The next week:
Troy was getting things ready for Halloween and was just finishing putting up the outside decorations. He was coming in from outside when he realized that there wasn't anything to pass out. So he then grabbed his keys then drove towards the local grocery store. He then went towards the holiday aisle and then ran into Gabriella.
"hey"
"hey so what are you up to?"
"oh just getting something to pass out for tomorrow night. You?"
"just getting a few things for dinner when my husband comes home tomorrow."
"oh yeah very good then. "
"see you"
"see you"
He then picked up a bag of candy and then drove back home. When he got home, he put the candy away and then went upstairs to take a nap. When he woke up he realized he had to catch a flight to somewhere for a press conference and a charity golf game. He drove to the airport and got on the plane.
Brooke was just waken up from her sleep when her phone rang.
"hey"
"hey" she said kinda tired.
"did I just wake you up?"
"yeah"
"sorry babe"
"it's ok. So what are you doing?"
"nothing just sitting around. Are you doing anything tonight?"
"not really. Why?"
"want to go to a Halloween party tonight?"
"sure I guess so."
"ok I'll pick you up around 6pm?"
"sure ok. " "ok" She then hanged up the phone and looked at the clock. 3pm. That leaves her with three hours. She then looked through her closet to see what she could wear. She then found and old white halter dress and she cut the neck line down alittle lower. Brooke then plugged in her curling iron and let it heated up for about 10 mins. While that was heating up, she went to the kitchen and got something to eat. She then went back to her room and started working on getting her costume together. Brooke then started working on her hair.
6pm:
Brooke,all dressed and ready to go, was just finishing up the last few touches of makeup when John had knocked on her bedroom door.
"hey ready?"
"hey almost. If you want there's some sweets in the fridge. "
"sure thing babe." She then laughed and started putting on some lipstick and her earrings.
Brooke then went downstairs and walked into the kitchen.
"hey" she said kissing him.
"he-wow. Someone's looking smoken." he then smiled while she blushed.
"so ready to go?"
"yeah"
They then got in his car and drove towards the party. When they arrived, Brooke went to get out of the car when John had grabbed her arm.
"hey is something wrong?"
"no why?"
"no reason. It's just ... you been acting very odd lately. "
"oh ok"
"are you positive?"
"yes." They both then got out and went inside. When they got inside, a few of his friends came over.
"hey guys" they then gave each other a hug.
"hey so John what did someone try to change your girl for the night cause this one here is hot." all of the other guys laugh at him while Brooke just blushed and leaned into whisper to John. "I'll be around."
"Kay." Brooke then left and when around for abit.
She then went to the couch and sat down while a couple of her friends came over.
"hey"
"hey"
"so how are you feeling?"
"terrible and sore. No offense to who ever is hosting this but I didn't really want to come."
"so why didnt you just stay home?"
"because he wanted to come and I didn't want to disappoint him. "
"so I'm guessing that you haven't told him yet."
"no but I think he already knows that something is up though."
An hour later:
after a hour of talking and dancing and other things, Brooke was sitting in a chair when someone came over towards her.
"hey" one of john's friends said.
"hi"
"so what's new? I know we don't talk that much."
"not much and yeah we don't. "
"are you ok?" he asked while looking over at her in pain.
"huh? Oh yeah I'm fine. Just not feeling so well."
"well I'm starting to head on now if you want a ride home. "
"um I guess so"
He then went to grab his coat and keys, while she went outside to wait. When he came out, they went inside his car and started to drive home. Seeing on how it was a long drive, she had fallen asleep in the car. Instead of waking her up, he let her sleep. When they reached her house, Matt had carried her inside her house , up to her room, and layer her ontop of her bed. He then pulled a blanket over and then went on his way.
At the party (2 and a half hours later):
John was in the kitchen, having a drink when he started to wonder where Brooke was.
"has anyone seen Brooke?"
"I think she left." Jordan said.
"yeah I'm pretty sure I seen her leave with Matt and that they were talking too."
"speaking of which I don't think she been herself lately. " John said
"yeah I know. I heard a couple of her friends saying that she was pregnant and there are a couple of friends saying that she is bulimic." brad said
"well I got to go guys"
"see ya"
John then left the party and drove all the way up to the Bolton residence. He then went up to her room and went in. When he got in, he seen her asleep and didn't want to disturb her. So he just put her hand through her hair and watch her sleep.
