Times change...people shouldn't, chapter 8
"Whoooo Hooooo... Go Joey " Frankito's drunken voice filled the room as he opened the door wider, allowing Estelle, Jakob, and Ramona to see in. Embarrassed, Brooke rolled off quickly and curled up in the blankets, trying to look innocent. "What the hell Frankito? " Joey said annoyed as he got up and walked over to him. "Jakob called us over to hang out n drink a little
Bit more, cuz no one gotz hammered tonight and that's no fun " Frankito slurred as he continued to try to peep around Joey to see Brooke. "That still doesn't explain why you're in my room..." Joey said annoyed "O yea " Frankito blurted raising his beer can in the air, spilling a little in the
Process. "I have to piss like a pregnant lady and Jake was in the other bathroom " "Ever hear of knocking?.. What if I was sleeping?" Joey sighed as he walked out into the living room area of the suite. "But you weren't..." the confused drunk boy slurred. "Dude, just piss already!" Jakob
Yelled while laughing. Frankito got that 'o yea I forgot' look on his face as he ran into the bathroom.
"Awwwww we're sorry Joey, we didn't know the pretty pretty princess was just about to give it up to you " Ramona said from the kitchen area laughing to herself. Jakob looked over to Joey, who was on the couch, and shook his head "don't man... You two argue enough as it is..." Jake walked over to his big brother and tossed him a beer "just relax.." Joey just rolled his eyes and put the unopened can back down on the corner table "No thanks, Jake. I'm not exactly in the 'drinking' mood tonight... I'm just going to go to bed... Night guys " Joey sighed as he pried himself off the very comfortable couch and headed off to his room. As he reached for the doorknob it turned in his hand, but not by his power. He looked up to see Brooke laughing to herself as she shook her head playfully and walked out of the room. "What's so funny?" Estelle asked smiling from the kitchen as she pressed her beer bottle to her lips. "Frankito..." Brooke started, walking over toward her and Ramona. "He decided he wanted to be a "pirate" and filled up the bath tub and then he started to sing to the Gilligan's Island theme song... That's when I decided to leave.." Brooke giggled again as she leaned up against the island table. "Man Ray, we can always count on your dad and brother to do something stupid..." Estelle said nudging her.
"Stop Stella! I don't want you shoving your elbow into me!" Ramona snapped moving over in a huff. "She's right Estelle..." Brooke said setting her gaze directly on Ramona across the table, while she addressed Estelle. "She doesn't want you shoving your elbow into her... She just wants my boyfriend shoving his-." Ramona cut her off screaming "SHUT UP YOU WHORE!" Brooke stepped back and placed her right hand over her chest "I'M the whore?! Sorry sweetie I'm not the one who went around fucking people when I was fucking 14!" At this point Joey and Estelle felt it was best to intervene. "Ok Brooke come on..." Joey said trying to pull her back into the room "it's late.. Let's just go to sleep.." "Joey, I want to finish this!" Brooke said pulling away and standing in a fixed position. "SHE'S RIGHT JOEY!" Ramona yelled from behind Estelle who was doing her best to hold her back. "She has to let someone finish something... I mean she didn't let Andy finish is job last year and-." "BITCH!" Brooke screamed as she lunged out of no where and shoved Estelle out of the way, reaching for Ramona's throat. She tackled her onto the ground with her hands tight around her windpipe. "Brooke! Stop! Stop it! " Jakob yelled as he tried to pull Ramona out from under her. "BROOKE!" Joey joined in with the yelling as he successfully picked Brooke off Ramona and held her back tight in his arms. Ramona got up and touched her sore neck, rage filled her eyes as she ran over to Joey and Brooke, who's backs were turned toward her as they walked toward their room. She pushed Joey onto the floor and off Brooke as she punched her hard in her jaw. Brooke fell to the floor and held her jaw in her hands, when she went to look up Ramona kicked her hard in the stomach, Brooke got up for her own swing at her but Joey grabbed her and picked her up. "ENOUGH! BOTH OF YOU!" he yelled, silencing the room. "He's right it's total bullshit!" Estelle chimed in. "Ramona you have to back the fuck off Joey and Brooke, they are together, as much as you may hate it, it's the truth. And Brooke you have to drop your fucking grudge against her We are going to be traveling Europe for next fucking 2 months together so I think we should at least get along " Brooke and Ramona exchanged a small glance before Joey pulled her away, "Come on, lets get some sleep.." he muttered.
