  "Hey Scott!" she cried happily hugging him in the death grip.

  "Hey Mel, missed you" he said just as happily. He glanced over to me and smiled his sexy little smile that always made me feel a little like I wasn't in control of myself. "Well hello Brooklyn, you've grown" he said smirking at me as he pulled me into a hug. I instantly regretted the choice of clothes, god even he said that I had put on weight!

  I hugged him back uncomfortably "Hi Scott how's college?" I asked smiling.

  He grinning his sexy smile at me, "Pretty good, not very many hot girls up there though, maybe I should come back here, what do you think?" he asked looking me over slowly making me feel so uncomfortable I wished the ground would open up and swallow me.

  "Don't start hitting on my best friend already Scott come on!" Mel cried laughing as she grabbed my hand and pulled me towards the kitchen. Hitting on me? Why the hell would he hit on me? Scott followed us into the kitchen still raking his eyes over my body hungrily, I cleared my throat.

  "So what courses you doing Scott?" I asked trying to get his attention off of my legs, he smiled and came to lean on the counter next to me his arm brushing against mine.

  "Psychology and Sociology" he said smiling.

  I nodded "Yeah I forgot you wanted to be a psychologist" I said frowning.

  "Anything that'll get you on my couch" he said flirtily making me laugh, god I missed him!

  I pushed him away "Go away slut, I'm not interested" I said teasingly, he pouted at me faking hurt.

  "You still with that Asshole Trey?" he asked frowning a little annoyed about it.

  I nodded "Yep still with him" I said trying to show I was happy about it.

  He shook his head "I don't know what you see in that ass, you could do so much better" he said looking at me intently. I smiled sadly, yeah right.

  "Yeah like who?" I asked jokingly not really expecting an answer.

  He laughed "Um let me think, how about, anyone you set your sights on? Me maybe?" he said flirtily. I laughed yeah ok, like he would be interested in me, he's so damn hot!

  "Whatever, want to come have a girlie night with us? We're painting toenails" I offered changing the subject.

  "Hey why not, got any pink?" he asked jokingly looking at his nails.

  "Sure whatever you want" I said laughing my ass off, he always was funny, I would love to have a brother like him, well actually I would just love to have a brother full stop. Someone to look after me and tell me it was ok, someone I could turn to for help instead of having to do everything on my own all the time.

  "What if I want you?" he whispered in my ear making me shiver at how close he was, I swallowed suddenly really nervous.

  I pushed him away slightly putting a little distance between us, "Well that's not on offer, sorry" I said rolling my eyes.

  He sighed "Right, well then I definitely do not want a girlie night" he said faking hurt as he stormed out of the kitchen dramatically making me laugh again.

  Mel rolled her eyes at him "God I though he was over it" she said shaking her head.

  I frowned "Over what?" I asked confused, she laughed.

  "His little crush on you" she said nodding to her brother who was now sitting watching TV with his feet on the coffee table. What the hell is that about?

  "He doesn't have a crush on me! Don't be stupid Mel" I said laughing my ass off. God as if someone like him would have a crush on someone like me!

  "Are you kidding? He's fancied you for years, I thought you knew" she said confused, I gasped and looked at her, she wasn't joking, this was serious, her brother had a crush on me for years? Mind you I guess when I used to hang out here a lot I was skinnier and prettier than I am now. There was no way he would still like me even if he did used to have a crush on me! She must have got the wrong end of the stick, Scott was just a flirt who liked to make me feel uncomfortable.

  "Whatever, lets get a pizza tonight" I said starving hungry, I hadn't really eaten properly for days and I literally had an apple today and nothing else. She nodded eagerly and trotted off to get the phone to order it. Four hours later, after a huge amout of pizza, ice cream and popcorn and vodka I was laying on her bed while she painted my toes. Actually painted my toes, I don't think she was actually getting any on the actual nail! We were both giggling hysterically at nothing in particular.

  I could hear people downstairs, Scott had some friends over but we were in Mel's bedroom so it didn't matter. "We need more alcohol!" I chirped swigging the last mouthful of vodka from the bottle frowning, where the hell did all that go?

