She sat alone at the bar, or atleast as alone as you could be in a club surrounded by loud pulsating music, and a crowd of sweating bodies out enjoying a Saturday night. Tossing back a shot of Patron, her insides cringed as the firery liquind burned a path down her throat. How many was that... five she wondered as she twirled around on her bar stool, hazel eyes scanning the club for the group of friends she was there with.
She spotted them on the oppsite side of the bar, and hopped down from the stool, intent on having a good time. A wave of lightheadedness overcame her as she made her way over to her friends. whooaaa... she thought that Patron aint no punk...
"Brooke" she heard her name from behind. Turning around she was met with the solid form of none other than Owen.
"Well if it isn't tree hills very own disapearing magician." Brooke quipped . He was lucky she had a good buzz are she probably would have bitched slapped his selfish ass.
He took a step closer "look, can we talk for a second." is he serious she thought her head tilted up at him , contempt obvious in her eyes.
"Huh... Hell no!!" she spat turning to walk away.
His hand shot out and grabbed her arm halting her flight "I'm sorry, okay. I messed up, just give me a chance to make it up to you."
After everything that happened in the last month Brooke still was uncomfortable with physical contact. Her whole body tensed, and she yanked her arm loose "Don't touch me!" she yelled, her voice coming out alot louder than she meant it to.
Owen flinched , wonering at her strong reaction "what-"
"Leave her alone" Brooke looked up to see Lucas, his baby blue gaze intent on Owen.
"Look man-" Owen stared but was cut off by Lucas's firm "just stay away from her.' With that said he placed a hand softly on the small of her back, steering her towords their group.
"Thank you" she mumbled, ignoring the sparks fireing up and down her spine. She wouldn't go there agin, although she probably never left there in the first place. Then with three little words, innocent on his part, she was right back where she started.
"Anything for you"
