Thanks for still staying with me and reviewing it's so great and keep it up. Please read and enjoy…
Brooke woke up the next morning and there was still no call from Lucas. Brooke walked down the hallway groggily and slumped down on the couch to watch some quality television. She was halfway through Best Week Ever when Haley walked in with two coffees in hand.
"Hey Brooke." Haley said seeming very cheery as she sat down next to Brooke "got you coffee." She handed the other cup to Brooke.
"Thanks, I so need this right now." Brooke said taking a sip but quickly wishing she hadn't because it had burned her mouth.
"Oh yeah, it's kind of hot." Haley said after Brooke had already taken a sip.
"Right, well it's still good." Brooke said leaning back against the couch.
"So I ran into Lucas this morning when I was getting this coffee." Haley said trying to sound as if it was no big deal.
"Oh my god, what did he say?" Brooke asked her.
"He asked how you were." Haley said staring quizzically at Brooke.
"Well why doesn't he just call me and ask me that?" Brooke asked, not really to Haley but just mainly to the world or herself.
"Would you like to tell me what happened between you two last night?" Haley asked her sitting forward, ready for gossip.
"It was terrible Haley. Lucas and I got in such a big fight and I ended up storming out and saying something along the lines of that I didn't care about him." Brooke said.
"Why, what did he do?" Haley asked Brooke.
"Well I think he was mad at me for reminding him about his heart condition and how I didn't want him to beat those guys up so that he would be safe. I guess he thought it was taking away his manliness." Brooke said,
"Well he sounded a bit upset this morning, but he wouldn't tell me what happened." Haley said.
"I told him to call me but I guess he's still super pissed that I turned into Brooke the psycho bitch." Brooke said taking a sip of her coffee.
"So you're not mad at him anymore?" Haley asked Brooke, confused at this point.
"I'm furious." Brooke said looking at Haley like she was crazy which put Haley in an even more confused state. "I don't want to break up though, and I'm willing to be the bigger man here as long as I get my Broody back."
"You're broody? God you guys are so weird with your nicknames." Haley said.
"Whatever, I just need him back." Brooke said. "I'm going to go change and see if he's at his house." Brooke said "thanks again for the coffee, see ya later tutor girl." Brooke said leaving.
Haley leaned back and was about to take another sip of her coffee when her phone rang startling her.
"Hello?" She said, the caller I.D showed up with an unknown number…
"Haley, its Nathan can you come to 1407 Forest Street right now?" He asked her.
"Um, sure I guess. Nathan why are you calling on a different number and what's at 1407 forest street?" Haley asked him.
"Don't worry about that, just get here now. I think I found us an apartment." Nathan said and hung up.
"Oh my god." Haley screamed to herself.
"Haley?" She heard Brooke say from her room.
"Oh sorry Brooke, I gotta go! Good luck with Lucas call you later!" Haley said grabbing her purse and running out the door.
Brooke cautiously walked up to Lucas's door. "You can do this Brooke." She whispered to her self and then took in a deep breath and knocked on the door.
A few seconds later Lucas opened up the door, looking very surprised to see Brooke.
"Uh, hi." She said softly.
"Never thought I'd see you here." Lucas said leaving the door open and walking back to his bed.
"I left you a message." Brooke said ignoring the comment he had just made.
"I got it." Lucas said sitting on his bed "was there a point to it?" He asked her.
"Lucas, oh my god." She said shaking her head in disbelief "yeah there was a point. I wanted to apologize for last night and to talk to you." Brooke said.
"Can you close the door please, it's kind of cold." He said.
Brooke stared at him in anger and silence.
After a few seconds of Brooke doing nothing Lucas said "Brooke…" But she cut him off.
"Yeah I'll do you one better and slam it." Brooke said walking outside and slamming the door behind her. She started walking back to her car but she felt the tears falling down her face and she felt winded by them. She couldn't believe that Lucas was being this mean to her.
Lucas opened the door and yelled after her "Brooke wait up." He said.
"Why?" She said with her voice shaking "so you can ignore me more, yeah no thanks Lucas." She said.
"Brooke, wait I'm sorry." Lucas said.
"I'm not going to kneel down and pray for your forgiveness Lucas. You were just as bad as me last night but at least I'm willing to be sorry for it and not act like an ass." Brooke said.
"I don't think I was as bad as you last night, but I agree that we both messed up." Lucas said.
"Lucas you could've gotten really hurt with those guys and I don't care about your pride, I care about you so you're just going to have to deal with that." Brooke said.
"I understand Brooke, but you know it's just hard for me to give up so easily. I want to be able to take care of you." He said.
"You have and you do, but there's no need for you to get beat up over me. And I don't like the violence so for me, just never do that again ok?" she asked him.
Lucas looked at her and walked strongly over to her and pulled her into a hug holding her closely to him.
"Ok Lucas?" Brooke asked him still crying a little, she still wanted an answer to her question.
"Yes Brooke, of course." He said.
