A/N: I just wanted know what happened to all the Brucas fans, because their not many stories about them anymore on this site. Here is the next chapter. I also would to thank everyone who's already supporting me to continue to write, it makes updating fun. Just so you know the story is already completed, so I'll try to update as much as possible.
Disclaimer: I don't own OTH. If I did then Brooke would've some true friends, and Rachel and Jake wouldn't have left the show.
Brooke was on her bathroom floor trying to get rid of dizziness she felt after emptying her stomach for the umpteenth time. Behind her, in her room, the radio played some unknown soul music. Ever since she found this radio station, which played soul music all day long, she was hooked. The music brought her some sense of peace in her troubled world. She felt like it understood what she was going through, and took away the pressure she constantly under to accept what was happening to her. She didn't deserve that. Slowly, after making sure she wasn't feeling dizzy anymore, Brooke stood up and exited the bathroom. She was standing in front of the mirror in her room, feeling disgusted with herself, when another song was announced.
"Next up, we have India Arie with her new single 'Get it together'. This goes out to all the broken souls out there maybe this will help you out," Brooke couldn't help but hold her breath when she heard that. She sat down on her chair and looked at the radio, anxious to hear the song. Then it began…
One shot to your heart without breaking your skin
No one has the power to hurt you like your kin
Kept it inside, didn't tell no one else
Didn't even wanna admit it to yourself
And now your chest burns and your back aches
From 15 years of holding the pain
And now you only have yourself to blame
If you continue to live this way
The tears sprung in her eyes. She couldn't continue like that.
Chorus:
Get it together
You wanna heal your body
You have to heal your heart
Whatsoever you sow you will reap
Get it together
She has to move on, but she didn't know if she was strong enough to do it alone.
You can fly fly
Dark future ahead of me
That's what they say
I'd be starving if I ate all the lies they fed
Cause I've been redeemed from your anguish and pain
A miracle child I'm floating on a cloud
Cause the words that come from your mouth
You're the first to hear
Speak words of beauty and you will be there
No matter what anybody says
What matters most is what you think of yourself
Chorus
The choice is yours
No matter what it is
To choose life is to choose to forgive
You don't have to try
To hurt him and break his pride
To shake that weight off
And you will be ready to fly
One shot to your heart without breaking your skin
No one has the power to hurt you like your friends
Thought it will never change but this time moved on
An ugly duckling grew up to be a swan
And now your chest burns and your back aches
Because now the years are showing up on your face
But you're never be happy
And you'll never be whole
Until you see the beauty in growing old
Chorus
"That was it folks, her latest. Don't forget to head to stores today and purchase it," the radio said.
But Brooke wasn't listening anymore. That song spoke to her more than any other words could express. And by the end of the song, she knew what she had to do. She couldn't keep hiding. She had to move on because it wasn't healthy for her and her baby. HER BABY! At that thought, Brooke started to panic. What kind of mother was she? The way that she had been acting certainly hadn't been good for her baby. If she wanted to move on, her first step was to stop thinking about Lucas and Peyton. It would be hard to do, hard to ignore the pain they caused her. But it was something she needed and wanted to do. Instead of thinking about them, it was time to start thinking about her baby. She had to get her life together and prepare for its arrival. So that's what she did. She started by cleaning her room but she soon realized that her room needed a new look. The old one brought to many bad memories on. So, quickly and precisely, she threw away all the pictures of Lucas including the ones that she already cut out of anger. She almost threw away her pictures of Peyton, but quickly decided against it. They held too many memories, too many memories she wasn't willing to lose. Peyton had been her family for a long time and Brooke loved her unconditionally for a long time. She just wanted a reminder around that she was capable of love, just in case the next few months became unbearable at times. She did, however, throw her pink book bag that Peyton had given her for her thirteenth birthday out, along with some Cd's and clothes. She didn't need them anymore. The process of eliminating Lucas and Peyton from her room and her life was very cleansing for her. While doing so, she came to many conclusions and made some decisions. She decided she needed to learn to cook and clean, for the sake of her baby. And the next thing she would buy would be whatever parenting books she could get her hands on. And it was definitely time to see a doctor. But not just any doctor. This was her baby, and it was too risky for somebody else to see her if she attended one in Tree Hill. She would look into seeing one in the city, where nobody would recognize her.
She also needed to go shopping and find a job, because she couldn't depend on her parents. Especially not, when they're going to find out that she's pregnant. She'll need all the money that she could earn for when she'll leave town to raise her child elsewhere. Where that will be? She doesn't know but she knew that she couldn't raise her child in Tree Hill. So that it could be the talk of town. Her child will be more than another bastard child. And she wouldn't allow her child to be put through that. Tomorrow, she'll buy some things to redecorate her room; she'll even buy some new CD's and clothes.
This was the time for change. Gone was the old Brooke Davis. Now, it's time she showed the world the real Brooke Davis. There was far more to her than anybody knew, and they were about to find out. Brooke was starting a new chapter in her life and she was excited. She felt powerful and scared, but she knew that she could do it with the unconditional love from her unborn child. More than anything, for first time she had her life together.
P.S.: I would like to thank Kelli (BLove13) again.
