Breakaway

Chapter 3

“You not only fractured a bone in your ankle but you tore a ligament. I honestly don’t see you being able to play hockey ever again. I’m sorry Brooke.” My doctor put his head down. “You can get physical therapy and things like that but the chances of you making it back to the state you were in is almost impossible.  Anymore questions give me a call.”

He walked out leaving me there heartbroken. I felt tears come down my face. My dream had been shattered right there. I got to go home later that night. Having a cast on with crutches wasn’t the most comfortable thing ever.

“Brooke! You have a visitor.” My mom screamed up to my room.

At the time I was talking to Baylor on Xbox. I finally decided to add him on Facebook. I was telling how my boyfriend, Cody, cheated on me.

“Hey.” Cody sat down on my bed. I just looked at him. I already cried enough over him. Why should I cry over somebody who cheated on me?

“What do you want?” I brushed him off.

“I just wanted to say I’m sorry about what happened. I was there and it looked like it hurt.”

“No, really? You didn’t see anything. You were too busy making-out with another girl.” I started to raise my voice.

“Look. I’m sorry Taylor.”

“Taylor? Do you even care? Just leave and never come back. I don’t want to see you anymore.” I was yelling. I felt the tears come down my face. It still hurts.

“Wait. Baby please, if there is anything I can do to make it up to you I will. Please don’t go. I’m sorry. I love you Brooke.” Cody’s eyes filled with tears. I could see the guilt on his face but I knew in my heart I could never take him back. Trust him the same or love him the same.

“I really hope you find a girl worth your love. Goodbye Cody.” He looked at me and shook his head.

“I hope you find a really hope one day you find a really good guy who is faithful and will treat you right. I love you Brooke. Goodbye.” Cody walked out.

I put my mic back on to see if Baylor was still there. “Hello?”

“Dang! What was all that yelling?” he asked.

“Sorry. I just broke up with my boyfriend Cody and yeah. I found out he was cheating on me.”

“Oh. Sorry to hear about that.” Baylor didn’t really sound that sorry.

Over the next year Baylor and I became best friends. I loved him just like he loved me. He was an amazing boyfriend.

Now I am 17 and he is 18. It was late December. I never told my parent about Baylor. I didn’t want to take a chance of losing him. If it wasn’t for him I wouldn’t be me. He was my first true love. The only catch was he lived very far away and we never met. We skyped ever possible day we could.

I could tell my parents in less than a year. I’ll be 18 and they can’t stop me. Me, my mom, and step dad are very close I just don’t think they would react to it. It has been quite rough around the house though. I haven’t skated since my accident. It’s hurts to even walk sometimes.

I was on Christmas break so I didn’t have school. Snow was piled up everywhere outside. I could have just sat by the fireplace all day and listen to music but my aunt, uncle, and cousin was coming in for Christmas like always. I had to clean the house.

It was around noon when I gave Baylor a call. My parents were both working. He didn’t answer my Skype call or any of my Facebook messages. I even tried to iMessage him. No answer. He has been acting so weird lately. Ignoring my messages and phone calls. I just don’t know what I did wrong.

Maybe he is studying or at hockey practice or something. I cleaned the whole house before he even replied. I finally felt my phone vibrate from my back pocket. It wasn’t Baylor. It was Beaux telling me he was that him and his family was leaving their home.

I let out a scream. Fiasco and Outlaw both looked up at me startled. “Where is he?”

I finally decided to lay down on the couch and get some rest. I’m just worrying too much. I trust him not to be cheating on me. That happened once in my life. I don’t need it to happen again. When I started to fall asleep I finally got a call.

“Hello?” I answered in my really sleepy voice.

“Hey, Brooke. Sorry I’ve been really busy.” It was Baylor and he really didn’t sound the same.

“It’s all good. Something wrong?” I asked.

“No. You okay?”

“Yeah I’m fine.” I lied through my teeth.

“Okay. That’s good. I have to go now. I love you. See you soon.” He didn’t even wait for me to tell him that I loved him too. He just hung up. I felt tears come down out of my eyes. Outlaw came over and gave me a nudge. He always did that when I cried.

This is no way to spend my Christmas eve. I was so upset through the whole holiday. He never called. The only thing I got from him was a text Christmas morning telling me “Merry Christmas. Love you baby girl.”

I finally stopped trying to contact him. My family left the day after Christmas. Beaux and I talked about the situation. He actually understood everything. I was surprised. I decided to hang on a little longer hoping I would get my old boyfriend back. The caring and loving Baylor I know so well.

A day after Christmas everything was back to normal. The house was empty and my parents were back to work. Kelli called me and asked if I could drive her to the airport and pick up her sister who was flying back from Christmas vacation. There was too much snow for her little car to make it through.

I had nothing better to do and I am always up to helping a friend in need. I know she would do it for me if I asked and Kelli is more than a friend to me. I would have taking my step dads truck to the airport but he had taken it to work. I was stuck with my Mustang I guess.

I quickly looked in the mirror. I was wearing dark skinny jeans, some Adidas high-tops, a casual but cute red shirt, and a black North Face. My long brown hair was perfectly straight and I didn’t have make-up on showing my naturally clear skin. I’m sure Kelli and her sister wouldn’t mind.

I had to drive super slow because the roads were untouched and super icy. I was hoping and praying I would make it home all in one piece.
