*Brooke's P.O.V *

       "Girls relax, I told you already-" "Yeah yeah, we know, you can't tell him. I honestly think it's stupid that you can't though." Nikki said completely frustrated with me at this point. "He has a right to know, don't u think?" Madison asked with a worried expression. "Confessing to him won't do me much good, now will it? He'll be really upset that I kept this from him, and even if I told him I'm sure it would have been oblivious to him because he would be too upset to even hear the last part of it." I pointed out. "The course of love never did run smooth, a famous quote of Shakespeare that's still so true today ins't it.

I say you tell him, you both are effected by this. It's not good to keep secrets you know." Torri explained poetically, giving me an equally as worried look. I repeated her words in my head, contemplating whether or not telling him would be the right thing to do. I don't know what I should do, I feel so conflicted right now. A secret this big, I've been keeping it from him and the guys all these years. They might hate me for keeping this from them; but I don't have much of a choice when it comes down to it. A choice like this was made for me without me having a say in it.

"Why does my life have to be this complicated?!" I groaned. I fell back on the bed and covered my head with the pillow. How am I even suppose to tell them something like this with my nightmare of a past coming back to haunt me; and now I have my future threatening the balance of everything. Nikki tried to comfort me and then began her lecture on what I should do, sometimes I thought she was my second conscience. "B, I know this is hard for you but he deserves to know. It's better that you tell him on your own terms now, rather than him having to find out in some bazaar turn of events that you won't have the control over. You and I both know that; finding out that way will only hurt him more so try to avoid that." 

    "Craig really does like you, in fact I think he might even love you, so I'm sure that he'll understand why you had to keep this from him. I'm sure he'll be a bit hurt but he'll get over it, he has to." Nikki said in an attempt to comfort me, giving me an overly concerned look. I sat there for a moment comtemplating what I should do, then my train of thought was interrupted "So, what else has been going on with you Ms. Cinderella?" Madison asked trying to change the subject; not exactly what I wanted the subject change to be but oh well. 

 "Aren't you guys tired of asking me questions about me and Craig, I'm sure we're all curious to hear about Nikki and Ray." a half smirk crept up on me as I said it. All eyes quickly turned to Nikki. "Now that you mention it, Nikki how did Ray let you come tonight without him trailing behind you like a lost puppy?" Torri asked curiously. "He does NOT follow me around like a lost puppy." Nikki declared. Before anyone had the chance to reply, there was a knock at the door. We all gave each other confused looks trying to find out who was expecting someone. We all got off the bed and followed Madison to the door. We were all obviously skeptical to open the door since we didn't want a repeat of what happened at the studio to happen here. "Who is it?!" Madison asked the person on the other side of the door.

"It's me open the door guys." the person responded, the voice sounded familiar but it couldn't be. It took a few moments but I was the one to open the door. "PIZZA DELIVERY!" yelled Ray, barging into the suite with four boxes of pizza and 3 cases of soda piled on top of the boxes. Our jaws fell to the ground and we were all started to wonder why Ray was here with all that food.

"What was that you were saying about him NOT being a lost puppy?" Madison muttered. "I heard that!" Nikki cried. I looked down the hall to see if there was anything he left outside and there was nothing on the floor and there was no one else in the hall either. I then closed the door and walked over to where the girls were. Just before I had the chance to ask Ray why he was here there was another knock at the door. The girls and I looked at the door than at each other. "I'll get it this time." Nikki announced. She had just opened the door when Prodigy came through the door yelling "CANDY DELIVERY!" , holding bags of assorted candy. The girls and I turned and looked at him as he walked in with bags of sweets gingerly. I could see Nikki giving me the "Is this dude for real?!?!" look. I could see half smirks on their faces as they girls looked from Nikki to me.

I simply shook my head and told her to close the door, but before she could it swung back open. Walking through the door way was yet another member of the group, this time it was Prince walking in with large shopping bags of who knows what. 

He had a smile that spread from ear to ear, this was all starting to get really suspicious. Nikki looked down the hall one last time and finally, closed the door. "Ok I wanna-" Nikki started only to be cut off by another knock at the door one last time. "Oh you have to be kidding,what the hell?!!" she exclaimed impatiently, groaning as she answered the door. "Ok I'm here, the party can officially start!" Roc yelled as he entered the suite, holding......sleeping bags and overnight bags?! Ok something is DEFINATELY going on here. "Are there any more of you coming into this suite because I need to know if I should keep standing here with the door open." Nikki said growing more annoyed by the guy's invasion to our ALL GIRL sleepover.

Ray looked around at the boys, mentally counting them off to make sure they were all there, then responded, "Nope, you can close the door now baby." Ray smiled widely at her, trying to soften her up so she wouldn't yell at him. I looked at NIkki, who didn't seem quite amused at him dispite his efforts. "What the Dunkin' Donuts are ya'll doing here?!" she cried out, looking from one guy to the next. I noticed the boys slowly unpacking the things they had brought before answering Nikki. "Oh ah....you know.....we thought you girls might need some company." Ray replied nervously, I could feel everyone's gaze slowly fall on me. 

I looked at them all confused "What?!" I'm not the one that wanted to crash a slumber party here people." he muttered. "You're all here for her aren't you?" Madison finally asked. No one responded but we all knew it was true, they all wanted to make sure I was ok. The boys came fully prepared to spend the night, they Roc laid out their sleeping bags and pillows, Princeton served the pizza and soda and Prodigy was helping them and sorting out all that candy. The girls all went to help then except for Nikki and I. She pulled me aside before I could make another move. "Brooke, you're my best friend and all but you need to get off your ass and tell that guy the truth. It's now or never." she could become very convincing when she wanted to and maybe she was right about that. I really hope this is the right choice. I'm not sure about what I should do, never isn't that long is it?...............................
