Brooklyn applies the makeup to my cheek, hiding the dark bruise.
"Okay, after like 5 minutes of foundation and concealer it looks fine." Brooklyn says, sighing, "I wonder what she looks like."
"Probably much fucking worse." Shawn proclaims, I let my hair down from my ponytail when Shawn pulls up to Josie's.
I feel my phone vibrate and Brooklyn looks at me.
"Are you gonna pick it up?" She chuckles.
"Um," I shake my head, "no." I smile and she nods suspiciously. Shawn gets out of the car, Brooklyn and I following behind. As we walk, I grab my phone from my pocket and look at my text.
Danielllll 💞
Hello?
11:03 am
Hey sorry for not answering. Um, I'm actually a little busy today :/
11:05am
I take a deep breath and follow Shawn and Brooke to the booth. We all sit down, Shawn sitting across us. I sit right by the window and put my phone in between my legs. I feel it vibrate again and clear my throat. Shawn's glaring at me, his arms are crossed over his chest and all.
What's his problem?
"So uh, Rebecca's gonna be here when again? Sorry, I forgot." Brooklyn laughs, I look at her, peeling my eyes off of Shawn.
"Oh uh, she's gonna be here on the 12th." I smile. She groans.
"So 11 days?" She groans and I nod, "oh uh, Shawn, Rebecca is Bri's best friend from Florida." She informs him.
"Why's she coming?" He asks, grabbing his phone out of his pocket.
"Brianna's birthday is on the 16th." She folds her arms on the table and Shawn looks up from his phone, "oh yeah, Shawn's birthdays on the 8th." My jaw drops.
"What? How come you didn't say anything?" I smile and he shrugs.
"It's not a big deal." He mutters and looks back at his phone.
"It's your birthday." I push and he sighs.
"And?" He says back. I roll my eyes at his sudden rudeness.
"Anyways," Brooke interrupts, "I was thinking that maybe, we could throw like a pool party at Jake's or something." She suggests and I mess with my fingernails.
"I don't know." I shrug and she sighs. The waiter comes over and he smiles at us.
"Hello, my names Cory, I'll be your waiter today. How can I help you?" He smiles at me and Shawn clears his throat. He's glaring at the waiter.
"Can I get some Sprite?" Shawn says lowly. He's in a bad mood for some reason. The waiter nods and jots it down on his notepad.
"And you two?" He asks. I look at Brooke and shrug.
"Uh, we'll get two sweetened ice teas." She tells him. He nods and says he'll be right back with the drinks and to take our order.
"Your such an asshole," Brooklyn says, rolling her eyes. Shawn flicks her off, "so what do you think? I asked Jake about it a few days ago and he said he's totally down." She smiles and I glance at Shawn, knowing that's where his dad lives.
"I'll think about it." I smile and she groans.
"I'll give you until tomorrow so I can get you like a present or something." She says and I nod. My phone buzzes and she looks at me again, "who's blowing up your phone?" She chuckles and I blush.
"No one." I lie again, shaking my head.
"Lies. Just tell me." Brooke pushes and I laugh nervously.
"No, it's really no one." The phone buzzes again.
STOP.
"Fine Whatever." She leans back in her seat. I should tell her, but definitely not Shawn. I decide to text her screenshots.
Brooke 💞
Don't say anything.

I put my phone down and look at the menu.
"Aren't you just going to get a cheeseburger?" He asks, slouching in his seat. Brooke's phone buzzes and my heart drops.
"Don't tell her what to get." Brooke snarls and Shawn rolls his eyes.
"Yeah, I'm just gonna get a cheeseburger and fries," I say, staring at my phone's black screen. Brooke finally goes on her phone when Cory comes with the drinks.
"Alrighty, here you go!" He passes the drinks to each of us and pulls out his notepad, "what can I get you gu-" Brooke gasps. We all turn to look at her and I feel my face burning red, "you alright?" Cory asks and she nods.
"Yeah sorry, just some," she hesitates, "some sales going down at Urban." She lies. I mess with my thumbs and look at my thighs. I quickly take a look at Shawn who's clenching his jaw and staring at his drink.
"Well, alright, what would you guys like?" Cory smiles, I look up at him.
"Can I get a-"
"She's gonna get a cheeseburger with no pickles and some fries." Shawn interrupts and Brooke looks up from her phone. Shawn just drinks his water.
Its been two months and he remembers that I hate pickles. Wonder what Brooke knows about that night. I only told her about the part when he left me in the rain. I didn't even tell her about Daniel picking me up. Then I went to Shawns house and... Stuff just went down. Literally. Shawn may have told her.
"I'll get some wings," Brooke says, putting her phone down.
"Alright, how many?" Cory asks.
"10."
"And you?" Cory looks at Shawn.
"A cheeseburger with some fries." He answers messing with the straw that's in his mouth.
"No pickles?" Cory asks and Shawn looks at me.
"Sure."
