3 months later

I was sitting on my bed. Listening to my favorite songs. I had been spending heaps of time with Austin over the last few weeks and me and my friends had been doing our best to get Mr Linkin fired as we had many times before. I had been getting worried about Jazz she wasn't talking to me and I was worried she was still mad at me for not telling her about Austin. But Rikki had been over to my house yesterday.

My phone buzzed and I looked at it, it was a text from Austin. It read " Hey miss you, we need to hang out maybe tomorrow" I smiled. I really wanted to see Austin and he had said I could visit whenever. I text him " I'm coming over now is this OK?"

he replied " Yep thats fine :)"  I grabbed my board and headed out the door. I rode all the way to Austin's house. His mum Lena greeted me at the door. I walked in and spotted Austin in the kitchen. I ran over and hugged him. His mum exited the room. I buried my face in his chest, inhaling his signature smell, a mixture of Lynx and beach. He chuckled and kissed the top of my head.

" Nice to see you again" He said.

"  Its only been two days" I said.

" What I'm not allowed to miss my girlfriend now huh?" He smiled.

" Nope" I said pulling away. He pouted. I stood on tip toe and looked into his eyes. He leaned against the counter. His lips crashed  into mine, my whole body tingled with electricity and butterflies. For that moment everything was perfect and then that moment ended and my whole world came crashing down.  Because I noticed something out of the corner of my eye.

My heart stopped, I felt like someone had dropped a tone of bricks right on top of me. 

There on the counter was a bag. A bag that I would recognize any where, it still had the messages that her friends at written at the end of year 9 before she went to England for 6 months. Even mine. it read " Have fun in England Jazz, gonna miss my lil DJ xx".... But there was something else. Sticking out of the top of Jazz's bag was...a pregnancy test. The little screen contained the single letter that tore me apart.... P.

I pushed Austin away from me as hard as I could. He fell into the counter.

" What was that for?" He asked clearly annoyed. I didn't answer. I reached behind him and picked up the bag. I waved it in his face.

" Oh god, Brooke I swear its not what it looks like" He said, panicked.

" Oh really, I knew you were a player." I said holding back tears.

" Brooke believe me"

" I was warned you might do this, but doing it to one of my best friends, thats low" I spat.

" Brooke pl-"

" No, SHUT UP....... is it yours?" I asked.

He sighed " Yes" He said slowly.

" THATS IT, HOW COULD YOU? I'M F**KING DONE" I yelled. I ran out of the room. I ran all the way home and burst in the door. I ran up the hallway, I almost made it to the stairs. but instead broke down in the hallway. Chase came sprinting over from the kitchen. He sank down beside me and cradled me in his arms.

" Brooke what happened?" He asked softly. Ryan ran to where we were kneeling.

" Austin" I choked out.

" That mother f**ker, Jess come on" Ryan said, making his way to the door. Closely followed by Jesse.

" Ry, don't" I said but too late, the door slammed and I heard Ryan's car start and drive away.

Chase picked me up and carried me upstairs to my room, he lay me on my bed and lay down next to me. He wrapped his arms around me and cradled me.

" It's ok Brooke" He said gently " its ok". I sobbed into my pillow. I never really thought my brothers cared about me this much. Chase repeated in my ear, telling me it was ok and I fell asleep in his arms.

I woke up a few hours later, Chase was still beside me peacefully sleeping. I sat up and looked around Ryan was standing in the corner. Jesse was sitting at my desk and Luke was leaning against the door frame.

" Brooke, are you feeling better?" Ryan asked coming over and hugging me. I shook my head.

" What did you do to Austin?" I asked.

" Talked to him" He replied. I sighed in relief.

" and Ry pretty much broke lover boys face" Jesse added.

" What?" I asked sitting up straight.

" Real helpful bro" Ryan sighed.

" You punched him?" I asked Ryan.

" So did Jesse, he deserved it" Ryan said.

" But he's fine" Jesse said.

I sighed, I got up and shook Chase awake. Chase pulled me into a hug. I sighed.

" I love ya lil sis" he said.

" Love you too" I smiled.

The next day I couldn't bring myself to face Austin at school so I stayed home.  I had never felt like this before, too unhappy to bring myself to get up and face the day. I just sat at my desk scrolling though pictures of me and Austin or distracting myself with Youtube. My phone was continuously buzzing from incoming texts but I didn't check to see who they were from. In the late afternoon Ryan came up to my room.

" Hey Brooke" He said, sitting on the end of my bed.

" Hey" I replied.

" I know it's not a good time but I am planning to move out and get my own place" He explained. I nodded slowly. I gave him a hug. I had never lived without all my brothers in the same house.

" What about Jess, doesn't he want his own place too" I asked.

" I don't know, he hasn't talked to me about it" He said. " Don't worry, I'm not moving far just a few minutes away" he smiled. I got up and walked downstairs to get myself some food.
