Brooklyn Jade's Story

What we have

Brooklyn's POV

     I looked out of the peephole and saw a swaying Ace...... He's obviously drunk and I can't just leave him out there alone.

How the fuck did he find me!? I don't think his mother would tell him. She knew I needed time. I stood there telling myself I should let him in. Ugh I have to. He's drunk and I'm not a fucking monster who's just going to leave him out there.

   Before I opened the door I could here him talking.
   "Brooklyn please. I know your there baby. Please." He sounded so sad.

   I unlocked the door and slowly opened it.

   "Hey." He said drunkenly. I could smell the whiskey on his breath.
   "Get in here." I said helping him in.

   He stumbled in as I guided him to the couch. He plopped down and threw his head back placing his hand over his eyes. I just stood in front of him watching him sway. I felt bad. He just lost his father and took on all responsibility to the company. He's literally breaking right in front of me and the drama between us and this bitch Jessica wasn't helping.

   He most definitely needs to explain his actions but right now I need to take care of him and I knew this.

   I went to the mini fridge and grabbed a bottle of water then went to my purse and pulled out a few aspirin to give to him.

   "Here. Take these and drink as much of this as you can. It'll help." I said handing him the pills and water.

   He took them and started to talk or should I say slur.

   "Baby please listen..."
I cut him off.
   "I don't know what happened but I don't want to talk about it right now."
"I ju. I just want you to know I love you. I thought it was you."
"We'll talk in the morning. Get some sleep."
   "Can I sleep with you Brooklyn? Please baby."
   "Ugh come on." I said

   Ace stood up and stumbled forward almost falling. I had to catch him as best I could. I mean he's a built man and pretty tall. At least taller than me.

   Ace plopped on the bed and groaned. I took his shoes and socks off then his pants and shirt. I left him in his boxers so he was comfortable enough. Then I pulled the blankets up and laid next to him.

   I stared out the window again at the beautiful city and the lights. I got a ping of sadness in my heart for everything that was going on. I needed to talk to Ace. I wasn't ready to lose him especially to that bitch Jessica. I lost my last boyfriend do to the same shit. I mean yea it was the best but it still sucks.

   I turned onto my side facing him. I watched his chest rise and fall with every breath he took. His eyes were closed but I wasn't sure if he was asleep or not.

   Then he spoke.

   "I love you Brooklyn."
   "I love you too." My voice cracked because I had started to cry.
   "Please don't cry baby. I'm so sorry." He said turning to me and holding me.
