"I don't understand" I whimper looking at Lucas standing in front of me. We we're just outside the library at school and the halls were deadly silent. Everyone seemed to have left already "What happened for you to hate me so much?" Lucas leaned in closer and my breath catched in my throat. I was too scared to move so I didn't. I stayed as still as I could. Lucas had no emotion on his face as he got closer to me. I then felt his hot breath on my neck just by my ear as he whispered "Me being your boyfriend ruined my life" and just like that my whole world turned upside down. My heart shattered into a million pieces as I saw the scowl he now had on his face. He gave me one more look over before he turned around and headed back down the hall.
"Morning Sunshine" Jake says barging into my room "I thought you'd never get up"
"I was debating it" I push back my covers and stretch out my arms "Whoever said drinking on a school night was a good idea are totally wrong" The pounding of my head getting worse with every moment I made.
"You went out again last night Brooke... Really?" Jake raised his eye brow in disapproval. I roll my eyes at him walking into the bathroom to take a quick shower "I did come by last night and you wasn't in. Your dad said you were with Haley and Rachel"
"Was that before or after he left on his business trip?" I reply sarcastically poking my head out of the curtain to my shower knowing he was standing there.
"Okay so he wasn't here, but the note did say you were with them"
"And I was until Felix came by and we bailed for a party" I got back into the shower and start to wash my hair and body.
"Brooke you know that douche isn't good to you. He cheats on you all the time" Jake ranted "Look what his done to you"
I turn the shower off and grab the towel from the hanger and wrap it around myself getting out "Felix didn't do this to me Jake I did it to myself and so what if Felix sleeps with half the school... His still coming back to me"
"But your better than that Brooke" Jake preaches for about the millionth time within the 8 months of me and Felix dating.
"How many times do we have to keep doing this Jake?" I question walking pass him and into my bedroom.
"Until you wake the hell up and realise what a dick Felix really is" He replies.
"Why won't you just except that Felix is my boyfriend and that I'm not leaving him anytime soon" I pull a white sweater and some faded blue skinnies from a hanger and put them on my bed.
"Because you deserve better Dimples and sooner or later you'll realise that"
"I did have better Jake and he left me without even telling me why and now he hates me and doesn't hesitate to show it" I throw back at him drying my hair before slipping my sweater over my head and then pulling on my skinny jeans.
"I wouldn't call douche bag Scott better Brooke, but at least he isn't Felix"
"You know he never use to be the way he is" I utter turning to face him pulling a brush through my brown locks "Now can you please stop moaning at me and go start my car to warm it up a little" I chuck him the car keys hearing him grunt before leaving my room.
The joys of having a bestfriend.

"All I'm saying is Felix should realise how awesome you are and stop treating you like something he stepped in"
We had just gotten to the school and the whole drive was full of Jake and his famous lectures he decided to give me at least once a day... Something I wish he'd stop, but I know Jake and that's something he won't do until I listen to him he'll never stop. Yeah okay so maybe he is right, but at least Felix wants me, yeah maybe he does sleep with everything that bats their lashes at him, but his my boyfriend and that title doesn't come all the time with a girl like me.
I might come from a wealthy family and some might even tell me how pretty I am, but if you're not on Lucas Scott's team then you might as well be dead because Lucas and his stupid friends seem to think they run the school. And being their number one target is not a good thing, but me Brooke Davis has never left that privilege behind. For 2 years... 2 whole years I have been Lucas's target and I've never known why. Lucas and I use to be bestfriends... Actually we use to date and everything was fine. We were together ever since we were 13 and for those 2 years life was perfect, but then suddenly everything changed. Lucas changed and now he hates me and I don't know why.
"Jake I get it you hate him, but I'm not going to dump him just because you want me too" I state getting out of the car and shutting the door "Now please just drop it and be there for me. I love you Jake I do. Please just be my bestfriend"
"Okay Dimples... I love you too" Jake wrapped his arms around me and squeezed me tight "Now let's get to our lockers before the bell rings"
I get to my locker putting in my code I feel a hand snake around my waist and a soft kiss to my neck "Hey there beautiful"
"Hi Felix" I mutter swapping my books around then shutting my locker and turning to face him.
"What's wrong Brooke?" He had concern in his voice and worry in his eyes, but I look away from him only to notice Lucas standing at his locker just down the hall from us. He was flirting with his latest conquest Peyton Sawyer. The one bitch I hate in this whole school and Lucas knows that, but yet he hooks up with her anyway "Brooke... baby" His voice brought me back to him and before I looked at him I saw Lucas's eyes flash towards me and I could feel his eyes baring into me so I do the only thing that seemed to piss him off. I smile up at Felix and lean into him placing a kiss to his lips.
It seemed Lucas didn't like Felix and I wasn't sure if that's because his with me or if he just generally don't like him, but either way it bothers him which is why I do it. Let him feel something for a change... I'm always the one that goes home crying hurt by the next thing Lucas does to me. It seems like I mean nothing to him and when my dad asks about him I play it off like everything is fine.
"Nothing's wrong" I whisper into our kiss "But I think you have a meeting today don't you"
Felix looked up at the clock and his eyes went wide "Oh crap I do. Shit I have to go babe" I nod as he quickly kissed me on the lips then walked pass me. Once Felix is out of sight I walk down the hall and turn the corner.
"I don't understand why you'd stay with him?" That comment got me to stop half way down the hall. I look around only to notice no one was in sight but Lucas. His baby blue eyes were looking back at me. How I've missed him. We use to do everything together and when that stopped; it affected me dramatically. His presence was gone, from my life and it hurt. It hurt so much that Dad begged me to go counselling for it "His no good for you Brooke... He'll hurt you"
"What... like you did?" I hiss clenching my teeth narrowing my eyes at him "It's none of your business anyway" I turn around and go to walk off when I hear him again "Not anymore anyway"
"He slept with Peyton you know"
"Yeah and so have you... What's your point?"
"You shouldn't let him walk all over you Brooke?"
"Well it's not like I have anyone to care Lucas... At least he loves me" I bite back at him "He'll only leave if I tell him too. His not going to walk out on me... Not like you did" I then turn back around and quickly pace down the hall to my first class.

