Chapter 28

*Brook's POV*

It's almost 5:30 and she promised to come at 5. She even said that she'll be here before I knew it.

Its probably another 'relationship issues' I guess.

I'm guessing if she's not coming over, I just have to go there myself.

I packed my stuff and went downstairs. I called her to make sure she was home, but her parents answered the phone instead of her.

"Hello?" A women voice asked who I assumed is her mom.

I cleared my throat "yea hello..is Erika home?" I asked.

"Yes..she's just taking a nap. I don't know what happened to her. When I came back home, her eyes and her cheeks were red, like she had cried. I asked her what happened but she said nothing" she explained.

"Is it ok if I come over? Plus..we have an assignment to do"

"Yes...please come. I think she just need someone to talk to"

"Great..I'll be there in a minute"I said and hung up.

Dad gave me a ride to Erika's house. I stood on her doorway and rang the doorbell twice. I run my fingers through my hair and waited for them.

"Heyy..Brook?" They asked, opening the door widely indicating for me to come in.

"Yup.. That's me" I smiled and stepped inside.

"She's upstairs, sleeping" her mum pointed to the room that's right next to the stair.

"Can I see her?" I asked looking around the room.

"Yes..just go up and turn left" she smiled.

"Thank you..." I grabbed my bag and headed upstairs.

I opened the door slowly, revealing Erika on the bed. As I step inside I realized she was awake.

Slowly I closed the door behind me and sat down next to her bed.

"Hey.." I greeted and looked at her. She was crying. Her eyes were red.

"Brook.."she said in a low,weak voice.

"You okey?" I looked at her.

She nodes "mhmm"

"Relationship issues?" I joked.

She giggled and started to smile "thanks for understanding my situation" she sat up.

"No worries" I looked around the room "what actually happened?"

"He played me" she said slowly and tears started to form.

"Who?....Zach?" I asked holding her hand.

She nodded.

"Its ok..I'll punch that dirt bag and make him realize who he messed with" I said showing her my fist.

"Just let him be...plus I don't know the whole story. Jack could be lying or he could be true" she said looking out of the window.

There was a knock on the door, revealing Josh, Jane, Camilla and Connor behind them.

"Where the fuck is that asshole!" Josh came bursting in.

I was shock and so was Erika.

*Erika's POV*

I was shocked by the loud bang on the door made by Josh.

He was my childhood friend and I know that I can rely on him. He was always there for me when I needs him.
