-Shawn-
Thankfully I woke up earlier than Brooke the next day because I was afraid she would have left.
I unpacked her bags for her and then went next door.
"Hey did any of you guys talk to the manager about Brooke?"
No response.
Everybody was sleeping.
"Of course." I mumbled.
I went back to our room to find Brooke brushing her teeth.
She finished and looked up at me. She came closer to me and I grabbed her waist closing the distance between us.
She smirked and kissed me.
I pulled away.
"Minty." I whispered. She laughed which made me smile.
"Do you realize how much I love you?" I whispered.
She smirked pressing her lips once again to mine. We walked over to the bed while still kissing. She pulled away, kissed me once more and then looked down at me.
"Your coming to Magcon today right?" I asked.
She scoffed.
"No."
"Why?"
"You know why." She said. "I told you I'm leaving."
"You're not leaving."
"Shawn,....." She groaned.
"Brooke,......" I imitated.
"Trust me." I said.
She looked into my eyes and I looked into hers.
She smiled.
"Fine." She whispered.
-Magcon-
-Shawn-
Our manager had allowed us to reveal Brooke to the public but not as my girlfriend. If he liked the outcome maybe she could join Magcon with us. Mahogany was thrilled about that.
Brooke had put on a pair of leggings and my sweatshirt which went just below her butt. She was off stage while everyone else, including myself, was on stage.
"Now guys," Aaron said.
"Let's get serious for a moment," I added.
"We'd like to bring out someone very special," Nash said.
"She's been there for us this whole time," Taylor said.
"Yeah," the Jacks agreed.
"Brooklyn Sanders everybody!" Mahogany yelled.
Brooklyn walked out, a big smile on her face and her cheeks a light shade if pink.
I so badly wanted to go and hug her and kiss her.
But I kept my place on the floor.
I pretended to cough and blew her a kiss that only she could see.
She smirked.
"So now were going to do a Q&A!" Cam exclaimed. "While reminiscing about some of our times with the wonderful Brooklyn Sanders." Gilinsky added.
She blushed.
She came and sat down next to me. She smiled. I hadn't told her but she somehow seemed to know that they couldn't know about us.
The first girl came up to the mic to ask a question.
"What's the nicest thing you've ever seen Brooklyn do?"
"She helped her friend get ready for a date." Nash said.
"She comforted me when I was upset about something." Cam confessed.
Brooke smiled at him.
She looked at me.
"One time I touched her straightener and she fixed my hand all up."
The crowd laughed and I smiled and blushed.
More people came up and asked questions.
Brooke answered a few. Everyone she answered with a smile and she would laugh occasionally.
Some where in the middle twizzlers had been brought on stage.
"I remember one time," Taylor said. He bit into a Twizzler and pulled it. "Brooke walked in on me in my underwear."
I could tell my face got red.
"Please!" She shouted.
"That's what she said." Taylor said.
I was a little annoyed but I knew it was in Taylor's nature to do that kind of stuff. I could tell Brooke was worried I would get jealous.
"That never happened." She said. She looked at the audience, "Never, ever." She said through her teeth.
"Aw come on baby you know you want it to." He winked at her.
The audience ooooed and Brooke blushed but made gagging noises.
I smiled.
Soon enough it was over and we went backstage.
But not before our Mahogany spoke up.
"Hey y'all!" She yelled into her mic.
They went wild.
"Who wants to see more of Brooke?!" She yelled.
They went wild.
"Alright thank you everybody!" She yelled.
We all went offstage.
As soon as we got off stage I grabbed Brooke and spun her around. She giggled and wrapped her legs around me. She pressed her lips to mine as we still spun around.
"I can not tell you how much I've been wanting to do that." I said.
She smirked.
"Hey lovebirds!" Taylor yelled.
I was holding her thighs and her legs were wrapped around me. We looked at him.
"Let's go!" He said.
We weren't doing meet and greets today so we just left.
I just carried her to the car.
When we were driving home it started raining. Brooke smiled.
When we reached the hotel all the guys got out of the car.
"You guys coming?!" Can yelled over the rain, that was now coming down really hard.
"Um, no-" I said.
Brooke looked at me.
"Okay." Cam said. "Suit yourself!"
-Brooklyn-
"Suit yourself!" Cam yelled.
I looked at Shawn.
