Over You

Chapter 1

Disclaimer: I own only my plot. Nathan, Brooke, Haley, Lucas, Peyton and everyone from Tree Hill isn't mine. As much as I wish they were.

7:30 PM

After twirling around in front of her mirror she smiled and knew this was it. Finally after an hour or searching through her closet she'd found the perfect dress! A perfect black evening gown that went all the way to the ground and clung tightly to her perfect curves.

"Brooke! Are you almost done?!" Brooke's best friend Haley yelled from the bottom of the steps, Lucas would be here any minute now.

Brooke took one last look at face to make sure her makeup still looked ok, then she slipped into her heels and walked to the top of the stairs, each step making a clicking sound on the hard wood floor.

"Wow Brooke, you look stunning! Lucas doesn't know how lucky he is!" Hales smiled up at Brooke and before she could respond they heard a knock.

"This is it!" Brooke screeched, excited and ready to begin this wonderful night. She had told Haley she was pretty sure this was going to be the night when Lucas proposed. What else could he want to have a nice sit down romantic meal and talk to her about?

"Good luck!" Haley said quickly before giving her best friend and hug after she's walked down the stairs.

Brooke opened the door and Lucas was standing there with a dozen red roses in his hands.

"You look gorgeous!" He said before handing the roses to Brooke. "Hey Hales."

"Night guys have a good time!" Haley waved to Luke and walked into the other room, ready for a night of silence while Nathan was away and Brooke was out.

"Thanks broody." Brooke smiled warmly and kissed him before going into the kitchen to put the roses in water, she hurried back and Lucas grabbed her hand and they were off.

Later that night… 1:40 AM

She sat on the only bench at the rivercourt with red puffy eyes and her cell phone sitting right next to her.

This hadn't been how she's imagined the night going… Boy had she been wrong when she thought she was about to soon become Mrs. Brooke Scott. Wife and mother of Lucas Scott's children. They hadn't even made it to that point.

"Leave me alone Lucas I don't want to hear it anymore! How could you?" Brooke yelled at him and turned to walk away. When he didn't even come after her she knew this was it. That he had told the truth.

Why would he even want to get her hopes up by taking her out to diner? Why would he sit there and tell her he loved her? Why when it was a complete lie?

She got sick just thinking about it. Her stomach started to feel upset as she looked up into the night sky.

"I'm sorry." She whispered.

"I didn't want it to end up this way." She looked down at her hand that was covering her stomach, which was hurting her.

No response. But of course there wouldn't be.

Brooke wished she was with her friends, laughing and having a good time but how could she when her boyfriend had just broken up with her for one of them?

Why would Peyton even do that to her? And what made it worse was that she knew what Brooke was going to tell him tonight. And led her on to believe Lucas was going to propose. How could she? Her best friend of ten years would no longer be there Brooke would make sure of that.

But Haley would be. Her and Nathan. And even though they were married and had their own lives. She wouldn't let it bother her. They deserved happiness after all they had been through.

And this… well she didn't know what to do yet. She thought she would be happy and so would he, and they would go take care of it together. Now she almost wished it would go away, even though the tiniest part of her still wanted it.

Brooke finally let a tear fall, she had been afraid to, knowing if she started she wouldn't be able to stop, and another one fell and they just kept coming. And coming. And coming.

An hour went by and when she looked at her cell phone and saw it was almost two she decided to go home. She wiped the last of her tears away, praying she wouldn't cry again. She was going to be strong. She would do this by herself.

With that in mind she stopped by the drug store to pick something up before making it all the way home.

The walk had been a little scary, she had been out in the dark and alone before but now it just felt even worse. But now that she was safe in her house with Haley sleeping in one of the rooms she felt better.

Brooke walked up to her room and sat on her bed, she was tired and would do what she had to in the morning. So she got up, changed and then turned the light off before plopping into her bed and falling asleep as soon as her head hit her pillow.

8:10 AM

Brooke woke up to the smell of bacon, eggs, and toast. She groaned when she looked at the clock and saw it was only a little after eight, and it was Saturday morning. She was supposed to be able to sleep in…

"Morning sleepy head! Rise and shine!" Haley said loudly, barging into Brooke's room. Seeing Brooke's head hit her pillows again made Haley roll her eyes.

"What's got you so chipper this morning?" Brooke muttered, she felt horrible and would rather go back to sleep than go eat… In fact the smell was actually making her stomach turn…

"Nathan's coming back today!" Haley said way to happily for this time of the morning in Brooke's opinion.

"Oh so I get my house back today?" Brooke teased.

"Ah Brooke I'm gonna miss not staying with you! But I miss Nate…" Haley sat on the bed next to Brooke, grinning.

Brooke finally sat up in bed, smirking. "Only because you haven't gotten laid in like a week!"

"Brooke!"

"What you know its true!"

They both laughed and then after a few minutes they were both silent again, both of them thinking about different things.

"How am I going to tell him Brooke? What if he doesn't want to be a daddy this young?" Haley finally said quietly as she looked over at her best friend.

Brooke gave Haley her best smile and pulled her close for a hug.

"Don't worry Nathan's going to love it! He might be a little surprised at first but after he gets rid of the initial shock he's going to be so happy!"

Haley laid her head on Brooke's shoulder still feeling a little worried about it. "You think so?"

