Oi Oi You Sexy readers… I am back and with a new story… LIFE CAN CHANGE IN A HEARTBEAT… I had this chapter typed up on my memory card and I found it weeks ago and thought I'd go with it and make it my new project of mine which I am loving at the moment… I didn't want to upload until I had at least 5 to 6 chapters and now that I have I can upload and carry on with it and see how many people like it…
I also have like 3 other stories I'm working with, but this one I really wanted to get out there since I haven't written one like this before because I'm such a fan of Brooke Davis and I really didn't want to write a story where she hurts so bad, but I was talking to one of my friends who happens to be a fanfic writer and she agreed that the story should go this way and not the other way… so I just hope you all don't hate me and stay with me throughout this story.
Also I have a reader who seems to love my work and has asked me months ago to upload one of my new stories, so I am partly doing this for them, but also to see who else would like it… So please read and review to let me know what you think and of course if you have any ideas that will go with the way I'm going with this story then you can leave them either in a review or private message me…
So anyway here is the first chapter and I hope you enjoy!
Abortion... That was the only thing running through my head as I sat in my living room in my big house by myself with the door locked, lights off and curtains closed.
Four weeks ago my life had been perfect... Not family perfect because my parents died when I was 10, but social life perfect, I had a boyfriend I loved a bestfriend I adored, but then everything changed and life became a nightmare when I found out my bestfriend had slept with my boyfriend which I only found out because I thought I'd do the honourable thing and go see my meant to be boyfriend and make sure he was okay after the accident he got into, but when I did; I found him and my bestfriend in bed together. Yep webcams are just as much proof as seeing it with my own two eyes. I was crushed. I never thought my bestfriend could do that too me so I did the only thing I could think of... I ran.
Now four weeks later I'm sitting in my living room in my house with the door locked; lights off and curtains closed with the white stick on the coffee table with two thin lines of pink confirming that I am indeed pregnant. I didn't know what to do or what to think, but the only solution I could think off was abortion... No one had to know, I could go to the clinic tomorrow and book an appointment and then put the whole thing behind me. I then put both legs up on the couch I was sitting on and held them up against my body. I was scared. I'm alone and all because Lucas had slept with Peyton weeks before. Telling Lucas was the next option I had thought off, but doing that would make it real and at the moment at this moment of time I wanted to just think of it as a bad dream before going school tomorrow and telling Lucas the truth... I've decided that telling him that I'm indeed pregnant with his baby at only 18 was the better option because this is all too scary to deal with alone.
'You've reached Brandon Davis. I'm sorry I can't take your call right now. Leave your name and message at the beep and I'll get back to you when I can' That is about the 10th time I've called him since those two pink lines showed up on that little white stick. And that would be my big brother Brandon who always told me he'd protect me from hurt, but his nowhere to be found.
Next I try my sister Ashley who went off to college last year and hasn't been heard from since… oh no wait I got a post card from LA last week saying she was staying with friends. So much for going to college and sticking it out. I dial her number and heard it ring three times before it reaches her voicemail 'Congratulations you've reached Ashley Davis last year's Tree Hill High Prom Queen and ex cheer captain. If it's really important I'll get back to you as soon as I can. Just leave your digits after the tone' I roll my eyes at her voice and hang up. I guess I'm truly on my own. I get up from the couch and slowly walked up to my room taking the test with me burying it under my pillow away from sight, away from mind so I thought. Tomorrow was going to be a long ass day.
Waking up the next day it almost felt like a dream until I put my hand slowly under my pillow and felt the white stick where I had put it. I sighed grabbing the test and throwing it across the room it landing in the door way of my bathroom, I pulled the covers away from my small frame and got out of bed. Walking into my bathroom having a quick wash before putting on a white skirt, my pink blouse and my pink pumps. Heels just weren't needed today, not for the mood I'm in.