He leaned forward and whispered something to the driver.
"You-" I paused. I kissed him in between each word. "Are so sweet."
"I know." He blushed.
I giggled.
Then we arrived at where we were going.
It was this huge park. It was filled with all sorts of trees and it had swing sets and all that kind of stuff. Only it was empty. Because it was down pouring.
Shawn opened the door and pulled me out into the rain. He tipped the driver and he drove off.
I wrapped my arms around his neck.
"Guess what?" He said. He grabbed my hand and pulled me over to a picnic table. He sat down and pulled me on his lap.
My hair was sticking to my face as our lips crashed together. He pushed it out of the way, his fingers getting entangled in it as he did.
He pulled away and moved his hands down to my waist.
"Do you know how much I love you?" He asked.
"I have a little idea." I responded.
He smirked and crashed his lips to mine once more.
-1 Month 'Til Magcon Ends-
-Shawn-
"I'm going to miss you guys." Brooke whimpered. She was in my arms on the hotel room bed.
"Yeah," Taylor said.
We all sighed.
"We can still hang out." Nash said.
"You just have to visit us in California." He said.
She laughed.
"What and you just sit on your butt."
"That's the plan." Matt said.
She laughed more.
I loved her laugh.
"You guys are going to stay with us in Canada for a little right?" I asked.
"Yeah," Nash sighed. "I have to talk to Chloe."
"About what?" Brooke asked biting her lip.
She was so cute.
"Us." He responded.
"Aw,...." She cooed.
"Shut up." He said. He blushed. She looked up at me and smirked.
I smiled back.
"So Brooke," Nash said, changing the subject. "Have you decided what your going to do with your life?"
"Psychology." She responded smiling.
"5 months ago you were looking at photography." Johnson said. "How did you get from that to psychology?"
"Well I said to myself friends are crazy." She said. "And then I thought what makes them crazy? Or in fact what makes everyone crazy?"
Everyone laughed.
She smiled.
"You're never going to pursue a career traveling and touring?" Nash asked.
"No." She said. "I don't know what I would do."
"Brooke you're freakin hilarious!" Cam exclaimed. "You'd be like a standup comedian."
She laughed.
Our manager had made Brooke an official part of Magcon now that he had realized how famous she was getting. The public didn't know about our relationship. Surprisingly enough. It was almost a year since we met and started dating. She could make it like most of us probably would, touring around the world. But she chose not to. And on some level I understood that. This was a crazy life and a part of hers was already dragged into it because of me. I know it was tough sometimes but she never once complained. She was just as famous as all of us were. But I understood completely why she wouldn't want to do that.
I wrapped my arm tighter around her and pulled her closer to me.
She smirked and continued talking with the boys.
I wasn't even paying attention to what they were saying. I hadn't realized I was staring at her.
"Shawn!" Brooke screamed.
"What?" I said.
"Why are you staring at me? I called you like 5 times."
"Sorry." I said. "You're just so beautiful."
She smiled and blushed.
Then she put her hand on the back of my neck and pulled my lips down to hers.
"Awww get a room you two!" Taylor yelled.
She smirked against my lips and pulled away. She kept her arms wrapped around my neck. Her legs were placed over mine.
"Do you want to watch a movie now?" She asked.
"Sure!" I sighed. I feel like all we do is watch movies.
"Oh come on guys!" Carter exclaimed.
"Yeah!" Aaron agreed.
"I feel like all we do is watch movies." Cameron groaned.
"Then let's go somewhere!" Brooke suggested.
"Where?" I asked.
"I heard of this sorority party at a college I was visiting here." Brooke said.
"Yassss." Matt said. "Let's do that."
"I agree!" Taylor yelled.
"Okay, let's go!"
-Sorority Party-
-Brooklyn-
Music was blasting in my ears. You could hear the loud bass.
I had only ever been to a party like this once. In my sophomore year. I was dating Cam at the time. He stayed by me the whole time. It was really sweet. We danced and talked. It was honestly one of the best nights of my life.
Everyone had kind of spread out. It was just Shawn and I.
"I'm gonna go get a drink!" He yelled.
"Do you want anything?!"
I shook my head no.
He came back with a red solo cup in his hand. He put his arm around me. We just watched everybody else. We watched Gilinsky hit on a couple people. We would laugh. As the night went on I didn't realize Shawn was slowly acting different.
