what happens next? when people you’ve loved all your life suddenly decide to leave?

Admittedly Amelia already missed the closeness from Brooklyn. And hopefully this didn’t blow her chances or anything like that. Hearing Emma, she knew she was in trouble. But she wasn’t understanding why? Nodding her head at her mother’s words. “Yeah, okay.” She sighed some, looking back towards Brooklyn. “I’ll see you later. Call me? Or text me?” @emmaxwilliamson​

It wasn’t that Emma was upset about the fact that Amelia was about to kiss another girl. Maybe it was the fact that she was about to kiss Brooklyn considering her history with Imogen and their current affair. Made things a little bit awkward. “If your mother gets home let her know I’ll be back. Brooklyn let’s go, kiddo.” @littlebrooklynmatthews​

Brooklyn bit her lip. Talk about awkward. Was Amelia’s mother upset? She hoped not but something did feel a little off but maybe everyone was just awkward at the situation in general. “Yeah, I’ll text you.” She promised with a nod, just wishing they’d had at least a few more moments of alone time but the moment was gone. For now, anyway. She turned and trailed after Emma like a puppy with its tail between its legs. “Coming...”

…a warm wind from a distant shore so that’s where I headed towards the light that shone in her eyes with gentle seas

Imogen set about going to prepare something light and easy, with a little sigh. She knew being that age was hard even without your best friend dying, and God she remembered everything too well, but she was worried about Brooklyn and she felt so far away from her. She missed her.

@ericxmatthews​

“I think just because your best friend is dead doesn’t mean that you need to have an attitude with your mother and I. Your mother can help. She has been through this.” There was a small sigh that escaped Eric’s lips. “Sweetheart, we don’t want you to close us off. Let us help you. Let us be there for you whenever you need it. We love you.” @littlebrooklynmatthews​

Brooklyn knew Imogen had been through it. It was all so eerily similar that maybe that was contributing to the attitude problem. She shrugged, scuffing her feet in the dirt a little more. “It’s fine, dad... I’ll be fine. I’m sorry.” Brooklyn mumbled. She didn’t know what else to say. She missed Allie so much and... what was with those weird messages?

Just as Amelia was about to lean in further and close the distance between them, the door opened. And the redhead jumped back a little bit. “Mum, wasn’t expecting you home so soon.” She cleared her throat a little bit because honestly she hadn’t been expecting her mother. Neither of them actually. So she was glad that it was just Emma.

Emma walked inside, and the moment that she stepped into the living room that was when she saw them. Brooklyn and Amelia almost kissing! Fuck. That was bad considering everything. So she cleared her throat which made Amelia jump back a little bit. “It’s getting late. How about I drive Brooklyn home and Amelia we will talk about this after I get back.” @littlebrooklynmatthews

Brooklyn got a fright when the door opened and suddenly the two of them weren’t close anymore. She bit down on her lip, clasping her hands and feeling like she’d gotten caught doing something wrong even though... had she? Brooklyn sighed, looking at Amelia and giving a little shrug. “Um... see you later.”

[littlebrooklynmatthews]

amelia-everett-williamson‌:

“Anytime, day or night.” Amelia spoke just as quietly, her own gaze moved to their hands for a moment. Honestly she didn’t want to let go so she didn’t. Instead her gaze moved back up to Brooklyn’s. Moving her free hand to tuck some hair behind the blonde’s ear, that was when she moved closer to her as well.

Brooklyn’s smile grew a little as she looked back at Amelia, thinking she was pretty. She breathed in when Amelia tucked some hair behind her ear and something just caused her to shift a little and start leaning in to close the space between them.

“It’s fine…” She sighed softly, trying to protest but he was already gone. She looked into the next room and then turned away again, trying to decide what to make and hopefully not burn the place down. Not that she was quite that bad anymore. @ericxmatthews​

“You are being very rude towards your mother and disrespectful. We never taught you to be like that. What is honestly going on with you, Brooklyn? We can help despite you thinking that we can’t.” It was almost like she had been in contact with Linda. That ring was still in his dresser. “Or is this really all bout Allie?” @littlebrooklynmatthews​

“My best friend is dead, what do you think it going on?” She muttered, knowing that she was taking the whole attitude thing to a level it didn’t need to be at and she didn’t like this side of herself but she couldn’t seem to help it. “I don’t know.” She shrugged, scuffing the ground with her shoe and watching the dog sniff around. “I’m sorry, I’ll stop.” She shrugged.

[littlebrooklynmatthews]

amelia-everett-williamson‌:

“Good. That’s good. I’m glad that it does help.” And she really was. All she wanted to do was to help her. She cared so much about her. Reaching out, she took her hand and gave it a gentle squeeze. “Whatever you need I’m here anytime.”

Brooklyn smiled again, looking down at their hands as Amelia reached out and took hers. “Thanks...” She said quietly, blinking and moving her gaze back up towards the redhead, inching a little closer but not really noticing herself do it.

[littlebrooklynmatthews]

amelia-everett-williamson‌:

“Which is completely understandable.” Amelia told her softly. Sure, she could see the similarities but there was also differences between their world and their parents world. “I wish I could help you somehow. And I hope hanging out with me does help some.”

