Y/N's POV

I'm so dumb, why didn't I kick him out, it's my dressing room! I guess I will go seen if the girls stayed.

[walk walk walk walk walk walk walk]

Made it ! *knock knock*

"Come in" I hear them sing.

I get in and close the down behind me before slumping down against the door with my head in my hands.

"whoa y/n, are you okay?!?" They run up to me and bend down. I look up and I'm surrounded. "I hate Leslie..." I mumble but they are so close that they can hear me.

Renée is first with"Aww y/n/n [nickname] tell mama what's wrong"  she pulls me into a hug.
That's when I finally just break down. And Pippa rubs my back and Jaz pats my leg and they're telling me that everything going to be okay.

"Just start from the beginning" I look up and wipe my tears " They made a bet, those idiots reduced me to some stupid deal. Why are guys so stupid?" I go on but really want an answer.

"So Leslie told you" Pippa said.

"You knew?" still sniffling. "Yea that's what I was yelling at him about when you ran into us earlier. I told him, he needed to tell you or I would. I don't know what he was thinking."

[A/N: Idk if any of you have accents that only come out on certain words but my dad is from New York and my mom is from Ireland and I have been switching back and forth this entire time! Anyway back to the story...]

"He wasn't thinking." We all said and I giggled. "There's that smile" Renée says. "It's just we were suppose to go on a date tonight and now I don't even know what I want to do." I just slump back against the door.

"You don't have to decide right now. It can wait til later. Let's talk about something else." Jaz interjected energetically "Yea how did you like story-time. Did it help, I'm sure Lin just wanted to make you feel more at ease." Pippa added. We continue the discussion as they help me out the floor and we all sit in front of the mirror.

I try to give them a smile but say "it felt kinda weird, I mean I wanted the story to end but was the princess really happy with prince? Happier than she would have been with one of the brothers?"

"Honestly I think the princess was happy because she got to make the decision for herself even when the guys were fighting over her." As she bring that knowledge, I swear Mama Renée is the smartest of us all.

"As long as it doesn't end with me being with Lin. I'm too cute to be a mistress! I mean kissing him in the play is already too much. I'm so not looking forward to understudy rehearsals." I pout. "You are silly, but circling back what if the two brothers were Oak and Anthony?" Renée asked but they all raise their eyebrows waiting on me from answer.

"It would be easier then" I say simply.

"Oh really?" Pippa is smirking, that is so scary to me.

But I answer with confidence "Yea. Oak all the way!"

"What's wrong with Anthony?" Jaz asked leaning up to see me.

"Girl I see the way he looks at you, no one could steal his gaze." I smirk and Jazzy blushed and leaned back. I continued on "Plus Oak is pretty hot."

"So that's what you girls talk about" We hear Oak say from outside the door and they start laughing tell Oak to come on in and I go into a slight panic. Pip then asks him "Why didn't you just knock?" I lower my head no longer able to look anyone in the eyes, is this really happening?

"I was going to then I heard I was pretty hot. I mean talk to me nice y/n, why don't you."

He leans against the table next to me, I don't dare to look up. "Aw leave her alone Oak." Pippa steps in to protect me and shoos Oak away. "What are you doing here for anyway?"

"I'm just messing. I heard a certain someone might need cheering up. So your friendly neighborhood jester has arrived, if you will have me." I start to laugh at how cute this is. "I'm doing so good all ready, I'm actually surprising myself."

"That's a good one right there, you goofball. We did this. Now how did you find out about our damsel in distress." I feel so protected by them, all could do was smile. But I was also curious about Oak coming to me aid as well.

[ Just something light-hearted to lift your spirits, the next might be a bit of a roller-coaster so just bare with me, I'm trying to piece it together.]
