Chapter 13- Whipped.
The night was silent - Brooke was in disgrace. She thought it was all quite amusing; you hadn't really experienced a roadtrip if you'd not been thrown out of a hotel. Unfortunately, the two boys didn't think the same way. Secretly, Brooke thought it was their fault - she would never have screamed so loud if they hadn't tickled her. Both of them insisted that they hadn't realised she was so ticklish. Brooke hadn't voiced her opinions - she feared if she had she'd have been shot by now. And Brooke wasn't joking either; she had seen the look on Nathan's face the night before. And it was scary.
Now Brooke was bored. She was sat in the car with two bodies that were dead to the world. The elder of the two snored quietly and looked content; his cute little mouth open as his chest swelled and then reclined. Nathan on the other hand had been snoring incredibly loudly for the whole night. So loudly, in fact, that on several occasions Brooke had awoken and seriously thought that a train was passing by. Yep, the two of them wouldn't notice if she stripped them down and left them there. But she couldn't do that. Brooke smiled. She could do something else… Brooke sprang into action.

"Lukey! Wakey wakey! Shh, don't wake Nathan." Lucas stirred and rubbed his eyes. As if his senses had suddenly returned to him, he suddenly turned to the colossal sound that was coming from the front seat.
"I slept through that - Brooke what the hell have you done to Nathan's face?" Brooke smiled, satisfied.
"Shh baby, I'm getting him back for keeping me up all night and not letting me get my beauty sleep. It's just a bit of fun so we can see how far down the road we can get without him noticing. Please don't tell him!" Brooke stuck out her lower lip and Brooke caved in.
"oh alright, I guess it could be amusing," Brooke quickly kissed him on the lips.
"You bet it will broody!" Luke looked puzzled, "Yeah, well you seemed pretty broody yesterday and so I thought that this was the perfect time to give you a nickname…" Lucas smirked,
"Okay, broody it is then, as long as you'll be my cheery," Brooke beamed,
"You bet broody! Now go get dressed and I'll go wake Nathan so that our ears won't be in so much pain anymore." Luke chuckled and did as Brooke said.
Brooke crawled through to the driver's seat and started to shake Nathan awake.
"Nathan…… Nathan…. NATHAN SCOTT WAKE THE HELL UP!" He woke with a start and looked around as if it was the last place he'd have expected to be in. As it dawned on him the reason that he had been sleeping in a car, he glared at Brooke.
"Natey, please don't get angry, I am so sorry. And to show you how sorry I am, I've played a little practical joke in which you and me can laugh along together at. Now I've kinda drawn some art on Luke's face. And PLEASE don't tell him that I've done it, I wanna see how far we can get down the road before he notices." Nathan smiled at the excited Brooke.
"Well, I guess this could be fun, I'm just gonna go get changed,"
"You bet this is gonna be fun Natey," Brooke giggled. Neither of them knew what was coming.

"Boys! Hurry up! I'm hungreeeey! And Brooke Davis is not nice when she's hungry!" Not 5 seconds later the three of them were already speeding down the road, Luke and Nathan desperately looking for the nearest diner. When Luke seemed not to be taking any notice either of them, Nathan leaned into Brooke.
"I must say Davis, I like the artwork." She chuckled,
"Me too Natey, me too." Luke suddenly breathed a sigh of relief,
"I can see a diner!" He parked the car and halted, "Brooke, seen as you're the one who is so desperate for food, how about you go and get it for the three of us." Brooke thought about it for a minute.
"Um broody, I don't think that's a good idea for two reasons. Number one because you know how long I take to make decisions, remember when we went out to buy those shoes? And Number two, because I might get so angry that you to have made me go inside all by myself and risk being attacked, that I don't get you guys anything at all." The two brothers were out of the car by the time she had finished. They were so easy…
…about 30 seconds later, two disgruntled Scott brothers returned to the car. Brooke noticed that they were both trying to look disgruntled, but secretly thought that they knew what was going on. Brooke feigned innocence.
