Broken

Chapter 8

Brooklyn's POV

"Sign here" the lady at the desk says to my mom. She signs the release paper and we walk out the hospital. We walk to the car in silence and ride home in silence. I wish I had a normal life. Normal friends. Normal parents. Normal everything! If I can't have any of that, can you at least give me one friend that understands me? Is that too much to ask? It's only on-

"Brooklyn!" My mom says, pulling me out of my thoughts.

"What?" I ask with sass.

"Don't get sassy with me miss" she sasses back at me.

"What did you want" I ask all innocent.

"Better, was that so hard?" She asks, eyes focused on the road.

"Just tell me what you wanted!" I snap annoyed.

"Fine, your father is coming back from his business trip tomorrow and the day after that he's going to leave again" she explains.

"Shocker" I say sarcastically.

"But," she continues, "we're going with him!" She says enthusiastically.

"What?" I ask surprised.

"We're going to Hawaii with your father for his next business trip! And, the Dolan family is coming with us!" She adds as we pull into the driveway.

"Your kidding right?" I ask we exit the car.

"Nope so start packing" she says. I groan and walk into the house just as she unlocks the door and I run up to my room. I dramatically throw myself onto my bed and let out a long sigh.

"I don't hear you packing!" I hear my mom yell to me from her room.

"UGH" I yell in frustration and get up. I pull out my suitcase from my closet and start packing.

"How long are we staying there?" I yell to her.

"2 weeks!" She yells back. 2 weeks of no school. Sounds good to me. 2 weeks with the Dolan twins. Sounds terrible. I pack enough outfits for the 2 weeks and a few extra just in case then I grab the essentials like hairdryer, hair straightener, hair curler, swim suits, and jewelry. Once I'm done, I lay down in my bed exhausted.

"Ding!" I hear my phone go off. Who could be texting me? I have no friends. I check the screen name.

Ethan🙄🖕🏼- hey! I heard we're going to Hawaii together, should be fun!

Ugh. No, it will not be fun. I leave him on read and decide to take a nap. I turn off my lights and then snuggle into the blanket.

"Ding!" I hear my phone go off again. I groan and pick up my phone again.

Ethan🙄🖕🏼- your not going to reply?:(

I ignore him again and put my phone on vibrate so he doesn't bother me again. I get comfy again and then slowly, sleep takes me over.

-the next day-

I wake up and wipe the drool from my face. Yes, I drool sometimes when I sleep. Damn, I was a sleep for a while. I let out a big yawn and lazily get out of bed. I walk into the hallway and I hear voices downstairs. One from my mother, one from a man. I slowly walk down the steps and notice my mom talking to my dad in the kitchen. I walk in and my dad gives me a weak, and obviously fake smile.

"Hey Brooklyn" he says.

"Hi" I say plainly.

"So I assume you already know about the trip" he says.

"Yup" I say and grab an apple.

"So we leave tomorrow with the Dolans so be ready" he says. I nod and walk up to my room. I'm not looking forward to tomorrow.

~tomorrow~

"Brooklyn! Let's get going" I hear my dad yell. I roll my eyes and leave my room. I walk down the stairs and don't even look at my parents then walk to the taxi waiting. I put in my suitcase then walk into the back.

-at the airport-

"Hey Brook" Ethan says as we approach the gate. I roll my eyes and sit down, ignoring him.

"Gate 148 now boarding" the lady over the speakers say. That's us. I get up and quickly rush to the gate, walking past the Dolans and my parents. I get on the plane then sit in my assigned seat. A few minutes later, Grayson sits next to me and then another teenage boy around my age sits next to him. Note I'm in the window seat. I guess the twins got caught up in fans since they're still famous as fuck. But I don't give two shits about that.

"Hey Brookly, do you have any headphones I can use?" Grayson asks me.

"Just the ones I brought for me" I say and pull my red beats over my head. I start to play my music and a rush of sadness takes over me. The song "pity party" by Melanie Martinez starts to play.

This song is like the perfect way to describe how my 10th birthday went down. I find it a bit creepy how it's exactly the same but oh well. It takes me back to that day. The day I met Ethan and Grayson. The day I met my best friend. Then my mind takes me to that terrible day when Ethan broke off our friendship. I feel the tears starting down my cheeks and I quickly cover my face, hoping Grayson doesn't see but I'm too late.

"What's wrong? Why are you crying?" He asks.

"Nothing" I say wiping away my tears.

"I know your lying" he says in a sad tone.

"Just leave me alone! Nobody cares! Not you, not my parents, not Ethan! No one!" I say as more tears come down. I play different music and blast my headphones to block out everyone. I close my eyes and pull my hood of my sweater over my head. I pull my hat down to cover my eyes then fall into a deep sleep.
