A/N: Gah! I was so meant to update this yesterday but I never... -whistles- reason being was because I had a really busy day at college. Did aerobics and volleyball and I have to tell you, it knocked the life out of me! I hurt my shoulders, wrist and abs too... don't ask how. Anyway here is part two and the italics part is basically a look back on the Halloween party. I hope it doesn't suck. Oh and there's a little bit of JohnnyxBrooke but nothing major.

7. Halloween II

Brooke laid her head down on her pillow and curled herself into a small ball. She had came back to the dorm way before everyone else, if anyone asked; she had a headache and felt unwell. In all honesty, she didn't feel unwell or had a headache which was odd seeing as Johnny gave her a few beers to knock back. Brooke never really liked to drink but couldn't resist when Johnny gave her a beer. It was a party and she was meant to have fun so she accepted the beer. It tasted a little bitter but she added some lime to it to keep the bitterness away. All she could taste now was bitterness, but for a very different reason...


Brooke arrived at the party with Heidi, Zoe and Beatrice in tow. The music pumped through the floor, the vibrations being felt throughout their bodies and hearts bumped to the beats.

Standing on her tiptoes, Brooke looked around for Petey but couldn't see the small boy. Her eyes searched the room but still no sign of Petey until Zoe suddenly shouted, very loudly, near Brooke's ear, startling the blonde.

"Jimmy!" yelled Zoe. She jogged towards her boyfriend and jumped onto his back and bear hugged him from behind. Zoe and Jimmy laughed then kissed when they greeted.

Beatrice left Brooke and Heidi to go and find one of her nerd friends. She didn't want to feel like she didn't belong in another group. Brooke noticed Beatrice had left but didn't go after her because she wasn't sure of where the girl had gone, instead she made her way over to Zoe and Jimmy, Petey there also, with Heidi at her tail.

"Oh my God! Petey, you look so cute!" squeaked Brooke. She hugged her small friend whose eyes widened at the sudden contact and he pushed Brooke away lightly so he could get some air.

"T-thanks," blushed Petey. "You look really cool..."

Petey's eyes trailed over Brooke, not in the way normal boys did but he was admiring her costume. The blonde was wearing a nurse's uniform, a portion of the material was ripped at the stomach to reveal some of Brooke's abs but her skin was covered in blood. Fake blood, of course. The uniform itself was bloody and had dirt on it, a few of the top buttons were undone and just where her breast started the skin looked like it had been chewed up or as if somebody had rammed an object into her flesh. She wore simple white heels which were only a few inches high so she could walk around easily and her hair was put into big, bouncy curls making her hair shorter. Brooke had fake blood smeared in her hair along with other bits of 'gruesome' things and her face had been painted with blood, along with freaky white contact lenses in. She went as a Silent Hill nurse but with her own little twist.

"Aw, thanks Pete. Hey Jimmy... looking snazzy," laughed Brooke. Jimmy went as Freddie Kruger.

Jimmy just shrugged and smiled. "You guys wanna go get a drink?" he asked. They all nodded and headed for the table which had refreshments and such.

Grabbing a few drinks of punch, the group drank and chatted for a bit until Zoe got restless and had dragged Jimmy to the dance floor. They boogied to some underground music.

Brooke bobbed her head up and down to the beat and took a sip from her punch. After throwing her cup in a nearby trash can, she turned her attention towards Petey who was looking down at his feet and took quiet sips of his own drink.

"Hey, Petey? Are you okay?" asked Brooke.

Petey jumped a little and looked at Brooke to give her a reassuring smile. "Yeah... I just haven't been to many parties and it isn't really my thing."

"Aww," cooed Brooke and squeezed Petey's cheek. Petey pulled away but had a smile on his face. "Have you seen Gary?"

"No, he went to play some pranks last time I saw him." replied Petey.

Heidi had tensed when Brooke had mentioned Gary's name. The brunette had seen Gary earlier on that day when she was on her way to Gym and the look he had given her scared her to death. It wasn't that crooked smile or that scary grin Gary had looked at her with, it was a sickening glare. One that was angry. She wasn't sure why he had glared at her when he hardly knew her but it made her speed walk her way to Gym. She had also made a new friend, Mandy Wiles, and the two had gotten on greatly.

"Oh..." there was a little bit of disappointment in Brooke's voice, she wanted to see what Gary had dressed up as. Or just to see him, but she decided it was a bit of both.

"Want to go and dance?" she asked Petey with a cheeky grin on her face.

Petey gulped.