"What's up boys? Where's my food?" Nathan looked at Luke to start.
"Well see Brooke, we got up to the counter, after deciding what we wanted to get for us, and before we could even say anything the guy on the counter said 'you know boys, we don't like practical jokes, so can you please get the hell out of here?' Next minute we had both been chucked out of the diner!" Brooke pretended to be very shocked,
"Well they can't just chuck you out for no reason whatsoever! What's wrong with you both? Go back in and demand an explanation!" Both of the men cheered up at this, they both loved to get the other into an embarrassing situation.
2 minutes later and both of them came out looking very very angry. 'Oops' thought Brooke. It looked like her fun had been short-lived.
"Davis! What they hell did you do to my face! You said it was just Lucas that you had messed up, but look at the state of me!" Brooke tried not to laugh, but she honestly couldn't help it. There was Nathan with 'boytoy' written across his forehead and lots of little pictures around his face to go with it. And then there was Luke, who she'd stolen her best friend Peyton's nickname for - Goldilocks. His face was covered with bears and anything that sprung to her mind at the time. Both of these faces were now contorted with anger and were flushed red. So it hadn't lasted long, but it had been funny. Brooke looked at the two men expectantly,
"What do you want?" Nathan spat out. She sighed,
"Well did you manage to get any food whilst you were in there?" Brooke smiled sweetly as the younger brother glared,
"You little -" Luke held Nathan back before he did anything stupid.
"Fine then! I guess I'll have to go in and get myself something…" Brooke looked a the two brothers, but neither of them looked like they were going to back down. Not even close. Brooke spun round but as she walked away she could hear Nathan's voice pleading with Luke for them to get away. Without her. Brooke grinned slyly, they just had no idea.
"Uh Natey, I sure would think before you try to pull a fast one on me. See, I seem to have something you need…" Brooke rooted around her pockets and Nathan just looked more and more smug, "uh, maybe, the keys." That stopped Nathan in his tracks. He turned and stormed off into the car. As Brooke made her way through the old doors into the diner, she could hear some latest rap song blaring through the speakers. Was it Eminem? Probably not, seen as he was the only one that Brooke could name.
She returned 10 minutes later with bags of food. She'd been delayed when she got talking to the guy on the counter - he'd replayed the two occasions that Luke and Nathan had walked into the diner. It had Brooke in hysterics and by the end of it she was crying with laughter. She'd also showed him the millions of pictures she had taken of them in full face paints when they had been sleeping, mouths open and everything. She had even gone to the lengths of recording Nathan's snores so that she could tease him mercilessly whenever she wanted.
Something had changed though, she realised as she stepped into the car. What was it? Had she actually stepped into the wrong car? Then it hit her. She had no-one to keep her company in the backseat. Nathan had moved next to Lucas in the front. They were both silent, waiting for Brooke to explode. So she didn't.
"Lukey baby, will you come and keep me company, I'm feeling a bit lonely back here," Brooke whispered in that husky voice she knew he loved. She smiled as she could see him begin to waver, but her smile turned to annoyance when Nathan looked at his brother sternly and Lucas replied,
"Uh, sorry Brooke. Um, you know, I uh, um, hate Nathan to drive this car. It's my baby." Brooke huffed.
"And I'm not!" Brooke rooted through her bag. If that was the way they wanted it, then that was fine. She could have plenty of un all by herself. She eventually found what she was looking for.
"Ahah! Gotcha! Legally Blonde 3, I have been waiting so long to watch you!" Brooke waited for a reaction from Nathan, and she certainly got one. Forgetting that he wasn't supposed to be talking to Brooke, he quickly spun around.
"What! Legally Blonde 3! I never even knew there was one!" Brooke smirked,
"Well Natey, between you and me, this is one of the first copies that has actually been made. My daddy hasn't seen me in a wile, and so, to make up for it he decided to pull some strings at his film company and send me this. Noone form the general public actually knows that there is a third one. And I was going to watch it with you. It's such a shame that you decided to go and sit next to Luke."
