Chapter 12
Rachel and Nathan were standing in the kitchen....
Rachel sighed "When I was away I was dating this guy and We were driving home from a football game when we went over a bridge. He didn't make it." tears were rolling down her cheeks when she was finished.
Nathan walked over and wiped her tears away with his thumbs.
Haley got out of her car and locked the car doors.
She walked up to the house and with out knocking as usually she walked in. When she got to Peyton's room Peyton was sitting on her bed and was hugging a crying Brooke.
Haley called out "Brooke" Brooke looked at her twin and got up and latched on to her.
Haley looked at Peyton with Brooke still in her arms and said " Peyton What the hell happened?"
Peyton said "I don't know she just got here two minutes ago and was crying."
Haley said "Tiger what happened?"
***Story/Flash back***
Brooke was on a jog with her ipod blaring her music. She turned the corner and crashed into a chest and fell "What the hell!" she yelled out.
Brooke rolled over "Well if it isn't my girlfriend." Brooke got nervous. And her throat felt dry.
"What do you want mark?" she said as she as she got off the ground.
Mark took a step towards her "Brooke you know what I want…." she took a step away from him.
Brooke looked around and noticed she was two blocks from Lucas's house. "Mark stay away fro me!"
When he went to grab her she took off running towards Lucas's house with mark chasing after her. Lucas was sitting on his porch reading the newspaper and Brooke saw him. He didn't see her yet. Brooke was about to call out his name when a pair of arms wrapped around her waist and jerked her back.
Mark smiled "No one can help you now"
Brooke let tears run down her face and yelled out "Lucas!!!!!" she was trying to get out of his hold.
Lucas looked up when her heard his name and looked to see Brooke on the side walk with a guy grabbing her. He ran as fast as he could and ripped Brooke from Marks grasp and punched mark in the face a couple of times.
Mark took off and Lucas looked at Brooke "Pretty girl are you okay?"
Brooke shook her head and Lucas pulled her into a hug.
*** End of Story/Flashback***
Peyton got up and said "Oh hell no" and walked into her closet.
Haley knew Peyton all to well and threw on her sneakers. Peyton walked out with three baseballs bats and her keys.
It was always the same, Theses three might be the most popular girls in school but all the girls know not to mess with them because they will probably get their ass kicked. Just like in tenth grade when a girl named Mary pushed Haley into lockers, Mary ended up with two blacks eyes, a broken nose, and slashed tires.
Brooke knew this to "Guys this situation isn't going to be fixed with a Peyton Haley Brooke ass kicking."
Haley got up and said "You wanna beat"
Brooke "Guys please Lucas pretty much beat the shit out of him and I think we need to tell Nathan this one."
Peyton sighed "Okay Mark just got the biggest break of his life" she put the bats and her keys away.
Haley said "How about we watch the notebook and then we will call Nathan?"
Brooke and Peyton nodded. The girls sat down to watch the movie. Haley got up and said "I will be right back" Peyton and Brooke nodded.
Haley dialed Jake's number
"Hello" said Jake
"Hey Jake" Haley said walking down the stairs
"Haley what's up?"
"I know we said we were going to go out tonight but something happened with Brooke and she needs Peyton and I right now. I am really sorry" Haley sat on the couch
No its okay, is she okay?
"It's a long story I will call you later and tell you about it… okay?" Haley said
"K talk to u later babe. Bye"
"Bye" and Haley hung up the phone and went back in the room with Peyton and Brooke to watch the movie.
Nathan and her were sitting at the table eating
Nathan said "Rachel I am sorry"
Rachel sadly smiled "yeah me too"
Nathan sighed "Did you love him?"
Rachel sighed as well "No we weren't dating for that long…. I dated him for the wrong reasons. Don't get me wrong he was a great guy but he wasn't the right guy for me. His death made me realize that I cant be afraid to express my true feeling."
Nathan looked up "And what are your true feelings?"
Rachel opened her mouth to speak when she was cut off by Nathans phone
Nathan groaned and answered "Hello…. What happened?"
