Chapter 6; Hoes over Bro's
When I woke up with a huge headache, I remembered last night. I was at Lucas', I had watched a movie with Lucas, I played a game with Lucas, became drunk with Lucas and more important, Lucas and I kissed. Wow I can't believe that really had happend. Okay, I kind of knew how he felt; but it was still a surprise.
I looked next to me and saw him. He was still asleep and he looked adorable. I didn't want to wake him so I thought it was a better idea to write a note.
Carefully I climbed out of bed and walked to his desk. I found a pen and paper and began to write:
Hey there Broody,
Guess you have a headache too huh? You're still asleep and I figured you don't want to wake up now so I let you sleep. Ehm, I'm going to Peyton so if you wanted to see me you have to wait till I'm back. Oh and I have my cellphone with me so you can call me anytime you want.. if you still want to talk to me. I think we have to talk about last night, don't know how you feel about it but I really want to know what you think. Please call me? (Normally I don't 'beg' so you know I really mean it)
Love,
Brooke aka Cheery
I smiled when I heard him snore a little bit. I looked at him one more time before I left the room.
Because I spent most of the week with Lucas; Peyton and I hadn't really talked much. And she being my best friend; I just had to tell her the whole story about me and Lucas. I decided that I should call her, cause I didn't want to stand there for a closed door.
"Peyton speaking."
"Hey P. Sawyer!"
"Oh hey Brooke. What's up?" She didn't sounded very good. Was there something wrong with her?
"I'm good, but how are you doing? Your voice is not very cheerful." I heard her chuckle on the other side and smiled because I had the power to make her smile.
"That's because I'm never very cheerful. It's not a coincidence that Lucas calls you Cheery."
"I know, I know. Speaking of Lucas, I have to talk to you about him. Something happened last night and I need your opinion. Can I come over?"
There was a pause and I heard her sighing.
"Ehm, I'm very busy at the moment. Could you come over another time?"
"Oh eh, sure."
And after I said that the line went dead. Did she just hang up on me? She had done that once or twice in the whole time I knew her. Something must be wrong. So I took my car and drove to Peyton's.
I knocked on the door and after a minute she opened it.
"Brooke! I thought I said I was busy." I ignored her and walked past her into the house.
"I don't care Peyt, this is important. Why did you just hang up on me? You haven't done that in ages! And by the way; Are you mad at me? Because I don't know what I did! Please tell me Peyton, and I want to know the truth cause I can see it when you lie. And.." While I rambled Peyton gave me a slap on my arm and interrupted me.
"Brooke chill! Since when do you ramble again? I thought you were over that. Anyways, I'm not mad at you it's just.."
She sighed and I could see she had a hard time telling me. I gave her a hand and squeezed it while I looked at her with a worried face.
"You can tell me Peyt, whatever it is."
She nodded her head and then broke down. Tears flowing while she sobbed with her hands covering her eyes.
At first I was shocked (When was the last time she cried infront of me?) but then a voice in my head told me I had to comfort her. So I gave her a hug and we stood there for a few minutes; she crying in my arms. I stroke her hair and I felt her relaxing in my arms.
After about ten minutes her crying stopped and she looked up at me.
"I'm sorry Brooke, I don't know what came over me."
"You don't have to be sorry. I'm here for you; as always and nothing is gonna change that. But could you please tell me what got you so upset?"
She inhaled deep and nodded her head slowly.
"It's just that; I know it sounds weird but the last few weeks I felt kind of lonely. With Jake being gone and you constantly being with Lucas; I just felt lonely. So I thought I could go to Haley or Nathan but they're also always together. And that's normal cause they're needing a lot time to figure things out about their marriage.. I've spend some time with the cheerleaders but after a few hours they were getting on my nerves so.. After that I was pretty much all alone. And it's just.. I miss you Brooke! You're my only real friend (yeah and Haley) and I just really misses you."
