Saturday Night:

I laid in bed listening to my IPod.

*BUZZ*

I grabbed my cell phone from my nightstand.

From: Peyton

From: Me

Oh! I forgot about that.

From: Me

From: Peyton

Come on! Haley is going.

From: Me

Really?

From: Peyton

Yeah. She's here with Jake.

From: Me

Okay be there in a few.

I got up and threw my phone on the bed. Opening my closet door I took out a black long sleeved collared shirt and a pair of dark jeans. Once I was done I threw on some cologne and deodorant. With a quick glance at my mirror, I gave a small smile. I definitely looked good tonight.

Grabbing my cell phone I headed downstairs.

"Mom I'm heading out! Call you when I leave!" I shouted as I walked out the door.

Climbing into my car, I connected my IPod to the radio. Love Don't let me go by David Guetta came on.

A big smile crept on my face. Tonight is gonna be fun. Putting my car into gear I flew out of the driveway and out to Rachel's house. Once I found parking I climbed out of the car and walked over inside the house.

"NATHAN!" Two guys shouted as I walked in.

"Sup!" I nodded to them as I headed for the kitchen. I saw a bucket full of ice and various drinks. I pulled out a bottle of beer and popped open the cap. I chugged the bottle down. Then another.

"Nice game!" a small brunette girl smiled at me.

"Thanks."I winked at her.

She smiled at me, as she played with her hair.

"NATHAN SCOTT!" Lucas shouted as he stumbled over to me.

"Lucas!" I nodded.

"Fucking great party huh?" he slurred.

"Sure." I rolled my eyes.

I headed into the big living room where everyone was at. Everyone was standing around and drinking. No one was dancing. What the fuck!

Peyton, Jake, Haley, and Rachel came up to me. Lucas joined in.

"No one's dancing." I commented as I took a sip from my bottle.

"No one likes to be the first one." Rachel replied, chugging her drink down.

I also chugged my bottle. I spotted Brooke in the corner talking with some other girls.

"Fuck that!" I shouted as I headed toward the middle of the room. Just then Pretty Boy Swagg- by Soulja Boy came on.

I moved my hands up in the air as I started dancing. All eyes were on me, but I didn't give a shit. Tonight I was gonna have some fun.

"Go Nathan!" Peyton shouted.

My hips moved along with the slow beat. Rachel jumped in with me and started grinding on me.

Cheers erupted from the entire room. A big smile lit my face, so I grabbed her waist closer to mine. I let the alcohol take it's affect on me. I emptied my head of all thoughts and danced.

Soon other people joined us. Haley grabbed Jakes hand and led them to the middle of the room. I winked at Haley and she laughed.

Rachel's ass pressed up against my groin as she slid down my body. I had to fight a groan from coming out. I held onto her waist, as we moved together. I could feel a pair of eyes staring at me. I glanced up to see Brooke staring at me. I continued staring, as Rachel began to dance more wildly. Brooke took a sip from her drink and left the room. I followed her with my eyes.

"I'm gonna get another drink!" I shouted to Rachel as I backed away from her.

She nodded and kept on dancing. I left the room and walked back to the kitchen area. I grabbed another beer. Brooke sat on the edge of one of the counters. She glanced at me then rolled her eyes. I took a swig of my drink and stared at her.

Tonight she was looking good. She wore a tightly fitted black dress with matching heels. I have to admit she took my breath away. I couldn't help but stare at her. I could feel myself getting aroused. She glanced over at me then looked away again.

"Why don't you take a picture." She stated taking a long sip.

"Maybe I will." I nodded.

She immediately glanced back at me by that comment.

"So what, now you're talking to me?" she stated flatly.

"No. I was just answering your question." I replied.

"I didn't ask a question." She snapped.

I felt a smile across my face.

"My bad then. Won't happen again." I slurred slightly.

She let out a small snort, then hopped off the counter.

"Are you mad at me?" I asked catching her arm.

She yanked back from me.

"What do you think?" she replied irritated.

"I haven't done anything to you." I replied.

She glared at me.

I scratched the back of my head. She looked more pissed. Then she walked outside into the backyard, and slammed the door. I chugged the rest of my beer down. Then I did something I knew I should've never done. Grabbing another beer I followed her outside.

She was outside sitting on a bench. I walked outside standing a couple of feet behind her.

"Get away Nathan!" she replied.

"No!" I answered back as I walked to the front of her. She stood up. Anger filled her beautiful face.

"NATHAN BACK OFF!" she spat.

I walked closer to her, and stood a few inches away from her.

"I can't!" I whispered.

She knitted her eyes together.

"Please. Just leave me alone." Her voice returned softer.

"Why did you say that to me?" I blurted out.

"Say what?" she asked looking into my eyes.

"That I'm not the guy you thought I was." I slurred out.

"Because it's true." She replied, slurring a little.

"Why?" I asked leaning in closer.

"Because." She shrugged.

"Please tell me. I'm sorry I just don't want to ruin things." I mumbled.

"I'll tell you if you tell me why you don't want to be my friend." She slurred.

"Because Lucas. He's my captain. You're his girlfriend." I replied.

"So? What does that have to do with our friendship?" she asked.

"EVERYTHING!" I shouted.

She paused and saw the hurt in my eyes. I quickly looked away so she couldn't see anymore.

"Nathan…" she trailed off.

I turned my back on her and started walking towards Rachel's large pool. I took a seat by the edge of the pool and gazed into the crystal blue water. Brooke took a seat next to me. We didn't speak for a couple of minutes. I guess we were both trying to figure out what to do next.