  Mel jumped up laughing and pulled me to my feet dragging me out of the room, "Let's go steal the boys drink" she said loudly in my ear, I winced as my ears started to ring. She shh'd me and crept down the hall but I couldn't stop laughing at her trying to be all stealthy as she crept along the wall like James Bond.

  I trailed behind her giggling with my hand over my mouth, if I didn't stop laughing they were gonna hear us! "Shh" I whispered to myself and walked smack into a table knocking over a ornament.

  Quick as lightning Mel spun on the spot and caught it, "Fuck me that was awesome!" I cried impressed at how fast she had moved.

  She looked at me shocked "I...I was" she stuttered looking uncomfortable.

  I shook my head. "You should be on the netball team Mel that was fucking fast!" I said impressed, she grinned and put the ornament back grabbing my hand and pulling me into the kitchen.

  Her brother and what looked like three friends were sitting in the lounge watching football, she grinned and pulled me over to the fridge, "If we get caught I'm gonna run, Scott'll give it to you but he won't give it to me" she whispered grabbing four bottles of beer and putting them in my hands as she grabbed another two.

  "Mel you better not be stealing my beer" Scott called from the lounge.

  She looked at me with wide eyes, "Flirt!" she said as she ran off towards the stairs just managing to get out of the room as Scott walked in.

  He looked at me and smiled his sexy little smile as he leaned up against the door frame. "What's this then Brooklyn?" he asked looking me over, I suddenly became very aware that I was in a pair of short shorts and a vest top ready for bed. I blushed as he looked me over slowly making me wish I was about two sizes smaller.

  "Um, I was wondering if I could have these beers" I said grimacing at how pathetic I sounded.

  He smiled, "Right, and what's in it for me then, why should I give you my beers?" he asked as he took a couple of steps towards me, I gulped, ok what the hell is he looking at me like that for?

  "I could pay you, I've got money in my bag" I offered looking around for my handbag, he laughed and shook his head.

  "I don't want your money" he said taking another step towards me, he was looking at me really strangely and it was starting to scare me a little.

  "Well what do you want then?" I asked confused, he smiled as he took the last step closing the distance so he was right in front of me.

  "How about a dance tomorrow at the party?" he said raising one eyebrow, a dance? God I would have danced with him anyway so now I get the beers for nothing!

  "Just a dance?" I asked checking there was no catch.

  He smiled and nodded "Just a dance" he said nodding amused.

  "Ok great, sure" I said happily.

  He grinned and nodded over his shoulder "Go on then, don't throw up, I'm not clearing up after you" he said laughing.

  I smiled "Thanks Scott, it really is good to see you you know" I said honestly.

  He smiled "And it was definitely good to see you" he said looking me over slowly again making me blush.

  I gripped the beers tightly and made my way out of the room heading towards the stairs. "Sorry guys, all the beer's gone" Scott said as he headed back into the lounge, I smiled, bless him he is so sweet!

  "What? How can the beer be gone?" I heard a guy say, I stopped dead in my tracks. He had the sexiest voice I had ever heard in my life and my whole body was tingling with excite
ment for some reason. I wanted to hear it again, I wanted him to say my name.

  I turned and was about to head in there to see who this voice belonged to when Mel grabbed the beers from my arms and laughed. "Come on, let's go" she said nodding for me to follow her up the stairs, it felt like I snapped out of some sort of trance. I could suddenly think again, what the hell was I about to do? Why the hell would I care who that voice belong to? I have a boyfriend who has no intention of letting me go. I shook my head and followed Mel up the stairs into her bedroom flopping on the bed. "Right then, let's watch another movie!" she said jumping up to choose one.

  I woke in the morning and my head was pounding, I grimaced and buried my head in the pillow. Oh god I felt like shit! How the hell much did I drink last night? I lifted my head squinting through the too bright room to the alarm clock, it was almost nine in the morning. I groaned and rolled over to come face to face with Mel who was still asleep, I felt a little sick so I got up quietly and made my way to the bathroom for a shower grabbing my clothes on the way.

