| chapter | 17 | ♥ | ♥ |
It started getting pretty hot out so we went back to Cody’s house. I used to go all the time with Kelli when they first started dating but hadn’t been there in a while. Now it makes sense- she had been secretly hanging out with all of them without me. We walked in and were greeted by Cody’s parents, who were probably the sweetest people in the world.
“Brooke! It’s been so long since we’ve seen you! How are you, beautiful?” his mother gave me a hug.
“Hi, Mrs. Hayes! I’m good, how are you?” I smiled.
“Good, good,” she said. “Why haven’t you been by?”
“I’ve been busy,” I lied. We made our way down to his basement where the guys started playing XBOX and just talking.
“I love the fact that even though you guys are almost eighteen, you have the mentality and maturity level of fourteen year olds,” I laughed, taking a seat next to Carter and Cody.
“I heard a rumor you hooked up with a fourteen year old,” Carter laughed.
My mouth dropped, “Who told you that??”
“Kelli,” Cody said. I was surprised he actually ratted out his own girlfriend.
“In my defense he acted like he was at least seventeen and I probably made his life by doing that,” I laughed. “It was a one-time thing.”
“That happened twice!” Carter laughed. I hit his leg to get him to stop embarrassing me.
“She was probably just trying to make you look bad again so she could look better. I don’t understand why she has to do that,” Cody said.
“She’s a jealous b.itch!” Carter broke it down for him.
“Stop,” Cody defended her. “She just gets insecure, all girls do.” I know this is wrong, but it bothered me that he defended her. After how she’d been acting, she didn’t deserve it.
“You’re not supposed to get insecure around your best friend though,” Mattie said. “That’s why she tries to keep you away from Brooke. She thinks Brooke’s gonna steal you from her.”
“I would never do anything with Brooke,” Cody said. Little did he know, he’d eat those words.

“Brooke, you have to wake up,” Cody nudged me. I slowly opened my eyes to see I was still in his house cuddling up next to him, but it was just the two of us.
“Where’s everyone else? What time is it??” I shot up.
“It’s only eight. You fell asleep on me once we started watching the movie. The guys left to get some food and they’re coming back soon but I stayed back because you were sleeping. But I woke you up because you were crying in your sleep, is everything alright?” he asked. I looked up into his deep green eyes and saw how concerned he actually was. I felt safe in his arms, pressed up against his warm, muscular body. And it’s not like I was the only one holding on to him- his arm was around me too. I sat up a little straighter, pressing my hand against his chest so I could adjust myself.
“I was crying?” I asked.
“Brooke, what’s wrong?” Cody asked sadly.
“Nothing,” I smiled.
“You’re not the same. You’re not that same bright and smiley girl that Carter and I called over four months ago. You used to laugh so loud and happily, and now it seems forced and fake. You used to be so carefree. Now it seems like you’re always watching out for something. You were always so happy, and it’s so obvious that you’re not anymore,” Cody said. “What happened to you?”
This was it. My chance to let everything out since Kelli stopped being there for me. He actually cared. He wanted to know. He wanted to help me.
“Nothing happened,” I said. “I’ve always been this way. I guess I’ve just gotten tired of pretending to be okay.”
“How were you able to act okay before?”
“Honestly, it was because Kelli was there to help me. She would talk to me until I felt okay again. But she doesn’t do that anymore. I guess she just doesn’t care. I mean, I can’t really expect her to. She’s happy now. She shouldn’t have to deal with me and how sad I am because I’ll just bring her down.”
“She’s supposed to be your best friend. Regardless of if she’s happy or not, she’s supposed to be there for you,” he said. “Is it my fault that she started acting like this?”
“It’s just ever since you guys started dating, she’s been acting different- calling me out on my insecurities, not listening to me vent even though I do for her, ditching me to be with you. I guess I’m just kind of lonely,” I said truthfully.
“Brooke, you should never feel alone. You’ll always have us,” Cody said.
“Kelli said I’d always have her and look at us now. We barely talk,” I said.
