Girlfriend's Best Friend
CHAPTER 37 x x x .
“Stop the car, I want to get out,” she said.
“Brooke, calm down, you’re not getting out, where would you go?” I tried to calm her down, realizing how wrong I was in this whole thing. Even though Brooke was the one to kiss me first, it was me who suggested we keep this going even after she said we could just pretend that nothing ever happened.
She kept yelling and cursing me out, but I wouldn’t let her leave and walk alone almost two miles back to her house all by herself. She kept telling me she hated me when I got a call from Kelli.
“It’s her,” I said.
“I wouldn’t expect it to be anyone else,” she spat. I yelled at her that she was the one who wanted me to continue dating her, but she yelled back that I said I had to date Kel if I wanted to see her. I answered the phone so I didn’t have to answer Brooke, because she was right.
“Hello?” I answered, expecting an apology from Kelli.
“Cody, can we just forget this whole fight?” she asked.
“Babe, it’s only been half an hour, you miss me already? I miss you too,” I said, starting straight at Brooke to p.iss her off.
“I didn’t say that…” Kelli said. “I said I want to forget this whole fight. You’re right—I’m too dependent on you and I have to let you be your own person, just like how I have to be my own person.” We kept talking for ten more minutes settling everything out, and the whole time I was pulled over talking to her, Brooke sat there, looking down.
I cancelled the date I was supposed to have with Kelli tomorrow because I was ‘busy’ a.k.a I wanted to spend time with Brooke. She wasn’t even paying attention to my conversation, but she also never got out of the car. I told her that had to mean something.
“It meant nothing. I guess you’ll be spending your day alone tomorrow,” she actually got out of the car this time. I turned the car around and drove up next to her, my car going literally one mile per hour. She said she was going to have Jace pick her up, and I knew she picked him because he was an idiot just like me who would do anything for her. Brooke played with people, adjusting and using them like players in a game to benefit herself. Yet I still felt bad for her.
“Well then I’m staying here until he does. I’m not leaving you alone at night in the middle of the park,” I parked my car across from the bench she sat down on.
“You better go,” she warned me. “He’s going to see you and then he’ll figure everything out.” Jace would call when he was close, I knew I’d have time to leave.
“We both know eventually they’ll find out. We can’t expect to keep us a secret forever.”
“But keeping us a secret for as long as possible would be nice,” she said. I smiled. “So you do still care,” I got out of the car and walked over to her.
She yelled at me to get back in the car so I sat down on the bench and put my arm around her. She moved the other way so I did too, apologizing, “Brooke please, just hear me out. I’m sorry that I said that to you and I’m sorry that I yelled at you. I want this just as much as you do but you know what we have to do to keep this going. And I just—” I didn’t know what to say. I thought I loved Brooke. She was your favorite movie, your favorite book, your favorite song. The one you swore you were sick of yet you couldn’t stop watching, reading, listening to.
She kissed me and I didn’t even try to stop her. No matter what I said about Brooke, I was only trying to convince myself I didn’t love her. But I did. I loved her. I loved her. I loved her.
A car door slammed and Brooke and I both pulled up. Jace stood across the street, staring at me in total shock.
“Uh-um, Jace, hi,” Brooke tried to break the silence. “Did you..um..” She didn’t even know what to say.
“Yeah…” he judgingly looked her up and down. “Sorry for interrupting.”
Note: sorry I haven't updated in forever! I've been so beyond busy!
