Brooke walked into the apartment, and saw Riley peeking through the crack in the door of the bathroom.
"Riley? What are you doing?" She asked. Riley jumped, smiling.
"I finally did it! I did it!" She whispered excitedly. Brooke furrowed her eyebrows.
"Okay, then. Do you know where Ben is? I was hoping to tell him something." Riley grinned more.
"Just making out with Zoey in the shower!" She squealed, and Brooke's face fell.
"Oh. Zoey. Okay." Then she headed for the kitchen, took out a pack of beers, and went out onto the fire escape, just as Danny came out and saw her crawl outside.
"What's up with Brooke?" Riley shrugged, still doing a victory dance.
"I dunno. But I did it!" Without asking what she did, Danny went outside and found Brooke staring into her bottle. He picked up a beer out of the pack, then held it out to her.
"Hit me." Without saying a word, she pulled out her pocket knife and used to bottle opener feature on it. "Thanks."
"No problem." She told him glumly. He gave her a small nudge.
"Why the frowny face?" He teased and she shrugged.
"Its nothing." She told him. "Don't worry about it." He poked her shoulder.
"Come on, dude. You're one of my best friends. What's wrong?" Brooke sighed, then she began to cry.
"I want Ben back!" She sobbed, leaning into Danny's shoulder. Danny reached over and patted her shoulder, a little awkwardly.
"I thought you were done with him."
"So did I!" She cried, taking another drink from her bottle. "I mean, I tried to rid myself of him so many times, and then I realised I can't because I love him! And now it won't work out because he loves Zoey and Sam!" Danny pulled the bottle from her hand and set it down, then looked back at her.
"Come on, Brooke. I know you. You'll get drunk, cry about this, then go out and find yourself a new guy, no problem!" She glared at him, then began to beat on him.
"Don't you get it!?" She shouted at him angrily. "That's what I've been trying to do for a while now, Wheeler! But I can't get over him! It's impossible!" Then she took her drink back and took another big gulp. Danny just looked at the ground.
"Well, if you ever need to talk to me without the alcohol and my new bruises on my arm, you know where to find me." He told her, then he went inside.
The Next Day...
Brooke took a swig of her fifth margarita and fixed her heels, then headed out of her apartment.
She was heading to the bar for the millionth time in a row to pick up guys, and she was already tipsy as eff.
As she got off of the elevator and entered the lobby, she saw a strong looking looking guy with dark hair heading for the elevator. She grinned, then wobbled over to him.
"Hey!" She told him drunkenly. "You look like someone I could have sex with tonight and not immediately regret it!" The man chuckled, looking at the ground.
"I'm sorry ma'am, but I'm actually on my way to see my ex girlfriend. I'm hoping to get back together with her." Brooke raised her eyebrows, then blinked and grabbed onto his chest for balance, and her eyes went wide.
"Dear, god! Is that real under there?" She asked, feeling his pecs. He chuckled, then took her wrist and pulled it off of his chest.
"Yes, and please, let me through." She smiled at him.
"Come on, at least have a drink with me up in my apartment. You can go and see your ex tomorrow! Come make some bad decisions with me!" The man sighed, but nodded finally.
"Fine, but one drink." She cheered and took his hand.
"Whoo! Drinking buddy!"
The Next Day...
Brooke walked him down the hallway to the elevator, holding his hand in one hand and carrying coffee in the other. When they reached the elevator, she turned to him, grinning.
"So, you'll call me later?" She asked him. He smiled and put his hands on her hips.
"Promise." Then he leaned down and kissed her, just as a door opened behind Brooke.
"Erin?" The man looked up and Brooke turned around to see Zoey and Ben standing in Ben's doorway.
"Zoey?" The man, Erin, looked shocked. Brooke and Ben looked to each other.
"Crap."
