Rain or Shine

Chapter 2

Brooke Pov.

I finally fell asleep by about 1:00am. Luckily today was Sunday, which meant I could just stay in bed, eat, and mope around.

I decided to actually get up and do something. I chose to put Finding Nemo on. I grabbed some pre-popped popcorn and got settled in.

By the end of the movie, I was crying my eyes out. Once it got to the part about where dory is asking marlin not to leave him, I couldn't help but cry my eyes out. It reminded me too much of Matthew.

I switched off the movie and searched through the channels to find something to watch. I quickly found repeats of Doctor Who. I watched them for about an hour before I decided to go and see the girls.

I slowly walked up the stairs towards Abigail's room. I was guessing Issy was in there too. I didn't bother knocking and just walked in. They both looked at me with matching faces. They were both full of pity for me. But I didn't want it.

"Hey boo, how are you?" Issy asked me.

"Well, i'll live" I said trying to lighten the mood a little, but failing. Abigail pulled me into a hug and Issy joined. We stayed like that for a while until I remembered something I had seen this morning, when I was scrolling through Twitter and Instagram.

"Can we please do the Best Friend Tag?" I asked, they just looked at me like I was crazy, I guess they hadn't seen it yet.

"We can upload it to YouTube or something, please I need something to get my mind off that dickhead" I said.

"Sure we can, what do we do?" they questioned. I explained to them that there are questions all over twitter that we can answer and we just have to have fun with it.

We set up a video camera and I fixed my hair and makeup. It was all smudged and my hair was askew. I applied my turquoise eyeliner and a little bit of mascara to my eyes, I had brown eyes so the eyeliner really made my eye color stand out. I grabbed my favorite 'Stussy' beanie and pulled it over my layered, light brown and pretty much dead straight hair. I checked myself in the mirror. I looked presentable, I mean I'm not going to lie and tell you I looked beautiful, because I didn't.

I sat back down with the girls and pressed the record button on the video camera. Issy pulled out her phone and handed it to me. I opened up twitter and found that #BestFriendTag was still trending. I clicked on that and found over 100,000 questions that we could answer.

"Hi guys! So today, I'm doing the Best Friend Tag. This is Abigail and this is Issy, you should recognize them from a few of my recent videos" I said pointing to each girl as I introduced them. I started my YouTube channel for an assignment, a little while ago. I post videos with tips for dancers and how to keep healthy.

"Yo!" Abigail exclaimed.

"Wassssup?!" Issy called out, making her voice crack a few times.

I stood up and quickly walked out, the girls looked at me expectantly.

"I'll be right back" I called. They started pulling faces at the camera, I laughed at their stupidness.

I walked back down the hallway towards my room, me and Abigail share a bathroom so I quietly walked into her room and tiptoed up behind them. I made a 'shush' gesture to the camera with my finger.

"AHHHH!" I yelled and jumped on Issy and Abigail. They both screamed and I fell to the ground in laughter.

"I think you broke my spinal cord" Issy said.

I just laughed even more.

"Abi! Pass me the phone" I yelled at her, feeling like I was on a sugar high.
