I found a place with hundreds of boxes at the end of the studio. I shrank into a corner hugging my legs and burst into tears. It wasn't enough that I had to leave my father alone in Seattle because I didn't dare look him in the face. Now he had to follow me here and ruin my dream job. He hates me, doesn't he? Because you only hurt this much to someone you hate with all your soul. I had been crying for a month until I got here and decided to leave everything behind.

"Brooke..." He caresses my hair sitting next to me, I look up and hug him. Thank god its him

I lean against his chest and he wraps his arms around me. "It's okay" he leaves a kiss on my head

"He's an asshole..." I mutter and sniffle. "I don't know who you're talking about, but if he makes you cry like that, he is." he makes me smile "Come on, tell me what happened" I sit up and wipe my tears

"It's my ex..." he frowns "The new guy on my team, it's my ex" I clarify "what did he do to you?" He asks me and I bite my lip "We lived together and with a friend of his"

"I can already imagine how this ends..." he whispers

"He slept with her at my house, which I paid for myself. I gave him a love nest for free for almost a year!" He gives me a sad look "On top of that, the bastard comes here and acts outraged! As if I had cheated on him like he has done with me!" I yell getting up. I've gone from crying to screaming. How I hate the mood swings when it comes to Ian.

"Months and I didn't notice! Months I spent in pain, taking care of my mentor while she died. And the idiot cheated on me! He follows me from Seattle and gets mad because I left without saying anything! What am I going to say to that piece of shit that crossed my path!?"

Chris looks at me without saying anything, which I'm thankful for because I needed to get that out. It is not the same to yell it in the mirror or in the shower than to say it to a person. "On top of that, he went to complain to the Russos because I told him I didn't want him on my team. But not because he cheated on me!" Chris gives me a condescending look. "Maybe a bit, yes! But also because he is a useless person who does not know how to work in a team and loves to take credit for everyone's work." I sigh

"And the worst thing is... Joe gave me a low blow saying I was behaving like a teenager." my eyes fill with tears again, he gives me a confused look "I know it sounds stupid but he knows exactly why that affects me so much...But that's a story for another day" I smile as I wipe my tears again. He nods and doesn't insist more.

He gets up "Are you more calm now?" I nod, he smiles and hugs me again. "I hope I never make you angry, because if you're going to insult me like that..." I smack his arm as I laugh. "See? That's the only thing I want to see on your face, a smile." I smile again

"Do you ever stop being so flattering?" he shakes his head and we both laugh