"I can't believe that bitch! " Brooke said annoyed as she shut the bedroom door behind her. "I can't believe the way you two acted " Joey said flopping on his back on the soft bed. "Joe! She had it coming... OW!" Brooke whined as she clenched her stomach. Joey sat up "you ok?" he said as she started to walk over to her. Brooke nodded "It just hurts to yell and stuff... That whore kicked me right in my ribs and stomach" Joey took her in his arms and sighed. He took her chin in his hands and looked her over. "Your lip's bleeding... Come on we'll clean it up and go to bed.. Finally." Brooke nodded and leaned on him as he shuffled them over to the bathroom.
Joey pushed open the door and suddenly burst out laughing hysterically. "What is it?" Brooke said following him in. Frankito had fallen asleep in the bath tub with a bunch of kids toys surrounding him, where he got them from... God only knows. "O my God I totally forgot he was in there " Brooke said giggling. "Should we wake him up?" Joey asked looking at her. Brooke shook her head "just drain the water so he doesn't drown.." Joey listened and then turned to tend to his girlfriend. "She spilt my lip pretty bad huh?" Brooke said as Joey wiped blood off the corner of her mouth with a damp cloth and nodded. "You can go lie down, I'll go get you an ice cube to keep the swelling down..." Joey said helping her off the bathroom counter and setting her on the cold tiled floor. Brooke nodded and clenched her ribs as she walked off to bed.

"Owwwww my neck!" Frankito's voice echoed from the bathroom and filled Brooke and Joey's suite bedroom. "Ughh" Brooke moaned into her pillow, she hated being woken up early from a late night. She turned over onto her other side and snuggled up to Joey who was still sound asleep. She lifted her head up and kissed him lightly on his jaw line before closing her eyes again.
About 5 minutes later Frankito came bursting through the bathroom and stumbled out into their room. "Why didn't one of you wake me up?" he said rather annoyed. Brooke lifted her head off Joey's chest and batted her eyes. "Morning to you too." she said sitting up and climbing out. "I'm going to have a stiff neck for weeks now!" Frankito complained rubbing it and showing Brooke the indents that the toys left. She giggled silently to herself "aww but you looked so cute n there with all your toys " she ruffled his hair a little as he pushed her hand away. "Great not only do I have the king of all hangovers, but now I have a stiff neck... Which could have been prevented if somebody..." "Shut up Frankito." Brooke said bluntly as she slipped on some slippers and put on a warm hoodie. "I'm going down for some breakfast, want to come?" Frankito shook his head, "I'm going back to sleep.. In a BED" Brooke laughed and shrugged her shoulders "suit yourself." she said as she grabbed a spare key card and left the room.
Brooke entered the small dining area of the hotel and saw Billie, Adrienne, Jakob, Estelle, Ramona, and Tre already at a table. She walked over and curled into an available chair next to Jakob. "Morning." Adrienne said looking over at her and clearly noticed her cuts and swollen lip. "Morning everyone." Brooke yawned, pretending not to notice that everyone had clearly seen her condition. "Do you um want something to eat?" Billie said trying not to ask what happened, even though it was pretty obvious. Ramona too had some bruises around her neck area. "Yea, I'm going to grab something quick and bring some coffee up for Joey and Frankito... Anybody need anything?" she offered. They all shook their heads, as she got out of
Her chair and started to walk over to the buffet. As she made her way out the small area Ramona stuck out her foot, causing Brooke to fall hard on her sore ribs. "Fuck!" she said picking herself up and holding her sides. Ramona of course was laughing "Careful Brooke, you really have to watch where your going..." he said in a bitchy tone. Brooke was about to make a nasty comeback but then realized that everyone was there "Yea... I will next time." she muttered getting up and walking away.
Ramona looked pleased with herself as she leaned back in the chair and folded her arms, Tre gave her a look "ok Ray" he started "would you like to enlighten us all as to why you two are beating the shit out of each other?" Ramona looked up to see all eyes on her "What are you talking about?.. She tripped. It's not my fault if she's clumsy!" she said innocently. This time she received a look from Adrienne "Ramona, were not dumb. We hear yelling, and cursing last night, and this morning the two of you are bruised and tripping each other... What's going on?" "Nothing guys! God!" Ramona said annoyed "I'm going to see if Frankito's out of the bathtub.." That comment earned a few looks around the table but she ignored them and walked away toward Joey and Brooke's room.
