Heeeeyyyy guys,

So I know I have been silent lately and again I'm sorry, but I have 2 updates for you as an apology for not posting when I came back from London.

I love you guys so very much for supporting me and reviewing and just being amazing readers.

Thank you also to my loyal readers that have been with my work since I first posted. I love you all.

So here is the next chapter. ENJOY!

Winter break was over now so we were back at school. Oh the joys... right? I park in my usual spot and step out of the car taking my bag and swinging it on my shoulder. I see the girls talking and laughing by the wall near the steps to the front doors. I take just one step before a body stepped in front of me.

At first I thought it was Lucas so I automatic smile formed on my lips until his aftershave hit me and I knew that smell all too well. Those memories automatically turning bad. I look up "excuse me your in my way" I go to step around him, but he moves in front of me again. I let out a loud sigh and I could see Lucas walking towards our usual group by the stairs. He says something to the girls and Rachel replies nodding towards me. His eyes meet mine and I shake my head reading his facial expression. He didn't need to save me. I've got this "I said excuse me Julian. I really don't want to entertain this"

"Can't we just have a normal conversation Brooke? I mean we were together a long time. Don't you think we could just be civil" he says

I look to him "well we could have, but you always bring us up in it and I don't want to hear it anymore. I'm so over it" I reply "so if you would kindly move out of my way and not talk to me anymore that would be appreciated"

"What am I meant to do now Brooke? I honestly thought you and I would get through that summer and be together again"

I laugh at that shaking my head "you have got to be kidding me Julian. So I was what? Meant to just sit around and wait for you to screw anything that walked or talked and then become your girlfriend again after the summer had finished. You honestly did not love me like I did you because you would never have done that to me Julian"

"I told you I wanted to get it out of my system"

"And I'm telling you that I was dumb enough to let you do that to me to begin with. I am so glad that I listened to that song Rachel advised me because I would probably still have been with you" I look pass him again seeing our group looking my way"I am truly thankful for Lucas. He has showed me what love really feels like. He showed me that he only has eyes for me. He has shown me more love; support and affection than you ever did with all those years we were together in just a short amount of time. I thought my world had collapsed when you dumped me, but Lucas showed me that it hadn't. Lucas is my person and I am his and you nor Nicki can never ruin that no more" I step to the side and start to walk pass him this time he let me go and then I stopped and turned to him "oh and Julian"

"Yeah" he says turning towards me too

"Congrats on the pregnancy and all. I know that wasn't on your plans with the soccer thing and all that" he just stared back at me in confusion "oh... I'm sorry you might want to call Nicki" I then walk away and head over to my friends.

"That seemed like it went well" Haley comments

I look over and see Julian pull out his phone out of his pocket "looks like his going to be a dad" I announce knowing that wasn't my place, but I didn't care anymore.

"Shut up" Rachel says her eyes going wide "but didn't he not want kids"

He didn't. Julian always used to tell me he wanted to not have any kids and have the trophy wife which I was meant to be to always look good so he could show her off. He didn't want kids ruining his life he would tell me constantly.

"Well looks like the universe decided against that for him" I shrug "Nicki didn't even tell him. I just did"

"You dodged a bullet with him Brooke" Peyton says and I nod agreeing with that.

I didn't truly realise that until that very moment. I used to go along with whatever Julian wanted. He didn't want kids then neither did I. He didn't want me to work then sure I won't work. He wanted the perfect trophy wife then sure I would do as he said to make him happy. That wasn't the relationship I really wanted.

How is it you only realise stuff after you've come out of if?

I watched Julian pacing the car park after he got off the phone. His eyes connected with mine for a sec and then the school bell rang.

"Come on Brooke" Lucas takes my hand and I follow him up the steps and into the school.

It was now lunch time and I arranged a cheer practice. The first one back from winter break. We had to practice outside on the field because the basketballers are in the gym. Lucky for us it wasn't raining just a little cold.

"Okay girls that was great. We have the finals in February so we need to make sure that we smash it and beat those fricking bears" the girls nodded agreeing with me "okay let's go again"

"Are youfucking kidding me" we hear coming from the further down the field "Nicki what are you doing here?" I look over and see Nicki storming up to Julian.

"We need to talk about this and our situation" she says stopping in front of him.

"Julian what is going on?" the coach asks "tell your girlfriend she needs to leave"

"She is not my girlfriend"

"I am not his girlfriend"

They say at the same time.

"Well just deal with whatever this is quickly" Julian nodded pulling Nicki to the side.

"You need to leave Nicki"

"Not until we talk. You can't just call me shouting and not expect me to react"

"Well I didn't think you would be crazy enough to show up to my school" he shouts "making a scene in front of everyone"

"We need to talk about it Julian"

"Fine" he let's out a sigh running his hand over his face "come by my house tonight" she nods

"I'll see you then" she makes a kissing noise towards him then turns around to walk off "oh and I didn't make the scene you did" she then stalks off.

Julian looked around seeing all eyes on him. Our eyes connected again and a part of me a very very small part of me felt sorry for him. If she was indeed pregnant then what was he going to do. His parents are going to murder him. They had a plan set if for him since he was in his mother's stomach and it sure enough did not involve a kid while he was still in high school.

He broke eye contact with me and headed back to his team the coach saying something to him before they started practice again.

"That looked intense" Rachel commented

"It sure did" I agreed "looks like he picked the crazy one. Anyway come on girls back in your places" I instruct.

REVIEW PLEASE!
