"That is so cool" Brooke said to Haley, and she actually listened to what she was saying. Brooke, Haley and Nathan sat at the same table for lunch, which wasnt something you saw everyday.
"Yeah well.. its not sure Nathan is letting me go" Haley said and looked innocently at Nathan.
"Come one Nath.. you gotta let her spread her wings" Brooke said, laughing.
Haley had been asked to sing with a local band, and they were going a few miles away to sing.
"Im not sure about it.." Nathan started but both girls screamed "Come on" at the same time and Nathan just shook his head. "Ok.. you should go" Nathan said and looked at Haley, who was really happy.
"Your serious?" She said with her mouth opened and Nathan nodded his head. Her mouth formed into a smile as she kissed him and said "thank you thank you thank you" Nathan and Brooke just smiled.
"hey be careful, and dont eat him up" Brooke teased and drank her diet coke. Then Peyton and Lucas walked over to the table, holding hands. Brooke sighed slightly and rolled her eyes.
"Hey guys" Peyton said, with her eyes stuck on Brooke. She really wanted to talk things out with her.
"Hey" nathan and Haley said at the same time. Brooke didnt say anything, which caused everyone looking at her. She then looked around and put her coke down.
"Suddenly not so hungry" She said and got up throwing her food away and started walking, but got stopped by someone holding her hand. She turned around looking straight into Peytons eyes.
"Brooke Im not joking about this, we need to talk and I need you to tell me the truth" Peyton said with her eyes pierced into Brookes
"Well you need a lot of things, but your not getting everything" Brooke said and turned around again.
"Brooke!" Peyton screamed but Brooke and when Brooke decided to ignore her she started running after her. She quickly walked in front of her to stop her.
"Peyton, move" Brooke said cold, and with her eyes closed. Peyton and her was good friends, before this whole Lucas thing. She laughed inside of herself as she thought of the days when they had their slumber parties. A small smile appeared in her face, and Peyton saw that.
"Brooke, please. Talk to me" Peyton said with a shaky voice. Brooke opened her eyes and looked at Peyton, and she could see Brooke was on her way to cry. Brooke kept on looking into Peytons eyes and just shook her head. She wanted to talk, but not with Peyton. She pushed her aside and walked out of the school.
She sat down in her car and drove off to the park. She sat down at the grass and looked at the lake. She smiled for herself as she remembered some times she spent with Lucas here. Before the Peyton thing. She had some great times with them, but all of it got shattered as she slowly thought of the earlier days.
She sighed a little as she kept on looking at the lake remembering some good times she had with Lucas. She slowly let herself fall down on the grass, smelling the soft smell of summer. She closed her eyes and let a single tear fall down from her eyes but not one more. She was strong. Stronger than anyone thought. Peyton and Lucas treated her like she was broken by all of this.
She was.. but no one could know. After today everyone would though. But that wasnt bringing her down. Though the memories might could..
Flashback
Brooke and Lucas were walking around the park, at 2 am after a big party and Brooke was pretty wasted, but not enough that she didnt remember what happend that night. She walked around the grass without her shoes on and tippy toed back and forward. Lucas was watching her and laughed to himself. Brooke quickly stopped and looked at him.
"What?" She asked slightly as she moved towards him.
"You look cute when you do that" Lucas said with the sweetest voice. Brooke smiled the widest smile she had ever had on her face and gave Lucas a kiss on his mouth but he stopped her.
"Dont Brooke.." He said and pushed her away. She looked at him confused as he just had given her a test. "Your drunk.." He said carefully.
"Im not drunk Luke.."she said and looked at him. He smiled, which caused her to smile too.
"I know where this is going, and your drunk enough to not knowing what to do. I dont want to use you" Lucas said and Brooke kept on looking him straight into his eyes. He was so sweet, he really cared about her enough not to use her. She then slowly moved towards him and gave him a kiss.
"Im not drunk you know.." She said inbetween the kisses. "..and Im not strong enough to resist you" She said and kept on kissing him
She was still lying in the grass thinking about it as she heard foot steps. She opened her eyes and looked right at the sun, which made her blinded for a little while. She lifted her body up and now she was sitting with her hands covering her eyes. Now the foot steps stopped and the person that caused them were standing right in front of her. She slowly looked up at the person, and saw him.. Lucas.
"Brooke.. we need to talk" Lucas said as he bent down so his face was on the same lenght as Brookes
"I have nothing to say to you" she said as she got up and started walking away.
"Brooke.." Lucas screamed softly. Brooke stopped and took a deep breath. Her eyes got teary but she shook it away. She then slowly turned around looking at Lucas.
"you want me to talk? You want to know how I feel?" She said as she slowly moved towards him. "You want me to tell you how I felt when I walked into Peytons room seeing you and Peyton fooling around behind my back? You mind telling me how long it was going on?" Brooke said, but she didnt wanna know..
"Brooke we didnt mean this to happen.. you know that dont you?" Lucas said and sometimes let his head look down at his feet, as he was a little uncomfortable with this.
"I dont know what you ment about that, all I know is.." She said almost blurting out she wasnt over him but quickly stopped and sighed.
"what Brooke? You can tell me.. were friends" Lucas said, wanting Brooke to share things with him..
"yeah.. friends.." Brooke whispered to herself as she walked away and left Lucas alone by the lake..
