Brooklyn's POV
______________________________________
When the hell did Corey get here? Damn it. This is exactly why I wanted Trevor to leave earlier. I look at Corey and think of a way to explain the situation to him. He looks like he's about to explode.
"He... I... Fell while on my board and he helped me home. Cause I hurt myself on my board." I stutter. He looks at me like he doesn't believe me. And I lift my bangs to show him the cut on my head that I didn't clean up yet. Corey raises an eyebrow and I can see the gears in his mind turning.
"You promise me you guys didn't do anything stupid?
"I wouldn't lie to you, Corey." God, now I was starting to get a headache; ughh great. I was feeling lightheaded. Was it because of the cut on my head or because of the rush of emotions I was feeling right now?
Corey shakes his head while looking at the ground.
"Well, let's go get your head cleaned up. It wouldn't be good for it to get infected. But I have something for you in my car,'' he says with a smile. He runs back to his car and opens the backseat. He looks back at me, and then he pulls out a bouquet of tulips.
"I thought I should leave a good impression on your parents. And plus you deserve something just as beautiful as you."
I am speechless. I have only been called beautiful by my parents and even then they haven't liked the "phrase" I have been going through. My mom recently found out that I smoked and she tried to limit me from my "bad habits" but failed.
"Th-Thank You but you're crazy. I am not beautiful."
"No, you're just crazy not to see it."
We walk inside and he asks where my first aid kit is. I tell him it's in my bathroom upstairs. He has me sit on my kitchen counter because he doesn't walk me to walk up the stairs with the cut on my head. I sit and make faces at Yoda. Shortly after, Corey comes back down with the first aid kit in hand. I smile and he looks at me with concern.
"So I need to ask you something.."
I frown. "Sure what's up?"
"How did you fall off your board?" He starts to tend to my wound, and I grimace in pain when he puts the alcohol on it.
"I was on the phone with my best friend, Brandon." He looks at me with a questioning look.
"Corey, Brandon is gay."
"Good, I thought I was gonna fight off someone."
All I could think during all of this is, are my dark secrets gonna scare him away?
