Chapter 2

The next day. Monday morning before school.

The sound of puking filled the upstairs bathroom, the one attached to Brooke's bedroom, as Brooke was still feeling unwell.

Brooke's hair was all over her face and she felt disgusted with herself. She looked over to the digital clock in her room and saw she was going to be late. Well that was too bad because she was going to be even later because she had to shower.

After carefully standing and grabbing a towel bar she took a couple deep breaths and made sure she could move without falling over. She hurried and grabbed some clothes and then took a shower.

After her shower she went downstairs where her cell phone was sitting on the island in the kitchen and grabbed it and then poured herself some orange juice. She quickly downed the cup and then grabbed her keys and left for school, already late for her first period class.

She really needed to do something about this 'sickness'. It just wouldn't go away. "Well I could always take the test…" But as soon as she said it she shook her head. It couldn't be that. She wasn't ready for that. And if it was, she had no idea what she would do. So she just wouldn't take it and this 'virus' that was affecting her would go away. Or would it?

Brooke needed to talk to Haley she was sure she'd know what to do. But then she already had things of her own to deal with. She wondered if she'd told Nathan yet? Hopefully she would see them at school. Maybe she could steal Haley away from Nathan later and tell her what was going on. But its just a virus. She kept telling herself. There is no reason to tell Haley that…

Brooke pulled into the parking lot at school and saw on her clock in her car that she had already missed her first class of the day. Which was fine she didn't like it anyways. Plus Lucas was in it.

Damnit. She would have to see him today. But of course she would avoid him… Hopefully he wouldn't try and make sure she was ok, but he hadn't followed her the other night… Maybe he really didn't care anymore.

She took a deep breath and then made her self get out of her car, she shut the door and looked up at the school. Students were everywhere making their way to their next class. Her next class would be Literature. And of course Lucas was in it. She groaned and hoped that maybe he skipped today, but usually he paid attention in that class so maybe she'd be fine…

-----Literature Class-----

After Brooke had gotten her books from her locker she had came into class and sat down in the back. Usually Luke liked to sit in the front for this class but he always sat in the back for her. Maybe she would be lucky and sit in the front this time.

Students kept coming in and finally she saw the teacher, but no Lucas… Where was he? Oh well she shouldn't be worried but she couldn't help but wonder why he wasn't here. He wouldn't come in late either he told her once if he was late to class he just wouldn't go. Maybe he was running late today?

But it shouldn't matter. He wasn't going to come up to her after class and kiss her and give her a hug and walk her to their next class. Why did they have to decide they would both take the same classes this year? Her mind kept running and when the teacher started talking Brooke tried to pay attention, she really did, but it wasn't working.

After forty minutes the class was finally over and Brooke could go to lunch. She was happy she would get to see Naley, she hoped Hales had told Nathan about her 'surprise'. Then they could talk about planning a party and having fun and it would distract her from where she thought Lucas had been all day…

-----Lucas's House-----

Lucas laid in bed starring at his ceiling wondering how everyone at school was doing… How Brooke was doing. It shouldn't matter though. This was what he'd wanted. Peyton laying in his bed next to him. He sighed and rolled over to see Peyton getting up and putting her clothes on.

"Are you going to school today Luke?" She asked him, they were already two classes late.

"No, I don't think so…We don't have practice today so…" Luke shook his head and smiled at her.

After Peyton finished she climbed back into bed with him and when he sat up she leaned against his chest.

"Are you ok?"

"Yea. Just tired from last night still." He grinned, lying through his teeth.

Peyton laughed. "Yea well what can I say? You weren't too bad yourself."

"I'll stay home with you ok?" She told him. "I'll go make us some breakfast."

Luke smiled, when he was with Brooke they would always get up and go to his mom's café for lunch because she loved his mom. But now Peyton wanted to cook. That was a good thing right?

"Ok, or we could go to my mom's café…"

Peyton seemed to think about it for a minute and then frowned. "You don't want me to make breakfast?"

"Of course I do…" Lucas sighed, "I just thought it would be easier for us both and I'm sure my mom would love to see you!"

She sighed and finally agreed. "Ok." She muttered hesitantly.

Lucas sighed and got out of bed. Didn't she like his mom like Brooke does? It didn't matter. In the words of Taylor he would have to 'Deal with it!'

-----School-----

"Haley!" Brooke ran up to her best friend with a huge smile on her face. "Where's lover boy at?"

Haley's smile couldn't get any bigger. "He's getting food. Guess what? I told him! He's ecstatic and couldn't be any happier!"

"Aww tutor wife I couldn't be any happier for you guys!" Brooke and Haley went to sit down at 'their' table. Nathan soon joined them, all the others seemed to be absent today.

"So Brooke I'm sure Haley has told you our good news." Nathan was beaming with pride as he sat there and ate his pizza slice.

"Of course, I'm so excited for you guys!"

Haley turned to Nathan whose attitude suddenly seemed to change.

"I'm sorry about Lucas." He said quietly.

Brooke gave a weak smile. "I'll be fine." She said also quietly. Haley reached over and grabbed Brooke's hand and gave it a reassuring squeeze.

"If you need anything let us know Brooke, we'll always be here for you." Nathan told her and grabbed his wife's hand and they both smiled at their best friend.

"Thanks guys." Brooke gave them a smile, maybe she would be able to get over it with the help of her friends.
