So here's chapter 10. I hope you enjoy it.
I want you
I walked down the corridor of tree hill high with my head held high and talking no one which included everyone in that gym. I saw Nathan standing at his locker talking to Tim. Nathan looked up at me and I caught his gaze. I went to look away, but I couldn't for a few minutes and then I got to my locker, I put the combination in and opened it.
"Hey" I turned to see Haley and Peyton standing beside me
"I'm not talking to you" I stated "Both of you"
"We know, but we wanted to see if you were okay. Since I didn't see you this morning and stuff" Haley said
"I'm fine, could be better if nobody kept secrets from me, but we live in Tree Hill and this is the small town full of secrets" I replied
"Brooke please" Haley pleaded
"I need to get to class" I shut my locker, then walked pass them to English.
I got to geography and sat in my seat in front Nathan. No one was in the class yet expect me. I had about 5 minutes before everyone will turn up so I decided to take out my pink fluffy pen and note book and doddle a little. I then heard people coming into class, so I turned to a fresh page in my note book and waited for the teacher to arrive. That's when I saw Nathan walk in, he smiled at me and I looked away. He walked pass me and to his seat behind me. Lucas walked the other way and sat in his seat and then Haley sat next to Felix like last time and Peyton next to Lucas. The teacher hadn't arrived so the class was loud a little. I just sat there waiting for the teacher when I saw a blue piece of paper fall on my desk. I turned to Nathan and he smiled motioning for me to open it, so I turned back around and read it.
Brooke please talk to me. I miss you even if it has only been 17 hours since we haven't spoken. Hazel means nothing to me. She was just a hook up. I want you.
I couldn't help, but smile at the last part. He wanted me and I wanted him, but it was the not telling me part that I was mad at. I tore a pink piece of paper out of my note book and scribbled on it, then turning and throwing it on Nathan's table.
I miss you too, but you kept it from me and made me look like an idiot Nathan and that's the thing I'm mad at. Just remember I haven't lied or kept anything from you and if this relationship is going to work then we need to be honest with each other. Fine I'll talk to you in the gym at lunch time.
Nathan smiled and then I saw another blue piece of paper on my desk and opened it.
Thank you. See you then.
Then Mrs Hopkins walked in and everyone went quite.
It was lunch time. The day had gone quickly and I had to find Lucas to reschedule our project. I got to my locker and opened it. I didn't know if talking to Nathan was a good idea, but he was my boyfriend well kind of and I had to try at least. I went to turn around when I saw Lucas stop at my locker.
"I got your message Brooke, you wanted to talk?" He smiled at me.
"Yeah Erm... Luke I'm gonna have to take a rain check on the project as Nathan wants to talk to me" I told Lucas
"Okay well we'll sort something out later" Lucas suggested
"Yeah okay. Talk to you then" Lucas nodded then walked away.
I went to the gym after I talked to Lucas like I said I would. I walked in and Nathan wasn't there yet. I sat on the bleachers and waited for him to arrive. He was late and that shocked me, was he even gonna turn up then the double doors opened and in he walked. I shot up my head up and saw him look at me. I stood up and walked towards him not saying anything.
"You came" He spoke first
I nodded "I got here before you did"
"I know and I'm sorry Brooke. I had to see Coach before I came" Nathan explained
"Don't worry about it. What did you want anyway?" I folded my arms over my chest
"You Brooke. I want you and this is just stupid Hazel means nothing and that's how it's gonna stay" Nathan walked closer to me.
"Nathan you should have told me" I looked away from him.
"Brooke please" Nathan pleaded
"Who else Nathan" I turned my face and looked at him again.
"What?" Nathan questioned
"Who else have you slept with on my squad?" Nathan looked at me and I raised my eye brow.
"Brooke" He said my name like he was hiding something.
It must be bad if he didn't want to tell me "No tell me" I wanted to know.
"I don't want to lose you" Nathan sighed
"Tell me and you won't" I pushed
"Fine" He huffed "Peyton"
"Yeah you and her dated Nathan of course you slept with her" I replied "That doesn't count since we didn't like you then"
"No after that" The truth was coming out now "When her and Lucas broke up and had that fight"
I stood there looking up at him "After you hooked up with Hazel"
He nodded and I shook my head. I couldn't believe it "Excuse me" I tried to swallow the massive lump that appeared in my throat.
"It was stupid and we both regret it, but we were both alone and she was just so beat up about her and Lucas breaking up and it just happened. We were drunk Brooke" Nathan explained, I just stood there not knowing what to do or say.
