So again welcome to Breaking Through The Walls
The bell blast through the empty house I move my head to the side and look down the corridor at the large oak door. I hear the doorbell ring once more. I wipe the tears from my eyes and pull my cardigan tighter around my body as I slowly walk to the door. I take a deep breath and slowly open it. He was here. Why was he here?
"Why you here?" I ask leaning against the door frame
"I don't know" he responds with a small shrug looking around my front porch like he was looking for the answer in the wind "Practice had finished and I went for a run to clear my head and I just ended..."
"Here..." I cut him off finishing what he was going to say.
"Can I come in?" He asks. I look away from him trying to think of what to do. I love him so much I do, but how do I accept what he has done... How do I let him try and make this right? How do I let him fix this if my trust for him has been broken? "Please Dimples let me come in..." He begs and I can see in his head that he can read what I'm thinking just by looking at me "Please..." I see the broken Nathan standing in front of me. I see a guy who is terrified that he will lose me. I see it all, but that doesn't stop the fact that I'm hurting... I'm hurting bad.
But I couldn't help it. I couldn't help but move away from the door frame and make way for him to walk inside "Okay" I tell him. I see a light flash through him and then I see the hope his holding on too as he walks into my house. Me shutting the door behind him.
8 months earlier
"Brooke... Darling it isn't good" I heard the sadness radiate from my Dad's voice. I was standing on the side walk waiting for my sister McKenzie and Josh to come pick me up. She had called me about an hour ago telling me she was leaving. I held my iphone to my ear as I hear my dad's uneven breathing "Brooke its McKenzie... Clay is on his way to come get you" Daddy tells me. I don't know what to say. What the hell has happened?
"O-okay daddy" I mutter into the phone. I heard a sob escape my Mom's mouth. She must have been close to the phone if I heard it, but why was she crying? What's happened? Where's my sister? Why the hell is Kenzie?
About 15 minutes later Clay pulls up outside the dance studio. He gives me a small smile as I open the door to his car. I slip in and shut the door not saying anything. I just look out of the window horrible thoughts running through my mind about what could have happened. I didn't want to believe any of my thoughts, but a deep dark feeling arose inside me and I knew something was seriously wrong... I knew something was wrong with Kenzie... something was telling me she was gone. I wanted to scrub that thought out of my head, but I couldn't it was like it was tattooed into my mind.
Before I knew it Clay pulls up our drive way and parks. I open the door before his fully stopped the car. As soon as I feel the car stop moving I'm out of the car and literally running with my dance bag up the path and burst into the house. My parents were in the living area. My Mom had her arms around My Dad's neck crying into his chest. There were two police officers standing in front of dad. One had a pad in his hands and the lady officer looked around the room. Why where they here? My stomach sunk. The bad feeling was still there. Kenzie was gone. I could feel it... I could feel it real bad. Clay stood beside me.
"Where's Kenzie" I question badly wanting her to skip around the corner with her chocolate locks bouncing on her shoulders like always. I wanted my twin sister to smile at me and tell me she was in love again with some other guy in California, but I'm not sure if it's a twin thing, but something else was telling me she was gone. The connection we once had didn't feel the same "Mom..." I ask then turning to my Dad "Daddy... Where's Kenzie? Clay?" No one answered me "Anyone...! I whispered it this time "Please tell me"
"Brooke princess" Daddy says motioning for Clay to go over and take Mom from him. Once Clay had Mom clung to him daddy walked slowly towards me. Every step he took my heart was breaking. The aura around the room was black... full of loss and death. Why was I feeling that? "Brooke..." He stood in front of me a hand on either side of my shoulders. His eyes looked into mine and the sorrow coming from them scared me even more. Oh god No! "I'm sorry princess, but Kenzie was in an accident... She's gone" And just like that my knees buckled underneath me not being able to hold up my weight any longer. My Dad catched me before I hit the floor.
"Noooooo!" I screeched my dad let me sit on the floor. My legs buried underneath me. tears streamed down my face "Oh god please no" My heart broke completely in half and then I remembered Josh being in the car as well so I look up at my Dad once again "And Josh?" I ask. The other person who means the world to me... the other person I never want to lose. The sadness still on my dad's face.
"I'm sorry Princess" He mutters looking down at me. A tear slowly slipped down my dad's cheek "I'm so sorry they both died at the scene"
"OMG" I grasped my breath catching. I couldn't breathe. The two most important people in my life have been taken away from me. They've left me "Noooooo!" I screeched again holding my belly. It hurts. It hurts real bad... I'm alone "Oh god... This can't be happening" I cry trying not to chock on my own sobs, but my stomach clenched together as my hold body start to shake.
