What happened this morning.

I woke up at four thirty this morning to the sounds of Brooke and Cody (her ex) yelling at each other. Apparently Brooke and Lauren haven't been talking for a few days because..Lauren kissed some guy Brooke liked, or something? Brooke asked why Cody was mad at her. Apparently Lauren was now crying in the stairwell and Cody went looking for her to see if she was alright, which is apparently more than Brooke did. Brooke said that she'd only been giving Lauren space because she didn't want things to be awkward, and Cody threw it back in her face with a "I know how you are, Brooke; you make everyone feel bad about themselves and make up bullshit". Around that time Brooke started crying, and then I really started feeling bad for her, because..this is the way girls are: They can be as bitchy or manipulative or underhanded as they want, but when you rip off that layer they're either completely fucking vulnerable, or faking it to make you sympathize. While Lauren thought Brooke was ignoring her, Brooke thought that Lauren was ignoring her. Then apparently they talked through text, and Lauren said it was fine and that she was going to sleep, but apparently she just stayed there crying. And that's when Cody stormed in yelling about the idiocy of the politics of girldom.

I don't want to hear this kind of stuff. It makes me uncomfortable.

And all I could do was lie there listening. And I had to go to the bathroom.

And that's what happened this morning.
