{name:Matt#|#picture:2}My whole body froze when Brooke told me that Elliot gave her the diamond heart-shaped necklace that hung from her perfectly. I felt my face tense up but I couldn't find the words to say anything. After a few moments of silence I heard Brooke speak. 'Say something.' She whispered. I still had her close to my body, the tension wavering between us as the sun beat down in heavy, hot rays.
'Why?' I managed to ask. I looked out to the horizon, my eyes squinted.
'Well. I don't know. He thought it would be-'
'No. I mean why do you still have it on?' My eyes didn't move, but I could feel Brooke's glare boring holes through my torso.
'I don't know. I just forgot I was wearing it.' She replied, turning her head in the same direction as mine.
'Lie.' I muttered under my breathe.
'What do you want me to tell you Matt?!' Her voice became harsh as I took a step backward.
'The truth.' Even I could hear the coldness of my voice but I didn't really care. She was quiet for a few minutes as we stared into each other's eyes.
"He loves me Matt." Brooke suddenly said, her voice hoarse.
"Do you love him back Brooke?"
"Matt. That doesn't matter-"
"Yes it does Brooke! It does matter. Do you love him Brooke?"
"Matt.." Brooke said, shaking her head. "Stop it."
"Yes or No Brooke."
"Yes Matt!" She suddenly yelled, looking up at me. Her eyes were wide open as she came right at me, remorse in her eyes. "Matt. I love him okay! But I also love you Matt, and you know that."
I walked backward, not knowing what else to do. I felt myself shaking my head as I approached the shore. Her words pierced through me like a sword. The last few days I had been believing it was Brooke and me like old times, that it would go back to the way it was. Brooke was right before; Everything is ruined.
