Chapter 3

Hey guys! Can you listen to this song while you read the chapter? 

I think it fits well with the plot in this chapter. Thanks

"Brooke, will you be my girlfriend", Mason asked with pleading eyes.

I made the hardest decision in my life.

"Mason, I..."

--------------------

"Mason, I can't", I said sadly.

"Oh, um...okay", Mason said.

 I felt really bad now. Mason and I have been best friends since 1st grade, and now I probably ruined our friendship.

 "I'm sorry it's jus-", I started to say. 

"Just leave", he said. "I don't want you here anymore".

 "Okay", I said. I quietly left the house. 

I didn't realize I had been crying until warm tears rolled down my cheeks. 

I walked into my house without saying 'Hi' or 'Hello' to my brother. I went straight to my room. Realizing I had ruined my relationship with Ben, I started sobbing and crawled to my bed. Mason was only one of the two friends I have. 

I called Scarlett to let her know I was coming over.

Hello?

*sobs quietly*

Brooklyn!? Are you okay??

Can I please come over?

Yeah, sure. I'm picking you up though.

K, see you in a bit. Bye

Soon enough Scarlett was at my front door ringing the doorbell. We got into her car and drover silently to her house.

 When we got inside, we both went up to her room. She sat down on her bed, while I plopped on it and cried some more. 

"Brooklyn, you gotta tell me what's wrong so I can help you", she said. 

"You sound like my mother", I said. She started to rub my back. 

"Does it involve Mason having a crush on you?", she asked. How does she know that?  

"How do you know?", I asked confused. I sat up on the bed and laid next to her.

 "Brooke, ever since 7th grade you could tell that he's liked you. Haven't you noticed?", she asked.

 I shook my head no. I really haven't noticed because I thought Mason was just being sweet like a best friend should be.

 "I don't know what to do now Scarlett. I feel like what I said was shit talk", I said. 

"Does that mean you like him?", she asked confused. "I thought you said you only liked him as a best friend." 

"I do I just-", I started, "I don't know. But I'm staying over because I'm tired", I said. She laughed. 

"Okay you can stay. I'll call your mom for you." 

I was super tired and confused about my feelings. Mason was sweet and kind and always had my back when I was in trouble. He always had that handsome smile and perfect lips that you could kiss. Oh my gosh what am I saying? Do I like Mason?

--------------------

Oh my gosh! I actually got time to write today. I did not plan on this by the way.

I had extra time in my study hall to get this chapter in. Yay! 

I really would like feedback on my chapters because I don't know if what I'm writing is correct grammar and punctuation. It would mean a lot!