"Ok good, because I don't ever want to fight like we did last night again." Brooke said.
"Trust me neither do I." Lucas said wiping away a few of her tears.
"I think I lost a little of my voice from all the yelling." She smiled.
"Yeah you were a little scary." Lucas said laughing and pulling her in towards him.
"I really do love you Broody." She said looking up into his eyes.
"I love you more Cheery." He said and tenderly pressed his lips against hers. The kiss intensified and Brooke tightened her hold around Lucas trying to get as close as possible to him.
Lucas picked Brooke up into his arms causing her to scream.
"Shall we go inside?" He asked her raising his eyebrows seductively.
"Oh yes make up sex!" Brooke said nodding and kissing him again.
Haley got to 1407 Forest street and looked up at a small building that was painted in yellow. It looked like a normal house, a little big but still quaint in some weird way. She took out her phone and was getting ready to call Nathan but then she felt someone's arms slink around her waist.
"What do you think?" It was Nathan.
"Of the gigantic house that looks like more than we'll ever be able to afford? Um I love it." Haley said spinning around and wrapping her arms around his neck "but like I said there's no way we can afford this mansion."
"Ok first of all it's not even that big by itself, and second of all we wouldn't get the whole thing. It's two smaller apartments inside." Nathan said.
"Well Nathan, are those even in our price range?" She asked him.
"it's a little steep, but Haley listen my dad is trying to be on my good side right now and I'm sure I can get some money, well a lot of money from him." Nathan said.
"I don't want your dad's pity money, not to mention that we would be making a deal with the devil himself." Haley said smiling.
"Haley…" he paused trying to make up another way to get her to agree. "Let me take you inside." He said taking her hand and leading her towards the house.
"Oh wow, this is such a cute bedroom." Haley said walking over to Nathan after spending a long time looking around the room.
"When I first saw it I knew it was very Haley." He said.
"Oh you know my style now do you?" She asked him leaning against his chest.
"You like it don't you?" He asked her, trying to defend himself as best he could.
"mmm, yeah I guess." She said leaning up and kissing him "but Nathan I don't want to depend on your dad." She said.
"We're not depending on him, he's just going to give us the little money that we need to actually close on this place. But Haley it's so worth it. I know it's what you want and I like it too and we're going to be living together again which is going to be the greatest thing ever, and we both know it." Nathan said holding her closer to him. "Haley I love you, and I need to be with you. You know everything that happened last year separated us for way to long and I never want to go that long without you again."
"I love you Nathan." She said "and I think we should go for it."
"Really?" He asked her, his face lighting up.
"What the hell." She said putting her hands up in a casual gesture. Nathan picked her up and swung her around in the air kissing her as he set her back down.
Brooke was walking back up to her apartment after she left her sex fest with Lucas. She saw Travis up at her door knocking steadily.
"Um Travis?" She said walking up behind him.
"Brooke hey, I was just coming to see you." He said.
"Really?" She said, sarcastically. "Planning on breaking in where you?"
"No, actually I was just knocking." He said.
"Oh, right, well, can I help you with something?" She asked him suddenly feeling very awkward.
"I was just coming to check on you. You did seem pretty upset last night." He said.
"I was, but we worked it out." Brooke said.
"Well, that's good then. I guess you don't need me to comfort you." He said.
"Guess not." Brooke said, fakely being mean.
"You're so mean." He said putting his hand over his heart, trying to look hurt.
"Aw, sorry. But seriously I really do appreciate you being there for me last night. It's nice to know there's another side to you." She said smiling.
Madison stepped out of her car and shut the door quietly. This was so not what she wanted to be doing right now. Hopefully Haley wouldn't be there and she could just leave the book she borrowed from her at the door and make an escape. She looked up the stairs and saw Brooke talking to a mysterious and very good looking guy. They were talking, smiling perhaps even flirting? No way could Brooke being seeing another guy behind Lucas's back. Then she saw Brooke put her hand on mystery guys' shoulder.
"Bitch" Madison muttered under her breath. She gathered her thoughts and flaunted her way up the stairs.
She reached the two of them, who were laughing and she cleared her throat causing both of them to turn and look at her.
"Sorry to interrupt." She said.
"Madison." Brooke said, carrying out a very unhappy tone.
"I just came to return this book, I borrowed it from Haley." Madison said nodding her head and waiting for Brooke to give her some sort of gesture as to what she should do with it but Brooke remained cold and silent.
"Is Haley here?" Madison asked her.
"No, actually, 'maddie', she isn't. But I'll take that for you." Brooke said "wouldn't want you to have another reason to come back here again." She said, every word oozing fake niceness.
"Ok, here you go." Madison said handing it to Brooke and turning to leave but then she stopped and turned back around "I'm sorry. I don't believe we've met before." Madison said holding out her hand to a flabbergasted Travis.
He shook his head a little to get out of his trance and bring back his cool.
"I'm Travis, and it's a real shame we've never met because you're a very pretty girl." He said which made Brooke roll her eyes.
