Sound Of The Sea

Chapter ten

After fifteen minutes of looking for Christmas decorations and still no luck you decide you go ask your mum.

"Mum where are the Christmas decorations? It's only a week now" you ask.

"I don't want them going up, there isn't enough room in this house" she says, not even turning around. "Please? This is the last holiday not ruined by bad memories" you sigh.

"I've said no. Don't try and guilt trip me" she snaps

You decide to just leave, you know walking out is a bit dramatic but you're already in a bad mood and this just made it worse.

You walk down to the beach to clear your head, this has become a daily activity now and you're starting to resent it.

Today 8:45pm

Brooklyn 🙊:
Hello stranger, how's your holidays going?

You:
Not too well tbh, I'm at the beach again

Brooklyn 🙊:
Why? What's up?

You:
Mum started being an ass again, it was only a little thing and I know I over reacted but it's all getting to me now

Brooklyn 🙊:
What is? What's getting to you?

You:
The way she treats me, the way everyone treats me. I guess I deserve it though. I dunno, I just feel a bit down

Brooklyn 🙊:
So what are you going to do?

You:
I don't know.

You:
Maybe stay here until she goes to bed

Brooklyn 🙊:
How long will that be?

You:
Not sure, two hours maybe?

Brooklyn 🙊:
I gotta go, I hope you're not too cold! ❤️

You sit in the darkness thinking about how your life never seems to go right. How you never seem to go one day without something happening. A while goes by before your phone goes off again.

*10% battery remaining*

Great, another thing to get annoyed about you think to yourself. This would be when you went to Fions to stay the night but you know that after your argument she won't answer the door.

The wind starts to pick up so you wrap your jacket further around you.

"Cold?" A voice asks, you turn around to see the one and only Brooklyn Wyatt.
"BROOK!" You shout practically jumping on him to hug him.
"What are you doing here?" You question. "Well my mum started to annoy me too, ever since she hurt her ankle she has to stay indoors and she hates it. She wouldn't stop complaining so I took her car and decided to come pay you a visit. It's only an hour drive"

You look up at his face, admiring his smile. He takes your hand and starts leading you up to the road.
"So I know this is pretty weird but if you don't want to go home you can always stay in our flat for the night, it's empty because the boys are home and Blair is with Ginger." Brook suggests

You think about it, it does seem pretty weird, after all you've only known him for a few weeks. But on the other hand you've watched him in tonnes of vlogs and you've texted him loads before so you know he won't do anything to hurt you. Plus anything beats going home.

You nod and carry on walking in silence.
