Chap 25

ONE YEAR LATER

“Gosh! I’ll never get tired of that!” I giggled next to a naked Josh. “Me either!” he laughed and kissed my nose. It was the third time me and josh ever slept together, bringing the grand total to three.  After he-who-shall-not-be-named left, I hooked up with Josh. After spending six months walking around like a Zombie and crying out all of my body fluids, I had enough. The jerk broke my heart. Although I did break his first.

Finally I moved on, and with my Seventeenth birthday party in two weeks I couldn’t wait! Well my birthday was last month but I remembered Tristan and couldn’t celebrate with my friends, but they decided to throw me this awesome party.  A lot had happened in a year thinking back on it.

Caroline and Jake are still going strong, if not stronger because they’ve both matured out like fine cheese! Cassie and Richard are the perfect couple. Catriona and Amy got joint first in a huge dance competition which made them ALL WORLD title holders and they’re now practically celebs! I went insane but Josh helped me find my way back. I felt comfortable around him, although I miss the boys. I couldn’t do much about it now. “Come on time for school.” Josh said, getting out of bed. He was looking around for his underwear; little did he know it was flying high on the roof fan. I let out a wolf whistle. “Hey Sexy!” I yelled and clapped. I than realised that we were in his house so he could just grab a fresh pair from the drawer. Damn him. “I’ll go make breakfast.” He said eyeing me like I had something to do with his disappearing pants! Pants. I remembered the first day of school last day, seeing Tristan’s White pants and Seth’s Yellow ones, Harry’s pants during a striptease, Daìthì’s when he flashed me and Tylor’s when he was drunk.  I missed the boys like hell, but one in particular. Tristan, even the name was enough to bring that stupid smile to my face. Then tears, depression and regret. I regret not giving us a chance when he begged; I regret not saying anything to him before he left but I will never ever regret meeting him. He taught me how to love, lust, long for, miss, he taught me about his past, on being myself and on having fun, and for that I will always be grateful for the day the not-so-brothers brothers sat in my history class. Either side, jumping on Seth by our lockers, either side, walking around school, either side. Back to the present shall we? I mentally slapped myself. Rebecca got pregnant and had an abortion. Now no guy will go near her, which I’m loving very much.

I threw on a pair of Josh’s boxers over my underwear and the tee shirt he had on last night. His room is always tidy with everything put in its place. I haven’t said those three little words to Josh yet, it took me three weeks to say it to Tristan, but I can’t form the words with Josh.  I don’t know why, but I’m enjoying how this feels. Out in the hall I run into Cassie and Caroline.in the same attire as myself. We all burst out laughing. We had a double/triple date last night and everyone stayed here, seeing as Josh moved here without his parents.

We all went down to the kitchen to find Josh making breakfast, which consisted of eggs, bacon and Jake and Richard who were trying to figure out a toaster. Someone should tell them you don’t put a fork in it. “You’ll get electrocuted!” I sang as I wrapped my arms around Josh. Caroline and Cassie did the same with their boyfriends. I unplugged the toaster and removed the fork laughing at the boys feeble attempt.

After our feed I went for a shower and got changed into the new white dress that Josh had given me. I was still wearing the bracelet that Tristan had given me which said ‘never give up’.

We walked to school and parted ways in the hall. I made my way to Ms Lotus’s room. “HISTORY! Best subject ever!” I was telling Cassie. “You’re mental Brook! No one else thinks that!”  she stopped dead outside the door and turned around to face me. “Shit! Sorry Brook I forgot!” I looked at her questioningly and she moved so that she wasn’t blocking the door. I gasped. There were two new boys sitting either side of my seat. “Brook!” the said at the exact same time and bolted towards me. “I missed you guys!” I said laughing. “You too! Jinx!” they said at the same time again. I missed Seth so much. “I missed you tommy!” I screamed at him. “You too Hawary!” “It’s Harry, not Hawary.” He mumbled at me but was still laughing with his cheeky lopsided grin. “Hey sweet cheeks!” Daìthì yelled and kissed my cheek. “Well!” Tylor said sitting on the teacher’s desk. “Tylor!” I screamed and jumped into his arms. “Please don’t attack your teacher!” Tylor scolded me. “Ms Lotus! Noooo bring her back you monster!” I said to him. “You guys gonna disappear on me again?” I asked him. “Where’s Tris…tan?” I asked slipping back into his old nickname. All these faces fell. “Brook.” Harry chocked out and wrapped me in a bear hug, “He’s dead.”

“What?” I asked tears flowing freely. Someone wrapped me in a hug behind me. “Shh babez its fine. I’m here now.” I turned and buried my head in Josh’s neck. “He’s gone? He ca can’t be.” I sobbed feeling the hysteria rise in me. The guys had brought me home. Tylor came and gave me a hug. “I love him. I’ve always loved him! And now he’s gone!” I sobbed. Josh looked torn. “Does she know?” he asked over my shoulder. “No. he doesn’t want her too. She looks happy.” Tylor whispered back. “She needs… it. She’s miserable. Do you know what it’s like to hear her mumble his name at night?”  “You will never get her back again.” Tylor warned. “I understand this!” Josh yelled. “I love her but she doesn’t love me back!” I fell onto the floor and hugged my knees. “Tristan.” I sobbed louder than it was meant too. Everyone my sitting room was now staring at me. “I’ll leave.” Josh said, picking me up. “Brook.” I was unable to look up, consumed in grief. Josh sighed “Brook, you’ll thank me some day. Please don’t forget that I love you.” Tylor than blocked my view and I passed out.

I woke up in my bed feeling a warm body beside me. I smiled closing my eyes, loving the way our bodies fitted perfectly together. I sighed happily. “I love you Tris.” “I love you to Brook.” I then went into a comfortable sleep.
