Whatever It Takes

Few things are harder to deal with than having friends turn on you out of nowhere, Brooke Davis was definitely no stranger to that scenario, she'd gone through it with Peyton, with Rachel, and now it was happening with Millicent. She knew having Millicent model wasn't the best idea, as model's were under constant pressure to have a perfect slim figure, something Millie didn't have. Alex knew that as she'd used the term "plus-size model" and although she hadn't intended it as an insult, she may as well have just called her fat, Millie had gotten insulted by thinner women for her less-than-perfect figure all through high school, she tried to ignore they're comments, she knew she wasn't fat or bad-looking, but that didn't stop her from feeling insecure about herself, and Alex and all those people who talked about her online were unintentionally causing her to relive her high school days all over again, and since ignoring the comments hadn't helped in the past, Millie was determined to fit in for once by any means necessary.



Brooke could've tried to reassure her, but it would've done little good, since she knew Millie wasn't one to pass up an opportunity for success. And that was what worried Brooke most of all, she knew very well that success would lead Millie into more then just diet pills, she might soon get into drugs, and Brooke had already watched Rachel go through withdrawal symptoms, which was something that strongly affected of her, regardless of how she felt about Rachel after the argument with her. And of course Alex was going through it as well, causing Julian to spend more time with Alex then her. Brooke knew Julian wouldn't cheat on her, but that didn't stop her from worrying. So she'd thrown away her birth control as a failsafe, to make sure that Julian would get her pregnant.



Brooke was getting more nervous by the minute, she was worried about Julian spending more time with Alex, she was worried about whether she's been too hard on Rachel, and she was worried about what Millicent was doing right this second, Brooke had been hoping that Julian would call her, but he hadn't called back yet, "why the hell isn't he calling me back?" Brooke thought anxiously. She was getting tired of waiting for him and everything, so she smashed her fist into the mirror in frustration, "Fine! If he wants to spend more time with that manipulative little bitch, then I won't be waiting around for him!" Brooke screamed to herself. She decided it was time to act on something, she knew Millicent better then anyone, and she was the only person Brooke was sure she could help right now, so Brooke immediately went through her dresser, packing various items into a duffel bag. Brooke knew she had to save Millie before it was too late, and she had a plan to do it. It wasn't the most straightforward plan, but she was sure it would work nonetheless. Brooke immediately got into her car and drove over to Millie's as fast as she could without getting arrested, and walked to to the front door and hesitantly rang the doorbell, "please be OK" Brooke kept saying to herself over and over.
