Brooke was lying on her back looking up at the sealing. She came home last night after getting a black eye from her ex best friend Peyton, then to add to the injury her best friend Haley called her a skank and told her to never speak to her or her husband again. Brooke held ice over her eyes. She looked at the digital clock, it was only 1 in the afternoon and Rachel wouldn't be back till six.
Rachel was out doing community service. She had told Principal Turner that she stole tests from the tutor center so Brooke wouldn't get in trouble. He was going to expel Rachel but her parents called the school and bought them a new science wing. Principal Turner changed his mind and decided that Rachel just had to do community service till graduation. Though Rachel was actually enjoying it, and also Mouth had offered to join her and help out, so they were getting close again. The thought of her best friends getting together, made her extremely happy. Mostly because she didn't like Mouth like that, so Rachel wasn't stealing him away from her. Also, Mouth brought out a side of Rachel that was really kind.
Brooke decided to take a nap when she heard the song, Poison by Alice Cooper.
Your cruel device
Your blood, like ice
One look could kill
My pain, your thrill
I want to love you but I better not
Touch (dont touch)
I want to hold you but my senses
Tell me to stop
I want to kiss you but I want it too
Much (too much)
I want to taste you but your lips
Are venomous poison

It was the ring tone Rachel had put on Brooke's phone. Brooke had changed it to You're Beautiful by James Blunt, but Rachel must of changed it back. Brooke laughed and picked it up.
"Hey fat ass," the peppy voice said. Brooke laughed, knowing instantly who it was.
"Hey Rach, are you suppose to be working?" Brooke asked sitting up. It hurt to move at all, she had a horrible head ache.
"What can't a girl check on her friend who is in total pain?" Rachel said sounding hurt. They both laughed. Rachel would do anything to get out of work. "Actually we are on a break right now, and Mouth is getting me lunch."
"You are eating? Wow, Mouth must have a good effect on you," Brooke joked. Rachel was so skinny sometimes it would see she is anorexic, until you saw her eat. "But I am fine. Horrible head ache but I'm doing ok."
"Ok good, well there is more Advil in the bath room but try not to over dose please, Mouth will be so upset he won't pay any attention to me," Rachel joked. "Oh, Mouth is back, I'll talk to you later."
Brooke hung up the phone then laid back down to try and take a nap but then the door bell rang. Brooke groaned and got up. She went down stairs and opened the door.
"Chase, it's so great to see you!" She hugged him which made her head hurt even more. Then she got confused because he didn't hug her back. "What's wrong?"
"We need to talk," he said bluntly. They walked into the living room and sat on the couch. "Brooke…what you did, I know it's your past and I get that but you did the same thing my girlfriend did to me."
Brooke couldn't believe what she was hearing. "Chase, that's not fair. I mean this is totally different! First, Peyton and Nathan were broken up! I know that is a stupid reason but it is a reason none the less. Second, we were drunk. I mean really drunk. The night was all a blur. We weren't thinking clearly. I know that sucks and I am sorry but I was drunk. And also, that was my past, Chase. I am totally different now! I have changed so much. I thought you were going to forgive me for my past." She could feel the tears swelling up into her eyes.
"Brooke, I'm sorry but I can't be with someone who did this. We can still go to prom is you want but after that we can't be together. But we could try and have fun," Chase said trying to be nice. "I'll still go with you."
Brooke was now angry more than anything. He was making it sound like it was a privilege to go with him to prom. Then after prom he was just going to break up with her? How could she enjoy prom, knowing that they were going to break up. Then Brooke saw a bottle of Hawaiian punch on the coffee table. She picked it up and poured it on Chase.
"What the hell Brooke?!" Chase screamed jumping up. He was really confused and angry.
"Sorry, guess you are right people's pasts do still hunt them, like me having taste in sucky guys. Now if you don't mind I want you out of here," she turned and went up stairs. As she went up she said, "Try not to get any Hawaiian Punch on the carpet."
She went into her room and laid back down on the bed. There weren't anymore interruptions. She started to think about Nathan, he was the only one who understood her right now. Actually, he had always been the one who understood her. She thought about the night they first met, after they had danced and when they snuck away from the party.

