Living with the Carters

Chapter 26

As the days passed, things got alot better, things started to improve, things just started to look up. 

Ethan and I grew closer. I'm back to school, my career is flying ahead, everything I could ever want is fallen into place.

I strolled down the halls, thinking off everything that has happened in the last few months, and it's almost Christmas, Just two more sleeps!

''Brook!'' Someone called, I looked behind me to see Rachel, ''Yeah?'' I asked, she caught her breathe and put her hands on my shoulders, ''Come with me'' She said, I gave a confused look, but she pushed me to her room, ''Now, your not going to argue, but you and Ethan are going to a party, it's formal, so your going to wear something cute, and I have just the dress!'' She squealed, she ran off into her closet and I looked around her room, A formal party? Sounds interesting, ''Oh And Me and Jamie will be there, also with Logan, Noah, Ethan, You, Nathan And Mason. I'm leaving Troy and Landon to look after Tyler and Evan for the night, So it's only for grown ups'' she said, She came out seconds later with a dress still in the bag, she hung it up and then zipped down the long zipper to reveal a long black vintage dress. 

My jaw dropped and my eyes popped, this was way too expensive, the sleeve on the left hang was detailed squence, and laced, i loved it.

''Oh my god, Rachel that's too much, I can't wear that'' I said panicking, I shook my head and she laughed, ''I got this dress 2 years ago Darling, Now I want you to have it, It doesn't fit me anymore'' She said, I sighed and nodded, she squealed and pushed me down onto her make up chair, she started to do wonders on my hair, ugh please dont let her go over dramatic.

An hour later she finished with my hair, She started my make up, brushes here, brushes there, abusing me with whatever she had.

Time slowly passed and Rachel looked at me smiling, ''Ta da!!'' she said, i sighed as she turned the schair to face the mirror, my eyes widened at the person i was seeing, It didn't look like me. 

''Okay, I have to get ready, um, Go down and uhhh, Idk, make yourself busy or something!'' she rushed off into the bathroom, I chuckled to myself and took the dress to my room, I had a few gifts on my bed, I eyed them suspisouly, A small box was on a another box, and then the last box.

I slowly walked over to the boxes, Placing the dress on the bed, there was a little sticking note on the small box, ''Put these on. ~ Ethan'' the note said, i giggled and opened the box, It was little pearl bracelet with a bow on top, along side a pair of black long dangling ear rings. I placed them too the side and there was another sticky note, ''Something special for someone special;) ~ Ethan'' Aww that was so cute, He's so sweet.

I opened the box, And my let the top fall, my hands covered my mouth as I stared down at the expensive item, it was a Cream clutch bag, with pearls all over, It was so cute.

I placed the bag beside the dress and then placed the empty box on the floor, A envelope was stuck to the big box and it said '' Brooklyn.'' It fancy writing, Gosh Ethan was so cliche.

I opened the envelope, and what was wrote in the card was the most cheesy things ever. 

''  To my baby, Brooklyn,

       I know things were hard, but for me, once I had you beside me, supporting me, Everything was easy, I love you Brookyn, I always have since you came here, And I am so glad my dad took you in, when I laid my eyes on you for the first time, all I could think of was ''Wow, She too good to be true'' ha, Cliche right? I know we aren't together at the moment, but I'm hoping soon we will be back together, like old times. I miss you. I want to have a future with you, I want to marry you, I want to have kids with you, I want to be with you for the rest of my life. I know your leaving soon and that, but I don't want you to go, you are the most amazing singer i've heard, your voice is so talented, your so talented, everything you do, makes me smile, laugh, and it makes me happy. I love you. So heres a special gift from me to you.              ~ Ethan'' 

My body went numb,  he never expressed his emotions to me, he was too good for me, I love him... I.. I LOVE HIM.

My legs found there way, the ran out of my room, down the hall, and stopping outside Ethan rooms, I knocked a couple times before entering, Ethan still in his jeans, looked at me, ''You okay?'' He asked, I smiled, ''I love you, Ethan, I always have, It just took me a while to figure out if it was the right moment to tell you, But... now I know, i love you so fricking much!''  I said, He smiled at me and I jumped on him, I ksised him with passionate, so much force and so much love. This was the perfect moment.
