I don't own any characters from One Tree Hill or GSH.
Brooke woke to the sun in her face and pain all over. Sitting up she hissed as a sharp pain ripped through her side. "Ow." She said. Looking around she noticed that she wasn't in her apartment. She was also in a sweatshirt that she didn't recognize and in sweatpants too. She looked up to see Pete standing in the doorway. "Hi." She said shifting slightly. Pete walked over and sat on the end of the bed. "Morning, how you feeling?" he asked. Brooke smiled. "Good, groggy though." She said rubbing her head. "Yeah, you blacked out cause of your ribs. The doc's gave you some stuff for the pain." He said handing her the pills the doctors gave her. "Thank you for letting me stay here and taking me to the ER." She said staring into his eyes. "You're welcome love, you hungry?" he asked. "Um, I'll have juice if you have any." She said watching as Pete got up and left.
After finishing her juice Brooke looked at her watch to see that it was almost eleven. "How do you know Felix?" Pete asked as Brooke finished with her breakfast. "We used to date in high school actually. That's another mistake of mine." She said playing with hem of her shirt. Pete noticed and sat back down next to her. "What happened?" "He cheated on me with some girl and then I just didn't want anything from him anymore. He took it bad." Brooke said as she looked back up at him. "Well what are you doing today?" he asked. Brooke raised her eyebrow at him. "Nothing, Why?" she asked curiously. "There's a match today, and I don't want you to be alone with psycho after you. Join me?" he asked. Brooke smiled. "Yeah, sure I'll come."
Brooke and Pete hoped into a cab to go to his brother's house. "I lost my wallet and my keys. I have to see if he'll spare a hundred." Pete said whispering in her ear. The car pulled up in front of the house. "I'll be right back." Pete said as he helped Brooke out of the cab. Both walked up to the house. Pete smiled at her as he knocked repeatedly on the door. A man open, the door and didn't look like he was surprised to see him. "What are you doing?" He asked as Pete pushed himself in the door. "Aye aye! All right, bruv." Pete said walking in. "Who's this Pete?" he asked as Brooke smiled and walked behind Pete and leaned against the counter. Brooke looked to see a guy in the door way. "Matt, this is Pete, Steve's brother. Pete, this is my brother, Matt." Sharon said. Brooke smiled. "Hi, I'm Sharon do you want help put his down?" She asked Brooke. Brooke looked at Pete who winked at her as she walked with Sharon up the stairs.
Sharon walked into the baby's room and she leaned against the door frame. "So, how do you know Pete?" she asked pulling the blanket over the baby. "We met in the subway." Brooke said not wanting to look her in the face. "Look I know I just met you and all but Pete may look like a nice guy but really he's just a thug with thug friends. I don't want to see you get hurt." Shannon said. Brooke shook her head. "Thank you but I can take care of myself." She said walking back down the stairs. Brooke walked back in to see Pete and Steve arguing. "I'll give you a hundred... if you take Matt here to the match." Steve said holding the money next to Matt. "Fuck off, you're having a bubble. I can't take a Yank to football." Pete said annoyed and upset. Steve smiled. "Yeah, you can. And you're gonna be on your best behaviour, do you understand?" Pete tried to reach for the money but Steve pulled it back fast. Pete shook his head and grabbed Brooke's hand walking her toward the exit. "Well, come on, then." Pete said as he passed Matt.
Brooke and Pete walked around the corner before Matt appeared behind them. "I'm not being funny, but the last think I want to do is to take you to the match." Pete said standing in front of Matt. "What about her?" Matt asked pointing at Brooke. "Don't worry about her." Pete said looking back at Brooke who smiled. "So here's how it works. Give me half the money. I'll go to football." "I made a promise to Steve." Matt replied. "Well, Steve ain't here, is he, mate? I am. You're pissing in the wind if you think I'm taking you." Pete said trying to stop Matt from coming. Matt hesitated and looked the other way before speaking. "Cops!" Matt screamed. Pete looked in the direction before catching Matt's foot that was about to kick him. "Well, how fucking stupid do you feel now? Come on, then, dance for me, Yankee. Serves you right for fighting like a bleeding tart, but try that again and I will kick the shit out of you." Pete said making Brooke laugh. Pete helped him up off the ground. "Fuck it. I will take you with me. You might learn something." Pete said wrapping his arm around Brooke's shoulders. "About soccer", Matt asked curiously. "No, mate. Not about soccer. And for fuck's sake, stop saying soccer. Come on, hurry up." Pete yelled as they walked to the train station.
They ended up at a bar on the other side of London. Pete explained to them that it was a place he dealt business and not to speak till spoken too. "Matt give us I minute mate." He said to Matt. Matt walked a little ways away. Pete turned to Brooke. "I don't want you coming to the match with me love. It can get ugly. I don't want you to get hurt." He said moving the hair from her face and looking at the bruise on her cheek. "Look Swill one of my main mate's wife comes here so I want you to hang with her." Pete said. "Will I see you after the match?" she asked taking his hand. Pete smiled. "Course love, come on." He said grabbing her hand and pulling her in the bar with Matt in tow.
