Brooke slammed her car door shut

Brooke slammed her car door shut. She took a deep cleansing breath and walked into the small pit-stop store.

DING the bell rang as she entered. A scruffy, cave man, looking clerk stared at her. What was his problem? Brooke averted her eyes to the floor as she walked. The almost cheery music added to her frustration. She couldn't back out again. She had to know, the suspense was killing her. She stopped dead in her tracks as she saw the box. The sighed, if only there was someone to lean on. But she knew she could never forgive Lucas or Peyton. The cheating jerk he was and with her best friend! Well ex-best friend. Brooke quickly snatched one and fast walked to the counter. She slowly put it down.

"Is that all?" he asked. Brooke nodded and looked around to make sure no one she knew was there. But all she saw was a bunch of old lady's looking for some medicine.

"Five dollars," he said. She slid him the bill.

"Is there a-"

"Down the hall and to the left," he cut her off. She smiled and grabbed the bag.

"Ugh," Brooke gagged. It smelt horrible. The dim light made it hard to read the instructions. Rapidly, she shook the test when she finished.

"Come on, Come on," she muttered as she continued to shake the crap out of it.

"Oh shi-"

"Excuse me, is anyone in there?" a squeaky voice was heard. Brooke jumped out of her skin. She threw the stick in the bag, and placed it in her purse.

"Thanks," a little girl said as she sprang into the bathroom. She must have had to go.

Like a zombie she walked slowly to her car. Brooke rested her head in her hands and sobbed.

Karen walked towards the store. Man what a long day she thought. Karen stopped to ponder. Who owned a pale blue bug? Oh, yes, that's right Brooke. She walked over and saw Brooke sobbing. She gently knocked on the window. Brooke looked up at Karen. She rapidly wiped her tears.

"Hunny, are you okay?" Karen asked when Brooke rolled down the window.

"Huh, oh yeah I'm fine," Brooke said offering Karen a fake smile, which Karen saw right threw.

"Are you sure?" Karen asked this time hoping for an answer.

"Of course," Brooke said as she started the car.

"Well, if you wanna talk, you know where to find me," Karen said with a hint of disappointment present in her voice.

"Thanks Karen. Bye," Brooke said as she backed out.

Karen waved goodbye and headed in the store. She scanned the aisles for cough drops. Keith had a horrible cough that was keeping her up at night. Being a man, he didn't want to go to the hospital to check it out. Karen smiled as she picked up a package of cherry lozenges. She quickly scanned her mind for anything else they would need. Hmmm…..bread? No. milk? No. cereal. Yes. Karen grabbed Lucky Charms, Lucas' favorite.

"How are you today, Karen?" the clerk asked.

"Just fine, Joseph. How about yourself?" Karen asked as she placed the cereal and lozenges on the counter.

"I've been better. Business was slow today until about an hour ago. You sick?" he asked as he held up the lozenges to be scanned.

"No, my fiancée, Keith is," Karen said as she dangled her hand in front of him.

"What?! When did this happen?" Joseph asked.

"Last night," Karen said as she pulled out her wallet.

"Congrats," he said as he took the money.

"Thanks," Karen said, beaming.

"Your-"

SCREEEEECH BOOOOM

Karen and Joseph turned around to see what that terrible noise was.

"No….No," Karen said as she ran out of the store.
