Brooke's pov- (Chapter 34)

"Why would you say that?" A male voice questions. Causing me to jump.

"Who said that?" I inquire, standing up and looking around the yard.

"I did." A guy around nineteen states, walking out of the bushes.

"What the heck man?" I whisper shout, anger boiling inside me.

"Sorry! I live next door, and heard you... I thought I would check on you." He surrenders, raising up his hands. My anger simmers, and my shoulders drop.

"Oh... Thanks... Umm you are?" I ask, walking down the porch, and over to the bushes.

"Carter, and you?" Cart inquires. A smirk making it's way on his face.

"Brooke, nice to meet you." I state grinning.

"So Brooke, why do you think you're destroying this family?" Carter questions, using a Dark Vadar voice.

"Shits been happening." I trail off. Realizing that I'm talking to a stranger.

"I get it... The same thing happened to me.. Then I moved out..." Carter slowly opens up to me. Spilling a secret he's been holding on to. I can tell by the way he pauses so often.

"I couldn't do that... Not to my sister... Or my best friends." I whisper, realizing how distant I've been from them.

"Then you know you're not destroying them... Goodnight." Carter states, disappearing back into the bushes. Soon enough the sound of a door, slamming closed echoes around the neighborhood.

"Goodnight." I mumble sadly, before heading inside, with the Christmas blanket.

"Hey. You here to join us?" Derek asks. As he finishes setting up the table.

"Yeah. Just let me say goodbye to Cody's parents." I reply smiling.

"Don't bother. They already left." Derek states. Placing the food, and drinks on the table.

"You were always the formal one!" I laugh. Missing these types of dinners, and the fun we would have.

"Always. The Best conversations happen, with my dinners... You've got to admit it." Derek chuckles, putting on the Christmas lights in the kitchen.

"Always." I dreamily sigh. Glancing at the clock I realize it's only six pm.

"I'll go get everyone, while you wash up." Derek states. As he makes a disgusted face.

"HA HA! Very funny Der!" I fake laugh. Sticking my tongue out, as I head to the washroom.

"You love me Boo!" Derek shouts, running upstairs.

"Mmmmmh." I mumble. Washing my hands.

"What do you think is up with Brooke?" Liam asks Cody, as I'm drying my hands.

"You know she gets down around Christmas, Liam." Cody whispers. His voice is strained, not wanting to talk about the past.

"Shouldn't she be over it?" Liam sighs, running his hand through his hair.
