Chapter Four: The World You Love

"Girls?"

Haley visibly flinched at the sound coming through the door. Taylor squeezed her hand tighter, giving her sister encouragement.

The door opened slowly and Lydia James walked in not caring that neither daughter wanted her there. "We need to talk."

"I think you've said enough," Haley told her bitterly.

"Haley," Lydia sighed. "You're going to have to deal with this sooner or later."

Haley glared at her mother, "I was hoping that sooner didn't mean twenty minutes after I found out."

Taylor raised her eyebrows. When did her innocent baby sister get such a mouth? "Haley."

"What Taylor?" Haley turned from her glaring match to look at her sister. "I just can't believe that after everything that she just told me she thinks she can just barge up here like nothing happened."

"You are still my daughter Haley," Lydia jumped in. "You may not like that right now, but it's true and now you're going to have to accept the fact that Mark Davis is your father."

Haley simply nodded in defeat as she stared at her mother numbly. Everything had just been thrown at her in five minutes and it was a whole lot to take in at this point. "And everything goes back to how it was before?"

"I don't know sweetie," Lydia sat down on the edge of the bed glad that Haley seemed to be calming down. "Mark says he's away a lot so maybe Brooke might want to come and live here."

"Why would she do that? To spend time with you?" Taylor glanced up at her mother in surprise, "I practically raised Haley by myself!" She shook her head at her mother. "I don't think you were ever here longer than a week at a time when Haley was growing up."

Lydia's eyes widened before she realized what her daughter was saying was true. "I guess that's true."

"You guess?" Haley laughed, "You know that's true!" She stopped laughing. "I don't care if you're around anymore, I only have one more year left before I'm off to college, and I'm fine living by myself, I've been doing it for the past two years, why change the routine now?"

"Haley," Lydia's eyes pleaded with her to listen. "I know that you're bitter with the fact that I didn't tell you about Brooke but Mark and I agreed not to even bring it up unless something forced us to." She paused and grabbed Haley's free hand in her own. "And I know that I haven't been around, but I'm here now."

Haley sat quietly as her mother's words circled around in her mind. She glanced at Taylor before looking at her mom and getting up from her bed. "It's too late."

Lucas glanced at Brooke from the corner of his eye before settling on the road in front of him. She was being uncharacteristically quiet as she leaned her head against the window watching the scenery pass by. Finally he couldn't take the silence anymore. "Brooke?"

Brooke had been waiting for him to say something, do something to find out what was going on through her mind but truth was she didn't even know what she was thinking herself. Everything had been thrown at her in less than five seconds. Her world that she thought she knew had just crumbled and now though as cheesy at it sounds, she was struggling to find out who she was in this tangled mess. "Yeah?"

"Are you okay?" Lucas focused his eyes on her as they came to a red light. "You seem kinda out of it."

"I just…I just want to go home," She felt like all her energy had left her and all she wanted to do was curl up on her bed.

For the first time since they had started dating, Lucas had never seen her like this. She was usually perky but now she just seemed hollow as she continued to stare out the window. He nodded slowly at her words and got her to her house within a few minutes.

"Thanks for the ride," Brooke told him as she grabbed her purse and opened the door. She turned to him and gave him a small kiss on the side of his mouth before getting out and walking slowly up the walkway before letting herself in. She watched him drive away through the window before turning back and starting up her stairs.

As she got up slowly, she realized her mother was sitting alone on one of the living room chairs reading a magazine. Brooke eyed her before setting down her stuff and walking back down.

"Brooke?" Gloria Davis looked up in surprise. "What's wrong?"

Brooke just shook her head as she stared at the blonde, blue-eyed woman in front of her and mentally smacked herself for not realizing the difference between them sooner. "Dad told me."

"Told you what?" Gloria put down her magazine and stood up, stepping closer to her daughter. Though she wasn't home that often, she really did love the girl standing in front of her, even if she didn't always show it. "What are you talking about Brooke?"

Brooke's eyes searched her mother's before turning away. "He told me about Lydia James."

"Oh," Gloria sat back down in surprise. "I bet you want an explanation then, you always did hate being left in the dark."

Brooke's head shot up at the words. "Why didn't you tell me?" She took a step back. Suddenly her feeling of indifference left as anger took over. "I wish somebody would have had the decency to tell me that my life was pretty much a complete lie."

Gloria sighed. Brooke was always one for the dramatics. "It's nothing really."

"Nothing?" Brooke exclaimed, throwing her hands in the air. "How is it nothing? Here I was, alone in this house, my supposed parents no where around, when I could have had a real family, when I could have had siblings?"

