<3 Never say U can't <3 Chapter 1

Well here's my new story! Hope you like it!

A mother drags her 5 year old daughter to her first day of preschool. "Mommy I don't wanna go to school!" The mother sighs angrily. "Brooke Daniels! Stop now!" Brooke sticks her lip and and quits fighting. Another mother and her son walk into the classroom at the same time. "Oh hi Bernadette!" "Hi Marie!" "So how'd the move go?" "Great! Is it alright if Bruno comes over today?" "Of course! Were neighbors now! I'm sure he'll be coming over all the time!" The mothers say their goodbyes to their children and let them go to class. "But mommy I don't wanna!" The little boy holds out his hand. "I'll walk with you!" Brooke tentatively grabs the little boys hand. "My name's Bruno, what's your name?" "Brooke." The two children walk in to the class together hand in hand. It was the start of an amazing friendship. The two children talked and laughed all day. When Brooke found out Bruno lived beside her both children were thrilled. They shortly became inseparable. They were always dancing and singing together. One day Bruno ran to Brooke's house. "Brooke! Watch this!" Brooke watched in amazement as Bruno danced perfectly in tune to an Elvis Presley song. Bruno's father taught the children how to play many different instruments and how to sing. As the years passed and the children aged, their friendships became very deep. They always had the same classes and always sat together. When one got in trouble so did the other. As high school rolled around their taste in life changed and friendship was put to the test. Bruno wanted to be a singer. He was very talented and Brooke always supported him even when people told him he would never make it. "Brooke I can't do it! Nobody thinks I can!" "Bruno stop! Never say you can't because you can, you can do it Bruno. I believe in you." Brooke convinced Bruno to go and sing in pubs or restaurants and she would always tag along and she became mesmerized by the way he sang. It was like magic. Brooke became very athletic. She became in love with softball. Bruno came to every game and caught her while she had pitching practice. Bruno knew by the way she moved it was her calling. When she played she would get filthy but she didn't seem to care. She loved it. She would get hit by a pitch but she was always eager to show off her bruises. When she pitched it looked as if she was born to do it. He knew that she would make it big someday. People became jealous of what they had. A strong friendship. People started trying to take Bruno from Brooke. But despite their best efforts nothing made him leave her side. Prom rolled around and many guys asked Brooke but she was holding out for one. Bruno. He asked her 3 days before prom. She said yes. Her mother took her to pick out a dress. She picked out a blue dress with sequins. The night of prom her mother helped her get ready. She straightened her long dirty blonde hair and did her makeup. She looked beautiful. The doorbell rang. Bruno. She walked down stairs and saw Bruno standing by the door. He was wearing a simple light pink shirt and plain black jacket and matching pants. "Wow you look amazing Bruno." "You too." They got into his car and drove to prom. They had a blast. Towards the end they snuck out and ran along the beach. They stood by the water and let the breeze blow in their faces. Bruno starts humming a tune and looks at Brooke. "When I see your face there's not a thing that I would change cuz your amazing just the way you are." "Wow that sounded amazing! Was that for me?" "Of course. Because you are very, very beautiful." They both lean in and kiss. It was a first kiss for both of them. After that night they were closer than ever before. It was a week after graduation when it was time for them to do the hardest thing they've ever had to do. It was time for them to go their own ways. "Bruno I don't wanna leave you!" Brooke cried while helping him finish packing. It was the first time she'd seen Bruno actually cry. "I know I don't want to leave you either. Were gonna be on opposite sides of the U.S." "I'm gonna miss you, especially that afro of yours." Bruno chuckled a little. "I'm gonna miss you more though. Your my world. I promise I'll watch you on tv. I might even come to a game if I get enough money." "Oh Bruno..." Brooke threw her arms around Bruno and sobbed. Bruno rubbed her back and told her everything would be ok. Brooke stopped crying and looked at Bruno. "You know Bruno......your gonna need a last name." "Like what?" "How about Mars, because your out of this world! Bruno Mars!" "Yeah. Bruno Mars. I like it. Here I have something I want to give you." Bruno fumbles around and pulls out a black box. Inside is a silver chain with a silver heart. He put it on Brooke and smiled. "Thank you Bruno. It's beautiful." "Yeah, beautiful, just like you." A few days later they shared a final kiss at the airport. "I love you Brooke Daniels." "I love you too Bruno Hernandez. Will you wait for me?" "Of course." He kisses her one last time and they start walking in separate directions. Brooke heading off to Tennessee on a scholarship to pitch and Bruno going to LA to try to land a recording deal. Brooke's heart was shattered into a million pieces. It was going to be hard without Bruno by her side. She would have no one to share secrets with, no one who she could talk to hours on end and they just sit there and listen quietly telling her everything's going to be ok. But this was life. It was never meant to be easy. But she never thought it could be this hard. Brooke sat down and toyed with her necklace. Wondering if life could possibly get any worse. Her flight number was called and she gather her things and boarded her plane. As they took off she watched as the island she grew up on, the one with all the memories, vanished in the clouds forever. "Goodbye Waikiki, Goodbye Bruno." She look at her reflection in the window and watched a single tear roll down her face
