B.P.Davis- DUDE BROOKE DAVIS IS COMMENTING MY STORY! YAY!!!!!
Ok so sorry for not writing for like a month! I have ahad mad writers block and spring break and my lap top is like almost dead! But this is a pretty long one!
"Come on Brooke, go to homecoming with me," a freshman Nathan Scott pleaded to freshman Brooke Davis. "You know that you want to."
Brooke put her books in her locker and rolled her eyes. She and Nathan had been best friends for years so going to the dance with him would be a little weird. She used to have a crush on him but that ended when she grew up and started to fill out. It also stopped after Peyton got a crush on Nathan. Peyton was her best friend; Brooke would never steal her guy. "Nathan, don't beg that is so lame," Brooke said and she turned to walk to her next class.
Nathan followed her. "Brooke come on, homecoming is in a week and neither of us have dates. Why won't you go with me?" He liked Brooke a lot. He had seen he first saw her. "Everyone else has a date but us. Are you really going to go to your first high school dance alone?" He raised an eye brow knowing this would get her.
Brooke turned to him frowning. "We are not the only ones." She looked around for someone else that would probably not have a date. Brooke saw two people and smirked, Haley James and Lucas Scott. She had over heard Haley talking about how she didn't have a date and she wanted to go badly but she didn't want to go alone. She also over heard that Lucas didn't have a date either. She knew this would push Nathan's buttons.
With Nathan still following her she walked over to Haley and Lucas, "hey you two," she said pleasantly. They both looked shocked, then Lucas stiffed up (A/N mind out of the gutters people) when he saw Nathan, not letting any expression come across his face. Haley looked at Nathan in disgust then turned to Brooke.
"Can we help you?" Haley said evenly. Brooke noticed she was carrying a bunch of books, which caused Brooke to look at Haley's arms. 'Wow she would make a good cheerleader.' Brooke though surprised. "You need tutoring or something so you can stay on the Oh my god cheerleading squad."
Brooke glared at her, "No I'm doing fine and so is Nathan, thank you very much." She let her face soften, then she looked at Lucas and a smile spread across her face. "You are Lucas right? It's nice to meet you." She extended a hand. "I'm…"
"Brooke Davis I know," he shook her hand. "We have gone to the same school for how long?"
Brooke frowned, "I know and it totally sucks that we haven't talked."
Behind her Nathan was glaring at Lucas. He hated the way Lucas was looking at Brooke. Brooke was his, or at least he wished she was. Lucas was his half brother that he knew nothing about, and he wanted to keep it that way.
"What are you doing here," Lucas said rudely. For a second Brooke was taken back thinking he was talking to her, and then she noticed he was looking at Nathan. Brooke knew he hated him, and visa versa.
"Actually he is just here with me, I was wondering who you two are going to homecoming with?" she said smiling. "I'm not doing this to be rude, I actually want to know."
"Actually, we aren't going to homecoming," Haley said almost sadly. She really wanted to go and have fun but Lucas didn't want to go and she didn't want to go alone.
"That sucks, it's supposed to be really fun this year, and it is our first homecoming dance. You two should totally come."
Lucas looked at Brooke, "I don't think that will happen but thanks." Then he and Haley left for their class.
Nathan turned to Brooke, "what the hell was that? Do you expect him to change my mind about wanting to go with you?"
"No I think you should take that Haley girl," Brooke said laughing. She wasn't being serious of course.
"So will you go with me?" Nathan asked again.
As Brooke and Nathan were about to kiss, all Brooke could think about was freshman year before he and Peyton went out. Then Brooke stopped moving closer and she backed away. "We can't do this Nathan…."
She sat up and moved to the other side of the bed. She looked extremely sad because she wanted to kiss him. She wanted to kiss him very badly. Then she felt Nathan touch her hand. She looked up at him. His eyes were full of care and worry. "Let's just lie down for awhile, please Nathan," she said softly.
Nathan smiled and nodded. They laid down next to each other holding hands. Nathan loved this, he and Haley never did this anymore. He could never just lay with her in bed. She always wanted to sort things out and deal with everything, even when things were going well.
"Nathan…remember homecoming?" Brooke asked a half hour later. They had been laying for a half hour together in silence. Her eyes were closed, she was feeling so peaceful.
Nathan frowned silently, "of course I do. And I'm still sorry about that."
Brooke and Nathan walked into the school gym together, she was wear a gorgeous black dress with a blue sash around the waist and also around the top, which didn't have any straps. It was simple yet elegant. When Brooke bought it, it was just a plain black dress, it looked amazing on her so she bought it and made some alteration.
"I'm glad you came with me Brooke," Nathan said smiling at her. He couldn't help but think about how beautiful she looked. Brooke smiled back at him. She had decided to give him a chance.
Brooked looked around and saw Peyton her date, Bevin and a bunch of other girls from the cheerleading squad at the same table as some of the basketball guys. Brooke grabbed Nathan's hand and dragged him over to the table. "Hey you guys who wanted to dance?" Brooke smiled. All the girls got up and grabbed their date's hands. As they got onto the dance floor the song turned slow. Nathan couldn't be happier. He and Brooke started to dance together. It was Amazed by Lonestar.
