Brooke sat on the sofa with her leg propped up on a stool, thinking about what Nicole had suggested to her today. She had recovered for her serious injuries over the summer, after finally coming out of a coma. She was just left now with a broken leg. Cheerleading definitely wasn't going to be an option for a while. She was woken out of her daze by the sound of the doorbell. Just as she went to grab her crutches so she could open it, she heard a voice from behind her.
"It's ok, Brooke. I'll get it."
Brooke looked round and saw Sam standing at the bottom of the stairs. Sam smiled warmly at her and went to open the door. Brooke smiled meekly back and it suddenly hit her how much it would hurt Sam if she tried to win back Harrison. How could she have even considered it? She looked round to see who was at the door.
Sam opened the door and grinned when she saw Harrison there. He smiled at her and put on a baby voice.
"Heya. You wanna come out and play?"
Sam giggled and nodded.
"Uh huh. But I'll have to ask my mummy first."
Harrison grinned and leaned over to kiss her. She returned the kiss warmly and laid one hand against his chest. Brooke flinched inwardly when she saw this display of affection and began to agree with Nicole. However much it would hurt Sam in the future, it was hurting Brooke now. She had made up her mind. She was going to win Harrison back...
"I'm going out for a bit Brooke, you gonna be ok?"
"Yeah sure." She found herself calling back.
...Tomorrow. She would win Harrison back tomorrow. And it was for the best. Right?
~~~~~~~~
George watched as Harrison sat, back against a tree and Sam leant against his chest, with pangs of jealousy. He should be the one with one arm around Sam's waist and one resting gently on her leg whilst kissing her neck, making Sam smile. He knew that Brooke was probably feeling the same way, but the other way around. He took one last look at Sam and Harrison and turned towards Brooke and Sam's house. He was going to pay Brooke a visit and see how she was coping with this sudden turn of events.
~~~~~~~~
Nicole was in her room with the stereo blasting. She was led on her bed, tears rolling down her cheeks. She didn't know how much longer she could keep this up, how much longer she could keep lying. She was amazed that she had got this far without being caught, but she was slowly slipping and her conscience was beginning to kick in. She had tried to kill her best friend, and she had got away with it. She looked at her bedside cabinet. Sitting on it was a bottle of aspirin and a glass of water. She knew how many aspirin it would take to kill her, and end all of her pain, and she knew that there was way more than that sat in the little bottle next to her. She took a deep breath and reached out with a skaking hand for the bottle...
