Same Mistake Twice

Disclaimer: (sorry, I forgot to put this on there last time...) Not mine… its all Mark's… lucky guy.

AN-Sorry last chapter was so short. This one should be longer. By the way--- Brooke's parents did move, and she will eventually move in with Karen, but she hasn't yet. Lucas is still living with Dan and the whole Dan investigation thing isn't really in the story. This part is set right after Jake went to jail. Nathan and Haley drama probably won't be in this chapter, but I will find a way to put it in the story somewhere. That's all kiddies---

Brooke has made an appointment at the doctor for that afternoon. She was in her history class and from the corner of her eye, she saw Lucas looking at her lovingly. Without realizing it, she smiled at him. She was once reminded of the times when he would look at her like that while they were dating. He looked at her as if she were the only person in the world that mattered. The bell rang and Brooke was soon taken out of her "Lucas trance".

She walked out of her history class and a hand caught her arm. She would know that feeling anywhere, it was Lucas.

"Hey Luke!" The way she said his name would never change. She couldn't call him Luke without acting happy. Of course, they were just friends. She really did love being his friend, but sometimes they got into awkward situations that would remind her of times when they were dating.

"Hey Brooke. What's going on with you today? You seem a little bit out of it." He looked at her and concern filled his beautiful blue-gray eyes.

"Nothing!" She said it as if she wasn't about to go find out if she were pregnant with an asshole's child. "Just not in the mood for history today," She added with a fake laugh.

"Oh, right." He knew she was lying. Although they had not been together long, Lucas could read her like a book. He knew something was bothering her, and he felt bad that she did not feel comfortable enough with him to tell her, but he decided not to push the subject. He liked being friends with her, and he surely didn't want to get on her bad side again.

"Alright, well I'm gonna go find Peyton. I'll talk to you later I guess." She said in an awkward voice. She was lying. Yes, she wanted to go find Peyton. She needed to check in with her before she went to this appointment. Although she had not told her what was going on; she just needed to see her best friend before she went to, what could be, the most important appointment of her life. She was lying about wanting to talk to him later though. She wanted to talk to him now. She wanted to break down and be held in his arms while she cried. She wanted him to wipe away her tears, but she couldn't tell him, at least not right now.

"Bye…"

"P. Sawyer!" Brooke said excitedly as she walked up to her best friend's locker. She looked at Peyton's face; her eyes were bloodshot and red. She had tried to hide the dark circles that were quickly forming under her eyes with concealer, but it hadn't worked. She reminded herself to give her a make-up lesson when things weren't so dramatic.

"Hey Brooke!" Peyton's voice tried to match Brooke's in happiness, but it surely didn't and Brooke definitely took notice.

"Okay, what's wrong? Did Jake do something, because I warned him that if he hurt you I'd cut off his…"

"BROOKE!" Peyton interrupted her tirade on Jake. "Calm down. Yes, it has to do with Jake..."

"I knew it…" Brooke interrupted.

"Brooke, just listen to me." Brooke nodded her head. "It's not Jake's fault. Jenny's gone." Brooke's face fell. "But she's okay; Jake found a place for her to be safe. But now, the police are pissed and…" Peyton's voice began to shake. She really hadn't wanted to start crying. She was tired of crying.

"And…" Brooke pushed, although she saw the look of sadness that had swept over her best friend's face.

"And… the police … they put him in… in… jail until they can find her, or until they start to sort all this crap or… I don't know when…" She had explained the situation without tears, but they were certainly building up in her eyes. She was so frustrated with the entire situation, but she knew that Brooke would understand. Brooke's arms engulfed Peyton.

"Oh my god… Peyton, uh… I'm so sorry. God, I should have known. I was so caught up in my own drama and I was totally failing as a best friend. Tonight it's me and you girl's night. We'll do whatever you want. We can watch one of your weird movies or listen your emo music. Whatever you want. Okay?" Brooke put on a smile to hide the surprise from the news that Peyton told her.

"Okay…" Peyton smiled, a real smile, not the half-ass smile that she had been sporting since she had seen Jake in jail last night. She replayed the conversation that she had just had with Brooke in her head and stopped. "Wait, Brooke… What drama in your life? I mean I know that the whole moving thing happened, but your parents are letting you stay and move in with Karen. So what else is there?"

Brooke was caught by surprise. She really hadn't meant to say anything to Peyton and she decided that until she was sure, she wasn't going to be a drama queen about the whole situation. "Oh, it's nothing… you know the usual." Peyton gave her a questioning look, but didn't push the issue. Brooke looked down at her watch and gasped, "Sorry Goldilocks, but I gotta run. I'll be at your house later tonight, alright?"

"Yeah, alright." Peyton said, but by then Brooke was off walking briskly toward the parking lot.

"Brooke Davis?" Brooke was brought out of her trance as she heard the nurse call her name. "Brooke Davis?" the nurse repeated.

"Oh, uh… yeah. That's me." She looked up and smiled at the nurse, then grabbed her bag, stood up and walked toward the young blonde nurse. She followed the nurse back into one of the large, bright examination rooms. The nurse asked her some questions and then did a couple of blood tests.

Once it was all done, Brooke was left alone in the examination room. Her palms were sweaty and she could feel the tears building up in her hazel eyes. She was beyond nervous. What was she going to do? Was she going to have the baby? Would she give it up? The questions swirled around in her head and she didn't hear the nurse come back in the room.

"Brooke?" The young nurse asked. Her name tag said that her name was Annabelle. Brooke jumped when she heard her name.

"Yes, sorry."

"You're all done for now. We'll call you with your test results in the next couple of days."

"Alright, uh… thanks." Brooke got up and checked out, and then she walked out of the building. It sure was going to be a long couple of days.