“The guys never shut up about you. Even when you messed up and led them all on. Yeah they’ve moved on to other girls but if those girls knew what they still say about you, they’d ditch them in a second. It’s hard for Kelli. She knows that those guys aren’t as in to her as they are to you. You’re both beautiful, but guys take more of an interest in you. She’s getting tired of not being able to match up to you,” Cody said. "You have to understand where she’s coming from.”
“You’re right. Kelli’s the victim here. Poor Kelli, forget about Brooke, she’s pretty so she has no problems,” I said annoyed, trying to get up. I can’t believe I actually thought about letting Cody in. He’s not on my side. He’s on hers.
“That’s not what I said! There’s a lot about Kelli that you don’t know,” he grabbed my arm so I couldn’t leave.
“Kelli’s been my best friend since fourth grade, of course I know her,” I said.
“Then you’d know the reason she’s so jealous of you is because she found out I liked you before I liked her,” he said. “Like, liked you.”

| chapter | 5 | ♥ | ♥ |
“I hope you end up with one of those guys too,” Kelli said as we rode our bikes to the beach to meet up with our six new guy friends. “You deserve a guy to make you happy, considering everything you’ve been through. I think a guy would make you less depressed too.”
“I hope so,” I said. What I loved about Kelli is that she understood my pain. No, I’d never been r.aped or had a poor family life or anything like that. I was depressed with what seemed like no reason at all. And while most people looked at me and thought, “Oh my God, you’re gorgeous and everyone loves you, you have no reason to be so depressed,” Kelli understood that sometimes you don’t need a huge reason to be depressed. No one asks to be depressed. No one wants to be depressed. It’s just something that takes over you, and it’s so difficult to not let it control you.
Yeah I could go out and have a good time and attract a lot of people. But I was still so lonely. And I think the loneliness was the worst part. The fact that I had a bunch of people always surrounding me, but I consistently felt alone. Maybe it was because guys only took enough interest in me to hook up with me for a few weeks and then throw me away; maybe I always felt like I didn’t belong, and that’s selfish because so many people showed me why I did. Something was wrong, and I couldn’t figure out what. But through it all, Kelli had stuck right by me and I think that’s because Kelli felt the exact same way I did. We understood each other’s misunderstandings.
Like last night, when I got home and sobbed in my pile of stuffed animals that five attractive guys had won for me. I should have been happy, but my mind was miserable with no right to be. I texted Kelli, who stayed up with me until I felt alright enough to fall asleep. I would be thanking her for that today by finding a way to get Cody to hook up with her.
“I texted Cody all last night, and he thinks any one of those guys would hook up with you, especially Mattie or Jace,” she smiled. “Mattie’s tall and I know you love tall guys and Jace is a total sweetheart and did you see the tattoo on his arm? SO hot!”
“Who should I pick?”
“Go with both, you know you can!” she laughed as we pulled up to the bike rack.
“Brooke, Kel!” the guys called us from a table outside me and Kelli’s favorite pizza parlor on the boardwalk.
I let Kelli borrow my favorite white bikini from Victoria’s Secret, knowing it would make her boobs look twice as big. I wanted to wear it, but I knew it would look better on her. I chose a different pink bikini that didn’t look as good as it used to on me after I’d lost ten pounds. But I worked hard for this body; I wasn’t going back to being ‘Blubbery Brooke’ as I used to call myself.
“The pie should be out any second,” Graham informed us. I sat down in between Jace and Mattie, still unsure of who I’d pick. Kelli sat next to Cody, quietly whispering and giggling to each other, excluding themselves from the rest of the group.
“Ugh, yes!” I said when the waiter finally set down the pie. “Wait, there’s eight of us and eight slices of pizza, do we each only get one?”
“Brooke, you eat so much,” Kelli laughed. “One should be enough for you.” A few other guys chuckled, but I was not amused. She knew how sensitive I was about eating and just made me look fat in front of six hot guys.
“You’re right,” was the only thing I could say.

“Now she’s upset,” I heard Kelli mutter under her breath to Cody. I wanted so badly to yell at her and put her in her place, but not here. Not in front of these guys where she’d potentially lose her chances with Cody.
“Brooke, it’s totally fine, we’re ordering another one,” Graham said, sensing I was obviously upset. “You look like you could use a few extra slices.” Was he making fun of me for being too skinny now? I looked at him, my eyes wide and my mouth ajar.
