Here is chapter 20. yay 20 chapters that's exciting. Ok so please review. Please oh and also please enjoy…
Saturday morning Brooke woke up a little bit earlier then usual because she was so excited and nervous to tell Karen about wanting to move in with Nathan. She got out of bed and grabbed her juicy jacket, and walked out to the kitchen putting it on.
"Hi Karen." Brooke said.
"Good morning Brooke, you're up early." Karen said, she was sitting at the table reading a newspaper and drinking coffee.
"Yeah, umm I wanted to talk to you about something." Brooke said.
"Ok, well go ahead." Karen said putting her paper down.
Brooke walked over to the table sitting down cautiously
"Ok so here's the thing, Nathan and I went out last night…" but Karen had cut her off.
"Oh honey do I want to know?" Karen said.
"Oh I think you do." Brooke said.
"Ok well keep going then." Karen said taking another sip of her coffee.
"Well we went out last night and we got to talking right" Brooke said and then paused.
"You I know I think I want some coffee too it sounds delicious right now." Brooke said getting up.
"Brooke, why don't you just tell me what you need to tell me." Karen said.
"right." Brooke said sitting down again.
"Ok?" Karen said after a few seconds of no one saying anything.
"Oh right sorry. Nathan asked me to move in with him." Brooke said closing her eyes and sort of hunching back as if Karen were going to hit her or something. When Karen didn't say anything Brooke slowly opened one of her eyes and then opened the other one.
"So…" Brooke said
"I don't think that's a good idea." Karen said.
"Look no offense but I'm eighteen now and I can do whatever I want to do." Brooke said.
"Well first of all you can't do whatever you want and second of all why did you even bother to ask me then?" Karen said.
"Because I think we've gotten really close Karen and you're almost like a second mother to me, I mean you were a better mother then my mom ever was and I just really wanted your blessing."
"Brooke that's really sweet, but I think that moving in with someone is a really big step and it's something that a high school student just shouldn't do."
"I did it with you and Lucas." Brooke said.
"That's very different Brooke. There is an adult in the house, with you and Nathan you could just go and get wasted every night and never do homework, fail out of school not go to college."
"Karen none of that's going to happen." Brooke said.
"That's what you think now, but living on your own is going to be a new and exciting thing and it will carry you away with it." Karen said.
"But Nathan's already been living on his own, and he's doing fine. It's not like we're both moving on our own for the first time. Plus for most of my life I've been on my own anyways."
"Brooke I can't stop you from doing what you want to do." Karen said.
"But see you kind of can because unless you say yes I'm going to feel guilty about it the whole time and that would just suck."
"Well then I guess I give you my blessing." Karen said.
"Oh yes!" Brooke said jumping out of her chair.
"But Brooke I want you to remember that you will always have a room here."
"Karen if this situation isn't working like if I start getting bad grades… or worse grades then I'll reconsider the whole thing, but I just really want to try this out."
"Ok, I really hope it works for you Brooke." Karen said.
"Oh thank you." Brooke said walking away but then she stopped and turned around and hugged Karen catching her a little of guard.
"And I meant everything I said about you being like a second mom to me." Brooke said.
"Anytime you need me Brooke."
"Ok, thanks I'm going to go tell Nathan." Brooke said skipping off.
Brooke walked up to Nathan's apartment door and knocked on it excitedly. No one answered so she knocked again.
"Nathan I know you're in there, so come out here." Brooke said. There was a few more seconds of silence. "nath…" she yelled when Nathan opened the door. "an." She said finishing his name.
"Brooke it's kind of early." he said groggily, he was wearing sweatpants and looked like he had just woken up, which he had.
"I know but I have some great news."
"And you woke up really early to tell me?" Nathan said.
"Shut up." Brooke said pushing him out of her way and walking inside.
"So I talked to Karen this morning and she gave me her blessing. I'm moving in." Brooke said. Nathan ran up to her and hugged her swinging her around in the air. It caught Brooke a little of guard so she let out a little scream.
"That's great." He said.
"I know, now we get to do this all the time." Brooke said before closing the gab between them and kissing him.
"Hey I was going to take a shower." Nathan said seductively.
"Hey what a coincidence I was going to take a shower this morning too but then I just had to ask Karen, and well now I haven't taken a shower all morning." Brooke said like she was a damsel in distress.
"You know I have a kind of big shower." Nathan said.
"Let's go lover boy." Brooke said taking his hand and running with him into the bathroom.
Brooke walked out of the bathroom drying wearing nothing but a towel, Nathan had gotten out a little bit before her and was sitting at his desk looking around for movie times on the internet. Brooke walked over to the bed excepting to find her clothes, but they weren't there. She started searching around the room and when her eyes got to Nathan she walked over to him and leaned over whispering in his ears seductively.
"Nathan, do you happen to know where my clothes are?" Brooke said.
"I thought you left them on the bed." Nathan said pretending he didn't know anything.
"Right well they're not there. Do you know where they might be?"
"Why do you think I would know where they are?" Nathan said turning away from the computer to look at her.
"Oh I don't know. Wild guess?" Brooke said.
"I don't know." Nathan said laughing a little.
"Ok, Nathan where'd you put my clothes?" Brooke said knowing he knew where they were.
