This update is a really long chapter so enjoy...
Chapter Twenty: You're my drug!
The weekend had come and gone and Brooke had decided to try and keep a low profile. After her fight with Peyton, cheerleading practice had been a little more awkward than usual but; neither girl had spoken, let alone looked at the other so, there were no chance of a repeat of their "little" cat fight. Brooke had also managed to avoid Mouth all weekend, fearing he would ask her to help him out at Dan's again. However in Tree Hill there was no such thing as keeping a low profile, especially with Tree Hill High's last game coming up in a few months. Dan; being the doting parent he was, had decided to throw another one of his…
"It's like a cocktail party, kinda thing it's at Dan's house" Brooke explained as she brushed her hair in the mirror
"Another party, I'm going to be a busy girl shopping for a new outfit" Rachel replied from under her covers.
"Okay, it's not that kind of party so you might want to tone the slut down and wear something classy" Brooke said turning around briefly to face Rachel.
"So what's the party for anyway?" Rachel asked trying to get out of bed.
"Since when did you need an excuse to party?" Brooke teased
"Ha" Rachel faked laughed
"Ha" Brooke imitated Rachel "It's meant to mark the beginning of the basketball season" Brooke continued.
"So… why is Dan doing it now?"
"No idea, maybe he wants to run for president and sees this as a great opportunity to give us all the bad news" Brooke smiled sarcastically, putting her cell phone in her bag. "I don't even think I'm going to go"
"Not this again" Rachel said lying back down
"It'll probably be really lame…. Look, as much as I'd love to stay and chat… I can't, some of us actually have go to school today so I'll see you there… if you actually make it" Brooke grabbed her bag and headed out the door "Get out of bed!" She called before shutting the front door behind her.

Brooke and Haley, walked down the hall together, both arm in arm. Although Brooke had gone round to see Haley practically everyday when she was recovering from the accident she had still missed having her around at school.
Brooke and Haley were like Brooke and Lucas in the respect that they were opposites. Haley was unpopular, studious, married and a cheerleader not by choice and Brooke was an all round social butterfly, not exactly studious, not married and captain of the cheerleaders completely by choice. Still, a friendship had grown between the two of them, which both valued above all the things that separated them.
"So how's your leg today?" Brooke asked as they reached her locker.
"It's getting there. How's your face?" Haley teased
"And I am never telling you anything…" Brooke said shaking her head
"Oh come on, as if I wouldn't have found out, it seems like the only people not talking about it are you and Peyton"
"Hmm" Brooke said reaching for some books
"How are things with two anyway… have you guys spoken to each other yet?" Haley asked leaning against the locker next to Brooke's.
"Nope" Brooke said shrugging her shoulders
"Well you guys can't leave things like this; I mean we'll be graduating soon…" Haley began
"Look Hales, I love you for trying to sort things out but this fight with me and Peyton, it's been a long time coming and if anyone should be apologising… it's her and the chances of her doing that… lets just say I wouldn't hold my breath" With that Brooke shut her locker as the bell rang "Okay, it's time" Brooke said taking a deep breath
"Time? Time for what?" Haley asked completely confused.
"Results for last week's maths test" Brooke said fiddling with her hair
"You'll be fine" Haley smiled, before reaching out to give Brooke a hug.
"Thanks Hales" Brooke smiled nervously "I'll catch you later" Brooke said before hurrying down the hall towards class.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
"Hey Luke" Peyton called as Lucas turned around
"Hey Peyton" He smiled "Everything okay?"
"Yeah" She smiled "I was just wondering… have you got a minute?"
"Erm… no, I'm on my way to class right now but we can…" Lucas began
"Last night was really fun" Peyton interrupted
"Yeah, it was" Lucas smiled
"I just wanted to talk" Peyton repeated, smiling at him
"Yeah sure" Lucas nodded "How about you meet me after class?"
"Sure, see ya" Peyton smiled once again before heading down the hall.
Lucas quickly hurried to class, surprisingly when he got there, Mr Ward hadn't arrived. He looked round the class, spotting Brooke. She sat there fiddling with her pen; she hadn't noticed him walk in. He smiled to himself walking over to her,
"Hey" He smiled
Brooke looked up at Lucas, slightly relieved he'd come over "Hi" she said taking another deep breath, whilst continuing to fiddle with her pen.
