Okay, short chapter. Hopefully It gives you an Idea of what's to come......
Brooke stood at her window peering out, waiting for her parents to pull up in the driveway. This was going to be the first time seeing them in 2 months.
They have a house in california which they visit for 2 months every year, they always had even before Brooke and Haley were born.
When they were younger, they used to go with them. Now that they're both old enough to care for themsleves they choose to stay home.
Brooke heard Lucas and Haley laughing, she walked outside and saw them playing basketball. 'Having fun?' , she asked watching them play.
Haley laughed, 'You should be too, Instead of getting yourself worked up'. Brooke folded her arms, 'I'm not worked up, I just...
'You just wanna keep being Daddy's little princess'. Haley said as she tried to get the ball of Lucas.
Brooke smiled as her parents pulled up in the driveway. 'There's my little girl', her dad said as she ran into his arms. 'She's 16 Dad, Hardly little'. Haley said grabbing their luggage.
Their father, Charlie was a very uptight, and wealthy man. He knew what he liked and made sure he eliminated what he didn't, his little girls as he called them were his life.
Brooke being the youngest of the two, was his little princess. Haley, she was the oldest and he expected a lot from her, he just didn't show his love for her in the same way.
'It's nice to see you sweetheart', he said giving Haley a side hug. Their Mom, Victoria was a golddigger, she hardly ever interacted with her children and she only cared for herself.
'Hey Mom', Haley said trying to endure being in her presence. 'Haley', she said walking past her.
Lucas stood in the distance holding his basketball, he was everything he didn't want Brooke to have. He wasn't wildly competative, he wasn't rich and he didn't have a future plan.
Brooke pulled a strand of hair away from her face as she and her dad walked over to Lucas. 'And who Is this?', He asked giving him a less than impressed look.
Lucas held out his hand, 'Mr. Davis, It's an honour to meet you I'm Lucas Scott Brooke's.... , Brooke jumped in. 'My friend, he's my friend dad'.
He shook his hand, as Lucas gave Brooke a hurt and confused look. They passed him, 'Are you coming in Lucas?', Charlie asked.
Lucas rolled the basketball around in his hands for a few seconds, then dropped it. 'Uh.. no thanks, I've gotta be somewere. It was nice to meet you'.
He started walking away, 'Luke?', Brooke shouted as he continued walking. She sighed deeply and went in her house, still watching him walking in the distance.
Haley approached Brooke in the kitchen, 'Where's Lucas?'. Brooke bit her lip, 'He's gone home'.
'What?, I thought he was gonna hang out today - get to know dad'. She shook her head and sat in the kitchen chair, 'He's mad at me'.
Haley sat across from her, 'Mad? , but why?'. 'He tried to introduce himself as my boyfriend, I told dad that he was just a friend'. Haley sighed,
'What? , why would you say that?'. Brooke's gaze followed over to her father, he was in the corner of the room attempting to work the kitchen plasma.
'Oh I get it, Haley continued. 'You're ashamed of him'. Brooke looked in her eyes, 'I ..... , Haley waitied for her reply, 'well?....
'I don't wanna be ashamed of him', Haley gave her a dissapointed laugh. 'You're unbelievable, you talk like you're not in control of your actions'.
Brooke fiddled with her perfectly appiled nail polish, 'I saw dad, the way he looked at him I just knew he wouldn't approve Hales'.
'So?, You never asked for his approval before. Lucas is a great guy, and you know it's true', Haley stood up and walked out of the kitchen.
Leaving Brooke to rest on the thought.
Lucas was now at his friend Skillz house, he sat in silence feeling like an idiot. 'Hey, Luke why you lookin' like you just seen a murder dawg?'.
He looked up at him, 'I'm fine, just a long day'. Skillz threw the small rubber basketball in the hoop, 'sometime's I suprise myself'. He laughed.
Lucas fake smiled, 'That's why you're on the school team skillz'. He sat down next to Lucas, 'Yeah, then why ain't you?'. Lucas shook his head, 'I don't know'.
'Well, I know that you got game'. They both laughed. Lucas stood up , 'Well I'm gonna take off, I'll see you later'. Skillz smiled, 'See you later Luke'.
He walked home and his phone began ringing, he read called ID , 'Brooke', he flipped it open. 'Hello?'. 'Lucas? Hi, I didn't think you were gonna pick up'.
He sighed, 'Yeah, well what Is It?'. 'I just wanted to say that I'm Sorry'. He nodded, 'There you said It, I'll see you around'.
'wait..., the line went dead. 'Lucas?', she said trying to see if he was still there. She put her phone on the dresser next to her bed and threw her head into her pillow.
'What did he say?', Haley asked standing at her door. Brooke sat up and picked up a teddy bear that sat on the foot of her bed, 'He said, See you around. What does that mean?'.
Haley sat next to her, 'It means He's hurt'. Brooke looked at her, 'I just wanted him to say It was okay, and that he wasn't mad anymore'. Haley pulled her in and gave her a hug.
'but he didn't, he didn't say anything like that'.