Brooklyn looked back at her and nodded. “It... it does help...” She admitted softly, biting her lip a little as she glanced down. She wasn’t sure what she was fully feeling but it was something.

imogen-matthews‌:

“Okay. What do you—?” She didn’t finish before Brooklyn was gone. Imogen sighed, exchanging a look with Eric at the way Brooklyn seemed do distanced from her. She didn’t like it. She watched their daughter go through to the other room and then she shook her head and turned to focus on grabbing items of food, focusing as hard as she could on what to make so she didn’t focus on how down she was feeling about Brooklyn,

@ericxmatthews​

Eric exchanged looks with his wife before, placing his hand onto her shoulder gently. “I’ll talk to her.” Honestly he didn’t like this. Didn’t like how Brooklyn was treating Imogen. Leaning over, he kissed her head gently. Moving into the living room, he went and sat down next to their daughter. “Brooklyn, we need to talk about how you are treating your mother.” @littlebrooklynmatthews​

Brooklyn was miserable and she didn’t see how being out here would make her feel any different. She looked up when he came in, frowning. “Fine... what?” She knew she was being difficult but she couldn’t seem to help it. She really wasn’t sure she fully even knew why.

[littlebrooklynmatthews]

You should look into your dad's top drawer, might be something in there for you. -A

“...what?”

[littlebrooklynmatthews]

amelia-everett-williamson‌:

Amelia looked over at her at once again. “It just looks so different.” Reaching over, she grabbed a photo of Emma and Nina when they were younger. “See it doesn’t even look like them now and it’s hard to imagine.” Looking back at her, she reached out taking a chance to tuck some hair behind her hair. “No, it’s beautiful and one I have missed seeing around.”

Brooklyn nodded. Of course she’d heard all the stories but it was hard to imagine and get her parents to talk about it. It was like two different worlds but she did notice similarities in their worlds. Allie. God, she missed her. She smiled a bit, looking up at Amelia as she tucked some hair behind her ear. “Well, I guess... it hasn’t had much reason to be around...” She admitted.

[littlebrooklynmatthews]

amelia-everett-williamson‌:

“Very much so.” Amelia nodded her head. “It is so hard to imagine. I mean I’ve seen photos of my mothers when they were younger. But it’s just hard to picture.” There was a smile that graced Amelia’s lips. “Yeah, I totally would. And I really have missed seeing that smile of yours.”

Brooklyn nodded. “Yeah... my mum was so beautiful but it’s like I’m looking at different people, it’s hard to link them up as my parents.” She chuckled, but she figured most kids had that problem. She bit down on her lip gently as she looked back at Amelia. “No. My smile’s ugly..” She protested, shaking her head.

Imogen smiled over at him, nodding. “That’s all we need….” Right? They’d be fine. She looked up when the door opened and Brooklyn came in with the dog, watching her move towards the fridge. She felt like she was still ignoring her and she didn’t know how to reach her. “Do you want me to make you something to eat?” She asked.

@ericxmatthews​

“Right, I mean we could always go to the small town down the road a little bit if we forgot anything.” Leaning over, he kissed Imogen’s head gently. Looking over when Brooklyn came in, he could sense the tense between his wife and their daughter. “Brooklyn, your mother asked you a question. I mean they don’t exactly have takeaway here.” @littlebrooklynmatthews​

Brooklyn rolled her eyes as she grabbed a can of juice, turning to look at her dad first, then her mother. She shrugged. “Sure... thanks.” She was aware there was a slight attitude and she didn’t like it herself but she couldn’t help it. “Buddy, come on.” She moved through to the living area with the dog and flopped down on the couch.

[littlebrooklynmatthews]

amelia-everett-williamson‌:

“So our parents are just basically old.” Amelia chuckled lightly. “Sometimes I wonder if they were born that way.” The redhead joked, looking over at her for a moment. “I strongly doubt that. They probably noticed the moment that you left. I mean..I would.” She told her honestly.

Brooklyn grinned, nodding. “So old.” She chuckled. “Sometimes it seems that way... it’s hard to imagine they were ever... just like us. Y’know?” She shrugged, looking over at her and couldn’t stop her smile brightening. “Yeah?”

[imogen-matthews]

@ericxmatthews​, @littlebrooklynmatthews​

“I feel like we forgot something.” Imogen sighed, as she rummaged through the bag but then she shrugged. “Doesn’t matter… everything we need is here anyway.” She turned to look out the window over the lake, glad they’d done this. “Where’s Brooklyn?”

[ericxmatthews]

“I don’t think we did.” Eric stated, looking over at her for a moment. Nodding his head a little bit. “Yeah, it is. We have each other and Brooklyn.” He was glad that she had agreed. It was the weekend she usually went to see her father or where ever she went so he was glad that she had decided to do this with them. “She’s outside with Buddy.” @littlebrooklynmatthews​

[littlebrooklynmatthews]

She was sitting out with Buddy, watching him enjoy their new surroundings. Brooklyn’s thoughts were so scattered still, she didn’t know what to do or how to feel, but she was trying to pretend. “Come on, Bud!” She called, standing up and moving so she could walk inside finally, seeing her parents. “I’m thirsty..” She murmured, moving towards the fridge.