"So… results today?" Lucas said watching Brooke fiddle with her pen
"Hmm, I hadn't thought about it" Brooke said sarcastically.
Lucas smiled, reaching for her pen "You're going to do great"
Brooke looked up at Lucas into his beautiful blue eyes… he was so sure of her. She loved that about him, how he had such faith in her "Thanks" She smiled as Lucas smiled back at her.
"Okay everyone can you take your seats please, hopefully we can start this lesson sometime today" Mr. Ward said as he sat as his desk. Lucas sat down, two seats behind Brooke.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
The bell rang for the end of the lesson. "Make sure, I get your work in by the end of the week everyone. Take your test on the way out… this week's results weren't awful" Mr. Ward smirked
Brooke just rolled her eyes as she got up to collect her paper, trying her best to avoid eye contact with Mr. Ward. She'd had enough of his sarcastic comments for one lesson.
"Brooke Davis…" Mr. Ward began
Brooke just smiled politely, searching for her paper.
"I hope this means you'll start listening in class" He smirked, handing Brooke her paper. Brooke just laughed dryly, making a quick exit.
What the hell does that mean…? I failed, didn't I? Brooke thought to herself Okay, just look at it quickly, maybe it won't be so bad, I mean the juniors seem really nice. Brooke rambled. Okay, here it goes. Brooke started to pull her paper out of the wallet but stopped No, I can't look. She said turning around to see Lucas walk out.
"What did you get?" Brooke asked as Lucas walked towards her
He turned his paper to show her "A-, that's awesome" Brooke smiled.
"Thanks" Lucas smiled" So… what did you get?" he asked
"I haven't looked yet" Brooke said shrugging her shoulders nervously
"Well… what you waiting for?"
Brooke took a deep breath and started to open to pull her paper out of the wallet but stopped again "I can't do it, can you look at it?" Brooke said passing Lucas her paper.
Lucas opened the wallet, looking at her paper.
"Okay, is it good or bad?" Brooke asked
Lucas smiled "It's good… it's really good"
Brooke took a deep breath "Okay, but is it 'Brooke good' or 'Lucas good' because there's a difference"
"Brooke…" Lucas laughed
"Well… which one is it?"
"You got an A+" Lucas smiled, turning her paper to show her
"I did what?" Brooke said grabbing the paper and looking at it intensely "Oh my God!" She laughed jumping up to hug Lucas. Lucas laughed, holding her tight as he whispered in her ear. "I told you, you could do it"
"Oh my God" Brooke beamed, still holding Lucas.
The moment felt so right, him holding her in his arms. Brooke stepped out of the hug, looking up at Lucas. "Thanks Luke, I couldn't have done it without you" She smiled
"I'm really proud of you…" Lucas smiled
Brooke looked up at Lucas. He was proud of her, she loved the way it sounded, he was proud of her. In her perfect world she would have reached up and kissed him and told him, she loved him but it wasn't so instead she smiled and nodded.
"Hey"
Brooke and Lucas turned around to see, Peyton standing behind them.
"Hi" Lucas replied as Brooke looked down, uncomfortably.
"Well done Brooke" Peyton said taking a deep breath, smiling politely.
Brooke looked up at her surprised but grateful "Thanks" she smiled "Look, I…" Brooke began just as Peyton started to speak. Both laughed nervously.
"I'm sorry about Thursday" Brooke said "I honestly didn't mean to hit you first…"
"No, it was my fault, I should have listened to you instead of just jumping to conclusions" Peyton interrupted.
Brooke smiled nodding.
"Do you want me to go and…" Lucas began as both girls interrupted him
"No, it's…" Both laughed awkwardly "It's fine" Brooke said finishing off their sentence "I'll see you guys later" She smiled. "Thanks again Luke" She said patting him on the shoulder before turning around and heading down the hall.
