I stay up late at night just to write another chapter for you guys, so here's the big CONFRONTATION chapter…lol…so I hope you guys enjoy it. And please REVIEW!! I need more dedicated reviews

Nathan woke up on Monday morning refreshed and ready for the events that his day would endure. He took a shower, brushed his teeth, and refreshed himself. He then put on his favorite cologne, pulled on some basketball warm-ups, and headed to school. He was actually looking exceptionally hot! His hair was askew, but in a cute model kind of way. He was actually looking forward to confronting Brooke today. He figured that he had the upper hand in the whole situation, sense he was perfectly innocent, and he wanted Brooke to get what she deserved.

But Nathan wasn't prepared for the Brooke that he lay eyes on. She was looking extremely sexy. He couldn't take his eyes off of her, as could neither of the guys in the whole school. She looked amazing! He took in her outfit. She was wearing a short jean skirt and a white tank that was a little low-cut and showed off her ample amount of breast. The shirt was very girly and gave her a girl next door kind of look that Nathan had never seen from Brooke. Her hair was also not in its regular straightness. It was curled into cascade curls that put the finishing touches on her look. To top it off, she was wearing a white head band as the cherry to complete her Sunday. He saw her walking towards him, leaving the big crowd of people surrounding her. He quickly shook himself from his state of complete gawking and remembered what he had set out to do and was ready for game play.

Brooke hesitated before talking to Nathan. She had acted as if she was cool and collected but really, she was scared out of her mind. She didn't want to risk being rejected, or worse losing Nathan forever. She really couldn't take him putting her down. His opinion meant so much to her. She finally got up the guts to speak.

"Hey Nate…can we uh…can we talk please", she asked giving him a small smile, her voice barely above a whisper.

Nathan let out an annoyed breath and looked down at the brunette. "What is there to talk about Brooke, actions speak louder than words."

She cringed at his tone. She could already tell that this wasn't going to go well, but she wasn't going to give up.

"You don't understand Nathan. Can we please just talk? I miss talking to you Nathan. That's all I want…" her voice got smaller and smaller as she lost confidence along the way after seeing the way he looked at her.

"I can't believe you would even ask me that Brooke! I don't want to talk to you…EVER!! Just leave me alone...why don't you go to Lucas's, I'm sure he can give you what you want…what you always want" he smirked.

She frowned. "Now what is that suppose to mean Nathan? So now you're going to say that I only want sex…you're really going to stoop that low?"

He just continued to smirk at her. He couldn't bring himself to answer her. Truth be told, this treating Brooke like crap thing was harder than he imagined.

"I'm really sorry if that's what you think of me" Brooke said looking down. "You might not want to talk to me, but I'm going to talk to you. Just hear me out." She took a deep breath. "I'm sorry for hurting you Nate. I love you, don't you ever think that I don't. I'm just confused Nate. I don't know what to do. I can't make excuse and I won't try to but please don't hate me Nathan." She put her hand gently on his arm.

For a moment, Nathan smiled feeling Brooke's hand on him. Then he remembered what she did to him and violently jerked his arm out of her reach.

"Don't touch me Brooke! Don't ever touch me AGAIN!...You know what…your right. You are pretty sorry. Don't waste your apologizes on me…I don't need them. I just can't believe you. Things are never going to be ok with you and me ever again." His voice was rising out of his pure anger. People in the hall were stopping what they were doing to tune in to their action. "I can't associate with you…I don't associate with cheating bitches!" he yelled.

Brooke was in shock. Her worse nightmare happened. Except it was even worse considering the crowd that was now watching it all play out. She stood there for a moment in utter shock. Then she did the only thing that she could think to do, run.

Nathan watched her retreating form. He could hear the basketball players cheering for him in the background. But he felt like crap. It had taken all of his anger to push those hateful words out of his throat. He felt horrible because he knew that he had just made Brooke feel horrible…and that was the last thing he really wanted to do.

&&&&&&&&&&&&&&

The rest of the day was really weird for him. It was as if the tables had changed. With the exception of the basketball team, all the boys that had witnessed the big argument in the hall seemed to feel bad for Brooke and want to hang all over her and cheer her up.

This of course made Nathan furious. He couldn't stand to see boys flirting with her or putting their hands on her. He wanted to kill them. His plan was definitely not going as planned. He just wanted to be the one to hold and comfort Brooke instead of being the reason she needed comforted.

Basketball practice wasn't any better either. Brooke was still feeling horrible, even though she tried her best not to show it. She wanted so desperately just to run into his arms like she always did after a long day of school.

At the end of practice everyone started hitting the showers. Brooke glanced over at Nathan and locked eyes with him. They held there eye contact for a while before Nathan looked away. Her eyes always had a way of melting him into a puddle of emotions. He went into the locker room to shower. Brooke watched his retreating figure as she heard the gym door open. She looked up and was faced with no other than Lucas.

