So this is it huh? She thought to her self.
This is the small town I chose to live in? So this is Tree Hill? She asked herself again. She smiled proudly. For some reason it gave her a happy feeling. It just looked like such a homie and sweet little town. Much different from her old place she called home and that made her happy.
She asked herself more questions as she drove through the small town searching for the 150,000-dollar apartment she had purchased yesterday. It was actually only 140,000 but she offered the extra ten thousand for the woman to leave as soon as possible. She finally reached the apartment complex.
She sighed as she looked at the white colored buildings, she would soon be living in one of those. It was true her heart would always be in Los Angeles. She loved L.A. but she needed change she needed to get away and start her life over. She figured a small town like this would do her good, it better have after all the work she had done to get here beginning with the 60 hours of driving she did.
She got out of her car and looked up at the apartment with a hopeful smile. After she changed her name and got a bank account she worked out a transfer of money going to her bank from her dads for an amount of $ 400,000. She didn't use the check but she knew all of her fathers account information so it worked out perfect. She thought she deserved more than just the 400,000 after all the shit her mom and dad put her through but she decided she would make her own living soon. So she bought a house and since she ditched her car and pushed it on neutral into a river she figured she could use a car too.
She walked to the trunk of her new car and took her suitcases out.
"You need some help there?" the now named Brooke heard a deep voice ask and she turned around to see a dark haired boy looking at her struggle to get the bags out.
"Uhm, yeah actually some help would be really nice," she said with a deep dimpled smile. He nodded and easily took the huge suitcases out of the trunk. He set them down and closed her trunk and Brooke noticed a wedding band on Nathan's left hand. It really surprised her because she actually thought and hoped he was in high school.
"Nice car you got here" he said admiring her brand new convertible.
"Yeah … its an upgrade from my old one" she smiled proud of the decision she made.
"So my guess would be you're the one who bought Ms. Martinez's old place?" he asked and Brooke nodded. "Yeah your definitely an upgrade from her… she was a real bitch" he said honestly and Brooke laughed as she followed him up the stairs and towards her new home. She unlocked and opened the door, he set the suitcases down inside the apartment.
"Thanks for that" she said with a thankful smile " … what's your name by the way?" Brooke asked.
"No problem … oh and my name is Nathan Scott I live a couple apartments down and I probably go to your high school too" he said and Brooke looked at him shocked
"So you are in high school … I mean you looked like you were in high school but your ring kind of threw me off … I didn't know people got married in high school" she stated and gestured towards his ring.
"People don't" he said and laughed "I know its weird to get married in high school and believe me nobody wanted us to but what can I say? I love her I guess I couldn't see myself not married to her," he admitted and Brooke smiled.
"Good for you … so who is the lucky lady?" she asked and heard a couple knocks at the door.
"Speak of the devil," he said smiling as a brown haired girl walked up to them. "This would be her, Haley this is …" he said and paused for Brooke to fill in the blank.
"Brooke … Brooke Davis" she said and shook Haley's hand.
"Nice to meet you" she said with a smile and looked around Brookes empty apartment
"So where's all your furniture?" Haley asked looking around at the empty apartment. Brooke laughed.
"I kind of did things a little backwards… I still have to go shop for it all" Brooke admitted.
"Oh I see …" Haley said "well if you need any help or just a buddy to tag along when you do that don't be shy to ask" Haley offered.
"Actually that sounds really great, I think I need a friend" Brooke admitted "are you free this afternoon?" Brooke asked and Haley's smile grew.
"Yes I am!" Haley said happily.
"Cool so ill see you around 2?" Brooke asked and Haley nodded
"Sounds perfect … oh but after that maybe you could come hang out at our place because there is this basket ball game and we are having some friends over," Haley offered and Brooke nodded
"Sounds like a plan" she agreed.
000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
"So Brooke where are you from?" Haley asked as they walk through the furniture store. This was the one thing Brooke had not thought about … her alibi.
"Uhm" she stuttered. She decided to tell the vague version of the truth "I don't really like to talk about my past … it was a crappy life" Brooke confessed
"Oh I'm sorry … I was just asking to see if you were like a city girl or …" she said and Brooke cut her off.
"Uhm yeah I am a city girl" Brooke said truthfully.
"Oh … so it must be different living here?" Haley asked and Brooke nodded.
"Yeah … but I was kind of looking for different. I was sick of my old life … Anyways enough about me let's talk about you. I gotta be honest you are a pretty interesting character to me" Brooke said confessed and glad to find a way to change the subject.
"Me?" Haley asked shocked "why am I interesting?" Haley asked confused.
"I don't know you seem different from … well people in general. I mean to begin with I don't think I have ever met someone sixteen and married" Brooke said honestly. She really had never met a sixteen-year old wife. Haley laughed.
"Well I guess you could say I was different … I don't know how to explain it… I guess the best way to say it was that I was in love and I was sure he was the one," she explained.
"Are you still?" Brooke asked curiously and Haley looked at her confused. "In love and sure he is the one" Brooke cleared up the confusion.
"Yes." She answered truthfully.
