The Only Hope For Me Is You.
Zack.
-Alex's P.O.V-
Brooke and I helped Jack into her house while Zack held the door open. I had the strangest feeling that Jack's fall down the stairs wasn't an accident, but I didn't pay any attention to my superstition. We sat Jack down on the couch. Brooke sat by him. I walked toward the kitchen to make us some coffee. "ALEX!" Jack yelled. "What?" I called back. "Make me some bacon!" He whined. "Make your own damn bacon!" I yelled not thinking of who I was talking to. "Fine!" I yelled and went to her fridge. I got the bacon, found a skillet and started to fry the bacon. I felt her arms around my waist as I was cooking. "So my man is also a chef?" She said in a fit of giggles. "Good 'cause I can't cook worth shit." She stated. "Well then I guess we'll have Rian cook or get take-out." I said. She kissed my shoulder blade and it sent a chill down my spine. God, this girl. She was just amazing. I got the bacon finished and she took Jack a plate. "Yay!" I heard him say. Brooke came back into the kitchen. Zack had just left. He and Rian were going to back to the hotel to inform Matt on what had happened yesterday.Jordan and Tori had gone home to sleep off their hangovers. Brooke and I ate together in the kitchen and in the living room we could here Jack watching Skins. That show was so weird. Brooke and I laughed and talked. She looked at me with her 'Why me' look, but this one was 'why did I get stuck with the weird ATL member.' I laughed and reached for her hand. She didn't flinch like she normally did, she actually relaxed. When you first meet her you wouldn't think she smiled alot, but once you got to know her she smiled all the time. Her cuts were scabbing over which I admit was kind of gross. We finished eating and she washed dishes. This time I went up behind her and held her waist, I gently moved her hair away from the left side of her neck and kissed it. "Alex." "Yeah?" I asked I was in a sort of daze. "What are you doing?" She asked me in a fit of laughter. "Just making my girl laugh." I said as she turned the water off and turned around. Her back was up against the counter and I was leaning into her. She didn't hesitate in the matter of kissing me, but it was sadly interrupted by Jordan. She walked in the kitchen. "Get a room!" I pulled my lips away from Brooke's and gave Jordan the 'you know I will' look. "And that is just a figure of speech!" She added after my look. Brooke laughed and slipped from me, grabbing my hand. She pulled me into the living room. I sat down next to Jack as the girls fumbled through movies to find something to watch. They both finally decided on Fast and the Furious. I assumed it was because Brian (Paul Walker) wasn't exactly a bad looking guy. Brooke got up in the middle of the movie because she remembered she needed to check the messages on her phone in case her parents had tried to call. I sat there laughing as Jack and Jordan made some weird commentary on the movie.
-Brooke's P.O.V-
I got up and went to check my messages on my phone. I had one message from my mom. "Brooke, honey, your father and I have decided to move to Florida. Your grandmother is very ill. So we're leaving you the house. We'll pay the morgage until you move and/or get out of college. We love you. Call us when you get a chance. Oh and your brother moved in with his girlfriend. Did you hear they're getting married? Any-who we'll talk to you later. Bye." Oh my god. My grandma is sick, my parents moved to Florida and my brother moved in with his annoyingly bitchy girlfriend. What the hell is going on? I am being pranked of something? Where are the cameras? Wow. I didn't know how to react. I walked back in to the room just as the movie ended. "Brooke? Is everything okay? You look like you've just seen a ghost." Jordan said. "Yeah. Umm my grandmother is ill so my parents have decided to move down there to take care of her. They're going to pay the mortgage on this place so I can stay until I move and/or get out of college. And my brother moved out and is marrying his bitchy ass girlfriend." I explained. "Oh my god." Jack said. "Alex, this gives me and idea." I said. "What?" He looked at me wearily. "Why don't you and the guys move in here? Instead of staying in a hotel." I said. "Brooke that'd be awesome!" Alex said. "I know! I come up with the best ideas." I said. "Keep telling yourself that." Jordan said rolling her eyes. I slapped her in the back of the head. "Ouchy!" She yelled. "Aw