Hey everyone. Sorry about the wait but now that it's summer I can update a lot more frequently and trust me I have a lot of ideas for the story!! I want to thank everyone who reviewed it means so much!! Tamarindo, Brathan 23, Pembroker, Rachtree and Summer Van Der Woodsen!! Haha I love the new penname! Also the song in the last chapter was In Love With A Girl by Gavin DeGraw. Enjoy the chapter!!
I felt good for once. She always had that affect on me. It also scared the hell out of me because of my secret. I shook my head I couldn't tell her yet I would not let anything happen to her.
I'm in love with a girl (I'm in love with a girl)
Who knows me better
Wants to make love when I wanna fight
now someone understand me
Everywhere I went people stared and it was starting to get really annoying. I get it we live in a small town and all so when something like the star basketball player and the head cheerleader get together its all anyone talks about but come on you would think that they would get bored eventually. I was changing though so I didn't soak it up and act all cocky because everyone was talking about me I just ignored and concentrated on something else.
Broken this fragile thing now
And I can't, I can't pick up the pieces
Finally lunch rolled around and I purposely took a little longer to get there and I saw Brooke waiting for me outside the cafeteria. She smiled when she saw me and I smiled back.
"Are you ready to show the world the new power couple of the school?" She said jokingly.
"Yes I am. Who knew that all of the teen movie clichés would ever actually happen and yet it doesn't feel all that cheesy and cliché does it?" I said grinning like an idiot but I didn't care I was happy for once in my life and I was going to enjoy it.
She laughed at me. "True but hey we are by far the best looking cliché couple in the world." She said grinning like I was.
"Oh of course we win by far." I said right before capturing her lips quickly and pulling away.
And I've thrown my words all around
but I can't, I can't give you a reason
"So really are you ready to do this because its all people are talking about." She asked as she grabbed my hand.
"I'm ready if you are." I said smiling down at her.
"I am so lets go Scott we have people to entertain." She said playfully and I brought her hand up to my lips and kissed it softly.
Then we opened the doors and it really was like a scene out of a movie. We walked in holding hands and smiling. Everyone stopped to look at us. A lot of girls glared at Brooke and a lot of guys looked at me in envy. I thought it was pretty hilarious and I think Brooke did too.
I feel so broken up (so broken up)
And I give up (I give up)
I just want to tell you so you know
We stopped in front of her table and I looked over to where I usually sit with the guys and nodded. They understood I wanted to sit with Brooke today. She turned to her friends smiling like crazy and to my surprise most of them were smiling back at her except Theresa and I was extremely pissed off at her for saying all of that shit that I never actually said about Brooke so I ignored her and so did Brooke.
"Hey guys I am going to sit with Nathan today so you know try not to miss me too much." She said teasing.
"We'll try Brooke but I don't know how we will survive." Lucas' best friend said sarcastically.
"Funny tutor girl but have you met Nathan officially?" She looked in between us.
"We met this morning actually when I was looking for Lucas and I found him in the library with her nice to see you again Haley." I said relieved that I remembered her name. She nodded grinning a little I think she was getting a new impression of me than what everyone else thought and maybe she could still tutor me I have to ask Lucas later if he asked her yet.
"By the way do you still need a tutor?" She asked completely reading my mind.
"Yeah I do in math." I said honestly.
"Lucas told me earlier before you came in and I'd be happy to help you out until you're caught up from when you were in the hospital." She said nicely.
"Thanks that would be great I really suck in math." I said smirking slightly and Bevin laughed at me Theresa looked pissed off but I didn't care she was the dumb slut not Brooke.
"No problem I know Lucas missed you out on the court while you were gone and I'd hate that you wouldn't be able to play the rest of the season with him because of one class." She shrugged. I kind of liked this girl she was simple I could see why she and Lucas were best friends.
"Thanks again and I'll thank him later for bringing it up to you." I said. This was weird I had never spoken to this girl before and now she was going to be forced to talk to me while she tutored. I hope Brooke wouldn't get mad or jealous because a girl was tutoring me.
That was the last thing we needed to worry about with our relationship. 'Relationship' I thought over and over. I'm in a relationship with Brooke Davis. I got a huge smile on my face.
"What's with the big grin Nathan?" Peyton asked amused.
I shrugged nonchalantly "Nothing much Peyton I was just thinking about how to ask my new girlfriend here out on our first date and since you're her best friend I figured I should ask you." I said still smiling huge. Peyton got a smile on her face, which was rare if you really knew her. Although since she and Lucas have been together you can tell they are both a lot happier. I looked down at Brooke who had an ever-bigger smile on her face.
Here I go, scream my lungs out and try to get to you
You are my only one
I let go, there's just no one that gets me like you do
You are my only, my only one
"Well are you going to stand there all day and plan or are you going to ask me out on the date Scott?" She asked me happily.
