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
BROOKSI knew Crystal was going to try to get out of this date once she saw the place. From what I have seen since I met her, she is a simple girl. I know she would be happy eating wings or even a burger but I need to show her that she is worth more than a 6 dollar meal. I need to show her I am going to do my best to give her what she deserves. I love her and I don't ever want to lose her. She is my reason for being a better person and I know if I was to lose her again, I would probably end up worse than I was when I met her. I know I would end up drinking again and wouldn't be able to stop myself. Once we were seated, I could tell she was a little uncomfortable so I reached for her hand and she reached for mine. I rubbed her hand and she smiled. I said relax cutie. It's just a restaurant. I am not worried about what the total is going to be. I will take care of it and you. She relaxed in her seat and the waiter came and asked what we wanted to drink and if we wanted to go ahead and
CRYSTALI laid there in the backseat of Brooks' car while he cleaned my juices off of me and thought about what we had just done. I don't know what came over me and made me want to do that but I liked it. I feel alive when I am with Brooks and I don't ever want this feeling to go away. When he was finished cleaning us both off, I sat up and slid my panties back on I fixed my dress and climbed back in the front seat. I lowered the visor and fixed my hair and makeup in the mirror. Brooks climbed back up front and asked if I was ok. I told him I was fine and said I enjoyed what we had just done. He smiled and said he enjoyed it too. I told him I didn't want to go home, that I wanted to stay with him tonight but I also didn't want to make my dad mad by being out all night. Brooks said,“Why don't we go back to your house and stay in the living room on the couch? You'll be home and we will be out in the open so your dad won't think anything happened between us." I said that sounded like a
BROOKSWhen I got home, Jonah was sitting on the couch. He turned and asked where I had been. I told him I fell asleep on Crystal's couch after we got back from our date last night. He smiled at me and said, “You're welcome for that." I said welcome for what? He said,“I am the one who planned that date remember?"I laughed and said yeah I remember and thank you for planning that for me. He asked how she liked the dinner and walk and I said she loved the food after she argued with me about just getting wings and as far as the walk goes, She ended up crying happy tears when I gave her the promise ring. Jonah said,“So you are serious about this? You aren't just doing this to get her back in bed?" I said why would I give her a promise ring just to get her in bed, Jonah? I love her and yet I hurt her. I am doing what I feel is the right thing for me. I want to be with her and I don't ever what to hurt her again. That ring was a promise to her, that I will do everything I can possibly
CRYSTALWhen I opened the door for Brooks, I was surprised to see Jonah pop out from behind him. After I let them in, I excused myself so I could go put something else on. When I came back into the living room, Brooks and Jonah were sitting on the couch and Brooks had the TV remote in his hand flipping channels. I laughed and said you just look so comfy on my couch like you live here or something. Brooks looked over at me and said, “Well, I practically do live here. I am here more than I am at home now."Jonah said, “You can keep him here. I'll take his room when he moves in." I burst out laughing and said I don't know how my dad would like me moving him in. looks like you will be keeping your room, Jonah. I went and sat down next to Brooks and he put his hand on my leg. Jonah looked at me and made a gagging face. I shook my head and said get used to it Jonah. We hold hands and cuddle when he is here. I asked Jonah what he had been up to and he rubbed his neck and said not much. I
BROOKS I knew seeing her dad with that woman was bothering her but I didn't want to push her into talking about it if she wasn't ready to. After we ate, I took her and Jonah bowling. I knew it would take her mind off of her dad. At first, she still seemed bothered but after her second time up to bowl, she got more into it. Jonah won the first game and Crystal won the second. I haven't bowled in years so I just let them have fun competing. When we left the bowling alley, I asked Crystal if she was ready to head home and she said," Honestly, No. I really don't feel like going home right now."I said Ok. Why don't you come back to the house with us and you and I can hang out in my room? She said that was fine with her and we headed to the house. After we went inside Jonah said he was going to his room so Crystal and I went to my room and she laid back on my bed and stared at the ceiling. I laid down next to her and asked her what was on her mind. She said,"Nothing is
CRYSTALI was going to talk to my dad but I couldn't I was still too upset to bring it up. I decided to go back to Brooks's and I didn't have to be around my dad. I knocked on Brooks's window and he came and let me in. When we walked into his room, I saw he had his TV on and I saw Hero Tiffin on his TV screen. I asked what he was watching and he said he was about to watch After We Fell. I said really? He nodded and I said can I watch it with you? I haven't seen this one yet. He said of course. He asked if I was hungry and I shook my head. He gave me a look and I said fine I'll take a sandwich if you have ham. He smiled and said,"I will be back in a few minutes cutie. Sit down and get comfortable."He left the room and I sat down and took my shoes off. When he came back he had made me 2 sandwiches and brought some chips. I smiled and said thank you. He walked back out of the room and came back with a bottle of water. He sat it down next to the bed and he walked around and laid back do
