Living with five guys

Chapter 4

Brooklyn's POV

As we were driving I looked at Caiden and asked, "what did Keaton do three years ago that he wouldn't want to repeat?" he sighed, "listen I wasn't supposed to say that, but that's not a story for me to tell. it's his."

I groaned and closed my eyes. when we got home I ran in to see Keaton sleeping on the coach, aww that's cute, but I needed answers.

"Keaton......keaton......KEATON WAKE THE HELL UP!!!" he finally sat up scared. when he saw it was me he slumped his shoulders and he rubbed his eyes.

"We need to talk. now." I said motioning for him to come outside. he shook his head and laid back down. fine. I can have a little fun with this. since he was shirtless, I took a big bucket and filled it with ice cold water.

"Oh, keaton, do you wanna get up now and talk to me?" I said as I dumped the water on him. he screamed and ran outside nodding like crazy. I laughed and threw the bucket at Jacob which he caught. "and Xander? do me and a favor and clean this mess up?" I asked nicely batting my eyelashes and running my finger down his chest. his eyes went wide. "u-uhh s-sure brookylnn." I smirked and walked outside.

Keaton sighed, I could tell he didn't wanna be out here right now but I needed answers.

"Listen brooke I'm sorry ok? don't hurt me.." he whispered. I giggled, "you think I'm going to hurt you? no I just wanna talk about this, I need to know everything." his eyes grew wide. "o-ok." I smiled, I've got his attention now.

"Number one, why do you hate me?"

"I dont.." I scoffed, "lies."

"Ok... I just don't enjoy having a female in this house right now because I'll go crazy I haven't been with any girl for over three years. That's why I did that, I didn't want to, but my hormones took over so I am soo sorry for that." I nodded, "next question."

"Since you had already mentioned it, what happened three years ago?"

"I won't tell that one yet.. that's too personal." I sighed and grabbed his hand, I ran my other hand across his cheek. I leaned in and kissed him on the cheek, and he relaxed a little.

"Keaton, it's ok, it was three years ago. you can let go of it and move on. you can tell me whenever you are ready, but move on from it ok? it's over with, I know it's probably sore if you think about it, but I'm here ok?" he nodded his eyes were welling up. I sighed and wiped the tears away. "don't cry, everything is ok. no matter what it is I'll stay and be here for you." he shook his head.

"No Mariah you have to stay away from me.. I don't wanna hurt you." mariah..?

"Uhh sweetie? my name isn't Mariah, it's Brooklynn." he looked up with wide eyes. "I'm sorry... Brooklynn you have to stay away from me." "why?" "cuz I'll hurt you.." with that he went upstairs. huh.. strange.

I sighed, defeated and went and sat on the counter. "what's up?" Jacob asked. "nothing... I gotta ask you something and you have to promise to tell me ok?" He nodded, "what is it?"

"What happened three years ago with Mariah and Keaton?" his eyes went wide and shook his head. "not fair brooke, I can't tell you that.. sorry." He walked away. great.

I walked upstairs and knocked on Keaton's door and opened it slowly. "can I come in please?" he sighed and mumbled sure. I smiled and sat next to him after closing the door behind me.

"You ok?" he shrugged and laid his head in my lap. I've never seen a boy so vulnerable before. I ran my fingers through his hair.

He looked up at me and said, "I guess you're not mad anymore?" I shook my head, how could I be mad at him? he's hurt and he needs me right now. "Good, cuz I like you." he mumbled very quietly and fell asleep. I smiled an kisses his head before getting up and walking downstairs to all the boys. "hiya boys." they nodded but stayed focus on their game. hmmm. lets have some fun. I walked in front of the tv, "MOVE BROOKE!" they all yelled. I tappe my chin. "how about.... no!" I turned around and unplugged their game. they all screamed.

"Shut up you idiots! Keaton's asleep!" he shrugged and surrounded me.. joy... I ran outside and started running around the block looking back at me every few minutes and they were catching up. I ran harder and saw a street coming up but saw no cars. I looked back at them stuck my tongue out at them and ran across the street when I saw headlights, luckily I got out of the way quickly. I panted and my eyes grew wide.

"I give up guys! what do you want?" I asked as we were walking back to the house after being caught. I was now over Xander's shoulder. they thought, "make us dinner." I huffed, "fine."

"Dinner you brats!" I yelled, strange Keaton was still asleep. "ill wake up Keaton" I said walking upstairs.

"Keaton.. sweetie.. it's time to wake up. dinner is done.." he groaned, "but I'm tired Mariah. and I'm too scared to get up." He said. who the hell is Mariah?! "who's mariah silly?" he shot up. "I'm sorry!!" "It's fine... come on." I pulled his hand but he pulled me back to him, and pulled my face to his and kissed me. small tingles shot up my back as he ran his hands up my back. what the hell? how could he make me feel this way?! it went a little further until I heard coughing behind us.

"Wow, so I come up to see what is taking so long and I see this. hahaha" I rolled my eyes and pushed past him. Keaton followed with his eyes low. I feel stupid.. I ate quickly and yelled, "you get dishes tonight!!" and sprinted upstairs to go to sleep.

'Monday morning'

"Get up sleepy head!! we have school!"

I groaned and threw a pillow. I didn't wanna go to school today. Brian would be there.. I sighed and got up pushing Garrett out of my room. Did I mention we all go to the same school?

After getting to school i saw Brian coming my way. "hey beautiful." he winked and grabbed my butt. I pushed hi away, "fuck off." "Ooohhh feisty I like it" I turned around and slapped him. "don't talk to me. ok?" I rolled my eyes and started to walk away. a crowd was forming. "I didn't tell you to leave, now did I princess?" he grabbed my wrist and pulled me back. I yelped with pain and tried to pull away. "let go of me, you make me sick." I spit on his face. he wiped it off, but bad mistake on my part.. he threw me up against the wall and slapped my face hard.

"Listen here you bitch, I'm done playing games, you're mine and I'm not letting you be with anyone else. got it?" I nodded my head quickly and ran to the bathroom. I can stand up for myself for only so long.

Why didn't anyone jump in and help me? I sighed and washed my face and dried my eyes. I straightened up and walked back out to my class. I stayed quiet the rest of the day. I was walking home when Brian pulled up next me in his camero. "hop in babe." I shook my head no, disgusted with him.

"I said, get in." "and I said no, now please leave me alone Brian, I'm not in the mood to talk to you." I stopped and faced him. "you slapped me, threw me up against a wall. I have bruises on my wrist from you, I bet I have bruises on my face now. this is how you treat women? some great man you are." I scoffed and started walking again. he got out of the car and grabbed my waist tightly. "let. me. go!" I yelled.

He pulled me back to his car but before I could say anything some guy came up and started beating the shit outta him. I looked to see it was Keaton. my eyes grew wide and he walked over to me slowly, afraid to make me scream, but instead I wrapped him in my arms. "thank you." I whispered into his chest. he tightened but soon loosened. "no problem. now come on, lets go home and get you cleaned up."

There was a new cut on my cheek from Brian punching me when I refused to go in his car. this will be a long week... I can already tell
