Undiscovered
Chapter Fourteen
Break Away
Grew up in a small town
And when the rain would fall down
I just stared out my window
Dreaming of what could be
And if I'd end up happy I would pray (I would pray)
Trying not to reach out
But when I'd try to speak out
Felt like no one could hear me
Wanted to belong here
But something felt so wrong here
So I pray (I would pray)
I could breakaway
I'll spread my wings and I'll learn how to fly
I'll do what it takes til' I touch the sky
I'll make a wish
Take a chance
Make a change
And breakaway
Out of the darkness and into the sun
But I won't forget all the ones that I loved
I'll take a risk
Take a chance
Make a change
And breakaway
-Kelly Clarkson: Break Away
Nathan put Brooke's bags in her car while she returned the key to her room and paid. She walked outside just as Nathan was finishing up.
"Thanks," Brooke said with a smile.
Nathan put his hands on Brooke's hips and kissed her softly, "You're welcome."
Brooke looked at her motel room and sighed, "I can't believe I stayed in that shitty place," she said with a laugh.
"I'm glad you're back," Nathan said as he wrapped his arms around her and kissed her neck.
"Let's go," Brooke said softly. Brooke got into her car and followed Nathan back to Tree Hill. She drove to her house and Nathan followed, "Are you making sure I don't leave again?" She teased.
"That's exactly what I'm doing," Nathan said as he took Brooke's suitcase and followed her up to her room, "Where do you want it?"
Brooke put her hands on her hips, "Just put it on the floor. I'll sort it all out later."
Nathan stuck his hand out, "Don't I get a tip?"
"Here's a tip, stay in school," Brooke said sarcastically.
Nathan sat down on Brooke's bed and grabbed her hand, "I was thinking," he said as he pulled Brooke onto his lap, "something a little different."
Brooke laughed, "You are quite the horny one aren't you?"
"Is that a crime?" He asked as he kissed her passionately. The kiss grew intense and Nathan laid Brooke down on her back and got on top of her.
Brooke put her hand up to stop Nathan, "I should unpack," she said as she got out from under Nathan, "I promised Peyton I would go and see her."
Nathan wiped his lips and got up, "She can wait can't she?"
Brooke went over and gave Nathan a sweet kiss on the lips, "I'll call you when I'm done talking to Peyton."
Nathan smirked, "There's a party tonight so I'll see you there."
"Are you sure we should go?" Brooke asked a little apprehensive.
Nathan gave her a confused look, "Why wouldn't we?"
Brooke sighed, "Do you think Haley will get mad?"
Nathan shrugged, "Who cares what she thinks?"
"Nathan," Brooke said sternly, "I care."
"Why?"
"Because," Brooke said as she opened her suitcase, "We are kind of friends."
Nathan laughed, "When she sees us together I don't think she'll want a friendship with you." Brooke sighed, "Look," Nathan said as he held onto Brooke's shoulders, "I don't care what anybody thinks about us being together. The only thing that matters is you," he said giving her a kiss on the right cheek, "and me," he said giving her a kiss on the left cheek.
Brooke smiled this had been the first time she had been truly happy, "Pick me up later tonight," she said with her arms still wrapped around his neck.
"How does 8:00 sound?"
"Perfect," Brooke said as she kissed Nathan on the lips. She released her arms from around his neck and smiled, "I guess we should go."
"Yeah," Nathan said as he went out to the driveway and got in his car, "See you at 8:00."
"Bye gorgeous," Brooke said as she got into her own car.
Nathan parked in his driveway and got out of his car, he saw Haley standing at his front door pacing, "Hales," he said as he greeted her.
Nathan could see the tear stains on her cheeks, "Nathan," she said her voice sounding a little nervous, "I don't know why I came, I just...Something just told me I should come to your house and talk to you," she said as she swallowed the lump in her throat.
"Come in," Nathan said as he opened the door for her, "Are you okay?"
Haley sat down on the couch, "I just...I miss you Nathan," she said as she started to sob, "I'm sorry for everything I said," she said as she kissed him softly on the lips.
Nathan pulled back, "Don't Haley."
"Nathan," she said as her voice cracked, "I want to get married."
"Married?" Nathan asked, "Hales we can't..."
Haley cut him off by putting her finger on his lips, "I love you Nathan," she said as she brought her hand down, "I want you to be my husband...And I want you to be my first," Haley said as she brought her head down.
Nathan brought Haley's chin up with his fingers, "You want to give your virginity to me?"
Haley nodded, "I love you Nathan," she said with a sobbed laugh, "I want to be with you forever." Haley leaned in, as did Nathan. Their lips came together and the kiss grew and neither of them heard Brooke walk into the front door.
Brooke watched in horror as the newly "ex's" made out on Nathan's couch. She watched for awhile longer as the tears fell down like rain. Brooke got into her car and drove away, and this time she wasn't coming back.
Weeks had passed and Peyton had given up any hope of ever finding Brooke, she would call her cell phone, but nobody would answer. Peyton looked at her bridesmaid dress in the full length mirror and sighed, "Why am I doing this?" She asked herself. Peyton saw Haley walk into the room and smile at her, "You look beautiful," Peyton said to her.
"I'm sorry Brooke left," Haley said softly as she walked over towards Peyton and gave her a hug, "I'm so sorry."
Peyton dried her eyes and when the hug ended she have Haley a weak smile, "I'll be okay," she said in a shaky voice.
"It's time to go sweetheart," Haley's mom said as she poked her head into the door.
Haley held Peyton's hand, "Come on," she said as she led her down into the back yard.
Peyton walked down the aisle along with Lucas, who was the best man. She looked around at the faces of people, some of them family, some of them people from school. Peyton looked across to Lucas who was looking straight back at her. She smiled weakly at him and he smiled at her, reassuring her that he knew the pain she was in.
Everyone stood as Haley walked down the aisle as she was escorted by her father. Peyton had to admit that she looked gorgeous as she walked down in her beautiful white dress with a veil over her tanned face and her brown hair curled down. Haley's father gave her one last kiss on the cheek, and Haley stood in front of Nathan and smiled.
The ceremony went on; Peyton wasn't paying attention to much of it. Just stood like a stone and hoped to god that Brooke would somehow show up, but she didn't. The pastor caught Peyton's attention when he pronounce the "I do's."
"And do you Haley James take Nathan Scott to be your lawfully wedded husband?"
Haley smiled as a single tear rolled down her cheek, "I do."
"And do you Nathan Scott take Haley James to be your lawfully wedded wife?"
"I do," Nathan said as he smiled at Haley.
"Then I now pronounce you husband and wife. You may now kiss the bride."
Nathan leaned in and kissed Haley passionately as the students from Tree Hill High cheered. Peyton looked at Lucas and he looked back, neither of them cheered or clapped just stood there and had to pretend that what was happening was the right thing.
The reception was huge; Dan had made sure that his son had the best party ever. Peyton walked over to Lucas and sat down beside him with her champagne in hand.
"Hey," Lucas said as he rubbed Peyton's back, "You okay?"
Peyton took a sip of her champagne, "No," she said glumly.
Lucas sighed and watched Nathan and Haley dance together, "I told Haley that I would always support her no matter what she did. I just can't support this."
"Why? Because she's marrying Nathan," Peyton said as she crossed her legs.
"No," Lucas said, "Because I don't think he's marrying the right girl."
Peyton looked at Lucas and sighed, "Do you think she's okay?" She said referring to Brooke.
Lucas nodded, "I think she is." Peyton held Lucas's hand as they watched the happy couple slow dance together.
Peyton's hand began to shake as she cried harder, "God I hope so Luke."