"Brooke Davis will you do me the honor of going on a date with me tomorrow night?" I asked her formally right in front of her friends. She squeezed my hand and nodded before jumping into my arms and kissing me.
"I'd love to Nathan Scott." She said excitedly as she put her feet back on the floor.
"It's all settled now I have to plan something." I said laughing while all the girls did too. They had the 'aww' face on and I just grinned at all of them.
Made my mistakes, let you down
and I can't, I can't hold on for too long
"Alright come on boyfriend lets go sit down for the rest of lunch so we can plan the date." She said as she dragged me away winking at her friends.
"Get some B. Davis!" Peyton cheered laughing.
"Oh believe me I have P. Sawyer!" She said laughing as she smacked my ass. I started laughing at her bluntness with her best friend I knew it was only a matter of time before Brooke told Peyton all the details of our relationship.
We sat across from each other still smiling huge. I swear I had never felt this way before and I was really starting to like it.
Ran my whole life in the ground
and I can't, I can't get up when you're gone
"So Scott nice way to try to be smooth by asking me out in front of all my best friends eww except Theresa because she is a slutty bitch." She said.
I nodded in agreement. "I know that the other day when I kissed you it all ended badly." I paused for a second remembering how hurt I was when she told me she wanted nothing do with me and when I saw the tears pouring out of her eyes as she drove away.
"I swear to you I never said what she said. I could never just sleep with you and leave even though we both know I have done that before I promise to never do that to you. Especially after all you have done for me over the past day it meant a lot the way you took care of me last night." I said seriously. I really appreciated her helping me.
"Of course and I really freaked out when I heard her say that to Bevin but I just didn't want to be another one of your legendary one night stands you know?" She said honestly as she grabbed my hands with hers.
"I understand and you won't just be a one night stand regardless of what I have said in the past." I looked down guilty remembering the time at the river court and in the schoolyard. I was such an ass to her.
"Hey don't worry about it. I mean it really hurt when you said it, but we were fighting and it was the heat of the moment." She said but the way she said it there was more she wasn't telling me.
"What is it?" I asked trying to see if she would tell me. I think by now even though we haven't officially been together for even a whole day we were past the awkward never knowing what to say and trusting each other phase. With the one exception of Dan.
"No its nothing." She brushed it off, but she couldn't look at me in the face so I knew there was something else. I took one of my hands out of hers and lifted up her chin so she would look at me.
And something's breaking up (breaking up)
I feel like giving up (like giving up)
I won't walk out until you know
"Come on you know you can tell me anything." I said and I meant it I wanted her to be honest with me. It makes me a hypocrite a little but our situation was different.
"It's just when we fought you looked…I mean your eyes would change and I don't know you were always so cold and distant I hadn't seen anything like that before." She finished quietly.
I felt so guilty and she was right I looked exactly like that because that was how I felt. It was killing me keeping this from her but she could get hurt and I refused to let that happen.
I wasn't sure what to say after that and this wasn't the place to have a heated discussion about that.
"I'm sorry if I scared you. I know you probably have a lot of questions but its hard Brooke there's a lot that you don't know. -" She cut me off.
"I would if you would tell me I don't know why you feel like you can't talk to me about whatever it is that your upset about or going through I can help you." She insisted sincerely.
I sighed I didn't want to have this talk with her right now.
"Brooke I'm sorry but I can't talk about this right now its not the right time or place and its nothing that you should worry about but please know that I'm fine and all I want to think about is you and our date tomorrow." I said with a smile at the end.
She smiled a little too. "Okay I won't make you talk about it now but I will sometime I want you to be able to trust me."
"I do don't worry I wouldn't have gone to your house last night if I didn't trust you its just…complicated but I'm fine so you don't have to worry." I said reassuringly trying to get her to stop worrying and forget about it.
"I can't not worry about you but I'll let it go for now because I need to know what time your picking me up for the date." She said letting it slide.
I sighed in relief I knew getting her involved was a bad idea she didn't need this in her life.
"I was thinking about an hour after the game tomorrow." I said getting excited and anxious thinking about it.
Here I go, scream my lungs out and try to get to you
You are my only one
I let go, there's just no one who gets me like you do
You are my only, my only one
"Only an hour to get ready that might be a problem." She said seriously.
"Come on you don't need that long besides you look amazing in everything you wear so you don't need to dress up or go overboard for it just wear what makes you comfortable." I said grinning leaning forward towards her not even meaning to. I swear I'm just drawn to her without option.
She smiled and blushed lightly. "That's so sweet but I still think I need some time to get ready."
"Fine I'll come to your house an hour after the game and if you're not ready I'll just wait for you until you are." I said.
"Okay I can do that." She said leaning closer to me.
"Good then its settled." I whispered because we were so close to each other now.
"Uh huh." She said as she looked at my lips as I did hers. I leaned in and right as we were about to kiss the bell rang and it startled us apart.