"Don't be so overdramatic Brooke," Gloria eyed her, emotionless. "What makes you think you could have had a real family? Lydia gave you to us, shouldn't that make up for anything?"

Brooke felt as if she had been kicked in the stomach. She hadn't even thought of that. She looked at her supposed mother one more time before turning around and leaving the house with no destination in mind. She slammed the door before beginning her journey of just walking around. She thought of Peyton and Lucas before shaking her head to herself. She didn't want to talk to anyone, especially her friends.

Suddenly her thoughts turned to Haley. Haley, her twin sister. Brooke had to smile at the thought. She always wished that she had a twin, someone to share everything with. Sure she did that with Peyton but that was different.

This was just crazy. It was like a plotline out of a soap opera, this couldn't be happening to her. Suddenly she looked up surprised to where her feet had taken her. She stared out into the ocean as she stepped onto the docks, watching the waves come to the shore. It was pretty desolate except for the lone person sitting on one of the benches further down. As Brooke focused clearly, she could see the figure and knew instantly who it was.

She walked over quietly and sat down, not saying anything. Haley didn't look surprised to see her. She turned to her new sister slowly while continuing to cry. This was insane to her too. Brooke listened to the crying before pulling Haley in for a hug and began to cry with her. Their lives had changed completely but at this point, they were both glad they had someone there that knew what they were going through.

Haley clung to Brooke tightly and she could feel Brooke holding on to her just as tightly as they continued to just let their emotions out while holding on to each other. Now it was just the two of them against everybody. They hadn't been that close before, they had barely even spoken but now they had a bond, not a close one yet but something that wouldn't let them ever turn against the other.

Finally Haley pulled away, wiping her tears as she stared out into the water, not catching Brooke's eyes. "Thanks."

"Hey," Brooke shrugged, also wiping away her tears. "That's what sisters are for."

Haley smiled at that before turning back to the girl sitting next to her. "Unbelievable, huh?"

"Yeah," Brooke agreed. She spared a glance at Haley. "Crazy." She wrung her hands nervously. This was all new to her. "So what's gonna happen now?"

"I don't know," Haley caught her eye, she could tell that Brooke didn't know what to do and honestly, she had no idea either, something neither of them were familiar with. "But I'm willing to give us a start."

Brooke grinned through her tears, "Yeah, well you had no choice."

"I guess not," Haley couldn't help but giggled at the thoughts. "Who would have thought, huh?" She shook her head, "Never in a million years did I ever think this would happen."

Brooke nodded, "It's not so bad though, at least us being related." She shrugged, "Everything else is probably gonna end up weird, but at least we'll be together."

"Yeah," Haley grinned as she linked their arms together. "In a way, this is kinda cool."

Brooke smiled, "Yeah it is." She could help but let out a laugh. "I can't believe we're twins. Seriously that really is cool." She could feel Haley nodding as they sat there quietly.

"What are we gonna do?" Haley's voice cut through the silence that had taken place. "About our parents. You think we're gonna have to move? And if so, which one of us?"

Brooke's eyes lit up as an idea came across her mind. "Maybe we can get an apartment, just the two of us!"

Haley couldn't help but smile at Brooke's enthusiasm but she frowned a couple minutes later. "They'll never let us do that." She shrugged. "Besides Mom said she'll be staying here from now on, that means she'll want us close to her."

Brooke sighed in disappointment. "Dad's gonna be leaving soon I bet. He was never one to stay around one place too long."

"How is that gonna work out?" Haley asked quietly. She looked out at the now darkened sky. "Am I gonna have to call him dad and you call her mom? Are we gonna do family outings?"

Brooke couldn't help but laugh at those thoughts. "Yeah right. Nice try though, extra points for actually thinking that'll happen."

Haley grinned at the words. "True." She felt Brooke lean her head against her shoulder. "In a way, I'm kinda happy that this happened. I got a twin out of it."

"Yeah," Brooke nodded happily. "And I've always liked you Tutor girl. Even though you and I never really ever had a conversation that lasted more than five minutes." She snuggled up to Haley as the cold air started to get to her.

"Well Tigger, all that that just changed." Haley spoke the words confidently. "Because now we kind of have to get along." She felt Brooke begin to laugh. "I do have one thing that I really want to know though."

Brooke knitted her eyebrows. "And what's that?"

"I wonder who's older?"

Brooke looked up to see Haley's amused expression before giggling. "I'm so totally older than you."

Haley rolled her eyes but didn't say anything else. Brooke laid her head back down on Haley's shoulder as the girls sat in a comfortable silence, their arms still linked, each dreading going back to their respective house and each lost in thought as the sky grew darker. This turned out a lot better than either of them thought it would be. It led them to each other.
