What's Wrong With Milkshakes?

Part 29

"Hello?" Brooke says. My heart is literally in my mouth.
"Brooke" I say, "I'm sorry"
"He was my favourite celebrity, my idol, he was everything to me and you know that" She sobs.
"Let me explain what happened." I say bluntly. Theres no point in apologising profusely, shes not going to give in. I just need to explain what actually happened, that I didn't intentionally hurt her.
"Theres no need. I saw what happened. You met him at the show and asked him on a date, he said yes just to be nice, and you took him to get an Oreo milkshake, as you'd stalked him enough to know that those are his favourite. Now hes gone to London for the next part of the tour, and you're probably sat at home wondering why he didnt leave you his phone number or even take you with him. You fell for a celebrity Lexi, a celebrity who doesnt care about you at all" Brooke says, crying down the phone. I take my phone away from my ear, letting her cruel words sink in.
"Brooke, that's not what happened. He came in to the coffee shop the morning of the show, asking for a milkshake. Now I didnt have a clue who he was, and I just thought he was some cute guy on holiday here or something. But when 3 little girls ran over to him whilst he was ordering the milkshake, asking him for autographs, I realised who he was. And then a couple of hours later you came in with a spare ticket for the show, and I wanted to see him again, I wanted to make sure he was real. Then when I hugged him at the meet and greet he asked me on a date, and I couldn't say no to him. We spent a couple of days together, and now I'm in London, with him. I'm staying with him until the tour ends, and he asked me to be his girlfriend earlier today. I'm sorry I didnt tell you, but I knew how you would react. And even I thought it was just going to be a fling, but it's not. I love him Brooke. And I'm sorry that I left you to find out how you did." I say,trying not to start crying.
"You're his…girlfriend? You do realise he is just playing with your feelings. Lexi, hes a celebrity, and we both know hes not particularly good at finding love, let alone finding love with a normal person. I do believe you though, but I think you've made a massive mistake." Brooke tells me. Theres only so much i can deal with from Brooke, so I end the call. I stand outside for the next 5 minutes just thinking about everything that Brooke's just told me. My thoughts are interrupted by Perri.
"Hey babe, are you coming inside any time soon?" he asks me. I look at him, he looks happy, genuinely happy. I dont want to break his happiness, I dont want to ruin him.

"Perri," I say, "I think we need to talk."