Every time our eyes meet
This feeling inside me
Is almost more than I can take
Baby when you touch me
I can feel how much you love me
And it just blows me away
I've never been this close to anyone or anything
I can hear your thoughts
I can see your dreams
Nathan smiled at Brooke as they danced. She looked beautiful. He wanted to kiss her, right then. But he knew she wouldn't want that. He wanted to keep her happy. He looked into her eyes as they danced.
I don't know how you do what you do
I'm so in love with you
It just keeps getting better
I wanna spend the rest of my life
With you by my side
Forever and ever
Every little thing that you do
Baby I'm amazed by you
Brooke smiled at Nathan. She felt safe with him. He was being so sweet and kind. She looked into his eyes, and then realized she was starting to fall for him, but she couldn't let herself do anything. He was her best friend. She didn't want to ruin that.
The smell of your skin
The taste of your kiss
The way you whisper in the dark
Your hair all around me
Baby you surround me
You touch every place in my heart
Oh it feels like the first time every time
I wanna spend the whole night in your eyes
Nathan looked at her again and she looked away. Nathan sighed, he felt defeated. He knew he had to get over her, quickly. They spent the rest of the song dancing silently not looking at each other. Then after the song they went back to their table. They had fun the rest of the night, though they were ignoring each other. Brooke excused herself to go to the ladies room. After she went in the DJ announced to was switch partners time. He put on a slow song. Peyton walked up to Nathan and asked him to dance. He smiled and took her to the dance floor and started to dance with her.
"So are you and Brooke going out now?" Peyton asked biting her lip looking up at him. If they were Peyton knew she had to back off. She could never snag Brooke's boyfriend.
"No we just came as friends," he tried not to sound sad about it. He had a beautiful blonde in his arms, he knew he should be happy. He stopped thinking with his heart and started thinking as a high school boy.
"I'm glad because if you were I couldn't do this," she raised her head and kissed him full on the lips. At first Nathan was taken back but then he kissed her back.
At that moment Brooke walked out of the bathroom and saw them kissing, her best friends. Tears sprang out of her eyes. She turned around and ran out of the dance.
"It's ok Nathan. You liked Peyton and she liked you," Brooke said her eyes were still closed. She figured Nathan had only used her to get to Peyton. Brooke stopped being friends with him for a few months. Then when he wouldn't stop calling her she forgave him.
"Brooke that is the farthest thing from the truth, I liked you," Nathan said, he propped himself on his elbow and turned and looked at her. "I didn't like Peyton but you didn't like me so I went out with her. I wanted to be with you but you didn't want to be with me."
Brooke sighed and opened her eyes and turned her head to look at him. "Yes I did Nathan I wanted to be with you, but Peyton liked you. And you were my best friend I didn't want to ruin that. Then you two got close then when you two broke up Haley came into the picture."
Nathan held her hand again, "I wish you had told me, and then things would be different. You and Peyton would still be friends probably, I wouldn't be on my way to getting a divorce."
"But then you probably wouldn't be friends with Lucas. And you know that you were happy with Haley," Brooke looked at him. "And Peyton would have probably tried to steal you away from me."
"That doesn't matter because I would never have left you for her," he gave her hand a little squeeze. "I care about you Brooke. I never stopped."
Back across down Haley was standing with her door open shocked, "Chris what are you doing here?"
Chris walked past her into her apartment carrying a suitcase and a guitar, "Island Records called me and told me that you may not be taking them up on their deal. They knew we are friends from the tour. So my question is, what the hell is stopping you?" Haley looked down sad. "It's Nathan isn't it?"
Haley nodded, "yah it's Nathan. He won't come on the tour with me, he got into Duke. He got a scholarship to a bunch of schools, he won't avert for a year. He will lose the scholarships."
"That sucks," he looked around and noticed all of Haley's things but none of Nathan's. "Where is he anyways?"
"Nathan and I…aren't getting better really. We don't live together yet. We keep fighting and he said if I go on tour then that is it," she sighed. "I love him but…I want to go on the tour too."
"Then go! If Nathan is telling you not to follow your dreams you don't need him. From what it sounds like…you two lost your spark. Go on tour and if you two are meant to be he will be waiting for you when you get back," Chris said with a serious voice. "Haley, they are going to give you a CD and a tour. They said that once you start opening for bands like Fall Out Boy you won't be there long. Because people will want to hear just you. You will be having bands opening for you. Now I am looking for an opening act, I am on tour right now. What do you say? I can help you with her songs and then we can go record your stuff."
Haley didn't know what to say, but she knew it was now or never.
"Brooke say something," Nathan said. Brooke had been silent for the whole time after he said he still cared about her.
"Nathan…go to your wife. None of this matters while you two are together," Brooke said getting up. Nathan sighed and nodded. He got up and hugged Brooke then went to Haley's. He needs to talked to her. He saw her door was open when he got there. He walked in to see Haley and Chris Keller holding hands on his couch. Then heard it, "Ok Chris I'll go on tour with you as your opening act."
A/N GASP!!!! She did not just say that! OOO BUT SHE DID!!...I know I am talking to myself… so read the chapter and review so I am not talking to myself! Do you like the flash back?
Also I didn't want make them kiss yet because Nathan and Haley are still together and that would make Brooke as bad as Peyton! Which she is not! Well tell me what you think!
