Brookes pov

Connor got me in the car and wrapped a blanket around me as I sat in the passenger seat.

"Do you want to talk about it? Would you like me to stay the night? I will can do anything you would like." Connor told me.

"Connor?" I asked.

"Yeah Brooks?" That's a new nickname. I kinda like it is kinda cute.

"Can, can I stay the night at your house? I don't think I can go home like this. I'm sorry."

"No Brooks it's fine. You can stay for as long as you like." He put his hand on my thigh and rubbed it with his thumb. It felt nice.

"Thank you Connor. It means a lot."

We got to Connor's house and I was able to wipe away my tears and dried mascara before we could walk in side his house. I saw Madisen on the coach scrolling through TikTok, Tom, Connor's dad is on couch watching hockey and his mom clean up the kitchen from there supper. The house smelled like a home cooked chicken diner and boiled vegetables, it smelled like home. The house was cleaned except for Connor's hockey gear and Madisen gymnastics bag laying in there
Living room and entrance way. I walked to bathroom hoping to get of the last bit of makeup of my face.

"Oh My god Brookie! It's been forever scene I last saw you!" Madisen yelled jumping of the couch. Because of that every one in the house knew I was there. "Are you ok? Brooke have you been crying? What did my idiot brother do!"

"What did I do? Did nothing I-" Connor started. I had to cut them of I didn't want them to know what happened tonight.

"No. No. No, mads you got it all wrong. Me and Connor were just laughing up a storm in his truck. But he is stupid." I smacked his arm and he smacked mine back. I continued to head to the bathroom and I shut the door on the while Connor brings my stuff up to his room. I wiped of the makeup. I looked in the mirror and saw the my face, my eyes were red and puffy. I could hear quite muffled yelling by the Bedard family. I could make out. "Why was she crying?" "What do you do?" "How did you not tell he was bad person?" Why didn't you beat them?" And then Connor had said. "He was gone by the time I got there and all Brooke wanted to do was go home. We'll i guess here." I knew thing were going to go well tonight so I splashed my face with cold water. Then dried of with a towel and walked out off the bathroom to the living room were they were. I put on a smile and off I went. "Hey Connor we're are you? Want to watch a movie and eat snacks with me? Mads your invited!" 

"Movie night with Brookie let's go you shit head!" Mads yelled. "I'll cook the popcorn!"

"I'll pick the movie!" Connor yelled.

"I'll help Madisen with the popcorn!" I walked pass Connor and gave him a weak smile letting him know that I was ok. I went over to Madis to help with the popcorn. We put on the stove and prepped the pan with butter and salt.

"Brooke are you ok?" I know that they were all concerned for me I came in  there house in Connor's arms crying like a mad woman.

"Mads. If your asking if I'm crying because of your brother then you got it all wrong. I called him because I trust him with my life so I called him when my date with this guy went real south and probably could have ended so much worse. But I want to forget about it ok. Please drop it."

"Ok Brookie." We continue to bake the popcorn and get other snacks and drinks ready. "But I can till watch the movie right."

"Oh my! Of course you still can Mads." We laughed at each other. Then we grabbed the drinks, and grabbed the finished popcorn and snacks and sat down to watch 'the titanic'.

We finish the movie and Madisen was on the couch sleeping, I was laying on Connor's chest with our arms around each other and a blanket around us. I had my leg in between his and one of my arms was around his stomach while the other was underneath him. His arms were around me and had his head in on my shoulder. It feels good to know that he will always be here for me, no mater were or what. I love him. He's my best friend.

"Brooks the movies done. Want to go up stairs to sleep?" Connor asked.

"You gave me a new nickname earlier and yet your still using it." I say.

"Yeah? I thought it would be nice to have my own nickname for you. Is that ok?"

"I love it Connor. Thank you its sweet. And yes let's go up stairs or I'll fall asleep." We got up and I grappled the blanket we were using and put it over Madisen. We walked up the stairs and got in bed. We started to cuddle the same way we we're down stairs on the couch.

"Goodnight Brooks." Connor whispered to me.

"Goodnight Connor." I whisper back
