Car Crash Hearts

I stood in front of Jack, with my arms crossed.
We've been talking about what had...happened the night before.

"Come on, Brooklyn." Jack whined, leaning against door frame. He kicked his bag that was now re-packed with the few things he'd brought to the side.

"I'm dating Nick."

"I've got an idea."

I tilted my head. "What?"

"We'll keep it a secret."

My eyes widened just a little bit. "Wait, are you suggesting that we-"

"Yes, I am."

"But-"

"Look-"

"I-"

"You like me. I know you do. And I love you. And since you're just to nice to dump Nick, then this seems like a pretty good plan." He shoved his hands in the pockets of his jeans.

I looked down and then back up. "I-"

"Brooklyn, come on, it'll be easy." He walked over so that our bodies were pressed against each other.

"'I-i-I don't know if I can-"

He brushed a strand of hair from my face and kissed me.

I pulled away slowly and started contemplating what he had just said.

I did really like him, that's an obvious one.
And like Nick.
And maybe I really wouldn't just break up with him because I'm too nice.
So maybe this won't be a bad idea.
Maybe, this could work.

"So?" He asked.

"Maybe."

He leaned his head back. "Brook-"

"Okay!" I almost smiled, "I-i'll try. But I swear, as soon as I start getting really gui-"

His smirk cut me off. I just stopped talking.

"Good."

"You've seriously got to stop smirking."

His smirk turned into a fake, sarcastic smile. "Happy?"

"Yes."

"GUYS!" Hally pounded on the door, "We've got to go NOW, or we'll miss our flight!"

Jack and I rolled our eyes before walking out the door.

"So, what happened?" Hally whispered.

"I'm not gonna date him. Ever. I like Nick." I lied.

"Nick!" I ran onto the ARTTM's bus right when I got back.

"Hey!" He smiled.

"Um, do you know where my bag is?" I asked.

"Yeah, it's on your bunk....Why?"

"I'm going back to All Time Low's bus."

"Why? I thought you and Jack were fighting."

"We are," I said as I walked over and grabbed my bag, "But Hally wants me back." I lied.

"Hey Nick!" Jack came onto the bus with a smile. I knew it was fake though.

"Uh, hey Jack."

"How are you?" Jack asked.

"Good, you?" Nick didn't seem very interested.

"Oh, I've been GREAT! Just came here to get Brooklyn! Hally wants her back now."
Jack was sounding way to perky.

"Okay. Bye, I guess."

"Bye!" I smiled as we stepped out of the bus.

"God, could you lower the fake smiles down a notch? You totally just went from being completely rude to Blair Waldorf."

"What?"

"Nothing, just get on the bus." I laughed, shoving him onto his bus.

"BROOKLYN!" Matt screamed. He tackled me into a hug right when he saw me.

"Hello to you too." I mumbled.

"I thought you were dead! I hadn't seen you in like...a day!"

"Could it be because I was in California?"

"Child, shush, no need to get all braniac with me." He snapped his fingers and dig the zig zag.

I laughed again. Matt got off of me and hopped back onto his seat.

I almost sat down next to Jack, but then I remembered I was supposed to be "mad" at him, and sat by Matt.
