The rituals were calming... shower, getting dressed, skincare, makeup, and hair.<br/><br/>Flashes of the very first coupling up ceremony came to her mind as she got ready. She had been excited and stepped forward for every boy. She didn't want anyone to feel left out. It would have broke her heart to see any of them not having someone stand up for them. Everyone looked so good. It was all so exciting.<br/><br/><i>That day, no one had picked her...</i><br/><br/>One man - Leon had picked someone else, then had his girl stolen away so he got benched. Then he forced to select one of the only two girls left. Like a toss of the coin. Brook was right, it wasn't a good feeling not getting picked... Like being last place at the pageant, or told to go home at a casting call. She had ended up being one of those two girls that weren't selected. Leon ended up flipping that coin and choosing Brook but that boy turned out to be a disaster.<br/><br/>Small redemption came when one boy she had noticed that first night at the bar caught her eye. She felt that connection with him. A spark like she had never felt from anyone before. When they all played their game of Never Have I Ever... Danny and her made a little flirty side bet and kissed for the first time. She didn't know it at the time but it was over... He had her in that moment. It felt so right... When the thing with Leon had collapsed Danny was right there to pick her up.<br/><br/><i>How had things gone so wrong since then?</i><br/><br/>During the last ceremony Brook had spent so much time getting ready for Danny... There was anticipation and excitement. She felt fun and cute that night. It was the opportunity for an actual beginning.<br/><br/>It wasn't meant to be... Everything had fallen apart that night... She thought it was over. Like a cruel joke, the boy that had saved her the night before, the one she felt so connected to was taken from her by another girl and in a cruel twist of irony she was to be shoved back into a couple with the very person that she had fled from and into Danny's arms. It was like the world was having a laugh at her.<br/><br/>Grace stood up for her that night... At least if Brook was going down she was going to have someone to lean on... Then like a fairy tale prince charming, Danny stood for her too. He had come once more to stand by her side. After everything that happened that crazy night she fell into his arms and for a brief moment the world felt right... There was something to believe in.<br/><br/><i>The next day was magic, from the moment they woke up after a romantic night under the stars... to the feel of him in the shared moment of intimacy they had in the afternoon. Brook was bursting with joy.</i><br/><br/>Then like the rug was pulled out from under her, Danny walked away with some other girl and his heart never came back to her. Brook still couldn't convince herself it was all real. It seemed so insane. Like a light switch had been flicked or someone had rewrote the script right before the shoot. She found herself questioning every kiss, every touch, every proclamation of being there for each other... How could that happen? How could anyone just suddenly go from being so present in the moment to suddenly being gone?!! Heart and soul.. Gone?!! It didn't seem real when she herself was still in so much pain and he... he just seemed like it had all never happened. It was like he was a different person.<br/><br/>...  Tonight was goodbye to those dreams of being in a couple with the boy of her dreams. It was one more night of torment and pain for Brook. Like every single night in the Villa had been so far. No rest from it, just every single day full of humiliation and heartbreak. What becomes of the broken hearted?<br/><br/>Standing in the line of girls and watching the remnants of her heart turn to ash. Brook tried not to let her eyes turn to glass but found she was unable to take them off of Danny. So she framed them with that pageant smile and vowed that this time she wouldn't break. No tears this time, even though every word Danny spoke felt like someone was scraping the hole where her heart once was.<br/><br/>In her head, Brook needed one more sad song to get her through this. If she could just focus on the song and not on what was happening, maybe she could just pretend it was all dream...<br/><br/><div class="bbCodeSpoiler">

<div class="bbCodeBlock-content">As I walk this land with broken dreams<br/>
I have visions of many things<br/>
But happiness is just an illusion<br/>
Filled with sadness and confusion<br/>
What becomes of the broken-hearted<br/>
Who had love that's now departed?<br/>
I know I've got to find<br/>
Some kind of peace of mind<br/>
Maybe<br/>
<br/>
The roots of love grow all around<br/>
But for me they come a-tumblin' down<br/>
Every day heartaches grow a little stronger<br/>
I can't stand this pain much longer<br/>
I walk in shadows searching for light<br/>
Cold and alone, no comfort in sight<br/>
Hoping and praying for someone to care<br/>
Always moving and goin' nowhere<br/>
What becomes of the broken-hearted<br/>
Who had love that's now departed?<br/>
I know I've got to find<br/>
Some kind of peace of mind<br/>
Help me<br/>
<br/>
I'm searching, though I don't succeed<br/>
But someone look, there's a growing need<br/>
Oh, he is lost, there's no place for beginning<br/>
All that's left is an unhappy ending<br/>
Now, becomes of the broken-hearted<br/>
Who had love that's now departed?<br/>
I know I've got to find<br/>
Some kind of peace of mind<br/>
<br/>
I'll be searching everywhere<br/>
Just to find someone to care<br/>
I'll be looking everyday, I know I'm gonna find a way<br/>
Nothing's gonna stop me now<br/>
I'll find a way somehow<br/>
And I'll be searching everywhere<br/>
I know I gotta find a way<br/>
I'll be looking</div>