come on! That did not hurt!" I said. "You're right." She laughed. "But I can make it hurt." I added. She jumped on the couch and tried to hide behind Alex. I knew that was a mistake. I walked up to Alex and attached my lips to his. He moaned. "People are present!" She yelled and I quickly spun Alex around and grabbed her. "No!" She screamed. I had her pinned on the couch slapping her in the head. She started laughing and I collapsed in the floor. Alex stood there looking at me weird. I pulled him down beside me and kissed him again. We both smiled. We both turned only to see Jordan and Jack sucking face. And by sucking face I mean it! It looked like they were trying to either suck or bite each other's lips off. I laughed but as soon as I did Zack walked in. I knew he really liked Jordan and here she was making out with his best friend. He looked at me and I immediately stopped laughing. "Zack." I said softly. He shook his head and ran off. I knew exactly where he was going. "I'll go talk to him." Alex said. "No," I stopped him as he started to get up. "Let me do it." I looked him in the eyes. "Okay, but be careful. You know he has a temper." He warned. "I know. He's my best friend, he won't hurt me Alex." I gave him a look that made him believe that I was right. He let go of my arm and I ran for the door. I knew I didn't have time to even get in my car so I took off running. I was right. I ran about a mile. When I saw him sitting on the edge of the lake. I started walking slow so I didn't startle him. "I knew it." He said. I guess he knew it was me. "Knew what?" I asked. "That she never liked me." I felt bad for him. I put my arm around him and leaned on his shoulder. "Zack. I'm sorry. She's just always been in love with Jack and Alex. I was the one that was in love with you." I laughed. "But then I met Alex and things changed but not everything. You're still my favorite band member and I still want guitar lessons!" I said nudging his ribs. He laughed but then got quiet again. "Brooke. You're right. You are my best friend and I can tell you anything, right?" He was looking at me now. "Yes. Of course!" I told him. "Well you know the other night when Jack 'fell.'" He said with quotations around the word fell. "Yeah?" "Well Jack didn't fall. I pushed him." My jaw dropped. "Zack, why?" I asked. Tears starting to form in my eyes. He looked at me sadly. "I'm sorry. I just...he was talking about her. He was talking about how good he thought she'd be in bed and how he planned on 'doing her' as soon as possible. I got angry and shoved him. I didn't know the stairs were there. I was just planning on pushing him into a wall but I underestimated where the wall was and he went tumbling down the stairs." He was tearing up now. "Zack. Thank you for trusting me enough to tell me." I said leaning my head on his shoulder again. He put his arm around me. Pulling me into his chest. It was kind of cold out for a night in June. We stayed like that for a few minutes then he moved my face up to look at him. Gently. "But the thing is I think I've fallen for someone else." He said, looking at me. "Me?" I said, confused. "Yes, Brooke. You." Woah. I did not see this coming. He sank his head lower and closer to my face. I knew he was going to kiss me and why wasn't I doing anything to stop it? Because I remembered the first time we kissed on stage. It was great. Alex wouldn't have to find out. I was just trying to make him feel better. His lips touched mine. They moved in sync but not like when Alex kissed me. The silence of the night was broken. "Brooke?!" I heard from behind us. Shit. Alex had followed me. He was standing there looking incredibly hurt. I wanted to burst into tears right then. He thought I was cheating on him. I knew it. But I wasn't. Was I? No, I wouldn't do that to him. I couldn't. I promised I wouldn't. I was just being a good friend. Zack looked between Alex and me. He looked at us apologetically but before I could even open my mouth to explain Alex started running off. I knew he was going back to the house to grab his stuff and leave. I called Jack. "Yello?" he said. "Jack! Alex is coming back to the house. Whatever you do don't let him leave!" I said. "Okie Dokie, Barakitty." and with that I hung up. I looked at Zack. "Brooke. I'm so sorry." He said. "Yeah. You better be." I said, slapped him, and ran off. I had to get back to the house quick.
Brooke and I helped Jack into her house while Zack held the door open.