“You shouldn’t have said that,” Kelli rolled her eyes. “Anything about food or weight upsets her.”
“That’s not true,” I said. Kelli was going to make them think I have an eating disorder, which I don’t. I just don’t like when people comment on my weight at all. There was a difference.
“So do you like going in the ocean or do you just like tanning?” Mattie changed the subject.
“Both,” I answered, going along with it. After we were done eating and went down to the beach, I talked to Cody for Kelli. I didn’t want to after how she acted during lunch but I did anyway. She deserved to be happy because just like me, she had problems of her own too.
“Cody Hayes,” I used his first and last name to call him over.
“Brooke Cooper,” he imitated me and came over.
“One name left- Kelli Carson,” I said. “I have a good idea.”
“What is it?”
“Well you obviously like her an-”
“I don’t,” he lied. I looked up at him with my baby blue eyes through my waterproof mascara eyelashes. “You do,” I said and continued my sentence. “I think she likes you too. Remember yesterday when you said you would get with her? Well I think today would be a good day for that.”
“I’m just nervous,” he looked away embarrassed.
“Aw! Why? She’s totally into you! She’d go for it,” I said.
“She’s into me?” he asked. “How do you know?”
“Yes! I’m her best friend, of course she tells me things.”
“What if I screw up or something? She’s so pretty and funny and I don’t want her thinking I’m an idiot,” he said. “Then my friends will bag on me and-”
“Just go for it, trust me,” I said as I tied my brown curly mane into a ponytail.
“I just- I’m not sure if I like her,” he said.

“But not in a bad way or anything,” I imitated her excuse from before when she basically called me a sl.ut.
“Brooke,” Kelli brushed the back of her index and middle fingers against her jawline. That was our code to let me know my scar was visible and I needed to apply more makeup to it.
“I’ll be right back,” I grabbed my bag and Kelli’s hand to go to the bathroom. I couldn’t believe Kelli was actually helping me out right now. The way she’d been acted, I would’ve expected her to not say anything at all and let me draw attention to the embarrassing scar that I hated.
“Thanks for telling me,” I said, applying some foundation in the bathroom mirror.
“Of course,” she said. “Has Cody said anything about me?”
“I told him to kiss you later, I’m almost positive he’s going to do it,” I smiled. She squealed and grabbed wrist excitedly.
“He told me Mattie admitted he likes you but Jace likes you too but can’t say anything now because Mattie said it first,” Kelli said. “Oh my God, Brooke, this is great. I love hanging out with these guys, ah! Maybe these are the guys we’ve been looking for to make us happy.”
This was the Kelli I knew. The one who was giddy and excited about guys who looked out for both of us. Not the one she was acting like ten minutes ago, who talked about me behind my back, mentioned my insecurities and acted like she was so much better than me.
“I’m sorry about what happened at lunch too,” she said. “I wasn’t trying to act like a b.itch, I was just trying to get them to stop talking about it but I realized I upset you.”
“It’s alright,” I said, putting the foundation back in my bag, although I wasn’t entirely sure if her apology was true. We exited the bathroom and went back to the guys.
“You disappeared out of nowhere, what happened?” Cody asked.
“Nothing, we’re fine,” I said, taking my ice cream from Mattie.
“Boardwalk?” Cody asked. “They’re opening that new cotton candy stand, it’s supposed to be really good.”
“Do you like cotton candy?” Jace asked.
“I love cotton candy,” Duke and Graham both said at the same time, laughing and then fist bumping each other. Jace rolled his eyes.
“I love cotton candy too,” I smiled, knowing his question was originally meant for me.
“No you don’t,” Kelli said. “You hate it. You just want him to buy it for you.”

“That’s not true,” I laughed.
“If you don’t like it you don’t have to feel compelled to say you do,” Jace said.
“No, I really do, I’m not like, lyin-”
“Cody, come on the roller coaster with me,” Kelli said. He followed her and looked back at his me and his friends, who pelvic thrusted and made the signs for get it in while mouthing the words.
“I don’t understand why he doesn’t just hook up with her already,” Carter said. “He’s such a loser.”
“No stop! He’s nervous,” I defended him.
