aesthetics

the smell of stale cigarettes mixed with dollar store brown sugar body spray, slipping a swirly straw in the gap between your two front teeth, collecting shitty stick n’ poke tattoos like they’re quarters, having your childhood best friend pierce your ears parent trap style in the bathroom, screaming in public but crying in private, eating family dinners sat next to the vacant seat that your twin would’ve taken if he were still here.

background

the youngest of three with two older brothers, one of them being her twin

forced to strive for attention throughout her childhood, which resulted in her pitching fits and throwing tantrums and acting out in any way that would garner a reaction

her father worked primarily as a construction worker and her mom taught at a local elementary school in their hometown of great falls, montana

her parents working all the time meant that brooke spent most of her time with her brothers climbing in trees that fell in their neighbor’s yard or slinging punches at one another that left bruises they’d have to cover up with their mom’s dollar store foundation

was closest to her twin. they were attached at the hip, constantly walking arm in arm wherever they went, and the told each other everything. he was responsible for keeping her calm and mellow and, when she wasn’t with him, she was often difficult to be around

lost lucas, her twin, at the age of sixteen when he collided head-on with a two truck that sent him throughout the windshield of his small beater and headfirst into the concrete. by the time emergency responders reached the scene, he was gone

his death served as the catalyst for brooke to leave great falls after she’d finished high school and follow her boyfriend to new york, where he’d moved only a few months prior to her graduation so he could be closer to his mother

her parents tried to persuade her not to go but she’s never been the type to be easily swayed

with her newfound freedom came the realization that she had to support herself. during her first few years in new york, brooke worked a steady stream of odd jobs, with her longest stint being at a small corner store, before she took on a permanent gig as a cashier at a local gas station shortly after her twentieth birthday

the thought of going to college had never really crossed her mind until she and her boyfriend were on the outs and she was looking for something to do. her grades in high school had been good, if only because her brothers pushed her to try, and her parents were more than willing to shell out cash if it meant that their daughter would do something decent with her time

lockwood wasn’t the first choice but it was a decent one and it meant that she could put distance between herself and her soon-to-be ex-boyfriend by moving into a dorm

her time at lockwood thus far has been smooth as can be expected given that she’s far from home and didn’t know anyone when she first started classes

brooke’s never thrived when left alone and without attention for long, though, and so she took to flitting from person to person and friend group to friend group, always searching for more drama and more chaos

fast facts

loves beating the absolute shit out of anyone that looks at her the wrong way

grows super attached to boyfriends/girlfriends really fast and then loses her fucking mind when they leave for whatever reason (usually bc she did something batshit)

will do anything for a long island iced tea

is horrible at making long-term friends bc she doesn’t like to be around the same people for too long. something about them not liking it when she gets violent

can be surprisingly magnetic and charismatic when she wants to be?? 

survives off of fruit roll-ups and energy drinks most of the time

will put anything in the gap between her front teeth

needed plots

an enabling, equally hostile best friend that records her when she’s in a hair-pulling cat fight so she can post it on youtube

an on and off boyfriend that she’s slightly obsessed with

past and current hookups

exes i guess? but relationships definitely are Not a common thing for brooke

people she parties with regularly

literally so many people that can’t stand her........please
