Disclaimer: I do not own One Tree Hill, but If I did.. Well, I would be looking at Jeyton, Naley and Brooke being happy and having kids with either Lucas or Julian.
Julian Baker with sullen eyes walked through the doors of the home he shared with his girlfriend, Brooke Davis. He couldn't believe that he spent Three hours trying to talk Alex down from a "relapse." He was angry for not listening to Brooke who tried to warn him about Alex and her behaviors. But, he was angry with himself for not believing her and choosing Alex over her.
He looked down at the small brunette who was sound asleep at her work desk. He walked closer to her and observed her. Still in her dress from the club and tears all over her face. He smirked and let out a sigh, he knew it was his fault. He picked her up, and carried her up the stairs to their bedroom.
As he laid her down on the bed, he knew that she was going to need some sort of Tylenol in the morning for her headache. She was pounding down a whiskey and Coke at the bar, her mother's favorite type of a drink. He walked into the bathroom, looking into the medicine cabinet, taking the bottle of pills. He was about to close the cabinet when the mirror reflected a little pink disc in the trash. He leant down, picked it up and observed it.
"a whole month's worth of birth control." He muttered softly to himself. He definitely needed to talk to Brooke.
Brooke scratched her messy bedhead as she awoke. She patted the spot next to her, and felt nothing. She had the worst thoughts wash over her, but they all melted away when Julian appeared in the doorway with a little tray and food. He did his stupid little grin that made Brooke forget what he did. Or atleast, postpone it until after breakfast.
He sat beside her, placing the tray over her. He smiled, "I made your favorites, French Toast with powdered sugar with just a little bit of honey on top, an egg white omelet with cheddar cheese and.. A glazed donut from the bakery down town." He let off another smile, which to Brooke meant trouble.
Brooke started on her donut, he got her favorites just about right. But, she just smile and whispered a small, "thanks."
The twosome was downstairs on the couch. Brooke now in a White tank top and blue jeans, Julian in a black v-neck and gray jeans. She sighed as Julian uttered off about her birth control,
"And, why didn't you tell me you wanted to try for a baby Brooke? Why do you think I'm ready for one?"
Brooke pressed her fingers to her temples, trying to bit down the tears that were coming. Julian didn't want kids. When she so desperately wanted one now. She wanted a kid to be able to grow up a year behind Sawyer like she and Peyton. She wanted a little girl to be the Brooke to Sawyer's Peyton or the Lucas Scott to Sawyer's Haley James. But, Julian didn't want that. And that crushed her.
"So, you don't want kids?" she asked Julian with tears slowly becoming evident.
"Not really Brooke, not now. My career is finally getting started, My Dad LOVES this new script with Alex. I can't be here in Tree Hill with you and a kid, while trying to produce a movie in L.A." He told her, finally releasing the truth. He disliked Tree Hill because there was too much history, too much that he didn't fit into. And, he hated it.
"So, you would choose L.A. over being here with me and your kid?" She asked, tears flowing freely. Julian tried to utter a response but Brooke interrupted him, "You know what, I thought that WE were pregnant this week. And, I was so excited. Cause it would've made us better, that would've made Me happy. But, you don't want me to be happy at all. You hang out around Alex all the time. Where do I fit in? When can we have time? I basically threw myself at you, and you had me cover up. That was not fair to me at all." Brooke ranted, breathlessly with her tears just flowing down her face. She gasped for breath and looked over at Julian.
"What does this mean for us?" She asked.
Julian who took in every word Brooke said was mad again. At himself for ignoring Brooke. At himself for not knowing that Brooke wanted to even try for a child. And at Her, for not being honest with him. "I say we try to make us better. I'm done with Alex. She lied about being steps away from a relapse, her coke vial was empty and I sat there for hours with her. Trying to talk her down."
Brooke chuckled harshly, wiping the tears from her face. "She's not using coke. She's just a crazy manipulative bitch who wants to keep you from me." She let her thoughts run for a moment, "Millie did seem out of it yesterday. And, she has been hanging out with Alex." She hit Julian's arm and laughed, "Oh. Alex and her stupid bad habits rubbed off on Millie. But, I'm gonna stop her before she gets like Rachel, Who I'm going to talk to soon. Apologize. Maybe." she smiled as she threw her jacket over her shirt. She pecked Julian on the cheek. "Dinner? You cook." She walked out, leaving Julian smiling at her.
"God, I love that crazy woman."