“And that’s my fault?” Carter laughed.
“He’s totally faking this whole ‘I’m so shy and nervous thing.’ He’s never like this. He just knows that Kelli will like it,” Duke said.
“I thought the same thing,” Graham and Mattie said.
“Why would he fake it??” I asked.
“Because he knows girls like sensitive guys, especially younger girls because then they’re like ‘oh my God, older guys get nervous by me’ and they think it’s cute or whatever,” Duke said.
“We’re younger than you guys by one year!” I said. “But I feel like Cody really is sensitive and shy though.”
“When he needs to be,” Carter laughed.
“Oh my God, guys look, I think he’s gonna kiss her!” I directed their attention over to Cody and Kelli who were waiting on the line, when really I should have been paying closer attention to what the guys were trying to tell me. They looked, but Kelli stopped, as if she didn’t realize he was going to kiss her. Cody looked over at us, knowing we were watching and shook his head as if to jokingly say, ‘Are you kidding me?’
I laughed and said, “Aw, that poor kid, all he wants to do is kiss her.”
“Brooke, remember when you kissed me?” Carter laughed to rub it in Jace and Mattie’s faces.
“Shut up,” I laughed, my cheeks blushing.
“Well, the guys and I are going to go get some fried Oreos really quick except for Mattie so why don’t you two stay here and….” Carter half smiled and nodded at Mattie, as if I couldn’t see him and understand exactly what he was doing.
“I’m sorry about them, they’re such idiots,” Mattie laughed nervously.
“I was kind of hoping they would leave,” I flirted. He grabbed my hand to lead me behind a food stand when someone else grabbed my other hand and pulled me in the opposite direction.
“The line was too long, let’s play some games,” Kelli said.

“Kelli, he was going to hook up with me,” I whispered to her.
“Oh my God, I’m so sorry, I didn’t even realize,” she said. I’m sure she didn’t realize.
“It’s alright,” I lied. We walked around some more and Mattie challenged Cody to a balloon darts game, the first to pop five balloons won. “Which one, Brooke? The pink dolphin?”
“Yeah, how’d you know I’d want the pink one?” I asked, surprised he got it right.
“It’s obviously your favorite color. The pink teddy bear yesterday, your pink bathing suit, pink nails, pink streak in your hair,” he said. “It’s cute.”
I smiled, hoping he’d win the game. But instead, Cody had won, asking Kelli, “Which one?”
“The pink dolphin,” she said. She hated the color pink. And that was the last pink dolphin there. “It’s so cute, thanks Cody.”
“I’ll get you something else,” Mattie assured me. It’s not the prize that mattered, it was the fact that Kelli took what she knew I wanted even though she hated it herself. That was so childish.
“It’s fine, I don’t care,” I smiled, letting Kelli know her attempt failed. We walked around some more, laughing and flirting around in a big group and having a good time. We got on the Ferris wheel line and I knew this is where Cody would finally kiss her and ask her to be his girlfriend. Maybe once he did she’d stop getting so jealous whenever there was guy attention on me.
“He’s so gonna do it,” I whispered in her ear. She smiled at me and giggled, and I knew that mean she was excited. I whispered back in her ear, “I’m really hoping to get with Mattie tonight, do you think I can?”
“Of course,” she said. “I’ll help you if you need.”
“Help with what?” the guys asked. “You can’t just do that, you know, tell secrets in front of us.”
“I’ll tell you guys after the ride,” I said, totally not planning on telling them. It was finally our turn to get on the Ferris wheel, when we had to decide who would sit with who. First Duke and Graham went on together, not caring that they went together. I knew Jace really wanted to sit with me but couldn’t say anything because he knew Mattie liked me. Carter said, “Come on Jace, go with me.”
Jace listened even though he was a little disappointed. I didn’t want him to think he had no chance, because he did. I just wasn’t sure who I liked yet. And ever since that kiss with Carter, I’d been even more confused. Why not just test them all out while I’m at it?
“They’re together,” I joked to the guy working the ride as Carter and Jace took a seat. “No, we’re not,” they tried to tell him as the guy pushed the next cart forward. I made Cody and Kelli go next so that they’d be in front of me and I could see when he kissed her.
