The Boy Next Door *On Hold*

Brooklyn POV

The party was actually considerably fun after I drank Val's blood. I still can't get over the fact that I actually did that.

After we left the bedroom that we were in, I sort of just stayed by Val for the rest if the night. He was like my body guard sort of.

We left the party a little after midnight because all the fun people were leaving. When I got home I went into my bathroom and took a shower. I would've slept over Witney's but I didn't really feel like it.

My dad was asleep when I got in the house and I was praying that I didn't wake him up. He has cat like reflexes, he could probably kill me before he even realized I was his daughter and not some government fugitive.

"Brookie-poo! It's time to wake up!" My dad sang coming into my room and ripping my covers off of me.

I rolled onto my stomach and buried my face in my pillow to protect my eyes from the monstrous light that was coming in through the window.

"Brooke.." My dad said shaking my leg. "Don't make me get the water bucket."

"I'm up." I groaned.

"Get dressed we're going out for lunch."

"Lunch?"

"Lunch."

I picked my phone up off of my night stand and looked at the screen. 11:47. "Lunch."

"Be ready by 12." My dad said. "And dress nice. I want you to meet someone."

I dragged myself out of bed and looked in my mirror. My hair was a mess and I had droll on the side of my mouth. My eyes looked crusty and somehow I managed to put my shirt on backwards while I was sleeping.

I silently laughed to myself and grabbed my tooth brush.

I went to the bathroom brushed my teeth, washed my face and brushed my hair so I looked a little more like a human.

I marched downstairs at exactly 12:01. I was wearing a baby pink sundress and white flats.

"You can't dress any nicer?"

"You can't dress any nicer?"

My dad was wearing black jeans with a white dress shirt and a black tie. He looked like he was trying to get his younger years back.

"Touché"

"Can we just go?"

He laughed. "Yeah."
