5SOS~ Jet Black Heart

Brooklyn~

"Come on..." Peyton looks at me and Tristan, shocked and I could even spot the slight anger in her voice. "You're telling me that Tristan's enemies did this to me!? This is total bullshit..." She turns to me. "How long have you known and didn't want to tell me this Brooklyn!?" 

"Only a day, I promise. It was to pro--" 

"Don't you fucking tell me that it was to protect me!" She points her finger at me. "Or I'll fucking scream at you for eternity." 

"Nice way of putting it.." I say, surprised. 

"Peyton, I swear this wont happen to you again." Tristan speaks. "I'm going to get back at these guys, and you wont be involved again, it's just that they were trying to get more of my attention, they have. So you'll be fine." 

"It doesn't always work like that you asshole!" Peyton shouts. "I even know that shit, no enemy or bad guy backs off from a person they were playing with!" 

Daymmmm, I've never seen Peyton this angry, and I've known her my whole life, its saying something... 

"What about we all calm down?" I ask her. 

"Calm down?" She turns to face me, and I was even scared of her right now... I was freaking scared of a reporter... 

"Okay, look. You don't have to be angry at Brooklyn, she was pulled into this too.." Tristan says. 

"And look what that got us in... Tristan!" Peyton shouts at him and I jump in shock. "You know what!?" Peyton steps over to him and glares at him. "Stay away from me and my sister from now on! If I see you in my sight, or I see you with Brooklyn again, I'll come and hunt you down myself!" She cries. 

Tristan's eyes widen in shock, and he's not the only one, who was this girl in front of me!? She was pulling us apart?? 

"Pey.." I push her slightly away from him. "What the hell are you doing!?" 

"OUT!" She shouts towards Tristan. 

"I'm going.." He throws his hands up in surrender and he walks off. 

"Tristan!" I shout.. but he's out. 

I turn back to my sister, whose looking like she's about to explode. "What the hell was that about...?" I ask, almost whispering. 

"Tristan is bringing danger into your life, as well as mine. You're better off." She walks away from me. 

"Don't you turn your back on me!" I shout, pulling her back. 

She glares at me, throwing my hand off her. "What's with you Brooklyn? You're protecting him!" 

"Because I love him! And you just sent him out... out of my life, he's the kind of person who listens to people Peyton! He'll not come back, he'll believe that he's bad for me.." I say, a tear sliding down my cheek. 

"Your better off." She states again. 

"No... I'm not Peyton." I say quietly. "He's been everything to me.. he changed my life completely.. he changed me into a way much better person. I was nothing but a swimming star, I left college and was swimming every night... for years." More tears were coming down now..

"You were never a bad person!" 

"Where were you when mother died Pey!?" I say with anger. "Where were you when I was kidnapped!?" I shout.

She doesn't answer and I nod. "I thought so... you were.. 'working'.. yeah, your job is everything to you, well guess what? ... Tristan is everything to me, he's been there for me since the first night I saw him... that's one thing that I love about him." I whisper.