“After you,” Mattie said, letting me get in first, leading me forward by the arch in my back.

“You know, I may be wrong, but sometimes I get the feeling that you and Kelli aren’t really friends,” Mattie whispered to me on the Ferris wheel.
“What? No, I love Kel! What makes you think we’re not friends?”
“I don’t know, it just seems like you guys are always trying to one-up each other,” he said.
“No, it’s not like that at all,” I assured him. But mostly, I was just trying to convince myself. Mattie put his arm around me and we could see two carts in front of us Carter yawning loudly to get our attention and putting his arm around Jace to make fun of Mattie.
“Oh my God, Cody’s going to kiss her,” I whispered excitedly to Mattie and shook his wrist out of habit, because that’s what Kelli and I do when we get excited.
We watched as Cody leaned in, resting his index and middle finger on her jawline to direct her face towards his. Kelli leaned in too until their lips finally met. I don’t think I’ve ever been happier for her, because I know this is exactly what she wanted- exactly what she needed. A boy who would finally make her happy after she’d been so sad for so long.
“I was wondering if you uh, wanted to…be my girlfriend,” I heard Cody ask her. She smiled so bright and her eyes lit up and she nodded and said yes.
“Are you crying?” Mattie asked me.
“I’m sorry,” I laughed. “It’s just like, if you ask one of us out you’re basically asking both of us out and I’m so happy for her and I don’t know, I’m a crier, don’t look at me.”
He laughed, “No, it’s fine haha, I guess guys don’t do that for each other.”
“Apparently not,” I turned away a little embarrassed, giggling nervously.
“I think you’re really beautiful, Brooke,” he said to me. I smiled and leaned in, instigating the kiss. I guess I got too into it because I hadn’t even realized the ride stopped, and the guy who worked there was waiting for us to get out.
“Sorry,” I laughed embarrassed, and hopped out of the cart. I knew what I had to do now- play hard to get. Show him that even though I kissed him didn’t mean I wouldn’t flirt around with the other guys. I liked when guys worked hard for me.
“So, are you guys, like, dating now?” Graham asked Cody and Kelli who were off to the side holding hands.
“Yeah,” Cody half smiled.
“Gay,” Graham said. I hit his arm and yelled at him for his insulting response.
“Now you can’t hook up with Brooke, Cody,” Graham said. Cody stopped walking for a second, caught off guard by the fact his friend actually said that. But he picked up again like it didn’t faze him. “Alright, I don’t care,” Cody laughed. “I have Kel, that’s all I want.”

“Brooke and Kelli,” he repeated. “Beautiful names for beautiful girls I guess.”
We both laughed at how cheesy he was. “What about you guys, what are your names?” I asked.
“Carter,” said the blond boy who originally asked if I went to Arizona State.
“Graham,” said the muscular one in a tight white tank, khaki shorts and vans.
“Mattie,” said the tallest one who was about 6’4. Ugh, yum.
“Duke,” said the curly haired guy who was about 5’7, and inch taller than me, two inches taller than Kelli.
“Jace,” said the last one with flirty blue eyes and dark brown, almost black hair.
“Cody, Carter, Graham, Mattie, Duke, Jace,” I repeated. “I’ll try to remember.”
“You’ll try?” Carter laughed.
“Maybe if you guys had like, a cute slogan or something it would be easier to remember,” I joked.
“A cute slogan?” Mattie laughed. “What’s your ‘cute slogan?’”
“Brooke and Kel, angels from hell,” Kelli and I recited at the same time and laughed.
“That’s clever,” Duke laughed.
“Right? No one will ever forget our names,” Kelli laughed. It surprised me that she actually said something. This was new, and I was hoping it would continue.
“I don’t think we’ll be forgetting your names any time soon,” Cody winked and pulled Kelli a little closer by the hem of her shirt. She giggled nervously and looked at me, but I just gave an encouraging look back, because I knew she could do that all along.
“So does your group have like, a little dress code or something?” I asked, referring to the similar outfits they all had- tanks and khaki shorts with vans and a skateboard in hand.
They laughed and Jace said, “Do you and Kel always wear baggy T-shirts, Soffe shorts and flip flops?”
