Roman's response to her denying his request for money made her heart hurt. He was clearly in a time of need and there she was, kicking him to the curb when he needed her the most. What choice did she have though? She could lend him the money but would then risk never getting it back and having Nick find out. Brooklyn wasn't the type of girl who felt like she needed permission from anyone to do anything, but this was different. Nick had just taken a punch for her, quite literally, and she didn't think it would be right to turn around a give the person who hurt him money. She didn't care about what he had said about her, that wasn't what was keeping her from helping. She just didn't want to get involved at all. Nick was her boyfriend and she would obviously take his side without a second thought but Roman was her best friend and the next person in line who she trusted the most. It was a difficult situation and one of the few that actually made Brooklyn emotional.

She watched him disappear around a corner but couldn't move from where she now stood. There was a part of her that wanted to chase after him and just give him the money. She could tell Nick that she ended up going out with her girlfriends instead of work, and then pick up an extra shift the next week to make up for it. If Roman and Nick were still on bad terms, he would never have a way of finding out. However, she didn't follow him. She had made a decision and couldn't change her mind now. She just hoped that she was doing the right thing.

A few minutes after crossing the street and beginning her route back to the warehouse, Brooklyn realized that she was crying. It wasn't a sobbing, messy cry, but a mute one where her even though she wanted it to stop, her eyes refused. It had been a while since she had actually broken down but after seeing Roman, a boy she had spent years with, punch Nick in the face and then hours later, come to her with a battered body of his own, she couldn't keep herself composed.

This life is so fucked up. This world is so fucked up and I'm not supposed to be here. This can't be my fucking life anymore. I can't do it. Roman was right, there's no way these kids are going to get off of the streets but I can't bare to watch them die out here either.

She sat with her back to the alley wall and allowed her face to fall into her hands. After a few minutes, she managed to dry her wet face with the sleeve of her hoodie and stand up. She didn't want to disturb the others who were probably sleeping, mostly because she didn't want any questions. She just wanted to go to sleep and a few minutes later, she joined Nick on their mattress and did just that.
