Don't own anything

Chapter 14; Baby Alarm

The sun burned on my already tanned skin and when I looked up I saw a beautiful blue sky without any gray clouds. Yes, today is a perfect day to tan and just relax and chill lying in the pool or next to it on a lounger. And what is Brooke Davis doing on this perfect day? Buying paint and… other stuff at the mall (an almost empty mall) with Haley James Scott. Not that I mind though, this was my idea. Well, not exactly cause I'd rather do it with Luke but Haley seemed really upset.

"So Tutor Wife; what's up with you?" I asked her while we totally ignored my favorite shop. This better be worth it.

"Nothing. Just.. Tired I guess."

"Liar. Come on Hales, tell me what's really going on. I don't know you very well but enough to know that you're lying. You can tell me! I promise I won't tell a soul."

She gave me an eyebrow raised look cause she knew I loved to gossip. But my puppy dog eyes worked on her (just like it works on everybody) and she sighed searching for the right words to tell.

"I don't know where to start. It's really big and I haven't told anyone this so you have to promise me two things." I nodded my head quickly practically dying cause I wanted to know her 'secret' so bad.

"One: don't freak out cause it's freaking me out already and you have to support me and two: don't tell anyone this; you even can't tell Lucas."

"Yeah yeah, come on spill!" I grabbed her arm excited and waited with big eyes and eyebrows raised.

"God, why am I telling you this out of all people." She murmered and took one last deep breath. When she was about to tell her story, my cellphone began to vibrate in my purse. She looked a little relieved and I just ignored it.

"You should get that. Maybe it's important."

"Well this is more important, just ignore it." But Haley remained silent so I just grabbed my cellphone in frustration. It read 'out of area' so I was pretty curious wanting to know who was calling me.

"Hello? This is Brooke!" I didn't get an answer but if I listened very good, I could hear someone breathing.

"Hello, who's this?" After asking it three times more the line went dead. Hmm, this was freaky.

"No answer?"

"Nope." I said a little absent cause my head was still with the phone call.

"Weird."

"Yeah. But hey, you wanted to tell me something."

"Eh no it's nothing really, come on let's buy stuff for Luke's apartment. That's why were here." She said probably wanting to change the subject.

"No Hales, come on! I want to know and you promised me you would tell me this cause I made a promise I wouldn't tell anyone or freak out."

"Okay. Let's just sit over there." We walked to the nearest bench and again she took a deep breath.

"Well, Nathan and I got into a big fight a while ago. It was stupid, I don't remember why we were fighting. Anyway, we were yelling at eachother and then I ran out of the room, slamming the door behind. In the beginning I thought it was a good idea to walk a little bit till I calmed down but it then I saw this bar and.. Without thinking I walked in and ordered a beer. Of course, the bartender asked for my ID and I freaked out but then there was this guy who said it was okay and he paid for the beer. I said thank you and then we started talking. He seemed really nice and he was the perfect destraction to keep myself from thinking about Nathan. Well, after two hours or so I was drunk, and he seemed pretty wasted too."

She paused and I just sat there in shock. Would there be more?

"Please promise me Brooke you won't freak out."

"Well that depends on what you're going to tell."

"Brooke.."

"Sorry, I promise I won't freak out."

"Okay uhm.. Well the next day I woke up with a hungover and on top of it.. I woke up in a room that wasn't mine."

"Haley! Please tell me you didn't…"

She started to cry and nodded slowly.

"I slept with him Brooke! And I don't remember anything! I don't know what to do and if Nathan's gonna find out he's going to freak out!"

"More like.. Being mad and angry and pissed at you for a very very long time. I don't know if he ever forgives you."

"Please Brooke, don't make this harder. And.. there's more." She wispered the last part and the tears were flowing down her cheeks. She sobbed so hard and I gave her an encouraging hug.

"More?"

"I'm late."

"What!"

"Late, like.. late. I don't know what to do Brooke! What if I'm pregnant? Then I'm not sure if Nathan's the father!"

"God, this is so messed up." It was the only thing I could say. She was in the same situation I was a very long time ago. The only difference was that I was sure it was Lucas'.

"Tell me about it."

