Becoming Brooke

30.

Tori spits out her coffee, and bursts out laughing. "What the hell?" Dinah says.

"My bad saw something funny on my phone."

"But you weren't on your phone."

"Shut up Dinah."

Lauren looks at Tori confused, but waves it off. "Yeah Ruby, she went to LA after a bad break up with some girl I forgot her name." Lauren explains, and Ally does everything in her power not to make a face. "Really, that sounds interesting." Ally feels as if her anxiety is gonna take over.

"Mhmm, so after practice we can all go out together." Lauren suggest, and that comment made Tori laugh again. Ally glares at her friend, and Tori immediately shuts up.

Turning back to Lauren, Ally smiles, "Sounds great!"

"This is terrible, Ruby isn't gonna keep her mouth shut I can't handle it." Ally is freaking out in the bathroom, while Dinah and Tori watch their friend freak out.

"So you and Ruby dated for about six months, broke up because she was too much and when y'all broke up it took another six months before she actually left you alone because she had a bit of an obsession with you?" Dinah tries to process what Tori and Ally told her.

"I wouldn't say 'a bit', she threatened me because she thought Ally and I slept with one another then popped up every morning at our school to try and talk to Ally and don't even get me started on all the numbers she's had just to contact Ally." Tori tells Dinah, and Dinah cringes, "Damn...I've heard Lauren mention it but I didn't think she was like that, from what I remember Ruby got cheated on and the girl wouldn't leave her alone."

Ally groans, "Ugh this is terrible, I need to tell Lauren the truth before everything explodes."

"That suck, Ruby isn't a bad friend but she's not a good friend for Lauren, she is always doing drugs and drinking and smoking like I literally don't know why Justin Bieber couldn't stay in LA." Dinah complains.

Ally looks at herself in the mirror, "Why couldn't I just be Ally, why couldn't I just be brave and I could've just faced Lauren when I got here?"

"Because you threw a book at her, made her bleed, while she was still a raging bully lunatic who obviously had insecurities at the time, why don't you talk to her about it?" Tori suggest and Dinah smacks her head, "You had to bring up the book situation?"

The girls stop talking for a second as the door opens, but when nobody walks in they continue.

"You told me she was literally gonna kill Ally the next day, I'm just slightly worried once she knows that Brooke is really Ally she wont look at her the same then I'm gonna have to be escorted off of school property in hand cuffs." Tori explains.

"I see where you're coming from but Lauren has gotten better, I know my bestfriend hasn't always been nice but I think it was just her not trying to relive her early childhood trauma...I honestly couldn't tell you about Lauren she's like a sensitive time bomb to certain situations like this one time I said I didn't like the candidates so I'm just not gonna vote she literally gave me a whole lecture I'll never forget and-."

"Dinah babe, you're rambling." Ally says and gets her stuff to head to the softball field.
