Roadtrip Fanfic: 5th Wheel

15: Poloroid

Mikey's POV:

I came out the shower to hear Jack and Brooklyn arguing. Jack didn't believe the cover story and was clearly getting annoyed.
I sat in silence for a minute listening to the conversation.

"Jack please... I can't lose you" I heard brook whisper.

"No Brooklyn just don't! I'm so fed up with people using me! I'm sorry I can't do this anymore... we're over..." Jack shouted hesitantly clearly hurt. Making me jump a little.

I momentarily blocked out the arguing lost in a train of thought. I had caused Jack and Brooklyn to break up. This was all my fault. How could I be so selfish. I was quickly pulled out of my thoughts however when I heard Brooklyn shout.

"Something did happen between Mikey and I!"

"What do you me-"Jack started.

"I kissed him! And I liked it!" Brooklyn shouted!

There was a moments silence then a loud slam from the front door which I'm guessing was Jack.

Why did Brooklyn tell him. How could he. He kissed me. He liked it...? I don't understand.

I heard soft sobbing as I unlocked the bathroom door now wearing boxers.

I walked into the living room to see it empty. Confused I searched the other rooms before coming to the Jacklyn room. I knocked the door but hit no reply. I could still hear him crying now much harder. I slowly opened the door to see it completely trashed. Photos smashed on the floor. Broken mirrors. A broken guitar. And cloths everywhere.

Brooklyn was sat on Jack's bed with a polaroid photo in his shaking hands. Tears streaming down his face. I walked over to him taking the photo from him. It was of Brooklyn and Jack. Brook was holding the camera with his mouth open and Jack was snuggled into his shoulder.

"I-it was wh-en we f-f-first started dati-ng" Brook stuttered through his tears with his head in his hands.

I hugged him tightly. I hate seeing him so broken so down and it's all my fault.

"Brooklyn if you love him you need to go to him. He will understand. And if he doesn't then I guess he's just not good enough for you..."
I said trying to be supportive.

"I-i cheated on hi-m..." he cried.

"You made a mistake..." I corrected him.

I sat there for a while comforting him before Rye and Andy came back in but this time with Blair and Harvey as well.

"Heyyyyyyy anyone home!??" Shouted Rye

Brooklyn had fallen asleep on my chest and I couldn't move or I'd wake him up.

Harvey came barging into the room

"Hel-!...What the hell..." he said looking at us confused.

Blair appeared by his side seconds later and saw the room in a state and Brooklyn cuddled into my chest fast asleep.

"WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED HERE!" He shouted waking up brook.

"Wow what the..." Andy said as he got a glimpse of the scenario.

"Blair it's not what it looks like!" I fought back.

"Why is everyone shouting" groaned Brooklyn as he slowly realised what was going on.

"WELL!! WHAT HAPPEN-" Blair started.

I cut him off. "Blair! Brooklyn and Jack had a fight and Brook was upset I was just comforting him I swear!" I said defensively.
Brooklyn was now fully awake and aware of the situation.

"Blair I'm so sorry I just lost control and..." brook started.

"I don't want to hear it!!" He shouted. Furious.

"You two better get this sorted right now or you will both be getting kicked from the band and if you don't make up with Jack then he will be too! Do you understand me!?" He shouted again.

We just nodded and started cleaning the room.

Later on after Blair had a serious chat with us then went home, non of the boys were really talking.

One by one the boys headed to bed. Rye sharing a bed with Andy and Harvey on my bed. Brooklyn was already fast asleep and I didn't want to sleep in Jack's bed so I decided to make myself up a bed on the floor with some cushions and some blankets.

I hadn't got much sleep that night and it seemed Brooklyn hadn't either. We had both been waiting for Jack to return home but he hadn't.