"Oh it's okay, I'm sure Luke won't mind if I come and sit with you, he'll just be driving anyway." Brooke shook her head forcefully,
"No no no, you and broody should have some brotherly bonding time together. Don't worry about me, I'll just be sat here, watching Legally Blonde 3." Brooke saw Nathan scowl. OH well, that's what you got for messing with Brooke Davis.
Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
"OH MY GOD WE ARE ACTUALLY HERE!" Brooke screamed, frightening the life out of Lucas and Nathan. Nathan had eventually coma and sat in the back seat with Brooke, it turned out he couldn't live without his driving buddy; so felt her scream with full force.
"Yeah Davis, and we couldn't have noticed that by the bigass sign that's right over there." Nathan pointed and Brooke just rolled her eyes.
"I don't care! I'm just so excited - LUKE STOP THE CAR. STOP THE CAR RIGHT NOW!" Luke quickly put his practised emergency stop into action, but before he had actually come to a halt, Brooke had already leapt out of the car. "P. SAWYER! Oh my god it's really you!" Brooke threw her arms around the curly haired blonde girl.
"Brooke! I've missed you so much! What the hell are you doing - wow, who are the hotties in the car you just jumped out of?" Brooke heard an annoyed cough coming from the boy standing next to Peyton.
"Jake! I missed you too! And don't you worry, you are so much hotter than those two. One of them is totally booky and the other is completely obsessed with Legally Blonde… Jenny! Don't you feel left out of all of this, I have most definitely missed you the most of all out of anyone. Goldilocks hasn't made you all angsty yet has she?" Jenny giggled and this reassured Brooke who gave the little girl a wink. Jenny was almost a year old, and was the daughter of both Peyton and Jake. They were the sweetest family ever and Brooke swore that if Peyton ever made Jenny all moody and depressed then Brooke was going to have to take her away.
After the first excitement of seeing Brooke, Peyton became curious. Why was Brooke back in Tree Hill? She hardly ever came to visit, only for birthdays and such, but as far as Peyton knew there were none of them happening any time soon. Brooke noticed Peyton's 'thinking' face and decided to intervene.
"Oh, you're wondering why I'm here? It's 'cos I missed you all so much! What, you're not buying that? Oh okay. Well it really is a long story, and it all has to do with our dear Haley. It's always the quiet ones isn't it? Well anyway, could we meet up for dinner tonight with those two heffalumps over there, and Jake too of course, and I'll explain everything? First we need to get to my house 'cos, after another long story, we ended up sleeping in the car - Peyton, it was not my fault! And don't even believe those two if they say it was - and I was the only one who had a shower. Broody and toyboy say they were going to have a shower this morning, but you know, how can you tell? But now they're smelling really bad. You'll probably be able to smell them all the way to your house. " Jake stared at Brooke blankly. He had not understood a word she had said. He looked down at Jenny, disbelieving that somebody could talk so fast and about something so random. Jenny chuckled.
"Right, I know I'm like one of your bestest friends ever, but even I got a bit lost in all of that. And uh, Jake probably thinks you're speaking Russian. So I got out of that that you want to meet us for dinner tonight? Well sorry sweetie, there's the Annual Tree Hill Christmas Ball on tonight, and I'm afraid to say it's the highlight of the year in Tree Hill." Peyton looked at Brooke, expecting her to be annoyed at being blown off. In fact, Brooke was jumping up and down madly.
"Oh my god! How could I forget? Of course it's the ball. Right, it starts at 8 yeah? Don't worry, we'll be there. Speak t'ya later, byee." Brooke ran off, leaving a whirlwind of chaos behind her. Jake had his mouth hanging wide open and Peyton was just chuckling. Brooke was definitely back.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
"Oh my god Scott brothers, I have like the most amazing news ever!" Nathan looked scathingly at the girl who had just bounced back to the car.
"What, you mean more amazing than when you found 'Just Married' tucked into the bottom of that huge box you brought?" Brooke didn't notice the sarcasm and just carried on.
