"Brooke what are you doing here with Aiden?" Edwards asks me when we walk into the office.
"We are staying in here the rest of the day. Please call his teachers and ask them if they can send his work to your office." I tell him.
"Why?" He asks.
"Because he has my siblings in all of his classes. And we aren't getting along right now and they are mad at Aiden because he is the one that I'm staying with. So they will do anything to get me back. Even though they don't want me." I whisper the last part.
"Fine." Edwards says and starts calling teachers.
"Sit." I tell Aiden. He does and starts his work for first period.
"They are sending people right now." Edwards says. I nod and pull out a book.
A few minutes later there is a knock at the door.
"It's open!" Edwards yells from his desk. I don't pay attention to who it is. All I'm concentrated on is my book. I notice Aiden stiffen and look down quickly. I give him a confused look and finally look up to see who it was. Big mistake.
"What do you want?" I snap at Xavier. He's just staring at me.
"Here are his papers." He says handing Edwards a stack of papers. "Brooke we need to talk." He says facing me again.
"Let me think about that." I put my finger on my chin like I'm thinking. "No." I finally say. Anger flashes over his face.
"Now!" He yells.
"No!" I yell back now standing. There was another knock on the door and no other than three of the boys walk in.
"Oh are we having a gathering?" Noah says. I glare at him.
"Riley will be here in a few seconds." Josh says putting his phone back in his pocket.
"As will John and Kendall." Ross says doing the same.
"Get the hell out of here." I say through gritted teeth.
"Let me think about that." Xavier says mocking me. "No." He says.
"Get. Out. Now!" I yell. They all look at me like they aren't fazed.
"Brooke we will drag you out if you don't come willingly." Ross says.
"Who are you to tell me what to do? Huh? Last time I checked we aren't friends anymore so you can't boss me around. None of you can!" I yell at them. Ross looks hurt by my comment but I don't even care anymore.
"Yeah but last time I checked you are still out sister so I can damn sure drag you out by you damn hair." Riley says coming into the office. Edwards is just looking from me to them. He looks so lost.
"I don't know. Last text I got from you, you practically told me to just leave that you don't want me here anymore!" I yell at him stepping closer.
"Oh really is that true? Because I never said that!" He yells at me.
"Then what exactly did you mean when you said I should just leave again?" I yell at him.
"Don't. Just don't Brooke." He tells me. John ad Kendall run in and see us fighting. I have my hands balled up into a fist.
"Don't what Riley? Tell them that my own brother doesn't want me around anymore? Or that I actually don't want to be around anymore?" I ask him.
"Brooke I want you around. I just don't like this new you. I want the girl from two and a half years ago back." He tells me.
"Well tough luck. That girl is dead." I tell him. I close my eyes and turn around so I'm not facing them.
"Brooke come here." I hear Aiden say. I look up and he is standing from his chair. I run over to him and into his arms. Right then and there I break down.
"You get your hands off of her!" All of the boys yell.
"You back the fuck up right now!" Aiden yells at them. He has so much authority in his tone.
"That is my damn sister and you are not taking her away from us!" Kendall yells.
"Brooke do you want to go home?" Aiden asks me. I nod knowing he's talking about the apartment.
"If anyone takes her home I will." One of the boys say. I'm not sure who.
"Not that home." Aiden says and walks out if the office.
"Get back here!" I hear Riley yell at us then feet running after us. Someone take my wrist and for fully pulls me away from Aiden making me fall on my back. Then I hear the sound of someone being punched and Riley is next to me on the ground. I look up at Aiden ad anger laces his face. He picks me up and starts to walk away.
"Stop!" We hear Xavier yell. I turn around and stumble forward. Aiden still has my hand in his so I don't fall.
"Leave us alone." I tell Xavier.
"Brooke I just want to talk. Alone." He says. His voice is calmer now but I still don't trust him.
"But I don't want to." I say and start walking away pulling Aiden with me. We get to my car and I get into the driver seat.
"I have one stop to make before we go home." I tell him driving out of the parking lot.
Ten minutes later we end up and my old house. I notice mom and dad are home.
"Come on." I tell Aiden grabbing his hand. He follows without a word.
"Brooke why are you home and who's this?" Mom asks when I walk into the door.
"First room on the right. Can you start packing my things please?" I ask Aiden. He nods ad heads up the stairs.
"Why is he packing your things?" Mom asks.
"Where's dad?" I ask ignoring her question.
"In the living room." She says. I walk to the living room and see dad on the couch watching tv.
"Daddy I have to tell you guys something." I say when I sit down. He looks at me and smiles. But his smile soon fades when I tell him the next three words that come out of my mouth. "I'm leaving y'all."