Pulling into the school parking lot I could see Lucas and Peyton laughing with Haley and Nathan like nothing had happened not one of them knowing the truth. No one, but me knowing what was really going on. The fact that I now have a baby growing inside me. Just that concept made my belly sink a little. What was I going to do? I have a human inside my belly. My baby. No I thought to myself. I can't be thinking like this. I can't call it a baby, not now, not ever, but I couldn't help it, I ran my hand over my still flat stomach as I checked myself in the mirror in my car before opening my car door grabbing my bag before slamming the door shut catching everyone's attention. I could feel Lucas's eyes on me. I ignored him for the moment and walked pass all of them entering the school. Walking up to my locker I put my combination into the lock and hear the click opening it I took out my English book and put my history book in its place then shutting the locker and heading down the corridor "You wasn't in Calculus yesterday?" A voice I knew all too well said behind me.
"Checking up on me aye?" It was more of a statement, but came out as a question. When I didn't get a reply I spoke again "Wasn't feeling all that good not like it's any of your business anymore anyway" I reply turning the corner. The voice following "What is it you want Lucas?" I give a loud sigh wishing he'd leave me alone.
"You too talk to me" He answers running in front of me to stop me from walking.
"You're in my way" I say circling him "And I don't want to talk to you"
"Brooke…" He pleads "We didn't mean to hurt you" Lucas yelled. Was he joking? Ha his one funny dude.
"So you keep saying" I turn to face him "You properly didn't mean for me to catch you either" I laugh bitterly walking backwards "Just like I sure as hell didn't mean to fall in love with you" I then turn and keep walking putting my finger up at him "I'm the stupid one to think you could ever be different"
"Brooke" Lucas pushes "I am different, I - just..."
I shake my head stopping him "No Lucas... I don't want to hear it " I stop for a minute "I'm late for class " I then start walking again turning the corner and heading to my class before I was really late.
-xx-
I walk into class as the bell rang. So close to being late again. I walk to my sit and see Mr Lawrence walk in with a stack of papers. Great our essays from last month. The one we had to write about the most important person in our lives. The one I wrote about Lucas, because at the time he was the most important person in my life just like Peyton was.
"I'm going to hand out your essays from last month. Some of you done really good and others I need more from you" Mr Lawrence came to my desk and dropped my paper on the table I was sat at. To my surprise a big capital letter A was written at the top. A smile came across my face, I worked so hard on that paper and it successfully got me a big fat A "Well done Miss Davis, the best paper of the class" Mr Lawrence gave me a smile and walked back to the front of the class. My morning had just become awesome. 59 minutes had come by well fast and class was over. The bell would ring in 30 seconds when Mr Lawrence wrote a new assignment on the black board "I'd like you to write 1000 words on something life changing that has happened in the last month" I look down at my flat stomach. Well I guess I'll be writing about either being cheated on and betrayed by the two people I thought loved me or I'll write about my unborn baby I was thinking about getting rid of. The bell rang bringing me out of my thoughts. I gathered up my things and headed for the library. Free periods always ended up boring.
Opening the library door I saw it was empty. Mrs Browning had her glasses on the edge of her nose like always looking through the book shelves making sure everything was in place. I stalked to a spare computer and log on clicking on the internet icon waiting for Google to come up. Typing in 'abortion' I clicked search. Loads of sites appeared on the screen. I scanned the page and was too scared to go any further. Could I really do that? Could I really get rid of my baby? Isn't that classed as murder? Do I really want to be the girl who got knocked up at 18 and then murdered her unborn baby "Shit what do I do?" I curse at myself.
"About what?" My eyes widen and I close down the page quickly turning to see Lucas standing behind me.
"Shouldn't you be in class?" I ask logging out and standing up to leave. I'll do the research another time I thought to myself.
"Shouldn't you?" He asked with a raised eye brow.
"I have a free period, what's your excuse?" I walk pass him and too the door.
"I was looking for you"
"Well you found me" I say sarcastically walking out of the library and too the car park. Lucas following me.
"Where you going?" Lucas questions as we stop by my car. I take my keys out of my bag and open the car door throwing my bag on the passenger seat.
"Home" I reply with a sigh.
"Brooke" Lucas grabs my arm spinning me to face him "Please... Let's talk"
"Okay fine" I take my arm from his grasp "Let's talk... What shall we talk about huh?" I bring a finger to my chin tapping it softly "Oh yeah let's talk about the fact that my boyfriend slept with my bestfriend behind my back when I was worried about his safety"
"Brooke I apologise for that. I'm really sorry" Lucas says not looking at me "Peyton and I wasn't meant to happen. It just…"
"It just did right" I shake my head giving a dry laugh. I see his face drop and he hangs his head "How did I guess that was gonna come out your mouth next"
"Let me explain okay" Lucas says. I didn't say anything so he carried on "I was hurt and I was confused and you weren't here. You were away, so Peyton came over to check I was okay after the accident and we were talking and then she tells me she is worried for me and I just..."
