Brooke woke up around noon to knocking. She slowly but surely made it downstairs with her ankle throbbing by the time she opened the door. "Hi Lucas."
"Hey Brooke, I hope I didn't wake you up." He said. She nodded a 'no' and invited him in as she stepped back and groaned in pain. He looked over at her instantly to make sure she was okay. She held up her hands and sat on the chair behind her.
"It just hurts is all." Brooke reassured him. "So what are ya doing here?"
He smiled. "Since you couldn't really go anywhere, I figured I would come stay here with you." She smiled and stood up. She made a few wobbly steps before he grabbed her hand and led her upstairs to her bed. "I brought movies, ice cream, and other godly items." She giggled at his teasing and scooted over on her bed for him to lay down. He joined her and she laid her head on his chest. She felt so comfortable with him and she hoped the feeling was mutual.
"So what movie first?" Brooke asked.
"Whatever you want." He told her and she smiled before picking a movie and handing it to him. He rolled his eyes and got up to put it in. "Of course you would pick The Notebook."
"Hey, it's a good movie." She said, sticking out her tongue. He laughed and laid back down next to her while she placed her head back on her chest.
It was in the middle of the movie that they found themselves falling asleep. Lucas, who looked down at Brooke, noticed she was asleep. So, he turned off the TV and the lights before joining her back on the bed. She scooted up against him and he smiled as he drifted off to sleep.
"I know. I was wondering the same thing." Peyton said to Haley as they climbed the short steps to Brooke's door.
"Yeah, it's weird." Haley laughed. Peyton laughed too and walked inside Brooke's. "You just walk in here all the time without knocking?"
"She said I'm always allowed in." Peyton said. Haley just shook her head and walked inside.
"Brooke?" Peyton asked to the empty house. She shrugged towards Haley. "Maybe she's asleep or something." They both climbed the stairs and went to Brooke's room. Haley opened the door and nearly squealed a the sight before her.
"Peyton look!" She tried to contain the squeal. Peyton looked over her shoulder and smiled at the sight. "Aren't they adorable?"
"Yeah." Peyton agreed while she watched her best friend and her other friend sleep. "Well, lets leave them alone." Haley nodded and left a note on her door before Peyton put the things they brought on the floor and both of the giddy girls left; hoping the best for their best friend.
Once Lucas heard the door shut, he was instantly awake. "What?" He looked around and noticed Brooke still sleeping and smiled. He glanced over at her clock on her table. It read 2:00. He groaned and leaned back into Brooke who had her eyes open now.
"Hey handsome." She teased. Lucas let out a low chuckle before swinging his arm over her hip.
"Hey pretty girl." He said and she scrunched her nose at the nickname. "I like it." She said. Brooke wanted so badly to lean forward and kiss him and for once she did what her instincts told her; she leaned forward and met his lips in a kiss. He was shocked for a second before responding and grabbing her cheek to get her closer. Her hand went to the back of his neck and after a few moments, they came up for air.
"Wow." Brooke muttered. Lucas smiled before kissing her forehead.
"Hey Brooke, I wanted to ask you something earlier. You know, before we fell asleep." He laughed and Brooke nodded for him to go on.
"I was wondering if you wanted to go out?" He asked nervously. She smiled and squealed as she hugged him.
"I'd love that a lot Lucas." She said and kissed him again. He smiled into the kiss and she giggled. "But what about Jessica?"
"What about her? I broke up with her." He said and grabbed her chin to pull her in for another kiss.
Lucas had stayed a while longer before Brooke told him to go home before he got into trouble. He kissed her goodnight and she was on cloud nine as she called Peyton to tell her what happened.
"And then he kissed me again Peyton." She squealed.
"I'm happy for you B. Davis. Finally got the guy." Peyton said happily.
"Thanks P. Sawyer. Well I better get going. Although I'll be stuck at home for another lovely Sunday."
"Just call Lucas; he'll keep you company." Peyton teased.
"Alright. Bye!" Brooke playfully yelled and hung up. So now that her and Lucas were an item the only thing she was worried about was how Jessica would take things. Oh well, she didn't really care, she was just happy that she had Lucas. She fell asleep with a smile on her face that night.
