Notices A Change (Richard's POV)

Richard came in from therapy, it was what he thought was best to change him on the inside, he should've felt great about the events over the last few days, but he wasn't feeling great.

~FLASHBACK~

His therapist asked "Richard, do you really love Brooke or is it just sex?"

"It's love, I've had sex before and it wasn't like this. I've never felt like this." Richard told, Dr. Melissa Greyson.

"Then here is what I suggest to you do, when you get home come clean to both Dean and Brooke. Discuss what we have been talking about since before you graduated high school." She told him.

"Yeah, I will be honest with them." he told her.

~Present Day~

Richard knew he had to talk to them and open up to them, so when he saw them in in the living room, he said "We all need to talk and I'll start."

After sitting in chair in the corner of the room they all sat there until finally Richard said "Umm, Dean don't hate me, you are the only person I actually consider my friend and I would hate for that to end, just promise me we will still be friends." he then continues "Umm, well Brooke and I have been having sex. But what you don't know, is I'm in love with her and I ordered her to basically forbid her from having sex with you, but I also know about the 'Master Plan' and Brooke wasn't my first time, I wasn't a virgin."

"Wow, I didn't see that coming, you changed a lot and I've noticed you left this morning, as your best friend who, might I add is worried about you did you go?" Dean asked.

Richard nods and says "My therapist, Dr. Melissa Grayson."

Brooke and Dean just sit on the sofa, stunned is the word. But Richard continues "I've been in therapy since, well before high school and she's been great, but I know I may have changed on the outside, but I'm still the rude, bullied kid on the inside," he then turns to Brooke "I apologize to you, for using you after you rejected me. I shouldn't have ordered you to stop having sex with Dean and I should have respected you enough to just have fun, I got out of control and thought I could win you, but that is very sexist of me. Even though you are a prize, I should never have done what I did and I'm also sorry I ordered you to come off birth control." And he froze, that was never meant to be said, at least not by him and what happened next, was shocking to Richard.

Brooke hugged him and Dean just acknowledged that Richard was being sincere and then Dean shocked Richard yet again "I can't get Brooke pregnant and she chose you to get her knocked up." Dean said as calm and concise as possible, "And congrats." Dean added.

Over the next few days they just talked, but the subject of Richard and Brooke continuing with the sex was on everyone's mind and now that it was known by all parties involved it might just be a good thing or was it?
