BROOKE.
“because, unlike you, jake is actually my friend and he
talked to me. he also showed me the video. and i am
the reason why my dad was ARRESTED.”brooke explained, her brown eyes burning with anger.
how could nina look so surprised? was she actually
going to keep hiding that from brooke forever? the
blonde could not even LOOK at her. shutting her eyes,
she took a deep breath.“you were never going to tell me, were you? if piper
had never decided to get revenge on maggie, none
of you would bother to tell me the truth. that was my
dad, nina. you were blackmailing my own father
behind my back. how could you?”
“this is the reason i didn’t tell you. everything i did, said or recorded has
really ruined my life from that knife to my throat. alright, yes, i recorded
it but it was also jake and will that kept it going. i should have told you
sooner, i should have but if i did, you would have reacted the same way.”
there was no winning for losing here. either brooke would be mad or she
would be mad. there was no middle ground. nina was never punished or
penalized for anything she did and it all caught up to her faster than a 360
and she didn’t know how to handle it. brooke was right– - she was never
going to tell her. it was easier to never tell and keep brooke than to tell the
truth and lose one of the only people who have stuck with her. and even
that was running on thin ice.
“—– - no. i wasn’t. i knew you’d finally have a valid reason to hate me and
you found out anyway. you might not believe it when i say i’m really sorry
brooke– i am. no matter the reason for doing it or not telling you, you should
have been told the truth before.”
