You’re pregnant? With a…baby?

[brookeporter]

...Are you serious?? Yes, with a baby.... I knew I shouldn’t have told you...

[grayson-anderson]

PM|| Grayke

[grayson-anderson]

Brooke, babe, what are you talking about? If there’s something going on with you then I care and I definitely couldn’t hate you for whatever it is you’re freaking out about. Is it? I mean it wouldn’t change anything because you’ll still be upset and I’ll still be confused. 

[brookeporter]

.....I’m pregnant.

I don’t know how it happened, but it happened... And my mom is never going to allow me to have an abortion so my life is over... everything is ruined because of one stupid mistake...

[grayson-anderson]

PM|| Grayke

[grayson-anderson]

I don’t have any plans to ever dump you, but it already sounds like you’re trying to break up with me for some reason. Okay, fine so I won’t give her anymore of my attention. What’s exactly messed up?

[brookeporter]

Just.. everything is! My life is like a nightmare I can’t wake up from, and it just keeps getting worse... and the worst part hasn’t even happened yet, And I want to tell you what’s going on but I feel like you would either not care or just hate me for it. So I don’t know what to do.. breaking up would be the easiest, I guess..

[grayson-anderson]

PM|| Grayke

[grayson-anderson]

What’s that supposed to mean? I don’t know? I guess she just wants some attention from me? I’ve already told her to back off once before so I’m not really sure what else I’m supposed to do. I know that too. Can you just tell me what to do so I can fix what I did?

[brookeporter]

It means that some mistakes are permanent and you can’t fix them, no matter how much you wish you could... Obviously she wants attention from you, with her stupid, ugly dye job... doesn’t mean you have to give her that attention, but you always do... No, I can’t, because everything is messed up and... I don’t know, okay? Maybe it’s better if we just break up again. It’s only a matter of time before you dump me anyways...

[grayson-anderson]

PM|| Grayke

[grayson-anderson]

I know that. I thought we were moving past all of that stuff. It’s more like she’s been talking to me. She was talking about a bunch of crazy stuff and I just blew her off, I swear. You can’t seriously think I would get involved with her again after things started getting good with us, right?

[brookeporter]

Some things you can’t just move past, Grayson. Why does she think it’s okay still to talk to you? Are you sure you’re not giving her any reason to believe that? I don’t know what I’m supposed to think. Things were good between us before, but that didn’t stop you from ruining everything.

[grayson-anderson]

PM|| Grayke

[grayson-anderson]

Did I miss something? I haven’t done anything lately, have I? I thought we were doing just fine. Unless this is your way of telling me that Valerie was actually right and not just making up bullshit.

[brookeporter]

Just because you haven’t done anything lately doesn’t make everything you’ve done to me okay. ...Valerie? Oh, I see, so you’ve been talking to her again... I knew it, I knew I couldn’t trust you... why don’t you just date her instead, since you’re so freaking obsessed with her.

[grayson-anderson]

PM|| Grayke

Do you wanna talk about why you punched me in the face? Or do you wanna keep riding the crazy train with Smythe?

[brookeporter]

Because you deserved it. Just leave me the hell alone, Grayson. You’ve ruined my life enough as it is.

Miles: Who said your mother has to know anything about it? If it's just me knowing about all of this, I'm not gonna be telling her anything. You can save yourself the trouble. I'll go with you, then I'll help you home. Take care of you as you need it, it'll all work out.

Miles: Right, I'm biking my way to the pharmacy now. No, actually, this is probably the only good thing you can do in a situation like this right now.

Brooke: How would I do that without her knowing about it? Doesn't she need to give permission??

Brooke: Yea.. okay.. thanks. Don't tell anyone about this, okay?

Miles: Yea, meaning you can get rid of the anxiety right away by knowing that you'e not pregnant. Or, if you are you can figure out if you want to abort it. The sooner you acknowledge it the easier it gets. Yikes, okay, your siblings are no help then.... I can grab you one? Maybe? It's not like I have to worry about something like that getting me in trouble, my partner isn't able to get pregnant nor am I. Could use the excuse it's for one of my movies if it gets back to my mom or anyone.

Miles: Okay, sure, you're not pregnant with that assholes baby who could possibly be a giant dick just like him or the Satan hell spawn just like his sister. Totally not. Still should double check this stuff, Brooke.

Brooke: ...Seriously? Have you met my mother, Miles? Do you honestly think she's gonna let me abort a 'gift' of God?

Brooke: ..Whatever, it doesn't matter because I'm not really pregnant.. but I guess, if you really want to get me one.. I mean, it won't do any harm, right?

