Brooklyn

"Brooklyn!" Hally yelled, grabbing my arm.

"What?"

"What just happened."

"Nothing."

She gave me an 'Oh yeah, right!' stare.

"'Fine. Nate happened."

"Huh? Wait wasn't your-Holy shit!" Her eyes widened.

I rolled my eyes.

"You have to go out there!" She said.

My jaw dropped. "You're KIDDING me, right?!"

"No!" She stuck her head out to look over the corner and then back at me ."Why on Earth would I do that?!"

"So you can show him how hot you are! And that you're taken. By someone in a band he likes. Yeah!"

She grabbed my hand and pulled me into the room.

"Hey, B!" Matt smiled.

No, no, no, no, no-

"Brooklyn!" Jack said as he smiled over at me.

All of the fans turned around. I avoided the fans eyes and walked over to Jack.

"Hey." I said nervously.

"Brooklyn?" Nate asked.

"Oh hey, Nate! Didn't see ya there!" Pfft.

"Yeah. Wow, it's been so long." He said.

"Yeaaaah." I giggled nervously.

"You guys know each other?" Alex asked.

"'Yeah, we-" Nate started to say.

"We knew each other in California."

"So how have you been?" Nate asked me. The other fans rolled their eyes in annoyance.

"Uh. I've been...traveling."

"So you're here for the concert?" He asked.

"I guess you could say that." I sat down on Jack's lap. "I'm here on tour with my boyfriend. Jack. He's in a band. And he plays guitar. And he's my boyfriend. Yeah."
Awkward.

Alex and Jack looked around oddly.

Nate looked at me oddly. "Huh."

"What?" I asked.

"You just got over-"

"Hey, guys. Sorry but the guys have gotta go get ready for the show." Matt cut in.

Everyone nodded sadly and the fans, including Nate, left.

"MATT!" I jumped up and hugged him. "Thank you for saving me from more awkwardness! You're my savior!....For now, at least." I shrugged and released him from the hug.

"That was...weird." Zack laughed.

"Ya think?" Jack said.

"How'd you know that Nate dude?" Alex asked me.

I looked around. Where the heck was Hally!?

"Oh, he was um..." I began to say. "I dated him in California."

Jack tilted his head. "Wait, was he the one that you told me about at the park?"

I nodded slightly.

Jack mumbled something. It sounded like something along the lines of "fucker."

I scratched the back of my neck. "So, don't you guys have to go get ready for the show?"

The guys all shrugged and walked out of the room, but Jack stayed behind.

"Hey, Brook. Are you okay?"

"Yeah, why wouldn't I be?" I shrugged.

"I dunno. You just seem kind of jumpy." He said, looking me over.

"Oh. Well. You should go get ready for your concert!" I kissed him on the lips.

"Yeah." He smiled. We split our ways.

"Hally-" I skipped cheerfully over to her.

"what happened?!" She almost screamed.

"I hate you." I glared.

"Wha-"

"Yeah, you rude-"

"But I was the one that-"

"And then you made me-"

"Just so you could-"

"Because you suck-"

"Screw you!" We shouted at each other at the same time. We stared at each other before bursting out in laughter.

"That was-That was,-" Hally giggled. "Such an epic failure."

"I know!" We wrapped our arms around each other and skipped to where the boys were.

I love my cousin.
Even though she makes me do awkward things.
Very awkward things that will help nobody.
