Brooklyn was standing looking out the window, when there was a knock on the door. She went and opened it.
"I came for my jacket." Johnny said.
"It's were you left it." Brooklyn said emotionlessly and than went back to staring out the window.
"Brooky, what's wrong?" Johnny asked putting his leather jacket on.
Brooklyn didn't answer at first. "Johnny am I just a possession to you?" she asked.
"No, why?"
"Because that's what you made it sound like yesterday."
"I didn't mean it like that Brooky."
"You seem to really like being a star." Brooklyn said quietly.
"Yeah." Johnny grinned.
Brooklyn turned and looked at Johnny. "I just hope it doesn't make you forget who you are. And who your friends are."
"What? What are you talking to about?" the grin vanished.
"You seem so wrapped up in this, Johnny. I don't know who you really are."
"Oh come on that's not fair. I haven't done anything to you."
Brooklyn just looked at him and than looked away.
"Brooklyn how can you say that?"
"You act like they are friends."
"What are you implying? That they don't know me? That you do?"
"I knew you when you were nothing." Brooklyn said.
"NOTHING!?" Johnny shouted. "What about my bike trick? Huh, that's nothing ?!!?"
"All I'm saying is that you use to be grounded. "Now you're..."
"I'm what? A freak? Just because I can fly? Because I get covered in fire?"
"No, that's not what I'm saying. You just use to be not so busy." Brooklyn held up her hand. "I'm not saying that being busy is bad. But you just...I don't know, maybe all I'm trying to say is that I would like it if you didn't stand me up on dates. And lose the eye candy."
"I hardly stand you up on dates and it's because I'm busy. And they're not eye candy."
"No that's right." Brooklyn stood. "Defend them, but don't defend me when some guy calls me another name for a slut!!!" Brooklyn said angerly. "Maybe the reason you're so busy is because you're with them!!!!!!!!!"
"Yeah maybe I am, because I enjoy their company more." Johnny shouted.
"You what?" Brooklyn was too shocked to say anything.
"So if you don't have any more to say, than I'll find some better company."
"Fine." Brooklyn said through her teeth.
Johnny stormed past Brooklyn and slammed the door.
Brooklyn sunk to her knees and the flood of tears came.
(Baxter Building)
Susan saw Johnny in the lobby. "I see you got your jacket."
"Yeah." Johnny said not to happy.
"Johnny what's wrong?" Sue asked her younger brother.
"It's Brooklyn, she says I use to be grounded and now I'm not."
"Well she is right."
Johnny looked at his sister. He couldn't believe it. She was taking Brooklyn's side.
"Johnny you've stood her up, a bunch of times."
"Once I only stood her up, once." Johnny said.
Susan just looked at him. She couldn't believe it. Johnny was to thick head to see that Brooklyn was something rare. "Johnny..."
"No I'm sick and tiered of being stuck here. I'm moving back to the real world."
"The real world, Johnny that's what you call it?" Susan couldn't believe her brother he was acting so juvenile.
"How about this, you live your life and I live mine." Johnny said. "And for your information they love me." he walked out the door.
Susan turned and started to walk back to the elevator. She called Brooklyn, but there was no answer. Susan knew that Brooklyn's phone told who was calling, so Brooklyn would know that it wasn't Johnny calling. But she figured that Brooklyn didn't want anything to do with any of them right than. But she left a message anyways. "Hey Brooklyn, I was wondering if you could ummm...see if you could find Johnny and convince him to come back. He's moving out."
(Days later)
Brooklyn walked down the street. She remembered that was the first time she had met Johnny and than everything happened so fast, not really, but it seemed like it had. They had gone on dates and than Johnny started to get more and more caught up in the whole fame thing. Brooklyn sighed, she wished she could take back what she had said. Than maybe, Johnny wouldn't have left. Brooklyn walked into a store.
(Few minuets later)
Brooklyn was looking at some pants when she heard her name, she looked up to see Susan.
"Hi Brooklyn." she smiled.
"Hey." Brooklyn said quietly, smiling slightly.
"Shopping?"
Brooklyn nodded. "You?"
"Oh yeah, there's a sale." Susan shrugged.
"Sue." a voice whined.
The smile vanished from Brooklyn's face.
Johnny walked up behind Susan, looking board. Normally Brooklyn would have laughed, but things had gone from right to wrong.
"Johnny shut your yap and let your sister shop." Ben said. "Oh hey Brooklyn." he smiled at her. He knew what had happened between Brooklyn and Johnny.
"Hi Ben." Brooklyn smiled slightly again, looking past Johnny and right at Ben. "Susan dragging you along?"
"Yeah," Ben smirked. "she said that afterwards I could beat up Johnny." Ben noticed that Brooklyn's smiled got a little bigger. "What'd you think?"
"I think it's a fair deal. Well I gotta go. Flame On." Brooklyn turned and left.
"Bye Brooklyn." Susan said.
"Cya." Ben said.
Both Ben and Susan looked at each wondering the same thing. How did Johnny take it? Well Johnny seemed to be fine, because he whined about being hungry. But Susan could tell that it kinda had bothered him.
Brooklyn walked down the street, she sighed. Johnny seemed like it didn't bother him to see her, unlike how it had bothered her to see him. She wondered if she could do it all over again would she? Would she do it so she could feel this way again? Brooklyn really did wonder.
Johnny walked out of the store with his sister and Ben. "I'll see you guys later."
"You're not coming back?" Susan asked.
Johnny shook his head. "No, I got stuff to do."
"Ok, bye."
Johnny just nodded and turned around and walked away. He pulled out his phone.
I'm holdin' on
To your pictures on my telephone
Johnny grinned at the picture, Brooklyn looked so goofy.
And I know that I should let you go
But it's hard to break away
I ask around
And I wonder what you're doin' now
But I hear that you've been going out
A little more these days
Well I can't lie that I think from time to time, how you're doin'
Johnny looked at his phone, Brooklyn's number looked back at him.
Well don't hang up, cause what I really meant to say is
When everything is wrong
Nothing's goin' right
Just know that I'm not hard to find
So just say the word
And I'll race to you tonight
And I'll be right there by your side -
Holdin' on...
Remember when
We were further then you've ever been
Johnny remembered that Brooklyn had told him once that she had kinda gone out with some guy, but it wasn't anything serious. And that their relationship was the one that had lasted, it was way further than the first one.
And I think about it now and then
It takes me to that place
Oh and I pretend
That I'm better then I've ever been
Well at least that's what I tell my friends
Cause I can't show my face
Well I cant lie that I think from time to time, how you're doin
Well don't hang up, cause what I really meant to say...
When everything is wrong
Nothing's goin' right
Just know that I'm not hard to find
So just say the word
And I'll race to you tonight
And I'll be right there by your side
It's hard enough to believe in something more
than just pretend
Just because we both know it's over
We can still be friends
Yeah...
When everything is wrong
Nothing's goin' right
Just know that I'm not hard to find
So say just the word
And I'll race to you tonight
And I'll be right there by your side
I can be right there by your side - Oh
I can be right there by your side
