"What's going on Cheery?" Nathan said answering his phone. With all that was going on, Brooke was the only person Nathan wanted to talk to. Brooke was the only one who understood him. They both used to be wild party people, but have now grown up and matured. He was now a husband, he had done a great job with the marriage it was Haley that had messed it up. He was doing better in school, and he was on top of his game. Brooke had gone from the girl who danced on table to school president. She was cheerleading captain but she was ditzy. Brooke wasn't the smartest person but she didn't fake it. She really did try.
"Hey, Boy toy," Brooke said brightly. She sounded as though she had just woken up and was totally refreshed and not the least bit tired, which was surprising considering the shiner Peyton, gave her last night. "Rachel is out with Mouth doing community service for being such a bad girl, Lucas is with Peyton I'm guessing and your wife won't talk to me, so I am lonely."
Nathan knew how much Brooke hated to be alone. He was the same way a lot of times. He acted as though he wanted to be alone when Haley left with Chris Keller but the truth was he hated being alone. He wanted people to force him to hang out, but no one did, no one except Brooke. Brooke would come over, though no one knew about it. She was bring over a pizza and a movie and they would sit and watch and talk. They would talk about anything, from the physics home work to global warming. He could tell her anything. "So, what I'm your sloppy seconds?"
Then he heard Brooke laugh over the phone, "No Nathan, you are my Sloppy Firsts. So are you going to get your ass over here?"
Nathan laughed. Brooke had such a nice way of asking things. That's one of the reasons he loved her, she was so honest. She wasn't afraid to be herself. "PLEASE NATHAN!" she screamed into the phone. He pulled the phone away from his ear and laughed. Brooke could be very loud when she wanted to be.
"I think you broke my ear drum!" Nathan shouted pretending to be annoyed. Then they both started to laugh. "Ok, I'm on my way. Did you order the pizza?"
"Duh, of course I did. I also have drinks and movies. Rachel has a huge selection of movies. So get your ass over here, and I'll be waiting." Then Brooke hung up. Nathan shoved his phone into his pocket and laughed. Brooke could be pretty demanding.
Nathan rang the door bell and waited for Brooke to answer. He rang in again and still nothing, then he listened closely and he heard music. He rang the door bell again but still no one answered. He tried to door knob, it was unlocked. He walked inside and followed the music. He stood outside the door, smiling, watching Brooke sit at her vanity mirror singing.

Sometimes in our lives we all have pain we all have sorrow
But if we are wise we know that there's always tomorrow

Lean on me, when you're not strong
And I'll be your friend, I'll help you carry on
For it won't be long 'til I'm gonna need somebody to lean on

Please swallow your pride, if I have things you need to borrow
For no one can fill those of your needs that you won't let show

You just call on me brother when you need a hand
We all need somebody to lean on
I just might have a problem that you'll understand
We all need somebody to lean on

Lean on me, when you're not strong
And I'll be your friend, I'll help you carry on
For it won't be long 'til I'm gonna need somebody to lean on

You just call on me brother when you need a hand
We all need somebody to lean on
I just might have a problem that you'll understand
We all need somebody to lean on

If there is a load you have to bear that you can't carry
I'm right up the road, I'll share your load if you just call me

