Chapter 9|| Shopping with the Infamous Luke Hemmings

Brooklyn's POV

I wake up in a cold sweat. Nightmares again, the plane crashed and I was the only one to get out.  Benjamin was killed, all the kids died. I started crying and Luke just then wakes up. " Brooklyn are you okay? " He glances at the clock and rubs his eyes " It's 3:00 in the morning. Go back to sleep." Concern written all over his face. 

Luke's POV

Brooklyn suddenly starts to cry. I have no idea why. " Brooklyn are you okay?" I ask I turned my head and scanned the numbers on the clock beside her bed with my eye, " It's 3:00 in the morning. Go back to sleep." I was seriously concerned. Though I don't know what she's been through I just met her and she's so good to me even when I'm at my worse. 

Brooklyn's POV

" Nothings wrong you need to go back to sleep. It was just a nightmare."I proceeded to tell him, as I got out of bed I needed to take a walk, or a drive. He grabbed my arm and I whip  my head around facing him. 

"Tell me whats really going on?" he says raising one eyebrow and perching himself up on one elbow ready for a story. I tuck my hair behind my ear and sigh rather loud.

" It was just a nightmare." I say looking at him, I felt as if I was lying to him, it was the partial truth, not the whole truth. 

"Then tell me about your dream." he says raising both his eyebrows this time. Maybe this'll help me get over it. I climb back in the bed and face him. 

" Just 2 days ago I was in a terrible plane crash when I was flying in here. I couldn't save any adults but I ended up saving 13 kids." I start off here goes nothing. 

" You saved your brother Ben, is it?" He asked I was surprised in all of his hurting and hungover-ness he remembers his name.

" Yes, it's Ben, Ben isn't really my brother, he's the kid seated next to me on the plane I couldn't save his parents. He has no idea what happened because he has amnesia. The plane went down and I was stranded. I lost everything I packed except for the waterproof backpack I had with me." I started sobbing after that and Luke held me until was out of tears and so tired I could barely keep my eyes open. 

" You did the right thing Brooke, you saved lives." He says and I look at him and smile the hurt smile but also sincere. He leans down and kisses my forehead and I snuggle into his chest as I fall back to sleep. I just met this guy and I'm already sleeping in the same bed as him. Good going Brooke.

8:00 am

The sun shone through a crack in the curtains I put up and streamed on to our mangled bodies, I look as if we were clinging onto each other for dear life but also somehow fighting. I crawl out of the bed and walk into the bathroom, now I though Carl was going to live with us so I bought guy stuff. The house has a lonely couch in the living room and thats it, I'm having some guys come in Thursday to furnish it. The money for that Mr. Darwin was going to pay for he said " I dont want to furnish it myself when its your house you make great decisions and its not my house its yours." 

I looked at myself in the mirror and smiled. Its always good to start your day off with a smile.  I run out and grab my clothing for the day out of the drawers very careful not to wake Luke. I slip back into the bathroom and strip. I hop into the shower and 1 hour later I have brushed my teeth, taken a shower , and blow dried my hair.

 I walk out the door of my bedroom and up the stairs to Ben's bedroom, I jump on his bed and wake him up. "GOOD MORNING BENJAMIN HOW'D YOU SLEEP BRO?" I lay down next to him and he groans and rolls over. I pick him up and set him down on his feet on the floor which was a little cold.