He looked at her, with his meaningful gaze trying desperately to read her. "Can we talk?" he asked sitting on the bleachers and patting a space beside him for Brooke to join him.

She hesitated before succumbing to his wishes and joining him.

He took a deep voice. "I have a lot that I need to tell you. But it's very important that you listen to everything I say Brooke. Don't interrupt me or I may never get the chance again." He stared into her beautiful hazel eyes.

"Ok", was all she said.

He cleared his throat. "Well first of all, I have to let you know that I am so sorry that Nathan had to find out the way that he did. I never wanted that……….but I did want him to find out. I'm falling for you Brooke You're so special to me. I want you to be with me."

Brooke attempted to interrupt.

"No let me finish before you say anything else. Now I've thought about this, over and over and over, so I don't want you to think that this is living in the moment because that's not what is to me. It's so much more. And I don't want to lose my brother over this…but I also don't want to lose you either. And I know you have feelings for me too. I can tell by the way you look at me, or the way you kiss me…." He stated as he walked towards Brooke and closing in the gap between them. "That doesn't want happen to everyone Brooke…." He said placing his hands on her hips. "I just want you to give us a chance, please. I know we would be great together. Plus nothings going on with you and Nathan right now…this could be our only chance to see what could be."

Brooke looked at Lucas, his pleading eyes gazing into her confused ones. Nathan hurt her so much with his hateful words. She wasn't sure he would ever forgive her. Also she liked Lucas. She liked him a lot. She did want to see were they would end up at, if they could be together. But she also didn't want anything serious right now. She was still hurting. Things couldn't really get worse than they already were.

She smiled up at him and quietly whispered ok.

Lucas was so happy, he couldn't contain it. He jumped up in the air and yelped for joy. She giggled.

"Wow, this is the first time I've giggled all day!" she exclaimed.

"See, I'm going to be there for you Brooke. Everything's going to be great!" he let out enveloping her into one of his warm hugs.

She smiled. "But there can't be no strings attached Luke, I'm not ready for all of that just yet…..just don't hurt me ok?" she said looking up from his arms.

He smiled as he leaned down and kissed her. "I could never hurt you" he whispered into the kiss.

"Well isn't this just peachy" Nathan yelled from the doorway of the locker room. He wasn't there the whole time, he just walked in on there heated kiss.

Brooke let out a breath once she realized who it was. "When are you going to grow up Nathan?" she exclaimed clearly fed up with his behavior.

"When you stop being a cheating bitch!" he recoiled.

She was about through with his slanders. "I'm not cheating! You said you never wanted me to touch you again and that things would never be ok between me and you again. I think that hardly means that were still together. I can't make you forgive me and give me another chance, which you clearly you made known is impossible. I don't want to be embarrassed and made a fool of anymore ok!?! You won! Be happy! I give up!" she finished her speech and was on her way out of the gym. She turned back to look at Lucas.

"I'm Sorry Lucas, I'll se you later." She said as she walked out of the gym her steps quick and her hands crossed.

"Great are you happy now! You don't even care that's she's hurting too!" Lucas shouted at his brother.

Nathan looked at him in disbelief. "Don't tell me YOU have the nerve to come over hear and tell me what I'm doing is wrong. You bastard! You ruined my life with your selfish ass! Get out of here before I beat your ass like you deserve!" Nathan yelled back. He hated his brother right now. He ruined his life. Was he actually trying to take Brooke for good now? No way would that ever happen. He wanted revenge on Brooke but at the same time he still loved her very much so. Over his dead body was his brother going to sneak in and take his girl, at least not without a fight.

"Nathan I'm sorry about everything really-"

"Save the apologies. I've heard enough of them from Brooke……She's only with you for the sex you know."

"Nate what is wrong with you, have you lost it that much!...Well she's your lost, I intend to keep her."

"Oh, and how are you going to keep something that's not even yours to begin with", Nathan goaded.

"Well she's going to mind, we're already half way there and I'm not going to let her go once I have her. She's something special. I intend to keep her."

"Like hell you will!" Nathan yelled. "Man get the fuck out of here, I ain't got time for you mess!" He finished.

Lucas looked at his brother one more time before respecting his orders and leaving. Things had gone a little further than he had planned. But they hadn't gone far enough for Nathan. He would have loved nothing more than to beat his brother's ass right then and there, but he held back.

Nathan would be damned if he let his brother take away the love of his life. Sure he pissed at Brooke, but he was even more pissed at his brother. How could he do this to him? One thing is for sure, he was through with the pay back games. He was going to win back the girl that he loved. "Lucas would never know what hit him" he thought.
