Affluence
Chapter One
Lucas and Brooke seem happy. They should be they have every right to be.
The dark blond walked around thinking to herself, "But what about me? Do I have a right to be happy? Who the hell knows these days? Lately I've been walking around this place trying to avoid everything and everyone. But misery seems to always find me where ever I go."
She sat at on the hood of her car that was parked in front of the outdoor basketball court. It made her think of Lucas. When Lucas won against Nathan, when he was cleaning the court, when he was shooting thinking he had lost his game. She then thought about what he did for her. The drawings that meant something to him, the drawings he submitted for her, the silent support he always gave her.
She assumed people would be leaving the cafe sometime soon to shoot hoops at the park since basketball at school was canceled for the time being. She even saw Lucas walk up to Nathan and asked him as well as the rest of the basketball team to join him at the park.
Both Haley and Brooke asked if she was going, and she couldn't say no.
She was the first to leave, after she said thanks once more to Gavin Degraw for performing.
"A pretty girl like you shouldn't be here all alone at night," a voice said walking up to her.
She remembers him. She remembered his voice, the way he sang, the way it calmed Jenny, his daughter. She remembered the look in his eyes when she complimented his daughter. And after that moment, she realized she was thinking of him...and not Lucas.
She smiled to herself and started blushing. She was daydreaming about him, which was strange. "I thought that the Mr. Jake Jagielski wouldn't talk to commoners after his amazing performance tonight."
"Have I offended you with that chauvinistic comment?" he joked.
She laughed. "Chauvinistic, is that even a word?"
He put down the baby next to Peyton as he positioned himself to stand in front of her. "I'm not sure, but it holds the same meaning."
She smiled at him; even his voice when he spoke held so much attraction to it. "I just thought I'd get some fresh air before everyone starts piling on the court."
"Everyone, or Lucas and Brooke?" he asked knowingly.
For once, she said to herself, it wasn't about Lucas or Brooke.
"I'll admit that it's weird...but it's not about Lucas or Brooke anymore. I think this time, it's about me."
Jake looked at her and couldn't help from smiling. "Good."
