26. First Kiss Between Us
"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

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

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

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

"Don't worry, Mrs. Parker. I will bring Brooke home on time," Darren smiled at my mom while I slipped into my three inch heels. It looked good on my light pink dress which had a thin golden belt around my waist. It ended a little above my knees. I had left my hair in its usual wavy locks and had applied minimal makeup."Good. Have fun you two!" My mom squealed, more excited about me going on my first date, than I was myself.I gave her a tight lipped smile.Darren got here an hour ago. My mom left no stone unturned to interrogate the hell out of Darren. She was quite shocked when she heard that I was going on a date. After the interrogation, she clicked a few dozen pictures of us, despite me whining about us getting late.And now we were finally free.Darren opened his car door for me and I threw him a smile before getting in. He jogged around the car and opened the driver's door before getting in."Where are we going?" I asked as I saw him
Something Between Us 31. Kisses Between Us
I was frozen on my spot. Brian was kissing me. His lips were against mine. It took me some time to process that before I began responding to him. I didn't know why I kissed him back. I knew it was wrong but I couldn't stop myself.His lips were soft against mine. It made me feel dizzy. I had never been kissed before but this was the best kiss of my life.The moment he kissed me, it was like my feelings burst out into the open and I couldn't hold myself from kissing him back.My hands travelled up from his waist to his shoulders and I hooked my arms around his neck, pulling him closer to me. My fingers dug into his soft hair. Our lips moved in sync.His arms were on my waist and he was holding me tightly, refusing to let me go. Not that I wanted to go.His tongue licked my lower lip, asking for entrance and that was when I snapped to the present.What the hell was I doing? I was on a date with Darren and I was kissing Brian. That was so wron

"I had a perfect family," Brian began, "or so I thought. My dad and mom were college sweethearts. They loved each other so much that I still find it hard to believe that my mom would do something like that. And now, all I feel towards her is hatred," He said and paused.Hate...that was a strong feeling towards someone. The only person I hated was Jesse."My mom is a hot headed woman and I don't know why, but she always hated me. It was later that I got to know that she hated me because she didn't want to have a child with my dad. And before she could abort me, my dad got to know about it and so she couldn't do that."My eyes widened. Why would she do that? What kind of a mother was she?"When I was little, like nine or ten years old, I accidentally read one of my mom's texts. A man had texted her asking her to meet her at a hotel. When I checked her other texts, I got to know that she was cheating on my dad with another man. Naturally, I was very furious
Something Between Us 33. Break Up Between Us
I hadn't seen Darren all day. I knew he was in school today. I wanted to tell him the truth as soon as possible. The guilt of still being his girlfriend but liking someone else was eating me alive. I just couldn't live with the truth for one more day. No matter what, I had to tell him.It would hurt him, it would hurt me too. But we would get over it eventually because we were not meant to be together in the first place. I just wanted to win a stupid bet. And to win it, I became his girlfriend. And that was so,sowrong. That was not something I would do. I would never do such a thing to my friend. But now that I had, I would have to set it right before it was too late.I saw him at lunch. I thought about telling him then and there but I didn't want to create any more drama so I waited till lunch ended. Gemma and Brian were there too. Gemma had brought her girl gang with her to lunch today. She was telling them about her date with Brian and he looke
Something Between Us 34. Shock Between Us
It had been four weeks. Four weeks since I broke up with Darren. A lot has happened within this short period. Firstly, Darren had changed. He was no longer the same Darren I knew. He was more quiet now. He didn't talk to me much but wasn't hostile or bitter to me as I had expected. We talked, but not as often as we used to. Things soon turned awkward if we had a conversation exceeding more than three minutes.Secondly, Claire and Jake were dating. I was so shocked when they told me. They started dating a week ago. I thought it was too early for Claire to be in a relationship already when less than four weeks ago, she broke up with Jesse. Not that I didn't like them dating, it was just that I felt that this escalated too quickly. But nevertheless, I was happy to see Claire happy again.And if you were wondering, no I was not dating Brian yet. I didn't know why, but we were still not dating. But I dif love him and we had kissed a few times. It was just that I thought I s
