When Four Years Pass Part 3
Brooke just stood there, staring at the stranger. She was clueless as to what to say, what to do. A sharp pain stung her chest. She realized it was not only the fierce beating of her heart, but the fact she had not breathed in what seemed like five minutes. She gulped in the air around her, thus allowing her to speak.
"You came back." Was all she got out, before Hank engulfed her in a tight hug. The pair stayed there for quite awhile. Listening to the heartbeat of the other. Keeping themselves alive by the strength of the person they hadn't seen in four years. After quite a while of holding on, the two released their grasps, and turned to face each other.
"What are you doing here?" Brooke choked. Her amazed face lightened up and was stung with piercing fear at the same time when he replied.
"Tyler and Val told me they were coming down to see you guys. I haven't been able to stop thinking about what happened between us four years ago. Now isn't the best time, but can I talk to you in a more…private place later on? Maybe I can come over to your house after your shift and discuss all this with you." Hank took a deep breath of air, realizing he had gotten all that out with one gasp of oxygen.
Brooke stared, processing what Hank had just said. "Sure, I get off at seven. Then you can come over to my house. Val and Tyler will be there too, but they'll be staying in her old room, so it won't be too crowded. If you want, my mom can make dinner, and we can have the rest of the evening to ourselves."
Hank smiled and nodded. "Sounds great."
At Brooke's house that night
"Thank you for the dinner, Mrs. Linear, it was wonderful." Thanked Hank, looking over at the google-eyed Tyler and Val. 'How sickening,' he thought to himself, and looked over to Brooke, who was shifting around uncomfortably in her chair. 'And embarrassing', he added to himself.
Hank helped the hosts clean up the dinner and started walking towards Brooke's room. He took a deep breath, reached up to the door, and started to knock. He heard faint footsteps become loud, and stop as she opened the door. She smiled, and, dressed in pajama pants and a T-shirt invited him in, allowing him to sit down on the bed. He gratefully accepted. Brooke took a seat next to him, making him feel even more uncomfortable.
"Like I said earlier, I haven't been able to think about anything but what you told me my graduation day." Hank started. "After a while though, I decided I needed to begin living my life."
Brooke's warm, inviting look started to disappear.
"About two years ago, I had a long talk with Tyl… one of my friends. A new girl at the college and I had been getting really close. After that talk with my friend, I decided that hurting over you, who was five hundred miles away, was just going to be eating at me more and more, till my heart was gone."
Tears started developing in Brooke's eyes.
"About a year and a half ago, I started dating Rachel Mahal. We get along pretty well. And.." Hank stopped, seeing the waterfalls streaming down Brooke's face, catching in her sweatshirt. He reached up and wiped them away with his baby soft hands.
"You gave up on me. How could you Hank, how could you?" Knowing she was not acting like herself at all, she took deep breaths and tried to calm herself down. 'This isn't you Brooke, you're strong. You never break down'. However, thinking about this made her break down more. She jumped off the bed, turned the doorhandle, and ran out of the room. Hank didn't move, just stared at the wall and thought hardly about what he had just done.
Sorry to leave it at such a cliffhanger, but I want to keep the readers coming in!!!
One more thing. As you may have heard, they are canceling the show!!! My friend and I (Megs, luv ya!!!) were quite furious, so we wrote e-mails to Disney, telling them what a mistake they were making. Today, Megyn got an e mail back, telling her they were sending the message to the main programmer, and taking the letter into consideration. If you don't want this show to go, I strongly suggest you go and mail them. PLEASE do it!!!! I along with a lot of others want this show to stay! Thanks Megs, you are awesome!
Please review, the next part should be up sometime this week!