Brooke was on her way to her room as she balancing a few trays of food and a few cups of coffee. She carefully walked to the door and realized her key card was in her back pocket. "Shit.." she said starting to squat down and trying to put some trays on the floor. "Need some help?" she heard a voice from behind her say. "Yea thanks" Brooke said turning around to see who it was that offered. She sat there confused and shocked for a little while as Ramona leaned down and picked up a few trays and allowed Brooke to get the card and open the door.
"Um, thanks.. I think" Brooke said opening the door and walking into the kitchen. "No problem" Ramona said following her and sitting down on the island. "So not that I'm not grateful... But why did you help me?" Brooke said still confused as she sat across from Ramona with her warm cup of coffee steaming in front of her face. "I just saw you struggling to get something and didn't really feel like seeing you spill shit all over the hotel.. It's no big deal" Ramona said twirling a small, thin green stoned ring on her finger. "O.. Well thanks." Brooke said, she waited a little while before she started talking again "Ramona, I don't really feel like fighting anymore.. This whole thing is pretty gay if you think about it. I mean your mad at me because I'm with Joey, and I'm mad at you because you throw yourself at Joey. So let's just settle now ok?" Ramona looked up from her ring and smiled a little "ok, ya know I hate it when Estelle is right... We are going to be together for a while so we should settle it I guess..." "Good." Brooke smiled as she got up to throw out her cup and walked Ramona into the living room.

Meanwhile, Joey was sleeping soundly in his bed. He felt a warm body press against him which caused him to wake up. He saw a patch of brown hair peeking out from under the covers "Brooke has blondish hair..." he thought to himself " Fuck what did I do?!" he said panicked He quickly jumped out the bed and walked around to the other side to see the person's face. He eye's nearly bugged out of his head "FRANKITO?! What the hell are you doing in my bed?!?!" Joey yelled grabbing a pillow and wacking over Frank's head. "OW! What was that for?!" Frankito said sitting up and rubbing his eyes. "To get you up! Now why are you in my bed and where is Brooke?!" Joey said still annoyed. "Calm down man, she went downstairs to get food or something and I didn't feel like going back to sleep in a BATHTUB that no one helped me out of last night, so I just took Brooke's spot and went to sleep." Frankito mumbled, falling back asleep. "You are so weird" Joey said shaking his head and walking out.
As he opened the door he heard giggles and talking coming from the living room, he grabbed his coffee that Brooke had gotten him, and decided to follow the noises. "Well, Well, here's a sight I though I would never see." Joey said walking further into the room and taking a seat next to Brooke, who was facing Ramona and talking and laughing. "Shut up Joey." Ramona joked as she tossed a coaster at him. "Hey! I think we had enough fighting last night... Which is why I'm so confused as to why you two are actually not... Killing each other." Joey said tossing his free arm around Brooke's neck. "In a nut shell, we realized this shit was dumb so we smoothed a few things over." Brooke said leaning into his embrace. "Well I'm glad to say the least." Joey sighed clicking on the tv. The two girls nodded in agreement as Ramona looked at the happy couple and sighed.
Bit more, cuz no one gotz hammered tonight and that's no fun " Frankito slurred as he continued to try to peep around Joey to see Brooke. "That still doesn't explain why you're in my room..." Joey said annoyed "O yea " Frankito blurted raising his beer can in the air, spilling a little in the
Process. "I have to piss like a pregnant lady and Jake was in the other bathroom " "Ever hear of knocking?.. What if I was sleeping?" Joey sighed as he walked out into the living room area of the suite. "But you weren't..." the confused drunk boy slurred. "Dude, just piss already!" Jakob
Yelled while laughing. Frankito got that 'o yea I forgot' look on his face as he ran into the bathroom.
"Awwwww we're sorry Joey, we didn't know the pretty pretty princess was just about to give it up to you " Ramona said from the kitchen area laughing to herself.

He looked up to see Brooke laughing to herself as she shook her head playfully and walked out of the room. "What's so funny?" Estelle asked smiling from the kitchen as she pressed her beer bottle to her lips. "Frankito..." Brooke started, walking over toward her and Ramona. "He decided he wanted to be a "pirate" and filled up the bath tub and then he started to sing to the Gilligan's Island theme song... That's when I decided to leave.." Brooke giggled again as she leaned up against the island table. "Man Ray, we can always count on your dad and brother to do something stupid..." Estelle said nudging her.