"Well yeah! We are going to the annual Tree Hill Ball!" Brooke waited for a reaction from the two men. She didn't get one. They both stared blankly at her until Nathan processed what she was saying.
"No no no no no. You are NOT, I repeat NOT taking me to some rubbishy ball where I have to wear some stupid stuffy suit all night." Brooke looked undeterred.
"Don't worry Natey, it isn't rubbishy. And it's called a tux not a suit so don't get your panties all in a twist. So right now we are going to get said tux and we are gonna get me the most perfect dress EVER!" Nathan sighed and leaned back into his seat. This was going to be a long afternoon/evening.
"Davis? Isn't this all a bit like a movie? You know, like it is too predictable to be true?" Brooke just laughed and settled down in her seat. This was going to be fun.
The main reason Brooke wanted to go to the Ball was one that she wasn't going to tell anybody. Once Brooke had become friends with Haley, and forced her to go the ball, Haley had absolutely loved it. She wouldn't have missed a chance not to go to the Ball. Which meant that they might find Haley sooner than any of them had expected.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
"Hello? Is anyone here? Rita? It's Brooke! I need emergency assistance!" Brooke heard a crash from the ceiling and realised that something had fallen from upstairs. Next moment a red haired woman came bounding down the stairs.
"Brookey? Oh my god you're back! I have so missed my best customer! Peyton just does not come in here often enough now you're gone." Rita enveloped Brooke into a huge hug and then turned to the two boys standing awkwardly in the corner and hugged them too.
"Well Brooke, aren't you going to introduce me to these two fine specimens?" Brooke grinned, Rita was still Rita.
"Okay so boys, this is my Auntie Rita, and Rita, this is Lucas, my boyfriend and Nathan, the most annoying guy on the planet who I ahev no idea why we brought him along for the ride. There was an indignant cry of 'Hey!' from Nathan but Brooke and Rita just ignored it.
"Wow, so Brooke which one is yours, so I can have the other one." Nathan flushed bright red and Rita automatically knew that the one she referred to was him.
"Uh sorry Aunt Rita, but I think Nathan might be taken. By who you ask? Well, our very own Haley!" Nathan turned to storm out of the shop but Luke caught his arm. Luke had realised that they were clearly in a dress and tux shop. Nathan walking out meant that he would have to face the wrath of Brooke and her equally crazy Aunt by himself. And he wasn't sure that he could handle that yet.
"Right okay then Rita. As you know, it's the ball tonight, and I need two tuxes for these boys and something for me. Got something I might like?" Rita thought for a minute and then beamed.
"Got it. Right boys, please go into those two changing rooms over there, I will bring your clothes over to you shortly." The two boys followed these orders obligingly and Brooke sat on one of the sofas, leafing through the bridal magazines on the table.
5 minutes later, the Scott brothers appeared from their assigned changing rooms. Brooke gasped, they both did in fact look beautiful; and that was the word for it. Lucas' tux was black with a dark red bow tie and waistcoat, and Nathan's was almost matching but blue, bringing out the icy cold blue of his eyes. Nathan knew that he looked good, and was impressed, however Lucas looked uncomfortable.
"Aw broody, what's wrong?" Lucas shyly decided to tell her the problem.
"Well, uh , I feel so uncomfortable wearing this, it doesn't help the fact that I am wearing dark red, a colour that makes me feel stupid anyway. Why can't I wear blue like Nathan? I have blue eyes too!" Brooke looked to Rita for an answer, who just sighed.
"You can't both wear the exact same tux, that would look completely ridiculous. I'm sorry Lucas, but you will have to wear the red, it fits with the look I am going for." Luke hung his head, "Right then boys, I am now going to help Brooke. This may take a while longer than you two took, so I have a play station thingy out back that you can both play on." Nathan scampered quickly off, this was his type of paradise, whilst Lucas just soberly followed behind.
Brooke laughed. "Playstation?" Rita nodded,
"Yeah, the ten year old boys often get bored when their mum brings them here. I thought I might as well keep them happy as well. Now, I need to find a red dress…"
Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Brooke entered the house that obviously had not been lived in for a long time. It seemed that her parents had not returned from the 'vacation' they went on 4 years previously.
