CROOKED HEART.
chapter nineteen, the storm.
[ season nine, episode fifteen ]
BRIELLE ONLY EVER BELONGED in one place in her entire life. The Hilltop. The Hilltop is her home, it's her family's home. It's where they've lived their lives together, they've grown together within the gated farm community.
Truth is, she belongs wherever her family is.
Odessa, Cori, Flynn, Brielle, and Koda.
The Grimes' of the Hilltop.
The people she would do anything in the world for. The people that she will kill for without thinking twice about it.
"Hi,"comes a sudden voice. It draws Brielle from her thoughts, causing her to lookup from the table. A girl with beautiful curly hair stands in front of her.
"Hey?" Brielle says, her brows furrowing.
"I'm Mary," she holds her hand out for Brielle to shake. The Grimes girl takes her hand in her own, shaking it.
"I'm Brielle." She responds.
"Oh, I know who you are." Mary says, sitting down across from Brielle. Her words make Brielle draw back. "Oh, no! I'm not some creepy stalker, I promise! We all know stories about your mom's. The last name Grimes is kinda famous."
"Yeah, I guess." Brielle shrugs.
"So, I was wondering if you'd like to sit beside me at the movie tonight?" Mary asks, a pink hue coming to her dark cheeks.
Brielle stares, thinking for a moment. "I mean, sure. Why not?"
"Great!" Mary beams. "I'll meet you outside the auditorium before the movie starts!"
She hops up, scurrying off.
Brielle stares at the now empty seat. A thousand questions race through her mind. But the biggest is—
"What the hell was that?" Asks a voice as the seat Mary occupied seconds before is taken by Brielle's own brother.
"I think I'm going on a date." Brielle tells Flynn, her light brown brows creased.
Flynn grins. "My little sister going on her first date to the movies."
"That shouldn't even be possible," Brielle scoffs.
"No, it shouldn't but it is." Flynn replies. "And that's a good thing."
"What about you?" Brielle asks him. "Any cute boys or girls ask you to sit with them?"
"Yeah, but I turned him down." Flynn answers.
"Why?" Brielle questions.
"I don't like people like that, Ellie." He says. "I can't form romantic or sexual feelings for people. Boys or girls. I don't know what it's called."
"Asexual and aromantic." Brielle says.
"What?" Flynn makes a face.