Then my eyes opened and I was sitting in Clay's car outside of Tree Hill High. He looked at me with a small smile. He was worried about me. I could always see it in his eyes ever since that day when I found out that the two people I loved most had gone. The connection with my twin had been broken on this planet. Nothing will ever be the same. I open the car door getting out slamming the door shut behind me. Clay doing the same thing.
We walk through the rest of the car park and head to the school's building "Clay you don't need to look out for me" I say to my brother as we enter the school building "I am a big girl"
"I didn't say you wasn't" He replies taking my bag from the back seat of his car and handing me it "I just worry about you Brooke"
"You don't have to worry about me" I retort back flinging my bag over my shoulder "I'm better now"
"I don't doubt that, but I still worry" I roll my eyes at him "It affected you really bad Brooke... I didn't think you'd make it back"
"Clay..." I warn. I didn't want to talk about it. I didn't want to talk about what happened 2 years ago "Please don't" I beg and he nods pulling me into a sided hug "Thank you" I give him a small smile then kiss his cheek "I'm going to my locker then I got class... forth day I don't want to be late"
"Okay well see you later Cookie"
"Yeah course" I smile back before entering the school.
"Who's that?" Clay turns around and sees Quinn standing behind him with a sweet smile on her face "Friend of yours?"
"Nah..." He shakes his head turning fully towards her "That's Brooke" He tells her "She's my baby sister" Quinn looks confused, but walks closer to her boyfriend.
"I didn't know you had a sister" Quinn says leaning into him as he brought his arms around her.
"No one does" He says with a slight shrug "She's been away for a while" He tells her and she nods listening to him. He didn't want to tell her the whole story about why his sister was sent away or about his other sister not yet anyway. Just like Brooke he didn't want to talk about it.
"Why was she sent away?" Quinn asks tracing circles on Clays shoulder
"I don't really want to talk about it Q" He says looking the direction his baby sister had gone in.
"Oh Clay baby I didn't mean to pry" Quinn quickly tells her boyfriend "I'm sorry" she whispers to him.
"It's fine babe" Clay lets her know "I'm just worried for her"
"I know you are" she takes his hand "Now let's go before we're late" she pulls his arm and he starts to walk with her to the school building.

Room 428. I was looking for room 428, but I couldn't find it for the life of me. The bell was going to ring in 7 minutes and I couldn't find my class. I scramble through my books I just took from my locker and pull out the map principle Turner gave me yesterday and scan it for the class I needed. I see it on the map and memorise the location as I put my stuff back in my bag quickly. I turn around and bump into a hard chest. I look up and his ocean blue eyes lock onto my honey ones "Oh god I'm so sorry" I apologise feeling stupid not looking where I was going.
He brings out his hands and steadies me before flashing a white smile at me "You lost?" He questions tilting his head a little at me like he was trying to figure me out. I don't say anything for a moment or two. I just stayed staring at him "Are you?" He says again waving his hand in my face. I snap back to reality and look at my watch. Crap... 4 minutes before class starts.
"Erm... Yeah I'm lost" I nod slowly flinging my bag over my shoulder again "Looking for English room 428"
"Well you're in luck" He smiles at me turning sideways and nodding his head in a direction "It just happens that I'm in that class too" he moves next to me "Come on newbie let's go before we're late" I nod at him giving a simple thank you as I followed him to the class.

The school day had come to an end. It went flying by today and I wasn't sure if that is because my other school had more classes or if the hours difference affect it, but anyhow I liked it. Don't get me wrong the school is great and I love being here, but I miss Missy my bestfriend from London. I walk through the hall to my locker and put in my combination. Once my lock clicks open I place my books inside and look at the picture of my friends before I left when I felt a presence come up behind me.
"Cookie" I jump at his voice. I guess I wasn't quite ready for people coming up behind me yet "Oh sorry I forgot not to do that" He rushes to say when he saw the expression on my face "Sorry"
"Its fine Clay" I tell him shrugging it off. I guess I need more time to heal on that one "Its fine"
"You sure Brooke… I mean…"
I cut him off "Clay I said it's fine so its fine… please just drop it"
"Okay" He says with a nod "So how's classes been?" He asks changing the subject
"They've been fine" I shrug "I couldn't find English, but then some guy helped me so other than that it's been okay"
"Guy?" He questions narrowing his eyes at me "What guy Brooke?"
