Ben sat on the couch, cuddling with Bailey as he waited for Gretchen to show up. He smiled at Bailey, just as the door flew open, and there stood, not the very frightening Gretchen, but a very threatening looking Brooke. She was wearing a ripped orange shirt, a pair of dark jeans, and a black jacket with giant, black, combat boots. Her hair was pulled back into a messy ponytail that was falling out, and she looked like she had been in a fight, with a black eye, a cut on her eyebrow, and a bruise on her cheek. Riley was behind her, looking slightly nervous.
"Hey boys." She smirked, chomping on a piece of gum as she looked around at them. "Momma's home."
"M-m-m-momma?" Ben stuttered, his jaw officially dropped. Brooke went up to him, closing his mouth with her fingertips.
"Hey there, baby daddy. Miss me?" Ben went to Riley.
"Riley, what are you and Brooke doing here?" He whispered. "Where's Gretchen?"
"Turns out the number I had was from a stolen phone." Riley explained, looking at Brooke.
"Yo, Extra Large!" She shouted at Danny. "Quit eating my chips, those were left here for me, alright? Don't make me throw you off the fire escape again." Danny immediately dropped the chip he was holding.
"...And Brooke offered to fill in for her." Riley whispered. "She said she could handle it."
"Ben!" Brooke shouted angrily, glaring at Bailey. Ben came running to her side. "Who's the wigstand with a flat back for a crack?"
"Better question: Who's this?" Bailey asked, barely looking phased by Brooke.
"That's... that's Gretchen, Emma's mom." Tucker told her, shaken by the thumping that went along the floor as Brooke went to the bedroom. "Yeah. Yeah, she's been away for like the last six months." Ben nodded, trying to think quickly.
"Uh, um, yeah! Hey, Gretchen! How'd you get out so soon?" She came back out, smiling, her teeth white against the black lipstick she wore.
"Love that baby. Glad we made it to that alley." She announced, before turning to Ben. "Let's just say, I know a guy who knows how to do breakouts. We're probably gonna have to leave the state again." Then she walked back over to Bailey, and crossed her arms. "Hey, Tinkerbell." She kicked Bailey's legs, making Bailey yelp in pain. "Get your damn feet off my coffee table, that cost good drug money. In fact..." she looked at Ben, who nearly jumped at her glaring look. "Ben? Who's the blonde bimbo?"
"Uh... this is Bailey. She's a... a friend." Ben told her, and Bailey chuckled, standing up.
"Oh, I am a lot more than a friend." Brooke snorted, glowering over her.
"Good, because now that Ben has a real woman around again, I can sell you off like the failing prostitute you are." Bailey's eyes went wide, but she tried to keep face.
"Was that a threat?" Brooke nodded, her arms crossed.
"You can bet your pretty little ass it was. Now why don't you get out of my house, or else you'll be dragged out of here in a black trash bag." Bailey went pale, and she groaned.
"Fine." She growled, picking up her purse and heading for the door, before looking to Ben. "Thanks a lot, Ben. You could have broken up with me before this happened!" Ben shook his head as Brooke came up behind him and gripped his shoulders.
"Actually, I couldn't. I tried, like, a gabillion times." Bailey sniffed, trying not to show fear of Brooke.
"Well, I can take a hint." Ben threw up his arms.
"Again, I tried." She sighed, and stopped once more before leaving for good.
"And to think. I was going to make you marry me!" And she stomped out the door, just as Bonnie came in, looking confused.
"Whoa! Did I miss the show?" Ben turned to Brooke with a big grin on his face, a matching one on hers.
"Brooke! That was fantastic!" She let out a sigh of relief, pulling the ponytail out of her hair, Riley handing her a wipe.
"Thanks! I was worried the makeup was going to start to run." She told him, wiping away the bruise and the black eye. "I was trying to make it believable." Bonnie nodded approvingly.
"Well. Well done, Brooke."
