Hey, guys! I want to thank everyone for all of the reviews! You guys are all so great! So, someone was complaining that my chapters where too short. I'm sorry that they're not that long...its alot harder and takes much longer to write a fanfic than to read it! So, again, I'm sorry. I'll try to write longer chapters. I can't promise anything though...school's about to start back up and everything so I wont be able to write as much. Well, I hope you enjoy this chapter!
Nathan started to worry about Brooke. She had been in the bathroom for awhile now. So, he got up and walked over to the bathroom door. He knocked and said, "Brooke, you alright?" Brooke didn't respond. She was still sitting on the floor crying. She wanted to answer him, but she just couldn't. "Brooke?" Nathan called to her again. She didn't respond this time either. Nathan slowly opened the door and looked in. He saw Brooke sitting on the floor crying. At this point, she didn't care if he saw her crying or not.
Nathan went over to Brooke and sat on the floor next to her. He put his arms around her and she leaned into his chest and cried. "Its okay, Brooke. You can cry." Nathan told her. For the first time in a long time, Brooke felt safe. That she could let her guard down...well almost, anyway.
As Nathan watched Brooke cry, He started to think of Haley. The way that she had hurt him. That thought pained him. At that moment, a single tear fell from Nathan's eye, and rolled down his cheek.
It was already past 1 o'clock and Peyton started to worry. She was supposed to meet Brooke more than an hour before. The two of them were supposed to meet at karen's Cafe for lunch, but Brooke never showed up. Peyton had waited over an hour for her. She called her cell a million times but Brooke hadn't picked up a single time. Peyton had even called her the night before and she hadn't picked up then either.
Peyton desided to go look for her and call around. She called up Lucas to see if he knew where she was.
"Hello?" Lucas answered.
"Hey, Luke. Its Peyton."
"Oh, hey. Whats up?"
"I was wondering if you've seen Brooke. I can't find her."
"What do you mean you can't find her?" Lucas was serious. He had started to like Brooke again the way he had before. Brooke had no idea that he liked her in a 'more than friends' type of way though.
"I don't know. We were supposed to meet for lunch more than an hour ago. I called her cell and she's not picking up."
"Did you search for her anywhere?"
"Not yet. I'm about to."
"I'm coming with you." Lucas said. He hung up the phone and rushed over to Peytons.
Flashback
When Brooke awoke she found her self in an unfamiliar room. She quickly sat up and looked at the room around her. She realized that she was in Nathan's room. All of the sudden she remembered the night before. Brooke got up and out of bed and walked to the kitchen.
"Hey." Nathan greeted her as she walked in to the room.
"Good morning." Brooke said and yawned.
"I can make you some breakfast if you want."
"Look at you, Nathan Scott! You can make breakfast!" Brooke teased him and smiled.
Nathan got up and walked over to the freezer. "Blueberry or chocolate chip?" He asked her, holding 2 different ego boxes.
"Chocolate chip." Brooke said and sat down. "I didn't think you cooked anyway."
"You thought right."
"So what time is it anyway?"
"Um... let my check." Nathan looked over at his phone. "11:30"
"You let me sleep this late?"
"I only got up half an hour before you."
"Still..."
'DING' went the toaster.
"And your egos are ready." Nathan told her as he got up to get them from the toaster.
End Flashback
Nathan and Brooke entered the movie theater with a bucket of popcorn, two drinks, nachos, and a twix bar. They decided to go see The Hills Have Eyes. They took a seat in the second to last row.
"When I get fat, I'm blaming it on you!" Brooke said with a full mouth of popcorn. "I don't know how you ever talked me into buying all this food." Nathan just laughed at her. "Oh, stop!" Brooke said and threw popcorn at him.
Peyton drove around with Lucas in the passenger seat.
"Lets go check her house." Lucas told Peyton.
Peyton drove down to Brooke's and parked. "Well, her cars in the driveway." Peyton said. "I'm going to go in and see if she's there."
Peyton got out of the car and knocked on Brooke's door. Nobody answered, so she went around back to Brooke's room. She looked into the windows of Brooke's room and she wasn't there either. "Ugh." Peyton said and came back to the car and said, "She's not there. Where else can she be?"
The movie had just ended and Nathan and Brooke were walking towards Nathan's car. "That movie was pretty bad. It wasn't even that scary." Brooke said.
"Brooke, you jumped like 3 times."
"Okay, fine. So I was a little scared."
"A little? I though you were going to pee in your pants!." Nathan smirked. Brooke came over to him and playfully hit him.
They reached the car and climbed inside.
"That was fun." Brooke said and smiled.
"Yea, it was." Suddenly Nathan had the urge to kiss Brooke but stopped himself. 'You're still married.' he reminded himself.
Brooke wanted to kiss Nathan too, but she knew it was wrong. She could never cheat on anyone. Brooke had no idea that Nathan had the same feelings as she did, nor did Nathan.
Peyton and Lucas looked in all of the stores that Brooke liked to shop in as well as her favorite bars.
"Where can she be!" Peyton cried, frustrated.
"I have no idea." Lucas answered and thought for a moment. "Are you sure we've called everyone?"
"I called all her friends and-"
"What about Nathan?" Lucas interrupted.
"Nathan?...I don't think that Brooke would be with Nathan."
"Its worth a shot."
Nathan was about to start the car when he heard his phone ring.
"Hello?"
"Hey Nathan, its Peyton...Do you know where Brooke is? I can't find her anywhere."
"Yeah, she's with me."
"Oh thank god!"
"You wanna talk to her?"
"Yea, thanks."
Nathan handed the phone over to Brooke. "Its Peyton."
"Hey Peyt, whats up?"
"Oh my god, Brooke! I've been looking all over for you!"
"Why didn't you call me?...Oh, yea! I forgot, I don't have my phone with me."
"Well that explains it. And what happened to lunch at Karen's?"
"Oh my god! Peyton, I am so sorry! I totally forgot that we had plans!"
"Its okay. I thought some guy kidnapped you or something."
Brooke laughed at Peyton's remark and said, "No way. So, how long have you been looking for me?"
"The whole day, ever since you didn't show up for lunch. We went looking all over for you and everything."
"We?"
"Me and Lucas."
"Oh." Even though Lucas wasn't Brooke's boyfriend anymore she found it uncomfertable when Lucas and Peyton were together.
"So, why are you with Nathan anyway?"
"Its a long story. I'll call you later and tell you all about it."
"Okay, bye."
"Bye." Brooke said and hung up.
"So whats up with her? She sounded weird on the phone."
"I was supposed to meet her for lunch and I totally forgot about it. When I didn't show up, she went crazy and started to look everywhere for me. And then she still didn't find me so she finally called you."
"Yeah, well, I guess we don't normally hang out much."
"But thats when I thought you were an ass...no offense."
"None taken. I thought you were a bitch anyway." Nathan said and smiled.
"You were right, she's with Nathan."
"Good! We finally found her!" The two friends were in silence for a moment until lucas said "Since when does Brooke hang out with Nathan?" He asked. Lucas was jealous that Brooke had been with Nathan even though he knew that nothing was going on between the two of them...Not yet Anyway.