"I didn't catch his name" I respond with a small shrug "Didn't have a chance"
"Just be careful okay" I nod "If you need me just call anytime okay"
"I know Clay" I tell him "I know how to get hold of you"
"Good… now do you need a ride?"
I shake my head at him putting my bag back over my shoulder "Nah, I have cheer practice"
"After practice?"
"I'll walk home" I state and then I see him go to protest against that idea, but I put up my hand so he closes his mouth "I think I can walk the ten minutes home Clay… God please just let me be normal for as long as I can" I then turn away from him and head to the gym for practice.

I was in the gym waiting for cheer practice to start when a memory came back to me. The time when Kenzie and I were cheerleaders in California.
"Look at you looking awesome in that cheer outfit" Kenzie says walking into the changing room "Red did always look good on us aye" She says looking at herself in the full length mirror.
"We do look awesome don't we" I agree with her and she just smiled at me through the mirror giving me a small wink.
It was game day. The first game we would be cheering at instead of cheering from the stands. Kenzie picked up her pom poms from her gym bag just as I did. A red T with a small claw painted on both of our cheeks we left the changing room with the other cheerleaders in front of us. Kenzie and I run down the hall cheering for the Tigers as we enter into the gym. The crowd were going wild and it felt amazing seeing all the smiles from the fans. We stopped with the other girls in the middle of the gym and started our squad cheer.
Once we had finished and started to cheer again the crowd joined us as the gym went dark and the announcer introduced the teams. The Tigers came running into the gym and the fans were going crazy. Us cheerleaders stood on the side line jumping up and down waving our pom poms around. When Justin the star basketball player came running up to the side line where we were and winked at Kenzie. He smiled too and she blushed... You could see it because the lights came back on. She jumped towards him and kissed his cheek before we ran back over to the team sending her another wink and a smile the game started.
"What was that Kenz?" I ask with a shocked expression.
She just smiled at me and knocked me to the side playfully "What's the point in being a cheerleader without the perks of flirting with the team"
"Oh Kenzie you do make me laugh" I shake my head at her and turn back to the game jumping up and down cheering for the team. I loved being a cheerleader already.
"I should have known you were a cheerleader" I was brought back to reality when a voice came up from behind me. This time I didn't jump I just tensed and turned around and relaxed when I saw the guy from earlier "Killer body and good moves… yep definitely cheerleader material" I didn't say anything I just blushed a little and smiled showing off my dimples "Cute dimples"
"Thanks" I reply putting down my gym bag "Oh and by the way I'm Brooke as in Davis" I tell him remembering earlier I didn't exactly tell him my name.
"Ahh well you sound more bold and confident than you were earlier" He says and I smile at him again. I've always been that bold and confident girl, but sometimes I lose it then gain it back just like I did today. I lost that bounce in my step for a moment or so, but now its back and I tend to keep it "Clay's sister right?" He asks and I nod "Okay then Brooke" I give him a small smile when I heard someone shout over at us.
"Oi Nathan stop hitting on my Newbie" The head cheerleader says walking over to us. I think her name was Rachel "Brooke is he bothering you" I shake my head looking at him then back at Rachel "Well anyway I think coach is waiting for you Scott" Rachel smirked looking over at the coach "Run along and leave Brookie here alone"
"I wasn't doing anything Red I was just being nice" Nathan defended himself turning from Rachel to look back at me making me blush again "You know I'm always nice"
"I'm sure you are Natie… now run along" Rachel says
"Alright… alright" Nathan holds up his hands and starts walking backwards slowly smiling at me and Rachel "I'll see you around Dimples"
"Yeah I guess you will. Bye Nathan" I give him a nod and a dimple smile.
"Later Scott"
"Yeah catch ya later Red"
Rachel then turned to me and smile "Come Brookie, we still have 10 minutes before I let you guys go home" Rachel loops her arm with mine and we head back to the other girls, but I couldn't help myself, but I looked over my shoulder at the guy I now know as Nathan Scott.

After practice was done I grabbed my bag from my gym locker and headed out to the fresh air. It was mid June and the air was hot with the sun shining. I move a piece of my hair away from my eye and clip it up before slinging my bag on my shoulder and walking to the double gates. I should really ask Daddy when my car would be arriving from London. I start up the side walk and head home. While I was walking I was clicking at my phone replying to messages from Missy and Elena when I heard a car pull up beside me. At first I was a little wry about it, but then I noticed Nathan sitting in the driver's seat. The roof was down… convertible of course… I miss my car.
"Need a ride Dimples" I hear him ask.
A ride... As in getting into a car with someone I did not know..Erm... You see after Kenzie and Josh had died in a car accident I never dared getting into a car with anyone. I walked everywhere...
