Always Loved chapter 25
"Jeez, what's with all the darkness here?" Nathan asks walking inside the darker room of his best friend. He walked toward the curtains and pulled them open "Brooke!" he shouts.
"Whoa!" the brunette roll out bed and straight on the hard wood floor "Ouch!" she cry out.
"Oops" Nathan said running toward the girl then burst out in laughter at the sight of the girl landing on the floor.
Brooke sat up and glared up at the boy "Help me up!" she demanded as he reached his hand out for her, the brunette caught it and tried to pull herself up only to have Nathan let go and she went back down.
Nathan laughed loudly "Ah, sorry Brooke I couldn't help it" he said between laughter and scold at him "I'm sorry, here let me help you up" he reach his hand out but Brooke swat it away.
"Your mean Nathan Scott" she pouts, picking herself up from the floor then seating on her bed.
He finally stopped laughing and sat down next to her "So what's up?" he asked and Brooke shrug "Oh come on Brooke, you haven't been at school for tow days and you said nothing" he said in a no nonsense voice.
Brooke sighs before running her hand through her hair "I um, uh I kind of kissed Haley" Brooke said.
Nathan nods for a minutes "So you decided to avoid her by not turning up at school?" he asked staring at her instantly.
"Well yeah, what I am suppose to do?" she asked pacing the floor of her room.
"Well for once you can talk to her about it instead of avoiding it" he said as if it was the most obvious thing. "Can I ask you something?" he said after a minute.
"Yeah, sure" Brooke said stopping her pacing.
"Why did you kiss her?" he asked interested.
"I-I don't know" she shrug thoughtfully.
"Are you sure?" he ask her "You can't just kiss someone without a reason Brooke, people kiss other because they wanted to, others they just felt like doing so while others were just caught in the moment" he explain "Which one are you?" he questions as Brooke stared in thoughts "Get ready, I'll wait for you downstairs" and with that he walked out the room.
Brooke sat in thought to what Nathan had said, why exactly did she kiss Haley for? Was she just caught up in the moment? Or what.

Brooke sigh as she leaned on the closed locker next to Nathan's "What's up with you?" he asked while taking his things from his locker.
"Haley is avoiding me" she whines and Nathan laughs.
"Well won't don't you just talk to her after school, I'm sure you can corner her before she leaves" he said
"I can't, I have practice after school, which I cannot be late for, that bitch Rachel is trying to take over my squad, I'll give her my piece of mind" she said annoyed.
"I could've told you she was since you haven been here for two days" he said when Brooke glared at him "And besides Hales have tutoring today" he adds.
"And how do you know that?" she raised her brows whistle crossing her arms over her chest.
Nathan roll his eyes "Um maybe because she told me" he said flatly "Jeez Brooke, never pegged you as the jealousy type" he adds afterwards.
"I'm not jealous, don't be ridiculous" she stated and Nathan smiles at her sarcastically.
"Yeah, mm-hmm whatever, I have class to get to, so I'll see you later" he said zipping up his book bag "good luck with your girl" he grins before walking off.
"She's not my girl!" she shouted after him but he just waved her off. She groans frustrated before storming down to her lesson.

"No, no and hell NO!" Rachel shouted at the eight girls in front of her.
"What's wrong Rachel? Didn't we not do the routine right?" Bevin asks so innocently.
Rachel sighs exasperated "Okay, how do I say this nicely?" the red haired asked no one in particular "You guys sucks!" she exclaim and the basketball players across the room looked they way.
"Well it's not our fault we do!" Theresa said.
Rachel walked toward the girl and stood in front of her, making the girl a timid intimidated "And who's fault is that exactly Theresa, huh?" she asked the brunette with frightening eyes.
"If Brooke was here, we wouldn't suck" the girl mumbles but Rachel heard her clearly.
"Yeah well she's not here, but I am so deal with that!" she stated making the girls groan "Alright ladies, from the top...1,2,3-" the she got cut off.
"Hey kiddies, missed me!" Brooke announce and the eight relief girls ran toward they captain, including Theresa, who had said to not being able to stand Brooke but she rather her captain then the red hair.
"Brooke your back!" Bevin said with excrement showing through her eyes, hugging Brooke tightly as if to not let go.
"Yeah Bevin I am, sorry for the two days absent girls, I hope Rachel was nice filling in for me for a while" she grins at the said girl who glared at her "What up red!" she raised her brow suggestively with a bright smile on.
"Brooke, it's good to have you back" Rachel stated without any enthusiastic to her words.
"Awn, thanks red...means a lot" answers the brunette captain "So what we doing?" she asked. Bevin automatically clapped happily before filling Brooke on what has been going on for the pass two days and how Rachel is being mean and driving them nuts totally ignoring a fuming red hair.

