Chapter 11
Chase couldn't believe what he was hearing. Did Brooke just say that she loved him? He raised his eyebrows in confusion. "You what?" he asked her
"I love you Chase." Brooke replied twirling a hair with her finger.
"I love you too." Chase said with a smiled and walked up to Brooke and kissed her. Brooke put her arms around Chase's neck, and smiled.
Too bad this was a dream, one hot dream though. Chase was shaking Brooke, Brooke had zoned out, but she wasn't sure if she had told him that she loved him yet. Brooke zoned out of her virtual reality, and shook her head. Chase looked at her weirdly. Oh no, she had told him about her feelings and he didn't feel the same way. Brooke looked down and then looked at Chase.
"So?" Chase asked, "What was the other reason?"
Brooke was shocked, she hadn't told him yet. This was a good thing, she didn't just want to blurt it out, and she wanted it to be romantic and well planned out. Brooke hesitated to answer. "I came because um..." Brooke paused as she saw a advertisement for the new Rock Slide amusement park opening that weekend, "That amusement park that you wanted to go to, just opened and i ummm, bought tickets for us tomorrow after you see your dad"
Chase smiled; he was the one that had told Brooke about the amusement park, and told her once it opened, they would be the first ones in. He went to go give her a hug and thanked her for remembering. "I remember everything Chase."
Nathan realized that Rachel was a really fast runner; he actually had to sprint to catch up to her. He ran as quickly as he could and grabbed onto her arm. Rachel looked towards him, her eyes covered in tears. "What are you doing here?"
"Rach, I couldn't just leave you there. You've got the wrong idea, I'm not in love with Haley." Nathan stated.
"You're not?"
"No, she's just one of my best friends, and I care about her very much. I don't want anything to happen to her." Nathan said.
"But …"
"No buts" Nathan said, "Rachel, I have to tell you something."
"What is it?"
He held her hands, and walked her over to the water fountain and they sat on the ledge. He looked her in the eyes and said, "This school year has been really confusing. I mean, it's a new school, new people."
"What are you getting at?"
"Well, I really like you Rachel." Nathan said
Rachel said, "You mean as a friend right?"
Nathan shook his head, "More then that."
Rachel smiled; she felt the same way about Nathan, she just couldn't believe what she was hearing.
"I want us to be together." Nathan said and brought her in his arms and kissed her. Rachel started to feel all tingly inside. Nathan was a really good kisser, probably the best she ever kissed. Rachel pulled away, "But wait when did this all happen?"
"Well…Rach, it's always been you. Since the moment I saw you, I knew I wanted to be the one standing next to you, good times and bad." Nathan said, "But the whole college jerk thing happened, and I wanted to give you space so you could get ov…"
Nathan was interrupted by Rachel's lips touching his. She pulled him in close, and then put her head on his shoulder. Nathan and Rachel both liked each other, nothing or no one was going to keep them from being together.
