Our birthday was amazing. Noah and John got me two different necklaces. Ross got me a promise ring. Joshua got me a bracelet with charms on it. Each charm has a diamond on it. I got two sets of two dozen roses from both Riley and Xavier. Kendall and mom got me dozens of new outfits and shoes. And dad told me to wait for my present from him. I'm not completely sure what it is, though he said it will be here tomorrow. Yay. Well he said all of our presents will be here tomorrow. So after the cake we went up to our rooms and right as soon as my head hit the pillow I was out.
"Brooke dad has our presents. We can't see them until you wake up!" Riley and Xavier yell at my door. I jump out of bed an run for my door. The boys stayed over yesterday so they were standing at my door waiting for me as well. I didn't stop when I got out of the door. I just ran all the way downstairs and into the kitchen where mom and dad were.
"Morning. Breakfast?" Mom asks. The others run in behind me.
"No mom presents." We all yell. Her and dad just laugh.
"I think you want breakfast." She says. I narrow my eyes at her.
"Skye just let them get their presents." Dad says handing us each a medium sized box. "Open." He says. We all do and I start screaming. We each got a set of keys.
"Did we get cars!?" I yell. Dad smiles and nods. Me and the other three run outside. But there were no cars.
"DAD!" We all scream. He comes outside and starts laughing.
"Garage." He says walking away. We all run to the garage and open it. There sat four Mustang Convertibles.
"Omg!" I scream. "Who's is who's?" I ask dad behind us.
"Brooke hit your lock button." Dad says a I do. The blue one beeps. I run over to it. "Riley." Dad says and he does the same. The black one beeps. He goes over to his. "Kendall." She does it and the white one beep. "Xavier you get the red one." Dad says. We all have smiles on our faces. "You may go." He says walking away. And we take that opportunity and drive away.
After being out for three hours just riding around we finally went home. Ross rode with me and we talked about anything and everything.
"So tomorrow is Monday, are you excited for school?" He asks. I park the car ad glare at him.
"I honestly don't want to go back. I'm sick of the way people look at me. I'm sick of the way I get talked about when I'm not near one of you guys. I'm fixing to just breakdown and not go back." I say getting out of the car.
"Brooke why didn't you tell us?" He asks getting out too.
"What's going on and what didn't she tell us?" Xavier asks standing next to his car. I look at Ross giving him the 'keep your mouth shut' look but he didn't listen.
"She still gets bullied when she isn't around us yet she didn't tell us." He said and all of their head turned to me.
"Why Brooke?" Riley asked. I just bit my lip so I don't let the words I'm thinking slip, so I settle on just shaking my head.
"Why Brooke?" Xavier repeats Riley's question. I just stay quiet.
"Why won't you tell us?" Kendall asks. I still stay quiet. I finally turn and run out of the garage, into the house, and all the way to my room, once in my room I lock my door and slide down it crying.
I didn't tell them because everything that those people say are true. I am ugly, I am useless, and I shouldn't even be here.
"Brooke open the door." Riley says beating on it.
"No." I say trying to hide the fact that I'm crying.
"Brooke you're crying. Why?" Noah asks. I knew they would hear it.
"Please. Leave." I say still crying. I heard Xavier whisper something to one of them and then footsteps fading away.
"Brooke can I come in?" Xavier asks me.
"No!" I yell.
"Why not?" He asks.
"Because Xavier I want to be alone." I tell him.
"But I don't want you to be alone." He says and I can hear him slide down the wall.
"I'm sorry. I'm sorry." I repeat myself over and over again.
"Sorry for what Brooke?" He asks but I don't answer him. Instead I get up and walk over to my window. I need to get away. I grab a paper and pencil and write them a note.
'Im sorry that I am a bad sister, bad friend, bad daughter. You had to put up with me for seventeen years and when I didn't grow up looking like Kendall, beautiful ad smart, I knew there was something wrong. I felt that when I wasn't in the room you talked about me. The kids at school tell me I'm ugly, useless, and I shouldn't be here, and they're right. So I'm leaving for a while. Here is my phone and keys. When I'm ready to come back I will. I will take all of my money so I can get through my time away. But everything else is going to stay here. I may not love me but I love you. Bye.' I put the letter on the bedside table along with my phone, keys, promise ring, necklaces, bracelets, and anything else that may be important to me. I grabbed my wallet and purse along with a bag to put a few things in. I put a few outfits in it and shoes. Then I opened my window a snuck out. Leaving everything behind. And I'm not coming back for a while. When I'm out of the window I start running. I run and don't stop. I have to get out of town.
