Chapter 2: Confrontations
The nervous blonde awaited the arrival of her boyfriend and his friends. This would be the first time she would be meeting them and she hoped to god that she make a good impression. She ordered another cup of coffee and heard her boyfriend's voice in the distance. He and his dark haired friend seemed to be mocking the brunette next to them, she noticed the quiet blonde boy crack a smile and then she saw the brunette look towards the blonde and give him a genuine smile back. They walked into the café and the blonde stood up. She smiled at her boyfriend and he smiled back when he noticed her he left his friends and walked towards his girlfriend.
"Hey" he said embracing her and giving her a small peck on the lips. "Hey back" she responded with big smile.
"Who's the bimbo" asked Brooke sending a glare towards the blonde. "Brooke" Nathan warned "He really likes her so do not by any means sabotage this" He stated.
Jake walked towards his friends girlfriend in tow, "Guys this is Peyton my girlfriend" he said. He looked at his friends hoping they would approve.
"Hi I'm Nathan" he responded when he noticed that Brooke was making no effort to move. "This is Lucas and that's Brooke" he added.
"Nice to meet you guys" said a nervous Peyton. Brooke ignored her and sat down in the chair farthest from Peyton. Jake pretended not to notice as he pulled Peyton's chair out for her and found a seat next to her. Nathan and Lucas sat between Brooke and Peyton hoping that she wouldn't create a scene.
"So Nathan, I heard that you tutor on your spare time. Do you enjoy it?" Peyton asked hoping to break the ice.
"I love tutoring. It's a great feeling when your student finally understands something." Nathan said passionately.
"Um, Brooke Jake tells me that you're on the cheerleading squad. Are you trying out for captain?" Peyton asked nervously
"What? Oh yeah, sure. I'm bored, I'm going to go order wanna come with me Lucas?" asked Brooke not waiting for an answer. She dragged Lucas by the arm to the counter where Deb was offering a customer a cup of coffee.
"Hey Debbie" Brooke greeted
"Hey yourself, listen are you coming over for dinner I cooked your favori—"Deb stopped when her eyes landed on Lucas. She gave them a small smile and excused herself.
"Nathan, sweetheart, can I talk to you privately for a minute?" she asked him sweetly
"Sure mom." Deb led him out of the café and crossed her arms over her chest.
"What?" he asked innocently
"You know what. You know how I feel right now. And brining him here doesn't help." Deb said
"Mom, you have no right to be mad. Dad didn't know about him and no one told him. I'm just trying to help him out. He grew up not knowing who his dad was and his mom just died. Stop being so selfish and think about how he feels." Nathan scolded as he went back to join Jake and Peyton.
"What was that all about?" Jake asked when Nathan returned. Nathan looked at Peyton.
"Don't worry Jake already filled me in on the situation." Peyton reassured him.
"My mom has a problem with this whole Lucas thing. She's really hurt but it's not my dad's fault." Nathan explained.
"What do you think they're talking about over there?" Brooke asked as she stole another one of Lucas' French fries. Lucas merely shrugged. His mind was on Deb. She hadn't come back into the café and she looked upset. Is it possible that she has a problem with him being in Tree Hill?
"Hello! Earth to Lucas! Are you listening to me?" Brooke waved her hand in front of his face for emphasis.
"Oh sorry Brooke, I was just thinking." Lucas explained. She gave him a grin and stole another one of his fries.
"You mean brooding." She said playfully. She frowned when she didn't get a response back, "So you wanna tell me why you're brooding " she asked in all seriousness.
Lucas looked over at her and smiled, "nothing" he said. "What's there to do for fun around here?" He asked.
Brooke smiled, "Well there's parties and...yes that's about it " she finished smiling. "So what's your story" asked Brooke hoping he would open up to her.
Lucas looked at her and let out a chuckle "well lets see I grew up with my mom and never knew of my father then she died last week and now I'm here" he said coldly
Brooke wasn't sure what to say "I'm sorry… if it makes you feel any better my parents don't love me" she added with a small chuckle of her own. Lucas looked over and noticed she wasn't so cheery anymore "I'm sorry" he stated. "Yea me to" was her response. There was a comfortable silence between them as they looked at each other "Brooke!" Nathan yelled in the background
"We should head back" said Brooke "yea" responded Lucas not wanting to.