"Saved by the bell I guess." I said starting to pull away but she grabbed my arm and pulled me into her so our lips touched.
She kissed me passionately and I pulled away after a minute with a huge smile.
"Not saved by the bell." She said smiling as she got up and took my hand again as we walked to our next class
Here I go so dishonestly
leave a note for you my only one
When I walked into the locker room the boys actually started clapping. I rolled my eyes and went to my locker but I could not keep the smile off of my face.
"Someone is in a good mood." Lucas observed from his locker.
"I am." I said agreeing and nodding as I changed.
"So who knew a girl could make Nathan Scott so happy." He joked as he came up to me.
"I know its crazy but I could say the exact same for you." I said turning towards him.
"True and think how awkward it would have been if we hadn't started getting along and our girlfriends are best friends. We would be forced into uncomfortable double dates and it would suck." He said thoughtfully.
"That is true thank god we finally came to our senses." I said laughing with him as we walked onto the court.
I saw Brooke and she winked at me I winked back. I looked and Lucas was giving Peyton that love look he always does and she was smiling back.
"So I heard you asked Brooke out in front of all her friends Peyton said it was even cute and a little romantic." He said as we both grabbed basketballs to start warming up.
"Yeah it was kind of a quick decision but it worked out she said yes." I said as we got in line.
"That's cool do you know where you're taking her?" He asked but before I could answer it was my turn and I did a lay up. It hurt like hell but I tried my hardest not to let it show. Unfortunately Lucas saw and right after he did his he came up to me.
"Hey man are you sure you're alright enough to do this?" He asked concerned.
"I'm fine." I replied automatically.
He looked at me for a second, "If you're sure but you know what I said earlier."
"I appreciate that but I really am fine just sore I'll be okay." I said convincingly.
"I hope you're right we really need you so try not to get hurt out here." He said kindly.
"Thanks and I'll be careful I promise and to answer your earlier question I don't know yet where to take her but I'll figure something out." I said hoping I did.
"She seems really into you so whatever you choose I'm sure she'll like it." He said as we got back in line.
"I'm into her a lot too so I hope she has a good time." I said a little paranoid that she wouldn't. This is the first time ever I have had to worry about a girl breaking up with me and it wasn't just any girl. It was Brooke, my Brooke I couldn't screw this up.
And I know you can see right through me
so let me go and you will find someone
The next day was the game and I was so freaking ready to play so all day I couldn't stop smiling because I knew this would end up being a good day no matter what.
"Hey are you ready for your big comeback superstar?" Lucas asked as we walked to the gym for the game.
"I am I can't wait for the spot light to be back on me instead of you." I said punching his shoulder lightly smirking.
"Uh huh in your dreams no matter if you're here or not the spot light is always on me little brother." He said laughing and emphasizing little.
"Okay so 3 months big deal I could take you." I said fake punching his face.
"Oh yeah I don't think so." He said as he did the same and we kept at that for a few minutes fake fighting and having fun completely unaware that everyone was looking at us and wondering what the hell we were doing.
"Scotts quit playing tag or whatever it is your doing and come get ready for the game." Whitey ordered us. We looked at each other grinning identically and walked over to him.
We had finished warming up and my insides were all over the place. First my ribs were killing me but I wasn't going to let that get in the way. Before I came I took a lot of Advil and I figured it couldn't hurt even though those weren't as strong as the prescription it was something. Second it was my first game back but practice yesterday went really well so I was thinking it would be okay. And third I was freaking nervous for my date with Brooke.
I have been on a million dates but it has never mattered before and I didn't want to mess up or ruin it for her. I felt a tap on my shoulder.
Here I go, scream my lungs out and try to get to you
You are my only one
I let go, there's just no one, no one like you
You are my only, my only one
"Hey Scott score a basket for me." She said as she kissed my cheek.
"Will do Davis how about I win the game for you also?" I said as I leaned down to kiss her.
"Mhm that sounds good too." She said smiling.
"Alright I gotta go I'll see you after the game." I said and went out to the center of the court.
My only one
My only one
We easily won between Lucas and me we were unstoppable.
"Whew that was fucking amazing!" Lucas clapped my shoulder enthusiastically after the game in the locker room.
"I know man we kicked ass!" I said just as enthusiastically and did the guy handshake hug thing with him.
Whitey gave us his usual after game speech and told us he was proud of our hard work and undefeated record. After he pulled Lucas and me aside and thanked us for getting along and playing so well together. It really wasn't a problem for us since we love playing and just happen to play awesome together.
I only talked to Brooke for a few minutes after the game because I had to go home and get ready but she gave me a nice long kiss for winning the game and scoring as many points as I did. I couldn't wait to pick her up later. After one more long hug and kiss I let her go home and I walked to my car. But little did I know someone was watching me with her and had also seen me messing around with Lucas before the game and this person was not happy at all and didn't want to wait long to tell me about it.
My only one
you are my only, my only one
