Part 2
You stand in front of her store wondering if you should go in or not. She sees you waving to you to come in. She sure seems happy to you maybe this isn't such a stupid mistake to come see her you say and just go in and see what happens.
"Well you're here so what you think of my store since you do go by it everyday." She says to you knowing she was right but it wasn't to just admire the building it was to see her but even being right near you just can't bring yourself to tell her why you haven't came in till now.
"I have been meaning too but now that I have its really nice I am so proud of you." You say to her and there she goes with that smile you love and you just feel your heart breaking because you know you can never ever show her.
She walks up closer to you embracing you with the hug. "Thank you and your doing so well for yourself too Ms. I have my own label now and didn't call your best friend." She called you her best friend after all these years maybe that's all you will ever be but the look in her eye there is something more but you can't give any kind of hope or even sign you feel anything towards her.
"Sorry but it works both ways Ms. I am too good for everyone and never called me to say you were moving to the west coast." You say to her mocking the tone she just did.
You laugh as does she and in that very moment it felt like those years that you haven't talk didn't seem to matter at all. Brooke is not the same person she was in high school and definitely not like her mother.
"Okay your right but there is a reason why you remember that time when I said I needed to tell you something but once you asked I just said never mind." She asked you but when she thought you weren't looking you caught her checking you out eyeing you up and down.
"Uh possibly that was so long ago Brooke I'm sorry." You admit to her but slightly blush as she continues to check you out.
I'm checking her out and can't believe how much more beautiful she has gotten and I can't even tell her. Seeing her now is great but why would she have avoided me all these years…weren't we supposed to be best friends forever? Maybe she was with what his face Mr. Broody but than I heard that she broke up with him when he visited her here to propose but turned him down. Why would she do that? She had him finally…maybe it was never about him. Oh my god why didn't I ever see it before was she avoiding me the same reason I was avoiding her…crap there goes that idea Brooke Davis your doing it again.
She answers you with a warm smile. "Its okay so um I have to tell you something and I don't want you to get like uncomfortable around me or think of me any differently." She says to you and your mind wonders on what it is she is about to tell you. "I'm gay." She says to you and a light bulb just goes off but you just remain cool.
"I'm not going to judge you and I am very comfortable around you." You say to her realizing now you are the one checking her out and she notices making yourself blush.
"Why P. Sawyer were you just checking me out?" She asks you and you just nod your head. "Mhm one day you will." She says to you knowing the fact you just lied to her because you did check her out.
I love her so much I just want to swoop her off and just give her a big kiss. I saw her checking me out and she totally lied and said she didn't. I still know her but maybe I don't anymore but boy do I want her more than ever. There is still hope that love we both feel is there so why can't either of us say what we feel. I just admitted to her that I'm gay wouldn't you think that would be some kind of sign. No of course not because its Peyton. Say something ask me out Peyton god Davis I am sounding desperate.
"You know maybe I was so do something about it." You blurt challenging her to make the first move but you definitely weren't going too.
"In due time but right now I have to finish inventory you free tonight?" She asks you. Was that a date? Did Brooke Davis just ask you out?
You smile and blush. "Yeah I should be free." You realize that you had to be at the office like right now. "Shit I totally forgot I have a meeting to go too with this new band…call me and we'll take it from there okay?"
"Sure but you sure your not excusing yourself for the fact I just asked you out." she admits.
You reassure that wasn't the problem but you book out of there like there was no tomorrow. You feel stupid as if you weren't waiting for that the moment you seen her. She knows you better than anyone but you have changed you aren't the same person you were in high school neither. You just drive off heading to the office thinking about Brooke the whole time.
Denial.
Were you denying what you felt for Brooke? Could she have been avoiding the same reason you were? You can't run anymore maybe you do have a shot after all. Denial is such a bitch but till you knew for sure she felt the same you were going to keep denying it.
To be continued….okay in italics that is Brooke's thought I'm doing a different perspective instead of doing the whole I for reference of peyton I'm putting as you and she as brooke and when thoughts are rolling around in Brooke's mind I put them in italics just thought I would say that just in case you kind of got confused…and I believe I know where this story is going hope you continue to read it thank you!!
