Hey guys, this one will be a short and hopefully happy Brathan story! Please review!
I breathed heavily as I saw Nathan hammering against the door of the gym.
"How do you mean: WE ARE STUCK HERE?" I asked and breathing out of my mouth.
"You don't see someone saving us here, do you?" he said and sat down on the floor.
"That's just: PERFECT" I screamed and tried to bang against the door myself.
"Do you think I like to be stuck with you here?" he said under his breath.
"Oh now it is my fault?" I asked between knocks.
"Peyton left me, right? And I believe you told her to seize the day, to get over me" he said bitterly.
I turned around not able to believe that he just accused me of do so.
"Sorry that I encouraged my friend to finally break up with her, badass, too cool for a real relationship boyfriend who couldn't control himself around my squad!" I said pissed and knocked again against the door.
"No one will hear you, Davis" he said and I finally decided to give up and sat down beside him.
We didn't speak to each other for a while.
"Does she know?" he asked.
I knew exactly what he was referring to and shook my head.
"Gladly she doesn't! Too much alcohol and a bad day obviously lead to some stupid, bad, meaningless sex with you and I am really not proud of this" I said and he turned around with his all too well known crooked smile.
"You seemed to enjoy it, Brooke" he said "screaming my name over and over again"
"Oh don't flatter yourself" I said not facing him "You know I am a cheerleader, right?"
"What?" he asked confused.
"Playing all cheery and satisfied is like my job" I said and gave him an evil smile.
Nathan started to laugh at my stupid comment and I as well started to giggle a bit.
"Let's make this less a hell" he smiled and moved closer.
"In your dreams Scott" I replied.
He put his arm behind me just to get his bag.
"Don't flatter yourself Davis" he teased and I felt somehow ridiculous for even thinking, he would hit on me right there after all I said to him just yet.
Nathan got out some water and a sandwich.
"You must be hungry" he said and offered me a half.
"Thanks" I said and took a bite.
It was so unusual for him to care about anyone else than himself. I just was confused that it even occurred to him to offer me the half of his sandwich at all.
"Not always a jackass" he laughed as if he could read my mind.
"I didn't…"
"But you were thinking it, right?" he asked and I nodded shamefully.
"Did you ever wonder why I am nice to you?" he said and then shut immediately up.
"Well, I never noticed you were" I said and took a sip of my coke light.
"Never mind" he muttered.
"Well, but I do mind now" I said and looked suspicious at him.
"Crap" he said and got up.
"Can we forget I ever said anything?" he asked and I shook my head.
"Alright" he breathed in and out and faced me again, his blue eyes concentrating on me now.
"I am an asshole towards Peyton, because basically she lets me" he said and sat back down.
"But only because she lets you doesn't mean you have to be" I whispered and he whispered.
"I know"
"So why are you nice to me?" I asked.
"Because you go through the same thing I am" he said and looked up at me.
"What do you mean?" I asked before I even caught the meaning of his words.
"She is in love with him and you know it" he whispered and he didn't need to tell me who he was talking about, because I already knew.
"She loves him, like he loves her" I just added and he sighed.
"Yes" he agreed and we sat there for a while chewing our sandwich and not able to speak.
"I think I needed to prove that I don't need her, to show myself that I can have anyone in here" Nathan broke the silence.
"But?" I was waiting for the catch.
"But I don't think that it helped" he said and put his face down.
He was a picture of a broken man.
"He is my brother and he probably holds her just now" he said angrily.
"I know" I nodded and Nathan got up and ran against the door, trying to really run it open.
I heard big noises and his screams from pain as I got up and tried to get hold of him.
He stopped after I caught his arm and his eyes were filled with anger and hate.
"I am sorry for that Nate" I said and put my arms around him.
"It's not your fault" he whispered and I ran my hands through his hair.
"I know, but I hate to see you hurt" I smiled softly at him.
"How do you do this?" he asked astonished.
"Do what?" I tried to smile.
"Go on with your life like nothing had happened" he whispered and I laughed.
"I don't talk to him or her for a while and I can't stand to see them, I even had a one night stand with one of my friends, so I would stop to feel the pain, so yeah that's how I deal" I laughed bitterly and he grabbed my chin to pull it up, so our eyes were on the same level.
"Sorry I took advantage of you there" he said and I could tell that he meant every word of it.
"I know" I smiled softly.
We were inches away from each other and we stayed like that for a while, until I got sleepy and he put my head on his lap and put his jacket around me, as a blanket. I closed my eyes and felt his hand caressing my hair and after a while I just felt asleep.
Next morning we were found in the gym.
"I've heard of people breaking up in school, but never did I heard that two rich kids broke in to sleep in the gym" Whitey's voice filled the room and I opened my eyes.
Nathan looked up at me and smiled.
"At least we are free again" he whispered as I rolled my eyes.
We got out and he just stood there watching me and we both didn't know what to say, we just shared this really intimate conversation and now we weren't even able to say goodbye or we both just searched for something meaningful.
"Are you going to be at the Halloween-Party?" he asked and we both laughed at his attempt to sound casual. He obviously failed.
"Sure I am, the devil will always be around, you know?" I smirked and he nodded.
"So I see you there I hope" he smiled softly and I nodded.
"See you later Scott" I whispered.
"Oh you so will" he teased back as he left.
"You were locked in the gym with Nathan?" Haley asked me confused.
"Yeah" I just nodded and her eyes grew bigger.
"You know that Luke will freak, right?" she got out in shock.
Sometimes I forgot that Haley was his friend and not mine, because we got so close, while I dated him.
"That's not what this thing was about" I tried to convince her, but she was lost in her plan to get me back with him. It was really sweet that she still believed that Lucas and I were meant to be. Even after he started dating Peyton, Haley was sure that it was just a phase he went through.
"You go to the Halloween party?" I asked her not only to stop her from planning but also to make sure I had company at this ridiculous thing.
"Yes, I planned to go there" she whispered.
"Alright, do you want to come over and get ready together?" I asked.
"I thought you decided on not to go?" she asked confused.
"Change of plans" I smiled and watched Nathan walking towards his locker.
He smiled at me as put his books in the locker and started a conversation with Tim. I actually was not so interested to go to this party, because I knew I would see my ex and his new girlfriend, but somehow now that I talked to Nathan, after I saw his softer side and heard that he was planning on going I was looking forward this little event.
