Brooklyn

Everyone is sat down on the dinner table in silence, looking down in the food. Luke and his new girl friend are with us right now and Michaela asked to be seated as far away from them as possible. On the other hand, I am right in front of them. Fantastic.

"Brooke, can you pass me the lasagne." Hannah said snapping me out of my thoughts. I nodded and passed her what asked for. Right at this second I can feel Luke's eyes one me. I turned to look at him and he quickly looked away.

"So Arz- Arly- Aspar-" Michaela said, trying to pronounce her name.

"Arzaylea" Luke corrected.

"That, how old are you?" She continued. Arzaylea giggled at her before answering.

"I'm 26" everyone stopped eating and looked at her. "Oh he goes for older women." I muttered, loud enough for Michael to hear, who was sat next to me. We both chuckled to ourselves at my statement.

"Fuck off Brooklyn." Luke said, glaring at me. Well who knew he's hearing is still working after all these concerts.

"I was just joking." I said.

"No you weren't." He said. He ignored my stare and continued eating. Everyone else was silent and was eating. They probably didn't want anything to do with this right now.

Luke became defensive all of the sudden and it's kind of annoying. Like this morning. He could at least say thank you to me for getting him a girlfriend, but no. Clearly, I'm his enemy who is trying to help him.

"Some bitch you are." I hear him say quietly. I looked up and immediately looked at him. "Luke." Hannah said in a warning tone.

"No don't, just let him." I said, showing no emotion in my tone of voice. Hearing that come out of Luke kind off hurt. Ever since he got back, he's been sending me mixed signals and I'm done with it. I've tried to keep my shit together and not attack him every single day I see him. What's changed? First he's cuddly and cute and then the next he's an asshole.

I put my fork down, trying not to make a noise and pushed my chair back giving my some space to stand up.

"Where do you think you're going?" Hannah asked causing everyone else to look at me.

"Going for a long walk." I said and began to walk down the hallway.

"Off a short pier." His voice said. I turned to look at him wanting him to be looking at me but he wasn't. He was holding Arzaylea.

"Maybe I should." Was all I said and quickly walked out of the house before he could make any other comments. Does he actually want me dead? He has so much hate for me that he actually wants me dead. And I don't know what I've done to him. But you know, it's fine coz he's the rockstar and I'm just a girl.

I began walking down the street, wearing my head phones and tried to get him off of my mind.

Michaela

"You fucking cunt!" I shouted from across the table. "She should." He replied followed by a chuckle. What the actual fuck I'd he thinking right now? This is not Luke coz Luke never talked back. He would apologise and beg for your forgiveness. This isn't Luke.

"Are you being fucking serious?!" Hannah shouted standing up from her seat. "Calum" I said, indicating that he should restrain her. He grabbed Hannah by the waist pulling her back down to her seat.

"Luke can I talk to you, alone." I stood up from my seat and walked out to the garden. I am beyond pissed and I just cannot deal with his bullshit. Especially when he is bringing a new girl in my fucking house.

We were standing in front of a pool not saying anything. All I want to do right now is push him in and drown him. But I can't.

"You should probably know that she wanted to kill herself. And you just practically told her to go for it." He looked at me as if I was joking but I wasn't. When the boys felt we were all upset. Brooklyn nearly overdosed on drugs coz she was addicted and Me and Hannah nearly got liver poisoning

"What is your problem with her? She hasn't done anything to you. If anything she tries her hardest to look at you with a smile to hide that she's still upset about the other night. And yes she told me." He stood there silent. He should be.

"I don't know. I have no clue why I'm like thing towards her and only towards her." He said. He walked to the wooden bench behind up and sat down looking at the beautiful purple sky. I sat next to him waiting for him to talk again.

"It her, she's so.... Brooklyn. And she has to stop being her for a second coz I can't take it anymore. That's why I have Arzaylea. I like her but not as much as I love Brooklyn. And she's my distraction."

"You're not gonna get anywhere acting like a bitch. And I may not be a fan of Arzaylea but there is no point using her as well." I still don't get why he has to be such an ass towards Brooklyn. He nodded and stood up from his seat.

"Get you shit together." Was all I said before walking inside the house with him.

12:34 a.m.

Dinner was probably the most awkward situation I've ever been on but I'm happy it's over. As for Arzaylea, she had to leave because she felt bad about what happened. This made me 10% happier.

Meanwhile it is past midnight and Brooklyn hasn't been back. Everyone had already been to bed but we all seem to have the same thought as to wait for her to get back. So, one by one, we came out of our rooms and waited for her. Now we are sitting here, looking at the clock, trying to phone her and trying our hardest to calm down.

"Call Brandon, she's not answering." Michael said worriedly. I nodded and and as I was just about to pick up my phone, Brandon was calling. I quickly grabbed it and answered.

"Hey where's Brooklyn-" he cut me off.

"Brooklyn is in the hospital." He said.

"What? Why?"

"I have not time to explain. Just come here and I'll tell you." He said before hanging up. I couldn't process what has just been said and so many thoughts are coming to my mind.

"Fuck!" I shouted.

"What?"  Calum asked. "Brooke's in hospital." My hands are shaking and I have no Idea what to do.

"Let's go, I'll drive." Michael said rubbing my back, attempting to keep me calm.

Hannah and I are in complete shock and are both shaking at the back seat of the car. Non of us are talking but we are scared. Is she dead? Did she actually took Luke's Comment seriously? Please don't be dead.

Hannah's hand was intertwined with mine and we are both on the verge of tears. Calum and Ashton took Brooklyn's car.

"This is you fault, Luke." Hannah said. Luke just nodded and continue staring out the window.

"If you didn't make those stupid comments she would've stayed at home, safe. But just hand to say it."

"I get it!" He snapped causing us both to jump. We all went silent the entire ride to the hospital hoping he's fine.