"Aww, P. Sawyer I missed you too! I'm sorry I was with Luke all the time. I promise it won't happen again! How about we're having a sleepover again, like we did with Haley and Anna? Only now just us?"
"Yeah, I like that."
So after I had taken my stuff from home (and made up an excuse about where I was last night and lucky me; Karen believed me) and told Karen that I would sleep at Peyton tonight, I found myself in Peyton's living room waiting for Peyton to pick a movie.
"Mr. And Mrs Smith?"
"No."
"The Notebook?"
"Tempting, but.. no"
"House of Wax?"
"God no! Not another scary movie."
"Ok?"
"Yeah well, Lucas and I watched some creepy movie last night." I know, I know. I still haven't told her about me and Lucas but I'm still waiting for the right moment to tell her.
"Oh, what about 'Meet the Fockers'?"
"Nah."
"Okay Brooke, this is it. How about you choose?"
"No no Peyton! I'm sorry, why don't you just pick a movie you really want to see and it's too bad if I don't want to see that movie."
Her face looked very happy and that's just what I wanted to see. I don't care if I have to watch another 'art' movie again.
"Okay how does 'National Treasure' sound?" Hmm, not good Peyton. But I didn't say that. If she really wanted to watch this movie then so did I.
"Good!" I said pretended to be cheerful.
"You don't have to pretend you like it Brooke."
"I'm not pretending. Okay a little but we're still gonna watch it. Maybe after ten minutes I'm really liking the story." That sounded not very convincing and Peyton heard it too considering the look she gave me.
"Okay maybe after 40 minutes or so."
She laughed and putted the dvd in the tv. Let the fun begin (and yeah, I was being sarcastic).
"It wasn't that bad, wasn't it?" Peyton asked me hopefully after the movie was over.
"No I have to admit it, it was pretty funny."
"Funny? The movie isn't supposed to be funny."
"It was funny! The 'nerd' was funny. I don't remember his name but he was kind of funny."
"Yeah you're right. I laughed a few times actually. But still, the movie isn't a comedian, it's a action/adventure."
"So, what do you want to do know? How about we go to the spa and get a special treatment or we could eat some Ben and Jerry's?"
"Nah, I'm okay. But this morning you called me cause something happened between you and Luke? What was that all about?"
This is it, I have to tell her now.
I swallowed and began my story.
"Well, Luke and I kind of kissed." I saw Peyton's look and continued before she could say anything.
"While we were drunk."
"Oh My God! That's great!"
Did she just said great?
"Great?" I asked a little unsure.
"Yeah! That's what you wanted right?"
"Ehm yeah but.."
"But what?"
"Don't you have to say that's like.. wrong from me to take advantage of him. Well actually, he kissed me but I got him drunk so.."
"Why would I say something like that?"
"Because Peyt, you always do."
"I used to tell you that yeah, but Brooke; you've changed. And not in a bad way. You're not the slutty cheerleader you were last year. How many times have you hooked up with a guy this summer?"
"Ehm.. not one actually."
"See? Do you remember how many guys you screwed last summer?"
"Peyt!" She gave me a 'what? It's a normal question!' look.
"I don't know how many.. to much to remember, that's for sure."
"Here you go. You've liked Lucas for a long time Brooke. It's not weird to have fun with him and get you both drunk. And you know what they say: when you're drunk you say things you wouldn't say when you're sober."
"Yeah, yeah you're right. Thanks Peyt, I really didn't know how you would react; but somehow you always find a way to surprise me."
"Well that's what best friends for. Hoes over Bro's?"
"Hoes over Bro's."
We hugged for a while and then I remembered something she said earlier.
"Wait Peyton, did you just call me a slut?"
"What no!"
"You said I wasn't the slutty cheerleader I was last year."
"No no I meant that you were eh.. Ehm.. Oh come on Brooke you were a slut last year! Don't try to deny it!"
"Peyton Sawyer!" I slapped her with a horrified look on my face.
"What? I'm just telling the truth! And Ouch by the way."