"Did you take a test?" She shakes her head no. "Okay. Ehm, why don't we go to the Drug Store. We'll do it together, maybe it's a false alarm." She just nodded slowly and wiped her tears away.

So instead of going to the decorationshop, we were heading to the Drug Store. Haley was still shaking and I just comforted her by rubbing her back. I know exactly what she's going trough, it's hard. It's really hard. Maybe she would feel better if I told her my story? I looked at her and saw her crying softly, walking like a zombie. Wow, she looks miserable.

"You know, I know what you're going trough."

"Huh?"

"I've been there. In your situation I mean."

She looked shocked, looking at me with big brown, hazel eyes and an open mouth.

"When? How?"

"It was a long time ago.. When Lucas and I broke up cause he cheated on me with Peyton. So that made it all much more harder. We went to the doctor together and took a test. It said pregnant."

"Oh My God Brooke! Why didn't you tell me this? So.. You decided to take an abortion?"

"No no! It was just a scare, thank God. I can't be a mom, not now, I'm too young. And you're are too Haley, I know it won't help you feel better; but what are you going to do when you're really pregnant?"

"I don't know."

"Are you going to tell Nathan?"

"I don't know."

"What about your parents?"

"I don't know."

"What about.."

"I don't know okay! Geez Brooke, I don't know! This is all too much, I can't handle it."

"I'm sorry. Come on, let's get this over with and then we go to my place."

The Drug Store was also almost empty, just one weird, fat women behind the counter and two other people who were buying stuff. Haley was pretty nervous so I just bought the pregnancy test. The woman looked at us if we were crazy and I just smiled at her ignoring her mean comment "Starting young huh? Kids these days, don't know how to use the right protection."

So when we were home, Haley went to the bathroom while I just waited and trying to read a magazine, but I failed with that one. I was too busy to think about all of this. After ten minutes she came out with a pale, horror look on her face. I stood up and gave her a hug.

"And?"

"I'm not pregnant."

She showed me the stick and I saw two blue stripes.

"Pff, you must be so relieved. This is great Haley! But, if I were you; go to the doctor anyway, just to be sure."

"Yeah, you're probably right." She still sounded a little weak.

"Of course, I always am! Now come on, we've got to celibrate this."

"Ehm, I'm not sure."

"Oh come on, it's going to be fun, just you and me."

"I think you should call Lucas first, he's probably worried."

"Oh yeah, your right. Okay, ehm.. I'll be right back."

She nodded and I felt all of a sudden very sorry for her. I think she just wanted to be alone for a while, thinking about what just had happenend; like an aftershock. And then there's poor Nathan. He'd be crushed if he hears this. Everything was finally going good with him. Now he's going to be heartbroken again. Wow, Tutor Wife; you screw up a lot.

Deciding that it was better if I called Luke right now, otherwise I would kill Haley later; I picked up the phone and dialed his phonenumber.

"Hey Cheery. I was wondering when you decided to call me."

"Hey hot stuff, yeah sorry; there's some stuff going on right now so we won't go to your place later, but just hang out here. I hope that's okay with you? We'll buy the stuff later and decorate an other day okay?"

"Oh ehm, okay. Is everything alright?"

Aw, he is so sweet when he's concerned.

"Ehm, yeah. Sooo.. I'll talk to you later. Sorry if I ruined your day. Love you, bye."

"It's okay, love you too. Bye."

I walked back to my room and saw a sleeping Haley lying on my bed. I smiled a little and shut the door. Maybe it's a good idea if I visit Luke while she's sleeping…

First a quick note and then I would be gone.

Hey Tutor Wife,

I'm going to Luke's right now. I just wanted to let you sleep, you looked so peacefull and you probably need it soo.. Bye

Love, Brooke

Ps: I won't tell a soul

I looked at her one more time and then grabbed my jacket and took of. This day sucks.

Okay, I'm not sure if you guys liked this or not. I don't know if the decorating is ever coming up, cause everytime I try; I get another (better) idea. There's some serious drama coming up, not only with Haley but also with Brooke (and maybe Lucas). Thanks for the reviews and please review again cause I get the feeling you guys just read it but don't review.

Love,

Helen