“When we don’t know we’re going to run into hot guys we do,” I laughed. “Otherwise we would’ve dressed nicer.”
“Well we’d love to see how beautiful you guys look when you’re actually trying, because you’re stunning just like this,” Cody said, looking straight at Kelli.

There’s something calming about being outside right before a massive storm hits. The dark gray clouds blanket the sky only to be lit up every now and then by a strike of lightening, captioned by the loud rumbles of thunder. The warm air swirls around you, picking up the leaves and dirt in its path, carrying them out effortlessly. The trees sway and branches get tangled as animals try to take cover before it’s too late. You feel small drops of rain tapping the surface of your skin as a warning, but you still stay in the comforting atmosphere of the disaster waiting to happen, because oddly enough, you feel secure. You have every sign shouting at you to get the hell out. Yet you stay.
That’s how I felt when I started hooking up with my best friend’s boyfriend. I knew it was wrong. I knew I shouldn’t have. I knew it would hurt her. But I did it anyway.
It didn’t start out this way- I promise. I was just feeling so left out and forgotten. When I was alone with him, he made me feel like the most important person in the world compared to how awful Kelli had been treating me since they started dating. I knew it was wrong, but without realizing it, Cody helped me to see why this wasn’t as bad as it seemed.
She wasn’t a good friend to me. Well, not when she was dating Cody at least. Sometimes Kelli Carson was the best friend anyone could ever hope for. But this all stopped once she found hope and happiness through Cody Hayes, her oh so perfect boyfriend that she’d never shut up about. And suddenly, as if our seven years of friendship never happened, I had no one. We were still friends, but she wasn’t the same Kelli Carson I’d become friends with in fourth grade.
Although both of us had a good amount of friends, we were our best selves when we were together, and I think that’s because we both found someone who completely understood us. We were sarcastic- not mean. We were broken- not attention seeking. We needed reassurance- not pity. We were lonely- not alone. We did everything together, and although she wouldn’t admit it, she was willing to give up our friendship for him.
She knew how much I needed her, but she still left me despite knowing the broken state I was in. Now that she was gone, I needed someone to help me feel less alone; someone who understood me. And that someone, just so happened to be Cody.
There were a lot of things Kelli Carson would never admit:
1) She was the weaker of the two in our friendship. We treated each other equally, but others treated me higher than they did her. But hey, if you act like you’re in control in a confident, totally non-stuck up b.itch manner, people will treat you better. It also helps to be pretty.
2) If someone mentioned her name, you wouldn’t know who she was until you mentioned my name, Brooke Cooper. Then you’d go, “oh! That pretty brunette with long dark hair and shining dark eyes to match who’s always with Brooke? Now I know.”
3) Boys liked me better. It’s funny, because she’s the one with the boyfriend and I’m still single. But there was no denying this one. The number of guys I’d hooked up with compared to hers spoke for themselves.
Kelli and I had been through a lot. Seven years of acting like this without one single fight. And I know she was willing to change everything so she could be on top, but that's not how things worked. Ditching me for a boy, Kel? Cute. Ignoring anything I have to say if it doesn’t have anything to do with Cody? Adorbs. Acting like you don’t need me? Ha! Acting like you’re better than me? Now Kel, you know that’s not true.
I was willing to keep everything the same, which is why I felt bad when I started hooking up with Cody. But you know what, Kel? He was there for me when you weren’t. You can try acting like you’re still the best friend you used to be, but you’re not fooling anyone. You think I’m not going to notice you being a s.hitty friend? You know me better than to think I’ll put up with anyone’s bulls.hit. I didn’t want to resort to this Kelli, I knew the mess it would make. But you left me when I needed you most. You’re the one who turned this friendship into a competition. And I’ll keep this whole “no don’t worry, we’re still best friends even though you know we’re not” charade going as long as you do.
One word of advice? Don’t start a war with someone who can fight harder.
Game on, girl.

Directioner version of LLWY:
follow for a follow.
I am lazy, lazy, lazy.
I don't see the sun.
I know it's been five hours
But it feels like one.
My ovaries have vanished,
there's not a single one.
Never gonna get some,
cus blogging is fun.
