Brooke's POV:
I rode the Greyhound all night, listening to my iPod. First, I listened to Heart Attack by Demi Lovato. Next was When I was Your Man by Bruno Mars. I was about to cut my music off because I was tired of the love songs, when Everybody Knows by Dustin Tavella came on. I love the lyrics. I quietly began singing along with him.
"Your boyfriend is a douche bag. Everybody Knows. Your boyfriend is a douche bag. Your momma told you so."
My parents picked me up at the Greyhound station the next night. I walked inside my house and upstairs to my room. I set my bags down and laid down on my bed. I closed my eyes and drifted off to sleep.
I woke up the next morning, got a shower and got ready. I decided today I was going to go roam around LA and find new friends since all my current friends will probably take Cole's side.
I arrive at the beach and see some surfers out in the water. I walk down the shore a little and sit down to watch them. There were 4 guys. 2 blondes and 2 brunettes. They were all pretty cute, but the younger blonde was the cutest.
I'm sitting there for a few minutes when a tall, blonde girl walking over to me and sat down.
"Hi, I'm Rydel. I noticed you watching my brothers." she said, smiling at me. I laughed. "All of them are your brothers?" I asked. She nodded her head. "Yepp, oldest blonde is Riker, oldest brunette is Rocky, younger blonde is Ross, and the youngest one is Ryland." she said. "Wow. Big family." I say looking back at the water. The guys were heading in.
"Delly, who's this?" Riker asked. Rydel looks over at me. "I actually never got your name." she says. "Oh, right. Sorry, I'm Brooke." I say smiling. Ross, I think Rydel said his name was, kept looking at me. "Hey! I'm Riker." the oldest said. I smile up at him. The rest of the guys introduced themselves. "You're all insanely tall." I giggle. Riker smiles and starts walking towards their car with his surf board. "Wanna go hangout with us? We're going back to our house and swimming." Rydel asked. I nod. "Sure, sounds good. I don't have my swim suit though." I say. "Why do you need one of those when you've got your birthday suit?" I hear one of the guys mumble. Rydel rolls her eyes. "You can wear one of mine." she says. I nod and crawl into their car and sit down. Next comes Ross and Ryland. Riker's driving and Rydel is in shotgun. Rocky is sitting behind me in the 3rd row.
We get to their house and everyone files out if the car. My foot got hung on a seatbelt on my way out and I fell onto the pavement. Ross helped me up and lead me into the house. I followed him upstairs to Rydel's room and she handed me a swim suit. "Out the door, down the hall, first door on the left." I nod and head to the bathroom.