"I know so! Now come on lets go eat some of that breakfast that I smell. It smells…" Before she could get out her sentence Brooke rushed up from bed into the bathroom, Haley following her quickly.

"Are you ok Brooke?" Haley asked from in front of the door. She could hear Brooke puking her guts out. "Do you want me to come in?"

"No… I'm ok…" Another round of puking.

Haley went in and held her hair back for her. After a couple of minutes the puking seems to have gone away and Brooke looks pale and a little sick.

"Are you sure your ok?"

Brooke tries her best to smile and stood up with Haley's help and reached for her toothbrush.

"Yea I must of just caught a bug at dinner last night…" She lied. She could think it was that all she wanted but she was pretty sure what it was.

"Ok…" Haley dropped it for now, knowing Brooke would come to her if it was anything important. "Speaking of last night you never told me what happened!"

One look at Brooke and Haley knew. "No. Tell me he didn't… Brooke…"

She tried not to get upset over it, she really did, but when Haley mentioned it she just couldn't.

"Hales it was horrible!" Brooke said after brushing her teeth. They both went back into Brooke's bedroom and then made their way into the kitchen where the smell of the bacon and eggs were still strong.

"I'm gonna have a talk with him later…" Haley muttered angrily to herself. She would hurt him. How could he do this to Brooke again? "Lets eat and then we'll talk about it ok? You probably need something after that…" Haley said referring to the bathroom incident.

"Ok." Brooke took a piece of dry toast and began nibbling on it while Haley looked at her strangely. "What?"

"Aren't you going to eat anything else?" Haley asked while piling some food on a plate then they moved to sit at the table.

"No my stomach is still feeling upset."

"Oh. Yea right… I can go by the store and get you some medicine and soup later if you want?" Haley offered before shoveling a spoon full of eggs in her mouth.

Brooke stifled a laugh and shook her head. She was doing pretty well acting like things were ok. Maybe she could do this without him?

"I think I'll be ok tonight, I'm just going to lay down for a while after you leave."

"Sounds good, but I'm coming back to check on you later."

"Ok when is Nathan going to be back?"

"He said around two but that's only if traffic is good."

"Yea. But with his driving he could be here by one-thirty."

Both girls grinned and forgot about their problems while eating and laughing at breakfast.

2:30 PM

Brooke sat in her bed thinking, Haley had left around half an hour ago to go back to her apartment with Nathan and she was left to think, something she didn't want to do but also something she couldn't stop.

Of course she could go and take the test. But she wouldn't, she couldn't. She didn't want to know, and she could hope if she didn't know it would just go away… But in the back of her mind she knew it wouldn't.

Brooke sighed and laid down to stare at the ceiling. She had nothing better to do. Although she could go shopping… But Rachel was out of town and it just wasn't as fun shopping without Rachel.

So here she was stuck with her thoughts.

She wondered what Lucas was doing… Probably his hoe.

She cringed at the thought and made a face of disgust.

Why did he do this to her? They had been fine, having a perfect time; at least she had thought so… Apparently Lucas had thought otherwise if he had gone and cheated on her again.

She was sure how she wasn't crying, sure she had told herself he wasn't worth it again but every time she thought about it, it felt like she couldn't breathe.

But why, was she not good enough for him? He had told her she was over and over desperately trying to make her believe that she was the one for him, and when he finally had he had crushed any trust she had left in him.

He had become her world, Brooke couldn't believe she let herself believe him and then put all her trust in him again, the outcome was always this.

She looked over to her nightstand and saw a piece of paper, one they had been writing love notes on last week… When they were talking about having a family one day…

"Ooo what about Cadence?" Brooke bit her lip, grinning. Lucas looked at her and chuckled. She was so cute when she did that!

"I like it, but Brooke isn't it a little early to be thinking about names for our unborn children?"

She thought about it for a minute. "No."

Lucas grinned, he really didn't mind he just didn't want to get too ahead of themselves, they wouldn't be having kids for years…

And maybe they wouldn't even be with her. He felt so guilty he needed to tell her but every time he would try they would always have 'a moment'.

"Ok well, what about for a girl?" Lucas asked, looking on his laptop at the baby name website they were on.

"Are you ok Luke? You looked kind of upset for a minute?" Brooke asked him with a worried expression on her face. She went and stood behind him and placed a hand on his arm.

"Yea, I'm fine. Just a little tired. Maybe I should go to bed early?" He looked up at her after closing the laptop, hoping she wouldn't read right through him but feeling extremely guilty at the same time for lying. Again.

"Ok, well I'm going to go home then and let you sleep in peace I have some work I need to get done anyways." She smiled at him and kissed his forehead.

"Thanks cheery, for understanding." He stood up and pulled her into a hug. She laid her head on his chest and breathed in his familiar scent that always comforted her.

"No problem broody, I know I wore you out earlier." She winked up at him and pulled him down for a kiss.

She wondered if he was actually tired that night? Was he lying to her then as well? She shook her head not wanting to believe it. He had gone to bed as soon as she left… Hadn't he?

Brooked groaned, she needed answers.

She didn't want to see them together. It would kill her. She fought off tears as she thought of them holding hands and kissing…

He had also told her that night that they wouldn't have kids for years, and they would have a big house with a red door and two dogs when they decided to start a family. Of course she realized now it probably wasn't her that he had been talking about.

It was Peyton.

It killed her to realize that.

"Well Luke," she muttered to her self while letting a lone tear fall, "I hope you were right."
