Chapter One: Breaking this façade. Part 1

Brooke Davis hustled around her mothers café, it was an unusually busy day for a Tuesday, but they could always use the business, so she didn't mind for one second. She walked to the back to fill some drinks and ran into her best friend, Peyton Sawyer, who was hanging out behind the register.

"Hey Pey," Brooke said as she filled the drinks.

"Hey Brooke," Peyton said back and saw Jake Jagielski and Lucas James walk into Karen's Café. She smirked as she saw Lucas look around the café until he saw Brooke behind the counter, "It's like freaking clock work you know that?"

"What is?" Brooke asked confused.

"Lucas James coming in here, checking you out," She told Brooke with a smirk. Peyton would kill for a guy that hot to notice her, but it was just like it for Brooke to get all the attention.

"You're crazy Peyton. Did you lock yourself in your closet all night again? You know how doing that makes you see things!"

"I'm serious Brooke, everyday, Lucas and that weird friend of his comes in here, sits in your section, and just watch you. Well Lucas does, not Jake."

"I have no idea what you're talking about Peyton. Luke and I are just friends, plus I'm dating Felix, you know that," She said and let her eyes travel to the table Lucas and Jake were sitting at. Brooke had to admit, the boy was cute, but the word around school was he didn't date, so Brooke had resigned to never being able to be his girlfriend.

"Felix, the dog," Peyton stated and rolled her eyes, she hated Felix with a fiery passion, the guy just didn't rub her the right way. And he was defiantly not good enough for her best friend.

"Stop saying his a dog, he's nice. And totally into me. I don't see why you can't just accept the fact," Brooke said and walked away to deliver the drinks.

"Because he's screwing half of the cheerleading squad," Peyton muttered under her breath as Brooke walked away. She didn't understand how Brooke missed it, everyone knew Felix was a jerk, except Brooke.

"Lucas why do we have to come in here every freaking day?" Jake Jagielski asked his long time best friend, Lucas James.

"Because they have good food here," Lucas stated and took his usual seat at their usual booth. His eyes immediately started to scan for Brooke Davis. The pretty girl who worked here. He spotted her behind the counter talking to her skinny, blonde best friend, Peyton.

Jake looked up at Lucas after he sat down and groaned, "You know if you wanted to stare at Brooke, you didn't have to bring me along to do it," He told him and pulled out the menu.

"I'm not here to stare at Brooke, I'm just hungry," He said and watched as Brooke walked over to their table. Before she could get to their table, she was cut off by two customers having an argument. Lucas moved a little so he could see what was going on, he saw one of the men pull out a shiny object and point it at the other man. It was a gun, Lucas just didn't know it till the trigger was pulled and he saw Brooke fall to the floor. He jumped up and ran over to Brooke.

"LUCAS NO!" Jake yelled to the blonde. Lucas wasn't listening, he just saw Brooke lying on the floor dying, and he had to do something. Lucas saw Peyton approaching them and shot a glance towards Jake, who immediately grabbed Peyton around her waist, muttering curse words to himself

Lucas ripped open Brooke's shirt and put his hands over Brooke's wound and concentrated really hard. He knew he shouldn't be using his powers in public, but this was Brooke Davis. The prettiest girl in school, the one he knew he could never had, but the one he didn't ever want to lose. He closed his eyes and let the wound beneath his hands heal. Once the wound was completely closed, Jake pulled Lucas up off the floor and drug him out of the café.

Brooke closed her shirt as she watched Lucas and Jake run out of the café. She felt Peyton's arms close around her.

"You ok?" Peyton asked, looking Brooke into the eyes.

"Yeah, I'm fine, just ugh in shock," Brooke told her best friend, but her eyes said a totally different thing. She had no idea what had just happened. It felt like she was shot, she felt the blood coming out of her stomach. She had also felt Lucas James put his hands over her stomach and then dark. Brooke knew she had died, and Lucas some how brought her back.

"No, you're not fine Brooke, what happened? Why was Jake holding me back?" Peyton rattled off. She needed to know what happened to her best friend.

"I have no idea Peyton."

I just thought I'd give y'all a little taste before I really got into the story. So tell tell tell me what you think!!
