Beyond temptation(#Editing#)

Chapter 27:Pain!

Brooke, after thinking about the abrupt discussion she had with Wayatt, just wants to know why he didn't answer her question and wants to know why she asked that question. She decides not to wear her gown of yesterday, because she want to be a little relaxed and wear instead Wayatt's t-shirt, which seems fortunately large for her, stopping at her thighs.

She gets down and from the balcony, she sees Wayatt picking some remaining dirt in the parlour. The house isn't as dirty as she imagined, seems the others had already started before going to school. Brooke gets down slowly and sees Wayatt picking the dirt now, aggressively, like he is angry.

This action made her, avoid sending out a word. Even though she does not talk, Wayatt feels her presence and turns to her.

" What should I do?" She raises a question, not wanting to know why he seems so angry. It could be because of her, or because he simply does not want to talk to her. Anyway, she does not give a fuck of all that for now.

" In the kitchen, I think there are things to do," he responds.

Brooke turns without adding any other word, and seeing he isn't in a good mood to discuss.

" Is it my t-shirt?" Wayatt ask. Brooke stops and turns to face him, look at herself and look back at Wayatt.

" Yes it is, I-I just wanted something comfortable." She responds before Wayatt adds no words, and continues arranging the parlour. She forwards to the kitchen a little uncomfortable with his reaction.

To the kitchen, she starts wiping the already cleaned plates with a kitchen cloth, before arranging them to their place. " He regrets the night, and he does not even mind talking about it to me. Well, is true I do not usually give a fuck whatever happens between me and a boy but... If he didn't like it then let him say it. Why is he playing the mysterious guy? does he think I can't play also? He doesn't know me at..." Furious and destabilize by Wayatt's reaction, busy talking to herself and complaining, she didn't hang well a glass and it slips from her hands and broke.

Wayatt hurries to the kitchen, while she stays panicking in front of the scene.

"What have you done?"Wayatt yells at Brooke.

" I j-just wanted to take it to its place and it slipped and..." Brooke tries to explain panicking.

" And you couldn't be attentive? Why are you always doing everything badly? If you had never been here, nothing would have happened, you meeting me, the previous night and even this broken glass." He continues yelling.

Brooke couldn't send out any words, she is trying to assimilate what is happening, looking at Wayatt, like what has he just said?  He said she can't do anything properly, just like her mother uses to say, to compare her to her sister. Furthermore, he finally answered her question. Brooke is under misapprehension.

Wayatt, realizing the words he just cast, looks at Brooke who seems stigmatized by his words. Brooke bends down to pick up the broken glass silently, Wayatt bends too, to help her pick it " no stop!" She orders.

" I'm gonna help you..." Wayatt insists.

" I said no!" She yells, before one of the broken glass wounds her finger. She dreads and immediately sucks her finger to block the blood.

" Shit! Brooke, show me your..." He starts while trying to take Brooke's hand, but she gets up and he does so.

" No need, I just want to go from here," she says furiously.

She walks out of the kitchen and gets to the room, closes the door, and rehashes Wayatt's words all over.

Realizing he finally responded to her previous question. "If you had never been here, then nothing  would have happened, you meeting me, the previous night..."  And it is clear he regrets the night but didn't want to confess it.

Everything is now obvious in Brooke's head. She dresses up and gets down, if possible not wanting Wayatt to discern her.

" Brooke!" But unfortunately, it isn't the case. Wayatt glimpses her and calls for her. She turns and looks at him while chewing her nails.

" And your scar?... Have you..." Wayatt onsets. Brooke removes her fingers from her mouth.

" My wound? Do you worry about my pain? No, I don't think so. Let my finger bleed cause it is the only feeling I have now, pain! It has always been that feeling and nothing else, that's why people like you, love hurting me as if  I'm not a human being." She starts before Wayatt tries to interrupt her." No! I do not want to hear anything about you..." She takes a break before looking back at him." You finally answered my question, now I know you regret the previous night, if it depended only on you, I would never come to this house. Great Wayatt! Stop pretending you aren't like other guys only wanting sex from me, cause you want a scoop? You're worse than them." She turns and goes to her bike, while Wayatt tries to retain her, but no way, she is decided to go and never see him again.

To her house, she enters the kitchen and sits on a chair. Serve some water placed on the table and drinks, so much her throat is thirsty. She can't understand why she was expecting so much from a guy like Wayatt. What hurts the most, is the fact he told her he was different, that he wanted to change her. All that was a mess, before changing her, let him look at himself first.

" Brooke? I heard something like your bike arriving, but I thought you were in school? What have you done?" Mado asks while putting her bags on the table and sitting on the next chair, beside Brooke.

"Nothing Mado," she simply answers.

" Oh! Why are you in this gown? You're perfect inside," Mado makes Brooke smile for an instance " but you didn't come back home yesterday, where were you? And for God's sake, why were you not at school?" Mado worries before seeing Brooke's finger bleeding" what happened with your finger?" She holds Brooke's hand and sees the wound bleeding more and more. She takes the first aid box in the kitchen and comes closer to Brooke, and cures Brooke's wound " why haven't you cured this Brooke, it could infect,"

" Mado, I slept with Wayatt this night," Brooke declares, after getting out of her thoughts.

" ...Ohh, you mean the "friend" you presented to me last time? And are you always spending your nights with friends?" Mado speaks while kidding Brooke. Mado finishes closuring the wound and gets ready to listen to Brooke.

" Mado, that's not the matter," Brooke does not seem to share the joking phrase.

" Oh! You seem sad cutie. Ok, tell me everything."

" I do not even know what to tell you. We slept, and usually, it shouldn't have disturbbed me to sleep with him... I mean, the scenario was perfect. I get up and tell him " it was nice but I don't date boys," then he would be there, telling me to stay and have something with him, as other boys would do, but no
! I am the one troubled and he is the one not giving a fuck of the night." Brooke speeds out her words.

" But dear, has he told you that?" Mado questions.

" Yes, he said it. He wishes I never came to their frat house, we never met and never slept together."

" But that surely proves, he isn't like other boys, who just want sex with you, he surely wants more from you."

"Wayatt?" Brooke starts thinking about Mado's previous words, and after reflection, he does not date minors, and he isn't the genre of a boy wanting something with a girl after a night, especially a girl like Brooke, he is too strict. " No Mado, he is worse! He used me and now he does as if nothing happened. That's worse!" Brooke bites her nails angrily, while Mado does not add any other words. " Mado..., there is another thing I have to tell you. Ummm, Wendy and I, we had made a pact on Wayatt. Like who will make him fall in love the first. The loser will find for a university far from here when the time comes."

" Brooke..." Mado insists on her name like to warn her.

" I know Mado, it's not fair, but I just wanted to show Wendy, she can't smash in my territory. At home I already accepted, but not at school and with my friends and prey." She takes a break and sighs " don't worry, I can't continue like that, I can't continue the game. Let her have him. I will go far from here, never to see the two again." Brooke gets up from her chair and gets out of the kitchen to her room.

"It the first time I abandoned something, the first time I leave so easily something for Wendy to have it. I made my mind, such a boy can't trouble me like that. I'm Brooke Wild, I'm the one troubling, not the reverse. I think is okay for me Wayatt Cruz, we need some distance. Probably, I will stop thinking about you all the time."