  After a shower I felt much better and looked in to see Mel was still asleep so I crept downstairs to get something to drink. My tongue felt like sandpaper. "Good morning sunshine" Scott said grinning, I grimaced as my ears started to ring.

  "Scott you have any painkillers?" I asked putting my throbbing head on the counter enjoying the cold of the granite on my forehead.

  I heard him chuckle, "Here" he said putting two pills and a glass of water on the counter. I sighed as I swallowed them quickly drinking the whole glass of water, "Suffering after drinking all of my beers?" he asked teasingly.

  I nodded and sat on the stool, "Yeah" I muttered closing my eyes, I heard him move and suddenly he was behind me rubbing my temples. I snapped my eyes open and pulled away, "What are you doing?" I asked confused.

  He smiled "Making you headache go, I learnt about head massages in my class" he said shrugging and reaching for my head again.

  "Seriously? I thought Psychology was about what's inside the mind not outside" I said sarcastically.

  He rolled his eyes, "Fine, you don't want my help don't take it, suffer for all I care" he said shrugging, I sighed, my head was killing me, it wouldn't hurt to let him try.

  "Ok, ok rub my head then" I said exasperated, he shook his head amused.

  "Not if you ask like that" he said teasingly, I smiled, ok I guess I was a little rude.

  "Scott will you please rub my head?" I asked stepping closer to him.

  He laughed "Maybe I could ask you to return the favour later and rub my head" he said suggestively.

  "Ew! Gross!" I said slapping his shoulder, he laughed and reached for me again, I pushed his hands away. "No way! I don't want to be owing you anything" I said honestly, there was no way I would be doing that later!

  He grabbed my waist and spun me round to face him and moved his hands to my head massaging my temples in small circles making his way across my forehead and back again going down behind my ears making me moan at how good that actually felt. Someone cleared their throat behind me and Scott stopped "Finished seducing my friend?" Mel asked sarcastically.

  Scott laughed "Actually no, can you give me ten more minutes?" he asked teasingly.

  We all laughed and I stepped back, my head actually felt fine now. "Oh my God that did make my headache go!" I said excitedly.

  He smiled and did a little bow "Told ya" he said winking at me.

  Mel rolled her eyes, "Shopping!" she said excitedly, I groaned, oh shit I hated shopping!

  "Do we have to?" I asked grimacing.

  She nodded "Yes! You need to get something for tonight, your not wearing jeans so you need to buy something new, maybe a dress" she said happily.

  I shook my head, "Come on, why can't I wear jeans?" I asked hating the fact that she would make me try on dresss and skirts.

  She grabbed my bag and put it in my hands, "Come on, let's get something to eat on the way, I'm starving" she said dragging me towards the door.

  "See you later Scott, thanks for the massage" I called as we headed out of the door.

  After three shops of me refusing to try on anything that she picked out for me she finally had enough. She grabbed a black dress that looked absolutely killer on the hanger but on me would look absolutely hideous. It was tight and short and small! "Try this on Brook or I swear I'm gonna embarrass you in front of this whole store" she said warningly as she shook the dress in front of me.

  I raised my eyebrows at her, what the hell is she gonna do to embarrass me? "Yeah?" I asked teasingly.

  She nodded "Yeah I'm gonna start screaming and tell everyone that you just felt me up" she said grinning happily.

  I laughed "Yeah ok, you do that" I said shaking my head at her amused.

  She opened her mouth and screamed, shock shot through me and I jumped forward putting my hand over her mouth looking round to see everyone staring at us shocked and scared. "Shit, ok! Give me the damn dress!" I said angrily snatching it out of her hand.

  She laughed "It's ok everyone, I'm sorry, I thought I saw a spider that's all" she said waving apologetically.

  I laughed as she pushed towards the fitting rooms, "You are fucking crazy" I said as I stepped into the little curtain and started to strip out of my clothes being careful not to look at my almost naked body in the mirror. I grabbed the dress realising too late that she had picked up a size four, "Mel, damn it, you got me a four! Can you get me an eight or a ten?" I asked holding it outside of the curtain.

  She laughed "A ten? Come on jeez try the damn thing on, fuck me, a ten yeah right!" she said laughing her ass off.

