Brooke awoke to a loud thunderstorm that had been going at it all night. After Lucas had gone home, she had first decided she would go out to the courts to search for Nathan, but then the rain started pouring, and soon the hectic thunder followed.
She sat up with a smile on her face. She was going out with Nathan! …She hugged her knees to her chest, as she rested her chin on her knees.
She stared at the picture of Nathan that was on her dresser; it was a picture of them at the beach, where he had her on his back.
The café in the front had taken it, when they were there two days ago. Since they went there a lot, one of the workers there was a good friend of theirs, and had taken it with her phone.
She sighed, he was so adorable, his built lean muscular frame stood out in the slim fitting see through white shirt he was wearing, and his jeans fit his muscular sturdy legs flawlessly. He had a strong jaw line, an adorable nose; and sexy lips that could make any girl crazy!
Brooke shook her head smiling, what happened to her, she never did this, she awoke thinking of him, and the last thing on her mind was Nathan as well.
She saw her reflection in the mirror that the picture was in front of, and was surprised to see the dreamy look that was on her face.
She sighed as she threw her legs over the bed, and walked to the bathroom splashing her face with cold water.
She went downstairs, and sat beside her window, with a cup of coffee in hand.
She looked out at the horrible weather, 'Oh god,' she sighed.
She picked up the phone dialing the familiar number. Instead of Nathan she got his voice mail.
Arrgg
She threw the phone on the sofa beside her in frustration. Then she remembered the basketball game…
"Oh, he's probably already there practicing in the gym," she muttered to her self, as she grabbed her car keys and her coat.
When Brooke entered the gym, the game had already started; she went and sat beside Haley in the front bleachers.
She looked at the court in search for Nathan, and he was out there all right. He was running the court like a pro getting every shot in, the way he ran, made you think you were going to get trampled, and some would even move out of his way when he came.
She tried to get his attention, but his attention was fixated with the game. Brooke frowned, that wasn't like him.
She watched him, as he looked like he was taking his anger out on the game.
She frowned, now worried about him. She looked over at Haley who shrugged equally worried.
Nathan positioned himself in front of Lucas, as he called out for the ball, when it was coming toward him, he moved out of the way, and the ball hit the un-expecting Lucas hard in the stomach.
Lucas clutched his stomach, as he cussed at Nathan in pain, causing the referee to stop the game.
Lucas threw the ball away and came up to Nathan, shoving him hard.
"What the hell is your problem?"
Nathan's fist clenched in anger, "Its you,"
"What the hell do you think you are? …Solve it," Lucas challenged shoving him again.
"Don't worry, I'm planning on it," Nathan said, as his fist connected with Lucas' eye.
The coach and the other players ran up to them, separating the two half brothers.
Lucas struggled in the grasp of the other players with his hand on his bruised eye, "You have issues man, if you want to deal with it, tell me when and where asshole,"
"What about… Here and Now," Nathan spat, "Get off me man," he said trying to push away the other guys.
"Stop it Scott," Whitney, said referring to both brothers, "I don't know what's gotten into you, but your both out of this game, now on the bench, I want to have a word with both of you … and we'll get some ice for you Lucas,"
Nathan jerked away from the other guys and sat on the bench.
Brooke tried talking to Nathan, "Nathan…" she called out.
He ignored her as he took a long sip from his water bottle.
Brooke was confused, wondering if he didn't hear her, but she was pretty loud.
"Nathan," she tried again.
He again ignored her. Brooke saw the other kids around look at her. She felt so embarrassed; he was embarrassing her in front of all these people. She turned and looked back at the game.
She looked over at Lucas, who had Haley pressing the ice to his eye; Brooke gave him a sympathetic smile, wondering what was going on.
At the end, after Lucas and Nathan talked to Whitney, it was still raining so Brooke waited in her car.
When she saw Nathan come out, she quickly stepped out. "Nathan," she yelled.
He tried to protect himself from the rain, as he quickly made his way to his car.
Brooke sighed; she came in his path, and opened her window, mouthed 'My house,'
She drove in right behind his car.
Nathan got out, and Brooke ran up to him turning him around. "What are you doing, why do you keep ignoring me?" she yelled irritated.
"I thought you'd get the cue," he yelled over the thunder, which was pouring harder then ever.
"What the hell?" she was now literally shaking because of the thunder.
She took his arm and pulled him with her into the house.
Then she turned to him, "Nathan what the hell is going on?"
"I don't want you anymore," he spat out.
Brooke felt like she was punched, "What? Nathan why are you saying this, we were so happy yesterday, did something happen Nathan?" she asked confused.
"You tell me Brooke, did you have a great talk with your parents?"
Brooke was confused at first, "Oh-… Nathan did you come over later," she sighed.
"Yeah, and saw you and your lover in the act," he growled.
"What? Oh god Nathan, you got it all wrong-…"
"So you weren't in his arms… and you were really talking to your parents,"
"No Nathan, that's true, but it wasn't how you're thinking-…"
"Isn't it? If it wasn't then you wouldn't have lied to me, the truth is you still love Lucas and always will,"
"No… NO Nathan-…"
"Your just a slut that likes using other guys to make one jealous," Nathan continued in rage.
Brooke felt tears stinging the inside of her eyelids.
"Nathan what are you saying-…"
"Can't you hear, I said you a SLUT… you played me to get to Lucas, and it worked, you got in between two brothers, good job, bitch mission for this week…complete, who's next,"
"Nathan just Stop-…"
"I could probably ask any guy in school, and we could trade ways that you tried to get us, Brooke your nothing but a whore, that would do anything to get her sick pleasure, I cant believe I ever liked you, or went out with you, or kissed you, now you disgust me, you probably kiss Lucas and minutes later your kissing me, and probably not too long after another guy-…"
Brooke was so rages, she slapped Nathan with all she had, the slap echoed through her empty house.
Nathan touched his stinging cheek, "Brooke-…"
"Now you listen to me, and listen to me good. I cared so much for you Nathan, isn't that funny, I thought I loved you, but how can I ever love a guy that is such an asshole, the things you said to me today, wow Nathan, you couldn't be so wrong, I don't care for Lucas more then a friend, but now that I think about, he's been better to me then you, even with all the cheating, he never would've said the things you just did,"
"See, conversation is about Lucas, admit it, you can't get him out of your mind, because you have some obsession with him, that you would leave our date, to be with him,"
"He was sick, he was hurting in his chest, he-…"
"Oh and I'm suppose to believe that while he was having these 'pains' he told you to lie to me,"
"Yes he did-… well he wanted you to be practicing-…"
"Oh how considerate of Lucas," Nathan hissed.
Brooke shook her head, "Leave Nathan,"
Nathan shrugged as he opened the door, "You're a bitch, I really cared for you,"
When he closed the door, Brooke fell against it sobbing.
"Nathan," she sobbed loudly.
She could see what it must've looked like to Nathan, how she had lied to him and he had found her with Lucas.
She couldn't stop the tears from streaming down her face; the outside weather was just like the mood inside.
Nathan parked in his driveway, slamming the door closed.
He went up to his brick wall punching it with all his anger. He felt the blood on his fist, but couldn't care less, "Dammit Brooke,"
Nathan turned around, his back pressing against the wall; he looked up at the sky, the rain splashing on his face, mixing with his tears…
