"i was once lost.. but now, thanks to faith..
i had found my old self.. and i was forever grateful.
for.. i'd found myself in her."
[ Sequel to Lost ;; Rye Beaumont ]
I ended up in the old woodland id been coming to these last few months. Brooklyn was sat with his back to me on a fallen tree trunk, his head resting on his hands.
"brooklyn" i say softly from behind him. he doesn't move and just stays silent. i sigh and sit down beside him.
"brooklyn talk to me- hey why are you crying?!" i ask, moving to the ground so im kneeling in front of him.
"Rye i don't know whats wrong with me" he mumbles into his hands, still not looking at me.
"brooklyn, hey, look at me mate" I tell him. Brook hesitates but soon lifts his head, he looks a mess..
"im sorry for running off" he says sadly.
"its fine.. but youre not so whats wrong..? talk to me?" i sort of pleed. he nods.
"i just- Mia lost her dad, Faith her brother.. it's just bringing back memories from.. you know.. i miss my dad so much.. and now Mia, she's so young and i know what its like.. " he pauses, "Faith's dad, it's going to sound horrible, but its not fair. Its just not fair how some of the best people end up.. gone.. and the worst people seem to stay.. im not saying that he should have- you know.. instead of max, id never say anything like that. i just- do you get what i mean?" he sobs and just hug him tightly.
"i get what you mean.. horrible things happen to good people rather than to those who deserve it?" i question and he nods.
"like you with Amara.. you're a good person and she caused you shit"
"but if that hadn't of happened, i wouldn't have met faith" i tell him and he smiles lightly.
"im happy for you, you know that right? you both deserve each other. and thank you for bringing her, and Mia, into our lives" he smiles.
"brooklyn, this is just - i dont know.. but- do you like faith-"
"NO! no- i mean, yes i like her, but no not like that" he laughs, "Jeez Rye, stop worrying so much, shes like a sister to me"
"oh phew" i laugh and then pause.. "this is going to sound stupid but.. does Mikey?" brooklyns face hardens
"im not sure.. but he's been acting a bit weird hasn't he?" brooklyn admits.
"so im not the only one who's noticed.." i groan.
"Im sure its just a little crush if he does, the more he sees you both together.. it'll just pass" he shrugs and i nod.
"i sound like a right dick don't i" i ask and he laughs.
"You're just protective, and thats not a bad thing" he tells me and i smile.
"thanks brooklyn, are you sure you're okay?" i ask and he nods, wiping his face.
"Im good i guess.. its just hard you know..? knowing what someones going through.. and then remembering how you felt when.. it happened to you" he whispers.
"you're not okay are you.." i ask quietly and he shakes his head.
"and to make it worse.. I promised a five year old that she'd see her dad again soon.. the day he-" he gulps and looks down. i stare ahead not knowing what to say.
"its not your fault.." i tell him quietly.
"it just sucks, i just had to say it didn't i.. i should have thought about it more.. its the Army for god sakes.. anything could happen.."
"But you were just giving her hope.. and thats what everyone has to do.. loosing hope is probably the worst thing you could do in situations like that.." i say.
"false hope Rye.. i gave her false hope.. and thats the worst kind.. and i promised-" he sniffles and my heart drops.
"Brooklyn, you're a good guy okay? you were doing something good, you just didn't know.. no one did. don't blame yourself, it's not your fault" i tell him and he gives me a sad smile.
"thank you Rye, i've missed you a lot you know" he tells me and we both stand up. i pull him into another hug.
"i've missed you too bud" i tell him, and i meant it. we pull away and he looks at me, smirking.
"oh what now" i laugh.
"well.. the hotel, you're gonna be alone" he wiggles his eyebrows.
"oh fuck off, we won't do anythi-" i groan.
"i never said that you would, i just said you'd be alone, you thought it not me" he smirks and i glare at him.
"what-"
"oh Rye, we both know its been too long-" he jokes.
"oh shut up brooklyn" i groan and he just laughs at me.
"yeah you're right this got weird fast" he admits and that, i laugh at.
