Dark Liam

Chapter 12

You paced the living room floor. Has Jacob already told everyone about you and Liam? You were 100% positive that you would lose what few friends you already had.

Your phone buzzed, it was from your friend Kate.

Kate: did you and liam really "do it"? i didnt even think you liked him..

You: kate please dont believe anything jacob says. we never did anything

You hated lying to her, but you really didn't want to lose her as well as everybody else.

Kate never texted back though. You were sure she probably hated you now.

Just then, your phone started ringing. Somebody was calling you.

"h-hello?" you manage to spit out.

"Brooke.. I-I don't know how to tell you this.." it was your father. it was obvious he had been crying.

"dad.. what's wrong??"

"it's your mother sweetie.."

"what?.. what happened to mom?" you were confused.

"she.. sh-she..."

"dad just spit it out!"

"sweetie.. your mother is dead."

Your jaw dropped and felt the tears start rushing out of your eyes.

"w-what d-do you m-mean shes d-dead?!" you started to sob

"honey.. she died in a car crash. She's gone."

You hung up the phone, not wanting to talk about it anymore. You dropped down to the floor with your head in your hands and started sobbing uncontrollably. This couldn't be true. You refused to believe it. It was all your fault. This never would have happened if you had never gotten angry and yelled at her like you did. 

You got on your knees and started to pray, "oh god.. please don't let it be true. I-I'm so sorry. Please don't punish me like this,"

You started remembering the last words you said to her, "just go away, I don't want to talk to you anymore!"

Oh god, why were you such an idiot? You regretted ever saying that. You would do anything to have her back.. She was only trying to protect you.

*2 hours later*

You were still laying on the floor crying your eyes out when your dad walked in the door. His eyes were all puffy and red.

"oh sweet heart.. come here." he picked you up and pulled you in for a big hug. You probably stayed like that for 5 minutes or longer. You never said anything though, you just sobbed into his shoulder.

"please don't tell me it's true,"

"it is." he whispered into your ear.

"I miss her so much," you say with your head laying on his chest.

"so do I sweetie. But at least she's in a better place. Now why don't you go up to your room and get some sleep," he said soothingly.

You figured you might as well, it was already 11:00 and you were exhausted .

You walked upstairs sluggishly and shut your bedroom door and layed down on your bed with your face in the pillow. You sobbed into it until you slowly drifted off to sleep.

*next morning*

You wake up with the sun shining right through the window hitting your eyes, making you squint.
