Strawberries & Cigarettes

Brooklyn Thompson

I kiss Fredrich as soon as I see Maxence.

Fredrich is on shock of course and tries to push me away.

But I continue to kiss him.

Maxence walks out of the coffee shop and I pull apart from Fredrich.

"What was that for??" He ask.

"Nothing" I sigh.

"Don't fuck with me Brooklyn" He sigh.

"I said nothing Fred!" I sigh.

"Now it's official... I'm straight" He chuckles.

"okay first of all you let Kyle gave you a blowjob second you confirmed it later on" I chuckle.

"Correction.. I didn't confirm anything I didn't deny it either.. I gave no comments" He grins.

"Why??" I ask.

"Kyle is so obsessed with me and He made up those rumors.. And I don't want to humiliate him.. Or embarrass himself.. So I stayed silent until now" He smile.

"But you.. Had sex with me!" I frown.

"That is another story.. First of all I am drunk so.. I can't even remember what happened" He chuckles.

"Yeah me neither... I can't even remember how big it is" I joke.

"Okay now I have to go and puke.. Excuse me" He smile as we walk towards the restroom.

I chuckle as I watch him disappear from my sight.

It takes a minute before Fred comes back and he smile as he sits in front of me.

"Why are you doing this??" Fred ask.

"What do you mean??" I ask back.

"You making Maxence jealous.. What's that gonna do??" He ask.

"I want to push him away" I sigh.

"Why??" He ask.

"I don't know okay?" I sigh.

"Don't you love him??" He ask.

"I do.. So much" I start to cry.

"Then don't give up on him that easily! You guys are meant to be! Give him another chance Brooklyn.. He deserves it" He smile at me as he drink his coffee.

"Thanks Fred fries" I chuckle as I drink the hot chocolate.

I'm waiting at the hospital when I see Ezra walking alone.

"Alone today??" I smile.

"Yeah.. Because I am taking Maxence's baby" She smile.

"Jesus.. I've heard that shit a million times already.. You don't have to always say that line" I roll my eyes.

She stare at me and smile..

"I know what that looks like Brooklyn.. That is the face of defeat!! Because no matter what happen.. I always get what I want" She smile as she walk towards me.

"you really think I want Maxence?? You're ridiculous" I chuckle.

"you should watch Legacies because then you would know that while you're busy playing checkers I was playing chess.. Checkmate" She winks at me.

But I notice something odd.. Something strange about her..

Her lips are shaking like she's cold or something.
