(Monica and Brooklyn on side)

~Brooklyn

I was sixteen years old, and I had just gotten my license, and honestly I was so excited that I was now driving.

It was a Friday evening and my best-friend at the time, Monica, and I were going to the movies around 10:30 to see some horror flick. We watched the movie and had a great time. But all fun things have to come to an end.

FLASHBACK

"That movie wasn't even scary" Monica laughed walking out of the theatre room.

I shook my head disagreeing with her. "Yes it was! Especially when the one guy with the mask had been stalking her the whole time, and got into her house"

"You're such a wimp" she laughed again. "Honestly, that was the funniest" she continued. "And it was obvious how the masked man got into the house, she obviously didn't lock the door, and plus who doesn't lock the door from coming home at 12:30 am?"

"True" I said making my way back to the snack counter, and ordering another slushie. "But still he was stalking her!"

"Yeah, because she did all of those things to those people" Monica said

"Yeah, I guess she deserved it" I said reaching into my back pocket, and pulling out a 5 dollar bill.

"Do you want to see another movie?" Monica asked. "It's only 11:45, but if you want to go back to my place we can"

I sipped my slushie, looking at the other movies that were playing, and that showed the showtimes of the upcoming movies on the screen.

"Hmm" I said. "I don't mind"

Monica and I stood for a good 5 minutes debating on which movie we were going to see next until I saw my boyfriend at the time with another girl.

"Hey, um Brooklyn?" Monica questioned

"Yeah" I said not taking my eyes off of Cole.

"Isn't that Cole with Miranda?" Monica asked.

I nodded my head and watched as Cole held Miranda's hand, and how she giggled when he put his arm around her waist. They both sat down at one of the small tables enjoying themselves. Every few seconds or so he would caress his thumb over her hand, and place a small kiss onto her lips.

"Oh my god" I whispered.

"C'mon Brooklyn, let's just go" Monica told me, grabbing my hand and practically pushing me outside of the theatre.

"No!" I told her.

I walked back in the theatre and watched how Cole grabbed Miranda's waist and kissed her.

My heart completely shattered, and Monica was still trying to get me to leave, but I insisted on confronting them.

Walking over to the two of them, my heart pounded, and Monica followed after me.

Reaching the table they were at, Cole immediately let go of Miranda's waist and looked at me with complete shock.

"Shit! Brooklyn! You know Miranda right?" Cole said. "I didn't know you'd be here tonight"

"Yes you did Cole. I told you that Monica and I were going to the movies" I said to him.

"This is Brooklyn Cole?" Miranda asked "she's even prettier in person!"

"Cut the shit" Monica said stepping up next to me.

"How could you?!" I yelled, getting stares from a couple of other people in the theatre. "I thought you loved me!"