"Tell me why you said those words to me." I asked in a low tone.

"Because I thought you would've fought for our friendship." She stated. "Then when you just threw in the towel, I knew you weren't the guy I thought you were."

"Does this have anything to do with Rachel?" I blurted out.

She eyed me with a glare.

"Does it?" She asked.

I let out a sigh and threw up my arms in frustration.

"No. She doesn't mean anything to me." I replied.

"Alright. So what about me? Do I mean anything to you?" She blurted out.

I drew a long face. Not out of fear, but out of shock.

"You mean a lot to me Brooke." I replied with hazy eyes.

"Sure as hell doesn't seem like it." She replied.

For some reason I grabbed a hold of her hand. Big mistake.

Huge waves of shock pulsed through the touch. Flames seemed to engulf us. The air seemed to swirl around us with a warm breeze. I stowed my face to show that I felt nothing.

"You know, what you said has been eating at me ever since you said them. How I'm not the guy you thought I was. But I want to prove that to you. Were friends." I slurred on. "I don't want to fight with you."

I could see my words reeling into her head. I don't know if it was the alcohol that was working for me, or maybe she would forgive me.

"I'm sorry." She replied, looking down in the pool.

A sudden urge filled me. A big gush of wind blew at her hair. I reached out and pulled the few strands from her face. I lightly grazed the side of her face. Her warm flesh melted with my touch. Her eyes became wide as I continued brushing against her skin. I could feel my heart speed with anticipation. The yearning to touch her. To taste her. Our eyes locked onto each other. I gracefully touched the side of her chin and let my hand fall to her neck. I could feel her pulse speed beneath my touch. My eyes quickly looked down at her lips. I slowly leaned forward to her, less than a millimeter apart. Her warm breath tickled my face as she started breathing heavily. I could only imagine the softness of her lips…. Then as if pulled from a trance, I quickly began to back away from her. Her eyes became confused once we pulled apart.

"I… just ran out of beer. I'm gonna go get another one." I slurred out and started standing up. But she grabbed a hold of my arm. Triggers of heat burst through my arm. I glanced down at my arm then at her face. She stood staring at me with big eyes. Beams of energy shot through my body. It felt like hot lashing flames brushing against my skin. Then she released my arm. My jaw almost hit the floor with how much electricity burst through my body. My wide eyes grew even larger with shock. She felt it too.

I blanked out and continued walking back inside the house. As soon as I hit the kitchen I grabbed two bottles and yanked them open. My heart pounded in my chest. I inhaled a big breath of cold air, and slowly pushed it out. Haley laughed as she came in.

"NATHAN!" she smiled as she gave me a hug.

"Hey!" I replied wearily.

She gave me a once over look.

"Are you okay?" she asked.

I shook my head.

"Wanna talk?" she asked.

"Yes." I replied. She led me outside to the front of the house. We sat down on the front steps.

"What happened?" she asked taking one of the bottles from me.

"I almost kissed Brooke." I sighed.

She drew up an apprehensive look.

"I thought you said you were staying away from her?"

"I did. But I don't know." I shrugged.

She threw an arm around me and rubbed my back.

"You're in love with her aren't you." She whispered.

I closed my eyes and let the words seep in.

We went silent for a few minutes staring up at the moon.

"So what's going on with you and Jake?" I asked changing the subject.

She laughed.

"I like him." She nodded shaking her head. I bent down and kissed the top of her head.

"Go for it!" I smiled.

She smiled and tucked a strand of hair from her face.

"I've never really dated a guy before." She confessed.

"A girl?" I asked.

She laughed and shoved my arm. "No! I've never had a boyfriend before."

"Really?" I asked.

"Yeah. No one ever seemed interested." She shrugged.

"Well I think he likes you." I nodded.

"You think so?" she asked.

"Totally! Now get back in there." I smiled.

"What about you?" she asked standing up.

"I'll be fine." I smiled.

"Don't worry about Brooke. Things will work out for the best." She smiled then disappeared inside.

I finished my bottle of beer and threw it onto the grass. I shoved my face into my hands. I wanted to scream. I wanted to get angry and hit something. But I couldn't. What would that get me. The fact of the matter is that I'm in love with a girl who has another boyfriend. Story of my life.

I sighed as I glanced up at the lawn. I felt the presence of someone next to me. I glanced up to see Brooke sitting next to me on the bench.

"I'm sorry." She whispered. I looked at her saddened face. Suddenly it all seemed to make sense. Maybe just for tonight things could just be.

"Me too." I repeated.

We both sat in silence as we stared into the night. I smiled as I looked up at the moon. I quickly stood up. I held out my hand for hers.

She looked up at me with questionable eyes.

"Let's dance?" I smiled.

"Outside in the dark?" she asked.

A small smile filled her eyes, as she thought about it.

"Come on!" I nodded.

She grabbed my hand, and I led her to the green lawn. I spun her around and held her close, keeping my hands above her waist. We swayed back and forth underneath the moonlight. Then I spun her around expertly with skill. She laughed as the moonlight filled her face.

"Come Sail away… Come sail away….. Come sail away with me!" I sang out loud.

Brooke laughed as I continued singing.

We spun around faster and faster until we collapsed onto the ground. We laughed as we stared up at the sky. The moon splashed down onto our faces.

"Some party huh?" she laughed out.

"Definitely!" I nodded.