Monday morning came rolling around and Brooke groaned as her alarm went off. She so did not want to go to school today but she got up reluctantly. Her tired mood was lifted though, when she thought of Lucas. He had finally asked her out and she was so happy. She knew Jessica wouldn't take lightly to this and probably kill her but she had gotten the guy and she was ecstatic. She was at school early that morning after picking up her new red-head friend Rachel.
"So, did you and Lucas finally screw or not? You've been all 'happy me' ever since you picked me up." Rachel commented.
"He asked me out." She said and began to look for him through the developing crowds. She heard Rachel babble on about some new love interest, but she wasn't really listening. She was silently looking for the boy who had, unbeknown to either of them, stolen her heart. She would occasionally nod at a few important things Rachel was saying and wave at a few people who yelled her name, but she was hoping, no needing to see him.
"And then he was like all over me... Brooke!" Rachel yelled when she noticed her absent-minded friend wasn't paying attention.
"What?"
"I was telling you a story. Oh wait, here comes lover boy." she went back to picking her nails when she saw Lucas come up and kiss Brooke good morning. Brooke could see out of the corner of her eye the one person she didn't want to see; Jessica.
"Oh, so now your with my boyfriend?" She snapped.
"Actually, I'm with my boyfriend, so leave." Brooke snapped back.
"Oh please, he's only dating you out of pity." She said and made a tiny laugh. "I couldn't see any other reason why he would."
"If so, then why did he put up with you so long?"
"One day bitch." She threatened. Brooke rolled her eyes and turned back to Lucas who had an angry look in her eye.
"Jessica, just go." He mumbled. Jessica made an angry face before stomping off to her friends who made sympathetic looks towards her.
"Thanks. She's really starting to get on my nerves." She told him as she leaned into him for warmth.
"I told you B. Davis, she likes you as more than a friend." She heard Peyton say and smiled against Lucas at the inside joke.
"Oh well, I was never into fake whores." Brooke teased at Peyton and Rachel laughed. Nathan and Haley walked up and noticed the couple.
"Are you guys..?" Haley asked. Brooke nodded and she squealed before running to hug her best friend. "I knew it was gonna happen." Everyone laughed at her comment and sat down at the huge table.
"So, assuming your weekend went well Brooke, how was everyone else's?" Nathan asked casually.
Everyone made nods as if to say 'it went good' or they said nothing. Brooke had noticed, besides the fact about her freaking out about her and Lucas, that Haley had been extremely quiet during their little group discussion. She shot Lucas a questioning stare before nodding her head to Haley. Lucas just shrugged and started to joke with Nathan. Brooke looked worried for her friend and told everyone that they were going to the bathroom.
"Haley what's wrong?" Brooke asked when her, Peyton and Rachel were in the bathroom.
"Nothing guys-" She began. "Don't even start that Haley James, we know somethings up and we want to know what it is." Brooke cut her off and for a minute Haley looked truly scared before tears began to flow.
"Guys, I'm p..pregnant." She said while the tears almost turned to sobs. Brooke, who had a shocked look on her face, tried to hide it while Peyton and Rachel just stood there wide-eyed.
"Is it Nathan's?" Rachel asked stupidly. Haley shot her a look and she nodded before looking at Peyton and shrugging her shoulder. "Just wondering."
Brooke, who was trying hard to recover from shock looked at Haley and pulled her into a hug. "Does he know?"
"No." She cried. "I don't want to tell him, he had so much to do still and I-" Hiccup.
"It's okay Hales." Brooke reassured her. "We'll be here for you, I promise. Right guys?" The other girls smiled and joined in the group hug. "And little Nathan or little Haley in there. Right little girl...um guy..." She finished awkwardly.
Haley wiped the tears from her eyes and smiled at her three best friends. "I don't know how I'm gonna tell Nathan."
"We'll help you. I mean, we could always just hide it and when the little tyke pops out we can be like 'here's your son or daughter Nathan.'" Rachel teased. Haley threw an annoyed look towards her before turning to Brooke.
"What do you think?" She confided. Brooke looked around and stared gently at her confused friend.
"Give it some time first and then when it's the right mood, you'll just tell him." Brooke told her and Haley nodded before wiping the excess make-up and dried tears off her face.
"Okay, ready to face the guys." She said. Everyone laughed and shook their heads before heading out the door. No one noticed, not once, the figure in the stall who made a quick laugh before departing from the bathroom.
Nathan: Let's just get this over with.
Peyton: Funny, that's what he used to say before we had sex.
