*This first chapter is based off of episode 4.04 'Can't Stop This Thing We've Started' but with a twist. Hope that you enjoy. Comments are very helpful for my inspiration to continue writing :)

You could just feel the party vibe throughout all of Tric. Music was streaming through the speakers, teenagers were aimlessly dancing feeling infinite in the moment, and a mixture of flashes from the lights and cameras accompanied the room. It was just the typical Saturday night at Tric. Friends, music, drinks, and fun. Tonight however, the party seemed to be on pause with Brooke.

Sighing as she saw the bartended turn around, she lifted out of her seat and over the counter to grab the bottle of Jack Daniels to mix with her coke she already had in hand. Karen and the bartenders already knew that Brooke managed to get her hands on some type of alcohol even after they refused her a drink because she was underage. Instead of kicking her out and grounding her from the bottle they just pretended that nothing ever happened. As with any teenager who is told not to do something, she went and did it anyway.

Putting the bottle back over the counter, Brooke stirred her mixture aimlessly with the straw that was already in the cup. Staring at the swirling she had just created, Brooke seemed to be in her own world not really paying attention to what was going on around her.

"…I really don't think you should be drinking," Brooke was startled by the familiar voice of Lucas even though she had missed the first few things that he had said.

"What's it to you?" She looked at him with an annoyed look on her face. He obviously didn't care about her before, kissing Peyton in the library and then not telling her about it until Nathan and Haley's wedding, why should he start to care now? Which wasn't completely fair towards Lucas because he had always cared about her, she was his pretty girl.

"People are saying you are pregnant," Lucas said more as a question than a statement, "and if you are pregnant I don't want you to be drinking. You know its not good."

"I never asked you to watch over me Luke, I can take care of myself," Brooke snapped.

Lucas knew that she wasn't going to back down with her tone towards him so he had to be firm towards her instead of the trying to care route he was taking that wasn't getting him anywhere. "If you are pregnant with my baby, you aren't going to be drinking Brooke." He took her cup away from her. "Now I needed to know if you are or not. It's my responsibility if you are carrying my baby; I want to be there for you."

"Yeah well," she stood up from the bar stool, "you should have been there for me a long time ago." Brooke took that as her exiting line and walked away from Lucas and headed for the exit, she needed some fresh air to clear her head.

Sitting on the stairs outside of Tric, Brooke once again fell into her own little world again. It wasn't the type of world that she went to and saw herself in the future, a few years from now, being successful and everything. It wasn't the type of world where there was a magical forest with fairies and unicorns that she could ride away from reality. Instead it was a lonely world where Brooke saw herself in the dark, on a deserted road. It was where all of her fears, hopes, wishes, and desires came crashing together.

Brooke wasn't able to really process anything with the sound of the door opening and closing followed by the clanking of heels on the metal stairs that came after. Turning her head slightly she saw Haley coming down and gave her a small smile. "Hey tutor wife," her voice was raspy and quiet.

Taking a seat next to Brooke, Haley looked at her ex-roommate with concern in her eyes. "I saw you and Lucas share a couple of words in there, everything okay?"

"No," Brooke wanted to cry out and just lean on Haley's shoulder to cry but she was Brooke Davis, keeping it together when everything was falling apart was something she did best.

"You know how those Scott boys's are. Never letting you go a minute without them being in the back of your head," she chuckled a small chuckle. Haley knew where Brooke was coming from. For half their senior year, Haley was jumping in hoops of fire to get Nathan back.

"Brooke I'm just worried about you," Haley reached for Brooke's hand.

"Oh, Haley," she sighed, "don't worry about me. You have so much going on right now with Nathan, there is no need to worry yourself more for me, I'm fine."

They just sat there in a moment's silence. Haley wanted to say something she just didn't know how to word it exactly without sounding inconsiderate. Brooke definitely needed to get something off of her chest but she was scared.

Almost at the same time they looked at each other. "Brooke," Haley started. "…I'm pregnant," Brooke finished Haley's sentence for her.

Those words acted as a magnet between the two of them as Brooke softly cried into Haley's shoulder and Haley holding Brooke tight not knowing what to say.

After a moment, Haley pulled Brooke back looking at her wet, mascara running down her face, face. "Does Luke know?" Haley gently asked.

"No," Brooke whispered shaking her head. "And you have to swear not to say anything." "Please," she pleaded knowing that Haley would keep this secret between the two until Brooke was ready to face whatever was coming next because of all of this.
