'Ello you lovely lovely being! I know you're staring at a screen right now, reading what i've typed up to say {well golly I wonder how you know Z!}.

What's that? Oh ya, i'm placing my two cents even BEFORE you read the chapter now!
Why's that? Mmm I think it's less confusing. Plus you can't just skip this-

Well I guess you can if you want to..Anyways! I'm getting off track /Just wanted to say hey! It's been way WAY too long since i've updated my story on here. I've been working on five other stories + new ones for this + editing the old ones. I haven't posted anything of them yet, but I will {sooner rather than later I hope}.
Anyhow, if you're the kind of reader who hates typo's and sees them in my chapters, please PLEASE either state in a review where and for what chapter or pm me! Or even just to say Hey thanks for updating or hey person! If you do, i'll dedicate a chapter to you and/or tell you when i'm updating.

Honestly I just would really like to meet and know people on here, instead of seeing people view my little story here but don't say hey or anything. I read stories on here too and review and message the authors, especially when I really like what they're doing, so is it bad to hope for the same?
Anyhow I hope you like this chapter!

Chapter 14

'W-...wait...WHAT?!' uttered the girl as she looked at his ruby orbs in alarm. D-Date him!? I...I can't do that! Brooklyn thought as she turned her head to look down at the lush grass, but Castiel didn't let her. Grabbing her chin, he raised it to meet his gaze. It held a spark and something sinister, but that didn't scare her. She knew this man since childhood. Surely he didn't know what he was saying right?

'C-Castiel you know Lys and I...' she trailed off, blushing along the way.

Taking siege of her shoulders, Castiel looked into her ruby eyes and tilted his head.

'You know. I never did ask you why you wear contacts. Your pretty green eyes were enough to keep me hooked. You didn't have to replace them with my hair colour. I mean I know how much you adore me but really princess, why?'

Gritting her teeth when he started laughing, Brooklyn stepped on his toe and quickly went back onto the sidewalk crossing her arms. Yelping out in pain, Castiel looked at her but with laughter still in his eyes.

'I...don't have to tell you. Deep down you know anyways.

You know I can't date you. I'm only a...' the girl stopped and looked down blushing. Hearing footsteps walk towards her, Brooklyn backed up and put her hands in front of her. Breathing slowly, she continued.

'...M-Mistress to you' Brooklyn finished quietly as her cheeks turned even more red.

'Brooklyn...that was a long time ago. And you enjoyed it as much as I did!' the red head spat out angrily. Looking up at him with wide eyes, forgetting about the anime store for now, Brooklyn ran full speed away from him, Castiel running after her. Tears came into her eyes as her memories filled her thoughts, memories she had wanted to suppress, never to come back up ever again. Running through the park, Brooklyn hid behind a bush and watched as her pursuer kept running down the pathway, away from her and her precious memories.

When the girl got home, she found Lysander pacing back and forth in front of her apartment complex. Oh great. I really don't want to speak with him yet. I can't tell him Cas won't do it! Brooklyn thought as she hung her head and slowly walked towards her home.

'Brooklyn! M'lady! So how was it? Hopefully not to dreadful?' Lysander had asked once Brooklyn was close enough for him to give her a hug. Looking at her eyes, he noticed something must've been amiss.

'It...Didn't go well did it?'

Before she could say anything, Lysander kissed her right there in front of her home where her mother and Codi could've been watching. Pulling back, Brooklyn shook her head and forced a smile.

Be strong. You can do this.

'Ah well...no it didn't go well…

But! I'll confirm it tomorrow at school!' the purple haired girl replied as she noticed Lysander smile deeply. He took a step forward and kissed her forehead, making her blush.

'All right. I have faith you'll convince him. I'll see you tomorrow'.

And with those words, the silverette left Brooklyn at the front of her home.
Alone.

Putting her jammies on that night, the purple haired girl went to her window hugging her teddy bear that Ken had given her so long ago.

'Of all the things that had to be brought up...

