After the blow up at the open mic, Brooke and Ashlie made good on their agreement to talk outside of the social scene. During their meeting at the Den, Brooke expressed the reason for their relationship changing was because of Ashlie siding with Dawn after their fallout, not because of her relationship with Kanye. Ashlie realized what she said to a friend about Brooke was relayed back to her.

Later Brooke and Christian met for drinks to discuss the events that have transpired in their friendship. While it seemed as though Christian was leaning toward taking their friendship to the next level, Brooke felt it would be better if they kept the friendship casual for now. At this time it would be better if things stayed open instead of being exclusive.

**Sidebar: Some of the most solid relationships start with a close friendship. But a lot of times friendship will keep a couple from taking it further than just that. Hmmm…**

With all the stress I had been going through with work and launching my brand, I decided to go home to Atlanta for a weekend of relaxation. While away, to also relax and take time away from the drama, Bridget opened her home to Brooke, Jason, Pierre, and Christian for a dinner party. The laughter, wine, and comfort food only eased the mood for a moment when Pierre decided to confront Brooke and Christian with the current events. Pierre makes it clear that Brooke is not the typical girl he would date, while Brooke insists that the date they shared did not warrant the resulting drama.

Meanwhile… Ashlie confronted Landon about stepping outside of their friendship by telling Brooke the feelings she expressed at lunch with him and Allie.

**Sidebar: The first thing a friend told me before I moved to New York was don’t be fooled by the size of the city. If you don’t want something to get out, it’s best not to make it public. Because sometimes your words can go full circle and snowball.**

Landon assured her that she can confide in him in the future. But for Ashlie it will take time before she can trust him again…

‘Til next time.
Ciao Ciao