"But she cheated with Jake" I finally got out "Luke saw them"
"Yeah she did, but that was after we slept together the first time they broke up, but she came on to me Brooke and I just didn't say no" Nathan told me
"She came onto you, but I kissed you before Lucas told me about him and Peyton breaking up" I was a little confused right now.
"Yeah I know, but this was after they had that fight when Lucas found out about me and you being locked in school together and he didn't like it and kept going on about it. That's when they broke up and Peyton and I hooked up Brooke" Nathan assured me.
"Wait I need to get my head around this that was at the beach party" I stepped back and paced the gym "So you're telling me that you slept with my former bestfriend knowing I liked you?" I stopped and looked at him "After you followed me down the beach and we had that argument and I walked off"
Nathan nodded "Brooke it's not like that. I was just trying to get pass the whole us thing and then you was really angry and you said I was the biggest heartbreaker of this school and that hurt a lot Brooke, so I saw Peyton and she was feeling down because they had the argument and then we were both drunk" Nathan said really fast.
"I can't believe this" I was shocked and I didn't know what to do "And I came here to apologise and make up, but I guess I was wrong thinking I could"
"No Brooke please don't say that. We can get through this. I know we can" Nathan begged.
"She was the one to tell me you actually like me; she was the one that nudged me under the table telling me you were there. She encouraged me to date you knowing all along that she slept with you. She knew I liked you, how could she do that. Yeah she did it with Lucas, but I thought we got pass that. I guess not. That bitch" I was talking more to me, but I said all that out loud.
"We weren't together baby" Nathan said pulling me into him. I wanted to just collapse in his arms and let him hold me, I nearly did. I was just too tired of fighting, but I had to fight because he hurt me.
I pulled away and looked up at him "No we weren't Nate and I guess that was okay for you to sleep with her. It doesn't matter that I was falling for you or that I liked you more than anything at that moment and you knew that because I told you a bunch of times and you pushed me away" I walked back and turned around walking to the double doors I came through about 20 minutes ago.
"Brooke where you going?" Nathan asked
"To find that bitch that hurt me yet again" I shouted back. Nathan followed me trying to stop me from finding her. The blond curly backstabbing slutty bitch. Peyton.
I walked out of the gym and towards the lockers. I circled on the spot looking down the corridors trying to find that bitch I once called my friend. I then realise maybe she's outside. I begin to walk towards the quad when I feel Nathan grab my arm.
"Let go off me" I pulled from his grasp
"Don't go all Kelly Kelly on her Brooke. It was a onetime thing and it meant nothing" Nathan tried to stop me.
"What about us Nate?" I asked "What were we? Because I thought we were dating"
"We are dating Brooke" Nathan answered "I'm falling hard for you Brooke Davis, I'm falling I haven't fallen before just for you, no one else, but you" He leaned in and kissed me. I wanted to pull away, but I couldn't. His smell pulled me in closer. I was falling badly for this guy and I just couldn't let him go.
I finally pulled away coming up for air "Promise me something"
"Anything" Nathan nodded
"Don't lie to me or keep secrets I want this relationship to be based on truth and honesty" I told him.
"I promise baby" Nathan assured me then sealed it with a kiss
I haven't spoken to Haley since yesterday and I was not planning to either. She never told me about Hazel and Nathan when she should. She is meant to be my bestfriend and she kept it away from me. Yeah Nathan didn't tell me either and maybe yeah were back together, but I think I'm falling in love with him. I don't want to say it out loud because that way it's true and it can hurt me. I wanted to talk to Haley. It was still lunch time and I was in the gym for a emergency cheer practice since what happened last time. Then the guys ran in and I didn't realise they were practicing to, but it was all okay now.
Nathan was the last in, he looked at me and I could feel his eyes on me so I turned around and smiled at him. He winked at me and I turned back to my squad.
"Brooke" I heard my name being called. It was Haley.
"Yeah" I responded
"I'm sorry" She apologised again
"Its okay" I replied "It's passed now. Don't worry about it. Really"
"So we friends still. Best friends" I nodded
"Of course" I smiled at her "Bestfriend always and forever" She then hugged me
I then saw Peyton talking to Bevin and Rachel. I could see them smiling and hear them laughing. I just couldn't get the thought of her and Nathan together. Yeah I know they dated and that was different because I was dating Lucas at the time, but this time I liked Nathan and she knew that even if we weren't talking. I stomped up to her even though Nathan and I are okay, but I just couldn't get it out of my head and the feeling of seeing them together in my head. I tapped her on the shoulder and she turned to look at me.