My childhood...well the end of my childhood was such a nightmare…

And then there's the situation with Melody! What a little dog she is! Thinking she can blackmail me into detention! Well after this concert, I'm going up to her and saying she can stay the fudge away from me, because I don't care about those disks!' Brooklyn told herself as she looked down.
Hmm? Someone was there?
And...
Scaling her apartment building?!

Getting away from the window, Brooklyn turned on a light to see a familiar redhead reach the window. He started tapping the glass, but Brooklyn shook her head. There was no way in this world she'd let him in! Turning to walk out of her bedroom, the redhead started tapping even louder. She thought she heard her neighbor start yelling.

'Ugh fine! One second you~' the ruby orbed girl muttered as she put the teddy bear down and went to the window. Lowering the clasp that held it shut, the girl opened her glass window to let the man stumble into her bedroom.
How many times had THIS happened before?

Quickly getting up to brush himself off, Brooklyn closed the window back and placed the clasp over. Turning around to see him, she narrowed her eyes and pointed at him.

'If you try ANYTHING I'm going to start screaming. These walls are very thin. So thin that my neighbor heard you tapping!

There's your warning!' Brooklyn warned him whispering as she walked past him to go to the kitchen. She needed milk. And she needed it NOW.

'You STILL drink milk? What's wrong with a cup of coffee? Or maybe even Starbucks?' Castiel commented as Brooklyn took out the milk and started pouring.

'If you want something take it. And yes I still love milk. It's amazing. An amazing beverage that comes from cows! How could I NOT love it?' she retaliated as Castiel chuckled and looked around.

'Any root beer?'

'Fridge'.

Sitting down on the couch, Brooklyn looked at him with narrowed eyes while she drank her milk.

'So what's with the whole I'm-thirteen-again-so-I'm-going-through-your-window?' the ruby orbed girl asked her friend as he looked at her with a smirk on his face.

'I wanted to see if your response from before was real'.

Looking at Brooklyn's face, Castiel laughed and drank his root beer.

'I guess it was. Well there's no point in me staying here then~' he continued on as the man got off her couch and headed for her front door to exit out of.

'Wait! You can't expect me to believe that you came to my house at night just for that!' Brooklyn exclaimed flabbergasted as she got off the couch and reached out for his arm. Not noticing her picture book on the floor, Brooklyn tripped over it and started falling forwards. She was an inch away from the floor when she suddenly stopped falling and was flipped to be looking up instead of down.
And at Castiel's face.

He gently swept her hair out of her face as he looked down at her with honest eyes. She hadn't seen his eyes like that ever since she first came here and surprised him.

'U-Uh thanks...'.

Smiling down, Castiel picked the girl up bridal style and walked towards the bedroom.

'H-Hey wait a minute!
Hey!

..I told you I'd scream! HEEE~!'.

The girl was stopped by Castiel's hungry mouth suddenly on hers. He was shutting her up?! Rude!, Brooklyn thought as she tried prying free with her fingers, but he suddenly bit her lip and started kissing her with more passion than she had ever felt. Unbeknown to her, the girl had wrapped her arms about his neck and stared to kiss him back. It felt natural to do this, pleasant even.

She slightly came out of her high when Castiel started chuckling and she felt herself being lowered unto her bed. He pulled away with a smile on his face, leaning over her with a mischievous gleam.

'C-Castiel I'm serious! We are not doing anything!' Brooklyn pleaded as he lowered his face to be nose-to-nose with her. He grabbed her arms and pulled them up over her head; she was trapped, left to his non-existent mercy.

'Too bad we don't have a certain drink this time, hey princess? I promise I'll be gentle' the red head murmured as his mouth lowered down and gently left butterfly kisses along her neck. Heat rose to her cheeks as she tried shoving him away, but he was much, MUCH stronger than she was.

'P-Please Castiel! I feel violated enough! Stop!' she cried out as his lips were suddenly on hers again, and they weren't gentle like he said.

'Are you disappointed I hadn't brought the ropes? I'm a bit disappointed myself, but we'll have to make do'.

Shaking her head, Brooklyn didn't stop struggling until her knee finally kicked him in that place she knew all too well. Groaning out in pain, Castiel keeled over so Brooklyn took advantage of the new situation and shoved him off and desperately got off the bed, running into the safe haven hallway.