"I'm pregnant" I interrupt him not knowing if I was meaning too say it or not. I just wanted out. I didn't want to hear the bullshit he was telling me about him and Peyton and about that night.
"W-What?" Lucas asks open mouthed "Y-Your w-what?"
"Pregnant" I repeat seeing the light in his eyes go out and shock written all over.
"Brooke" Lucas says my name and I shake my head as he walks closer to me signalling for him to stop where he is "Is it mine" My eyes shot back at him and I swear if looks could kill oh my Lucas Scott would be dead right now. My eyes turned angry and cold. How dare he ask me that? Of course it was his baby... Our baby. What a fricking dickhead.
"I can't believe you just asked me that" I say getting into my car and shutting the door locking it putting down the roof.
"I didn't mean any offence" He defended himself once the roof to my car was down. I shook my head at him again "It's not like I'm the only guy you've slept with Brooke" He was asking to get bitch slapped.
"You're the one that slept with my bestfriend while we were dating Luke, so don't try and sound all Mr Innocent when you're far from it" I turn the key and start the engine "It's yours" I simply say putting my sunglasses on "But don't worry Luke I'm sorting it"
"What does that mean?" Lucas asks with a worried look replacing the shock on his face.
"It means there will be no baby tomorrow" I answer putting the car in gear and driving off.
"Brooke... Wait" Was all I heard in the distance.
Driving through Tree Hill always seemed to calm me down. I parked up at the river court turning off the engine and getting out striding over to the benches and placing my small bum on it. This had always been my thinking place way before I knew Lucas used to play there with his boys before joining the Tree Hill Ravens. The wind started to blow, but surprisingly I didn't feel cold, I just felt numb properly from all the hurt my ex bestfriend and ex-boyfriend had put me through for the last four weeks, now I had to go through the baby problem by myself because yet I couldn't trust anything that Lucas would say to me when he finally found me or tomorrow at school. I had thought about ditching school and calling in sick, but then it was game day tomorrow so I couldn't do that. The head cheerleader had to be at the game unless I was dying and since I wasn't; ditching school wasn't an option. Hours had passed so I decided it was best if I headed home to an empty house. I climbed off the bench and headed to my car getting in and heading home.
-xx-
School seemed to be going better than I thought it would. I had been ditching Lucas ever since I had seen him staring at me across the quad while Haley had been talking to him. I had wrapped my cardigan around me as protection and heading into the school hoping to not bump into him. Once I entered my combination into the lock a little folded up paper had fallen to the floor. I looked around seeing no one, so I bent down slowly picking it up and holding it in my hand. I took out my Calculus book and shut my locker door. Leaning against the locker I unfolded the piece of paper I had retrieved from the floor. Reading it I rolled my eyes scrunching the paper up and throwing in the nearby trash can. It simply read in his neat handwriting.
We need to talk. At yours after school. I'll be there at 4
So he wants to talk, but when everything came out about him and Peytwhore he was nowhere to be found days after I confronted him. I then see him walking in through the double doors from the quad. Peyton by his side. Yeah so much for them not being together. Rolling my eyes I walk down the corridor and into a spear class that I thought was empty until I heard someone cough to make them known. I turn around slowly to see the other brown headed brown eyed Scott boy sitting at a desk studying so it looked like anyway.
"Greeeat another Scott boy" I mumbled to myself "God I hope Dan Scott stopped having kids otherwise we'd have a bunch of jackasses or bitches running around town breaking girls or guys hearts"
"Hmm" The sound came from Nathan. Was he thinking? I don't know "I'm not sure if I should be offended at all by that comment" Nathan says with a little smile playing on his lips.
"I wasn't talking to you hot shot" I hiss at him "I was thinking out loud"
"Oh I see" Nathan started writing back in the note book he had on the desk in front of him "I think I'm gonna take offence to that now"
"Doesn't bother me Natey boy" I shrug "It should be clear for me to go out there now" I whisper to myself.
