Leo

What with Elaine and I both having a romantic connection and being so close platonically, Brooke was practically second as just about everything in my life.

Which was why I went to her with this.

She was the only person I knew, and was close to, that had lost a parent, she'd know how I was feeling, and how to cope.

"You... what?" She gaped at me for a second before her expression softened. "Leo..." I pulled her to my chest by her hand.

"Don't baby me." I murmured, and she slapped me on the arm gently.

"I'm not!" She objected, and I cocked an eyebrow at her. "Well, it's a tough time, Leo, you need someone to take care of you." I rolled my eyes, not wanting to admit just how much her words touched me.

"It happened back in August, Boo, it's fine." Her head snapped up.

"Before or after we... you know?" I hesitated for a second.

"Before. Why?" She stared at me for a second, then shook her head.

"I shouldn't have... I shouldn't have done that, then... I mean." I bit out a quiet, dry chuckle.

"I could have left, Boo, I made my choice and I wouldn't change it for a thing, because..." I pulled back a little, cupping her face in my hands. "Because I love you."
