Something like love

Chapter 24

The car ride home was silent and felt longer than usual. I had my attention out the window most of the time but i looked back at Dereck a couple of times too, his poker face was like looking death in the face, but you dont know how you're going to die yet. He looked forward, no where else just forward.

"I'm Not mad at you, i just wasn't expecting it, like, i- I don't know, i just," I sighed "Nevermind" I continued to look out of the window when he didn't say anything for a while.

We arrived at my house, he drove up the driveway and unlocked the doors. He looked over at me and i could just tell what was wrong by the look in this eyes.

"I'm sorry" He says

"No i'm sorry" I say

"You didn't do anything" He says

I felt like i did though, like he was ready but i wasn't. It's just a brand new thing for me. Was it new for him too? I look down, then back at him and grab his hand and then let go and get out of the car feeling like i still did something wrong. I walked up to the door and unlocked and opened it slowly, not really wanting to leave him like this but i looked at him one last time before i got in the house and shut my door.

"So night rider, what have you been up to?" Brooke says from the window, looking out as derecks car backed out of the drive way

"Getting my memory back" I said flatly and started walking up to my room

"Wait what?" she asks

"Come, let me tell you all about it" I say and start to drag myself up the stairs. she walks behind me.

"Dude, you look like crap, somthings wrong i can feel it" She says

I sigh as i make it up to my bedroom, i flop on the bed and tell brooke to close the door as she walks in.

"So whats up girl?" she says and lays on her stomach next to me

"Dereck wiped my memory but last night he gave it back to me" I say and stare at my ceiling.

"He what? You just met this guy destiny" brooke says and rests her head in her hand and faces me.

"He wiped yours too thats why you don't even remember him" i say

"What? I don't remember him doing any of this" she says

"Of course you don't he wiped your memory so you wouldn't rip him to shreds, when he started treating me differently" i say and shift positon and lay on my stomach

"So why was scott talking to him?" She asks

"Because he knew, everything" I say

"Wait he knew everything but he didn't bother to tell me that some guy  wiped my memory and im just sitting here looking all dopey like 'who are you again ahtehe' oh he must of had a good laugh at that one because now im  going to be the one laughing" she gets up and puts a hand on one hip and runs her fingers through her hair. "Hmmmm, how do i know him, c'mon brooke think.  No not a past boyfriend, ugh where do i know you from?!" she shouts and starts pacing

"Its no use B he has to give it back to you" I say and sit up on my bed and watch as her frustration unfolds

"No he doesn't, I can do it myself, c'mon think you bastard" She says and taps on her head and shakes her fists in the air

"Brooke just stop" I say and try not to smile because that only sets her off

"Cheese and freaking crackers! ugh" she shouts and drops to the floor and starts taking her shoe off and beating the floor

i laugh and sit on the edge of the bed "Is that what happens when you get frustrated, c'mon now brooke how old are we again?"

"Shut up beef cake"

"Sleeze"

"Tramp"

"Dont use my word!" I shout

"You used my word!" She shouts back at me

"So!" I yell

"Right so i can use your insult words when you use my insult words" she says and takes her other shoe off and throws it at me and i freak out "It was a shoe destiny a shoe" she  says

"Fuck you"

"fuck your mom"

Fuzz ball"

"Matted mess"

"I know" I say and laugh

"I love you" she says

"Love you more poopey face" i say and smack her arm

"Lint licker"

"you didn't"

"i did"

"Thats so three years ago"

"That's soo three years ago" she says repeating me

"I eat farts"

"You do, i never knew you had a fart feddish" She says and gasps

"I hate you"

"you know you love me" she says and gives me a bears hug from behind and tries to pick me up

"Weakling" i tease

"I have a condition!" she says

"What weakling syndrome" I laugh

"Shut up, and take a shower you stink" she laughs

"you know you like it when i smell all rough and nature like" i tease

"yeah, sure" brooke says

"Hand me my towel butter ball" I say

"Here fat face" She says and throws my towel at my face

she walks out of my room and shuts my door behind her, i get in the shower and rise all the bad vibes away.
