(Brogan)

I eventually left Lulu's and I called Nic. "Ah, finally, my baby called!" Nic said excitedly, I smiled widely and sat at a stop light and put my headphones in so I wouldn't have to hold the phone. "So, I have a question." I said and drove off when the light turned green. "Yes?" "Sam is single right?" I asked, I heard a shuffling around and a 'hmf.' "Yeah, why? Breaking up with me already?" He asked, his voice small and quiet. "No, no. I met this girl and we hung out and she's like hella goofy. And I was like 'yo, my man has a band mate who's hella goofy too, imma try and get his number or something for you.' So, tell him that I think I found him someone. Her name is Lulu, by the way."

I heard him let out a sigh of relief. "Oh, thank god! Yeah, I'll tell him." "I love you, baby." "I love you more." He said and I huffed. "Fine, fine." I said and pulled into the driveway. "So, Tia is out of the picture completely. Also, Tony and I made up, so, we're cool." I said and grabbed my things and the keys. I got out of the car and closed the door. "Damn, why did she leave?" "Honestly, I don't know," I said as I walked inside, "I personally don't care." I walked into the kitchen and put the keys on the counter. I took my headphones off and unplugged them from my phone and put it to my ear. "How's Mike taking it?" "He hasn't talked about it, not to me at least."

I went upstairs and stood in front of my door. "Well, I wish him luck." He said, I smiled softly and nodded. "Yeah, he'll need it." I said jokingly and walked into my room and kicked off my shoes. I looked at my bed and saw Tyler, my jaw dropped. "Babe, I have to call you back." "You okay?" He asked worriedly. "Yeah! I'm great, just, I have company and I want to talk with him. I'll call you back, promise. Love you, bye!" I said quickly. He said he loved me and hung up. "TYLER!" I screamed and he stood up, I ran over to him and hugged him tightly. "I missed you!" I said and teared up.

"I missed you more, sweetie. More than you'll ever know." He said and he wrapped his arms around me. I buried my face in his chest and started to cry. Tyler rubbed my backed. "No crying, Brogan." He said softly, I shook my head. "I-I just missed you so-so fucking much." I cried, he picked me up and held me tightly and sat back down on my bed.

Tyler just held Brogan and tried to calm her down, Mike and Tony peeked into the room. "I'm glad he came back.." Mike said quietly to Tony, he nodded. "Yeah." He said softly and watched them. Brogan managed to calm down. "W-Where have you been?" She hiccuped, Tyler played with her hair and sighed softly. "The hospital, rehab, just..just a lot of places." He said softly, Brogan looked up at him. He looked like he hadn't slept in weeks. "Jaclyn came back, didn't she?" She asked getting up. He cringed when he heard her name. "Don't say her name." He said, Brogan shot him a look. "You need to talk about it." She said and sat next to him. "I do not!" He said loudly.

Brogan flinched, Tyler sighed softly. "Sorry, I didn't mean to scare you." He said and rubbed his face. She nodded and laid back. "But yes, she came back." He said, she nodded. "Why? How does she always know where you are?" "I don't know... I'd wish she would just leave me alone!" He said on the verge of tears. "It's too much, Brogan.. It's too damn much." He muttered softly, she sat up and hugged him. "Listen, I'll ask my dad if you can stay here, so you can clear your head and shit. Does she have your number?" She asked, he nodded shamefully. "Yeah... She bullied me into giving it to her." He admitted, embarrassed, he covered his face.

Brogan stood up, "I'll be back, okay?" He nodded and she left the room and went downstairs. She saw her dad and Tony talking, she looked at them as they were in a deep conversation. "Dad?" She asked, he looked at her. "Yes, cupcake?" "Cupcake?" She laughed and he smiled. "I was wondering if Tyler could stay with us?" She asked, Mike glanced at Tony. "Um, sure he can. Does he need clothes and shit like that?" "No clue." She said and Mike nodded. "Well talk to tim for me." "Will do."

I glanced at Tony when Brogan went back upstairs. "Anyway, we need to get you a new girl." I said, he nodded and rolled his eyes. "Same with you!" He laughed, I shook my head. "Whatever, my luck is fuckin' dog shit." I said and he shrugged. "Not my problem." "I know, never said it was, Tony." I said and I heard Tyler and Brogan talking. "Is he okay?" Tony asked, I shrugged. "I dunno. Probably not." I said, he nodded and I stood up. "I'm gonna head up to bed. Night." I said and headed towards the stairs.

"Night." Tony muttered and I went into my room and closed the door, I stripped to my boxers and got into bed. I sighed and looked at the clock. "I'm gonna have Mike try and get your number changed, this shit is just too much for you and you don't deserve it!" Brogan said. Silence. "I know." "You're so much better than this, Ty. I don't want you hurt...or worse. You're my everything. You mean so much to me and I can't risk losing you.." She said, I felt bad. I sat up and they continued their conversation. "Go to bed, Ty." "Fine." He said and I heard her door open. "Where you going?" She asked, Tyler chuckled.

"To sleep on the couch?" "No, take my room, I'll sleep on the couch." She said, I got up and opened the door, Brogan and Tyler looked at me. "She'll stand firm on what she said, we both know, now, you need to get to bed." I said to Tyler, he nodded and went into her room and closed the door behind him. "Come here," I said, Brogan walked over to me and I hugged her. "I'm proud of you." I said, she looked up at me confused. "For?" "Letting Tyler sleep in your room and being so helpful and shit." I said and pulled away. She shrugged. "Wanna sleep in my room?" I asked, she nodded. "Sure, but, I might call Nic back." "Ugh, fine." I said and she walked into my room and plopped on the bed, I turned on Family Guy and got into bed.

"If you're gonna watch TV, I won't call him." She said, I shook my head. "I've seen this at least 100 times. I'm just trying to kill time, honestly." I said, she nodded and got her phone out and called her boyfriend. I watched TV and started to think. I rubbed my face and glanced at Brogan who was blushing and giggling. I smiled, I'm glad she found someone who treats her right, after all the hell she's been through, she deserves to be treated like an angel. "Nic! Why did you do all that?" She asked, I looked at her confused. She huffed and told him he loved him and good night.

"What happened?" I asked, she looked at me. "Nic bought be makeup from Sephora. Which, I wouldn't care if he bought it from CVS or Target, shit! Even if it was from Dollar Tree, I wouldn't care. But, he went to Sephora." She said, I chuckled and rolled my eyes. "Isn't your one month with him on Saturday?" I asked, she nodded. "No clue what to get him either." She said, I shrugged. "I dunno. What does he like?" I asked and she listed what he liked. I told her what to get him and she nodded. She laid down and curled up, I looked at her and smiled softly. I put the duvet over her and I grabbed the sheet and covered up. I held her and watched TV, I slowly dozed off and fell asleep.