"Oh come on Luke... Please" I jump up and down in front him playing his consol "Let me play too"
"Pretty Girl this game isn't for you" He says not looking at me, but at the TV still "We'll play something for you in a little bit"
"No!" I stomp my foot and cross my arms narrowing my eyes at him "I wanna play this one with you. Please Broody with a cherry on top"
Lucas groaned grabbing the spare controller and passing it to me "You aim with L2 and shoot with R2"
I grin back at him taking the controller and sitting on the bean bag beside him "I've got this Broody"
"Brooke you don't even like watching horror films so I don't know how you're going to kill..." His sentence trailed off when I shot down 15 zombies "How?"
"I told you I've got this Broodster" I give him a cheeky wink then go back to playing the game.
45 kills later and the game was over "I can't believe you actually killed that many zombies Brooke"
"I told you I could play"
"But how?"
"Just accept that your girlfriend is better at COD than you are Broody" I place the controller down and cross my legs turning to him.
"But you've never played before so I don't get it"
"I taught her bro" We both turn to the voice of Lucas's older brother Nathan "She's pretty good"
"Thank you Nate" I grin back at Lucas "See I'm pretty good"
"Oh you suck" I poke my tongue out at him and climb onto his lap "But I love you"
"I love you" I tell him kissing his cheek.

"Hey Brooke" I looked up from my book and saw Haley walking towards me. She was my other bestfriend. She and I met a year after Lucas left me and she transferred to our school "Whatcha reading?" she plonked herself down on the grass beside me.
It was currently lunch time and Felix had told me he had some football practice on the field so I was sat under my favourite tree in the courtyard. I didn't really want to bump into Lucas or one of his little minions so I knew being out in the courtyard was probably the safest place at lunch time.
"Just Catching Fire. I'm kind of behind on the whole hunger games book thing, but I thought since it was recommended to me I should read them" I look at the cover of the book and then back at Haley "They were right they are awesome books"
"The films aren't too bad either" Haley comments leaning back against the tree "So I saw you speaking to Lucas this morning"
"I wouldn't call it talking" I mumble putting my book mark in the book to save my page and put the book down beside me "He was just being his very annoying self thinking he can tell me what to do"
"But I thought he hates you"
"He does and still to this day I have no idea why" And I didn't. One day we were out having our usual date night and then the next day I was cut out of his life. He just stopped talking to me and then he started to be mean and say horrible things. It all happened so fast I didn't see it coming half the time "But Lucas also thinks he can control me because he knows that I still hurt with the sudden change of us being together"
"That just makes him an asshole" Haley states turning to look at me. She crossed her legs and picked at the grass "Why would you date him anyway?"
"Believe it or not he never used to be like this. The Lucas Scott I used to know was kind and gentle and he did really love me and I truly loved him too" I explain feeling a little sad that everything changed when I never wanted it too "The old Lucas Scott would have done anything for anybody, but I guess people change" Haley just nodded and then changed the subject ending us in some light conversation before the last bell rang.
