A/N: yea.. I know I suck…went practically the whole summer without updating. I'm really sorry about that… but please read this chapter and REVIEW! If I get more reviews maybe I'll get more motivation! ( Okay here it is…
The next morning Brooke awoke to rain once again. It was really coming down hard, and it showed no signs
of letting up anytime soon. Brooke sighed and rolled over to see what time it was. Only 8:43. What was
wrong with her these days? Normally she could sleep until noon if she got the chance to. She decided to just
get up and get ready for what she had a feeling would be a day filled with Jenny crying, screaming, and
having more emotional breakdowns. Although Jenny was emotional, she wasn't extreme for what she had
been going through at all. But to talk through all of Jenny's issues that they were going to try to get out on
the table.. Well no teenage girl is going to just sit there and let you tell her how to change her life without
putting up a fight. Brooke sighed again, and climbed out of bed and walked down stairs. She stopped by
Jenny's room, and peeked in through the crack of the door. To her surprise, Jenny was sitting up in bed, just
quietly staring out into space, looking like she was thinking. Brooke slowly pushed the door open and came
and sat down on the bed next to her "hey babe… how'd you sleep?" Brooke asked her. "Okay I guess"
Jenny said softly. She snuggled up next to Brooke, and without a word began crying, the sobs racking her
body. Brooke really didn't know what to think this time. She hadn't said more then five words to her, and
Jenny was already cracking even more then the day before. "What's wrong sweetie? Shh… its okay" She
felt like she was consoling a two year old, and desperately wished she could just go get Jenny a cookie and
everything would be okay. " God I'm such a basket case" Jenny sniffled out. " I seriously feel like all I can
do is cry" "Don't worry…Its gonna be okay I promise" Brooke said, trying to comfort her. She really
couldn't think of anything else to say. "How about you get ready and get dressed, and then we can hit the
mall?" Brooke asked, hoping this might give her a little enthusiasm. " That sounds cool I guess" Jenny said,
wiping the tears away. "Great! Now get ready and I'll meet you downstairs in an hour mmkay?" Jenny
nodded and Brooke left.
About an hour later Brooke was downstairs, clad in an adorable tight, black tank top with bebe written on it,
her seven jeans (the 3rd and final pair that she had brought.. she seriously hoped that the washing machine
had an instruction manual…) and her marc Jacobs boots. Having her job and her salary definitely had its
perks sometimes! She sat at the counter, drinking her coffee and checking her voicemail messages, waiting
for Jenny to grace her with her presence. Brooke decided that Jenny might be awhile, so she decided to
make some business calls. About 15 minutes into her second one, Jenny waltzed down the stairs. Brooke
gave her the five minute signal without really looking up, so Jenny just shrugged, and went to watch T.V.
Brooke was getting bored listening to her assistant, Lauren, give her financial statistics that she could've
cared less about when she finally looked up at Jenny to see what she was wearing. She slightly gawked at
Jenny's "choice of apparel". She was wearing a light pink EXTEMLY short skirt, through which you could
just make out the outline of her dark pink thong. That alone made Brooke cringe. She also adorned a white
spaghetti strap top, showing about 2 inches of that fake tanned stomach. Her hair was teased and messily
curled today, but she still had on her silver hoops and her little diamond stud in her left cartilage. Brooke
knew all of this shouldn't have surprised her, but she was still slightly shocked. She hung up her call about 3
minutes later, grabbed her bag and Jake's car keys, and yelled to Jenny that they were leaving. Jenny stood
up, grabbed her own bag and followed Brooke out the door. Brooke got into the drivers seat of Jake's
Lexus SUV, and waited for Jenny, who had run bag in to grab her phone that Brooke had left in the kitchen
from the previous night. After she got in the passenger side, Brooke pulled out and they started out on the
twenty-five minute ride to the mall. There was no way Brooke Davis was going to the little nothing Tree Hill
mall, so they were driving out to Charlotte for the day. The first five minutes of the ride were quiet. Finally
Brooke said "hey there's a Starbucks up ahead… do you wanna stop and get a muffin or something?" "Nah
I'm not hungry" Jenny replied, refusing to look Brooke in the eye. "Baby you need to eat something… we're
gonna shop 'till we drop! You need that energy" Brooke laughed. " I'm just not hungry, okay?" Jenny said
defensively. "Jenny, you can't starve yourself!" Brooke said haughtily. Nice way to hit it right on the head,
She thought to herself. Oh well… had to happen sooner or later. " It's seriously just not safe!" She
continued, the anger starting to build up. " You seriously have no idea what doing this to yourself now can
do to you in the future sweetie! You could not be able to have kids, always have messed up eating habits… I
mean hell I'm surprise you even got your period because after this goes on for too long, that will probably
stop for awhile too! It's not healthy!" Brooke finished her ranting. Jenny just looked at her, with the big
brown eyes, all glazed over. "It's none of your business and for your information, I'm fine! Okay? Just
because I have a screwed up boyfriend or ex-boyfriend or whatever he is now, and sometimes drink and
have been confused about a bunch of stuff lately, doesn't mean that I'm screwed up all the way around,
okay?" Jenny said angrily. Brooke should've known that this was going to happen. Jenny was a normal
teenage girl, and what Brooke knew about anorexia, none of them admit, or even know, that they have it. The
other stuff wasn't good, and even if she was a little young for it and it was a little extreme, it was still just
teenage drama. This wasn't. This was serious, and if Brooke couldn't help her, and even if she could, she
would probably need to give Jake just a little bitty hint that his little girl might need more then a little help.
