"chapter 6-never be the same"

brooke and jordan entered the hot tub room, and jordan locked the door behind them. brooke sat down dipping her feet in the hot tub and jordan sat beside her. she wondered why after everything her and asher had been through, he couldn't just be all in? why couldn't he just love her and not just her body ? jordan and brooke had only been talking for a week and he had already tried way harder than asher.

"are you okay?" jordan asked snapping brooke out of her thoughts.

"yeah." she said breaking her silence.

"so should we get in." brooke suggested looking over at jordan.

"you know you don't have to do anything, you don't want to right?" jordan assured.

brooke rolled her eyes and stood up. she grabbed the scrunchie off her wrist and put her hair up. she then pulled her dress over her head. leaving her only on her underwear as she fully immersed her body in the hot tub.

"you gonna get in pretty boy or what." brooke joked as jordan started throwing his clothes off. jordan got in and moved towards her.

"you know i always thought you an asher were like a thing, but he told me this was cool." jordan said.

"what exactly did he say." brooke asked.

"he said you guys are just friends." & with that brookes heart felt more strain, as she heard that familiar just friends again.

brooke wrapped her arms around jordan's neck, as she tried to drown her sorrows with a kiss. they kissed longer, harder, and deeper. an sooner than later they both had no clothes left on their bodies. brooke hadn't had sex with any guy but asher in almost a year. she thought asher was all she ever needed, but in this very moment all she wanted was jordan baker. lost in each other jordan and brooke didn't even hear the door to the hot tub room unlock.

brooke opened her eyes for a second to see asher looking at her.

"what the fuck." brooke screamed causing jordan to stop.

"man get out we're busy." jordan hissed at an already pissed off asher.

"party's over get out." asher hissed back.

asher turned around as jordan & brooke stepped out.

"call me tomorrow okay." jordan said kissing brooke and walking out the the hot tub room.

leaving her alone there with asher. brooke wrapped herself in a towel and looked over at asher who still had his back turned to her. she reached out and touched his arm but he pulled away.

"ash" brooke said softly.

"why would you fuck him." asher yelled.

"it was a dare." brooke yelled back in her defense.

"why do you even care, i'm really just your friend right ?" brooke added.

"i just didn't wanna see that." asher sighed.

"you know maybe this whole friends with benefits thing wasn't a good idea." asher added.

"we cant just go back to being friends. this is our fault ash, we took things too far and it's our fault things will never be the same." brooke cried as she put her clothes back on.

brooke walked outside looking for sammy who was making out with jj inside of mr adams car.

"sammy let's go." brooke said sternly & sammy hopped out the car.

"jj you get out the car too, i told you not to touch it." asher yelled.

"sorry man." jj replied getting out of the car.

suddenly the car started to roll backwards.

"asher." brooke screamed as they both chased the vintage car that had now rolled back into a tree.
