Becoming Brooke

34.

Pulling up in Normani's car, all the girls got out. "You know I might not make it through the whole dance, you look fine as hell." Dinah tells Normani as they step out of the car. Tori looks at Ally and gags. "Get a room!" Tori yells.

"Will do." Dinah teases, and winks.

"Where do you think Lauren is?" Normani asks, and everyone shrugs. "I saw on Camila's snapchat that they were driving on their way over here, maybe she's not here yet." Tori says.

"Why do you have Camila on snap?" Ally questions, and Tori shrugs her shoulders, "I had to make sure the bitch didn't say shit about us."

"Guys I feel like I gotta throw up." Ally says, and Normani hugs her. "Girl after everything they told me, I think you'll manage you're a tough little cookie."

"Maybe after this I'll figure out why Lauren hated me so much during freshman year."

The girls laugh and walk up to the school. "I really hope Cat wins, I don't know a single soul that voted for Camila." Dinah jokes.

"And I don't know a single soul that thinks you're skinny."

The girls turn around, and Normani is ready to fight. "The fuck you say to my girlfriend bitch?" Normani shoves Camila.

"Hey!" Lauren catches Camila before she falls, and Dinah and Ally hold Normani back. Meanwhile, Tori is snap chatting everything.

"Camila go inside before we all get told to go home." Lauren demands. Camila rolls her eyes and walks away and waits for Lauren at the door. "Hey guys...you look good." Lauren says, looking at her friends and not Ally and Tori.

Ally notices a faint bruise on her face, she figures from Tori.

Dinah hugs her friend, "I didn't see you at the game yesterday."

"I'm here now, I'll meet you all inside." Lauren walks straight past Ally. "Lauren wait I need to talk to you." Ally tries to get Lauren's attention.

"Lauren please hear me out." Ally tries again, talking a little louder,"Lauren!"

Lauren stops walking and turns her head, "I have to go with my date, it was nice knowing you Brooke." Reaching for Camila, Lauren was about to walk in the gymnasium where the dance was. "I think I need to tell you something." Camila says loudly, in a warning tone."

Ally closed her eyes, and yells, "I'M ALLY!"

Like a gun went off, Lauren's eyes went wide. "You're who?" Lauren asks in a quiet tone.

"My name is Ally...I'm Ally Brooke Hernandez...the girl from freshman year..." Ally shakes from her nerves, and wipes a tear out of her face. "I'm not the same girl Ruby told you about, I never cheated on her and I never cheated on you!" Ally feels a ball in her throat but she couldn't stop now.

"You're Ally?" Lauren is still in shock.

The girls were all wide eyed, and backed away from the couple. Lauren started to walk down the steps, "Why would Ruby lie to me?" Lauren asks.

"Because she's a manipulative bitch." Tori answers.

Ally gives her friend a look, "We didn't date for a long time because she was terrible, but I don't want to be with her...I don't love her Lauren, I love you."

Hearing that made Lauren freeze,"You what?"

"I love you Lauren...I only lied about who I was because I was still afraid that you were still the same person from freshman year, and the whole Ruby thing should've never happened she kissed me I never kissed her...fucking christ I don't care if we get back together I just couldn't lie to you no more." Ally sounds like she is practically begging Lauren to believe her at this point.

Ally sees Lauren clench her fists, and charges straight at her, and all Ally does is close her eyes and waits for the pain.

"Lauren don't!"
