gabyyy: We find out more about Brookes thought wayyy later in the chapter. GO BRUCAS!
OthfanAnna: Yes this is a BRUCAS and thank you. I'm writing as fast as I can so bear with me….
Nathan'sRaven: Thank you for the
advice, I had an alternate beginning but I decided it was too long and hard to
get through so I stuck with the one I have now. Eventually I will find that
happy medium. Thank you for taking so much time not only to read my story but
to give three long, honest reviews. And so you know right now I am not sure if
I am going to make another fanfic. I think I will just put my all in this one.
But any ideas are welcomed. I know the wording is strange, I also find myself
just listing off their actions instead of description but I am working on it.
This is once again my first fanfic so I am hoping others will cut me some
slack. Yes we find out about Haley's story and she becomes a main character,
but this isn't a NAYLEY. Sorry. Disclaimer? Isn't that where you say you don't
own the characters from one tree hill? Being sued isn't on my to-do list. I
like mystery and spoilers.
kelz3192:
I'll try and thank you for taking the time to reply on mine!
ficwriter4:Thank you. And honestly. Neither can I! It's about time someone started writing a Neyton! Even if it is a sucky one like mine!
All:
I am promoting this week from middle school to highschool. So I will be currently gone at parties and stuff. It might be awhile till I add more. Some of this might not make sense. Like Peytons idea to prove him wrong by seducing him, but saying that she can't seduce him. The point I am trying to make is Lucas feels betrayed by her leaving and isn't sure what to do about it. He has been a player lately but when he's around her he doesn't feel like one. But he keeps up the image anyways for some messed up revenge/love idea he has in his head. Brooke isn't allowed to seduce Lucas in terms of life and after all that has happened. And in order to seduce him she plays hard to get with a few planned pushers to push her towards him subtly. Keep in touch! It will get better, I swear!
Brooke stood in the doorway between the room and the bathroom. Lucas had recommended them a hotel they didn't even know existed. But here they were in a small, yet lavish hotel room with only two rooms. Peyton was in a pair of sweatpants and a tank top with her hair messily pulled up, laid over the double bed watching Two Weeks Notice on AMC, half listening to Brooke rant.
"So the first time we meet again he says 'Looking nice', like he never cheated on me with you. Or like we had never done it the night after grad. Like nothing ever happened. What a JERK!"
Brooke went slightly more into the bathroom and continued talking while putting a small dab of toothpaste on her brush. She looked at her reflection in the mirror all the while, talking back to the beautiful brunette with her hair up in a messy ponytail, whose shorts were extremely short and top extremely showing. She kept talking, though not so understandable even while brushing her teeth.
"fhwen he fwirts wiff meh. Ann I'm expeted to beh normah." Peyton shook her head from where she was sitting and Brooke spit into the sink and appeared in the doorway once again, still as agitated as ever.
"The nerve of that jerk!"
"You still like him…"
Brooke couldn't believe her ears. She was shocked. "WHAT? Peyton have you not been listening to me? The man is a jerk, he is unbearable."
Peyton smiled up at Brooke, her mind suddenly forming an idea. "Then why not get him back, and Felix at the same time?"
Brooke blinked and leaned against the doorway confused. "I really have no idea what you are talking about blondie."
Peyton smiled and put the TV on pause. "Look you feel Lucas used you. We both know Felix used you. You can get any guy, but the one you can't seduce is Lucas. And now he is rubbing it in your face. Prove him wrong." Seeing Brookes expression staring blankly at her she sighed and sat up straighter. "You want to get back at Lucas, and Lucas is practically challenging you, so you say. So once again from your perspective, I am not seeing any of this. Anyways, Seduce him. Get him back, you left he never came running, didn't even mention it. As if he was to good for you. Okay say Felix was to somehow find out about you and Lucas…You can kill two birds with one stone…" She enunciated her words and slowed them down so Brooke could read the next words off her lips if she wanted to, "Prove them wrong."
A slow smile curved on Brookes lips. She liked the sound of that. "Prove them wrong," she repeated, letting the words roll of her tongue. "Okay…"
Peyton smiled and leaned back on the headboard. Lucas had a lot coming to him, he was about to open his eyes and see what was staring him right back in the face. Yet Brooke had been as naive as Peyton had hoped, Lucas would turn the tables at any time and give Brooke a run for her money. Peyton hated being a conniving matchmaker but this time she couldn't help herself. "Tomorrow we will go over all the details, until then come watch the chick flick with me and go to sleep."
Brooke squealed and ran over to the bed. She looked at the TV, her smile getting wider at the moment. She climbed under the sheet and smiled at Peyton then turned her focus back to the TV. "The boys won't know what has hit them. That will teach them to mess with Brooke Davis." And with that she let herself get caught up in the movie, all the while the back of her mind hatching an evil plan.