"Hiding from Luke" Nathan questions not looking up from the note book, but knowing I was looking at him "He was looking for you this morning"
"Yeah right… I just saw him with Peyton" I turn to look at the raven haired Scott boy "Besides if he was looking for me he can look all he likes" I then look out the window on the door "I'm heading out. Laters hot shot"
"Yeah bye Davis" Nathan gave a small smile as I retreated from the class room and headed to my actual class. The one Lucas was in, but at least I wouldn't have to talk to him.
-xx-
"Hey Brooke" I'm sitting on a bench in the quad at lunch when I hear the voice approach.
"Well if it isn't my skanky ex bestfriend" I say moving my eyes back to my salad I was picking at. Not a big eater now days.
"Okay I deserve that" Peyton mutters. I'm not sure to herself or me, but I look back up to her.
"Nah Peyton you deserve a whole lot more" I start to pack my lunch away in my bag and grab my phone.
"Brooke can we talk?" She asks and I just want to laugh. She and Lucas have got to be kidding me "Pleeasseee" she pleaded.
I give along sigh "What's there to talk about Peyton?" I reply "I was out of town to visit my Aunt and Uncle, but come back as soon as Haley tells me Lucas was in an accident to find you in bed with him… That's all the facts so there is nothing more to talk about"
"It wasn't like that Brooke" Peyton tries to assure me "Let me explain please"
"Fine explain"
"He begged you too stay and not go Brooke, but you left anyway and then he hated himself because he shouldn't have said that since it was only two weeks so he got drunk thinking he lost you and drove home only to get hit by another car, so I was only going over there to check up on him, but things got heated and…"
"And you thought you'd sleep with your bestfriends boyfriend"
"You weren't here Brooke. He was hurt real bad and you wasn't here, so what kind of girlfriend did that make you" I stand up real fast being right in front of her and then suddenly my hand collided with Peyton's face so hard it made her head turn. How dare she say that to me?
"How dare you?" I spit at her "I was on the first flight back when he got in the accident. I came rushing back because the guy I am utterly in love with was in an accident and I was scared to lose him. So when I get back to Tree Hill Haley tells me it wasn't that bad of an accident and that he was home, so I went to go see him and instead I saw him at your house in your bed. So don't you dare say I wasn't a good girlfriend when you wasn't a good bestfriend" I then walk pass her and head to my car. No classes this afternoon. Time for me to go home.
-xx-
I was sitting at the island in my kitchen looking down at the number I found on the internet. I kept turning the paper around, my phone beside it just staring at both. I took a deep breathe picking up my phone and tapping in the number and pressing the call button. It starts ringing and I debate whether or not to hang up when I heard a voice answer on the other line.
"Hello this is Tree Hills young people clinic, how may I help you?" A youngish sounding lady answered the phone. She seemed nice, but it was properly in her job description to be non-judgmental.
"Oh… erm… hi" I stutter into the phone. My words catching a little in my throat. I take a sip of my water and feel my throat automatically clear "I was just wondering if I could book an appointment"
"Of course you can darling" I hear the sweet voice say. I can hear some clicking on the computer she was typing at "What would the appointment be for?"
"An abortion if possible" I whisper hating the way it sounded coming from my mouth. It felt like a bad taste I couldn't get rid of.
"Okay sweetie" I wait on the line as I still hear some clicking going on "What's your name honey?"
"Brooke" I tell her "Brooke Davis"
"Okay" She mutters to me "Age please"
"18" I whisper feeling ashamed of having this conversation with anyone let alone a lady I don't know.
"You go to school Brooke?" She asks I nod my head even though she can't see me.
"Yes I do"
"Okay honey how about tomorrow after school?" She asks "We have a slot for 4:00"
"Yeah that will be fine thank you" I take a deep breath.
"Okay" The lady says to me "Tomorrow at 4:00 in the afternoon, all booked for you sweetie; we'll see you tomorrow to 4:00"
"Thank you" I reply before quickly hanging up. That must have been the longest phone call of my life.
So there you have it… the first chapter is over and there is so much more to come…Does Brooke go through the abortion…Do she and Lucas get through this together? Is Brooke really alone? Stay tuned in to find out… Hope you all are having an awesome weekend and don't get too drunk or better yet…have a drink for me… Much love always…
