Sam: Thanks! I'm glad that you feel I portray Brooke correctly. Thanks again for your review!
Cherrymfzb: Thanks. Yeah, I decided it would be cool if Brooke liked Lucas while he was with Peyton, so we could see how she really felt for him.
HalesnLukeBFF4ever: It's a deal, Amber! If you review every chapter, I'll make more! Hehe..
Starryskyangel: Brooke and Jake would be adorable together, I do admit.
KinGsFaN: Hehe, don't be sure about Brooke and Lucas. This may turn out to be Leyton, and one-sided Brucas, but you never know..
Secret Love
Chapter Five
Jake called me maybe once after our date. I guess he knew I wasn't really into it.
Peyton and Lucas obviously got back together, because we all know them breaking up would never happen.
I guess they never really broke up, they just kind of took a break for like five minutes.
They probably had a fight about who was more broodier. The winner would be an unsolved mystery.
See, that's why Luke and Peyton made a horrible couple. They were like twins. They were exactly alike! They even looked alike! I swear, if Lucas was a female, people would probably mistake them for sisters!
Anyway, back to current time, we were currently at our basketball game, cheering at the top of our lungs.
"Go Nathan!"
"Go Lucas!"
"Go Ravens!"
You could hear our cheers from down the road. We were extremely pumped tonight. If the Ravens lost this game, they wouldn't make it to the playoffs, and we just couldn't let that happen.
Of course, Lucas had to trip. It was an accident, but still! And just guess who he fell on? Little ole' Brooke Davis, who had been fallen on way too many times to enjoy it.
Of course, since it was Lucas, I didn't really mind.
But he'd also hurt him slightly too, and since Peyton was forced to stay behind at the game, it was just me and Lover Boy.
I sat on the nurse's bed-thingy for patients, as she wrapped my foot up. Lucas sat beside me, watching me flinch as she tied it too tight or too lose.
"Damn Brooke, I'm sorry."
"It's okay. It was an accident," I paused, looking at him carefully, "Right?"
He chuckled. "I would never hurt you purposely."
I nodded. If only he knew how much he was hurting me.
"So, will you ever forgive me?"
I nodded.
"Hey Brooke, you okay?"
"I'm fine."
"Are you sure?"
"Luke, don't start.." I warned.
"I worry about you sometimes, Davis." What the hell? I didn't even know he thought about me.
"What for?"
"I don't know, I just do."
"Right. Lucas I know that you only tolerate me because I'm best friends with your girlfriend."
"That's not true."
"It is too."
"Brooke, when I first met you, under the strange circumstances, I still saw something amazing in you, because you told me something that I realized was true soon after."
"What'd I say?"
"That everything had changed. And I didn't want to admit it, but it had. It changed."
I nodded, shrugging. "Well, I'm smarter then people think."
"Much smarter." He agreed.
"I'm not failing any classes like everyone says I am." I told him honestly.
"I believe you."
"You should. Because I don't lie, like everyone else does."
"I believe that too."
"Thanks."
"No problem."
We were silent for a few moments, and he was okay to go. He was at the door, when he stopped, turning towards me.
"Brooke."
I looked up. "Yeah?"
"I know what it's like to be misunderstood."
Damn, he had me falling for him more and more, day by day. As he left, I fell back onto the bed-thingy.
"Kill me now."
"I most certainly won't!" The nurse looked appalled, and I lifted my head to look at her.
"Not you, Genius."
