Brooklyn's POV

I ended up having 6th with Grayson and 7th with Ethan and Grayson.

Finally school was over and I went to the bus, going to my usual seat and sitting down, getting out my book.

I am the last person off anyways so I have time to read.

But then. Ethan sits next to me, Grayson in the seat next to us.

"Your reading again" Ethan whined.

I looked up at him confused.

"You could be talking and having fun with Gray and I" He said smiling a little when we made eye contact.

"Uh.. I.. no thank you" I said and looked back down to my book.

"When do we get off anyways?" Ethan asked, ignoring my reply.

"Last" I replied and he groans.

He takes out his phone, along with Grayson and they both slumped down the same.

I continued reading and Ethan was doing whatever on his phone.

Finally, we got to the last stop and the three of us got off the bus.

I put my book into my bag and start my short walk down the road.

"Hey. wait." I hear Ethan yell as he ran after me.

I stopped and turned around.

"Do you maybe want to hang out with Gray and I sometime?" He asked and I looked down.

I thought about it.

"I-I um, I think.. Um I.." I tried to tell him no but I don't want to be rude about it.

"No thank you" I tell him and look down as I turned around.

"Why Not?" He asked me and I turned around.

"You don't want to be friends with me" I said calmly and I turned around and walked down the street to my house.

Them going the other direction around the river, well across the bridge thing.

I get to my house and put my stuff in my room.

James is at work now..

I go outside and down the hill, to the river spot and sit down.

Why did I turn down being their friend?

I wanted to so badly.

I hate myself for that.

I want a friend. And the fact that two people were asking to be my friend, two people who don't know about the accident. Two people who don't know anything about me. And I turn them down sucks.

I feel tears coming to my eyes.

That stupid accident ruined my life.

It took her away from me..

I can't even be myself anymore.

I can't even be happy anymore.

I can't even do anything without thinking about her.

I pull my knees to my chest and stare at the water close to me.

Tears cascade down my cheeks, many of them falling into the water.

I miss her.

A lot.

I stand up after a while of just sitting there and make my way up the hill and inside the house.

Next Day

I had gotten ready for school and made my way downstairs.

"Brooklyn eat some breakfast. Please" James said 

I grab a banana and show him it and then walk out of the house.

I make my way down the road and open the banana.

I take a bite of it, and then decided I didn't want to eat today.

I throw the banana on the ground.

"What did that banana ever do to you?" I hear and look up to see Ethan.

"Uhm. I uhh." I tried to make words come out of my mouth but I didn't know what to say.

He laughs a little.

I look around.

"Where's your brother?" I asked him.

"Peeing" He replied chuckling a little.

Grayson runs up.

"See. Told you I wouldn't miss it" He said sticking his tongue out at Ethan and then smiles at me.

"Hey Brooklyn" He said and I give him a small fake smile back.

Its like every since the accident, I can't make myself smile for real..

Nothing has been able to make me happy.

The bus pulls up and I get on walking to my normal seat, them following and sitting in the same seats as yesterday.

I look at the two and they are both just smiling at me.

"You.. You uh know there are other seats" I said and Ethan looks at me with his eyebrows raised.

"You aren't getting rid of us that easily sweet cheeks" Ethan said and patted my cheek, making me genuinely laugh a little.