"Come on Brooke let's dance!" He yelled. He chugged the rest of his drink and set it down. He grabbed my hand and pulled me into the middle of the room. He placed his hands on my waist and started to sway his against mine. I laughed.
"Come on babe!" He yelled. "You're not getting into it enough." I laughed and started to dance more. I grabbed his hands and he spun me around.
When the song ended and the new one started I looked around and saw Cam sitting on the stairs all by himself.
"Hey um I'll be right back." I said to Shawn.
I left Shawn there and went over to Cam.
"Hey are you okay?" I asked sitting next to him.
He looked at me and motioned for me to follow him. I followed him outside to the balcony. It was quiet and getting dark.
"It's just so loud in there." He said.
"Yeah." I sighed. "We should probably get going soon."
"What time is it?" He asked.
I pulled out my phone. "10:40."
"Do you want to go?" He asked.
"Yeah in a little."
I hadn't realized until we got out here but my head was throbbing.
I put my head in my hands and groaned.
He rubbed my back.
I just let him.
I sighed and stood up.
"Okay, let's go." I said.
We walked in and gathered everybody. We all piled into the car. I counted. We were missing somebody. Shawn! How could I have forgotten him!
I ran back inside with Nash and we tried to find him. I found him with a red solo cup in his hand talking to some other guy.
I smiled at the guy.
"Come on Shawn we have to go." I said pulling him.
"No come on!" He whined. "I want to stay!"
"Shawn it's 11 o'clock." I pestered.
"What are you 12?" He whined.
I pulled him and he wouldn't budge. I tugged with all my might and he fell on top of me. I groaned.
I could feel his breath.
I took a deep breath.
"Are you drunk?!" I yelled at Shawn.
"I guess!" He yelled back and laughed.
"That's not funny!" I yelled. "Now let's go!"
I finally got him in the car and the driver drove us to the hotel. I practically dragged him up to our hotel room.
"Goodnight guys!" I yelled.
I unlocked the door and we went inside. I shut the door.
"Brooke," Shawn said.
I sighed and sat on the bed.
"Yes Shawn?"
"I love you." He said. "You know that right?" He turned to me.
"Yeah." I laughed.
"I don't think you do." He said.
"Like I love you love you." He said.
"I know." I smiled.
He smiled a goofy smile. He sighed and fell backwards on the bed.
He sat up next to me and pressed his lips to mine. I kissed him back even though I knew it was wrong.
"Shawn-" I pushed him away. "We can't do this."
"Why not?!" He yelled standing up.
"Shawn your drunk." I said.
"No I'm not!" He defended. "Come on." He pushed me against the wall. I groaned as I felt a stinging at the back of my head.
"Stop Shawn." I said through my teeth.
"No!" He said. "I love you too damn much to stop." He mumbled.
"I love you too damn much to let you do this." I pushed him onto the bed.
"Lay down." He did as I said.
I covered him up with the blanket and kissed him on the forehead.
"I'll be back." I whispered.
I grabbed my pajamas and a few other things and threw them in a small bag.
I went next door to the boys room. Most of them were in their rooms sleeping. Cam, Matt, and Nash were all watching tv in the main room with also had two beds.
"Can I stay here tonight?" I asked.
"Why what's wrong with Shawn?" Cam asked.
"He's drunk." I said.
"Wow, drunk Shawn." Nash said. "Never saw that coming."
I laughed.
"Of course Brooke." Matt said.
"Thanks." I smiled.
I went and put on a tank top and shorts. I took my hair down.
I took my makeup off and brushed my teeth. When I walked back out Cam was gone.
"Where'd Cam go?" I asked.
"To stay with Shawn." Matt said.
"To make sure he doesn't bring himself any harm." Nash added.
"Oh." I sighed. "Good let him deal with it." I sat on the edge of the bed and put my head in my hands. Nash came over and rubbed my back.
Then my phone started ringing. I grabbed it.
It was my mom. I have Nash a weird look and he shrugged his shoulders going back over to Matt to watch the movie.
I answered it.
"Hey mom what's up?" I asked. "Why are you calling me this late?"
"Brooklyn?" I heard a man's voice ask.
"Yeah." I responded. Why did I just tell this man who I was. "Who the hell are you?" I asked.
"I'm your father."
