Beachside Talk

Brooke/Nathan

She had probably drunk too much and shouldn't be alone right now but she didn't care. She didn't know what lead her to come down to the beach but she was glad she did. The sound of the waves hitting the shore seemed to calm her down. Off in the distance she could still hear the party that drove her away going on full force. She sighed stretching her body out. Sometimes she just needed to get out and breathe, to get away from it all. She had been sitting at the edge of the water for a good hour. The tide had come in and the water was slapping against her bare legs causing her skirt to be soaked, but she didn't care. She put her hands in the wet sand taking a handful then letting them slide through her fingers. She loved the feel of the sand sliding through it was so soothing and relaxing. She turned and looked back from the direction she came from and wondered if any of her friends were out looking for her or if they assumed she was off just being another drunken easy lay. At that point she didn't care anymore as long as she no longer had to see him. Him who broke her heart and didn't even realize it. Him who moved on with her best friend without thinking about how it might make her feel. Him who lost the best thing he'd ever had and would one day realize it but it would be too late. She wrapped her arms around herself and let out another long sigh. She finally lost control and let her tears fall. She sat there another 30 minutes when the wind started to pick up. She hugged herself tighter trying to warm up. She was freezing but couldn't bring herself to move. A wave came in and the cold water slapped against her legs sending a shiver up her spine. She squeezed her eyes shut and brought her knees to her chest wishing the wind would stop, because she couldn't go back to that party not now.

"Brooke?" A very masculine voice asked with concern. She knew that voice it was one she wasn't really good friends with but always knew she could count on. All she had wanted was to be alone but for some reason when she heard his voice she was relieved and glad that he was here. She looked up at him with a tear streaked face and tears on the brim of her eye lids that he could barely make out in the moonlight. He studied her face. She was truly broken and for the first time since he had known Brooke he felt like this was the first time he was really seeing her vulnerable and raw.

"Nathan." Brooke whispered at the tears started falling again. She no longer cared who was around or saw them. The tough Brooke Davis was gone and now all she wanted was a friend.

"Shhhhh." He said sitting down beside her and taking her into a hug. "It'll be ok." He said trying to comfort her and rubbing her back.

"No it want!" She cried.

"Brooke what's wrong?" He asked pulling away to look at her. He'd only seen Brooke cry three other times in her life, the first being when Luke broke up wit her the first time for Peyton. The he saw her crying at his Uncle Keith's funeral. Which was understandable, Keith was like a father to her when hers wasn't around. The last time he saw her cry was when she found out what had conspired for the second time between his brother and her best friend. That had been 7 months ago and a lot had happened since then. Brooke had forgiven the two and continued to be friends with them. Haley had gone back on tour and it had been hard on everyone. Brooke turned to Rachel, which no one liked because all that seemed to come from that was Brooke getting into trouble. Nathan took her departure surprisingly well; he just wished he hadn't remarried her. It just made the divorce papers look stupid. Lucas turned to Peyton and they had announced recently that Peyton was 5 months pregnant and that they were planning on getting married. Nathan had a feeling that's where these tears were coming from.

"I just don't understand why it hurts so much." Brooke said.

"Why what hurts so much?" Nathan asked wiping away her tears with the pad of his thumb.

"Why after 7 months seeing them together and happy still hurts. I just want them to feel some kind of pain like I do. I know I should be happy for them but I'm not, I guess I'm being selfish for being caught up in my own feelings."

"I don't think your being selfish and it's ok to still have feelings. That was supposed to be you with Lucas happy, pregnant, getting married not Peyton. I understand that but I wish you would understand that there are some guys out there that really care about you and could really love you." Nathan said sincerely.

"Nathan's that's sweet but not true. The only thing guys are interested in when it comes to Brooke Davis is SEX!!! All any guy ever wanted from me was to find out if I'm really as good as everyone says I am." Brooke said as a fresh batch of tears started.

"Brooke that's not true there are some really great guys out there." Nathan tried stressing to her.

"Oh yeah, well what's being said in the locker room about me? What's being said when I'm not around?" Brooke asked testing him.

Nathan was thing about what to say he didn't want to say the wrong thing and upset her. The truth was that the guys always talked about how easy Brooke was. But If Nathan was around to hear it he put a stop to it automatically.

"Nathan before you come up with some stupid lie I want you tell me the truth." Brooke said wiping her own tears away furiously.

"Fine Brooke guys do say that but you know what, I always stop them and tell them they don't know Brooke Davis, and if I ever hear them talking about you or to you I'll make there life hell."

"Nathan I don't even know how that rumor got started. To tell you the truth I've only had sex with like 5 people. It so unfair."

"I know it is Brooke, but there are some guys out there who do care about you."

"No Nathan, I really don't think there is."

"Brooke trust me. There are some good guys out there."

"Well it's not the one I want." She told him pouting, "The one I want is-"She was cut of by Nathan's anger saying

"Is a jerk. When are you going to realize that Lucas is a jerk! God Brooke I wish you would just open your eyes, because there's a really great guy sitting right in front of you who would love a shot with Brooke Davis! And I know how to treat you, I wouldn't do what Lucas did to you, I just wish you could see that." Nathan said standing up. "And when you come to your senses I'll be right her waiting." He bent down and captured her lips with his. It was a sweet simple kiss. He pulled away and whispered, "Don't let it slip away." Nathan walked back down the beach leaving Brooke speechless lightly toughing her tingling lips. Nathan Scott had just kissed her!
