I glanced at my phone through my tears, and hit ignore when Sean called, before hiding back under my blanket as I squeezed my eyes shut to try to stop the tears. Did I know why I was crying? No, I really didn't. I just woke up sad, and now I can't stop.
I heard my phone ding at me a couple of times but didn't bother to check it. I sniffed as my mom opened the door and let out a sigh, before sitting on my bed, and looking at my phone. "They're both worried." She pulled back the covers to look at me. "Have you taken your pill?" I shook my head. She pulled back the rest of the covers. "Lets go do that."
I let out a sigh, but followed her, but first hugged my mom, finding comfort in the hug. "It's okay, sweetie." She kissed my forehead, and then walked down the stairs, with me in tow to make sure I would take my pill and not go back upstairs and cry some more.
"Nova? Brooks is here." My dad walked in the front door with the mail. "He seems stressed."
I went pale. "I don't have pants on!" I yelled. I ran back upstairs while my mom invited Brooks in. I quickly threw on leggings and a bra before running back downstairs. When Brooks saw me, he noticed the tears first, and hugged me.
Once I pulled back from the hug, he peered down at me, before my parents cleared their throat. I jumped, and smiled. "Sorry. This is Brooks. Brooks, this is my mom Julie and my dad, Kyle."
Brooks stood straight and shook their hands before smiling, "It's very nice to meet you." My dad smiled, and then talked to him for a second before my mom smiled and said the same back to him.
Brooks smiled, and looked down at me, "Can I kidnap your daughter for the day?"
"She has to take her medicine first." Mom said, as she nodded the small orange bottle sitting on the counter. I walked over, and took my small pill, before looking at Brooks.
"I need 5 minutes." He nodded, then I dashed up the stairs.
"Where are we going?" I asked as I got in the car. Brooks glanced at me, and sighed,
"We had a heart attack, Nova!" He told me, "Sean called me after you didn't answer him, so I called you but didn't answer and you would've texted me if you had therapy and you didn't! I'm pretty sure I have 10 speeding tickets because of you!" He yelled at me, as I slowly curled into a ball and hid my face.
I didn't reply as I took in his words, only attempted to make myself even smaller than I already was I felt the tears flood my eyes again.
"Will you look at me?" He asked, his voice a little bit softer now. His face dropped when he saw the tears in my eyes. "Nova…" He looked heartbroken. He sped up the car, and then quickly parked, and hugged me tightly to his chest. "I'm so sorry." He whispered in my hair.
I wrapped my arms around him and hid my face in his shoulder, "You can't yell at me when I'm like this." I said softly. He pressed his lips against my temple, whispering sorry over and over again. "I get like this and I can't stop it. Everything makes me feel like shit and you just cant yell at me."
He pulled back and looked at me, before wiping my tears away. "I'm sorry." I smiled and hugged him again, before smiling once more as I pulled back.
"I'm okay now." I said, "For now I am. But where were we going?" I asked as he started the car again.
"Well, I was going to drive to the base, but we're stopping at the Lennox farm so you can see Bullet again." My eyes automatically lit up at his words.
"Brooks." Lennox greeted us as soon as we parked and got out of the car. I smiled and waved. "Hi Nova." He smiled kindly.
"Hello." I smiled.
Lennox nodded to the door as Brooks wrapped an arm around my shoulders and lead me into the house.
Sarah yelled from the kitchen in greeting, as Annabelle wobbled out of the kitchen, right to her dad. I looked around, and smiled when I saw Bullet running down the stairs, and greeted us with happy barks and tail wags.
I sat on the ground, and smiled when the large dog sat on my lap, and gave me kisses as I laughed, and then hugged Bullet. The german shepherd didn't move, but kept wagging his tail, before whining lightly, licking me again when I let go.
"What's the occasion?" Sarah walked out of the kitchen, "Oh, hi Nova." She smiled down at me, where I grinned up at her.
