Dancing Through the Storm

Chapter 1 Brooke

Brooke

My Mom and I are heading to one of her friend's houses. To Colton Birreli's house, my childhood rival, even after I moved away. Ever since we were little, we hated each other. I know hate is a strong word but he said it himself, "Brooke, I hate you and I always will!".

My Mom insisted on driving us 7 hours to get to their house. Why couldn't we have just taken the Via? The awkward silence went on for a while till my mom finally spoke, "Linda told me that Colton has really grown to be a real handsome young man." She looks at me, then back to the road.
I burst out laughing, "Yeah, ok Mom." She give me a look and then a small grin.

Only about an hour until we arrive to their house. I am excited to see Colton's little sister, Sarah, but Colton, hell no. The last time I saw him, we were 7 and Sarah was only a few months old. I was not excited for this.
