Chapter 2 -
"Brooke," Lucas ran after the brunette, "Come on, Brooke, just wait."
"Haley, I can't be pregnant, I can't be." Brooke shook her head violently as her tears continued to run down.
"Brooke, it's going to be okay. I promise you you'll get through it," A few minutes of silence passed where only the sobs from Brooke could be heard, then, "Brooke, are you going to keep the baby?"
"I...I...I don't know." Brooke sobs became heavier as she replied. Truth is, in the past three hours or so since Brooke took the test, she wasn't even thinking about keeping the baby or not.
You would think that would be the first thought of someone whom gets impregnated unplanned. But no, not Brooke. Her first thoughts were how would she be able to tell Lucas. He was probably off somewhere with Peyton having no idea what was going on with Brooke at the moment.
It had been an hour since it was confirmed that Brooke was indeed with child. Within the first hour since Haley arrived, Brooke demanded they go to a twenty four hour clinic just to be sure. I mean, the test could be incorrect, right? No, not right.
"Brooke," Haley whispered as she stroked Brooke's hair, "You should call Lucas."
"Okay," Brooke managed to say hesitantly through sobs, "But, maybe I should wait until tomorrow, it's, um, getting pretty late, and he might be asleep and um-."
"Brooke," Haley cut off her best friend's rambling, "You got to call him, sweetie."
"I know." Brooke muttered.
"Here," Haley said as she took Brooke's cell phone out of her purse, "I'll be outside, you call him. Okay?"
All Brooke did was nod. Haley left the room as Brooke's numb fingers touched the key pads dialing the once familiar phone number.
Ring.
Ring.
And it kept on ringing.
"You reached Lucas and I'm not here right now. Leave a message and..." The voice mail went on for a minute or two as Brooke impatiently waited for the beep, but before the 'beep' came on, someone picked up the phone.
"Hello?" Lucas answered groggily.
Brooke froze. She didn't know what to say.
"Hello? Brooke? Are you there?"
And then she hung up before her sobs become louder.
After three attempts from Lucas trying to reach Brooke, Haley returned with a cup of water.
"Here," She handed the glass to Brooke as Brooke accepted it, "Did you tell him?"
Brooke thought about what to say for a second before nodding.
"Yes."
"And?"
"We're, um, we're going to talk about it tomorrow," Brooke quickly said before moving on to another topic, "Haley, you should go home. It's getting really late and...I don't want to keep you here."
"Brooke, I don't mind. You're my friend and I'm worried about you."
"Yeah, I'm worried about me, too. But really, you have your own problems with Nathan about the whole accident and really, thanks but, I think you should go."
"Brooke..." Haley started.
"I'll be fine."
"You sure?"
Brooke took a deep breath. "Yeah. Thanks." She gave Haley a hug as some more tears escaped her eyes.
As Brooke heard the door downstairs close, she sighed heavily as she buried her face in a pillow. How was she ever going to build up enough courage to tell Lucas?
As if on cue, her phone began to ring again. She lifted it up as she saw the caller i.d., 'Luke'. She through the phone on the floor and the annoying ringing stopped.

"Good morning, Lucas." Haley said as she walked into the café.
"Hey, Hales. How's Nathan?"
Haley sighed, "He's been better. How are you?"
"I've been better too. Ya know, me and Brooke just broke up and..."
"But you're going to be there for her, right? Because she really needs you."
"I'll always be there for her. But, I really don't think she wants me to be around these days."
"She's just scared right now. But you're both going to be okay. You guys will get through it."
"Get through what?" Lucas asked confused.
"What?"
"Get through what? What are you talking about?"
"What are you talking about? You know what I'm talking about..."
"Actually I don't."
"What are you talking about? You know that Brooke's pregnant."
"Brooke's pregnant?" Lucas asked as his eyes practically jumped out of his eye sockets.
"You didn't know? She said she called you."
"She did call me...but then she hung up... She's pregnant?"
"Lucas, I shouldn't be telling you this, I just thought she did already. I'm sorry."
"Oh my god." Lucas put his hands over his mouth. Brooke's pregnant!
000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
Brooke took a deep breath as she walked into the halls of Tree Hill High. Hopefully she wouldn't run into Lucas. Suddenly she felt a tap on her shoulder. 'Please let it not be Lucas. Please not Lucas. Please.'
Phew, it's Haley.
"You didn't tell him." Haley whispered venomously into Brooke's ear.
"Haley, not now."
"Well now he knows."
"What? Haley, tell me you didn't."
"I didn't mean to but I thought that you told him so I asked him about it."
"Haley!"
"Brooke, I didn't know."
"It was none of your business in the first place!"
"I cannot believe you're actually mad at me."
"I think I have a right to be."
"You know what. Fine. You live your life in denial, keep this baby a secret-."
"You think you can lower your voice?" Brooke said as random students started staring at the two.
"Oh look," Haley said as she spotted Lucas walking towards them, "It's Lucas. I'll give you two privacy."
Brooke tried escaping but Lucas quickened his pace and quit up with her.
"Get away from me."
"Brooke," Lucas ran after the brunette, "Come on Brooke, just wait."
"No, I need to go."
"Class starts in fifteen minutes, you don't need to go anyway."
"Please, just get away from me."
"Brooke, we need to talk about this."
"There is nothing to talk about." Brooke responded quickly as she kept on walking.
"Why didn't you tell me?" He asked and she could tell he was hurt.
"Why?," She replied, and for the first time turned around and stared him in the eyes, "Why, Lucas? Because I'm so scared. Because we just broke up and you're going to be hooking up with Peyton. And because, we're both only eighteen, we're not ready for this at all." She said all in one breath as her eyes welled with tears.
"Brooke..."
"That's why, Lucas, that's why. Good enough answer?" She finished and walked away.
For now, she would be in denial. She furiously wiped her tears away with her sleeve. Baby? What baby?