  Oh for god sake! I pulled the dress over my head pulling it down to see it literally fitted where it touched. It was tight all over literally like a second skin. I looked like a fat ugly prostitute! The dress itself was beautiful though, made of silk and had thin straps, it was beautiful, well it would look beautiful on someone other than me.

  "You have it on?" Mel called, I crossed my arms across my body.

  "Mel, it's too tight, can you get me a bigger one?" I asked uncomfortably.

  She wrenched the curtain open and gasped making me feel even worse. I closed my eyes not wanting to see the disgust at how fucking hideous I was, "Oh God Brook, this dress was made for you, you look so hot, I swear your gonna be fighting them off tonight" she said sounding a little jealous. I opened my eyes to see her looking me over proudly.

  I frowned "It's awful Mel, seriously, I look like a fat tramp!" I hissed angrily.

  She gasped again, "What? Fucking hell I would kill someone to have your body Brook, your cleavage, my god even I want to fuck you in that dress and I am most definitely straight" she said throwing her hair over her shoulder. I laughed and looked back in the mirror, I suppose it did make my cleavage look good, I dropped my hands slightly so I could look at my bust but still cover up my stomach, she wrenched my arms down to my sides.

  "You're getting this dress" she said looking at me sternly, I grimaced.

  "I can't wear this! Seriously Mel, come on get real" I said turning my nose up at myself.

  She shook her head, "You're getting it, take it off, let's go get some new underwear to go with it, that dress deserves pretty underwear, oh and new shoes" she said clapping her hands.

  "I'm not some damn Barbie doll!" I snapped making her laugh as she closed the curtain behind her.

  After another hour and a half of shopping we made our way back to hers, I had bought some slutty black lacy underwear and a killer pair of heels to go with the way too tight, way too short dress that she made me buy. God I hated my life, but at least this party was at some friend of her brothers, I wouldn't know anyone there and they wouldn't be able to see me again to talk about my embarrassing show in a slutty dress designed for some runway model.

  I showered and let her do my hair, blowdrying it straight and shaping it into a perfect bob, I applied my own makeup much to her disgust, I added a little mascara and some clear lipgloss, I never wore much m
akeup. Trey said it made me look cheap so I didn't even wear any when I was out with him.

  When I couldn't stall anymore she made me pull on the dress over the top of the lacy black slutty bra and thong. She was watching me the whole time with a proud little smile.

  "I'm glad I've told Scott we'll meet him there, he is so gonna be drooling for you tonight, I bet he wouldn't let you leave the house" she said smirking at me. I rolled my eyes, yeah as if, the only one that would be drooling right now is Trey and he would be drooling with anger at how fucking embarrassing I looked right now!

  Mel as usual looked beautiful, she added some soft curls to her poker straight hair and pulled on a gorgeous red dress that made her look super skinny and graceful. I was so jealous of her, god why the hell can't I look like that? I pulled on my shoes and she wrapped her arm around me, "Let's go break some hearts" she said winking at me making me chuckle. We walked to the car and made our way over to Scott's friends house on the other side of the woods.

  As we approached I gasped, this place was gorgeous, like a log cabin with big green windows. It was so cute! Mel laughed and pulled me towards the banging music, "Right, let's get wasted!" she said happily as we got to the front door.

  "Who's party is this anyway?" I shouted over the music as she led me through the house. It was really cute on the inside too, and much bigger than it seemed from outside, all open plan, the walls were all wood and looked really homey.

  "It's Scott's best friend Jayden's, it's his birthday today" she shouted back pulling me over to the kitchen area. She grabbed two cups and went straight for the punch raising an eyebrow at me, oh crap there could be anything in there!

  "Um maybe we should stick to bottles?" I said but it sounded more like a question.

  "Don't worry, it'll be fine, Scott will look after us" she said ladling out two big cups of punch. I could feel everyone staring at me so I wrapped my arms around myself wishing I had on a pair of jeans and a hoodie to hide under.

  Mel handed me a cup "Cheers" she said knocking our cups together, I took a big swig and almost spat it straight back out, it was fucking awful! There was so much alcohol in there it was just crazy!