Brooks smiled, "She was sad, and Bullet helped her once, and that's the most she's smiled today." I blushed at his words, and hid my face in Bullet's fur. He looked at Lennox. "Is Ron at the base?"
"He was getting ready for some mission before he left. He grunted and then left." I was confused at Lennox's words. He looked down at me, "Oh. When ron isn't on base, he lives in the garage." I shrugged, and didn't question anything.
"Lennox." That was a new voice. I turned my head, and saw, Sean, but he didn't have the tattoos. He glanced down at me, and then walked past me without a word. That wasn't the happy go lucky man I knew. I looked up at Brooks, totally lost.
"Sean's twin, Seth. He really doesn't people." Brooks helped me up.
"I don't like people, and that's him? That's scary." I looked up at Brooks as he grinned down at me.
"Him and his brother are polar opposites." He told me, as I nodded in agreement. We both looked up when Seth and Lennox came back out of the room they were in.
Seth looked at me, "Hello." He seemed to hate me already. "It's...good to meet you. My brother and him," He nodded to Brooks. "Never shut up about you." Then, he left.
I frowned, and then looked at Brooks, "Brooks?" He looked at me when I whispered his name, "I'm hungry."
Brooks nodded, "I'll go start the car." He smiled. I smiled, and walked to Bullet, giving him a kiss on the head, and a hug, before I thanked Sarah, and yelled bye to Lennox. I smiled as I walked outside, and walked to Brooks' car, pausing at the music that played.
"I promise it was Sean." He attempted to stop the song from playing, before sighing and looking at me, "I don't even know what it's called."
"Good for you. Selena Gomez." I told him as he pulled out of the driveway. "I do listen to other music." I told him when he looked surprised.
"Where do you want to eat?" He didn't comment on the song as he merged into traffic.
"Don't let me make these choices. I can't pick." I shook my head, to which he nodded to.
"Okay." Brooks smiled, then sped up, already having a place in mind
Once we pulled back into my driveway, I didn't want to be alone in my room. I paused, before looking at the driver of the car, "Do you want to come inside?"
Brooks smiled, before he parked the car, "I'd love to."
We quickly said hello to my parents, and then Brooks was the first one in my room, looking around, and at the pictures I had hanging up, "Is this from school?" He nodded to one of them, I looked over his shoulder, and nodded.
"Yeah." I moved to the middle of the room, "Brooks?"
"Hm?" He turned around, and then walked to me.
"Thank you for today...the not yelling parts." I smiled. "I needed it, and if you wouldn't of come, I'd probably still be laying in bed crying." I looked down.
Brooks grinned down at me, "It was my pleasure to help you." He poked my nose, smiling when I shook my head, "You're so cute." He whispered, stepping closer than he already was.
My stomach dropped as he slowly placed a hand on my waist and looked down at me, a new look in his eyes. I blinked, "The reason that I know." Brooks shushed me.
"Don't ruin the moment." He whispered, before tilting my chin up with his other hand. He quirked an eyebrow. I swallowed, and licked my lips. My stomach dropped again, as I felt his fingers tighten on my waist.
I watched him move closer, and closer, until he couldn't anymore. My eyelids fluttered closed as I felt his lips press against mine softly.
And just like that, his lips were gone from mine, but his forehead rested against mine, his bright blue eyes questioning what I would do next. I smiled lightly at him before I pulled his lips back to mine, kissing him once more.
Okay, guys. Mostly is back. And the reason that I didn't update it for so long was that I was getting my other story, Borderline up to speed so they both had 6 chapters so I could update at the same time. Can we talk about how cute this chapter ending was? I find it adorable. Okay, another thing. I start my senior year of high school next Monday. I'm not sure what the homework is going to be like, but I will still attempt to update regularly. I think that's it, guys. As always, any questions, comments, or concerns, leave them for me to read. Oh, also, a review would be nice. - REMEMBER, NO FLAMES.
