Locked Together

Five Finger Discount

Brooke stood looking over all the different items of clothing. She picked up a light blue halter with an embroidered flower pattern along the neck line. She looked around to see if anyone was paying attention to what she was up to. She slipped it off the hanger and shoved it into her bag. She took one more look around then left the store not wanting to linger for to long. She didn't really know why she was doing this. It's not like she needed too. Her dad was a rich business man, running and owning the local country club. But he never seemed to have time for her anymore. She decided it was because she wanted his attention. Realizing what she was doing Brooke took off to the Lady's room. Locking herself in a bathroom stall she just let herself cry. How could she do this? This wasn't her.

"Hello? Is someone in here?" A woman said entering the bathroom. Brooke must have been crying loudly because the woman heard her and was concerned.

"Yeah. Sorry I just needed to… um….be alone…for a while."

"You ok honey?"

"I'm afraid so." Brooke whispered to herself, thinking the woman wouldn't hear.

"What?"

"Oh…um… nothing. I'm fine. Thank you."

"Ok. Take care of yourself."

Take care of herself. Yeah she was pretty sure she knew how to do that. She has been taking care of herself for years now. Having a father that was never home kind of forced that on her. Tears were still rolling from her eyes. She was tired of feeling alone. Sure she had her friend Payton but she was too wrapped up in her Boyfriend Nathan to notice there was anything wrong with her. She hugged her legs up to her chest as she started to bawl again. Soon she found herself falling fast asleep. Little did she know that when she wakes up she will not be able to get out.

A/N Sorry it was so short. Im new at this. Give me time. I'll get there I promise. R&R please.
