She didn't want to insult Val, who had just joined them but that had been a mistake on Brook's part. She should have maintained her distance for awhile. It wasn't like she could just turn off her feelings like a light switch. It wasn't against Val. This wasn't about any of them. It was just hard to deal with it all.<br/><br/>Brook opened her mouth to reply to Marcus that's when Carina suddenly got up as well, muttering under her breath. Brook didn't hear it, she was in her own head and torn up by her feelings for Danny. She was startled by the sudden departure. There was no opportunity to speak or chase after Carina which would have been her ideal solution to both her problem and to make amends for the thing that she wasn't quite sure she had just caused.<br/><br/>The air was going out of Brook's lungs and for a moment she thought she was going to have a panic attack, all that mattered in the moment was that she wanted to leave the kitchen area. She didn't know how to respond or what to do. It was already to much for her and now it seemed like Carina was upset, maybe with her? She had no idea what was going on...<i> Just need to leave... Just leave... Just leave</i><br/><br/>At this point, Brook slid out of view like a little timid blond ninja and walked to the swings. She knew that she had probably hurt Carina back there, it wasn't like she meant to. Getting overwhelmed by it all left her paralyzed emotionally. She never saw Val leave, she never saw the looks on anyone's faces... Brook was trapped in her own head.<br/><br/>Curling up on the swing, she tucked her feet in under with her knees to her chest, arms wrapped around, and hummed her songs again.<br/><br/><i>At the swing...</i><br/><br/>Lost in her head again, Brook didn't see Danny approach. It was like she saw the horizon and nothing else mattered. She was off in lala land.<br/><br/>Danny spoke, there was a hey and a question about breakfast. It took that long for Brook to come out of her stupor. She didn't register that first question so she only responded to the next. Brook felt that warm feeling that Danny gave her when he was near. She smiled without thinking, not a fake smile, not a mask, it was that smile you give when you feel so good that you can't help but smile. Unfortunately, as much as that smile was pure and real, her eyes were shattered glass.<br/><br/>"It's going to be fun." Brook looked into Danny's beautiful dark eyes. "You know me, I love a good challenge." She chuckled and her shoulders shook a little. "I just hope some random dude doesn't make any side kissing bets with me. I seem to lose those." Her lips had that little curled corner thing she does when she's half smirking and half laughing at herself for being goofy. "How about you? Think the boys will win this one?"
