Flash back:
" I can't believe how lucky I am to have some one as caring and wonderful as you are," said Brooke sweetly.
Nathan cupped her face in his hands, and kissed her passionately. " I feel the exact same way.
Brooke just stared out her bedroom window mulling on how everything went so wrong. She use to have the perfect boyfriend, perfect friends, hell a perfect life. Now, she doesn't have a boyfriend, she still has the friends, but her life is FAR from perfect. Her parents got a divorce, and now she lives with her mother. She doesn't have all that money like she used to. It's been a hard arrangement to get used to, but hey you have to do what you have to do. Brooke took out her cell phone, and called her best friend Peyton Sawyer.
"Hey P. Sawyer, Are you busy right now?
"Um…Actually, im not. Why what did you have in mind", Peyton asked curiously.
Brooke laughed, "I was wondering if you wanted to take a walk. I've been stuck in this house for so long. I need to get some fresh air, and I wanted you to come with me.
Peyton paused for a while and then answered, "Sure. Lets go!
Brooke got into her little sports car, the only prized possession she had left. She arrived at Peyton's house in record timing. Brooke got out of the car, and walked up to the front door to knock. She was suddenly stopped when she saw Peyton opening up the door.
"Ready to go", Peyton asked happily.
"More than you'll ever know," said Brooke.
Peyton and Brooke started walking down the trail that was behind Peyton's house. It led down to a little river that was about a half a mile away. The two girls were laughing, and having fun until Brooke set her eyes on the guy that broke her heart. Nathan Scott! Brooke just kept walking past him like he wasn't even there. Nathan grabbed her arm and spun her around.
"Are you going to keep ignoring me?", he said angrily. Brooke glared at him. Why does he think I actually want to even look at him, she thought to herself.
"Yea, it's a little game that I like to play. I'll ignore you, and then maybe because you couldn't get sex from me. Maybe you'll just go back to that skank Hamey or is it Haley? I just can't seem to get it right these days," she said furiously.
Nathan could see the hurt in his eyes. He just stared into them beautiful brown eyes. He couldn't believe that he hurt the only person he loved, and actually loved him back. He gave her one more glance, and just walked the opposite way. As soon as Nathan left, Brooke broke into tears.
"How did I mess up everything in my life", she sobbed. Peyton went to comfort her, but Brooke pulled away.
"No, Peyton there's nothing you can do for me. I was meant to be alone, and maybe now I will.
Brooke broke down crying, because she loved Nathan so much. Although, she couldn't bare to go back him. No matter how much he wanted to be with her, no matter how much he said he loved her. If he loved me so much, then why did he cheat on me, Brooke thought to herself. Peyton went to Brooke, and helped her to her car. Brooke gave Peyton a slight smile, and drove away. When she arrived at her house, she saw someone standing there at her front porch. She got out of the car, and saw someone that she thought she would never see again. Lucas. Brooke ran to him, and gave him the biggest hug.
Chapter 2: Reencounter
"Luke, what are you doing here? I thought you weren't ever coming back to Tree hill. What changed your mind, Brooke said in between breaths. Lucas just stared at her and smiled.
"I came back for my best friend. I just missed you so much, and the thought of never talking to you again didn't go well with me. But now I'm here to stay, and I have you to thank.
"Well, your very welcome. Do you want to come in?", Brooke said sweetly.
Brooke invited Lucas in, and they talked for hours. It has been 3 years since the last time they saw each other. They were best friends since they were little, but then Lucas decided to move. That crushed Brooke, because he was the only person who understood her, and actually knew her. Lucas saw that Brooke was pondering about something.
Lucas put his hand on top of Brooke's. "Brooke, what are you thinking about? You seem different. How are you and Nathan?
Brooke started to tear up. She hadn't thought of Nathan at all since their last reencounter. Now, she has to break it to Luke that Nathan had cheated on her.
"Um…Nathan and I broke up. I found out that he had cheated on me with Haley James. So much for us being together forever huh? Brooke started to tremble. She still couldn't believe that Nathan could so something that hurtful to her. He told her that he would love her forever. Lucas wrapped Brooke in a hug, and Brooke never wanted him to let go. It was already midnight when Lucas left Brooke's house.
Nathan just stared at the ceiling, still thinking about the other day when he saw Brooke again. He's tried over and over to apologize for his actions. He never meant to hurt her, because he loved her. Would she ever give me another chance, Nathan thought to himself. Nathan picked up his cell phone, and dialed the number he knew by heart.
"Hello", said Brooke.
"Brooke, this is Nathan. Please, before you hang up. Just hear me out", said Nathan pleadingly.
"Fine, but make it quick. I have better things to do," she said irritably.
"I want to apologize again for the way I treated you when we were together. I know my apology might not change anything, but I want to be friends with you. If we cant be together, can we at least be friends? If you need time, take all the time you need. Brooke, I need you in life whether you'll accept that or no", Nathan said sorrowfully.
Brooke paused for a while, and then finally answered, "I do need time to think about this, but you'll be the first to know when I come up with an answer. I need to go, but ill talk to you later. Brooke hung up before Nathan could get another word in. Nathan put his cell phone away, and laid on his bed. The last thing that went through his head was Brooke.