Lucas turned to face Peyton "That meant a lot to her" He smiled
Peyton nodded "Yeah… it did to me too"
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
By the end of the day, most of the school was talking about Dan's formal party tomorrow night. Brooke however, was too consumed in being happy with her results that she hadn't really paid attention to it. Cheerleading practice had gone really well, Brooke and Peyton had been civil, neither shooting each other hateful looks or rolling their eyes as the other one made a comment. Brooke had said hi to Lucas at the end of the day as he went to get changed for practice. They hadn't really talked about Theresa's party or about what her getting really mad about him agreeing to go to the party with Peyton, actually meant.
In all honestly Brooke wasn't ready to admit her feelings for Lucas; she wasn't ready to for what might happen, how things might change. As Brooke told the cheerleaders to call it a night, Whitey told the boys to get there scrawny butts home and come back tomorrow when they were ready to play like they have a chance of winning the championship.
Brooke packed her stuff away in her gym bag.
"Bye Brooke" Most the girls waved as the exited the gym, Brooke looked up to wave goodbye, as she did she saw Mouth loitering outside. This ought to be interesting. Brooke thought to herself as she hurried what she was doing. "Erm... Rachel" Brooke called trying to get draw Rachel's attention away from Dean who she was flirting desperately with.
"Hey Brooke" Lucas said as he walked over to the cheerleaders
"Hey…" Brooke began as Peyton walked up to them.
"Hey Luke" Peyton smiled embarrassedly as she realised that he had come over to speak to Brooke "Oh sorry… I" Peyton said fumbling with her bag
"No… I" Lucas began
"Oh, I should just…" Brooke tried, all of them speaking over one another. There was an awkward silence as none of them knew what to say.
"So…" Lucas began breaking the silence "Are you going to Dan's tomorrow night?" He asked both girls.
Peyton didn't answer, so Brooke assumed the question was just for her "I'm not sure" She said shrugging her shoulder
"You should come" Lucas began
"Yeah…" Peyton smiled shortly, folding her arms as she leaned into Lucas "You should come"
Brooke tried her best to smile politely looking at the 'picture' in front of her "Yeah, well I'll try" She said before trying to get Rachel's attention once again "Rachel?" She called.
Rachel turned around "What?"
"You go ahead; I'll catch you at home"
"Okay but if I take the car how are you going to get home?" Rachel asked. Although she didn't have the most caring of tones Brooke knew she did care.
"Erm…" Brooke thought out loud.
"I'll drive you home Davis" Dean smiled, not trying to hide the fact that he was obviously checking her out.
Lucas titled his head back, trying not to let Dean get to him.
Brooke laughed, completely unimpressed by him "No thanks Dean. I'll see you later Rachel" She smiled, grabbing her bag and walking out the gym.
As she walked out of the school building into the car park, Brooke saw Mouth waiting for her with his bicycle. Brooke looked down at the floor as she slowly walked up to him.
"Hey" Brooke said as she approached Mouth
"Hey" Mouth smiled.
Both Brooke and Mouth began to walk away from the school, neither saying anything. The silence was kind of comforting; considering they had both said there share of things to each other recently.
"I'm sorry about the other day" Mouth spoke, breaking the silence Brooke had actually started to enjoy.
Brooke just nodded.
"I went to Dan's on Saturday…" Mouth continued
Brooke took a deep breath, not trying to hide the fact that she was clearly uncomfortable talking about this, however Mouth didn't notice.
"The writing on the wall… it was still there" Mouth said looking over at Brooke for a reaction, instead she just continued to nod. "So I was thinking I'd go back tomorrow"
Brooke shook her head calmly "Tomorrow's Dan's holding a party at his place so you're going to have to put a hold on your criminal activities for one day" Brooke said, the slight sarcasm apparent in her voice.
Mouth ignored the slight sarcasm and continued to explain "I know that, I'm going… my mom lending me her car and everything…"
"Hold on one second, too many questions to process" Brooke said shaking her head with confusion "Firstly, you're actually going…. I swear the first thing they teach you at criminal school is never to revisit the scene of the crime and secondly not trying to be rude Mouth but isn't the party just for the basketball team…?"
