If It Was Meant to Be

Brooke POV
I just got a call from my mom and she did not sound friendly. Before I left, she said she would call me at the end of my first day, so it's not out of the ordinary. But what I wasn't expecting what she said was what through me of. I was supposed to telll Barron right away, but I was hesitant

. He was looking at me and I started to feel really bad. I decided the best way to do this is like ripping off a band-aid. 

"So what is it?" He asks worriedly. I take a deep breath. Here it comes.

"Barron as you know my mom called me"

"Yeah"

"And she told me that while we were in that IHOP a person started taking pictures of us" she opened her phone and showed me a picture of us leaning across the table sharing a desert while looking at each other. 

"Ok so."

"Barron you have zero national profile. So the media is gonna have a field day with this." I says worriedly

"Ok, I really don't see the problem." How does he not get this?

"Ok, so let me walk you through this you are the first son and no one knows anything about you, miraculously, let's add that your father has an approval rating below fifty. People are doing anything to tear him down and we just put the final nail in his coffin because if he is hiding what's going on with his family then how the hell is he gonna be transparent with the more important things?" I see a look of understanding 

"So what should we do about it?"

"Tomorrow at 5 o'clock our parents are gonna call the helicopter so they can yell at us in person."

"Brooke I don't understand why your so afraid of our parents, I mean what's the worst they can do?" 

"Barron, entire counties are afraid of our parents." After that we sit in the car in silence awaiting our fate.
