**Brook's POV**

I stared at the girl in front of me, she looked scared and uncerain. That wasn't the girl I needed to be, I needed to be confident with what I was getting myself into. I closed my eyes and tried to find the confidence I was lacking, when I opened them I saw the girl in the mirror mocking me. She was right to, what kind of person was nervous about spending the day with their crush? Actually, a lot.

"Shut up" I shouted at the girl in the mirror but she still stayed there laughing at me. I was going to prove her wrong, I was going to prove that I could get through the next thirty days and end up with Jack at the end of it.

I collected my red and silver striped throw off the end of my neatly made bed a threw it over the mirror, relived to not have to see my own reflection any longer.

I walked over to the other end of my room and looked at the extremely poor, home made calendar that Sam had made me. Under today's date it said 'support him' and that was what I was going to do.

I heard someone beep their horn several times and saw Jack when I looked out of the window. I ran down the stairs and stopped by the kitchen making sure to leave Matty a note saying that I would be gone all day. No doubt, Sam would be here instead to keep him company. I walked to the front door and took a few deep breaths before leaving the house, into Jack's car.

I practically skipped to his car trying to show him how happy I was that he'd invited me. Or at least how happy I could be at 6.30 in the morning.

"Hiya" I tried to hug him as best as I could in a car.

"Hey" I attempted to put my seatbelt on but it didn't seem to be working. "Move your hand" he leaned over and pulled my seatbelt across me. His face only an inch away from mine. Be patient Brook, was what my mind was telling me.

"I can't believe I couldn't do my seatbelt" I attempted to hide myself my curling myself up in a ball.

"It's early, I'm not suprised. Speaking of which, I really appreciate you coming with me, especially at this time in the morning." He looked really guilty for making me wake up this early.

"Don't worry about it, didn't your parents want to come and support you?" Key word there, 'support'.

"Yeah but they're still in Florida packing things up to bring over here." He didn't take his eyes off the road, he was a pretty good driver.

"That must suck, you're all alone in the house then aren't you?"

"Yeah but it's not too bad having the house to myself, anyway what about you I've never seen your parents." It was something most people picked up on, why we had such a big house when only me and Matty were ever seen living in it.

"My parents are always away on business, they come back for thanksgiving and christmas but they've missed a lot of mine and Matty's birthdays. It's the same with Lyndon too, that's why were so close, both our parents work together."

"So Lyndon's always at home on his own?" Lyndon had never once referred to that place as his home, his home was at the same place as mine and Matty's.

"No, his house is only really used as a place to hold parties and take girls to. He lives at our house, he has his own room and everything."

"You're really lucky that you've all got each other." I looked back through memories in my head of me, Matty and Lyndon all together. I faintly remember my parents putting me and Matty in a room with another toddler when we were about 3 who turned out to be Lyndon, that was the first time we all met.

At 6, when Lyndon pushed me into a table and I knocked over my birthday cake, I cried for hours over that and my parents had to go out and buy another one. A group of boys were calling me names when I was 8 so Matty and Lyndon beat them up for me. I remember when our parents first told us that they were going away on a business trip, we were only 11.