She sent Lucas and Nathan off to two different bathrooms on either side of the house. Brooke had been joking when she had said to Peyton that they both smelled; but they didn't exactly smell their nicest.
Brooke then made her way up to her bedroom on the second floor. She opened the door and things had been left exactly as they were on year before. Someone may have come in and cleaned, but they'd obviously been told to try not to touch anything. The cuddly toys that Brooke had slept with as a child were still lined up on her bed, her pink curtains surrounding the four poster. She made her way over to the wall hanging by her window. She had stuck on pictures of her memories throughout her life.
The material was long and stretched from one wall end to the other. At the very left were pictures of her as a baby, the only ones which had her parents in the pictures. Even back then Brooke was smiling constantly.
It moved on to when Brooke was a toddler, and she was standing in the most unfashionable clothes next to a girl with just as bad fashion taste which completely clashed with her blonde curly hair.
The pictures of these two girls slowly changed to them at the park, first days of school and then high school, were most of the pictures were taken with boys - they often had Jake in and then whatever random boy Brooke was with at the time - and then ones at parties where they were having a lot of fun, maube a little too much fun at times.
Pictures of them as cheerleaders, taken by Jake lined then next part of the wall.
About halfway through, a third girl started to enter all the pictures. Haley. She was just as smiley as the other two, and then pictures of Peyton started to peter out when Brooke and Haley went to New York. There were millions of pictures of Jenny as a baby and then Peyton, Jake, Haley and Brooke at special occasions.
Brooke smiled as she reached the end of the wall hanging so far and brushed a tears off her cheek that she hadn't realised was falling. She then quickly sprang into action and plugged her phone into a small device next to her computer. A few click of some buttons later and Brooke had pictures of the four of them (Haley, Brooke, Nathan and Lucas) at the cabin in the woods and most recently picture of the three of them on the roadtrip. Pictures of Lucas trying to drive with Brooke putting him off; Brooke and Nathan grinning cheesily; a picture of a large pile of sand, presumably covering a car, and then Lucas and Nathan in all their glory with writing all over their cheeks.
These were quickly stuck onto the wall and Brooke stepped into the shower.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
About 2 hours later, Brooke stepped out of her bedroom, completely ready. She knew that Lucas and Nathan were already ready, after about an hour they had come complaining at her door, but she brushed them off, sending them to the living room to watch some basketball or whatever they did.
Brooke glided down the stairs, giggling when she saw Luke and Nathan screaming at the tv. After about 30 seconds though, she got bored of them watching the tv and decided they should be watching her.
"Uhhuhhmm." Brooke cleared her throat. The brothers turned around simultaneously and Brooke grinned at their reactions. Nathan looked pretty impressed, and said 'looking good Davis' before turning back to the t.v, whilst Lucas' mouth was hanging down on the floor.
"You like baby?" She twirled.
"Uh… um… uh .. Yeah… I love."
Lucas was shocked. Well not shocked, because he knew how beautiful Brooke was, and she looked the most beautiful when she had no make up on at all. But she looked so sexy standing there in front of him. He now realised why Rita had made him wear red.
Brooke's dress was dark red and the neck line flowed downwards to her navel. It was long, however there was a large slit up the side which Luke could only gape at. Her hair was curled and her make-up was applied to perfection. Lucas was rudely interrupted in his thoughts by Nathan pulling on his sleeve.
"Come on bro' we're off, her lady has ordered so we must follow." Nathan smirked; he had realised how 'whipped' Lucas was.
Bu Lucas didn't care what others thought.
He was in love and he couldn't be happier.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Probably not as long as the last chapter though I had a lot of fun writing it.
Sorry I haven't brought Haley back into it yet, but she IS going to return next chapter.
ALSO IN NEXT CHAPTER:
Nathan finds Haley and Jonathan.
Lucas gets a phone call from someone he really doesn't want to hear from.
Hope you liked this, please review!
