Don't worry those out there; I'm not putting Brooke with Jake, now breathe. This is at the request of those who wanted me to update so this is for you guys. luv y'all. this is only a tiny segment, more in depth chaps to come. But who will i put with who, it's up to you guys!
Brooke sat outside the school walls wondering why she never caught a break, why things never seemed to go her way. The grass lay out in front of her perfect unlike her love life. Brooke thought to herself that she should have seen it coming but when Lucas broke up with her yesterday and told her how he felt about Haley it was about as shocking as getting hit by a dump truck. She sniffed as she blinked away her tears fearing that love would never love her back.
Jake saw Brooke sitting all alone on that bench next to that whacked out blue rock. Holding Jenny he realised how he hoped that years from now his daughter wouldn't be sitting all alone crying.
'Hey I heard about Lucas and Haley,' Jake started off pathetically trying to be nice.
'Good for you,' Brooke said not meaning to take her anger out on him.
Jake sat down and pulled Jenny onto his lap, 'come on you can't be upset around Jenny she's too cute'.
Brooke passed a brief smile his way and that was enough invitation for him, 'look I've gotta work tonight could you hang out with me'.
'Why?' Brooke looked sceptically his way.
'Cause I'm a very sensitive boy and god knows what could happen to me on my way home,' Jake saw another hint of a smile and knew he'd gotten through, 'I need protection'.
'I think you can manage perfectly well, but as Jenny's here I can't very well turn her down,' Brooke said as she played with Jenny's fingers, which were so tiny and precious Brooke couldn't help but adore her.
'Okay I'll meet you in an hour at Karen's café?' Jake said standing up.
'Okay,' Brooke said no longer weeping but with the brave face she had adopted.
'See you later,' Jake walked away, he wanted to show her that life didn't totally suck.
Lucas held Hales as she continued to do her homework. He couldn't help looking at their current situation and being so content that he smiled like a fool. Hales started to notice.
'What you smiling at?' Haley said warily.
I dont wanna waste another moment
in saying things we never meant to say
'My girl,' Lucas smiled as he jumped off his single bed and proceeded to belt out the worst version of the four tops My Girl ever heard but nothing was deterring him from making her smile.
'I got sunshine on a cloudy day…' he also proceeded in doing some over the top cheesy dance moves, this could have resulted in Hales loosing respect for him but it was just too cute. He obviously couldn't sing a note.
'Come on Lucas we've got work to do,' Haley pulled on his grey hoodie, which made him fall to his knees but Lucas was on fire.
'I guess you say, what can make me feel this way,' Lucas sang even as Haley decided to tickle him.
Karen walked into her home and could hear the shouts from Lucas, 'MY GIRL! MY GIRL, Haley you're throwing me off'.
'That was the idea Casanova,' Haley said as she got back on the bed and took up her pencil and pad and started scribbling away. Lucas dragged himself off the floor and lay next to her, his summer sky blue eyes taking in the sight of her. Haley glanced at him and started to become nervous, 'What?'
'Nothing,' Lucas said like a twelve year old, '…just thinking maybe you're a little bit weirded out by us'.
'No I'm not,' Haley said as if the suggestion was purely ridiculous before saying in unison with Luke, 'Yes'.
'Not to the point of repulsion hopefully,' Lucas started.
Haley dropped her working utensils immediately to rectify this. She turned to him in a rush and her words flew out of her mouth, 'no, no, no not repulsion or disgust or anything resembling a negative feeling toward you, it's just we're best friends and I was so determined not to be Joey'.
'Ha Ha,' Lucas let out and in response Haley punched his shoulder and put on her you-did-not-just-say-that face, 'Hales don't worry you're way prettier than Joey'.
Haley took in the compliment as best she could. It made her stomach flip with anxiety. So many things to worry about, what if it never worked? What if she'd ruined everything by admitting how she felt? And then she thought what if I never this moment when he looks up at me with such adoration and trust that I feel the same.
Lucas kept messing about when he said, 'look if you find it icky, the whole kissing thing, then I find it icky then we can't get icky'.
'Lucas'.
'Yes Hales'.
'Be of the quiet,' Haley said leaning in and kissing him, it was her new favourite thing to do. The happy feeling was permanently inserted when their lips touched. Luke couldn't say a word he was confidently reassured that she definitely was not icked out by the whole kissing thing.
