Waiting On You

Chapter 4

Love Is Never Forgotten

Brooke

I don't want to forgive them. How could they do that to me?! Nathan! Haley! Why did you betray me? I have to go back. Tree Hill is my home too. Brooke could not stop thinking about Haley's visit. This brought back the memories.

Flashback Three Years Ago....

Brooke had gone over to Nathan's wanting to tell him about her mom moving to California and to give him a picture of the twins. She walked up the stairs and turned towards Nathan's bedroom door. Slowly she twisted the door knob and pushed it open. "Oh my god! What the hell is going on?!" Haley lay under Nathan while he was on top of her. Brooke ran out of the room, down the stairs as fast as she could possibly go.

"Brooke! Wait!"said Nathan getting out of the bed putting his clothes and boots on running after her."Stop!" She then turned around tears coming down her face. "I am so sorry."

"How could you do this to me?! How!"screamed Brooke in complete hurt and anger. Nathan stared at her with true apology in his eyes. Haley then came down the stairs with her clothes on. Brooke walked over towards her. "You are supposed to be my best friend! I guess all you are is a slut!" She then put her hand back, formed a fist and punched Haley in the face. Haley fell instantly holding her cheek. A bruise was already beginning to form. Nathan walked over towards them and tried to grab Brooke's hand. "Don't touch me!" She began crying once again as she ran out of the house.

Nathan, Haley and Jamie

"Hey, buddy. What did you and daddy do today?"Haley asked her three year old son. Nathan then handed her his duffel bag filled with toys and clothes.

"We went to play baskekball. It was weally fun Momma."Jamie replied running in the house to his room. Haley then turned her attention to Nathan.

"I went to see Brooke. She completely flipped out on me though. I just wanted to apologize, but she can't even look at me."said Haley.

"Yeah I know she called me."Nathan responded and Haley looked at him in shock.

She then said, "What? I thought you guys haven't talked since you flew to New York and asked her to marry you."

Flashback Two Years Ago....

Nathan knew the person he wanted to be with. Somehow he always knew. Brooke Davis. That's why he got on a plane and was now in New York. First he went to Clothes Over Bros Enterprises, but they wouldn't give him her address. They said if he gave them his name and number they would get back to him as soon as possible. Right when "Nathan Scott" came out of his mouth a short woman with long black hair ran over towards him.

"Wait a minute your Nathan Scott?"asked the girl and Nathan nodded his head. "I'm Millicent, Brooke's assistant. I know all about you. Come with me and I will give you her address." Nathan followed her to the very end of the hall and into what looked to be Brooke's office with pictures of the girls all over. "Here it is." She handed him a piece of paper and Nathan gave her a hug of gratitude. He then ran out of the building and drove to Brooke's house. He spotted her escapade and knew she was home,climbing out he ran into the building and straight to the elevator. Once inside, he pressed the button with penthouse next to it. In less than thirty seconds Nathan had arrived. Since the elevator opens right into the apartment Nathan stepped inside.

"Who is it?"he heard the love of his life call. Brooke walked out into the foyer slash living room where Nathan was, a gasp escaping her lips. "What are you doing here?" she said with a slight hint of anger in her voice.

"Brooke, what I did was a terrible mistake and over this past year I realized that I never stopped loving you. What happened with Haley was a one time thing that I know hurt you and I feel so bad about it."Nathan said trying to convince Brooke to forgive him. He then realized it was not that effective seeing as in she was giving him a glare.

"How could you?!Nathan, she was my best friend and you slept with her! Now you come here and just expect me to forgive you! No, I won't!"she responded. Nathan felt a tear slide down his face. She would not forgive him. He walked out towards her and she backed away, but his arm caught hers and he opened the palm of her hand placing a Tiffany's box inside it. Brooke looked down knowing why he had come here.

"I thought you could forgive me. I wanted to ask you to marry me and live the rest of our lives together. Now I see that can't happen."he said walking back into the elevator. Brooke closed her hand around the box and sobbed.