"Travis" She repeated his name like it was a new foreign object "I love that name, let me give you my number." She said getting out a piece of paper and pen from her purse and quickly writing her number down. "That way if you ever need someone to talk to you can call me." She said handing it to him.
"Thank you very much. I think I'll do that." He said slipping the number into his pocket.
"Um excuse me Madison, your already dating someone else." Brooke said.
"Yeah well, so are you." She said softly to Brooke "bye Travis, call me." She said and with that walked away.
"Ugh! God that girl drives me crazy." Brooke said. "You're not actually going to call her are you?" Brooke asked Travis, who was still smiling watching Madison walk away.
"I don't know, she seemed nice to me." He said "and hot" was added at the end.
"Ok, you don't know the first thing about her." Brooke said standing up straight and putting her hands on her hips.
"Oh well why don't you tell me then." He said leaning against the wall waiting for an explanation.
"I can do that easily. First of all she's a major bitch like total skank ass whore. She totally hooked up with Haley's husband not to mention the countless times she's tried to steal my boyfriend. Second of all she's already dating a really great guy named Tim and I'm almost positive she's only doing it to make me jealous so I hate her for that too because I don't want Tim getting hurt." Brooke said finishing a bit out of breath.
"Is that all?" he asked her.
"No but it covers the bases." Brooke said.
"Look, Brooke there must be something good there if a really good like your friend Jim or whatever is dating her." Travis said.
"Tim, and he's only dating her cause she's hot and popular." Brooke said.
"That doesn't sound like the greatest kind of guy to me. I mean that's what I do and we both know what kind of guy I am." He said.
"Oh shut up." Brooke said hitting him playfully "you know what I mean, it's just… I just don't like her ok?" Brooke asked him getting fed up with all of this.
"Ok, I respect your opinion, but I still might call her." He said "and I'm going to go now, so have a nice rest of your day." Travis said.
"You can always call me if you want to talk too." Brooke said.
"Jealous much?" He asked her.
"Jealous? No I just owe you one or two for last night." She said shifting her weight.
"Hmm, well I might take you up on that. See you later Hot walk girl." He said and then went back into his own apartment smiling to himself all the way back.
Haley got back later that night and saw Brooke asleep on the couch with the TV on.
She walked over to the TV and turned it off.
"Brooke." She whispered softly as she walked over to her.
"No, mm, yes the yellow flowers…" Brooke muttered in her sleep.
Haley laughed a little and this time shook Brooke's shoulder "Brooke, wake up." She said.
Brooke's eyes fluttered open to see Haley leaning over her.
"Hi Haley." She said groggily.
"You were talking about yellow flowers in your sleep." Haley said.
"Oh, yeah I think I was dreaming that Lucas and I were getting married." Brooke said shaking her head in disbelief.
"Well speaking of big steps, Nathan and I found an apartment today." Haley said.
Brooke sat up on the couch and pulled Haley into a hug.
"Oh my god Haley that's so amazing. What does it look like?" Brooke asked her.
"Well it's a house that's fairly big and yellow and inside it's split into two apartments and we're getting one of them." Haley said.
"It sounds so cute; I can't wait to see it. Do you know your neighbors?" Brooke asked her.
"Well we haven't closed on the house yet, so no we don't. Hopefully they'll be nice." Haley said.
"And not mind hearing sex noises late at night." Brooke shrugged and Haley hit her playfully.
"Ok, you can just stop right there." Haley said smiling; Brooke could just be so…well… Brooke sometimes.
"Alright, I'll stop I just had to say it though." Brooke said and walked over to the refrigerator.
"So, I'm kind of scared to ask but what's the deal with you and Lucas?" Haley asked Brooke.
"We made up." Brooke said smiling at Haley as she grabbed a soda and sat back down on the couch.
"Good, so there's no more resentful feelings?" Haley asked her.
"I'll admit I'm still kind of annoyed, mostly because before we made up he was being really rude to me… But I forgave him and him me so we're good now." Brooke said.
"Well that's good." Haley said "why were you asleep when I got here, it's only nine." Haley said.
"Well, tutor girl, it's time for me to teach you a lesson. Sometimes when people fight and then they make up they have make up sex and…"
"Ok, alright I get it." Haley said cutting Brooke off "sorry I asked."
"Yeah, so that's why I'm tired." Brooke said. "Lucas wants high quality."
"EW, Brooke my best friend you're talking about." Haley said getting up and walking back towards their room but she saw her English book on the way.
"Hey when'd this get here?" She asked Brooke.
"Ooh." Brooke said raising her eyebrows "Madison stopped by and gave it to me earlier today." Brooke said.
"hm, and how was that?" Haley asked Brooke.
"Awful, I hate that bitch." Brooke said.
"Aw, well did you at least say thank you for the book?" Haley asked her.
"I might have, you know I really can't remember. Too much rage in my brain at the time."
"Your something else Brooke." Haley said shaking her head and walking down to their bedroom.
"I know, right." Brooke said to herself as she followed after Haley.