"So you never regret getting married so young?" she asked. Brooke was really curious. She had always been the type of girl to keep her guard up. Opening up her heart the way Haley and Nathan did for each other was amazing. She never thought a love like that actually existed … where you were so sure of the love … of each other, it made her wonder if she would ever have it.
"Well I am not going lie, there are these days where I am just so frustrated because we are minors and getting money isn't exactly so easy when your sixteen and we need money for rent and food and the list goes on but in the end we love each other and that's enough" Haley said with a proud smile.
"Wow" Brooke said. This conversation was really making her think about a lot " … well speaking of money do you know any where I could get a job?" Brooke asked and Haley looked at her shocked.
"You don't have a job?" Haley asked shocked and Brooke shook her head "how are you buying everything we just bought?" she asked.
"Long story and also part of the crappy life" Brooke said and Haley nodded understanding.
"Well in that case your lucky … I actually work for my best friends mom and his mom is absolutely amazing …" she began but Brooke stopped Haley.
"His mom? You mean to tell me you are best friends with a guy and you didn't like fall for him or whatever … this town is definitely different where I used to live you couldn't be friends with a guy without getting all love struck … unless he is ugly… is he ugly you can be honest" Brooke said and Haley laughed.
"No he is not ugly … he is just a jerk to most girls … well really just other girls and jerk isn't really my type … I guess I shouldn't say that though considering Nathan was one of those jerk a while ago" Haley admitted.
"So this guy is a jerk … what was the difference with Nathan?" Brooke asked curiously
"Well I think the difference is I could actually change Nathan …Lucas chooses to stick to his bad habits" Haley explained and Brooke nodded her head understanding.
"So this Lucas guy is a jerk," she said switching the subject back to the Lucas character.
"Yeah … but not to me, I have know him since we were in diapers and once you get to know him he is actually a really amazing person. He is like this deep, poetic, and artistic guy … I don't get why he hides the real him and I really don't know why he is such a jerk to everyone else but me …" Haley said and tried to think about it like the many times she had before.
"Anyways you haven't even gotten the best detail … he is also Nathan's half brother" Haley said and smiled widely
"Wow this seems like a confusing story" Brooke laughed and looked at the time on her brand new cell phone she bought. " …We better get back to your apartment" Brooke said when she noticed the time.
000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
"Hey" Haley said as she walked through the door. Brooke saw a bunch of guys watching a game and some girls in the kitchen talking. When Brooke immediately noticed the two separate groups she smiled.
"Hales where have you been?" a blonde skinny girl asked. Brooke looked down noticing all eyes were currently on her, including the girl who was talking to Haley.
"Uhm, well I was out shopping for furniture with Brooke" Haley said and pointed at Brooke who just smiled and looked at the small group of girls with a tiny wave. "She lives a couple of apartments down from us and I was just helping her get settled." Haley explained
"Oh" the girls said in unison.
"So Brooke does it feel weird being the new girl?" a red headed girl asked.
"Who brought in the trash anyways?" Haley asked glaring at the red head.
"I did thank you," the red head snapped glaring back.
"Why is it you always find a way of inviting yourself Rachel?" Haley asked and Rachel rolled her eyes.
"So why is it I sense tension in this relationship?" Brooke asked with a smile a she gestured to Haley and Rachel.
"Nothing much to say besides Rachel is a whore" Haley said and Brookes eyes got wide. She guessed they really didn't like each other.
"Well Haley is just a little bitch know-it-all" Rachel snapped back and Brooke stopped them before they continued.
"Forget I asked" Brooke said with a laughed and Haley sighed removing her attention from Rachel.
"Can I get you anything Brooke?" Haley asked. Brooke noticed the beer in Nathan's hand.
"Uhm yeah …you got any more of those beers?" Brooke asked and nodded towards the beer in Nathan's hand.
"Sure do" Haley said and got a beer out handing it to Brooke. Brooke twisted the top off and took a gulp of the beer.
"So just curious who buys you guys the drinks?" Brooke asked realizing they were all underage.
"I steal it from daddy dearest" Nathan said finally standing up from watching the game and grabbing another beer.
"Ah I see" Brooke said … she noticed how Nathan didn't really use a happy tone when he spoke of his father but she let it go figuring it would come up later.
"So do you guys like do this all the time?" Brooke asked curiously.
"Well we usually have basket ball games and the girls cheer while we play … after the games there are usually some good parties but there this weeks game got canceled … guess you chose a sucky time to come here Brooke" Nathan explained and Brooke shook her head no.
"Nah, this is pretty cool, I mean parties do sound a little better but this is ok every once in a while" Brooke admitted and took another drink of beer.
"Well, well who do we have here?" a deep blue- eyed blonde eying Brooke asked walking up to the group of girls and Nathan. The blonde skinny girl didn't seem to like that Lucas was flirting with Brooke witch kind of made her interested to find out who this guy was.
"This Lucas is …" Nathan began and Brooke stopped him smiling and realizing it was the jerk best friend Haley told her about. She looked him up and down. She wasn't going to lie he was pretty damn sexy and she couldn't believe someone who came off as such a pig and an ass was a really deep, poetic, and artistic person deep down.
"Brooke Davis" she said and shook Lucas' hand.