Flashback

Brooke was eating her dinner and she looked over at Nathan who had been looking at her but he turned his head when she looked up, so she wouldn't think he was looking. Though Brooke knew better, even as a 7 year old. Nathan was playing with his food, not looking like he was enjoying it, and he kept tugging at his tie. Brooke giggled. Her mom noticed this and looked in the direction Brooke was looking in.
"So I see you have a boyfriend," Madeline said smiling. Brooke looked at her mom and blushed.
"He isn't my boyfriend, mommy, he is just a boy," Brooke said biting a piece of bread then dabbing her mouth with a napkin.
"Well, that's how they all start out. He is quite cute, and you two look so adorable dancing," Madeline continued. She knew Brooke liked boys before but she was never worried. Brooke was only 7 what harm could it do.
"Mom, stop. You are embarrassing me," Brooke whined. Her mom smiled and went back to eating and Brooke looked over at Nathan, and she caught his eye. He smiled at her and she smiled back. Then she looked out the window. There was a pretty lake, and she could see little ducks. She wanted to go outside to be with them. Then she got an idea. "Mom, may I be excused? I want to go talk to Nathan." Her mother nodded and Brooke grabbed three bread rolls and put them in a napkin. Then she went over to Nathan's table. "Hello, I'm Brooke Davis," she smiled and greeted Nathan parents. Then she looked at Nathan, "Hi Nathan."
Deb smiled at the little girl, "Well, hello Brooke, it's nice to meet you." She looked at her son and could tell he was blushing.
"It's nice to meet you too," Brooke said giving a little curtsy. "I was wondering if Nathan would like to go out side and help me feed some of the ducks," she held up the little pouch that help some bread rolls. "I only have three but hopefully that will be enough for them." She pointed outside. The late was close why and there were lights around it, so Deb could keep an eye on them.
"Can I go mom?" Nathan said eagerly. He knew it would be a lot more fun then sitting with his parents.
"Of course, and why don't you take some of out bread rolls, just incase the ducks are really hungry," Deb said smiling. Nathan and Brooke each took three rolls and put them in Brooke's little napkin bag. They ran outside together, and went down to the lake. It was little muddy so Brooke had to old up her dress. There was a bench right in front of the late that would be perfect.
"Oh, it's dirty though Nathan. I don't want to get my dress dirty," she said sadly. She was ok with standing, though she would have liked to sit.
Nathan took off his jacket and put it on the bench, "There, sit on that. It will keep your dress clean while you sit." Brooke smiled thankfully and sat down. Nathan sat down next to her. They took out a roll and Nathan tore it in half and gave one half to Brooke. They threw a few pieces and more ducks came. Brooke smiled, having the time of her life.
Nathan took a bite out of the bread, and Brooke laughed, "Nathan stop!"
He looked at her confused and swallowed the piece of bread, "Why? I'm hungry; I didn't get to finish eating."
 Brooke laughed more, "Because that is for the ducks, and you are a person. Not a duck." She took the bread from him. He pouted then go an idea. He jumped off the bench and squatted down and started to quack. Brooke couldn't stop laughing then she finaly handed the bread back to him, "Good ducky."
Then a mother duck came with 6 baby ducks behind her.
"Oh, Nathan look! Aren't they so cute?" she said quietly not wanting to scare them away.
"Yah, they are kinda cool," Nathan said tossing some more bread at them. They mother duck started to swim away. Her babies started to swim after her, but one of them wasn't moving. He was struggling and then he started to sink.
"OH, NO NATHAN DO SOMETHING!" Brooke screamed. Nathan jumped up and ran into the water, scaring the other ducks away. He picked up the little duck then realized there was sea weed wrapped around his feet. He untangled the duck then put him down and the duck swam away to join the others. Nathan walked out of the water and sat back down next to Brooke. "Nathan…that was so brave! You were like a real hero just now!" She hugged him tightly. Nathan was shocked at first but then hugged back.
"We better get back, so I can get in trouble for my pants," he said. He held out his hand to Brooke. She smiled at him and took his hand. Then she shivered, it had gotten pretty cold. Nathan picked up his jacket and put it around her.
They started up towards the country club when Nathan stepped on something. He bend down and picked it up, "It's one of plastic things from the toy machines like at the store," Nathan said to Brooke. He shook it and heard something in it. He opened it up and there were two plastic rings. He took one out and took Brooke hand and put the ring on her finger. Then he put the other one on his. "Now we will be together for ever," he said smiling.
Brooke smiled and hugged him," You're my best friend, Nathan!"
He smiled and hugged her back, "and you are my best friend, Brooke. No matter what, we will always be there for each other."

Brooke smiled and then got up and went over to her jewelry box and took out the ring. She kept it after all these years. She wondered if Nathan still had his. She picked up her cell phone and decided to give him a call.

Nathan was walking home, taking along time when he heard the song Iris by the Goo Goo Dolls. He smiled. That was his ring tone for only one person, Brooke Davis.
