We sped up the highway heading back home the car ride silent. My head leaned against the window and I squeezed my eyes closed trying to will my tears back. Joe looks over a few minutes later,

"Brookie baby"


I didnt respond didnt even look up or open my eyes. I felt his hand reach for me and grab it. It was a short while later when we pulled up home. I slide out walking up the walkway to the house sliding my key in the lock and I heard the click. I stepped in and disabled the alarm, Duke running in past me just happy to be home. I wandered through the kitchen to the living and looked around this was supposed to be our fresh start just Joe and I. I thought Brooklyn died that night now here we are and these girls reconized me. It seems like its one shit show after another and I just cant keep doing it anymore,I cant keep putting Joe through it. I fell back against the sofa lost in my thoughts when Joe walked into the house a second later. He dropped the bags on the floor when he seen me and walked over.


"Brookie..Baby you ok"

"No"

"whats wrong"

"you know whats wrong"

"it will be alright baby"

"No Joe..its not its one shit storm after another"

"and we will deal with each of them."

No Joe I dont want to do this anymore"

"do what anymore"

"any of this"

"any of what, what are you say Brook"

"Im done with it all Joe. The running, the hiding, us,... everything."

"Brooklyn you dont mean that"

"I do Im done Joe. I came into your life and took it out like a catagory 5 hurricane."


I ruined his life everything he ever known. He walked away from his friends, family, parents his entire life for me and I keep on fucking it up. I decided that I was going to do the only thing I could do to make everything right and put it back to the way it was supposed to be.


"Brookie baby thats not true lets just talk about it."

"No Joe were not talking about it, Im done, were done and the only way I can make this right is if I leave."

"What the fuck no...NO Brooklyn listen to me I love you, dont do this."

"No Joe Im going home and facing my father, the family my destiny."

"No Brooklyn dont....."

"I have too"

"Then Ill go with you"

" are you delushional they will kill you."

"Then they kill me but Im not letting you leave Brook"

"Joe you dont have a choice, were done. Im going back."


I brushed the tears that fell from my eyes and walking into the bedroom grabbing my large suitcase out the closest throwing on the bed. Joe walks in and slams the door,

"Damn it Brooklyn Listen to me, your not going anywhere, Im not letting you! I love you and if you go I go because I dont know how to be without you anymore and I dont want too."

"You really dont get it do you, I dont want you anymore"

"Thats bullshit and I know it as much as you know it. You want me just as much as I want you"
