Brooklyn's POV

(~~Present until change~~)

"Come onnnn, I'm hungry child!" Julie grabbed my arm and pulled me into the trash can. I laughed at her childish behavior. 

"I'm coming, my goodness woman!" Alex,  Moe, and Christen laughed. It's sad to say, but I think Julie is happier with Zach. I haven't met him myself, but he seems like a good guy. 

We got onto the elevator and heard a familiar noise. Click click, boom. The elevator stopped and we all let out a sigh. "This sucks, I mean not to scare anyone, but the last time, not the best day." 

"Well atleast were all in here now." Christen said and we all sat down. Mallory was standing next to me and sat down next to me. "I'm so tirrrrred!" Mallory leaned against the wall and on accident out of instinct I wrapped my arm around her shoulders. She leaned her head on me though, so I think she didn't realize what she was doing either. 

"Soo... umm well, you know maybe we should just have some silence." Alex said and stopped and looked down at her hands. I played with Mallory's hair resting on me and her eyes drifted shut. 

She fell completely asleep and the questions flowed out of their mouths rapidly. "Awww, do you miss being with her?" 

"I'm sorry you and Mal were cuter!" 

"Hey, how serious are you and Joey?" 

"Why did you break up, you two were so freaking cute!" 

"I miss this relationship!" 

"Are you sad that-?"

"Stop! Please, I don't want to talk about relationships." They all looked down and were silent. "Sorry, it's just not comfortable right now, I didn't do that to you guys." Casey and Moe looked uncomfortable, while Christen, Julie, and Alex looked guilty.

I just remember the last time I got stuck on the elevator.

~~~~past~~~~

"I believe that was the elevator...stopping." Well this sucks, how do you sit in an elevator with people you're competing or like, well then there's Alex, I'm not competing with her and I don't like her the same way I do Mallory and Steph. 

Mallory is closer to my age, but Steph's so different, she's just one of those people I just easily opened up to well as open as I get, she was a good person.

This worker is telling me that we have to wait three hours hell no, I mean three hours with Alex, Strph, and Mal, not bad, but I have no escape if something happens.

"Can't we climb out?!" I asked the guy in disbelief.

"You're stuck inbetween floors." That's just great! Typical luck for my life. 

"Well I'm not standing for that long." I let out a sigh and slide down the wall. 

"I second that." I smiled at Mallory's response as she sat down too. 

Steph started complaining, but I only caught the part about her phone dying. She's perfect. 

"Mine's at a hundred here I have a battery in my backpack." I handed it to and smiled into her adorable chocolate eyes.

"Aww thinks, I hope it's not three hours." I nodded and tried to hide the blush growing across my face. "To bo honest, I don't care everyone on my team knows I'll just fall asleep." That comment earned a laugh from Alex and Mallory.

Mallory's life, it just made my smile grow larger. She's perfect too. Do you see my problem, one second all that's on my mind is Steph, then it's Mallory! I need to make up my mind.

I fell asleep on Steph's shoulder, but was woken up by their voices. I was too lazy to open my eyes so I just kept them closed and tried to fall back asleep.

"One, Brooklyn let you on her phone, two she only falls asleep with me, Mallory, Christen, and Julie, occasionally Tobin, but she doesn't fall asleep like that with anyone like that." Alex told her. I started to listen trying to figure out where this was going. 

"Huh, weird, wonder why she did with me. Just like when we were at the pool and she kind of caught me starimg at the scar on her side, which I probably shouldn't have mentioned..." Good job Steph, well now Jessie and Chloe know too.

"It's cool, she won't care as long as everyone doesn't go around telling everyone, cough Jessie cough Chloe." Mallory told her and I tried to hold in my laugh, Andressinha was asleep like me.

"We won't." Chloe said.

"Yea, but she kind of told me how it happened." Steph said shocking Alex and Mallory. I heard both of them release small gasps.

"Wait what?!" They both asked waking up Andressinha and giving me a chance to open my eyes. I saw Steph look down at me. 

"Hmm?" I sat up a little and rubbed my eyes. "Oh sorry Aussie, I didn't mean to fall asleep on you." I did too, but she doesn't need to know that. I scratched the back of neck and smiled at her.

"It's cool." Steph smiled back at me. 

"We need to start calling her sleeping beauty too while were at it." Mallory told Alex and they both broke out laughing. Which this caused Steph to ask me about all the nicknames I have. 

"I don't even know Mallory and Alex can list all of them." I told her a little embarrassed and  afraid about what's about to come out of their mouths. 

Omg they did not just tell them about Brallory! 

~~~present~~~ 

I was snapped out of my thoughts by Christen saying my name. "Are you okay?" She looked at me a little worried and I nodded my head.

"We need to get out of here." I easily pried open the doors and jumped out of the elevator and helped everyone else out. "What you didn't want to do it shirtless again?" Alex joked with me, because of the sweatshirt last time. 

"Okay, let's go." 

"How- you know what nevermind." Julie said and we all laughed. 

~~~

"What took you guys so long?" Ashlyn asked us and we all just broke out laughing.