"Hello Brooke Davis" he said and he looked her up and down and bit his bottom lip. He wanted her bad and it was written all over his face. She laughed.
"Don't waste your time … I'm way out of your league" she informed him letting go of his hand and finishing her beer with a smirk on her face. Lucas looked at her in disbelief as the rest of the group laughed.
"I like this girl" the blonde girl said smiling at Brooke.
"Yeah me too" Lucas said giving her a wink. Brooke rolled her eyes … she knew this would be Lucas' new favorite game.
"Say what do you say about joining the cheer team?" the blonde girl asked ignoring Lucas' comment and Brooke shrugged.
"Seems interesting … I'm in" she said and the girl smiled happily.
"I'm Peyton by the way" the girl said "welcome to the squad" she finished.
"You're not even going to give me one of those auditions or whatever?" Brooke asked surprised
"I'm sure you'll be fine" Peyton assure her and Brooke shrugged hoping Peyton was right. Brooke was never really the cheerleading popular type. She wasn't popular but she didn't consider herself a nerd either because she knew and talked to all the popular people she just never got involved with their groups because she knew if she did all her secrets would come out and now that she had a new life she would try the whole cheerleading thing out.
00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
Brooke opened the fridge and grabbed another beer. She turned away from the fridge shocked. She jumped because Lucas was right in front of her. She could feel the hot breath coming from his laughing mouth land on her neck.
"Yeah very funny" she said and rolled her eyes at his stupid games that were obviously beginning. She escaped from the corner Lucas had her in and She hopped onto the kitchen counter and took a gulp of her beer. He just starred at her.
"Is there something I could help you with?" Brooke asked annoyed with him starring at her.
"I think you already know what you could help me with," he said with a smirk on his face and Brooke laughed.
"Sorry guy … not going to happen" she assured him and took another drink of her beer. She couldn't believe how straight forward he was being.
"Maybe not yet … but it will eventually. I am very persistent when it comes to getting what I want" he explained and Brooke nodded with a smile.
"That makes two of us." She said simply "You see though Lucas you don't know me because if you did you would know you should just give up already …I stick to my word and I mean what I say … your not getting anywhere near these pants" she said simply before hopping off the counter and walking past him.
"Well what about tomorrows pair?" he asked with a smirk and she laughed
"Wow you really are persistent" she said and shook her head in disbelief at him.
"I told you" he said simply and shrugged.
"Lucas you can go ahead and keep trying but keep in mind I already warned you that I am way out of your league and you are definitely wasting your time" she said and Lucas nodded.
"Whatever you say," he said with smile and she rolled her eyes before walking away.
000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
"So thanks for the air mattress," Brooke said as she looked down at what she held which was what she would be sleeping on for tonight. "But I better get home" she admitted knowing she had a lot to do to get ready for the first day of school tomorrow. She really had to make an impression on people.
"No problem … so ill see you tomorrow at school?" Haley asked and Brooke nodded.
"Definitely … ill see you then" Brooke said and they said their goodbyes. Brooke walked out and walked into her apartment.
As soon as she got in there she dropped the air mattress on the floor and walked into her bathroom taking a shower. After wards she softly rubbed lotion on her legs and arms like she had always done … she taught herself how to be clean because she didn't have a regular mom to teach her. Once she was finished she began blow-drying her hair. As soon as she finished that she put on a pair of her favorite comfortable but really short shorts and a tank top for pajamas.
She walked over to the air mattress and blew it up with the pump that came in the box. She laid her sheets and pillow down on it and she sat down on it looking around her empty apartment and sighed this is just the beginning she thought to herself.
So far so good she completed her thought and then looked at her open suitcase. She figured she should pick out what she would wear tomorrow but that thought erased from her mind when she heard a few knocks coming from her door. She was surprised but she shrugged figuring it was Nathan or Haley and answered it.
"What are you doing here?" she asked and rolled her eyes as she crossed her arms over her flat stomach.
"I think you know" he said simply and looked her up and down. She looked simply perfect. Her skin was smooth and silky. her body was tanned perfectly and the minimal of clothing didn't help the way Lucas was feeling. She raised her eyebrow and laughed.
"Wow … you seriously have the biggest ego ever!" she said and rolled her eyes at him "have a good night Lucas," she said and shut the door but Lucas held the door open.
"What do you want Lucas?!" she asked a little annoyed. She didn't even know this guy and he was all over her.
"I'm sorry Brooke … I really don't mean to bug you. Look all I have to say is just give me a chance" he said and Brooke actually saw the deep side of him "and well move forward from there" he said and gave her a wink. She rolled her eyes.
"Look I don't even know you and you sure as hell don't know me! But I cant stand two faced people and from what I can see you are exactly that … two faced" Brooke explained why she didn't intent on getting to know him.
"Whatever you say Brooke … but they always fall for me, you will too sooner or later" Lucas assured her and Brooke rolled her eyes while nodding her head.
"Goodnight Lucas Scott" Brooke said
"Good night Brooke Davis" he said back and Brooke shut the door. She had to admit that boy made one hell of an impression on her and she was eager to see more of him. Her first day in her brand new world left her wanting to know what else would happen.
