The lost princess

Chapter 24: Getting to know one another

Brooklyn's P.O.V

Steph, Heather, Carly and I are in Heathers and Matthews room. Yes, Carly too. She's really fun to have around. Heathers room is twice the size of mine. It's also separate from everyone else's. Heather told us that since it's the king and queen chambers it's supposed to be big.

Right now we are all massaging each others backs, trying to get rid of our soreness. It's been about 20 minutes since Jane and the guys left do go check something. Turns out in a few minutes you can learn a lot about a person. So far I've found out that Heather was born and raised in London, that's where her parents live. She decided to go to college here because she liked the music program. Oh yeah she also likes to sing. Well while she was at college she meet Matthew and well now she's here.

Heather just sang a little song for us and she's really good. "Damn girl. If I had a voice like that I'd never shut up" Steph told her.

"Trust me I'm not that good" Heather said. "I once went to California because they had a little summer camp thing to help you improve your voice. While I was there I meet this girl, Adriana, she was bearly nineteen and man she had a voice"

"Do you have a video of her or something?" Carly asked.

"Let me check" Gather said as she pulled out her phone and began scrolling. "This was like three years ago, so I might not...wow. I still have it"

"Let me see" Steph said. Heather faced the phone towards us and played the video. "Hey she has long black hair like you" Steph pointed out.

"Yeah but the girl looks Hispanic" Carly said. I looked at the phone and saw that the girl was standing in the middle of a studio. Music started playing and she started singing. She hit those high notes so easily I wouldn't be surprised if she could do it in her sleep. The girl stopped singing and looked towards the camera and smiled. Her eyes definitely stood out. They were a very light brown. She laughed and put her hand in front of her face. "Heather I told you not to record me" and with that the video ended.

Everything fell silent as we all sat there shocked. "That was...wow" I said, breaking the silence. "Do you still talk to her?"

"No, but I follow her on social media" Heather answered. She positioned the phone to were all of us could see it and began scrolling through her feed. We noticed that she doesn't really post anything so we clicked on one of her friends and began scrolling through her  feed. There was a picture of Adriana and some guy holding two separate trophies, with a soccer uniform. In the caption it said "My boo and girl just won both of their champion ships. Couldn't be more prouder"

"Soccer too?" Steph said surprised.

"Okay we need to stop stalking this girl" Carly told us.

"Your right" we all said nodding.

"So what about you Carly? Tell us about yourself" I said.

"Well I don't know if you guys noticed but Max is my mate"

"Max, like the guy who was training us today
Max?" Heather asked.

"Yup" she replied. The next 40 minutes continued like this. We each took turns talking about our lives. The only thing that was missing was Jane. She should be here with us.

"Hi mom" I said, walking into the kitchen. She was sitting by the island talking with Mary.

"Hello sweetie. Where are your friends?"

"Steph, Heather and Carly are up stairs, I just came to get something to drink" I explained.

"And everyone else?"

"I was hopping you could tell me" I said, looking at Mary. "When I asked they said that they needed to check on a few things"

"I wouldn't know darling. Every time I talk go that son of mine he only talks about him and Stephine" she replied.

"Your sons the blue eyed one, AJ right?" Mom said making sure she knew who he was.

"That's him" Mary told her.

"Where's dad?" I asked.

"In our room talking on the phone with Stephine's dad. He wanted to see how everything was going" Mom told me.

"But Steph talks to her parents every day"

"He might think that she probably doesn't tell him everything. You kids no a days only tell us half of the story" I playfully rolled my eyes as she said this. "I better go back upstairs, their waiting for me" I told Mom and Mary. They excused me and I walked back to Matthews and Heathers room.

I was almost there when I ran into Jane and...I don't actually know who the guy was, that was with her. "Hey Jane"

"Brooklyn. Hi" she said surprised.

I turned towards the guy and extended my hand. "I'm Brooklyn"

"Michael" he said shaking my hand. He then suddenly pulled away looked like as if he realized something. "Your highness" he said bowing.

"You don't have to do that" I told, while trying not to laugh.

"Brooklyn" Jane said, catching my attention "Michael is my mate"

"Oh my gosh. Really" Jane nodded. I embraced Jane in a hug. "I'm so happy for you"

"Thank you, but one thing" she said pulling away "you can't tell anyone. I wanna tell Heather, Steph and everyone else tommorow"

I nodded. "Who else knows?"

"Basically only the guys and you"

"Okay well I suppose I should leave you two, to whatever you were doing" I hugged Jane one more time and gave a friendly hug to Michael. "You better treat her right?" I whispered in his ear as I hugged him. I gave them small smile before continuing my journey back to Matthews and Heathers room.

"Do I have to go to training tommorow?" I whined as I got into bed.

Ethan chuckled. "Yes, you do"

"But I'm so tired and sore"

"You just have to get used to it"

I groaned and pulled the blankets up to my chest. After a while of just staring at the ceiling I sighed and turned on my side, so I was facing Ethan. He turned his head and looked at me. I started into his dark green eyes as he stared into mine. I reached out and touched his face. When he leaned into my touch I couldn't help but smile. He then put his hand over mine and kissed it, his eyes never leaving mine. "Brooklyn" he whispered.

"Yes?" He opened his mouth to say something, but nothing came out. He looked like he was contemplating something. "You should get some sleep. There still training in the morning" I groaned as he said this.

"You just had to ruin the moment" He laughed and pulled me closer to him so I was lying on his chest. He kissed my forehead and hugged me tighter. My eyes suddenly felt heavy as I tried to keep them open. Giving up I closed them and fell into a deep sleep.
