~ Brooklyn ~

I follow Corey into his room and then I give him the camera so he can upload the videos to his computer. Then I pull up a chair next to him so I can watch him edit and see these videos. "This is gonna be great." He says smiling. I just chuckle.

~ Corey ~

I'm half way through editing when Brook moves so she's now laying down on her chair, with her head resting in my lap and her arm over her eyes. I look down and smile at her but she can't see me luckily since her eyes are covered.

I take my left hand and start playing with her hair as I continue to edit this video.

I finally finish the video an hour later, and I look down at Brooklyn. She's passed out. I slowly move so I can get my arms around her, and then I lift her up bridal style. Then I walk over to my bed and carefully set her down, putting the blanket over her.

After that, I grab my phone and quietly walk out of the room shutting the door softly. Pretty much right after I shut the door, I start getting a call. I check my phone and it's Brennen face timing me. "Hey man, what's up?" I say as I answer the call and head downstairs. "Hey Corey. You guys taking care of my sister?" "Haha, yes Brennen. She's good." I reassure him as I laugh. "Where is she?" He asks. "In my room taking a nap. We were editing the dance video we filmed today and she passed out." I explain to him as I make my way to the game room. Brennen knows I like Brooklyn so he just smirks at me. Me and Brennen talk for about 5 minutes till he has to go, and we hang up.

~ Brooklyn ~

I wake up in Corey's bed. I look for my phone, and I see it on his desk. Ugh I don't want to get up. I'm exhausted from dancing so much this past week. I slowly get up and check my phone. I have a few messages from Brennen and of course Scotty. He's been trying to get a hold of me ever since we broke up. I huff and walk out of the room going downstairs.

I go into the game room downstairs and see Corey playing rocket league. Not a surprise. "Oh look, sleeping beauty's awake." Corey says mocking me. "Haha, very funny." I sarcastically laugh and then sit down on the big bean bag chair while watching Corey play his game.

After a few minutes, the doorbell rings. Me and Corey look at each other and he shrugs. "I'll get it." I get up and walk to the front door. When I open it, I'm taken back by who I see at the door. Scotty. "Uh, Scotty what are you doing here? You need to leave." I say whispering so no one will hear that it's Scotty. "Please Brooklyn. Just listen. I need to talk to you please." He's practically begging me and I kind of feel bad. "Hey Brook, who is it-" Corey comes over and then notices it's Scotty and I see a fire start in his eyes. "Corey. It's fine. I promise." I say putting my hands on Corey's chest trying to keep him away from the front door. He looks at me and his face softens. He doesn't say anything other than walk away.

"Fine. Come in." I finally give in and Scotty comes in and I have him follow me into the kitchen. "How'd you know I was here?" I ask him as we stand opposite each other with the island in between us. "Twitter. You literally posted on twitter this morning saying that you were staying here for a week." He's not wrong. "Okay. Fine, whatever. What do you need to talk to me about? Hurry up so this conversation can be over and done with." I say as I rest my arms on the island.

"Okay. So I never meant to cheat on you, I swear. Devyn had invited me over here that morning while Corey was at the gym. I was confused on why she would invite me over anyways since she doesn't like you but anyways yeah, she invited me over. She brung me into hers and Corey's room and we sat on the end of the bed. She started getting all touchy touchy with me and I wasn't having any of it. Then she started saying how she's always had feelings for me and that you don't even love me, and this other stuff. And then she ended up saying that you were cheating on me with Corey, and I didn't want to believe her but for some reason I did. So I got upset and she was pretending to be upset as well. Then she kissed me. I didn't know what to do because I didn't want to be rude but I didn't want her to think I enjoyed it. So of course my dumbass kissed her back. And then it's as if a spark lit inside of me and I was like fine, if she wants to cheat on me I'll cheat right back. So me and Devyn only made out and that's how she got the hickey. Nothing else. And then once I left, I regretted everything. I realized that you would never cheat on me and that I shouldn't have believed that bitch. And then I got home and didn't tell anyone. And then a couple hours later Brennen came over and almost kicked the shit out of me. I wasn't gonna stop him. I kind of deserved it. I love you Brooklyn. I love you so much and you have no idea how sorry I am. I completely understand if you don't want me back, but can we at least stay friends and end our relationship on good terms. Please Brook?" Scotty explains everything and he looks like he's about to cry.

~ Corey ~

I'm hiding behind the wall in the game room since it's right next to the kitchen. Yes I'm eavesdropping on Scotty and Brooklyn's conversation, what you gonna do about it. I hear him explain the whole story to her and I can't help but to feel pissed. I stop myself multiple times from going in there because I don't want Brooklyn to get mad at me for eavesdropping. Then he ends up asking her for one last kiss and it breaks my heart hearing them kiss. I really do like Brooklyn and I can't help but feel a little jealous. Then when he walks out of the house I hear Brooklyn break down into tears. I quickly rush into the kitchen seeing Brooklyn about to fall to the floor while crying. I quickly get over to her and wrap my arms around her mid fall. "Shhhhhhhhhh." I whisper to her and then I lift her up and carry her up to my room. It honestly hurts to see her like this.

~ Brooklyn ~

"I'll have to think about it." I say softly looking down. "Okay. I completely understand. But can I at least have one last kiss?" He asks looking up at me. I nod and I give him a quick kiss while we both lean over the island. Then I go back to leaning on the island while looking down and having my hand on the back of my neck. Scotty doesn't say anything after that and he walks out. After I hear the front door close, I break down into tears. My knees go weak and I'm about to fall to the ground till I feel a pair of strong arms wrap around me from behind, mid fall. I immediately know it's Corey and I hold on to his arms and cry. He turns me around and then picks me up bridal style and carries me upstairs. I grip onto his shirt, as I hide my face in his chest while I cry.

We reach his room and he kicks his door closed with his foot. Then he leads me to his bed and he lays me down. Then he lays down beside me and he pulls me close so my head is resting on his chest as his hand rubs my arm. And his other arm is wrapped around me holding me close.

After about ten minutes, I've finally calmed down. Now I'm just laying my head on his chest as I draw circles on his shirt with my finger. And he continues to rub my arm with one hand while he has his other arm behind his head.

"Cor." I say softly not looking at him. "Yeah?" He whispers back. I don't know why we're talking quietly but it's soothing. "Why do you care so much for me?" I ask finally moving my head so I'm looking up at him. "Well why not. You're one of my best friends. I'm not gonna sit around and just watch you cry your heart out over a boy who broke it in the first place." He says truthfully looking into my eyes. "Yeah but, even when we barely knew each other you still tried to cheer me up. Like, you literally laid in bed with me as I cried until I fell asleep and you still didn't leave after that." I say softly as I look back down. "Well that's just because I care about you. Wether I've known you for 4 years or 4 minutes. I'm still gonna try and comfort you. You're a beautiful, talented, smart girl. You don't deserve to be heartbroken like that." I don't look at him when he says that, because I feel my cheeks starting to get flushed. I just smile as I rest my hand on his stomach. "You're a good guy Corey." I whisper to him and I turn my head so I can see him. I see him smiling that beautiful smile of his and it kind of looks like he's blushing. He's probably just hot because it is a little warm in his room. He kissed my forehead and I can't help but smile. "You should get some rest." He says quietly looking at me. I just nod. He starts to move a little as if he's about to get out of the bed, but I grab his shirt before he can get up. "Please stay." I say softly looking into his eyes. "Whatever you want sleeping beauty." He chuckles and lays back down while engulfing me in a hug. Then he kisses my forehead and whispers "goodnight." Then we fall asleep.
