All My Heart
Brooke Davis plastered another fake smile on her face as she greeted another guest. She's at another function for her fathers company. She normally doesn't mind coming to these things, because she's allowed to bring her friends. Peyton would make funny sarcastic comments about the people here, Lucas would pull pranks on the guests, Nathan would act like a business man to the hot girls to get their numbers, and she'd set Haley up with one of the hot guys with rich parents (which Nathan always hates). But this time the function is in L.A., so it sucks.
She doesn't even understand why she has to come. She just greets the guests, walks around and 'mingles', and laughs at their rubbish jokes. It's not fun doing that when her best friends aren't by her side.
''Mom, can I just leave? I have a flight back to Tree Hill in the morning, I want to start my summer.'' she complained to her mother quietly.
Victoria Davis turned to her daughter and glared. ''No. This is a big deal for your father. I know you're mad that we brought you here on the first week on your summer, but get over it and smile.'' she said through gritted teeth and turned to greet the next guest that walked through the door.
Brooke sighed. She knew she shouldn't have got her hopes up when her she asked her mother that question, the answer is always the same.
Something caught her eye from the door, she looked at saw a small family walk in. First their was a man, about her dad's age. He had grey hair, and frown lines. Their was an older woman, who looked a little younger than her mother. She had bronze hair, with a hind of red in it, it stopped just above her shoulders.
Next was the boy.
The boy.
She was certain that she's never seen him before, she would definitely remember that face.
He was undeniably gorgeous, even with a scowl on his face. He was wearing a black designer suit, with the jacket unbuttoned and his hands stuffed roughly in his pockets. He has short brown hair, slightly curly, it's clear that he doesn't care about what it looks like, at least not right now.
''Hi. I'm Paul Norris, this is my wife Sylvia. And our son Julian.'' The older man intoduced, shaking Victoria's hand.
Victoria smiled, ''Hi, I'm Victoria, Richard's wife. This is our beautiful daughter Brooke.'' she greeted.
''Hi.'' Brooke smiled and shook his hand and Sylvia's. She also felt her heart break a little, her mother never calls her beautiful, only to show her off to other people.
She stuck her hand out to shake , but he didn't even look at her. ''Whatever.'' he muttered and walked in a random direction. It looked like he just wanted to get away from her, and for some reason, that hurt.
Sylvia smiled awkwardly, ''Sorry about him, he's just going through some... stuff.''

Brooke laughed nervously, ''I'm so sorry.'' she muttered as she grabbed her phone of her purse.
She walked to one of the quiet corners of the room and flipped her phone open. ''P. Sawyer, what the hell?'' she demanded. She knew it was Peyton because this is Peyton's worst song, so Brooke set it as her personal ringtone.
''Hey Brooke. It's Nathan and Luke. Peyton left her phone here so we decided to call you.''
''You do know that is going to cost her, right?'' she asked, knowing the answer.
''Obviously, Curly shouldn't have been so stupid and left her phone here to make out with Jake.'' Nathan responded cockily.
''Dude that's sick, she's helping him look after his daughter.'' Lucas shouted to Nathan.
''Jenny sleeps, that's all I'm sayin'.'' he responded, Brooke could just picture him putting his hands up in surrender.
''Guys!'' she shouted, recieving some looks from the guests. ''Was there a reason why you called me, other than adding up the total for P. Sawyer's phone bill?''
''Yeah, we wanted to know how it's going. I highly doubt it's fun without us.'' Lucas said humorously, Nathan snickered in agreement.
She sighed, ''Yeah, it's lame. Where's Haley? I need to talk to her.'' she said. Haley was always at the Scott house, she was planning on telling her about the hot guy she just saw. She can't exactly talk to the Scott brothers about that.
''She's on a date with that stupid spiky haired p-'' Nathan spat out until Lucas interrupted him.
''She's out with Chris.'' Lucas corrected.
''Sorry Luke.'' she whispered, even though his phone was on speaker and Nathan could hear. She knew that now she brought up the subject of Haley's new boyfriend that Nathan would spend the atleast half an hour complaining to Lucas about Chris. And saying that she should be with him, and not the 'loser rock guy', everyone knows he's right... except Haley. But of course, Nathan wont tell her about how he feels, so it's his own fault that Haley isn't with him.
''See you tomorrow Brooke, have fun.'' Lucas said with a sigh, as Nathan started complaining about Chris. Part 1: The way he talks.
''Bye Luke.''
''I mean, who the hell talks in third person anyway? It's so-'' Nathan's voice rambled before Brooke hung up the phone.
Julian sat outside the back of the hotel where the function was being held. He'd arrived an hour ago with his parents arguing the whole way here. As soon as he arrived he just needed to get away from all the pretence. However, he didnotice a beautiful girl at the entrance, who looked sick of the fakeness just as much as he is. But he didn't want to dwell on it, he's leaving L.A. soon, he's leaving everything behind.
He heard the fire escape open and high heels clicking on the concrete as whoever it was stepped through the door and into the cold.
''Julian?'' A sweet voice asked nervously.
He turned and saw the gorgeous girl he remembered from earlier. She was stood at the doorway with a drink of champagne in her hand, she was biting her lip. Obviously debating in her mind whether or not to run back inside, she almost looked scared of him.
He gave her a small smile and patted the space next to him on the small step.
He heard the click of her heals as she walked closer slowly, she sat down next to him and handed him the glass. ''You looked like you could use it. I saw you walk through here before, but it took me a while to steal this.''
''Yeah, sorry about walking out so fast. I just don't want to be here.'' he apologised, taking a big sip of champagne, almost drinking the whole glass.
