Brooklyn Jade's Story

Alone

       ^^CAST^^

Brooklyn's POV

"Hey Katie I'm going out for my run I'll be back in a couple of hours!" I yelled to my best friend.
  "Ok be careful and call when your on the way back! Love you!"
  "Love you too!!"

  Katie's been my best friend all my life. We met in 3rd grade when her family moved out here to the big apple. We literally never leave each other's sides.. we even work at the same clothing store together. I truly love her. And then there's my boyfriend Carter. I've loved him since kindergarten.. we didn't actually become a couple until freshman year in high school but I always had my eye on him. Us three are always going out together and spending time. I guess we're like the three musketeers.

  I went out for my morning run as usual but I had started to feel sick. It was like something just wasn't right.. I had texted my boyfriend Carter earlier but he was short on his reply. I asked him to come over today so we could hang but he just said.. can't.. that was it. Just the word.. can't.. I've been having anxiety about it all morning because it just feels... off..

  I made my way about ten minutes down the street but started to feel queazy but I told myself to keep going and just run it off. But my heart said to just go back home so I started to jog my way back to the apartment that Katie and I shared. I had such an uneasy feeling in the pit of my stomach and didn't know why.

  I finally reached my door, put my key in and unlocked it making my way inside. I took my headphones out and heard Katie in her room and it sounded like she was moaning.

Our rooms are directly across from each other so I had to walk past hers to get to mine... right as I was passing I heard another moan but from a man. I stopped because the voice sounded oddly familiar. Then I heard it..

"Fuck Katie!"
"Carterrrr!!"

I couldn't breathe

What the hell! I thought to myself. I burst through her room door and there it was. It was my best friend and my boyfriend of 6 years fucking each other in her bed...

"You're kidding me?!?!" I said as my heart shattered.
"Oh fuck baby!!" Carter said flying off of Katie
"Oh my god Brooky!" She said with wide eyes.
"How could you guys?" I said as the tears started to fall...
"It's not what it looks like.. well it is.. but I don't love her I love you!" He tried to say while pulling a sheet up as he stood beside her bed.
"Fuck both of you!!You're dead to me!!" I sobbed..

I ran out of her room and into my own. My mind was racing I didn't know what to do.. I quickly grabbed a few duffle bags and filled them with my clothes. I didn't know where I was going but I knew I needed to get out of here. I wished I had some family to go to but I only had Katie and Carter. Well... now just myself.

   My parents had died two years ago in a car accident so I was now truly alone.. no aunts, uncles, cousins, or grandparents..

I threw as much as I could in my bags then closed them. I ran to my closet and grabbed my backpack too so I could fill it with my bathroom needs. Just as I grabbed it from my closet Carter came up from behind me.

"Brooklyn wait.. please just stop." He said grabbing me
"Fuck you!" I screamed as I kneed him.
"Ohh fuu...." he yelled falling to the ground.

I ran out of the closet then ran to the bathroom. As soon as I was coming out of my room Katie was coming out of hers.

"Brooky please let's just talk. I don't even want him...it was just a fuck..."

I didn't even say anything I just punched her in the face.She started to cry and held her nose.

I gathered my things from the bathroom and made my way back to my room to get my bags and my stash of emergency money. I had about 10grand in cash tucked away safely so I grabbed it. But when I turned around Carter was behind me again.

"You BITCH!" He slapped me.
"YOU CHEATER!" I yelled punching him in the nose then kneeing him again.

He grabbed me by my hair and tossed me around a bit. I yelled at him to let me go and he brought me up to his body with my back against his chest then whispered in my ear.

"You will never get away from me Brooklyn! Your mine wether you like it or not!"
"We'll see about that!" I elbowed him in the gut hard then grabbed my bags and ran out of the apartment.

As soon as my face hit the cold air I could breath again. But then I felt sick. I bent over our stoop and threw up. I had so much anxiety. But I knew I had to get out of there. I ran down the street as fast as I could so Carter couldn't come after me.

I must have turned a million corners so he couldn't find me.

   This wasn't the first time he's hit me.. I knew what he was capable of so I was truly scared. But you know what?? Fuck him and fuck her too let them have each other. She can put up with his drinking and abuse I'm free now. And he can have fun getting multiple diseases from her. Good riddance.

I hailed a taxi and quickly jumped in.
"Where too miss?"
"Anywhere, please just drive." I cried.
The man took off and it was silent. Other than my crying at least. I sobbed in the back till he spoke up.
"Do you have somewhere you's want to go to miss?"
"No.. I-i.. I need a hotel. But nothing expensive.." I sniffled
"I have a friend.. I can get you's a great price but it ain't in the best neighborhood.."
"That's fine I'm not picky. Thank you"

The driver took me to the motel and it was kind of run down. But it was somewhere to lay my head at night. Plus he was going to get me a good deal.

"Hey TONY!" The taxi driver said while he helped me bring my things into the lobby.
"Hey Marco!!" The other guy responded
"This here's uhhh..." he didn't know my name yet.
"Brooklyn" I nearly whispered.
"Yea Brooklyn. And she needs a room for a while. How's about you's give her a deal. Ehh?"
"Sure thing I'll get ya checked in." Marco smiled.
"Thank you." I said wiping tears. "Here.. for the ride." I went to pull out some cash.
"Nah don't even think about it sweets. You's just get to ya room and relax a bit huh?"
"Thank you so much." I said hugging him.
"And you's!! Tony! Take good care of my girl here huh?"
"Ya got it boss."

Tony finally checked me in and decided to get the room for two weeks just to be safe. He brought me up to my room and it was horrible.. the bed was tiny and flatter than a door. The walls were dirty and the people outside the window were loud. I wanted to cry.. but it was all I could afford. All the cash I had was what I had to live off of for god knows how long..

Tony gave me a genuine smile and left for me to get settled in. I sat on the old bed and started to cry again.