Miles: Brookie, knowing is better than not knowing, trust me. That way you can sort everything out and get it over with.... Maybe someone can go get it for you? Your sister has experience in this sort of stuff? Maybe she has an extra test lying around or something? Or Andy could go buy you one, he'd probably do it with no issue, or someone you trust enough to go do that.

Miles: Trust me, there's plenty of ways to reap revenge on someone like Valerie Smythe. Especially since she was so clearly jealous of her. But it's probably a good thing now, you know? That you forgave him. Since there's a possibility you're releasing another Anderson into the world.

Brooke: ..Get what sorted out and over with? No, I'm not asking Lily! Or Andy! That boy doesn't know how to keep his mouth shut. Because of him our parents know about Lily's baby.

Brooke: ....Don't say stuff like that, Miles. You're scaring me. I'm not pregnant! I don't want any babies with that asshole!

Miles: It's perfectly okay, I don't mind lending you a helping hand in the advice and support department, you know that.

Miles: Not at all, because for you to be late because you're stressing over being late, you would have had to have been late first to even know about it to stress over it.... Brooke, we can send guesses back and forth all you want, but you and I both know there's only one real way to double check this stuff.

Miles: .... That's a very long time .... And I don't know, Brooke, maybe for the same reasons you forgave him and went to see a concert with him?

Brooke: I don't want to buy one of those things, Miles. What if someone sees me? What if they tell my mom?

Brooke: And maybe I don't wanna know.. It's scary.

Brooke: Well I didn't forgive him because I wanna sleep with him again, that's for sure. I don't know why I did..

Brooke: Okay, maybe I kinda do. I just don't want him to date /her/. And maybe I kinda like sticking it to her that I have what she wants. Totally childish, I know.. but it's the closest thing I can get to having some revenge.

Miles: I don't know? Have you been eating properly and stuff? I don't keep tabs on periods, Brooke. But I can guarantee none of those things you have to worry about.

Miles: You could have gotten the flu again, yea. But I don't think the flu would stop your period. At least not nausea and stuff. Only sever illness - high fever, lots of vomiting and diarrhea - can do that.

Miles: Have you had sex recently? Because then yes you can be. Also, how late are you?

Brooke: I think so?? Sorry, I probably shouldn't even be asking you questions about that stuff. I just don't know who else to ask without them like freaking out on me and stuff.

Brooke: Maybe it's something else then. Maybe it's stress related or something. It's not happening because I'm stressing out about it not happenening! Makes sense, right?

Brooke: Like a month... that's not too long over, is it? And no, I haven't had sex again. Why would I wanna have sex with that cheater? -.-

Miles: No, it doesn't necessarily mean that the woman is pregnant. Could be other complications.

Miles: Uh... Oh... we're talking about you. Nope, Brooke, the flu definitely does not last this long. You're fully recovered from the flu, been fully recovered from it..... is everything okay?

Brooke: Complications..? That sounds scary.. What kind of complications??

Brooke: I don't know, I still feel sick! Like, nauseous and stuff.. are you sure it's not just the flu? Maybe I got infected again or something?? It could be, with the weather being cold and all that... it's not impossible..

Brooke: And like, how could I be pregnant? That makes no sense at all... I just can't be pregnant. Nope.

Brooke: Just because you're late doesn't mean you're preggers, right?

Brooke: It must be the flu still. That's totally possible, isn't it??

Grayson: Really? Awesome! And yeah, totally.

Grayson: Oh, I managed to snag one for Miles too if he's interested.

Brooke: Duh, of course I do! It's freaking Britney Spears!

Brooke: Oh my gosh, that's so sweet of you. I'm sure he'll be just as excited, and he really needed a reason to stop moping around in his room.

Brooke: Um, how have you been doing, by the way?

[brookeporter]

Text ✉ Grayke

Grayson: Right, sorry.

Grayson: My dads helped me out a little, but the thought was all mine.

Grayson: But it's not too late to give them away if that's what you still want...

Brooke: Nooo, I want them! Definitely want them! And I mean, it's not that weird, right? Friends go to concerts and all.

Brooke: Thank you so much, Grays

[brookeporter]

Grayson: No, they're nonrefundable but I could probably give them away or something.

Grayson: I don't think it's awkward. It would only be fair if I gave you something for your birthday considering you gave me something. Something /really/ special.

Grayson: Besides it would just be some friends going to a Britney Spears concert. How awkward could that be?

Brooke: ...Can you please not bring that up?

Brooke: WHAT?? BRITNEY SPEARS??? ARE YOU SERIOUS?? OMG!! HOW DID YOU MANAGE TO GET TICKETS???
