Hi guys, felt like doing something a bit new and after hanging around reading stuff on here and sitting on youtube, I fell in love with the idea of exploring Brooke/Clay a bit more..I know they don't have communication on the show so its going to be hard to get any kind of interaction right; but heres to trying! This story will be totally improvised, any ideas welcome, please review!
Story so far (not much of it ;D)
Clays been in Tree Hill for months now, hes friends with Nate, Haley and Quinn in the main...hes hung out with Brooke and Julian but not to the extent of being close or really friendly or anything..
Brookes with Julian at the moment, don't worry im not going to make Julian be some major douchebag or anything!
Brooke walked into Tric..drinking on her own, this used to be the clique Brooke Davis way of dealing with her problems. The problem was in the form of another fight with Julian about where they were meant to be living..he wanted LA, she would not budge on leaving, so she stormed out.
She sat at the bar, hoping for Grubbs to pop up and give her a couple of pep talk type lines..then she remembered..he left..she ordered 2 shots of tequila, much like Alex did, and saw a familiar looking profile sitting at the bar..quite skinny, but lean, hair roughed up in blonde spikes.
Something suddenly clicked..she knew this guy. She had named him "Nathan's hot agent guy"
Clay Evans sat at the Tric bar, another night of hiding any real emotions he had, and drinking away the sorrow. Maybe he would pick up a girl, maybe he wouldnt. Either way, he would still go home feeling as depressed as normal, even if he was in a girl, his head was in a different place.
He ordered 2 shots of tequila, and drank them without a hesitation, not breathing properly with each one. He retched slightly at the intensity of the drink, before considering what he should order next.
He thought about Quinn..he had a close friendship with her, something he loved, but she was leaning back towards David, her ex now. Nathan and Haley were quite rightly preparing for their baby girls arrival, and truth be told, he didn't really have any other companions in Tree Hill. He had people Nathan introduced him to, but he knew that he wouldn't be able to call Skills or Mouth or even Chase round for a drink unless Nathan was there. Nathan propped him up in Tree Hill..the only thing he could do is sit at the bar, drink and try and attract girls
Clay turned around, staring straight into the hazel eyes of a certain Miss Brooke Davis..it was awkward..he knew her through the Scotts but was he meant to say hi..or hello..or how are you? Or was he meant to turn back around and start playing on his blackberry, pretending he had a motive for sitting at a bar, drinking alone like some lonely alcoholic.
He soon decided on a "Hi", as she walked closer to him and slammed her shots down on the table. He had never really noticed Brooke before, with her light curly hair cascading down her shoulders, her outfit always perfect..everything always well put together
"Hey, Nates agent right?" Brooke asked, in her raspy tones
"Thats the one" Clay said, moving up so she had more space to sit
Clay motioned to the bar staff, and asked for "two of the same"
"Tequila aswell..good taste" Brooke said, hollowly laughing
"Gets the job done quick" Clay winked
"And I thought I was the only one who only ordered it just to get drunk!" Brooke grinned, lifting her shot into the air and downing it in a very un-Brooke like manner..it was also a bit fast for her..her eyes narrowed in disgust as soon as the glass left her mouth
"What brings a woman with a perfect life out drinking on her own then?" Clay asked, drinking his own shots, his blue eyes meeting Brookes hazel ones, and trying not to laugh at the expression
"Don't judge the picture just because its been painted nicely" Brooke said, and turned to the bar, again asking for more drinks
"Good answer" Clay mused, shaking round the beer he had now been holding for the whole time. In all honestly, Clays intention was to get drunk out of his head..it made him forget things for a while, even though it brought a bad feeling to the day ahead..but then Brooke showed up..it was way too dangerous to start getting rat-assed in front of her, he could slip something out about his past, she would tell Haley..and it would all get complicated. Clay liked being the guy that everyone thought was a no strings manwhore. It was not him but he liked the label.
"What about you, let me see.." Brooke started, counting on her fingers "Attractive..good job..nice big house by the beach...sitting at a bar, drowning his sorrows" she finished, and Clay laughed
"Don't judge the picture just because its been painted nicely" Clay repeated, and looked at her intently..she was obviously not in a happy place either
"Want a drink?" he asked, and she nodded
"2 more shots over here and whatever the lady wants" Clay said, smiling
"2 more tequilas for me too" Brooke said
"So do you buy drinks for every girl who walks in and sits next to you?" Brooke teased
"Nope, usually offer them a ride back to my place" Clay replied, with a cheeky wink
Brooke laughed, and took her drinks
"So let me get this right...You and Lucas..then Lucas cheated with Peyton..then you with Lucas..then Peyton likes him again...then they break up..he comes onto you..and then now hes married and had a kid with Peyton?" Clay asked, trying not to break out a smile
Him and Brooke had been steadily getting more drunk for the past 2 hours, sharing stories...
"thats the one...being the footnote to someone elses love storys always great isnt it?" Brooke said, bitterly, downing yet another shot
"heey, dont beat yourself up, not many can say that they had both Scott brothers and made a sex tape out of it!" Clay grinned, and Brooke punched him in the arm saying something that sounded like "funny"
"But you've got Julian now, not all bad?"
"I love Julian.." Brooke started
"So remind me why your sitting at a bar getting hammered instead of sorting your problem out?" Clay asked
"Its all hes been going on about..LA this, LA that, potential over in LA...gets go have a gooood time in LA! At least go visit LA!" Brooke replied, throwing her hands in the air
"Fair enough"
"Maybe your lucky you chose the male ho option..so much more fun" Brooke cackled
"You would think" Clay smiled..and saw the brunette was getting a bit worse for wear
"Im gonna call us a cab, whats your address?" asked Clay, and Brooke slowly told him, her eyes bulging out, making sure he had every detail right
"Thanks for this man" Clay said to the driver, and laughed as Brooke attempted to get out the cab
"Come on you" Clay laughed, stumbling himself as he walked to the doorstep, a hand thrown casually around Brooke's waist, supporting her, knowing that Julian, was not going to be happy at the predicament that he had let Brooke get into...then Nathan would probably find out, have another moan about Clay getting too close to people he liked...using the "im annoyed" pouty face on him and patronizing him about the fact he didn't know what it was like to have real love..blah blah blah...he didn't expect anything less...Nathan knew him as the womaniser, not the widowed guy who had got so far off the rails that he had to be sent to Tree Hill to recover
He knocked on the door, and tried to ignore Brookes raspy giggles as she heard a thundering movement down the stairs
"sober up please!" Clay whispered, which just made her laugh more
"Brooke?" Julian exclaimed, looking at her to Clay
"Wha-" Julian started, looking from her to Clay in bemusement
"We bumped into eachother at Tric, she drank a bit too much, thought I would get her home safely at least" Clay said, and Julian smiled
"Thanks..do you..you..know why shes so upset?" Julian asked, and Clay tried to think of a reasonable answer..he was pretty drunk himself
"Something about LA" Clay said, giving a little wave and turning round and getting back into the cab
"Girlfriend?" the cab driver asked
"No" Clay responded, and sunk back into his seat, revelling in the normal drunken state he was in..but maybe he had just made a friend.