Nathan opened the door to his house, at the exact moment the phone started ringing.
"Hey?"
"Guess who I just ran into and spent the whole day with?"
"I don't know bro…I'm hoping you will say Angelina Jolie, and get me an autograph, or a pair of her panties cuz-"
Lucas laughed and spun around to lean against the hotdog stand, still amazed at the way things turned out. "Even better. Try Peyton Sawyer and Brooke Davis…At least I believe that's still their names, neither one was married, that I am aware of."
Nathan burst out laughing and took off his sweaty jersey, resetting the phone against his year. Something yelled out at him, but he couldn't tell what. "Your bluffing..." For some reason a part of him wanted to believe this, another part felt something different entirely, but he wasn't quite sure. Curious, that must be it. He must be curious, neither of the girls meant anything to him. Sure they were his friends but….friends. That's it! He felt this way because they had been friends.
"I just saw them walk away, and let me tell you…Those fine asses are the same ones they were 3 years ago. Just bigger in many areas, and more womanly."
Nathan laughed. Something told him there was more to this situation then Lucas was telling him but he didn't care at the moment.
"I invited them to the wedding. By the way, when are you coming up?"
"I don't know, the day of the wedding?"
"Leave it to my little brother to procrastinate. Well, more babes for me, preferably the ones that just walked away…"
Nathan
felt like he had just been stabbed. Something about that did not
appeal to him. "Lucas, you harm those girls in any way….They are
our friends."
"Were are friends, and more for that matter.
But they left, proving they didn't care. So why should I. Besides I
can't help it if they can't keep away."
Lucas heard a sigh from the other line. "Whatever, do what you want. I'll be there eventually. I've got to go. Bye."
Lucas hung up his phone and looked at it awhile. It didn't feel like he wanted to jump the girls bones, or get revenge. He wanted answers. Why, two of the most important girls in his life, just left. He couldn't tell that to Nathan, though something told him that's what Nathan wanted to hear. Lucas couldn't admit he was still affected by something that happened 5 years ago. Let Nathan, and everyone else for that matter think what they want. Maybe it would be easier to pretend to be a pervert. He could easily pass as one, heck he was one just five minutes before the girls arrived. But not with Brooke. With Brooke he wanted to be someone different, that wasn't a good sign. Lucas shook his head, he was being a romantic loser. Convincing himself to think about it all later, when he was in a better mind, he headed towards his hotel to get some much needed sleep.
Nathan wasn't much better. Back...Who would have thought? Not letting himself give it a second thought, other then anticipation. Trying to imagine what his own revisit would result in, he let out a light laugh. If only someone would have told him then what was to happen, he wouldn't be laughing.
"Let's go over the plan again."
On a sunny morning, Tree Hill could pass for perfect. The sun hit all the right spots and happiness could be spotted everywhere. The morning breeze tasted of citrus and the peace lingering around them. But any feelings of being home would have been disturbed by the truth of knowing in exactly 2 hours a reunion with the infamous Lucas Scott would occur. Both girls, well Brooke, was worrying. Peyton just watched, trying not to laugh at the irony of it all. Brooke was nearly losing her head, when she was the one supposed to be using Lucas. She had changed her outfit 6 times, before putting on a low cut blouse and a pair of citizens. She would have changed a 7th had Peyton not rushed her out the door. Sitting on the curb outside of the café they watched cars go past and talked about the past, before finally letting the conversation linger on the present. Brooke had already 'gone over' her plan 5 times, but somehow thought that by going over it again and again she was sure not to forget.
"Okay Brooke, what is 'the plan'? As if I don't already know."
"Shut up Peyton. You know I love you. Okay so Lucas arrives, I play hard to get."
"Why are you playing hard to get again?"
"Because remember Theresa? She ogled all over him." Changing the tone of her voice she went for a whiney voice. "Oh Lucas notice me, Oh Lucas screw me, Oh Lucas you look sooooo hot."
"Then why don't you," Peyton thought for a moment before following Brooke's lead and changed her voice an active higher. "'Oh Lucas' him?
"Because she didn't win him! Guys only like girls that don't seem interested. They like to think they have to upper hand and are in control. Make him think he is doing himself a favor by longing after me. He will flirt, talk like a pervert, I will pretend I don't care, but where flashy clothes, get drunk, do the occasional 'accidental' thing with him. Finally I will let him think he wooed me into bed, and push him to the point where he 'falls'. Then ditch him on the spot."
"Brooke this isn't quite what I had in mind. Why are you trying to hurt him. I –"
Peyton never got to finish that thought because right ahead of them, Lucas was walking right over.
Spoilers: Brooke tries to carry out her plan, another date.
