The next set of photos was from her next relationship. Chase Adams. The guy she had let in after Lucas, the guy who was the hot virgin who she had personally deflowered. The guy who had surprised her with his arrival in New York City for her birthday, insisting that she couldn't spend it alone, the guy who had also moved upto New York for a while, just to be with the girl he loved

Brooke walked out of the club. She was dressed up and ready to go, but she just felt sad being there on her own. Chase, Peyton, Luke, Haley and Nathan had all texted her, but nobody had come down. She had at least expected Peyton to make the effort, but she was probably too busy with Luke or someone. She just hated being in the big apple on her own birthday. She watched a dark haired stranger get out the limo, and the limo went past..she recognised the stranger..who at the moment seemed of recognised her, developed a huge cheesy grin, and was holding a big bunch of flowers

"Chase!" Brooke screamed, running across the road and hurtling herself at her boyfriend

"You didn't think I was going to leave you on your birthday did you?" he smiled, kissing her forehead while Brooke looked at him with wide eyes

"Whats on your mind beautiful?" he asked her, brushing a stray hair out of her eye

"You went to all this trouble, for me?" she almost asked herself

"I go anywhere for the girl I love" Chase said, with a small grin, and Brooke kissed him on the lips

"Same goes for you, boy I love" Brooke smiled, touching his arm

"So pilot boy, where do you wanna go?" Brooke scrunched up her face at him in a cute way

"I say we do something you like..so lets hit that club across the road, get some cocktails and champagne, and have a good time" Chase suggested, and held out his hand to Brooke, who took it gladly

"Im so glad your here, thank you Chase" she said, and he kissed her head again

"As I said, anywhere for the girl I love" he admitted, and they walked across the road, into the club...

Brooke grinned like a nerd at the memory. She was so overjoyed with passion and emotion that Chase had come to see her on her birthday, and taken her out. It was such a lovely night, she had never felt more content then she did with Chase. No he didn't have the fire of Nathan or the passion of Lucas, but he had a certain sweetness about him, a rich quality. He looked after her, he was the only person to bother to see her on her own birthday. She always would have a special place in her heart for the boy who loved her. He even managed to be quite sweet when they broke up when she thought about it, she didn't agree at the time but she saw what he was trying to do. He was all around sweet, and he was like her when they started dating. He had trust issues, big ones. He had been cheated on aswell, he knew what it was like to be hurt by the ones he loved, first hand.

"Brooke, this has been great but.." Chase started, and Brooke frowned, and took her head off of his chest, knowing that conversations starting with that never ended nicely

"But what?" Brooke looked at him

"I can't do this" Chase said, closing his eyes, it was almost as if he didn't want to say it either

"Can't do what?" Brooke asked, she didn't like Chases vacant expression, or his unwillingness to look her in the eye

"This..us" Chase admitted, and Brooke's eyes widened, this was completely out of the blue

"Why?" Brooke asked, trying not to sound angry or distressed, but she was, her heart was beating 20 to the dozen, was she being dumped

"Because im not standing in your way Brooke..your mums called 5 times this week saying your behind on your work and I can't be the guy who puts out your fire" Chase said, sounding as if he was doing something noble, but Brooke didn't see it this way, she just saw him as taking the fools way out

"What if I want you to "put my fire out"" Brooke answered, upset, crossing her arms and standing up to face him

"I can't be that guy Brooke, your too talented for that" Chase miserably said, standing up

"So what thats it just because my mum calls a couple of times your dumping me, your dumping us?" Brooke shouted, running her hands through her hair

"Can we not use the term dumping?" Chase cut in, and Brooke rolled her eyes

"Thats what it is when only one of the people in the relationship agrees to it!" Brooke smarted, she threw her hands up and sat on the bed

Chase crossed over to where Brooke was, and kissed her on the lips for the final time, it was a intense kiss, it was short but sweet, it had every emotion packed into it, then he kissed her on the forehead. Brooke grabbed his wrists

"Don't do this Chase, we can make this work" Brooke's eyes started to fill up with tears, much like Chase's himself

"Focus on your work Brooke, thats whats going to make you a household name" Chase grimaced

"I dont want to be a household name" Brooke moaned

"Im distracting you in the most important years of your life" Chase shut his eyes again, a tear slipping down his cheek

"No your not your being there and I want you here please don't do this" Brooke started, but she knew he would shut her down again as he did.

"I love you" he said, for a final time, before walking out of the room, and probably never coming back

Brooke sat on the bed, hugging her knees to her chest. She was in a alien town, she didn't know anyone, and she had just been dumped by her only ally in the city. And thats why she spent her summer that year, sobbing into the blankets everyday in the mornings and the evenings, and spending any additional time working on designs. Chase Adams had broken her heart, but she had done the one thing he had commanded her to. She had focused on her work and become more and more famous as she climbed up the social ladder. She supposed that she could thank him for that.

Brooke almost felt sad at the mere memory of the break up with Chase. Although people didn't really perceive him as one of the great loves in her life, she did. And that break-up was one of the worst. Just for the pure fact it was so out of the blue. With Luke and Nate, she was in control, she knew things were coming to a end but she thought things with Chase were just beginning. She peered down at the picture once more, it was the two of them on her birthday, outside the limo that Chase had arranged to pick them up, after the clubbing. He had bought a digital camera, and he asked a set of equally drunk girls to take some pictures for him. The two of them posed for many pictures, but this one was special to her. She was looking up at him and he was smiling at the camera, a arm slung around Brooke's shoulders. Brooke was holding the flowers with a big grin, and she had never seen herself look so in love. Thats all she wanted. That feeling again.


The next chapters gonna be a bit longer because I actually have to introduce Clay and make sure he seems like a important part of Brookes life, cause they haven't been together on the show so I have to build up a big story!
