-"Brooke, Brooke!" I suddenly got dragged out of my daydreaming, and noticed I was at the cafeteria, with my friends. I looked towards Ben and nodded. He then let out a deep chuckle and looked back at Emily. "so, what do you think?" He asked, I was still confused so I have no idea what he was talking about.

-"Sorry, I wasn't-" I had rudely been cut off by Dean, who just sat down at the table, next to me.

-"hey guys! What were you talking about?" He seems to be in a pretty good mood today. Uh ok... He smirked as he looked at Scarlett. Scarlett just looked at him, digusted and rolled her eyes. I let out a small giggle for that, which seemed to have caught Dean's attention; he just rolled his eyes and turned back to Ben.

-"Emily and I are now together" He said, passing his hand by her shoulder. Wait, what? Like actually? That took me by surprise. Well, truth be told, they did look perfect for eachother. They cutely smiled as they looked at eachother. They look so happy.

-"Oh my gosh! I- uh, um Congratulations!" I exclaimed, hugging both of them, one by one. Dean just stood up and bro-hugged Ben, giving him a pat on the back.

-"Thank you Brooke, this is all because of you!" Emily couldn't stop smiling at me, I think her cheeks might aswell explode right about now. I was just confused, what did I do?

-"Huh?" I stared at both of them, as they passionately kissed. I looked back and Dean and noticed he was staring at me. I slowly stared down at his lips; gosh, they looked so cherry, so... I wish he and I could als-

Oh you wish.

Yeah, right. I gulped and turned around, watching the two love birds smile in between their kisses. I then cleared my voice, accidently interrupting their full makeout-sesh.

-"Oh, sorry" Emily said, looking around at all of us. We were all looking at them confused, uncomfortable, akwardy, and shocked.

The next few minutes we spent talking about them and how it happend. Turns out he proposed at a wish fountain. Anyway, the monitors started calling us up to meet up with Federico at the bonfire. It was still daytime so the fire was not on. Just a big pile of wood in the middle.

-"HELLO WISTERIAS, CONIFERS AND HARDWOODS! TODAY WE WILL BE DOING A SUPER FUN ACTIVITY CALLED ARCHERY!" We all clapped and cheered, exited for this activity. I have never really tried archery before. I mean, I did get these plastic false ones when I was little, but not any real ones.

I looked around and noticed Emily and Ben together next to me, cuddling. Yep, I forgot; Ben was a wisteria too. I then looked at my right, where I saw Dean sitting down in the tree trunk, laughing with his friends.

It feels so nice to see Dean smiling, I don't know, it just makes me comfort. I like it. And his dimples just make it even cuter.

-"Brooke, hey. You need to go and get the arch and some arrows, come on." Ben told me, still holding Emily's hand. I didn't notice that I was too invested on my thoughts about Dean that I completely forgot about everything else.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Dean's P.O.V

I carried my arch on one hand and the bag of arrows on my shoulder. I got closer to Emily and Ben, who were happily walking together, hand by hand. I looked at them and pointed an arrow at Ben, making him jump of fear. He then smacked my shoulder and gave me a 'don't embarass me' look. I chuckled and smacked him back, jokingly.

-"heyyy, chillout!" I exclaimed, lifting my hands up in the air as surrender.

I laughed for a bit before I noticed someone looking at me from not too far away. I turned around and noticed Liv looking at me. She was with her roomates and some other girls, talking. She then started saying something to them and they all started laughing, including her.

I love her smile, it is the most adorable thing I have ever seen in my fucking life.

Dean, you're such a softie. Stop getting into her, you will evertually fall.

Right. I need to stop this, I nee-, I can't go on like this. Liv is not like any other girl, she is different. She makes my breathing increase with her just being close to me. I need to be cautious. I mean, I can still be around her, but I will still be rude.

I can't fall. No.

I turned around and looked back at Ben and Emily, who were now kissing, again. Great. Another example of how fucking lonely and miserable I am. I continued to talk with Jonah and Lucas. Turns out Jonah likes Scarlett. What a surprise. I mean, with the looks he gives her, I don't judge.

-"Hi" I hear her angelical voice behind me. I turn to look at her, and my dumbass instinct made me creep a small smile in between my lips. I then immediately took it off, trying to look as emotionless as possible.

-"What do you want?" I rudely responded, causing shock in her expression. God, I felt so bad treating her like shit, she doesn't deserve it. She doesn't deserve me.

-"You know what? Bye, I'm tired of your fucking attitude" She quickly turned around and tried walking away, but I held grip of her waist.

-"Sorry, I'm just in a bad mood." I said, trying to apologise. But she just stared at me intensly. She then carried her eyes down to my lips, causing me a tremendous pain to lean down and kiss her. Before she could do anything else, she let go of my hand and carried on walking away.

You nearly kissed her dude. What about all that shit of 'I won't fall', blah blah blah...

Fuck that. I already fell.

A few minutes later we were all practicing our arching, shooting into a tree; to the diana. I used to go to archery so I'm not as bad as I thought.

-"How do you do it?" Liv asked, getting closer to me, staring at my skills. I forgot to mention, the monitors literally put me next to Liv on this activity. Just makes things soooo much better.

-"Do what?" I came back to her question.

-"you're so good at this, I suck" She said, looking at her diana and then at mine. She had zero points. I had 50.

-"here, let me help" I suggested, my chest touching right on her back. I could even smell her perfume, delicous. I picked up her arch and tangled my fingers with hers, helping her to shoot. I adjusted my angle and then let go of my hand, causing the arrow to go straight to the middle of the Diana.

-"Oh my god oh my god! I did it!" She jumped up and down in exitment, smiling. She then turned around and I noticed her lips were milimeters away from mine. Her hot breath against my face. Her gaze down at my lips, and my eyes at her plumpy, red cherry lips.

This was starting to tense up, due to the fact that her lips were almost touching mine. I placed one hand on the back of her neck and the other on her waist, leaning in. Our lips were about to connect with eachother when a certain someone ruined the moment; taking us both out of our tiny fantasy. Liv finally pulled away and looked at Lucas, who was standing there, just watching us.

-"hey guys! I see you got skills, Scarlett" Lucas said, placing his arm around her shoulder, smirking at her. As much as I wanted to kill my brother right now for interrupting our special moment and touching her, I couldn't because she wasn't mine. I can't do anything about it.

-"Yeah" Liv replied, laughing nervously, looking me back one last time. Her face was full of regret and pain.

Was it the pain of being with me or the pain of leaving me?

Hello everybody! I just finished this chapter and well, I hope you enjoyed it!

btw, I know all of you guys want them just to kiss already, but I want to firstly create tension between Brooke and Dean. I know, what a dumb idea. But you guys will just have to wait. Although I may or may not have added a kiss in one of the next chapters. (no promises).

xoxo,
