Kirsten's POV
"THEY KILLED YOUR PARENTS!" Becker yelled.
"Wait, WHAT!?"
My mind raced around those words. I just sat there in shock, I couldn't even cry. My mouth was wide open and my brain was screaming, but the sound couldn't exit. I could faintly hear arguing going on in the background.
"Becker!!! What the fuck is your problem! You don't just blurt that shit out! You heartless bastard!"
"You didn't have the guts to say it! I may be heartless but at least I'm a man!"
"Dude shut the fuck up! You’re just upset because Hazel dumped you for Stefan! But you don't have to take it out on a girl we just met and are going to have to live with for a while!"
At that point I snapped out of my trance.
"Whoah Whoah Whoah! Reverse that last statement! I'm going to have to live with you guys."
"Well ya. You can't go home, to your house or your aunts. Stefan is probably waiting for you there. So we are all going to get an apartment and stay there until things chill out."
" No! You can't just hold me captive! I don't want to move again! I just want to go home!"
Now tears started to fall down my cheeks
" I know, but you aren't safe there. I'm so sorry."
He reached forward and held me in his arms. I leaned into him and started bawling. I heard gawking from the corner but ignored him and continued to cry.
Since I'm going to be stuck with these two, at least one of them is sensitive.
~***~ (A/N THAT MEANS A PORTION OF TIME HAS PASSED)
Becker has been sitting in the corner sulking for 20 minutes. If anyone should be sulking it’s me! But I just can’t. I can’t cry, can’t be mad, can’t even sulk. All I can do is be in shock. I don’t think it has hit me yet that I will never see my family again. Not only that but I am stuck here with a jerk like Becker.
As my mind wanders around my experiences with my so called “protectors”, I t realized, I don’t even know these guys, and I’m going to have to live with them.
“Hey Becker? Could I talk to you for a second?”
He released a long sigh and replied, “About what”
“I just wanted to apologize, I realize we got off to a bad start and I just want to start over.”
Expecting the sweet movie response, you’re so right I’m sorry too, I was surprised when I heard, “ya well you should be. I don’t get along well with ungrateful little bitches.”
“Excuse you! Look I don’t know what your problem is but I didn’t do anything to you!”
“Are you kidding me!?! It’s your fault Hazel broke up with me. Instead of being with her I had to watch you every night!””
“IT’S NOT MY FAULT! I didn’t know the mob was after my family! Stop blaming me for your girlfriend not wanting your sorry ass!” I screamed at him, so angry right now.
He just sat there, his eyes wide open. “You’re just- just a-“
“NO! Shut up and stop trying to insult me. I’ve been through enough right now. You’re just a loser with a broken heart who thinks its ok to hurt other people! Now go cry in your little corner and leave me alone!!!”
He stood up and stomped into the bathroom.
I should feel bad, but I feel… powerful
Brooke’s POV
So are we going to lunch tomorrow or what?
Ya I think so, I just gotta get back on my parent’s good side… :P
So they are really mad at you
Ya… I made a hissy fit about moving lol
Haha well I have to go. Hope to see you tomorrow J
Right back at cha
Greyson and I have been talking for about 5 hours straight. He invited me to lunch with him and a few other people so I can make some friends. This guy is sooo sweet.
But now I have to face the rentals. Damn…
“hey mom, dad? Can I talk to you guys?”
“sure honey.” My mom says
“ I’m really sorry for my attitude today. I love you guys.”
“ok, what do you want?” my dad asks.
“What? What makes you think I want something?”
“Brooke.” He says staring me down.
“fine… I wanna go to lunch with this guy I met today and a few other people. Pleeeeaseee it will help me make friends!”
After a long pause I got permission and I skipped back into my room.
~***~
I wake up with a huge smile on my face. It is 11 and I have to be downtown at 12. I start getting ready. I try on my whole closet trying to find the perfect outfit. Then I do my hair and makeup. Its 1145 and I gotta get going. As I am about to step out the door I hear my name being yelled… angrily
“BROOOOKE!!!!”
“yes daddy?”
“what did you do to your room!”
I peek my head around the corner of my room and it looks like a bomb went off
“oops?”
“ya oops is right! You cant leave until this room is clean!”
“but daddy!!! I have to go!”
“NOT UNTIL THIS ROOM IS SPOTLESS!”
What am I gonna do, if I leave now I will just barely make it. Then, and evil thought crossed my mind, im gonna sneak out.
I shut the door and slid out my window. I quickly hopped in the car and drove, not looking back.
I should feel bad, but I feel… powerful
