BROOKSAfter walking Crystal home, I couldn't sleep. I kept thinking about how she didn't say she loved me before I walked away. I went and sat on the back porch until the sun came up. I have been up all night trying to figure out what caused her to slip back into this state of mind. I can't think of anything I did, unless it was the house and what happened there. I don't think anything is going to happen. I'm pretty sure nothing came out until I pulled out. Damnit. I am always careful. Why didn't I think to put one on this time? F*CK! I said out loud. Yesterday was supposed to be a happy day for me and for her but I f*cked that up. I always do. I went inside and got dressed. I told Jonah I was going out for the day and I wouldn't be back until later tonight. He asked where I was going and I told him I had some things to do for the shop. I left the house and headed to my house. I didn't know what I was going to do when I got there but it was my place and I needed my own space to think

CRYSTALI hung up the phone on Brooks and screamed. I am so damn mad at him right now. Thankfully my dad isn't home otherwise he would be coming in at any moment asking what's wrong. I feel as if I am on the verge of a breakdown so I grab my prescription and take one of my pills. Why does do this? I didn't want to tell him what was wrong with me. I wanted to work it out on my own but no. He wouldn't leave me in the field to deal with my issues. He had to ask me to tell him what was going on. I open up and am honest and he can't handle hearing what I said so he runs off and gets drunk. My phone rings and I see his name. I ignore it. I put it on do not disturb. Then I get a text. I didn't even open it. What in the hell is wrong with him? As much as I want to answer and curse him out again, I told him not to call me again. I doubt he is stupid enough to drive like that so I guess I need to prepare myself for Jonah to knock on my window like last time. I pulled my blinds up and sat there

BROOKS When I left Crystal's, I went to my mom's and told them about the house. Jonah was a little upset at first but when I told him He could move into my old room he got over it. My mom told me she was proud of me for taking this step in life and said she would be happy to help decorate it. I laughed and told her I already had a female to do that. She raised her brow at me and I said fine mom I'll spill it. Remember when I asked you about thinking about someone constantly? She nodded. I said well it wasn't some chick. It was me. I met a young woman who makes my heart race, makes me weak when I am around her and makes me want to be better. I met a young woman who unintentionally captured my floating heart in the palm of her hands. This young woman sees something in me that I want everyone around me to see. I'm sick of being labled as damaged. She is healing me, mom and I love her. My mom asked about her and I said before you freak on me, she is younger than me. I could see the worry

CRYSTALAfter catching my breath, I stared up at Brooks. The look in his eyes was something I'd never seen before. I don't even know how to describe it. His eyes were lighter than normal. I asked him why he didn't f*ck me. He said,"Crystal, I don't want you to think that s*x is the only way you can feel good. I want you to see and feel more intimacy and passion. You deserve that. You don't deserve to just be f*cked."He asked me how it felt to have my eyes covered and be touched that way. I told him I really couldn't find a word other than amazing. He smiled and said,"See that is what I am talking about. I want you to feel the love and passion between us." I said I do feel it Brooks but I want to feel you inside me. Hitting the spot that makes me slip into another world. I really enjoyed what you just did but I want you inside me right now making me forget everything that is bothering me.He stood up, took his clothes off, and then picked me up. He carried me into the kitchen and s

BROOKSWhen we pulled into my mom's driveway, Ray was getting out of his truck and Jonah was standing on the porch. I asked Jonah where mom was and he said she went to the store but should be back any minute. I walked inside with Ray and began taking my bed apart and helped him get my dresser out of the house and loaded up. As we were heading back in to get my bed frame and mattress, My mom pulled into the driveway and got out. She opened the trunk and told Jonah to help her unload the groceries and put them in the back of my explorer. I asked her what she was doing and she told me to hush and said she bought me some food and supplies to start me off. I smiled and told my mom thank you but I didn't need her to do that. She told me to shut it or she would come organize my house and clean it. I laughed and said, fine mom. You win. Thank you for getting me all that. My mom closed the back of my car and walked up to the porch and smiled at Crystal. I said mom, this is Crystal. Crystal thi

CRYSTALIt's been 2 months since Brooks moved into his house and I love being able to stay the night with him. My dad wasn't really ok with me staying over on school nights but I proved to him I could still go to school every day and be there on time. Brooks and my dad went in together and bought me a car so I could get to school and Brooks not have to take me every day. I waited on the last-period bell to ring so I can get out of here and head to the shop. Until I get the job at the daycare after I graduate in 3 months, I am going to work there and help Brooks out. His card shop has been doing pretty well. I didn't realize just how many kids actually play these card games. Brooks is so good with the kids that come in there. He gives them tips and helps the beginners by having card matches with them. I for the life of me can not understand how to play these games but it melts my heart watching Brooks with the kids. He has been smiling a lot more and his mood has been peaceful. Brooks'

BROOKSWhen we left Crystal's dads, Crystal fell asleep in the car. The ride back to my house was quiet except for Crystal snoring. When we pulled up at the house, I woke her up and she asked where we were. I said we are at home babe. She laid her head back on the seat and went back to sleep. I laughed and got out. I walked over to the passenger side and got her out. I carried her inside and laid her down on the bed. I went into the kitchen and got a glass of water and some aspirin. I went back into the bedroom and set it on the table next to the bed. I leaned down and kissed her forehead and before I walked out of the room, I heard her mumble something. I walked back over to the bed and asked her what she said. She turned her head with her eyes closed and said,"I love you so much and I can't wait until we have a baby."I stood there not sure what to say to her because I know she is not in her right mind. I finally said just get some sleep baby. We will talk tomorrow. I went into the

CRYSTALWhen I got home, my dad informed me that Viola was going to be moving in soon. I have a week to try and figure out how I feel about it and here I am still trying to work it out in my head that they are together. It's still hard to think about my dad with anyone other than my mom, but I guess I need to just suck it up and deal with it because Viola will be moving in even if I am not OK with it. Tomorrow is Brooks's birthday and I still haven't figured out what I am going to do for him. I figured I'd call Jonah later and ask him what I should do. I did all my chores and finished my laundry. I went and sat outside on the front porch and began writing in my journal about everything that had been going on. When I finished writing, I realized I had been outside for a while. It was getting late and I went inside to start dinner. My dad came into the kitchen and asked if I wanted any help and I told him I would love for him to help me and that I missed us cooking dinner together. He t