Mouth tried to interrupt "Well, I…"
"And…" Brooke continued "How are you planning on breaking and entering Dan's house when, you and forty other people will be there?" Brooke finished, gesturing to Mouth that he could speak
"Well, I'm the Raven's sports announcer so the guys on the team said, I should go and secondly the party is a great opportunity to do "it". The whole thing is probably going to end around 11pm, most people from school will either go home or ditch Dan's thing for another party somewhere else, Dan will leave to take Karen home or something and the house will be empty"
"Whoa, whoa, whoa… slow down, how do you know that Dan will take Karen home? If anything Lucas will take her home and…"
"Well that's where you come in Brooke?" Mouth began, his eyes beaming
"No, no, no…" Brooke said shaking her head
"All you have to do is make sure Lucas goes home with you that night…"
"Excuse me" Brooke said, completely offended by Mouth's suggestion
"No, no… not in that way, I mean if you guys leave the party early and hang out and stuff" Mouth said, trying to clear up the little misunderstanding
"I'm sorry Mouth but I'm not going to do that. Lying to Lucas is one thing, but distracting him so that his mom can go home with a murderer, completely over-steps the mark"
"Brooke, please…"
"Mouth, I don't even know if I'm even going…" Brooke admitted
"Wait, you have to go" Mouth said simply
"Look, I'm not exactly Dan's favourite person right now so the further away I am from him the better" Brooke said rolling her eyes
"Actually Brooke, staying away might only make things worse for yourself…" Mouth began
Brooke turned to face him interested at the logic Mouth's opinion
"It'll look really suspicious if you don't go, I mean you're captain of the cheerleaders, you're friends with Lucas and Nathan and you've been to every one of the party's Dan has thrown" Mouth explained
"Well that was before the whole car incident" Brooke muttered under her breath
"What?"
"Nothing" Brooke lied "Okay, so you have a point"
"And…?" Mouth asked
Brooke took a deep breath, hoping she wouldn't gravely regret her decision "… I'll go" Brooke said "I'll go"
There was another silence as Brooke began to think about the party "Oh great" Brooke said sarcastically
"What's wrong?" Mouth asked
"I've got to go shopping with Rachel for something to wear"
"I don't get it" Mouth asked confused
"This is Rachel, we're talking about… with her advice, I'll probably end up wearing a mini-skirt and a tank top to this thing" Brooke said titling her head back slightly as she dreaded the thought of Rachel's take on classy.
Mouth laughed as Brooke linked arms with him, laughing at the thought.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
It was 8.30pm and, Brooke and Rachel had just arrived at Dan's house. From what she could tell everyone had already arrived. Brooke shook her head as Rachel fumbled with her skirt as they got out the car. She was now more than ever wishing she had excepted Mouth's offer to give her a lift to Dan's, that way she might have arrived on time which, was half and hour ago and therefore easily avoided drawing attention to herself when they entered the house. Although Brooke wasn't a stranger to attention, tonight she just wanted to blend into the background, avoiding any contact with Dan the whole evening.
"Will you hurry up" Brooke whispered to Rachel as she walked up the steps to Dan's door
"Hang on a second" Rachel said pulling down her skirt
"If you had bought an actual skirt instead of that belt you're wearing then you wouldn't have had that problem" Brooke said rolling her eyes
"Haha…very funny. Just remember that when Dean takes me upstairs tonight and I get my cheer on"
"Did you just say… get my cheer on?"
"Whatever" Rachel smirked, walking up the steps and ringing Dan's doorbell "Just watch and learn"
Brooke laughed dryly before mentally preparing herself for what the evening could possibly have in store.
"Well hello ladies" Dan beamed as he opened the door.
Hmmm, no maid service to open the door, Dan must be trying to cut back this year. Brooke thought to herself.
"I don't believe we've met before, I'm Dan Scott and you are…?" Dan said holding out his hand for Rachel to shake.
"I'm Rachel Gatina, you have a lovely house" Rachel smiled politely as she walked through into the house.
Brooke just rolled her eyes. She hasn't even been two steps inside and she knows it's a lovely house.
Rachel turned around and winked at Brooke before disappearing into the house.
"Rach…" Brooke tried to call after her but Dan was already stepping towards her. Brooke took a deep breath, bracing herself.
"Miss. Davis you're looking exceptionally beautiful today" Dan smirked, placing his arm around Brooke "Come in and say hello to everyone else"
Brooke cringed at the feeling of being this close to Dan, whilst trying her best to smile.