'That's what you get you low life scum!

..J-just for this, you're doing a concert with Lysander soon! If you don't you'll get expelled!' she nodded crossing her arms. Good way to force him into it Brooklyn, the girl thought as Castiel slowly got up and staggered over to her. Placing his palm just above her head he stared down at her; she saw a smile on his face.

'Oh is that so? Well I guess I'll obey you. Tonight princess. But you won't be so lucky the next night. Or the night after' the red head winked as he slowly walked to her front door and finally left her home. Sinking down unto the floor, Brooklyn brought her hand to her chest.

'Oh. My. Goodness.' the girl whispered. At least he agreed to do the show.

But...

Always with a cost, it seemed with him.

Walking into Sweet Amoris High the next day was a struggle for Brooklyn. She looked hesitantly down the halls to see if either Lysander or Castiel was at school yet. Hurrying to her locker when she saw the coast was clear, Brooklyn quickly opened it and stuffed her bag inside.
Closing it shut, she turned to see her neon blue haired friend leaning on the locker beside hers with his arms crossed and a smile on his adorable lips.

'Brookie. Violette and I have decided to make posters for the concert. What do you think?' Alexy asked with a wide grin as Brooklyn smiled at her friend.

'I think that's a great idea. Thanks so much!'

Grinning more, Alexy leaned closer to whisper something in her ear.

'Also, we need to know all the people in the band. Besides Lysander and Castiel. There...ARE more people in the band right?' his violet eyes looked at her ruby ones with worry and concern. She hadn't even thought about that! Lysander she knew was the vocals while Castiel was the main guitar. But there needs to be a drummer and at least another guitarist for there to be a band!

Holding her head in her hands, Brooklyn mumbled out,

'Does Armin know how to play the drums? Or maybe a guitar by any chance?'

Alexy laughed and shook his head playfully.

'Pfff only on Guitar Hero. I um…Took some lessons. Maybe I could~'; suddenly Brooklyn took his hand and speed walked down the hallway towards the basement. Rosalya had somehow gotten them the basement to use for their concert. She even had help cleaning it up when Brooklyn had asked for her help planning the whole thing. The silverette had told Brooklyn that she would help, if Brooklyn would do her a favour. Of course Brooklyn was skeptical, but she had agreed afterwards and the girls had started this event.

Walking down the stairs to the basement, Brooklyn saw the stage set up and the curtains hanging. She also saw Castiel and Lysander practicing in the corner. Walking up to them, she overheard some of the song lyrics Lysander had been reciting.

'Why are you running away?

I don't understand this, is this how it is?

Why are you running away?

Tell me please, tell me please, I need to know'.

Looking away suddenly, tears had sprung into her eyes. She quickly wiped them away, but not before Alexy had noticed and had kneeled down to look at her ruby orbs with concern. Putting his hands on her shoulders, he asked her if she was all right. Nodding her head, Brooklyn looked at him with a smile and softly pushed him out of the way.

'Why didn't you guys tell me you needed more band members for this?' Brooklyn asked, but her voice had cracked. The silverette man came up to her and looked concerned as well.

'Are you all right m'lady?' Lysander asked.

'I-I'm fine! I came here to tell you that Alexy's your new drummer!'

Hearing a laugh from behind Lysander, they all turned to see Castiel with a scowl on his face.

'What makes you think he can play?' the red head asked rudely as Alexy went up to him and pointed at him.

'I can play just as well as you can play the guitar!'

Raising his eyebrows, Castiel nodded and crossed his arms.

'We'll see. You got a drum set?'

'Yeah an old one. But with a bit of polish it'll look fabulous!'

Alexy's enthusiasm had them all laughing.

'Well all you need now is a guitarist' Brooklyn commented.

Suddenly there were footsteps coming downstairs, and they sounded heavy.
Turning around, Brooklyn smiled when she saw~

'Brooklyn? Hey why didn't you tell me you were throwing a party down here?!' Kentin asked with a wry grin as he came up to them all. Blushing, Brooklyn shook her head and looked at Alexy who seemed in a trance.

