Heeeeyyyy guys, so I thought I would upload another chapter on Halloween.
So I'm not sure where you guys are all located, but I'm from the UK. We have just been told that we are going into another full lockdown which is meant to just last until 2nd of December, but we all know we cannot rely on the government in the UK.
So I have to now move to Manchester 3 days earlier than I planned, but at least I can still go since I start my new job on the 9th. So updates could be delayed because of this so I apologise now just in case. I will continue to write, but since my boyfriend doesn't have wifi I might not be able to upload straight away until I get wifi myself. I do have two more chapters already written up so I will try and post them before Wednesday too.
Please please please be very patient with me I will try and do my best at my updates. Love you all very much and I appreciate the love from you guys too.
DESCLAIMER: I DO NOT OWN ANY OF THE CHARACTERS OR SONG LYRICS IN THIS CHAPTER. I DO NOT OWN THE TITLE TO THIS STORY EITHER SINCE IT IS ALSO A TITLE OF A SONG.
So here is the next chapter... ENJOY
I had a long soaking shower under the hot water after the encounter with Julian I watched dirty dancing as tears danced down my face with a box of tissues beside me. I can still grief over my break up. I then pulled myself together to start getting ready for when Lucas came to pick me up.
I looked to the clock when I got out of the shower and I still had an hour to get ready. That would be perfect. I sat at my vanity to go a light bit of makeup and straighten my hair before braiding it to the side and over my shoulder. I then got dressed in a white summer dress with small orange flowers covering the bust. I slide my feet into a pair of my Gucci sliders and grab my matching Gucci bag when I hear the door bell ring.
I quickly check myself over in my mirror and head down the stairs and answer the door.
"Oh wow" was muttered as I looked to the blue eyed guy standing in front of me "hi" his cheeks blushed.
"Hey" I mutter back my cheeks also flushing from his comment.
"Lil is in the car" I nod and follow him down my drive and to his truck "here let me help you up" so he does. I clip my seat belt in and we were off.
We got to the outside theatre and paid to get in. Lucas pulled his truck up so the back was visible to the screen.
"Come Brooke I brought blankets for us" Lily says jumping out of the truck and going around the back. She climbed up and set everything out "there, this is better"
"Would you guys like anything to drink?" I hold up my Disney little mermaid cup that has a straw with it. I got it from Disneyland last summer.
"Oh my god I love your cup" Lily says.
I smile to her "can I have a coke zero please" Lucas nods taking the cup from me.
"Same for you Lil" she nods "okay and I'll grab snacks, sweet popcorn okay" Lily and I nod "oh and red vines?" And then he walked off into the crowd.
"So Lily how do you like it here so far?" I ask.
"Well so far it's been great. This summer actually hasn't been too bad" she beams a smile at me "this town has some great people in it including you. I think we've liked you the best"
"Aww that's very sweet Lily"
"Brooke" I knew that voice anywhere. He obviously didn't understand our conversation earlier "don't ignore me Brooke"
I spin to face him "go away" I grit my teeth together.
"I didn't know you were coming here tonight?"
"You're not meant to know my whereabouts Julian, not anymore"
"Who you here with?" He ignores my comment "let me guess the girls?" he looks around for my car.
"Actually no I'm not" I state and he faces me again.
"Then who?"
"Hey Brooke here's your drink" Lucas came up behind me and I watched as Julian's jaw clenched together.
"You have got to be kidding me Davis" he only calls me by my last name when he is mad "you're here with him"
"Oh get of your high horse Baker, you're here with Theresa" I give a dirty look to the blond hanging off his arm "I'm getting really sick of your nerve to care of what I'm doing or who I'm hanging out with"
"I'm sorry to interrupt" Lucas turns and climbs up in the truck with Lily.
"You're really here on a date with the new guy?" what was that. It sounded like hurt forming in his voice.
"It doesn't matter what this is Julian. All that matters is I'm not with you anymore. Your choice not mine" I turn and climb into the truck and sit in the middle of Lucas and Lily "you should go, the movie is about to start" I then wave them off.
"Come on T let's go" Julian kisses her and my heart sinks just that little and then I watch them walk off.
"You okay Brooke?" Lucas whispers into my ear. I just nod and I'm glad that he doesn't ask anything else. We just watch the movie and enjoy each others company.
"A date? You had a date with Lucas? That's super cute" Haley says once she answers after I texted her back when she asked what I did that evening.
"Hales it wasn't a date, we just went to a movie. Lily was there too" I inform her.
Lucas had dropped me home about half our ago and Haley called as soon as she got my message.
"You guys would be super cute together" she says in excitement
"Well thank you for that, but right now I'm just enjoying his company. Its nice" I let her know "besides that wasn't the eventful part of my day"
"Oh" was all she said
"Julian came to my house" the line went quiet "I didn't call him he just showed up and then I bumped into him at the theatre too"
"And you didn't like you know, sleep with him"
I give her a sigh "no Hales I didn't"
"Okay I'm just checking" she says "so what did he want?"
"He said he wants me back" I slowly climb on my bed "he seemed so sincere Hales. He hasn't looked at me like he did today in a very long time"
"Don't you dare do that Brooke Penelope Davis" she says my full name in a warning tone "I know you want that feeling you had before back and I get that. I get that you're hurting still, but Julian isn't good for you anymore Brooke. He broke your heart"
He stopped me in the hall way after his team mates left and he turned to me. I didn't like the look on his face. I haven't seen it before so I didn't understand what it meant, but I know it felt different. He slides his hand down mine and we move into an empty room. It was the last day before summer and I was excited to spend my summer with him before our senior year.
"Julian you're scaring me" I finally find my voice. He shuts the door and turns to me.
"I love you Brooke more than anything and you have to know that okay"
I nod and step towards him "I love you too" but he steps back and my heart hammers against my chest and tears formed in my eyes.
"I'm sorry Brooke, but I want to take a break" a tear slowly falls down my cheek and I let his hand drop.
I stayed silent looking down at my shoes. My heart shattered and my body felt numb. My legs felt like they were going to collapse underneath me.
"I need to go" I say once I finally find my voice again. I had to make my legs move. I needed to just get away.
"Brooke wait" he calls out as I open the classroom door, my back to him "I love you I really do. I just need the summer to do my thing"
"To do your thing?" and my anger took over "to do your damn thing really Julian" I shake my head at him.
"We've been together all through high school Brooke. I haven't had s chance to experience like the other guys have"
I laugh bitterly "experience what Julian. Experience a std or pregnancy scares. I don't understand what more there is to experience"
"Just to have a good time every night. It's only for the summer and besides we can still hook up, but I'm going to do my thing too" he explained
"You're unbelievable Julian, just unbelievable" I then walk out of the class room and slam the door behind me.
"I'm not going back to him Hales" I assure her "I'm just... I'm not going back" I wasn't sure if that statement was to convince her or me.
"okay well I have to go, but I'll text you tomorrow. Night Brookie"
"Night Hales" I reply and we hang up.
I sit on my bed with thoughts swimming around my head. I wasn't ever going to go back to Julian. That was never my forever plan after the way he has treated me this summer, but my heart still hurt for him and before I couldn't see my life without him, but I'm slowly beginning to realise that I don't need Julian to be happy. I just need myself to be happy for me.
And that is what I plan to do.

Thank you so much
Love you all so much. Roch xoxo
