A/N- Hello! So I'm finally updating! Woot! I know, it's been forever and I'm sorry. Everything just got really busy. Thank you staying with me though! Enjoy this chapter!

Gizmossidekick- Thank you! I'm glad you liked it!

ShadowWolfDagger- Well I've written the chapter when they find out, but you're going to have to wait to get there for a little bit. But I'm glad you're liking it so far!


Brook sat in her bed watching a random sitcom that had come on and was sort of entertaining her. The dinner was quiet and a bit uncomfortable since everyone had been thinking about Calix and what the future was going to hold. She nearly jumped a few feet in the air when her cell phone started going off and vibrating against her desk. Groaning she rolled over and grabbed it before it fell over the corner.

"Hello?"

"Come outside."

"Tyler? What are you talking about?"

"Just come outside."

"My parents are going to know if I leave through the front door though."

"I mean out back. You do have a balcony."

"Why didn't you just throw a rock or something? It would have been easier."

"Knowing my luck, I would have broken your window. Now come outside."

"I'm coming, I'm coming…" Brook rolled out of her bed and pulled a blanket over her shoulders to keep a little warmer. "Tyler, what are you doing out there? I mean, how'd you get back there?"

"I came to see you since I didn't get a goodbye and I jumped the fence."

"You jumped the fence? The fence is huge and then there are the trees." Brook asked skeptically.

"I more like scaled the fence and Reid helped. Plus I did climb trees when I was younger."

"I'm sure you did. Hold on, I'll be back in a second." When Brook reemerged from her room she had a rope ladder which she connected to the banister and she threw down. Tyler took the hint quickly enough and climbed up, surprised it held his weight.

"Should I ask why you even have a rope ladder?" Tyler said

"My sisters and I used to sneak outside a lot. It was from a tree house we made at one of our other houses anyway." Brook shrugged. She pulled up the ladder and laid it on her deck before she led Tyler into her room.

"You left in such a rush today that I wanted to come and see if there was something wrong." Tyler said before Brook could say anything.

"Um, ya. We might have to move soon. We're not sure, but I'm guessing we will at some point."

"What? Why? I mean we've only been together for a week and you have to move?" Tyler asked, trying to grasp the situation. He jumped up from the bed and started to pace around the room. Brook crawled to the side and hung her legs over the bed.

"We move around a lot. Usually we don't like getting into relationships or close to anyone, but obviously I've broken that rule."

"What about your sister? She has a fiancé."

"She's in college. She won't move with us. She'll stay there with Eric."

"Then why can't you stay here?"

"Where would I stay? My family is one of the biggest parts of my life. I just can't leave them…"

"You could stay with me and we'd find a way to stay connected to them."

"I can't stay in the Spencer dorms…"

"I do have a house you know? Reid and I just prefer to stay in the dorms."

"Tyler… it's… it's just so complicated and it's already creating a problem and we haven't even decided about leaving yet."

"Why do you have to leave?"

"We… I… I'm sorry. I just can't tell you." Brook whispered. She put her head down, letting her hair hide her face as tears started to well up.

"Why not? What's so big and secret you can't tell me?"

"Tyler… I just can't alright?" Brook said, finally looking up at him.

"I've got to go…" Tyler muttered. He grabbed his jacket which had been thrown off at one point and stormed out of the room and onto the balcony. He jumped down, not caring that Brook could have seen him use.

"That was fast. I was expecting to be here most of the night." Reid said.

"Let's go." Tyler muttered.

"Wait? What's wrong? Something happened, didn't it Baby Boy?"

"They're probably moving, Reid. She's moving, her parents are moving, her sister is moving."

"What? Why?"

"She wouldn't tell me."

"She wouldn't or couldn't?" Reid asked.

"She said she couldn't…"

"You shouldn't have gotten so mad about her not telling you why. I mean it's not like we don't have secrets of our own."

"I'm mad that she's leaving. Now are you going to drive or not?" Tyler asked. Reid just nodded and took the keys from Tyler.

Meanwhile, back in Brook's room, Brook had collapsed on her bed and was hugging a blue blanket to her chest. Tears were streaming down her cheeks as she laid curled in her ball. "Brook?" Terran asked, walking in. "Brook, this is why…"

"I know Terran." Brook interrupted.

"Brook, you have to stay positive. We need to have our heads together if we're going to beat Calix this time."

"Can't I just have the night then?" Brook asked.

"Ya, of course. Though Dad wants to go find this guy."

"They heard us?"

"The whole house heard the end of it. I mean, it wasn't like you were talking all that quietly."

"Ya…"

"Get some sleep. If you don't want to see Tyler then you won't have to. Don't go to Nicky's on Spencer's nights and although I'm guessing you're safe to go on Ridgecrest nights it still might be better not to. Just hang out more around here. You were never going to Ipswich before you met him so I'm guessing you can survive not going there now."

"Ya…"

"Well, goodnight. Feel better, alright." Terran stood up from her spot on Brook's bed and headed towards the door.

"Hey, Terran?"

"Ya?"

"Thanks."

"Your welcome, little sister." Terran turned off Brook's light and shut the door, leaving Brook to the night and her own thoughts.
