Chapter 7-Beautiful Letdown
A/N-please keep reviewing!
Brooke was laying on her stomach on her bed watching re-runs of 'Dawson's Creek' and eating a pint of mint chocolate chip icecream. Ever since the party, she couldnt help but think about the time she spent with Tim. Even though he was drunk, she felt like she could sort of connect with him. She felt something there between them. She wanted to know the deeper meaning about why he got drunk every single weekend. Like really smashed. Everyone had a reason if they got smashed like that every weekend. She used to do it herself. But now she wants to change and she is going to. Shes going to show everyone that Brooke Davis can change...change for the better.
Tim was upstairs in his room blaring his stereo as he was lying on his bed. Downstairs his parents were screaming at each other about God knows what. Its what they did almost every night of the week when they both came home from a long day at work. Every single night.
Tim closed his eyes tightly and ran his hands over his face. He couldn't stand his parents screaming and yelling at each other every night. He hated it. But no one knew about it. Not even his best friend, Nathan. He didn't feel like he could tell him because all Nathan cared about was basketball and girls. Him and Nathan used to play basketball together and would play NBA live together almsot everyday.. But things changed between them and they didnt spend that kind of time together anymore and Tim missed that. Tim missed his 'Tim Time'. His 'Tim Time' was the only time he could ever get away from his parents screaming their heads off at each other.
Now with his parents fighting all the time he had no where to go to escape it. Nathan was always with Peyton or practicing his jumpshot. Tim needed something to escape from the yelling. So he went to drinking. Its what he did every night before he went to bed so he could pass out and just completely avoid his parents yelling. Its also what he did every Friday night at parties. No one ever paid attention to him. Not once. Except last Friday.
Brooke Davis. Brooke Davis actually noticed Tim that night. She saved him form the embaressment and pain. She actually cared enough to stop him from drinking. It was part of her new self. But what Brooke didn't know was that Tim was hurting inside and no one could seem to stop the pain...until that night at the party.
it was a beautiful let down
when i crashed and burned
when i found myself alone unknown and hurt
it was a beautiful let down
the day i knew
that all the riches this world had to offer me
would never do