"Um... I'm not so good at dancing..."

"So! It doesn't matter, come on Petey. Please?!" Brooke pouted and made blinkey eyes at Petey in which he sighed and nodded his head.

"Good! Are you coming, Heid?" Brooke looked at Heidi.

"Tch! Yes!" grinned Heidi. She brought up her dress a little so she wouldn't tread on the material and followed Brooke and Petey to the dance floor. Heidi went as a princess.

The three had all danced to some unknown song which more belonged in a nightclub than a disco. Sweat beaded on their foreheads as the lights were facing down on the floor, all smiles and laughs as they danced away. Brooke had to stop for a minute as she felt like she was about to melt under the lights.

"Hang on, I'll go and get us some drinks..."

Petey and Heidi nodded and carried on dancing. Brooke weaved through the other students, knocking into Pinky but the Preppy didn't notice and carried on dancing with Derby. They went as Prince Charming and Cinderella... original.

When the blonde got to the table she grabbed a cup and filled it with punch and downed it quickly then refilled it again. The thought of some idiot spitting into the punch or put a laxative in had crossed her mind but she didn't really care as she was so thirsty.

"You drink like you've crossed the desert, Blondie." came a cocky voice. Gary.

Brooke finished her drink and burped into her hand quietly then poked her tongue out at Gary.

"I was just dancing, it's hot under the lights." she said in a gush.

"Uh huh... nice costume." Gary smirked as his eyes trailed over Brooke's body.

Brooke looked down at herself and shrugged. "Thanks. I was going to go as something else but the costume was too hard to make so this was all I could come up with... you look pretty good yourself, Smith." complimented Brooke.

"Duh!" replied Gary then he smirked some more.

"But I have to say, Blondie, I'm impressed. Most bitches here have came as dumb ass fairies or princesses... At least you had the guts to come as a slutty nurse who had obviously been beaten to death," said Gary nonchalantly.

Brooke's eyes widened at how disturbing that sounded but supposed it was Gary's way of complimenting her so she just said a quiet thanks. As Gary looked out towards the dance floor Brooke couldn't help admire him. He looked... handsome. His costume suited him perfectly.

Gary had gone as some sort of vampire but looked classic instead of the dorky, cartoony way society made vampires today. His 'Hitler' hair had been slicked back and his face looked a little paler than usual. The dark brunette wore red contacts and his fangs dug into his bottom lip a little from where his lips were closed. Gary had worn the same boots he did last year that belonged to his Nazi costume.

"I tried finding you earlier..." Gary broke her train of thought and she looked up at the taller boy.

"When?" asked Brooke.

"Before the party." said Gary. He was still looking forward, his eyes were trained on someone.

"I was getting ready. Do you know how long it takes a girl to get ready for a party?" Brooke giggled and Gary just looked at her from the corner of his eyes and smirked.

Brooke just shrugged playfully and Gary's eyes were back on that someone on the dance floor. She tried looking in the same direction but couldn't tell who he was looking at. Maybe it was Petey? Or Jimmy?

"So are you going to come and dance, Mr. Smith?" she asked.

"Maybe later," replied Gary. He turned around to get some food from the table and Brooke sighed. She made her way back to the dance floor.

As she weaved through the crowd once more, she was suddenly pushed and nearly lost her footing. When Brooke got her balance back she turned around to tell whoever off but came face to face with Johnny, who was grinning from ear to ear.

"Oh, Johnny... it was just you." she said, putting her hand to her forehead to wipe the sweat that was forming on her brow again.

"Yeah, sorry babe. Didn't see ya there."

"It's okay. Where's Lola?" asked Brooke.

"I-I dunno." said Johnny sadly. But the lead Greaser didn't really care all that much right now.

"Oh... well, are you liking the party so far?" she asked, trying to lift his spirits.

"It's a bit o' a bum. Just needs something to liven it up..."

"Oh? Like what?

"Want a drink?" he smirked.

Brooke's head swam as the alcohol Johnny gave her made her feel warm and fuzzy. She had drank three cups of beer with a bit of lime in it but it was still taking affect on her and made her feel happy and slightly hyperactive. Brooke and Johnny had danced together on the dance floor, from a real dancey beat to a slow techno song which got the two dancing close and slowly rubbing their bodies together. Both tipsy to not care.

Brooke felt Johnny's hot breath against her jaw and they held each other while a slow song played. She closed her eyes and shivered at the feeling, she felt Johnny's fingertips run down her sides to her hips, she bit her lip and let the sensation take over her.

