Chapter 4- Cheerleading Competition Part 2

"Brooke, wake up!" Peyton yelled, for like the 15th time. "Where did you go last night?"

Brooke just groaned and pulled the blanket over her head.

"Did you go get drunk somewhere, you should have brought me."

Actually Brooke and Rachel just went to the roof of the hotel and talked all night, her and Brooke got back to their rooms at about 5 in the morning and it was now 10 and they had to do their routine at 11.

"No, that's not it." Brooke said, in a cranky mood, getting out of bed.

"So then where were you last night?" Peyton asked, confused. If she wasn't out getting drunk, what other things could there be?

"Uh...me and Lucas were just-" she lied.

"Ok ok, I don't need to here anymore thank you very much, I don't try to understand your guys's sex life and I don't want to start now." she explained, while she straightened her hair.

Brooke just laughed. It was a fake laugh but Peyton didn't catch on. Brooke felt really bad because her and Lucas hadn't had sex in a while it was kind of funny because Brooke and Lucas just went from having sex almost everynight to just not having it anymore. Brooke was sure Lucas was going to talk to her about it soon, she just had to think of an excuse pretty fast.

"Go get ready, Brooke." Peyton said.

"Yes, I know." she said, going to have a shower.

About half an hour later, when Brooke was ready, she called all her cheerleaders to the lobby so she could talk to them.

"Ok, I hope evrybody got a good nights sleep." Brooke and Rachel looks at eachother and kind of giggled. "Because we have to go win a trophy, because yunno I'm pretty sick of coming here and not winning."

"Yes, ma'am." Peyton said, sarcastically.

Brooke just laughed. "Ok, now lets go kick some ass!"

Everybody left the lobby to go to the gym across the street, along with the guys that were going to watch them.

"Hey, Brooke can I talk to you for a second." Rachel said, stopping Brooke from going.

"Yea, sure, what's up, Rach?" she asked, concerned.

"Nothing with me, I was just wondering...should you be doing this?"

"Rachel, please, I have to do this." Brooke bagged. "I didn't give myself lifts or anything."

"Brooke, I don't want something to happen to you and then know that I could have stopped it." she explained.

"I promise nothing will happen, just please, trust me." Brooke said, seriously.

"Fine, but if something happens I get to tell somebody whats really going on."

Brooke just stopped in her tracks, that didn't sound good to her, she just had to hope nothing happened and everything would be fine.

When it was the Raven's turn to cheer, they did better than they expected. Even with everything going on Brooke set it all aside and she did the best she could.

"Give it up for the Tree Hill Ravens!" the announcer said. People clapped and cheered as they went of to the side.

"Great job, Cheery." Lucas said, hugging Brooke.

"Thanks, baby." she said, kissing him.

"That was the best we've ever done it!" Peyton said, excitedly.

"Yea, I know, great job girls." Brooke said, happily.

Rachel pulled Brooke aside. "Are you ok, Brooke?"

"Yea, I'm fine." Brooke said, with a big smile on her face. "But thanks for being so worried about me."

"Yea."

After all the cheerleading teams went it was time to announce the winner. All the teams gathered around the judge and they announced the second place winner. "And first place goes to...the Tree Hill Ravens! Congratulations, girls!"

Brooke was so shocked, she didn't see that one coming, considering everything that was going on. All the girls ran up to get their trophy, then Brooke thanked them for helping her win it.

After everybody settled down they went and watched the boys play their tournament game. The boys ended up winning, too. To celebrate the girl's and the guy's wins there was party at Nathan and Haley's apartment.

"Hey, babe, I got you drink." Lucas said, handing the cup to Brooke.

"That's ok, I don't feel like drinking right now." she said, tiredly, putting the cup down on the counter.

"Ok...what's wrong, Brooke?" he asked, concerned.

"It's nothing, I'm just tired from today." she said, putting her head on Lucas's shoulder.

Lucas kissed her forehead, then she pulled away. "I actually think I'm gunna go home early."

"Ok, I can take you." he said, putting his drink down.

"No, it's ok, I have my car."

"Are you sure?"

"Yea." she said, kissing him. "I'll talk to you tomorrow."

"Wait, come here." Lucas said, pulling her into a hug. "I love you."

"I love you too, Broody." she said, then left.

Lucas stood there for a minute, trying to understand what just happened, Brooke always loved a good party, she just wasn't acting like herself.

He walked over to Peyton who was talking to Jake. "Hey, Peyton, can I talk to you for a minute?"

"Sure, what's up?" she said, walking over to him.

"Has Brooke been talking to you lately?"

"I'm not sure what you mean, Lucas." she said, confused.

"I mean like really talk to you. She hasn't been acting like herself lately and I'm worried about her." he explained.

"Well, have you tried talking to her?" Peyton asked, laughing a little. Lucas was obviously clueless when it came to this kind of stuff.

"No, but I thought maybe she's not telling me because it's a girl thing or something."

"Ok, Lucas, I can talk to her for you."

"Thanks, Peyt." he said, giving her a side hug.

"No problem, that's what friends are for."

Alright, next up: Brooke finds a family that might want to adopt her baby and Rachel goes with her to meet them. Peyton tries talking to Brooke about what's bothering her. Lucas, Peyton, Haley, and Nathan all join together to find out whats wrong with her, if one person doesn't work than surely 4 can, right? Ok, well, please review. I know mostly everybody wants Brooke to tell Lucas already, but if everything always went that smoothly, what fun would that be? It's way better when you work your way up to it instead. Trust me.