Brooke breathed a huge sigh of relief as Dan removed his arm from around her shoulders and gestured for her to walk in first into the living room.
"Look who's arrived" Dan called over to Karen, as she along with everyone else turned to face Brooke.
Lucas looked up to see Brooke. She was wearing a red dress, with the necklace he'd gotten her for her birthday last year. He remembered how when he'd given it to her, she'd wear it with everything, because he made comment about how she could return it if she didn't like it and she wanted him to know that she loved it.
She looked perfect; Lucas couldn't take his eyes off her. Lucas smiled to himself as he watched her saying hi to everyone. He loved how she could make him feel so incredibly happy by just being the in the same room. Her lips, her eyes, her hair, everything was perfect. What he would give to be able to walk across the room and hold her and be with her. Everyone in the room, everyone talking, everything else had become a blur, all he could hear was his heart beating really fast, and all he could see… was her. Lucas watched her as she walked over to him, unable to take his eyes off her.
"Hey" Brooke smiled
"Hey" Lucas smiled "You look…" Lucas said taking a huge breath, trying not to sound like a complete idiot.
Brooke smiled; she knew what he was trying to say.
"Brooke, hi" Karen smiled, walking over to Brooke and giving her a hug.
"Hi, Karen" Brooke smiled, hugging her tight.
"You look beautiful" Karen said, as Brooke stepped out of the hug.
"Awh, thank you, so do you. How are you both?" Brooke said, placing her hand on Karen's bump.
"We're fine" Karen smiled, as she spotted Deb, looking miserable in the corner of the room. "You know what, I'll be right back, I just need to speak to Deb" Karen smiled stroking Brooke's shoulder, before making her way through into the kitchen.
Mouth walked over to Brooke and Lucas to say hi. Although Lucas was pleased to see Mouth he couldn't help but wish he had time to just be with Brooke. They hadn't properly spoken since Theresa's party and there still so much he wanted to say. Lucas thought about asking Mouth if he and Brooke could have a moment alone but realised there was no chance of that as he spotted Dan walking over to where Mouth, Lucas and Brooke stood, followed by Peyton.
"So Miss Davis, I'd offer you the grand tour but you've already been here… right?" Dan stated as he poured himself a drink.
Brooke's heart nearly skipped a beat as tried to think of a time that she had ever been here when Dan actually knew. Maybe he's talking about when, Luke and I were looking for Karen. Brooke thought to herself as she looked up at Lucas, who shook his head. Lucas obviously hadn't told him about that, so she couldn't admit to that.
"Erm… no actually…" Brooke stuttered "I haven't been here?"
"Oh, my mistake" Dan smiled, even though they could all see past his fake exterior "I just assumed you being Lucas's girlfriend…" Brooke just rolled her eyes, shuffling uncomfortably as she tried to avoid eye contact with Peyton or Lucas. God, she hated it when Dan did that, taking digs at her relationship with Lucas was getting old now.
"I'm going to get a drink" Brooke said, beginning to walk away.
"Here" Dan said pouring her a glass of cranberry juice "We don't want using your 'skills' to convince the gentlemen at the bar to buy you a drink, now do we?" Dan smirked
Both Brooke and Peyton's jaws dropped ever so slightly in disbelief of how openly rude Dan was being, Brooke brushed her hair back trying to hide her embarrassment. Lucas glared at Dan, warning him to back off.
"No offence Miss. Davis" Dan began, as if to correct himself" It's just some of the people here are from very high places and they would be more than keen to help someone in your situation"
"My situation?" Brooke asked, immediately regretting giving Dan an excuse to continue.
Dan smiled briefly, telling Brooke and everyone else that he was going to enjoy this "Your parents, they've just left you here, completely abandoned you… as mayor of Tree Hill, I and my associates would be more than happy to help you with anything you might need. Money, books… clothes"
Brooke laughed dryly, disgusted by how blatantly rude Dan was being, without even the slightest of shame. "You'd know all about complete abandonment" Brooke muttered under her breath.
"I'm sorry, I didn't quite catch that Miss. Davis" Dan smiled, challenging Brooke to repeat what she had just said as held out the juice he had just poured for her.
