BROOKS When I got back to the house from walking with Crystal, I sat on my bed and thought about everything she said. She was right. How could she trust me and what I say? I lied to her and hurt her when I finally told the truth. She is the first girl I have ever felt this way about and I hurt her. I put my head in my hands and I broke down and cried for a while. I heard my name and I looked up to find Jonah standing at my door. He asked what was wrong and I said I screwed up and I hurt her. I am so f*cking stupid Jonah. He asked if I had asked Crystal for forgiveness and I said yes I did and she said she would try but I know it's not something she will forgive me for overnight. I know I have to earn her trust back but I don't know how or where to start. He said, “Brooks why don't you start with writing her a letter? Write her and tell her how you truly feel and tell her everything about you that she doesn't know. Tell her the truth about why you re the way you are." I looked at Jo

CRYSTALMy dad just came in and woke me to let me know he is about to be leaving for work. I texted Brooks to see if he was on his way down and he answered saying he was at the front door but was afraid to ring the doorbell. I got up and went to open the door for him. As I was making my way back to my room, I heard my dad telling Brooks that the numbers for him and the doctor were on the fridge and he told Brooks thank you for sitting with me. I rolled my eyes because he made it sound like I was 10 and needed a babysitter. I went back to my room and crawled back into my bed. I closed my eyes and was trying to go back to sleep but there was a knock on my door. I huffed and said open the door I am not getting back up. The door opened and Brooks said, “Where should I be while you are in here? I don't need your dad coming back and me be in your room and him freak out on me." I laughed and said go sit on the couch. I know you remember where it is. You know how to work the tv as well. I'l

CRYSTALI must have fallen asleep while rereading Brooks's letter because when I woke up the letter was stuck to the side of my face. I looked at the time and saw it was 7:45. I got up and saw I had a text from my dad. I opened the text and it said he saw I was still sleeping and decided not to wake me when he left. He said he let Brooks in and he told me to have a good day. I texted my dad back and told him I had just gotten up and I told him to have a good day as well. When I walked out of my room I looked into the living room and saw Brooks asleep on the couch. I went and grabbed my phone and took a picture of him because he looked so cute sleeping. I went to the bathroom and washed my face, threw my hair up in a messy bun, and used the bathroom. I walked into the living room and sat down next to Brooks on the couch. I leaned down and kissed his cheek. Brooks opened his eyes and asked me what I was doing. I blushed and said I kissed your cheek to say thank you for doing this for me

BROOKSWhen I got home from Crystal's, Jonah was sitting on my bed and asked me where I had been. I laughed and said I was with Crystal, dad. He cut his eyes at me and said I wasn't funny. I said quit acting like my dad then. I was out with Crystal and her dad eating dinner. They treated me to dinner for sitting with her. He said, “sitting had better be all you are doing with her right now Brooks." I said we haven't done anything but talk, Jonah. I want to prove to her I love her before we do anything else. I want her to trust me again before we even think about anything else. He asked if she said anything about the letter I wrote her and I asked how he knew I wrote it and gave it to her. I said never mind. I know she told you. I said she told me how she felt about it and we talked some. She even kissed me after I told her I wanted to apologize to all the girls I hurt in hopes of making it right. I told Jonah I didn't even kiss her when she grabbed my shirt even though I knew she was

BROOKSWhen I got home from Crystal's, I decided to go ahead and plan out a dinner for us. I wanted to do it on her birthday, but at the same time, I didn't want to take her from her dad that day. I called Jonah into my room and told him I needed help planning a dinner date for the day after Crystal's birthday. He looked at me and his mouth was wide open. He said, “Brooks, are you feeling ok?" I laughed and said I am fine Jonah. He said, “You have never taken a girl out." I said I know but with Crystal, I want to be different. With her, I feel different. I want to be the best boyfriend I can be for her. With what I did to her and what she has had to go through in her life, she deserves to be treated like a queen and I am going to do everything I can to make her feel like she is. Jonah just stood there staring at me. I said I promise I am not on drugs nor have I been drinking. I really want to be different for her. I love her Jonah. I finally found someone I can be myself with and

CRYSTAL It's Friday and today is my 18th birthday. I get to spend the rest of the day with my dad later. He told me he was getting off early and was going to go buy us some steaks to cook out on the grill when he got home from work. I stayed home from school today since I am caught up with all my assignments and I am passing all my classes with straight A's. I haven't changed out of my PJs yet so I am just lounging around in my shorts and tank top. I am really surprised that I haven't heard from Brooks today. I figured he would have been the first to call or text me to wish me happy birthday but Jonah was. Maybe he was up all night and is still asleep. I decided that since I was home today that I was going to go through my room and do a deep clean and put some of my stuff up that would be seen as childish, like my stuffed animals that are on a shelf and my favorite doll from when I was younger. I also took some of the posters I had on my wall down and put them in the same box. I don'

BROOKS Watching that movie with Crystal, had me feeling some type of way. She warned me that is was about a toxic relationship but I didn't think it was that bad. The main male character was like me in ways and the main female character was like her. I kind of felt like I was watching a movie about us just the plot was a little different and I am not British. When the movie was over Crystal wiped her face and I could tell she had been letting the tears fall. I asked if she was ok and she told me she was fine. She said the movie just got to her but I knew it was more than that. I knew Crystal was thinking about what I did to her. I stood up and told her to come with me. She asked where we were going and I said to sit outside. I pulled out a chair and sat down and pulled Crystal into my lap. I rested my head on her back and said I am really sorry for what I did cutie. Crystal turned to where she was looking at me and said,“Brooks, why are you bringing that back up? It's my birthday a

CRYSTALAfter Brooks left, I went inside and took a shower. When I got out, I went to my room and got my journal out and began writing about my birthday. When I finished writing, I started to draw the necklace he got me and the next thing I knew I was waking up with my face on my journal and the sun was out. I looked at the time and saw it was 11 a.m. I got up and saw I had 3 text messages. One was from my dad letting me know he had to go into work, one was from Jonah telling me he was glad I had a good birthday and the other was from Brooks. I opened his text and when I saw that he was going to be coming down at 11:15. I jumped up and put my hair up in a messy bun, went to the bathroom and washed my face and brushed my teeth. I ran back to my room and put my journal on my desk and put my dirty clothes in the basket. I went into the living room and sat down on the couch. I turned the TV on and flipped through the channels. A few minutes later there was a knock at the door. I ran to th
