Famous Relationships: A Mindless Behavior Love Story

Chapter 51: The Shipping

*Brooke's P.O.V*

       "You awake Bonita?" I heard Prince's asking in a very sleepy voice. I did hear him but I really just wanted to go back to sleep, so instead of answering him verbally I just snuggled up closer to him, not remembering who I was sleeping on or where. Frankly I was too tired to care, so I just  went back  to sleep. Well I tried to sleep at least until someone came to interrupt  that. "Comfy? you're welcome for the blanket by the way." I hear Nikki's voice say suddenly. I assume that she had just come out here, either way she knew from last night from what she said but I have to wonder why she didn't wake us up before? "Thanks Nikki, why didn't you wake us up last night?" he asked, in a hushed tone so as not to wake me up. I became curious about what she would soon say. I knew Nikki well enough to know that she wasn't looking Prince in the eyes anymore. "I just haven't seen her sleep through the whole night in a long time, that's all." 

I hated to admit it, but she was right. Ty caused us so much emotional, physical and mental pain that it literally made it hard to sleep at night. In the start I would wake up screaming until my voice was sore. My shrill screams echoed throughout the house, yet another part of why I had to move in with my mother. After a while I did get better,  I stopped waking up from my nightmares in terrified screams, instead I would wake up crying my eyes out. You would think my eyes were attached to a river with all the water running down my cheeks. I thought that I would slowly fall into depression by just the way I felt. I was just so unhappy and I wish I wasn't, I almost always felt like crying. Though my family situation might not be fair for me, I'm willing to take on the responsibility and at least I'll have someone I trust by my side through it all. 

I could feel his eyes fall on me, he pulled me closer into his chest, "So you think she feels safe with me?" I heard Prince ask. I wasn't sure what Nikki answered, because she knew that my dad used to let me sleep on him when I was little when I couldn't sleep, it always worked on me even now so maybe she would agree with him. Her response was non - verbal but from the kiss on the top of my head I could only take that as a yes. When I thought about it I do, I've always felt safe around him, he was my Prince before he ever became Princeton. Quite literally he placed the role of a prince in a school place and I was Cinderella, we were five so of course it was really  cute then. I could have easily made the two aware that I was fully awake......or I could "sleep" and keep listening. It's wrong to ease drop on people but frankly based on the little announcement I made last night to the girls I wanted to hear it in her voice, in what she said, I needed to know that she does approve of him, even though she may not be totally sold on the idea knowing all the details. It would help to know that I wasn't making a mistake. Nikki herself, when it came to my love life at least, definately was a shipper. Based on our conversations I could never tell which one of the boys she was shipping me with, now more than ever that she knows everything and knowing her, she won't want to make the decision for me. 

It may seem like a silly thing, but she wouldn't tell me and she's not the only one around here that can play detective. "She looked happy, I didn't want to ruin that for her. I haven't asked you for alot but the one thing I will ask you is just to keep her safe and happy, she's going to be your responsibility soon enough and I need to know you'll take care of her, promise you will take care of her for me or else...and you  don't want to find out what will happen if you don't. The fact that she slept throught the whole night is proof that she finally felt safe but my final words for you are don't screw up and don't be an asshole, because if you are then I'm sure you know who she'll call when you screw up. Yes, notice I said "when" and not "if" because eventually all you boys find a way to screw up and break a girl's heart when they least expect it. So please, for her sake and your safty don't try to screw up, for ten maybe twenty years. That gives you enough time to get all the functionality of your little friend before he becomes less functional after you screw up." That was Nikki for you, always looking out for me even if it means her planning out when she'll knock the weave off Princeton's curly head. She always did believe he did something to get his hair that way but she never seemed to believe me when I told her otherwise. 

It got quiet for a few seconds and then I  could hear footstep, I could only assume that Nikki was walking away. "Oh, by the way you might want to wake her up and if she doesn't I'm SO putting her bra in the freezer." Nikki said finally before walking away. "You wouldn't" I sang, in my half sleeping state. "Oh yes I would." she replied back, singing cheerfully. This of course made me get off Prince's lap and chase after her, God knows she has a devious mind........