"She said, you'd know all about abandonment Dan, so why don't you stop pretending and leave us alone…. How about you go an impress, people who actually believe half of the crap that comes out of your mouth" Lucas said stepping forward and taking the drink Dan had just poured and placing it firmly on the table.
Dan continued to look at Brooke before deciding he had obviously over stepped the mark. He coughed quickly, fiddling with his tie, looking briefly around the room, to ensure no one had heard what Lucas had just said. He smiled politely and walked over to the other side of the room.
"Brooke, I'm really sorry…" Lucas began
"It's okay…" Brooke smiled trying to cover up how she was really feeling
"No it's not" Lucas insisted, his anger more than apparent "He thinks he can get away with saying crap like that because he's the mayor of Tree Hill"
"Seriously…" Brooke said stepping towards Lucas; she reached out to stroke his shoulder before realising what she was actually doing and how it must look to Peyton. Brooke automatically stepped back "Dan's an ass" She laughed dryly, trying to lighten the mood. However, no one apart from Mouth looked the slight bit amused, Peyton was back to shooting Brooke gamma rays of hate and Lucas continued to glare angrily over at Dan, watching him as he laughed and joked with the other pretentious people of Tree Hill.
"I'm just going to go to the bathroom" Brooke said excusing herself from what had become a very uncomfortable situation.
Peyton waited for Brooke to leave the room before she began to speak "Well, why don't we play a game of "I Never" come on… it'll be fun. Haley, Nathan" She called them over from the other side of the room.
Both looked at each other worriedly, "This game never ends well" Nathan whispered to Haley, as they slowly walked over to the sofa's, followed by Mouth and Lucas.
Once everyone gathered round with their drinks and Dean had shut the door, so that the adults wouldn't hear. Theresa pulled a bottle of vodka from her bag, shaking it around joyously as Bevin and the other girls cheered, before passing it around the newly formed circle.
Rachel poured; some vodka into her cup "You want some Dean" Rachel smiled turning around to face Dean who stood by the door.
"Nah, it's cool. I'll go on look out" He said leaning against the door.
Peyton added some vodka to her cup, taking a full swig before refilling it with some more vodka
"Wait for the game to start Peyton" Rachel smirked, as everyone else poured some vodka into their cups.
"Seeing as you're so eager… why don't you start" Peyton gestured over to Rachel.
"Okay, fine" Rachel began, clearing her throat "I've never… cheated with my best friend's boyfriend"
"Ooooo" Nearly everyone in the circle knew who that was directed at.
"Rachel, come on" Lucas snapped "That's not fair…"
"Fine" Rachel said, holding up one hand. She briefly looked round the room, catching Brooke's eyes as she walked into the room.
"What's going on?" Brooke asked Dean, who was standing 'guard' at the door.
"They're playing "I Never"" He whispered
Brooke frowned, knowing all to well that the game never ended well "Well, I never want to play that game again so, I'll just hang out here" She smiled leaning against the door.
"It's getting good" Dean smiled gesturing over to Rachel.
"You're right Lucas" Rachel continued "That one was a little too targeted at Peyton… how about, I've never cheated on my significant other, you know boyfriend, girlfriend, husband or wife in your case Nate" Rachel winked over at Nathan who just rolled his eyes.
"Oooo" Theresa smiled as everyone looked at Lucas and Peyton. Lucas titled his head back ever so slightly, regretting opening his mouth in the first place; he glanced over at Brooke who was trying desperately to avoid eye contact with him.
"Well… go on" Rachel persisted
Both Peyton and Lucas took a sip of their drink, followed by Nathan.
Haley turned abruptly to face Nathan, watching him take a sip of his drink "You've cheated?"
"Truth's finally out" Rachel smirked, giving Theresa a high five
"Oh shut up Rachel" Haley snapped
"Yeah, shut up Rachel" Brooke glared at Rachel, warning her not to stir the pot.
"No, I'd never cheated on you… I've never cheated on you baby" Nathan said as he brushed Haley's hair behind her ears "It was… Peyton, I cheated on Peyton" He said turning to face Peyton "Sorry" He smiled sadly.
"Its okay" Peyton nodded, she was in no place to pass judgement.
