Loving The Right Beckham

Gossip Girl

I woke up instantly after feeling a firm kick, i looked behind me and of course it was Joey.
"Headass"
I whispered to myself and made sure i didn't wake anyone. Underneath me was Cruz. I dont even remember falling asleep on him but cuddles dont bother me.
I got up and sat on the seats near the island that was in Joey's kitchen. Of course my phone buzzed when i wanted to have quiet time.
It was a text from Layla...LAYLA!! I forgot her at the house....i mean she did sleep in.
L- we were closer than best friends , you were the miss to my mister, the light to my fixture, you were the frame to my picture....-
I smiled at the text till i read it two more times and noticed that she said 'were' instead of 'are'.
I grabbed my clothes and didn't bother changing out of Joey's shorts and shirt.
I opened the door and ran out of the house forgetting the stairs and tumbling down, hitting each step.
The boys came running with baseball bats and looked down the stairs
"Brooke!? What the heck happened"
I looked at Cruz who was making his way down the stairs but i got up and ran, i couldn't have them stop me from checking on Layla.
I pushed open the gates and made my way out of Joey's neighborhood, behind me i heard footsteps so it was clear that they all were running after me. So of course i had to close the gates behind me so they would be delayed a few seconds.
I almost thought i was lost till i saw Brooklyn's car and ran into my house.
"Layla!!! Layla!! Layla Brown??!"
She didn't answer my screams, i was beginning to think that she left, then i realized that i didn't check my room
I sighed and made my way up, the weight on my shoulders were lifted since i believed that she would be in here.
The door was alreadt opened so I walked in and saw no one, it looked like she cleaned the whole room.
She only cleans when she's leaving so that was a huge panic.
I flopped down on my bed forgetting about my fall and causing my back to ache a bit more

I clearly need to apologize to Joey for making his white shirt bloody but i wasn't in the mood for sorrys. I just layed in silence as the blood from my knees dripped down slowly.
"I remember last year when i told you I would always stay here and never leave you"
I spoke as if she was right there next to me. I have never felt this bad since i accidentally closed the doors on my brothers fingers when he read my diary.
The boys heavy footsteps could be heard from miles away so I knew that they were already here.
I sat up and looked all of them in the eye when they walked into the room.
"Whats up?"
I asked with raised brows as all of them looked at me
"Whats up? Whats up!? You're bleeding and ran away from us when we tried to help thats whats up!!!"
Cruz shouted, making my eardrums feel as if they would burst any second now.
"You can't just scream without asking her why she ran dude, be a little sensitive she's bleeding for fuck sake"
Joey said looking at Cruz who crossed his arms
Joey and I shared a few glances before looking at Cruz who stayed silent
Joey cleared his throat and kept his gaze on me, i looked at him and shrugged. He cleared his throat one more time and they both  looked at me
"I'm not going to tell you guys anything, I'll deal with it myself"
I looked at them individually before grabbing my grey high waisted shirt and black over-sized nirvana shirt. I opened the bathroom door.
"is it okay if I keep your clothes?"
I looked back at Joey and waited till he nodded before going in and locking the door.
I haven't heard my door close yet so knowing that they are still in my room was awkward.
I washed my knees in the shower which was torture since the soup stung.

A couple minutes later i decided to get out the shower and brush my teeth before putting on my skirt and shirt.
My hair was very wet and uncomfortable but i managed to ignore it.
I turned my phone on and looked at the time, it was 9:39am so i still had time to fix myself up mentally so thats a relief.
I put the bloody clothes in my basket and looked at myself in the mirror, didn't even realize i had a scar on my chin.
I took a deep breath and got a message before i could open the door.
Me being me, i responded i looked at the text first duh.
It was from Brooklyn, I miss seeing him so it was a good feeling.
Buster- 'come over asap'
I turned my phone off and walked out of the bathroom to see the boys sitting on my bed and smiled.
I looked at the door to make sure it wasnt closed, good thing it wasn't.

Before the boys got up i ran out of my room and jumped down the stairs so i could skip some steps and ran out of my house, making sure to close the front door and ran to Brooklyn's house.
The boys walked out and saw me. I rang the doorbell about ten times and ran inside before the boys had time to make it to me.
"What was that about?"
Brooklyn looked out the window and walked towards me
"Oh i just want the boys out of my business, thats all"
I was panting a bit heavily since it was the second time i had to run fast, -onision bolt who??-
Brooklyn nodded and i felt a tap on my shoulder.
I turned to see Layla.
She looked me up and down, wide eyed she looked at me and raised her brow
"You sent me a messsage, i thought i upset you and i didn't want to lose you as s friend!!"
I said keeping my voice down incase the boys we're listenin.

"What message!? I spent the whole day with Brooklyn and Fortune, and my phones at the house"
She hugged me and laughed. It didn't make sense.
My phone buzzed again and i looked at it

'Remember last year when you told me, these will be lifelong stories? The light from your eyes made it feel like we were dancing in the moonlight'

I turned it off and put it in my pocket. It buzzed one more time so i quickly looked at it again

'Gossip girl..'
'I thought you were real to me but you're just plastic, ha'
'I totally saw him last week....'

I powered off my phone this time and put it back in my pocket.
Layla opened the door for the boys and Cruz looked furious than ever, i ignored him and looked at Joey who was looking at Cruz.
"Wheres Romeo?"
Layla shouted, looking at Cruz.
He shrugged his shoulder and kept looking at me.
Romeo.....
Of course

Layla came up to me and spoke quietly into my ear
"Not trying to point any fingers but i heard the whispers"
She looked at me and hugged me tightly
Today isnt making sense.
The confusion made me forget about the pain on my knees, elbows, and chin.
'Gossip girl?'
I thought to myself and stared at my phone, trying my best to not turn it on again.
