the girl with pink hair, nihachu

twenty three

it was finally the day; the day brooke was going out with bridget. it was hard to admit but she was nervous.

she wore a simple black dress, fixing her hair and putting on matching black flats before walking out the door. they were planning on meeting at a restaurant near brooke's apartment.

she got in the car and drove to the location bridget had given her, her nerves kicking in. should she trust bridget? has she changed at all?

brooke pushed the thoughts aside. it was no use now, she couldn't just bail on her. it would just make their situation worse.

when she arrived, she saw bridget standing outside the fancy building. she smiled when she saw brooke approaching, running up to her and pulling her into a huge hug.

brooke smiled and hugged back. maybe this wasn't going to be as bad as she thought.

they walked in together, sitting down and waiting for the waiter to take their order. they talked about their jobs, love life and new friends.

"so, have you been seeing anyone?" bridget asked the girl. brooke thought for a second, then slightly shook her head from side to side.

bridget nodded before looking at the entrance doors to the restaurant. niki was standing there with a girl, who wasn't anyone she recognized.

brooke immediately looked back at bridget, trying to hide her face. why did she have to come to this restaurant? brooke started freaking out inside.

"hey brooke!" niki said as she was passing by, but stopped when she realized it was her. "it's weird seeing you here!"

brooke smiled, not knowing how to react. "niki, this is bridget." she introduced and niki and bridget shook hands, also smiling.

"you haven't met reina!" niki said excitedly, pushing the girl in front of her slightly and playfully. brooke smiled in response, shaking her hand.

"nice to meet you, i'm brooke." she said before letting go of the girl's hand. reina nodded in response.

everyone was smiling as an awkward silence took over. "well, we should go sit down. see you later." niki said, walking to another table away from the two.

she watched as reina made niki laugh and smile. she watched as they talked like they've known each other since childhood. she watched as reina kissed her cheek. she kissed her cheek and niki let her.

brooke's heart was beating fast and she felt like crying, like yelling. she had never felt this way before. was it jealousy? was she mad that niki was with another girl? they're not even together.

bridget noticed brooke's breath hitch, concern taking over her face. "are you okay?"

"I need some air." she said quickly before leaving the restaurant. brooke sat on the front step, her face in her hands.

why was she acting this way? it was just a peck on the cheek. niki would tell her if she was with someone, right?

brooke's head perked up a bit when she heard the sound of the front door creaking. assuming that it was bridget, she kept her head down. that was until she heard her voice.

"brooke?" the soft german accent spoke, causing brooke to look up at her. "are you okay?"

"yeah." she responded.

"are you sure? you don't seem like it—" niki started before being interrupted.

"i'm fine! just go back to your girlfriend." brooke let out, quieting down by the end of her sentence, hoping niki wouldn't hear. but unfortunately, she did.

"girlfriend? what makes you think she's my girlfriend?" she asked, trying to stay calm but it was obvious she was slightly irritated by brooke's remark.

"don't play games with me niki! I saw her kiss your fucking cheek! everyone did!" brooke said louder, not exactly knowing why she was mad at the girl.

"brooke, why are you being like this!?" niki asked, getting more irritated.

"just go niki." brooke said, calming down.

"no! not until you tell me what's going on!"

"nothing is going on!" said brooke, trying to walk away from her.

"you can't just walk away, brooke!" niki said, choking a bit. brooke could tell she was about to cry.

she sighed as she got into her car, driving away.

niki just stood there, in the same spot. tears were slowly trickling down her face as she watched brooke drive off.

she collapsed onto the ground, sobbing. why was brooke mad at her? what did she do wrong?

she stayed there for a minute longer before driving off as well. she just wanted to be home.