"Do you want a drink?" Dean whispered to Brooke
"Has it got any alcohol in it?" Brooke joked
Dean smiled, pulling a bottle of vodka from behind the chair.
"Wow, aren't you handy" Brooke smiled "By the way me, excepting this drink is not an invitation to anything else… okay"
"Whatever Brooke, you're totally hitting on me" Dean teased
Brooke laughed out loud "As if"
Lucas looked over at Dean and Brooke. There it was again that jealous feeling, he knew he shouldn't be jealous not when his girlfriend was sitting right next to him, but all he could think about was that jerk making Brooke laugh. He couldn't even concentrate on what everyone else was saying; he just wanted Brooke to be far away as possible from Dean. Lucas shook his head trying to get ride of those thought.
Dean, slowly poured Brooke some alcohol "Thanks" Brooke smiled politely
"Sure" Dean said, as he passed Brooke her drink, deliberately spilling it on her chest
"Oh my God" Brooke said, as she bent down to pick up the cup, he'd just dropped.
Lucas looked over at what was going on in the corner of the room; he could see that as Brooke bent down to pick up a cup, Dean had put a pill in his mouth. Lucas couldn't see exactly what Dean had taken but he knew whatever it was, he had to warn Brooke.
Brooke stood up, looking down at her now wet dress. "Oh" she sighed
"Here" Dean said as he grabbed a towel, reaching over to wipe Brooke's chest.
"God, you don't miss an opportunity" Brooke chuckled "I think I can do it myself" Brooke said rolling her eyes taking the towel from him and leaving the room. Dean took one full swig from the bottle and followed her out the room.
As Lucas tried getting up to follow Brooke, he felt Peyton tug on his arm. "Here's one…I've never felt more ignored by a guy who supposed to be my boyfriend" Peyton said loudly, trying to grab Lucas's attention, which was focused on where Brooke had just left.
"I guess I should drink… right Luke?" Peyton said, reaching for Lucas's arm and turning him to face her as she took a sip of her drink
"Erm… that's not how you play" Bevin smiled
Peyton just rolled her eyes, getting up and walking out the room.
"Awh, don't get upset Peyton. You can still play" Bevin called after Peyton. As everyone looked amongst themselves, Lucas got up walking out the room. Rachel smiled at all the drama, leaning over to Theresa "I wonder who he's going to go after this time" she said loud enough for everyone to hear, as she took another sip of her drink.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Brooke had been, trying to dry her dress with the towel for at least ten minutes now but it still didn't feel dry and, she couldn't exactly take it off. "Rrrr" Brooke threw the towel on the bed giving up. As she sat down on the bed, she looked around the room. She hated to admit it but the room was rather nice. Brooke could hear people laughing down stairs, she honestly didn't want to go back down there and watch everyone play "I Never" while she was stuck talking to Dean.
"Hey" Dean shouted as he burst into the room
"Okay, some one found more alcohol" Brooke laughed, disappointed that Dean of all people had found where she was hiding.
"No… I found you" Dean said, walking closer to Brooke. "I found you" He repeated really slowly as he stared down at Brooke.
Brooke looked up at Dean, his dark black, carefully style hair now looked a complete mess, he looked like he'd just run a marathon. He was sweaty and breathless and is his perfectly tanned skin now went unnoticed in comparison to his red cheeks. Brooke smiled politely, slightly creeped out by him. "I think I'm just going to…" She said beginning to stand up, but as she went to stand up, Dean held her by her shoulders.
"Don't go" He said looking straight at her.
Brooke looked back into his eyes… his pupils were like little dots "You're on something" Brooke said trying to wriggle free.
"No baby, that's you, it's all you… you're my drug!" He said as he began to kiss Brooke's neck
"Dean, stop it, seriously" She said, trying harder to wriggle free "I want to go"
"Shh, baby shh" Dean slurred sliding his hands around her waist.
"Get off me!" Brooke shouted, pushing Dean off her, but he just pulled her forward, gripping her tighter than before. "You're hurting me, get off m…" Brooke couldn't finish her sentence, as Dean stuck his tongue in her mouth, pushing her down onto the bed.
Just then the door burst open….