I stood out on my balcony attached to my room. I was turned in the direction of the room next to mine the one that belonged to Kenzie. We shared a balcony. We shared nearly everything... Just not boys. I was staring at her balcony door expecting her to pop her head out and join me. it had been 2 weeks since I found out she was gone. Her funeral was last week and I barely had the strength to go, but I knew I had to. I had to say bye properly. I crossed my arms over my chest when I felt the wind pass me by. My bedroom door opened. It was a school day. I knew I had to go and I was going to. I just wanted Kenzie back.
"Hey Brookie" It was Clay. Every day this week he had come to check on me. they all have. I haven't been sleeping because I see them both all the time. I haven't been eating when I should because I'm diabetic and need insulin. My eyes burned from all the tears I cry every night all night. I wrapped my cardigan tighter around my body "Brooke" I hear him, but my focus was on the balcony door I was staring at "We should leave for school"
"Okay" I mutter finally turning away from the balcony door and walking through my own. I shut the door and lock it grabbing my bag from my bed I walk out of my room and down the stairs.
"Morning princess" Daddy says. I don't say anything
"Brooke... Sweet you should really..."
"I need to leave for school if I'm going to get there on time" I cut my mother off not wanting to here another eating lecture from her.
"I'll drive you" I froze at the kitchen door. No one is driving me anywhere. I refuse to get in a car with anyone. I turned 16 a couple of days after Kenzie's funeral. Yes that is right she died just before our birthday. She died August 23th 2011 and our birthday was on August 30th.
"No" I shake my head turning to face my family "You will not drive me. No one will. I'll walk. It's not that far anyway" I say
"Brooke... sweetie"
"I said no mother" I bellow at her shocking the whole room including myself "I'm... I'm sorry I need to go" I say running towards the front door and leaving. I now had a slight phobia of driving, but I'm sure I can get over it.
And I did gradually weeks go by and I slowly started to let people drive me places, but only family and then I learned to drive myself at a slow pace.
I send the message to Missy and then put my phone back in my pocket turning to look at Nathan sitting in his car "I only live like 30 minutes away by foot"
"I could get you home in 20" He was gorgeous. I never noticed how blue his eyes were until he was staring at me waiting for my answer. His smile was cute and his smirk was even cuter. When I didn't reply he spoke again "Whatcha say Dimples. Wanna jump in"
"A ride with you..." I look down the street and then moved my hair behind my ear and even though I hate relying on people giving me rides or taking rides from people I nod anyway "Yeah okay sure" His smile widened as he leaned over and opened the door for me.
"Jump in" He says. I get into his car and shut the door putting on my seatbelt and clicking it into place "So tell me… how comes no one knew you were Clay's sister?"
"Eh…" I fiddle with my fingers which I often do when I'm worried or nervous. Great so much for holding up the bold and confident card. I was fiddling with my damn finger and my whole persona changed. I bit down on my lip to stop them from trembling. God why was I acting like the scared little girl I try so hard to get rid of "I was at boarding school for a while" I tell him seeing him nod his head "And Clay never wanted me to go, but erm… my parents thought it'd be good for me and I guess Clay just didn't want people to talk about me much since I know it hurt him when I wasn't here"
"That must have sucked" He stops at a red light and looks at me "I mean being sent away from Clay… it must have sucked to not see him daily"
I nod pulling at my sleeve of my jumper. God I wish that I could control this side of me better, but it seems that I can't and it just loves to make its own appearance without giving me a heads up. I sigh loudly to myself in my head "Yeah it did" I state remembering back when I left Clay at the entrance of me boarding my flight to London, the tears streaming down my face and him not wanting to let me go "It hurt a lot, but I don't blame my parents for doing it… I thank them for it" The light turns green and we start moving again "Oh turn right here and then left at the end"
"I know" Nathan smiles "I've been here before… Clay throws good parties when the rents are out" I smile at him "Your house is awesome too"
"Thank you" Nathan pulls up into my driveway and I see the porch light is on. Once the car is fully stopped I unclick my seat belt and turn to Nathan "Thank you for the ride Nathan" I open the door and get out shutting the door behind me. I hear the window roll down and turn back around.
"No worries Dimples" He beams that perfect smile back at me "Anytime" And with that Nathan pulled back out my drive way and headed out. I watched as his car turned the corner before turning back around and heading to my front door. I turned the handle and as usual like always the door was open… Maybe Clay left it open for me. I push the door open slowly and then shut it behind me making sure to lock it.
