WOW. Ok first of all I have to say I have no excuse for not updating sooner even though I pretty much promised you guys I would, other than I have been really lazy! I know I horrible excuse right? Well I'm on a family road trip once again…and I'm gonna be in the car for like 7 hours so this is when I get the most amount of writing done! Haha. Well hopefully this chapter will be good because this is the farthest I have ever gotten in a story! I know…totally embarrassing but I have never gotten to a 7th chapter in any of my stories! Also in this chapter I have some other characters talking which I don't normally do and there is some strong language…just to warn you.
Disclaimer : Well I definitely don't own anything at all having to do with One Tree Hill… obvi!
What is Love? – Chapter 7
LUCAS'S POV
I walked down the dirty abandoned staircase and pushed the old door leading to the abandoned courtyard because I really needed a smoke. I didn't expect to see Brooke on the ground in the fetal position and crying heart wrenching sobs. I felt a pang in my heart and immediately rushed over to her side and pulled her into my arms. Her weight shifted on the ground and she wrapped her shaking arms around my torso, pulling me tightly into her. I felt her tears soaking my shirt and that made me only want to help her even more. After a few minutes I felt her calm down and pull out of my embrace. God, she looked so broken sitting on the ground with her head and shoulders obviously trying to hide the fact she was clearly upset with a stoic expression. Before I could even get two words out, she grabbed her bag, started apologizing and ran out of the courtyard. I lost my footing on the ground and wasn't able to catch up with her, but I managed to get myself into the parking lot where I saw a car zooming out of the lot and I assumed it was Brooke.
I looked behind me and saw that Brooke's outburst didn't really affect anyone. Everyone was seated as they were before and were still gossiping with one another. I did see some dark haired guy sitting with all the dumb fucks aka jocks, glaring angrily at me and I couldn't figure out why. I mean no one knows me besides Brooke so I definitely couldn't have made any enemies. Whatever.
I walked over to my bike, unlocked it and opened the back compartment. Quickly sliding the helmet over my head, swinging my leg over my bike and speeding off. I had an idea of where she would be so I took off in the direction of the boardwalk. I half-heartedly parked my bike and sprinted towards the abandoned lifeguard house and was shocked as to what I saw.
BROOKE'S POV
As I was speeding out of Tree Hill High I let everything go. All of the pain I had been feeling the past couple of days from my mother's death, Dan abusing me, me hurting Nathan by not letting him help me and the icing on the cake was Rachel's comment about my mom today. That was a low blow and she knew it. Tears were cascading down my face and slightly blurring my vision. I probably shouldn't be driving right now, but I have to get out of here.
I wanted to go somewhere that I could be by myself and no one would find me. Normally that would be the lifeguard house, but then I met Lucas and it has been our spot. So if I went there then he would for sure find me. I've always thought getting really drunk would help me deal with my problems, but I know what alcohol can do to people, it was my mom's escape from me, so I don't drink. I could go home because Dan is at work and wouldn't be home for a while, but that is so predictable. Then it hit me like a ton of bricks, I'll just go to my second home.
NATHAN'S POV
I was sitting at lunch laughing about something stupid Tim said, when I heard the metal doors to the school being pushed open with a great force. I didn't bother looking over towards that direction because it was probably just some nerd that was coming from a discussion with a teacher, or at least I thought it was. Well, that was until I see a girl with long dark brown, almost black hair run through the courtyard and into the parking lot. I looked closer and thought it was my sister. My thoughts were confirmed when I saw some tall stoner dude wearing a black leather jacket burst through the same door and calling my sister's name. He followed Brooke's similar actions and ran into the parking lot, but obviously wasn't fast enough cause right when he stepped onto the asphalt, my sister's black bug was peeling out of Tree Hill High. From where I was sitting I could see his shoulder's slump forwards slightly and he lifted one of his hands up brushed it down his face.
Ok so, my sister comes running out of the school, obviously upset, so upset she had to leave school and this punk is running after her. So this guy must've done something to her. Whoever this guy is, he's dead. I see him turn around and stare at him with my infamous stare that can make even the toughest guys, cry like babies.
I lift my hands and roughly place them on the stone table, ready to push myself up so I can go over there and beat this bastard to a bloody pulp. Right when I'm about to stand up, I feel a hand clapped over my letter jacket covered shoulder and I sit back down.
"Right Nathan?" I hear Tim's voice.
"What?" I really have no idea what Dim is talking about.
"That Teresa is a slut who would do anything. Right Nathan?" His voice is so desperate. Man, this guy hangs onto my every word.
"Yea, yea." By now I've taken my eyes away from that little piece of shit that hurt my sister and when I look back to where he was standing he's gone and I see a motorcycle tearing out of the parking lot. That must be him! "Look guys I gotta go, um, talk to Whitey about our next game. But look man if you wanna go for her, then just do it. Believe me, she's an easy lay." With that I stand up and briskly walk into the school and find my locker. I bang on it twice, because it's broken and that's the only way to get it open, and grab my keys. I hear the bell ring and all of the students filling back into the school, so this is my chance.
I slam my locker door, gripping my keys so tightly, I swear that I'm bleeding. Clench my teeth together and let out a low snarl. I push the metal door open and reach the courtyard. There are a few students still trickling inside the air conditioned school and those few druggies who just smoke weed all day. I walk quickly to my red mustang, unlock it and open the car door with a lot of force that it almost rips off of my car completely. I slide into the driver's seat with ease and slam the car door, shaking the whole body of my Stang. I let out a growl and turned put the key into the ignition, turning on my car. I back out of my parking space and put the car into drive, hearing the tires screech on the asphalt, knowing that their would be tire marks left there for a long time. I come to the exit of the school and decided which way I'm gonna turn to find this motherfucker. He has no clue what he is in for.
So I know this chapter is really short and you probably all hate me cause it's a cliffhanger, I know I hate them, but I really wanted to end it like this…so I guess you will just have to wait for my next update. Which will hopefully be soon. Please review! . And please try and put some constructive criticism in it! Cause I really want to become the best writer I can : D
Next Chapter…
Where did Brooke go? What is her second home?
Will Lucas find her and get her to open up to him?
Will Nathan ever find Lucas, and find out what he really means to Brooke? Will he understand their relationship?
So many questions…
