21. Confessions Between Us
"Hi!" He shouted as soon as he saw me and I shushed him.
"What're you doing here?" I asked him as I saw him stumbling on the steps.
"I was bored...at the...partyyy," He shouted. "And I was missing you."
"That doesn't mean you'll show up at my house. And that too, drunk!" I scolded as I helped him stand up properly. I swung his arm around my neck and helped him in, kicking the door close behind me.
"Seriously, Darren! What were you thinking? You could have got into an accident. You could have been hurt!"
He just chuckled at this and when he saw me glaring at him, he stopped his cackling abruptly and put his index finger over his lips like a child.
I sighed.
I hated handling drunk people. They just acted so stupid and reckless. I hated being around someone like that. And it was partially because of my hatred for drinks. I didn't know why people drank. I could never understand why some people were even addicted to it. It was just so yuck

Sunday was quiet and quick to pass. My mom had to go to work on that day too and I felt bad for her as it had been nearly three weeks since she last got a holiday. I had spent the Sunday reading books and watching movies and Sherlock.I had not talked to anyone all day. Not Brian, not even Claire and most definitely not with Darren. I was not sure how to act when I saw Darren tomorrow. Would he remember what he had said to me in his drunk state? I was sure he was telling the truth. People always tell the truth when they were drunk.What would I do tomorrow?Monday morning came too soon and before I knew it, I was walking down the corridor towards my first class. Thank God I didn't share this class with any of my friends. They would have known that something was up with me and I wasn't ready to face their questions and looks. Especially Darren's.He probably doesn't even remember that he came to my house that day. But if he does, then other than him, only

I tapped my fingers on the desk. I didn't know what to do.It was the last class of the day and I could think of nothing but how to get a freaking boyfriend in a day.I shouldn't have done what I did.I left the tapping and put my fingers in my mouth, biting down on my nails.What are my options?A. Accept that I can't have a boyfriend. No way in hell will I do that.B. Find someone who can actually bear to be my boyfriend. Hardest task ever.C. Date Darren. Not a bad idea but I'll do that if I have no choice. And for even thinking that, I feel truly horrible.At least I have the last option if I didn't find someone else.I looked around the class. All the boys were either nerdy, studios and single or hot, smart and taken. Even the cute ones were taken.Maybe I wouldn't get anyone after all. Brian was right. I just didn't have the guts to go and tell a boy that I like him.
Something Between Us 24. Feelings Between Us
It had been more than a week since Darren became my boyfriend and I must say that all these days he had been nothing but really sweet to me.Naturally, Claire had tried to kill me because I didn't tell her about Darren and me. She threw a fit and refused to talk to me for the first two days. It was quite comical actually. Whenever she was angry, she looked very funny and I accidentally let out a chuckle once when she was lecturing me about how I never told her anything. That was a big mistake because her glare that followed my chuckle could have literally sent me six feet under.Luckily, it didn't because she loved me too much to do that.Darren was indeed a good boyfriend and he was always very protective and sweet towards me. Brian seemed distant again, though when I questioned him about the texts, he didn't answer me. He and Gemma were a thing now and as expected, Gemma couldn't contain her happiness and excitement at her new status and literally screamed in
Something Between Us 25. Truth Or Dare Between Us
I returned to the living room and Brian emerged from the kitchen five minutes after me. Good. Nobody heard us. I thought we were pretty loud during the confrontation but nobody looked like they heard it. Very good."I don't thinks the lights are going come anytime soon," Sam groaned. "How about we play truth or dare?""In the dark?" Claire questioned. It was getting really boring."We always have candles. So who's up?""Sam that would not be fun," I deadpanned.Sam frowned at me. Yes, I got hawk eyes and so I could clearly see the frown marring Sam's features. "So what, should we just sit here and stare at each other in the dark?" Actually, I think that wouldn't be a bad idea.A couple minutes later, a big scented candle was placed between us and Sam had an empty beer bottle in his hand. He placed it on the floor and spun it. The bottle spun for sometime before finally landing on Josh."Truth or dare, dude?" Sam a

"What do you mean?" I asked Claire, narrowing my eyes at her."I'm telling you to come with me. Everyone's going to be there and I don't want my only female companion to be Gemma. I hate her.""Then don't go," I shrugged. "Simple.""But I want to go! And you're going to come with me." Claire whined. "Everyone is going to be there! Darren, Brian, Sam, Josh, Tyler and J-" she stopped paused suddenly.I raised an eyebrow at her. "And?"She paused for a bit, "Jake," She finally said in a small voice."I'm not coming.""Brooke, please. Come on! I don't want to be there alone. This is the last party I'll be dragging you to. I promise.""Promises are made to be broken. But fine I'll come.""You will?""Yes...but um...who's party is it, again?""Blake.""Who the hell is he?""You don't know? He's the football captain of our school."I gave her a blank stare. "I don't know anyone from the footb
Something Between Us 27. Party Between Us
It was a Saturday night. A perfect night for being safely tucked under the covers, reading books or trying out that one recipe I always wanted to make.But no, I couldn't even have that.Why?Because of a certain (stupid) someone by the name of Claire aka my best friend."Brooke, get that fat, ugly, lazy ass of yours here and help me!" She hollered as she practically swum in a pool ofmyclothes."I told you I was just going to wear a cute top! I don't need a 'sexy' dress!" I whined as I stared up at the ceiling of my room. Claire was already dressed in a revealing red dress which hugged her body perfectly and highlighted her perfect curves.I told her that I didn't want to wear a dress but she cut me off with a cold glare which could have sent me six feet under. Now she was rummaging through my wardrobe for a cute dress."Shut up, Darren and Brian can't see you like that You have to wear something good for th
Something Between Us 28. A Jerk Between Us
I wish I hadn't come. Claire wanted me to be with her because she didn't want to be alone at the party with the guys, not that she didn't trust them. She did. But I really shouldn't have come. She was perfectly fine without me.I didn't know where she was. Knowing her, she was probably too drunk out of her sense by now. Others too have dispersed into the house. I didn't see Sam, Josh and Tyler again in the party. Maybe they are upstairs occupying a room with a girl each. I didn't really know, neither wanted to. Jake came a few times to grab a drink and smiled politely at me. He was just so sweet. I couldn't believe Claire would choose Jesse over Jake. I despised Jesse Winters. I felt like Claire was being used. Jesse had always been physical with her. I wouldn't be surprised if she tells me that their bodies talk more than their mouths. Jesse freaking fuckboy Winters.And not even Brian was here. Gemma dragged him with her to God knows where and I didn't have any idea
Something Between Us 29. Distrust Between Us
Claire had told me this would happen. And now it finally did happen. I wasn't ready for it though, it was not something you'd want to hear first thing on a Monday morning when you were still groggy and sleepy.But now I was fully awake. Thanks to Darren."Y-Yes," I stuttered the words out and Darren's face broke out into a Cheshire cat grin. I tried grinning back at him but I couldn't because I wasn't as happy about it, so it turned out looking like a weird smirk. I reassembled my facial features and put up a short smile."You would?" Darren asked again.I nodded at him."I love you so much, Brooke. I swear you won't regret it. I'll make sure of that."The first sentence stung. It felt wrong. I was going to hurt him. And that would hurt me. That would hurt Brian too. And Gemma, well I think she would be hurt too."Okay, so today at eight o'clock, I'll pick you up. I know this is a little weird as you're already my girlfriend even thou
