- I just don't want it to grow It's not that I don't know I've changed my mind, I take it back ,Erase and rewind-
Have you ever had those moments where you blank out at the moments you need yourself the most? And have you regretted not doing anything after?
Well. That's what happened on Friday. And during the weekend all I could think about was how bad I fucked up. I tried ringing Brooke but her mobile was off. I tried going to her house but no one would answer the door.
I sighed as I got out of my bed.
The bed I spent all of my weekend in. Just writing meaningless poems about Brooke.
Brooke.
The girl that stole my heart.
The only person that ever deserved my heart.
Even more than me.
As I walk through school I walk past all these people smiling there fake smiles. Acting like everything's okay. I almost threw up a little bit in my mouth as I see a couple walking past me, holding each other's hands. The truth is he's probably still with her because he likes fucking her and she's probably sticking with him because she might hate being alone.
Just like someone else I know.
When I walk to English exactly 1 minute and 30 seconds before the lesson starts I look around to see a certain brunette. But there was no sight of her or her bubbly laugh.
''Good morning class''
''Good morning, Mr Jones'' All the girls answered in a union and all started to giggle straight afterwards.
I turn to the empty seat next to me. The seat that Brooke normally sat at.
What was her problem anyways? She's the one that broke up with me. So why is she acting like her heart is all broken. When I was still recovering from a broken heart that she broke.
The door opened to reveal Brooke. She looked perfect every bit of her. She left a smell of strawberries as she walk past me and took a seat at the back. I had to try and stop myself from getting up and giving her a kiss there and then.
The rest of the day went by like a burr and next was practise.
I couldn't help but think of the image of Brooke when she wore her tank top and shorts while jumping up and down with sweat all over her body. Fuck. How was I going to resist that?
When I walked out of the changing rooms into the gym the squad was already there. I tried to search for Brooke but there was no sign of her. Brooke would never skip practise.
I was released from my thoughts once I heard someone calling my name. I turned around to see Nicky walking towards me. What was she doing here?
''Hey, Luke'' she opened her arms for a hug
''Hey'' I choked out while she gave me a rather tight squeeze down you-know-where.
I looked up when I heard the gym doors opening and out came Brooke. I got out of Nicky's hold.
''Hey Nicky'' She called out from across the gym. Why would she be calling her? ''Is it Christmas yet''
''Sorry, I'm coming'' she turned to me and gave me a kiss on the cheek and whispered in my ear ''I forgot to tell you. I'm on the squad''
I watched in astonishment as she walked away. What was Brooke up to?
As the team was finishing of their suicide drills we all looked up when we heard the doors opening.
There stood a man that looked about 6' with an athletic build. His eyes where light brown. His hair was also brown. Like Nathans but a bit lighter.
His steps where big. Like he couldn't wait any longer to get to where he wanted. He walked towards the cheerleaders with a grin on his face. Probably Bevin's new guy. I searched for Brooke from the rest of the girls. Finding Brooke wasn't that hard. Never is. She's different from the rest. She looks up when I take a couple of steps towards her.
Saying 'hello' wouldn't hurt would it?
As I walk closer to her I smile at her. Her brown hair reaches her back going in different directions. Her bangs are in her face before she blows them away. She's Beautiful. In every way possible.
She returns my smile with her award winning one.
As I was going to say something someone's hand wrapped around her waist causing her to jump back and turn around. She started laughing when she realised it was the guy with the athletic build.
''Chase, You scared me'' She mumbled against his lips before she kissed him.
Chase.
That was Brooke's new man. I clenched my fists shut as I saw his hands wrap around her petite body.
She turned around and introduced him to me but I couldn't hear what she was saying I suggest it was the normal 'Luke this is chase' 'Chase this is Luke'. She had a smile on her face. I tried to search for any sign of sadness. There wasn't. Nothing. This was real. She liked this new guy. She's moving on.
Then why was she angry about the whole Nicky thing? Was she trying to make me jealous?
When I got out of my thoughts I realised I was shaking his hand. Behind him I saw Nicky staring at me and grinning.