"Honestly, I don't know. I guess you're just going to have to wear that towel all day. I mean or I could lend you some of my clothes. Of course you'd have to take off the towel to do that." He said leaning back in the chair.
"You look like you want me to strip for you. You're all leaning back in your chair settling in."
"No I'm just getting comfortable. A little show wouldn't be bad." He said.
"Sorry but no. I'm going to find my clothes." Brooke said starting to walk down the hall, but Nathan grabbed her hand and pulled her back.
"Fine if you won't do it then I will." He said.
"No, Nathan no." she said but he started tickling her and she lost control, she used an amazing amount of energy to push him away from her, and she grabbed the other end of the towel as it was starting to fall off and ran down the hall, Nathan close behind her. She saw her clothes sitting on the counter. She grabbed them, and Nathan almost grabbed her but she moved to the other side of the counter. She everyway she went he was going to go. She faked to the right and then made a run for it to the left, but he grabbed her and they fell onto the couch, both laughing hysterically. Brooke looked up at Nathan and kissed him, they started to make out, and Brooke maneuvered herself on top of him, and then she grabbed her clothes and ran to the bathroom, Nathan ran after her, and right before she closed the door she said "ha." and closed the door.
Brooke left Nathan's apartment about an hour after their whole little chase scenario and headed back to Karen's to start packing. She wanted to move in with Nathan as soon as possible. When she got to Karen's she went straight into her room and started looking around. Oh god where to start. She didn't have that much stuff with her actually, but she did have a lot of clothes and then there was the dollhouse. She decided she'd start with her clothes. She went into the kitchen to find Boxes, and saw Lucas sitting in the living room watching TV. She went and sat down next to him.
"Hey."
"hey." He said trying to pay attention to the TV.
"You brooding?' she asked smiling. He turned to look at her.
"Just uh watching TV." He said.
"Ok well do you have any boxes up in here?" Brooke said laughing at the last part of her sentence.
"Um, yeah we might why?" Lucas asked.
"I need them to pack my clothes up." Brooke said.
"Why? You going somewhere?" he asked.
"Yeah to Nathan's apartment. We're moving in together." Brooke said loving the way that sounded.
"You're what?' he said. He felt like he had just been hit by a ton of rocks.
"We're moving in together, he asked me last night." Brooke said
"Brooke have you thought about this at all?" Lucas asked her, trying to make her change her mind.
"Yes I have, mother!" Brooke said. "I would think you wouldn't really care."
"I just don't want you to get hurt." Lucas said.
"By moving into Nathan's apartment, it's not like the walls are going to cave in." Brooke said.
"That's not what I meant." He said seriously.
"I know, I don't think that's going to happen Lucas. Its kind of ironic that you'reworried about me getting hurt butanyways do you have any boxes?"
Brooke said remembering why she had first started the conversation.
"Uh yeah, I'll go check." He said getting up slowly.
"I'll be in my room." Brooke said skipping off.
Brooke was taking down clothes from her hangers when Lucas walked in, no boxes in hand.
"You don't have any boxes?" Brooke said.
"Um no sorry." Lucas said.
"Its ok, I'll just find something else to pack in." Brooke said getting back to what she was doing, but Lucas kept standing at the door.
"Anything else?" Brooke asked him, noticing that he was staring at her.
"Brooke I don't think you should leave." Lucas said.
"Why, I thought you would be happy, no more sleeping on the couch, you get your room back." She said still being all happy go lucky.
"No Brooke, I just I think it's a bad idea." He said walking into the room a little ways.
"Why Lucas?"
"I don't know because… because of this." He said stepping up to her and kissing her, but she broke away right away.
"Lucas what was that?' Brooke said.
"Don't tell you didn't feel anything there, or at the party?" Lucas said starting to sound a little desperate.
"Yeah I felt your lips on mine." Brooke said bluntly.
"Brooke, I felt something more, you had to have too."
"No actually Lucas I didn't and you want to know why because I'm in love with Nathan, not you."
"Brooke, please, I turned Haley down for you. If you could just give me a chance." He said.
"Okay first of all this is like the worst time ever to confess you freaking undying love to me and second of all youre an asshole Lucas." Brooke said.
"Brooke…"
"You turned down Haley, a girl who really loves you, all to come after me a girl who's already in love and moving in with another guy who happens to be your brother.
"I'm sorry…" he said but she cut him off again.
"Oh and that little move you just made on me, it wasn't cool Lucas it was a real jackass move considering I'm dating your brother." Brooke said.
"I had to do it Brooke!" Lucas said yelling now. "I had to tell you how I felt."
"You shouldn't have done it Lucas. Even if I weren't dating Nathan I wouldn't go after you." Brooke said.
"Why not? You were going to do it at the beginning of the year."
"Get out Lucas." Brooke said.
"Brooke, why not?"
"Just get out!" Brooke said tears starting to form in her eyes. "Damn it Lucas, you always do this to me one way or another."
"Do what?" Lucas asked her.
"Break my heart, do you know how much my heart has been damaged because of you and I finally give my heart to someone else, and you have to come in and put another bump in the road." Brooke said.
"Brooke I'm sorry."
"Just leave please." Brooke said.
"Yeah." He said turning around but then turning back.
"I really do love you Brooke."
"God, just leave Lucas." Brooke said sitting down on her bed. He nodded his head and left the room.
