Prologue:
Brooke Davis never had an easy life she learned too earlier what it's like to lose the ones you love. When she was five her parents decided to go on a cruise and since she got sick a day before she didn't go with them. She remembers just a little about them and ironically her most clear memory was of the last time she talked to them...
5 years old Brooke was in the front yard saying goodbye to her parents, they decided that she was going to stay with her grandparents until they got back.
"Richard I don't think it's a good idea to live Brookie sick at home…maybe we should..." Victoria a short and beautiful woman with brown hair and dark green eyes was cut of by an annoyed little Brooke.
"Mommy don't start agaaaaaaain, I told you and daddy that I want you to go and that I'll be fine with grandma and grandpa for a few days. And besides, you can buy me a loooooot of presents." Said little Brooke with her hands on her waist and impatiently tapping her little feet on the ground. But anyone could see the sparkle in her eyes just thinking about getting presents.
"She's right Victoria and if she says she's going to be fine them she will, right dimples?" A tall man with sparkling green eyes and a warm smile with two enormous dimples in his handsome face said. And little Brooke nodded her head.
"But Richard…" Victoria tried to interject.
"See, there's nothing to worry about now we have to go, we're already late. Come here dimples!" He said while getting down and opening his arms.
Little Brooke run the faster her little foot could carry her and jumped in her dad's arms.
"I'm going to miss you dimples, so much." He said.
"I'm going to miss you too daddy!" She said with a sad look in her face, she didn't know why but it felt like she wouldn't see them for a long time even if she knew it was just for few days. And that was bothering her a little.
Seeing that he's daughter was getting sad Richard picked her up and started to spin her around…almost immediately he heard the best sound of the world: his little girl's laugh. "So you like this missy?" He asked playfully but instead of a response his daughter just started laughing louder. Putting her down he hugged her and said: "I love you more than anything dimples, and remember what daddy always says to you…It's not what people want for you it's…"
"…what I want for myself." Little Brooke said and gave her daddy a hug and kiss on the cheek.
Victoria walked towards her daughter and picked her up and kept hugging her as close as possible, like it was the last time she'd see her. And unaware for them all, it would be. "Oh! Brookie mommy loves you so, so much! Are you sure you're going to be okay?"
"I promise you mommy, I'll be okay." Without knowing it this question and especially this answer had a much deeper meaning…
Some days she just keeps thinking about them and how it would be if they where still there with her. It's not that she isn't grateful for what her grandparents did for her because she is and she loves them more than anything she just misses her parents.
She looks around her small room, light purple walls, old furniture and a couple of pictures of her with her parents when she was young, some with her grandparents but her favorite was the picture of her parents 10 years anniversary taken just a couple of weeks before they passed away. Before her life changed with just one phone call…
Little Brooke was watching her favorite Disney movie with her grandpa, counting down the days for her parents to get back when the phone rang. He got up and a couple of minutes later came back pale and with tears in his eyes. Her grandma was just walking through the door and after seeing her husband expression quickly asked what was going on.
"It was the cruise company telling that Richard and Victoria's cruise sank and that the marine said it's impossible to anyone to have survived." Joseph Davis said with tears rolling down his face.
The groceries her grandma was carrying hit the floor with a loud sound at the same time she said: "You're saying that they're dead? That my little boy is gone? Is that what you're trying to say?" With a loud sob escaping her lips. It only took a couple of seconds for little Brooke understand what was happening around her and just one more second for her to starting sobbing. And that was the moment her little world fell apart.
She knew she didn't have much like the other people at school. She knew her grandfather worked himself out to try and give them enough but with his age she knew it was hard so when she did fifteen she said she wanted to work to help but he said no, that his granddaughter was too young to be working.
But it all changed when he got sick last year. She knew he was really sick and it was just a question of time until he passed away. She tried to not think about this so throwing herself at school and working seven days a week to help her grandma was working pretty good so far.
She wasn't the type to take hours in front of the mirror and to be truthful she didn't have the time. The only time she looked at herself in the mirror, really looked was when she first tried her glasses. She have been using them since middle school.
About her friends well, she didn't have any. She was an outsider or how the cheerleaders call her once…a loner, a loser, a nothing. She never let it show, but it hurt her that people thought so low of her just because she didn't have money. They didn't even know her to say this and they just said it because she refused to do their English project in eight grade.
She got so lost in her memories that when she looked at the clock beside her bed she quickly jumped off the chair, picked her bag and run out of the door. "Great, I'm going to be late to school. Just great!" She thought.
Okay, so I know this is not the best. It's my first story so forgive me for this and any mistakes I committed, english is not my first language. I know it's a no-action chapter but I wanted to show a little about Brooke's past before I go on with the story. I hope it's not too bad and I'm always open for suggestions. I'm thinking about putting a little naley so let me know what you think and please review!