They carried on dancing what seemed like forever and Brooke felt Johnny's lips press into her jaw. Her eyes closed again as the older boy was giving little kisses to her pale skin, she was enjoying the feeling but pushed Johnny away gently. The boy looked a little confused and offended somewhat.

"What? Don't you like that?" he asked with a raised eyebrow. Johnny's cheeks were red from the alcohol and how hot the room had become.

"No, it's just that..." Brooke started, she looked into Johnny's eyes and sighed.

"You're a really nice guy, Johnny, but... I don't like you in that way."

"..."

The expression on Johnny's face looked a little hurt but he smiled slightly and patted Brooke on the shoulder.

"It's okay, babe. I understand."

Brooke smiled her appreciation and squeezed Johnny's hand, she walked past him and felt his eyes on her as she walked off the dance floor to get a drink.

The blonde leant against the table after taking a few sips of water from the water cooler and raked her eyes over the dance floor. Brooke couldn't see Johnny anymore but she saw Petey dancing with Zoe and Jimmy as they laughed. There was no sign of Heidi which made her frown.

She shrugged to herself then threw her cup away. So was going to go look for Heidi just in case something happened to her sister. Brooke had to push past a few people to move about in the Gym but managed to get through, many of the students were rather drunk so they paid no attention and just enjoyed themselves.

Brooke stopped in her tracks as she saw Heidi with Ted Thompson, lead Jock and boyfriend to Mandy, huddled in the corner of the Gym. Brooke's pale, blooded eyebrows raised high on her forehead at how close Heidi was to Ted; they were flirting and Ted was whispering something in Heidi's ear which earned him a giggle and a batter of eyelashes. Brooke rolled her eyes at how lame Heidi and Ted were being and walked away to maybe go and find Gary. He said he would dance with her later and now was just the time.

The Brit rubbed at her tired, blood shot eyes and decided that before she went to find Gary she would step outside for some air. The cool night hit Brooke in the face like a slap but it felt so nice to her fevered skin. She breathed in the air and exhaled slowly. Brooke sat down outside the Gym for a little while, silence all around her except for the beats coming from inside the Gym.

She enjoyed the peacefulness until it was broken by a giggle. Then another giggle. Then a hushed whisper. Brooke frowned and got up slowly to follow the source of where the sound came from.

Brooke looked around the corner, spotting two people standing against the side wall of the Gym. She squinted her eyes to try and figure out who was making that very annoying giggle then caught sight of red. It was Christy.

Brooke squinted some more at the person behind Christy. She saw a crooked smile form on the person's mouth and her eyes widened in shock. It was Gary! With Christy! Gary and Christy! Flirting?... WHAT?!

A scowl replaced her shocked face and Brooke walked away from the scene and felt a tightness across her chest. She clutched a hand to her chest to try and calm down her breathing but couldn't help how the short, rugged breaths left her mouth, sounding like she was choking on air. Brooke put her hands up to her mouth and began to walk away from the Gym. She walked hastily until she heard footsteps behind her then a warm hand touched her shoulder.

Brooke spun around of her heel and saw it was Johnny looking slightly worried.

"Brooke, you okay?" asked Johnny. He sounded so concerned it was almost sweet.

Brooke just stared at Johnny, hand still clamped over her mouth and she felt the sting of tears prick her eyes but held them back. She didn't want to cry in front of Johnny.

Johnny stepped closer to Brooke but the blonde pushed him back and turned and made a run for it.

"BROOKE?!" the Greaser shouted after her. He watched as her figure got smaller as she ran further away from him and the Gym.


Brooke clutched at chest and tried to wish away the pang in her heart. She squeezed her eyes shut as she heard the other girls starting to arrive back from the party to their dorm rooms. Earlier she had a shower, getting rid of her make up and the fake blood and lay in bed for what seemed like hours... maybe it was?

Brooke heard the door to the bedroom open and heard the quiet giggling of Heidi and Zoe then heard Beatrice walk in behind them.

"Oh, so that's where she has been!" exclaimed Heidi quietly.

"Yeah! I thought Johnny had taken her back to his room..."

The two girls erupted into a fit of giggles but quietened down after Beatrice told them to shush.

A tear escaped her eye and she bit back a sob. The tears kept on flowing and the pain in her heart swelled at just how much she realised she liked Gary Smith.


A/N: At last I finished this! But I wished it could of been better, my aches and sores are making me irritable so I'm not putting as much effort in as I want to but I really do hope this is alright. I promise next chapter will be even better! Reviews would be swell -smiles-