She giggled, ''You think I don't? I just had to kiss a gross old guy on the cheek.'' she shuddered.
Julian chuckled and took a second to look at her. She's clearly stunning, without a doubt the most beautiful girl he's ever laid eyes on. She had a short light creme dress on. (Think of the dress she wore in 7.22 for Julian's movie premiere. I'm not good a clothing descriptions.) And her hair was in a twist on the top of her head. Her eyes stood out the most, her big green eyes, that twinkled when she laughed.
''Why are you here then?'' he asked.
''My mother made me. This is one of my dad's business function thingys. I wanted to spend the beginning of my summer with my friends before our senior year, but I had to come here.'' she explained bitterly. Julian noticed that when she said mother it was more spat out in anger than actually said.
''Yeah, well you did you see my parents in there? Acting all sweet and loved up. They're getting a divorce, my Dad just doesn't want people in their to know. Paul Baker can't fail a marriage.'' he said sarcastically. ''And atleast you can spend senior year with your friends, I'm moving away with my mom, she's not even told me where yet.''
''I need a drink.'' they both muttered, then looked at eachother and grinned devilishly.
After they came up with their plan, they walked back into the ballroom. They kept glancing at eachother nervously, like they were about to committ a unforgivable crime.
Julian turned to Brooke. ''So, you know the plan?''
Brooke nodded and turned towards the bar, she spotted the bar tender and swayed her hips as she walked over to him. She sat on the stool closest to where he was stood drying glasses. ''Hi.'' she smirked sexily and leaned over the bar, giving the bartender a full view of her bust.
''Hey.'' he replied, with the same level of sexyness.
''I'm Brooke-''
''Davis, I know. You're Dad's the one who's business this is right?''
She sighed, ''Yeah, I guess that means I can't get a drink.'' she said, faking sadness. She knew this bar tender would never give her a drink, no one would ever do something that would get her father mad.
''Nope.'' he said, popping on the 'p'.
She glanced to the side of the bar and -as planned- Julian was leaning over and stealing whatever he could get his hands one.
Brooke sighed dramatically, ''Darn. Bye hot bar tender.''
And with that, she walked the direction she saw Julian walking in a second before.
He better not leave me now.
She quickly ran after him, and linked her arm with his. They walked out of the fire escape where she'd found him earlier. He took her hand as they stepped outside and sat on 'their step'.
''Did you get it?'' she asked eagerly.
''Calm down, Brooke.'' he chuckled, grabbing the big bottle of vodka that he had hidden in his jacket.
Her cheeks went a little red, ''Sorry,'' she said timidly. ''I've only done this once. I've tried loads of times. One time my best friend Haley dropped the bottle and we got caught, my other best friend Peyton can't act and but she's not exactly 'discreet'. Lucas and Nathan can't exactly flirt with bar tenders, when they're boys. If they're not Nathan gets distracted and tries to sleep with them and Lucas gets shy around hot girls.'' she rambled, embarrassed over her excitement.
''So I guess he gets shy around you then.'' he stated, his tone flirtatious.
She snorted, ''That was so lame.'' she giggled and took the bottle from him.
He chuckled with her, ''It was wasn't it?''
She nodded and took a big gulp from the bottle.
''And she's a tutor, so I call her Tutor Girl, get it?'' she slurred and snorted at her funny joke.
Julian chuckled. In the past hour, he and Brooke have just talked about absolute crap. But he's not had this much fun in months, ever since he found out about his parents divorce he's been a pain to everyone. But being with Brooke, she's just took all the pain away. And he knows it's got nothing to do with the alcohol.
''Tell me a secret.'' he said randomly, crossing his legs and turning to face her.
She did the same and smiled. ''I'm not as drunk as I'm acting.'' she admitted.
He smiled and leaned forward, ''So you'd remember if I kissed you?'' he whispered, their lips almost touching.
She nodded, and captured her lips with his. It started off slow, then got more heated. It may seem cliché, but their lips moved in sync withothers, like a perfect fit. It was perfect, everything about it was perfect. Until...
''Brooke Penelope Davis!''
Julian groaned, a little to loudly as they pulled apart and Brooke stood up abruptly. And turned to face Brooke's angry mother who was stood at the doorway, hands on her hips and lips pressed in a hard line. She was clearly mad. Julian's reaction to their interruption didn't help either.
''I've been looking for you for the past hour, and I find you out here drinking,dragging this poor man down with you. I know you do this type of things with your silly little friends, but you're not dragging down one of the Norris family!'' she shoted.
''My friends are silly! You don't even know them!'' she shouted back. She hates that her mother brings down her friends, just because they're not as rich as her. Her mother doesn't even make an effort, like Brooke does for her with her stupid stuck up friends.
''And I'm not a Norris anymore. I'm getting my last name changed.'' Julian added, it really annoyed him when he got reffered to as a Norris. He doesn't like to be associated with his dad, who hardly talks to him. Even though Victoria Davis doesn't care about that.
''I don't care, come back inside and take that jacket off!'' she seethed. Brooke then remembered she had Julian's jacket on that he'd let her wear earlier when she got cold.
Victoria turned back and stormed back into the building.
''Julian.. I'm so sorry about her.'' Brooke apologised, completely sober now.
He smiled, ''Don't worry about it.'' he said. He walked towards her and took the jacket out of her hand, he kissed her cheek and leaned towards her ear. ''My secret is, that was the best kiss I've ever had. Bye Brooke Davis.'' he whispered and walked back through the door. Leaving a dumbfounded Brooke Davis behind.
What Brooke doesn't know, is that this wont be the last time she will ever see Julian Baker.
