Merry Christmas! Well almost Christmas. So here's an update. Hope you all like it. Read and Review. Please? Lol
Brooke got out of the shower, wrapped herself in a towel and walked into her room. As she walked into the room, she glanced at her clock. Damnit to freakin hell! I was supposed to meet Sam half an hour ago. What a fuckin wonderful day this has been. Brooke picked up her phone and called Sam.
Sam's phone went right to voice mail. "Hey Sam, it's Brooke, I'm so sorry. It's been one hell of a day. So umm maybe we can get together tomorrow? Alright just call me back whenever."
Alright one screw up taken care of one to go. Well maybe it's more like two because I need to talk to Taylor about it and make sure she knows that it meant nothing. And I have to tell Haley. Brooke let out a heavy sigh at the thought of telling Haley what had happened. She's going to be so pissed. She's going to think I don't love her. Why Brooke? Why did I have to be so stupid?
I have to go see Brooke. Taylor was right. Whoa did I just think that? Haley thought as she drove herself to Brooke's house. Do I act like I don't know what happened and give her a chance to explain? Or do I bring it up? Yeah stalker Haley you bring it up that won't seem weird at all. Ok ok let her bring it up that's good. I bet their whole little thing started long ago. Haley tried to shake the thought from her head but for some reason it just wouldn't leave. I mean they are always very flirty with each other but that could be because they are both very flirty people. Gosh what am I thinking? Brooke would never cheat on me. She loves me. Doesn't she?
Haley pulled up to Brooke's house and went inside. She found Brooke still standing in her room with nothing but a towel wrapped around her body. Holy hell. Haley thought as she looked on wide eyed at her ex. Brooke turned around to see Haley staring. A small blush crept onto her face.
"Hey," Brooke said not making eye contact with the other girl.
"Hi there," Haley said walking into her room. "You gonna put some clothes on or stay like that all day? Because let me tell you . . . that," Haley said pointing at the towel clad wet-headed girl in front of her, "does nothing for the just friends thing we're trying to do," Haley said laughing. Dear God why does she have to be so incredibly sexy?
"Oh well...I guess I can put some clothes on. I mean I don't want you losing your self-control or anything. Wait who am I kidding I'd love for that to happen but I'll put something on anyway." Brooke said with a wink.
Haley shook her head and sat on the other girl's bed waiting for her to change in the bathroom.
Ok you have to tell her now. Brooke thought as she walked out of the bathroom. "Haley," Brooke started in a soft tone, "something happened today."
"What kind of something?" Haley asked.
"The kind of something that I really don't want to tell you but I need to tell you."
"Ok."
"Taylor came over," Brooke said looking down as tears came to her eyes, "and I well we kinda kissed in the pool."
Haley stared into Brooke's eyes. She already knew this but for some reason hearing it from Brooke, seeing the look in her eyes made it hurt so much worse. "You did what?" Haley asked in one of those low tones that people can only get when they are extremely upset or mad. "You kissed her and you weren't even going to tell me?"
Brooke looked up totally shocked by the question. "What do you mean I wasn't going to tell you? I just told you didn't I?"
"Yeah but it took you long enough."
"Well I would have told you as soon as you got here but I kinda needed to put some clothes on, don't you think?" Brooke said starting to get a little annoyed with the situation.
"You know what it doesn't even matter because I already knew."
"You already knew?" Brooke asked confusion written all over her face.
"Yeah I knew. I stopped by earlier because I couldn't wait to hang out with you. To work on us. But when I got here you looked a little busy. And by busy I mean kissing Taylor." Haley said looking straight into Brooke's eyes. Brooke wanted to look away but she just couldn't. "You know what the worst part about it was, Brooke? It wasn't that I saw her kissing you. I expected that from her. She's been crushing on you for a while now. It was the fact that you didn't even try and stop her. Did you? No, you didn't you just went with it. Did you even want her to stop? Did you Brooke? Or has this little affair been going on the entire time we've been together and I was too stupid to see it." Haley said tears now streaming down her face. She couldn't stand looking at Brooke anymore. Every time she looked at her all she could picture was she and Taylor in the pool.
Brooke was totally stunned by Haley's outburst. "Haley, I'm sorry. I know that isn't good enough. I know that it's nowhere near good enough. But I swear that was the first time I have ever ever kissed Taylor. I promise. It all just happened so fast. I don't even know what happened." Brooke placed her hands on both sides of Haley's face to make her look into her eyes. "I love you Haley. I would never do anything to hurt you. I swear."
Haley was now looking directly into Brooke's eyes. She could tell that Brooke was telling the truth but that didn't help any. "Brooke you're right. Sorry isn't good enough because it doesn't make it hurt any less."
Brooke couldn't believe what she was hearing. "You've got to be kidding me right now. I understand that you're upset and I understand that what I did wasn't right. But Haley...we aren't a couple right now. I'm not yours. You don't own me. You have no right to act like I just cheated on you. No right at all." Brooke said starting to get upset.
"You know, just because we aren't together doesn't mean that I love you any less." Haley shot back.
"You have a hell of a way of showing it."
"You're right Brooke. I should just leave. I hope you and Taylor are very happy together." Haley said walking out of the room.
"Hales, wait!" Brooke called after the other girl.
Haley stopped dead in her tracks and spun around. "What?"
"I really am sorry. I do love you. I always will."
"I love you too, Brooke. But it doesn't seem that love is helping us very much right now does it? Because we just keep hurting each other over and over."
"What happened to us?" Brooke asked sighing.
"I have no idea, no idea," Haley replied shaking her head.
"Maybe...maybe we should take a little break from each other. I mean school is out now. We won't be forced to see each other every day. Maybe it's best if we take some time."
"Yeah...maybe you're right." Haley said stepping toward Brooke pulling her into a hug. "I'm gonna miss you Brookie."
"You too, baby."
Yay! The end of the update. Ok so I know this seems to happen a lot. They talk and fight. Sorry that's just how it works for them right now. I promise on my love of Baley that happier times are coming. So yeah. I hope you liked it.