Before she could finish she heard Nathan clap. She turned around and saw him smiling and standing in the door way. "You butt head, how long have you been standing there?" She threw a pillow at him.
"Not long, just long enough to know that you have a pretty decent voice," Nathan said smirking. Brooke did have a pretty good voice. It wasn't a grammy winning voice but it was good none the less.
"Well, I'm not planning to open at Trick any time soon, but I'm happy to sing here in my…well Rachel's house," she stuck her tongue out. She stood up and walked over to him. "How are you doing Nate?" she looked serious.
Nathan frowned slightly. He was hoping they weren't going to jump right into this. He looked at Brooke. She was wearing dark blue jeans that hung perfectly on her waist. She had a dark red off the shoulders shirt on. It showed her perfectly tanned shoulders. Her hair was down and was now past her shoulders. She was bare foot, but her nails were painted red. She looked extremely hot. "I'm fine…Haley won't talk to me. She is actually like I ruined the marriage."
He and Haley were still on the rocks for her leaving with Chris. He still cared about her, though he wasn't sure if he still loved her in that way. He hated not being sure, it wasn't fair to Haley. He and Haley were sort of living together. They had tired to live together after the school shooting but they fought too much. Nathan moved back in with his mom, who was now in rehab. His father was still living at the lake house so he had the place to himself. Haley came over all the time and sometimes stayed the night, though it was rare for anything to happen between them. They had lost the spark. They both knew it, though neither wanted to admit defeat.
"Did you hear she got a call from a record label? Island Records wants to sign her. They heard about her through Peyton," Nathan said sitting down on Brooke's bed. Peyton had a lot of musical connections. Fall Out Boy was one of the biggest, they were signed to Island Records. They had heard Haley on the benefit album, Friends with Benefit, and they loved her sound. Haley would put out an album, they would hire a sing writer to help her but she would do most of it herself. Then she would go on tour. They were even talking about having her the opening act to Fall Out Boy or James Blunt. Haley was excited but Nathan wasn't. He had gotten into Duke, he didn't want to jeopardize that now. He didn't have time to go on tour with Haley. Haley could go back to college any time she wanted, but Nathan couldn't. He got in mainly because of basketball. If he deferred now he would lose his spot on the team her sure. Haley got mad when he told her this and screamed about him not letting her follow her dreams. Nathan shook his head. "I don't want to talk about it now."
Brooke nodded her head. Then the door bell rang. She ran down stairs, Nathan close behind. It was Lucas, and he was holding their pizza. "Did you get a new job?" Brooke was confused.
"The pizza guy was waiting out here and I told him that I would bring it in, by the way, you owe me $16," Lucas said handing over the pizza to Brooke. He winked at her. They were broken up now but still good friends.
"Nathan, pay the man. I was going to make you pay anyways," Brooke said going into the kitchen leaving Nathan and Lucas alone.
Nathan got out his wallet and handed Lucas the money. "So what are you doing here man?" Nathan knew that if Peyton found out Lucas was here she was freak. Peyton was crazy lately.
"Peyton is refusing to talk to me because I am not on her side, but I am not on anyone's side. I could really care less about the tape. It's ancient history. I told Peyton she shouldn't be mad at Brooke after what me and Peyton did to Brooke," Lucas hung his head in shame. He never forgave himself for hurting Brooke so badly. Brooke deserved better. He knew Brooke didn't care for him anymore, though a part of him still loved her. A part always would. He had thought she was the one, but who says you are going to find the one in high school?
"Well, I guess you can join us, if Brooke doesn't mind," Nathan said. He had hoped for an evening alone with Brooke but seeing is how Rachel and Mouth were due back soon, that wasn't going to happen.
"Of course Lucas can join us," Brooke said coming over to them. "Now are you going to stand in the door way or help me bring this stuff upstairs. They followed her into the kitchen. She handed the two pizza boxes to Lucas and then she handed Nathan plates and napkins. They followed her up to the bed room. "I had to send the couch out for cleaning," she said thinking of Chase. "So this is the second best room to watch t.v." She sat on her bed and patted the spots on both sides of her. They both sat down.
"What about drinks, smart one?" Nathan smirked. He always called Brooke on the things she forgot. Brooke reached over Nathan, she gave him a wink as she did so. She was now laying across him, her legs were on Lucas. "Brooke what are you doing?"
Brooke reached into her bed side table and opened the door, there was a mini fridge filled with soda and beer. She got three Mike's hard lemonade out and hand them out. "Now who is the smart one?" She winked and took a drink. Then she bounced up and went over to the DVD cabinet. "What movie do you want to watch? No sports movies," she said before either of the Scott brothers could say a word. She scanned the movies. "You each get to pick out two movies then we will decide from there."
"Fine," Nathan said getting up. Lucas followed his lead. They stood in front of the cabinet. Nathan chose The Girl Next Door and the Patriot. "Of course porn and violence for Nathan." Lucas chose Big Daddy and The Last samurai. "Ok so there is only one good movie out of the bunch. Now for mine." Brooke pulled out Breakfast at Tiffany's and Rent. "So the three that we have to decide on it, Big Daddy, Breakfast at Tiffany's and Rent."
"Why none of mine?" Nathan asked angry. He didn't care to much as long as it was Big Daddy.
"Because your movies suck ass," Brooke laughed. "ok now time for a vote."
"Don't we get a say?" Brooke turned around and saw Rachel and Mouth standing in the door way holding a bad of Chinese food. "I vote for Rent."
"Big Daddy," Nathan and Lucas said at the same time.
"Rent," Brooke said excitedly. They all looked at Mouth, the deciding vote.
"sorry but I have to go with the girls, rent" Mouth said shrugging. Rachel and Brooke squealed happily. They both hugged mouth. They put Rachel and Brooke's bed together and all sat and got ready to watch. Nathan made sure he was sitting next to Brooke.
