Book 1
Not all love stories have happy endings.
"It's me, it's me Stiles...your best friend." Brooklyn's stepbrother Scott returns to live with them and from then, her whole world turns upside down. Her life is suddenly filled with werewolves and th...
It is a Sunday night, school break had just ended and the first day as a Sophomore is tomorrow. Brooklyn and her mom are getting ready for a movie night, deciding on 'The Social Network' when the doorbell buzzes. "Sweetheart, could you get that?" She calls as she scrubs off the grease of the popcorn off of her fingers.
Brooklyn progresses to unlock the door to see a boy that looks her age along with an older man, whom she assumes is his father. Suddenly, he grins at Brooklyn almost as he had known her, and to her surprise, he appears strangely familiar to her.
"Long time no see Brook."
"Who are you?"
Melissa wanders up behind her and freezes, dropping the towel from her hands, "Rafe? Scott?" She looks concerned and startled simultaneously. She dragged Scott into a tight hug before he moved to embrace Brooklyn with one before hesitating,
"I've missed you."
He looks her up and down, seeing how much she has grown while she stares at him trying to recognize him. He is around an inch taller than her and has brown, fluffy hair. He runs his hands through it before beaming. Her attention is brought to his mouth when she notices his jawline, which is a little uneven.
"Wait, oh my god...Scott!"
"Yeah, remember? Has it really been that long?"

"Nine years," she whispers wrapping her arms around him and proceeds to shake hands with his father. Feeling his touch sends shivers down her spine and gives her goosebumps, the way he shakes hands was unique. He would grasp her hand gently but use his thumb to press down, she was now convinced it was him. He doesn't look any different anyway.
"Guessing you were the stepdad."
"Correct... you've grown."
The four of them stand in silence awkwardly as melissa stares at her ex-husband, Brooke takes in the fact that they have a lot to catch up on so she grabs Scott by his arm into the living room.
Sitting him on the couch, she hands him a glass of pineapple juice while her mom speaks with her ex-husband. Brooke can only make out a few sentences of what they are talking about,
"W-what in the hell are you doing here?"
"Well, I thought we could try it again... we miss you both and well, I managed my job after all this time so I could make it up to you. I promise if you give me one more chance, I will always be here for you." He answers.
She only smirks in return more or less believing him, "The guest rooms are as good as new."
She helps him grab their luggage from the vehicle and arranges them in two different bedrooms, Scott's old room and an empty guest room. He thanks her once again before they sit down together and play the movie, except it is playing in the background as everyone is talking amongst themselves. Trying to catch up.
An hour has passed and it is midnight, the adults are exhausted and they head off to sleep, "Guys, straight to bed when the movie is finished, your first day of school is tomorrow," Melissa states.
Thirty minutes pass and Brooklyn and Scott have passed out on the couch.
********
The loud sound of the morning show causes Scott to jerk up, accidentally slapping Brooklyn on her face,
"S-sorry."
"What the fu-, get your leg off of me!"
"Shit, I think we fell asleep."
"We're going to be late!" Brooklyn screeches running to her bedroom to get dressed, picking out simple jeans, converse and a plaid shirt. Well, Stiles' shirt that she had stolen from his room back when the summer break had started. She had meaning to return it back to him when school began.

Brooklyn straightens her hair before heading to the bathroom, washing her face and applying just a touch of blush, mascara and lipgloss. She started wearing less ever since her friends Kira and Stiles told her she looks gorgeous already. Brooklyn is in fact a very beautiful young girl, with perfectly straight blonde hair, straight teeth and long eyelashes. But this isn't why she has many friends, her friends and family fell in love with her personality. She is really funny and fun to be around, she is brave and confident and doesn't worry about other people's opinions. She helps everyone with everything and anything and is compassionate about the things she likes. Her hobbies include reading, skateboarding and vlogging important days on her camera.
She beams in the mirror when Scott bursts in.
"Whoa, don't you knock?"
"S-shit I'm sorry I forgot I had to knock because of, um y'know-"
"It's fine, I'm done go ahead, wait why haven't you changed yet?"
"Why should I? Is my shirt dirty?"
Brooklyn rolls her eyes before going to grab her backpack and cell phone. Her mom strolls in, "Honey, your father, I mean stepfather, I mean Scott's father-" She sighs, "Is going to drop you two off."
"So are you getting back with him or?"
"I'm considering it, I mean if it's alright with you. You and Scott get along right, don't you miss him? I mean you two used to be inseparable."
"Yeah I remember, but when he left, Stiles was there for me... I just hope Scott doesn't change that," she mutters. She waves to her and walks outside running to the front seat,
"Shotgun!"
"Dumbass," Scott chuckles.
"I guess some things never change," his dad states smiling at her.
