Brooklyn

Carl | ten

(It's the next day btw)

I was in my bedroom, listening to music, obviously laying on my bed.

Olivia leaned on my bedroom door frame, "Heard you slapped Carl."

I took out an ear phone and paused my music,"Yeah? Where did you hear that?"

She took a step towards me,"From Carl."

I laughed,"Of course you did. Okay, so what? I slapped him, it's none of your business. Get out of my room... Now."

"Listen here, Brooke, I know you have a huge crush on Carl.. Why do you think I started dating him? I know you want him all to yourself, but he's mine. So back off yeah?" Olivia glared at me, her arms crossed over her chest.

I took out my other ear phone and placed my phone next to me,"You only dated him so I would get hurt? W-what have I ever done to you?"

"Nothing. Perfect Brooklyn could never do anything wrong!" She mocked, rolling her eyes at me,"I'm always sick and tired of everyone calling you perfect, you are no where near perfect."

I stood up and raised an eyebrow,"Okay.. Well, can you go try and hurt me somewhere else? I'm done with this conversation."

She shook her head and started to close my door,"Brooklyn, stop thinking your life will end up like a movie, trust me honey.. It won't." She left it half open and I heard her footsteps go down to the stairs.

I quickly ran and shut my door, locking it in the process. I slide down my wall and brought my knees up to my chest, wrapping my arms around them. I sighed, laying my chin on my knees.

why did she have to do this? She knew I liked him, she knew I've had a crush on him since we were eight..
I felt a drop of water fall down my cheeks. Confused, I looked up at the roof wondering it there was a leak. I shook my head and got up, sitting at my makeup table, looking myself in the mirror.
I'm crying? What the-

"Hey, Brooke? You in there." A quiet soft voice spoke,"I- uh, need to talk to you.."

I wiped my eyes and took a deep breath before walking over and opening my door,"Yes what do you- Carl? What do you want?"

He took a step into my room and closed the door behind him, "I want to apologize. I'm sorry for putting you in danger all the time, I'm so sorry for any pain I have caused you throughout the years and I'm so sorry for anything that made you think I didn't love you. I love you so so much.. There isn't anyone else above you."

Those few words made my heart flutter and an explosion erupt in my stomach,"I love you too, but Olivia wouldn't want you seen with me.. You should go. I don't want to cause anoth-"

I was cut off by Carl's lips pressing in to mine.
Initially, I had no idea what to do. I stood there frozen in shock as I processed what was happening.
After a few blurred seconds, I started to realize that I was in the middle of a kiss and a pretty damn good one.
His hands traveled to my face where he cupped it, forcing my lips hard against his.
Without second thought, I returned the favour and took his face into my hands, fingers tracing along his jaw.
It was then he brushed his fingers down my torso to my waist, pulling me right up against him.
I knew I shouldn't have been doing this but it felt so right.
Before things could escalate, I removed my hands from him which cued him to pull away.
Slowly his lips dragged off mine and he locked eyes with me.
I sputtered for words, unknowing of what to say. He looked down at his feet, laughing nervously, "I-I'm sorry I just- I needed to do that.." Carl spoke, slowly looking up and into my eyes.
I felt my face instantly heat up, I probably looked like a tomato,"It's okay.. What about Olivia?"

"Ask her." he placed a gentle kiss onto my forehead before heading out of my bedroom door.

"I can't believe that just happened.. As cheesy as it sounds, that was the best first kiss ever."