'U-Uh...well, we're having a show down here soon'.

Kentin looked at the girl steadily.

'A show? You mean like a concert? Wow that's pretty huge' he replied as Brooklyn nodded and gently bumped Alexy in the ribs with her elbow. What was going on with him? He suddenly stopped talking and was still staring at Kentin.

'Y-Yeah. We still need a guitarist…But I don't know of anyone who can~'.

'I'll do it! You know I liked to play guitar when I was young~

Well anyhow I'll play with you guys'.

Brooklyn's eyes widened; she had forgotten that Kentin had liked playing the guitar. Or at least a toy one. When had he learned how to play a real one?

'W-Well all right then! There's the band!' Brooklyn replied happily as she put her hands on her hips and looked at the four of them. It was really funny actually. The band was kind of like all the men from her past, her present, and probably even her future...

Blushing at the thought, Brooklyn turned when another set of shoes, but this time light, came down the stairs.

'Hey Alexy! Violette needs you in the classroom for the final touches of the poster!

Oh and Brooklyn, once they're done they want you to choose one!' Iris informed gleefully as she trudged back up the steps. Looking at Alexy, he was slightly red in the face but nodded.

'I-I'll uh...see you all later!' he managed to say as he raced to the stairs and walked up.

...Very strange...

Leaving those three to practice, Brooklyn headed to the courtyard to relax for a while. The whole day had seemed stressful. Putting everything together for a concert was tough. And dealing with Castiel was even tougher. Coming to what was known as "Castiel's Bench", Brooklyn sat on it and swung her feet.

It wasn't long before an unfamiliar girl with blonde pigtails came into the courtyard. Spotting her grey orbs on Brooklyn, the girl came up to her and smiled.

'Ah hello! Do you know if Lysander is around?' the girl asked sweetly. What is she? A dark Lolita girl?, Brooklyn thought as she squinted up at her.

'Ah he is but he's busy. Do you need him for something?'

Her answer hadn't impressed the girl apparently, because the girls' eyes sparked with darkness and her mouth went up into a bewitched kind of grin.

'Oh is that so? You're acquainted with him? Do you like him? Because if you do, he is so taken!' the girl warned.

'L-Look calm down okay? You nut job~'.

Suddenly the girl grabbed Brooklyn by the collar and looked at her with her dark eyes.

'I'll be watching you. And I'll be watching you good, if my name isn't Nina!' the blonde darkly replied as she quickly let go and walked off towards the Gardens.

Smirking, Brooklyn lay down and shut her eyes.
She won't find him there; what a crazy girl.

When Violette and Alexy had finished, Brooklyn had decided on a poster and had helped the two post them around the school and outside of the school as well. The Dollar Store had two up, and Leigh had even taken a poster to put up at his store also. The practices were going extremely well from what Brooklyn heard from Alexy; the boy seemed so busy! He had really helped her out with this concert a lot; it was a good thing they hadn't known the reason behind it. It made her smile thinking of the four boys practicing each night together. Somehow it extremely worried her too, but if they were all still alive, things should be fine.

'Brooklyn! I got some bottles for the drink stand! Would you mind helping me set them up?' Iris asked from the stairs hallway. Nodding her head, Brooklyn went to help the orange haired girl, smiling and feeling successful.

Seeing Rosalya there as well, Brooklyn asked her if the costumes for the concert were alright. The silverette gave a knowing smile to Iris who had returned it back.

'Umm is there something I don't~'.

'Don't worry about the outfits. They're coming along just fine; Alexy even helped out majorly with them!'

The purple haired girl shook her head; Alexy. He made posters, helped out in the band, and even helped customize the outfits?

He's too nice, Brooklyn thought as she kept putting the bottles unto the table.

The next day was finally the day of the concert. The purple haired girl booked it down to the school and went to home room to find Rosalya alone.

