A/N: The story takes places in season 1, when Lucas first cheated on Brooke with Peyton. I'm not a big fan of the weak Brooke that lets Peyton step all over her, so I want to go back to when Brooke had all her walls up. I keep thinking of the pregnancy scare and what would've happened if she really was pregnant? This fic is going to be really AU and English is not my first language, so be gentle with me. The title of the story comes from the song "Me by Tamia".
There s is no Nikki in this story and for a weird reason Dan is going to be a nice guy. The story takes of after that Brooke tells Lucas, that she's not pregnant. Peyton and Lucas start to date. Naley don't get married young but they're still together. Meanwhile, Brooke tries to move on from the pain.
Chapter One
Brooke was lying in her room alone. She couldn't believe everything that took place, the last months. She felt dead inside, but ironically there is a new life growing inside of her. After everything she ever did for Peyton, it was unbelievable that this was the way that Peyton was repaying her. Not even a day after she told Lucas she wasn't pregnant, her best friend and ex boyfriend went and hooked up. She still couldn't believe what he had the courage to say to her when she first told him the truth about her pregnancy.
"I just figured that I'd be older, financially stable… and in love."
He said. Did their relationship mean nothing to him? Was she just an easy lay, something to pass the time with until he got his precious Peyton? Apparently she was, because why else would he say something like that. She was nothing for him, just a stupid toy he could play with until he received the one he really wanted. She was used by him to make her best friend jealous, and it worked.
"By the way… it's not like I'm the only guy you ever slept with!"
"What's your point?"
"How do I even know it's mine?"
He said. He called her a slut or whore, he insulted her. Even though, it was him who wanted to know 'the real her'. 'The real her' that he broke the minute that Peyton decided that she wanted to be with him.
"I give a rat ass too."
He said. Why lie if he didn't feel the same way? He could've ended it there, or at least said something else. But he chose to lie instead, knowing it would hurt her.
"Pretty girl"
He said. That was his nickname for her, he was the first man that cared enough to give her nickname that wasn't insulting. Why would he do that do? All those things where breaking her heart. And on top of that, she couldn't stop thinking about Peyton. Peyton, the girl she considered her best friend. She had always Peyton before herself. Peyton showed her now, where she stood with her. But that's not what broke Brooke's heart. No, it was the fact that the two people she loved and trusted with all her heart and soul broke it. And all that's left of her now is drowning in disappointment.
I wish I wasn't in love with you
So you couldn't hurt me
it just ain't fair the way you treat me
No you don't
deserve me
Wasting my time thinking bout you when you ain't never gon change
I wish I wasn't in love with you so I
wouldn't feel this way
P.S.: I want to thank Kelli for her help. Don't forget to review.
