Chap 7

I closed the door after Tristan left and collapsed into a heap on the floor. I started to lightly bang my head against the door and gave a yelp when, to my surprise, the door flings open and I topple over.

“What the hell Broo…” Zach started but finished as soon as he saw the tear’s rolling down the side of my face. ‘Huh’ I said mentally to myself ‘How did those get there?’ “Brook what happened?” he asked his face softening. Zach and I are very close and always have been since Dad work’s abroad all the time and Mum’s never home but there are some thing that a girl can’t tell her older Brother and this is one of those times!

Mom was standing in the door way behind him holding art supplies. I spotted next week’s door colour. No way in hell am I living in a house with a Hot Pink Door!!!Zach looks at me then goes into the kitchen to cook dinner. I have always wondered if his band mates knew that he could cook, or does cook, every night! “Brook, My God, What happened? Are you okay?” My mum had dropped everything on the couch in the room to my right and had ran back out and was now sitting next to me on the floor. I was stunned. I can’t tell her that I’ve just found my soul mate, how mad would that sound? “Em…Yeah… I guess, I ….err…err Fainted. I haven’t eaten anything, and it’s hot outside. Maybe that’s why I fainted. Wow I feel like a nice, cold glass of milk! Anyone want a glass of milk?!?” I shut myself up. I was no good at lying while in shock!

“I’m going to bed” I sighed and headed up to my room but back tracked. “Em, actually can I go over to Cassie’s for a while?” My family looked slightly confused but after seeing my distressed face mom drove me over. I needed a good cry and my best friend.

“Wow!” Cassie said after seeing my puffy red eye’s and my red running nose. “Global Warming isn’t gonna kill us yet but your tear’s aren’t helping the rising water level’s!” That’s my Cassie always making jokes and somehow she always seems to make me feel better! 

I begin to laugh but somehow end up on the floor crying my eye’s out. “Shhh” Cassie’s say’s while hugging me tight. “What’s happened?” I knew that I could trust Cassie so I filled her in on everything that happened after school. “Oh my God” Cassie whispered “Are you alright?” “No” I whimpered don’t think I’ll ever be right again. “What will I do now?” I groaned but regretted it because of the sharp pain in my throat. “Keep seeing him” Cassie said back. I had my face in my hands but jumped as she said this and let my hands fall slowly from my red, disfigured face. “Do you love him?” I thought about Cassie’s question when she went to get some drinks from her kitchen.

 I took out my phone and stared at it. After, What seemed like a millennia, I pulled up Tristan’s number and typed ‘1 4 3.’ A few seconds after I sent it he text back. Cassie came back to find me clutching my phone to my chest. She hugged me hard and saw the message that Tristan had sent me. “ I love you too, Brook. Until your taken from me then all over again.”