'Ah Brooklyn! Here! Go put this on!' the silverette ordered as soon as the girl had entered the room. Confused, Brooklyn opened her mouth to say something, but Rosalya shushed her by pushing her to the back of the classroom where there was a made-up changing station. Opening it, she saw Kentin was in there putting his shirt on. The girl couldn't help staring at his refined abdomen; her ruby orbs were entranced by how fit Kentin had become.

'B-Brooklyn! Would you mind closing the curtain?! I'm almost done!'

'O-Oh! Right! Sure okay!' she uttered as she closed the curtain again. Her heart was beating a million times over it seemed. Clutching the clothes to her chest, she glared at Rosalya who only shrugged with a mischief look on her face.

She knew! She knew! How dare she!

Hearing the curtains move, she found herself toe-to-toe with Kentin. His outfit really did suit him. Tight black leather pants with green army suede boots. A green muscle shirt with a black vest on as well, Brooklyn pried her eyes away from his body difficultly as she stepped out of his way. Feeling his hand on her head, she looked back at Kentin who was grinning at her.

'I'm sure you'll look much better than I do when you have your costume on'.

'Kentin! You weren't supposed to tell her!' Rosalya's voice exclaimed, making Kentin and Brooklyn chuckle.

'Oh I'm positive she already found out~

See you later Brooklyn' Kentin replied as he pat her head once more and walked to leave the room. Sighing, Brooklyn went into the change room and hoped, naively, that this wasn't a revealing outfit.

Hearing the music and listening to Lysander's voice fill the school was pure bliss. And the outfit was way too revealing for Brooklyn. The black chocker with a red jewel in the middle was alright, but the black lace and red ribbons that only came down to...not even her mid-thigh was a bit too much. Huffing out a large breathe, Brooklyn swore she'd get Rosalya for this.

'Hey. You don't mind if I take a quick break to watch them do you Brooklyn?' Iris asked loudly so she'd be heard over the loud roar of the music. Brooklyn nodded her head and gestured for Iris to go in. Grinning, Iris stepped around the girl and quickly walked down the steps.

'Ew red? Couldn't they have made it green or something? It would match your eyes much better. Well, if they were still green that is' Hal's voice rang out.

Rolling her eyes, Brooklyn turned around to be face to face with the blonde.

'You know, I finally figured out what you are. A Fairy!'

Laughing, Hal clapped her hands as she sank down to sit on the table.

'Very good! You could call me your fairy godmother, but that would be cliché. So how about your fairy sister okay?' Hal replied winking as Brooklyn again rolled her eyes.

'Hey! Who's playing?' a girl suddenly said.

Turning their heads, the two girls saw the other girl. She had long brown hair and deep blue eyes. The girl also had a butterfly tattoo on her shoulder, and what seemed to be a rocker chick apparel.

'Tell her it's none of her business' Hal demanded, crossing her arms. Looking at Hal confused, Brooklyn looked back at the girl, who looked at Brooklyn then and smiled.

'I'm Deborah. I used to be in a band with Castiel. Is that who's playing right now?' she continued on. Brooklyn stared at her for a few moments, and then looked at Hal.

'Yeah he's one of them. You used to play with him?' Brooklyn asked her, but the girl was impatient and had already gone down the stairs when she had gotten her answer.

Flying in front of Brooklyn, Hal looked at the stairs with such a hatredous look that Brooklyn stepped back.

'You shouldn't have done that sweetheart…' the blonde warned.

'I-I don't see why not. Anyone's allowed to see the concert~'.

Hal put her hands on the table, making the last of the bottles fall to the floor and roll around.

'She's YOUR problem now. I'm not helping you!' Hal replied as she flew backwards and disappeared.

'Great now I have to pick all these up..'.

Suddenly reappearing with a smug expression, Hal pointed her finger and said,

'Yeah, that's much better green. Leigh was right. Rosa doesn't know what she's talking about'.

Suddenly Brooklyn's dress turned into an emerald green, with an even bigger slit down the front!

'Hal!' the girl yelled out as Hal laughed and disappeared.

'Great. This dress got even sluttier than I thought it could..' the ruby orbed girl muttered to herself as she sat down and put her head in her hands pouting.