The brunette cheerleader came out the gym with her gym bag strapped around her shoulder. She was going to find the honey blonde tutor before she leave, so she set toward tutoring centre. As she was about to push the centre door open she saw the girl she wanted to talk to walk out the school exit.
She quickly runs after her outside. "Hales!" she calls but it was as if Haley wasn't hearing her or she was and didn't want to acknowledge her "Haley!" she shouted again but this time louder then before and the girl finally came to a stop. Brooke breathed a sigh a relief as she picked up her pace. "Okay, now I know that your avoiding" was the first thing she breathed out when she reached Haley.
"What do you want Brooke" Haley asks tightening her books against her chest.
"Nice to see you too tutor girl" Brooke said jokily but then she cleared her throat when she realized that Haley didn't smile. "Um h-how are you?" the brunette asked, seeming that's the best way to start off a conversation.
"I'm doing fine" the shorter girl shrug.
"Um can we talk?" Brooke asks nervously.
"Isn't that what we doing now" Haley answers in a flat out uninterested voice.
"Ye-yeah, um, about the kiss-" Brooke got interrupted.
"It was a mistake" she said.
"Yeah" answered the brunette without realizing "Wait! What!" she finally clocked on what Haley said.
"That's what your going to say right? That the kiss was a mistaken, that it'll never happen again and we should just ignore and move on...right?" Haley said raising her brow.
"No, that's not what I was going to say"
"Oh?" Haley questions before adjusting her books.
"Yeah, look I didn't kiss you because I was caught up in the moment nor because I just felt like it" she took a deep breath before saying "I kissed you because I wanted to" she said embracing herself to Haley's answer.
"Mm" was all the tutor said.
"Mm?" Brooke questions confused "Is all you going to say?" she asked.
"Well what exactly do you want me to say Brooke? Huh?" Haley asked the girl.
"Anything other then 'Mm'" she mocked with eye roll.
"Okay then" Haley answers and Brooke groans in frustration.
"Look, I don't know what's all this mean but since we've been hanging out-"
"We always hang out" Haley interrupts and Brooke looked like she was about to explored.
"Okay, fine!" she exclaim loudly, annoyed at how Haley seem to find everything quiet amusing "Since Peyton left, things have changed after you and Nate tried and helped me to heal...I mean you and Nathan are friends now and I-I like you more than a friend" she finally admits it out loud, she had come to a conclusion that she liked Haley before she kissed the girl and when Nathan questioned her why she had kissed Haley, she said she didn't know bit she knew, she knew exactly why she had kiss Haley. "I don't know how or when it happened but I just know that you make me happy Hales, whenever your around I feel like I can do anything" she adds after a minute.
"So what do you want me to do?" Haley asked as if it was the simplest thing to ask.
"Well I was hoping maybe you can give us ago, I mean whatever this is...so how about going out on a date with me?" Brooke asked nerves showing as she scratched the back of her neck.
"No" Haley answers after a moment of just staring at the girl sweat.
"N-no?" Brooke stutters as her world came crashing down. "Wh-h-what do you mean?"
"Look there's no doubt that you already know about my feelings toward you, hell the whole tree hill student body knows but what I won't do is say yes to your proposition, I don't want to date you, I don't even want to think about giving 'us' ago" she simply explains as she went to leave.
"Wh-whoa, wait? Um Wh-why not?" Brooke asked with a hurt expression on. As much as Haley wanted to just give in to the other girl, she knew she couldn't, not until she made sure that Brooke wanted her and her only, she wasn't going to be the girl's rebound.
"Do you remember what you told me after we slept together at Nathan's party?" Haley asks and Brooke stared at her quizzical "You said that it was a mistaken and that we should just forget about it and move on, now I'm telling you to forget about the kiss and move on" Haley said and she can now see the tear forming at the brown does she loves so much 'be strong Haley' she reminded herself
"That's because I was with Peyton then" Brooke said with a broken voice.
"Bingo!" Haley exclaim as of she had find the solution to a math question "You were with Peyton, so say we get tougher and we been dating for weeks or even months tops and Peyton happens to come backed wanting you back, won't you jump to the offer?" Haley asked seriously.
Brooke stumbles over her words not knowing what to say "Exactly!" Haley said turning once again to walk away but Brooke's hand on her wrist stopped her.
"She won't" she said in a small voice "Peyton's left and won't be coming back any time soon" the brunette adds not even bothering to wipe the tears that was starting to descended down her face.
"What if she does!" Haley yells, getting frustrated at herself for wanting to just hug Brooke and except her offer "What if she does" she adds in her normal voice "Then where would that leave me?" she questions in a small broken voice of her own "I'm sorry Brooke, I've had my heart stumped on before, I'm not letting it happen again" she said with tears of her own streaming down her cheeks "I have to go" and with that she turned and started walking away.
"Haley!" Brooke shouted brokenly, she saw the girl shook her head as she continue on walking away "Hales!" Brooke calls again but Haley continues on her walk.
New fresh tears stream down her face as she watched the other girl go and out sight, in anger and hurt she was feeling she punched any object that was beside her and alert went off.
"What the hell Brooke?" she heard from behind, she turned around and saw a pissed off Lucas Scott, she turned to the beeping sound and saw Lucas's left said window broken, then she looked down at her hand and saw blood then she realized she had just punched a at window, which so just happens to be Lucas Scott's...great, just freaking great!
