Chapter 3: A Tag-along and a Breakup


---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------

1 Week Later...

(Los Angeles)


"Luke" he heard a voice say.

He groaned and put the pillow over his head. He felt someone shake him and he sat up. Katie was sitting on his bed, with a glass of water.

"You're lucky you woke up, I was about to pour this all over you"

He grinned at her and said, "You would've been sorry, believe me"

She wrapped her arms around his neck and said, "I was thinking... Since you have next week off, maybe we could go somewhere?"

"Actually, I'm going to Haley's reunion thing in Tree Hill"

"Oh, well that's okay" She pretended not to care

"Katie, I do want to spend time with you. But, I haven't seen my friends in 5 years" He explained

"I could come with you," She said, happily

"I don't think that would be a good idea, its just going to be the old gang"

She gave him a cold glare and said, "Do you not want me to meet your friends? Are you ashamed of me?"

She got up to leave, but he pulled her back towards the bed and said, "No, I'm not ashamed of you. I like you, a lot" he added

"Then I'm coming with you," she decided before he could object. She walked back toward the phone to call her dad to tell him she was going on vacation with him and Nathan.

What did I get myself into? He thought.

(Tree Hill)

She heard the phone ringing inside her house while she stood outside, looking for her keys while balancing the groceries on one knee.

She finally found them and opened the door and raced toward the phone

"Hello?" she asked, breathlessly

"Hales, is it a bad time?" Lucas asked

"No. I just got in and I raced to get the phone. What's up?"

"Actually, I called to let you know that our flight's getting in at 3 pm on Tuesday"

"Okay, Peyton's and Jakes are getting in on Tuesday morning"

"There's something else I need to ask you about. My girlfriend wants to come. Is that okay?" he asked

She felt herself frown. How was she going to get him and Brooke back together if he brought his girlfriend?

"That's cool, I'm looking forward to meeting her"

"Well, I got to get to practice. I'll see you on Tuesday?"

"Yea, bye Luke"

"Bye Hales"

She hung up and said, "Things are not going the way I want them too"

---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------

(NYC)

Brooke walked into her apartment, totally exhausted. She had just flown back from Seattle. She glanced at the clock and sighed. 1:30 am.

All she wanted was a hot shower and to sleep for at least a week. She walked toward her bedroom and opened the door.

Her hand froze on the doorknob while she took in the sight before her.

"What the hell, Jackson?" She screamed

Jackson sat up in shock when he heard Brooke's voice. The girl beside him woke up and looked in horror at her. She got up and grabbed her clothes and left.

"That's right you stupid slut, you better leave or I'll kick your ass" She yelled

"Brooke, calm down" Jackson said

"Calm down? I found my boyfriend in bed with another woman and you want me to calm down?"

"Listen, it was a mistake," he explained

"A mistake? What, you thought she was me? Or was it a mistake to have sex in my bed instead of a cheap motel, where you probably wouldn't have been caught?"

"She doesn't mean anything. I love you" he said

"So you wanted to show how much you love me by sleeping with another woman?"

"It's just. I never see you anymore, you're always gone"

"So you think that gives you the right to cheat on me?"

She had tears running down her face and she was sure that all of New York could hear them.

"Leave" she said, quietly

"Brooke..." He said

"No. I never want to see you or talk to you again. Go be with your skank and leave me alone" She screamed

He got his clothes from the floor and left the room. She slid down against the wall with her knees up against her chest, crying silently.

--The Next Day—

"Brooke darling, where are you?" she heard Alexis's voice shout out.

She saw the door open and heard Alexis gasp. She must have looked pretty terrible. She had finally cried herself out and fell asleep.

Alexis lead her to the shower, informing her a broken heart heals in time. Brooke knows about that. She had left her first love back in Tree Hill and she never forgot about him.

She took a long, hot shower to calm herself down. She wrapped herself in a towel and walked back toward the bedroom. She saw Alexis sitting on the bed, reading a magazine.

"What are you reading?" she asked

"Nothing" Alexis said, hiding the magazine behind her back.

Brooke reached behind her and grabbed it.

She was staring at her face on the cover of the tabloid magazine "Today"

"Model, Brooke Davis splits with long time boyfriend after he cheats" She read out loud

She threw the magazine down on the bed and sat beside Alexis. It didn't take long for the paparazzi to clue in. They must have heard the shouting from the street and got the story after Jackson was seen leaving her penthouse.

"It's not as bad as it seems" Alexis said, trying to be helpful.

"Yeah, I know. I'm really looking forward to leaving New York for a little while. I think this trip back to Tree Hill will help" she explained

At least she hoped so, if not she could always count on her old ways.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------

A/N: I told you I had plans for Jackson. My intention was for Katie to come off sounding like a bitch and a snob.

"I see... I see two people hooking up in the future and a fight"

Let's see if my prediction comes true. So hurry up and review and tell me what you think!!!!!