"Hey Brooke" She smiled
I looked stern "Don't hello me you little bitch" I spat at her "And to think I gave you a second chance because I missed you"
"Brooke what's wrong?" Peyton asked confused
"You're the problem just like last time" I replied
"Brooke I don't know what you're talking about" Peyton stood there with a bedazzled look on her face.
"You knew I liked him Peyt, even if we weren't friends. You still knew" I answered looking at my boyfriend as my voice raise slightly and I saw Nathan looking at us.
"Brooke please don't. Everyone's looking" Peyton finally catched on to what I was saying. I looked back at her "No one was supposed to know. It was a drunken mistake"
"Yeah so I was told. Yeah Nathan and I are okay, but I just can't get it out of my head. You just like hurting everyone close to you or is it just me?" I questioned "I helped you through everything and you sleep with Lucas when he was mine and I forgave you for it because I missed you so much and then you act like my friend even though you knew what you did. I hugged you and confided in you in the gym and you pushed me towards letting him in and I did and then I find out this"
Everyone was looking at us including Lucas and even though I should out this bitch and tell everyone. I thought otherwise. Nathan and I were good, but Peyton can fuck off only because this is the second time she has done it to me and plus she was meant to be my friend and bestfriend once upon a time. I could hear my squad mumbling things to each other, but I just looked at Peyton.
"Brooke I'm sorry" Peyton whispered not wanting anyone to hear, but it was too late.
"Just don't talk to me again Peyton" I kept both eyes on her "I'm done with you and the shit you continually do" I looked from her and walked back other to Haley. Peyton looked at everyone and then pushed it aside and started talking to Bevin and Rachel again.
I didn't stop to talking to anyone after I let everyone go from practice. I didn't look or talk directly to Peyton after I confronted her and I wasn't planning on talking to her anytime soon unless I have to and it's important. She slept with him knowing I liked him and she was meant to be my friend and I loved and missed her as my friend, but I gave her a second chance and I'm not doing it again. I think I'm in love with Nathan and that's why I'm with him. I just can't get Nathan and Peyton sleeping together out of my bloody head and it was getting on my nerves. Then I heard my name being called and I wish it wasn't because I just wanted to go home and lay on my bed in my room by myself.
"Brooke" Nathan called "Baby wait up" I stopped and turned to him.
"What Nathan?" I wasn't in the mood.
"What was that?" He questioned "Why'd you attack her like that?"
"Why did I attack her? It's not like I told everyone what a lying backstabbing two-face slutty bitch she really is" I couldn't believe he was defending her "Why are you defending her?"
"Brooke it was a mistake and I've told you that, but you didn't have to attack her like that in front of everyone" Nathan responded "It's not fair"
I shook my head looking way from him, sighing and then looking back at him "Oh it wasn't fair huh?" I couldn't believe this "But it's okay that she made a move on you and slept with you knowing I liked you huh Nathan?"
"I get that Brooke I do, but it's not all her fault. It's not like I said no" Nathan reminded me.
"Yeah thanks for the reminder Nate. I really appreciate that" I looked at him with a stern look "Yeah I know it takes two to tango and maybe I should just dump you and be done with it"
"Brooke I'm sorry and I shouldn't have said that. I don't want to lose you" Nathan stepped closer to me and I glared at him.
"You're defending her Nathan. The bitch who took Lucas way from me then slept with you. She's the one who ripped my heart out. She's the slut that goes round thinking and showing everyone that fake smile and she's the one who pushed me into kissing you in the quad that time at lunch knowing what you and she had done. I was so happy Nathan. I could have coped with you just fucking Hazel, but Peyton Nathan that is a chapter that has just opened up in my life yet again and I don't know how much more I can take. You promised me no more lies Nathan and then you tell me this" I throw my hands in the air not knowing what to do.
"Brooke please don't leave me?" Nathan begged. I could see it in his eyes. I could see how scared he was and how much he wanted me. I want him too. I don't want to lose him. I know I can forgive him for this, but I cannot and will not give Peyton another chance. I love him. OMG I love him. I love Nathan Royal Scott.
"I can't leave you Nathan. No matter how much I try. I can't leave you because you complete me. You make me happy and you don't even have to do anything, for me just to know I have you makes me happy, but Nathan I'm sorry I have to leave you, I have to try" Nathan looked at me and a tear fell down his face. I turned around and walked to the lunch hall and that was me and Nathan over.
I hope you like the chapter. Please review and let me know what you think. Thanks xx
