It Starts With A Lawsuit

Brooke
"You've been served." Oh fuck me. I look down at the paper, it's a lawsuit. The stranger walks away. I never thought I would be sued, especially for $3 million dollars. There has to be some way to fix this. I mean yeah the podcast makes me a good income but not a spare $3 million to just throw at the most famous male actor right now. He couldn't really give a fuck, it's all his ego. He's mad that i loudly declare his acting was horrible. Now I stand here in shook, with papers for slander.

Someone must have leaked it to the public, because with in those couple of minutes my phone is blowing up. The only notifications I care about right in this moment is the group chat called "3some". In this group chat has me, and my 2 best friends. Tessa the angel on my shoulder and Daisy, the devil. Tessa has a stable life, she got married to her long time boyfriend, David. She's one of those soccer moms. She has twin boys, they're 4. When she's not being a mom to her real kids, she's being a mother figure to us because god knows we need one.
Daisy is pure chaos. Every week she gets a new job for "life experience", but really she likes the thrive of being on the go all the time. She never slows down. I met both of these girls in freshman year of college, and we all have never left each other, now we're here in our mid 20's. The same mid 20's where one of us has kids, another one just bought a pet goat, and the last one is being sued. This group is something else. So I answer the group call.

"Are you okay? Do you need anything? Brooke, I can't swing by-" Tessa starts her motherly like rambling. We all know that Daisy is up for any opportunity for a cool story, because the next words we hear are from her.

"This is so cool, can I met Glen?"

"Daisy! This is not what she needs to hear right now."

"Oh come on T, this is a good thing. Brooke will get even more views, people love these kinds of things, that means we're all going to be living it up. All of us, me, you, Tessa, and Arianna."

"Who's Arianna?" Tessa asks.

"It's what's she named the goat." I finally join in the conversation.

Daisy continues "you know now what you should do, post about it. The pop news already knows anyways, might as well make it even more enjoyable, people love drama. The internet loves drama. EVERYONE LOVES DRAMA!!!"

"I mean she has a point" I say mostly to Tessa.

"Brooke, I trust you and love you, but don't do anything stupid. Anyways I have to go my loves, the kids decided to draw on the walls. Text me if you need me, and please stay out of trouble, both of you."

"Bye! Love you!" Everyone says at the same time ending the call. I think about the conversation, weighing both options, I pick the devil on my shoulder.

*Click* I look at the selfie I just took, it's me smiling happily with the paperwork in my hands. I caption it, "good job @GlenGrey, I didn't know you hated the first amendment." And post.
