Chapter 24

CRYSTAL

After my run with Brooks 2 days ago, I started to feel a little better inside. I wasn't down like I normally am. He makes everything better. I got on the bus to head home from school and I fell asleep I woke up to Jonah sitting next to me and he didn't say anything. I asked what was up and he just looked at me. It was as if he was searching for an answer without even asking a question. Finally, he said,

“Why did you sleep with Brooks?"

I sat up from the position I was in and said why would you even ask me that Jonah? He said,

“Brooks is acting weird and I can't figure out what is going on."

I said well maybe you don't need to try to figure out what is going on with him. I said give your brother some space and let him get through whatever weirdness he is dealing with. He said,

“The thing is, he wasn't acting this weird until I told him I poked a hole in his cond*ms."

I looked at him and asked why he did that and if he knew what could happen if Brooks slept with someone.
