Cold Gravity

Brook pulled her knees to her chest and shut her eyes wrapping her arms around her legs avoiding the painful stab wound Max had given her. She shut her eyes making believe she was safe, from everything.

Adrian walked around in search for Brook. He was left feeling guilty and worried for her so he wouldn't stop looking. He placed a hand on his forehead and sighed heavily, glancing around still. Suddenly a familiar figure caught his eye that was sitting alone. He sighed in relief when he saw that it was Brook. He walked over to her and once nearer he crouched down beside her. "Brook...? You alright?""

"No..." Brook's voice was filled with broken pain and anger. "Merry fucking Christmas..." She whispered to herself holding her leg.

Adrian huffed and hung his head low and began to mumble. "Why am I always doing something else when this shit happens...? I'm sorry..."

Britt quietly walked up to Adrian and Brook, looking down at her friend with worry. "Brook?" She whispered, sitting down next her her.

Brook didn't look at them though she was glad they were there, she kept her head down and didn't respond.

Adrian saw how she didn't reply so he sat down and crossed his arms over his chest. "No response eh? Fine by me. I'll just sit here until you decide to talk."

Britt shook her head, crossing her arms over her chest. She looked over at Adrian with a pleading look before turning back to Brook. She sighed, leaning her head against the wall and closed her eyes.

"I'm sorry..." Brook told them both.

Adrian sighed and looked at her,his gaze calm and a light smile appeared on his face as he spoke softly to her. "Don't be."

Britt shook her head, blinking open her eyes and turned to look at Brook. "You don't need to be." She told her, sitting on her heels.

Brook hugged Britt and gave a smile to Adrian.

Britt was a bit surprised by the sudden hug, but she wrapped her arms around her friend. She grinned, whispering into her ear. "I'm sorry I didn't protect you..."

Adrian let out a grunt and lowered his head. He was thinking about what happened to her and it made him shut his eyes and grit his teeth.

"Gryffindor's don't need protection from other!" Brook told her amused before pulling away then turned to Adrian hugging him.

Adrian opened his eyes when he felt her hug him and he smiled a bit, hugging her back. "I feel like such a bear for not waking up through that whole scene." He admitted.

Britt chuckled as she said that, stuffing her hands into her pockets. She leaned back against the wall, looking at the ground.

"It's okay." Brook smiled and looking up at him. "I just don't wanna talk about it..."

Tyler appeared on the ground sitting down. "Oh, she's in a good mood for once in her life..." He taunted.

Britt looked up as soon as she heard Tyler, giving a nod before turning back to look at the ground.

He nodded. "Alright." He then saw Tyler appear and he nodded a quick greeting before turning his attention back to Brook.

Brook wrapped her arms around his neck and closed her eyes before kissing him gently.

"Get a room." Tyler said sarcastically.

Adrian chuckled a bit at Tyler's comment as he kissed Brook back, placing his hands on her waist.

Brook pulled away a bit to regain her breath then continued kissing him pressing her chest closely to his.

Tyler face palmed. "We're still here you know."

Britt stood, walking by Tyler and grabbing him by the hand and dragging him out. She chuckled, looking at him as she rolled her eyes. "Leave them be." She told him, letting go of his hand and leaning against the wall.

Tyler grinned and stuffed his hands in his pockets.
