The boy around the block

Chapter 19

Brook's POV

"Give it back!!" I yell at Rhett.

"Over my dead body!" He screamed at me.

"That can be fucking arranged!" I screamed at him, Replying to his comment.

The door shut and my mom walked into the living room. She stopped when she saw us fighting.

"Hey what's going on?" My mom yelled at us.

"He won't give me back the ring mom!" I said pleading her to tell him to give it back.

"Rhett. Please give her back the ring sweet heart. " by her voice she didn't want to talk about it.

"How is it fair that she gets Dads ring!? What do I get! Oh yea, nothing!" Rhett said storming upstairs to his room.

I drag my feet to the couch and slump onto the couch. I had the ring in my hand and just stared at it. After awhile, I slipped it on my finger and walked upstairs to my bedroom.

I check my phone and had a text message from my good friend, RaeLynn.

From:RaeLynn🙈😇

I walked downstairs to get some lunch. Once I got to the fridge my mom stopped me to tell me we were going to have lunch at the Grier's.

I walked upstairs to put on A Grey tank top, Skinny jeans, and my grey vans. I grabbed my phone off the charger and walked back downstairs.

My mom and I got in the car and went to the Grier's. Rhett didn't want to go because he was still mad at me about our argument. I only have one of dads things and he has the rest. It's not fair that he gets everything and I don't get anything from him. He was my father too!!

"Soo are you going to the Summer dance Saturday? I heard it was as big as prom. " Hayes asked me as he was playing COD black ops.

"Yea. What about you? " I asked keeping my eye on the screen, watching him play.

"Yea. Umm I've been meaning to ask you a question relating to that... " Hayes says scratching the back of his neck.

"Shoot" I said, telling him to ask the question.

"Brook. Would you do me the lovely honor of going with me to the Summer Dance" Hayes says, Kneeling down on one knee with a ring pop in his hand.

"Of corse, Hayes. I would love too!" I say hugging him. The guy I love is asking me to the dance. He probably doesn't feel the same though...

*SKIP TO SATURDAY*

Me and RaeLynn are in my room getting ready for the dance. This dance is just like prom, but it's in the summer.

RaeLynn was Curling my hair while I was doing makeup. After that, I was curling her hair and she was finishing her makeup.

We got our dresses out and our heels and got ready.

My dress and heels: Picture above
RaeLynn: Monsoon Natilie Prom dress and Nude pumps and a Nude and white clutch

We walked downstairs and got in Raelynn's car. We drove to the school and walked into the gym. We handed them out ticket and walked inside.

I spotted Hayes immediately and walked over to him. When he saw me he stop and looked at me in awe. I was blushing really bad, hoping he wouldn't notice.

"You look.... Beautiful " Hayes says staring at me in the eyes. He hugged me and lead me out to the dance floor.

I spotted RaeLynn and her date, which was Chase. I haven't really talked to him since the whole Ashley incident.

Me and Hayes were dancing, having a good time till a slow song came one. It was "Half a heart by one direction.

The lights dimmed and everyone one was dancing and swaying with they're date. I layed my head down on hayes shoulder and closed my eyes and let Hayes lead.

Hayes started to sing along with the song and it sent chills down my spine. I look up to see Hayes starring at me. I gave him a little chuckle and looked back into his eyes.

There goes that feeling again. The feeling of love, admiration, lust, everything that involves my happiness.

Then there is this feeling of rejection, fear, disappointment. Fear of him not feeling the same way.

We leaned in closely and our lips meet and moved in perfect harmony. This one was slow and full of passion. We pulled apart and stared back into eachothers eyes.

"Brook, I need to tell you something. Ever since the day we meet, with you singing with your brother coming inside on the last day of school, To the time where you and I were at the park and those guys were hitting on you and I had to pretend to be your boyfriend to get them to leave, to today. Where I saw the most beautiful girl walk in here and I was proud to call that girl my date. I know you probably don't feel the same. But Brook, I love you! A lot!! And if you don't feel same way that I do, my heart would break into a million pieces. I love you Brook" Hayes says to me. His voice, full of passion.

All I do I stare into his eyes.

"Say something. Please" Hayes says whispering, sounding like he is about to cry.

"I love you so much" That's all that managed to come out my mouth. Believe me if I could, I'd say a lot more.

"Brook Johnson, would you do me the honor of being my beautiful girlfriend?" Hayes says smiling through all of it.

I pull him down to my lips and give him kiss full of passion.

"So I'm guessing that's a yes?" Hayes says chuckling.

"Of corse!" I say hugging him.

"So when do we tell our parents?" I say pulling away from the hug.

"No need to. I already told them about me asking you out and they were all in for it. They said we'd make a cute couple. " Hayes said chuckling.

"Well they were right! We do!" I say.

After that, we danced all night long, not having a care in the world. It felt amazing to be back with my friends and dancing like there's no tomorrow.

But the best part about tonight was that I got to call my best friend, my boyfriend for the first time. The boy I love, is now mine.

And I couldn't be any happier!
