Chapter 13

It was Friday, and Brooke was getting ready to go to Tric. She wanted to go, but it just wasn't the same. She didn't want to get drunk and go home with some random guy. She just wanted to be…with Lucas. There, she said it. She had admitted it. It took her a long time but now she was for sure about it. No doubts, no regrets, she wanted him. All of him, forever and ever. She didn't know how she was going to even tell him that or if she was going to tell him that but she knew that if she didn't admit it, it would be nagging at her forever. Her thoughts were soon interrupted when Haley came bursting through her bedroom door.

"Alright Tigger, let's battle that closet!" Haley exclaimed and walked over to Brooke's large, walk in closet.

Haley then pulled out a pink tank top that was cut low, and had lace on it. Brooke looked at it and scrunched her nose.

"Haley, I'm not going to a birthday party I'm going to a club!" Brooke yelled.

Haley rolled her eyes and smiled. She then saw the perfect top for Brooke to wear, and she was sure Lucas would love it too. It was a black tank top cut low with some sparkle at the edges. She held it up to Brooke, who now, was smiling.

"Now tutor girl, that's a clubbing shirt!" She exclaimed happily.

Haley smiled triumphantly. Now she had to look for pants. She pulled out light colored jeans and Brooke once again, did not look happy.

"Hales! Are you trying to get me to look like the worst person there!" Brooke yelled.

"Oh yeah Brooke, I want you to look horrible tonight so no one talks to you. Does that sound like me?" Haley said sarcastically.

"Okay okay I believe you." Brooke said in defeat.

Haley then went back into the walk in closet and saw the perfect dark jeans that she hoped Brooke would like. She brought them out to Brooke and Brooke had a new face on.

"So, do you like it?" Haley asked when Brooke didn't answer.

Brooke nodded and smiled.

"Oh Hales I finally taught you how to dress hot!" Brooke exclaimed and went over to hug the now annoyed Haley.

Haley gave in and hugged her back, but only because Brooke gave her half of a compliment.

"Okay, well I'm ready, and you're ready so lets go meet up with Peyton and Jake." Haley said trying to drag Brooke out of the room that she had been in for the past hour and a half.

"Just a second!" Brooke called from inside of the bedroom.

"Come on Brooke we really need to get going! We could miss the band!" Haley said and she knew that stuck with her. Just then, a sexy, confident and beautiful Brooke Davis appeared in the doorway.

"Well, what are we waiting for? Let's go!" Brooke said excitedly as Haley laughed and was dragged by Brooke out the door.

Haley and Brooke went to the café to meet up with Peyton and Jake. Brooke saw them and immediately hugged Jake after seeing the smiling face that Peyton had on.

"So Jake, turns out you didn't mess up like I thought you would." Brooke said and smiled.

Jake laughed.

"You know, I just kept picturing you coming after me, so I figured, I should try not to mess it up this time." He said.

"Brooke! You actually said that?" Peyton asked.

"Well I had to make sure he wasn't going to leave again!" She yelled.

Peyton was at first annoyed, but then she realized that Brooke was just being a great friend. She smiled and went over and hugged Brooke.

Haley checked the time; they still didn't need to be at Tric for another hour. She then thought of something they could all do.

"Okay well you guys, were still early. Let's do something before we go." Haley said.

"Shopping?" Brooke asked hopefully.

Peyton, Jake, and Haley groaned.

"No Brooke, no more shopping. We went out all day just to find you an outfit to wear for today…and you didn't even wear it!" Haley exclaimed.

Brooke rolled her eyes.

"Okay, okay fine. But what do you guys want to do then?" Brooke asked.

"I think I have an idea…" Haley said and led them to a little bar just across the street from the café.

When they walked in, Brooke remembered her night here with Lucas, and how they had so much fun. Her heart broke just thinking about the memory because shortly after, she found out he was sneaking around with Peyton. She then looked around the room at all the guys and more memories came back to her. She would come here to get drunk whenever she had a problem or just if she wanted to. She didn't want to do that tonight.

"Hey Brooke were going to play some pool you in?" Jake asked.

Brooke smiled. She could kick all of their butts in just an hour at pool.

"Jagelski did you even have to ask?" Brooke said and skipped over to the pool table.

Jake laughed and walked over with her.

"Okay, I'm going to get a few drinks." Peyton said. "Brooke, do you want anything?"

Brooke thought about it. She didn't want to be piss drunk at Tric and have some random guy take her home.

"Uh, no thanks I think I'm going to sit this one out tonight." She replied and went back to fiddling with the pool stick.

Peyton smiled and nodded. She was glad Brooke refused to drink. She hated seeing her friend run to the bar for her problems.

While Peyton was gone, Brooke, Haley, and Jake decided the teams.

"Two against two." Brooke declared.

"I call Peyton!" Jake yelled.

Brooke laughed.

"Sorry guys, but Peyton and me have always been pool buddies."

Jake looked a little disappointed until Haley came around.

"That's okay Brooke, you'll just have to deal with losing then." Haley said and laughed while she watched Brooke's serious face turn into a smirk.

Peyton returned with the drinks and saw that Brooke was on her team. Brooke wanted to repair the friendship that was lost and she thought this was a good way to do it. And, they really had always been pool buddies even though, Brooke was the one that played pool most of the time.

Jake looked at Peyton, like he wanted to switch. He liked Haley, but he loved Peyton.

"Sorry Jake, hoes over bros." Peyton said and walked on the other side of the table with Brooke. Brooke smiled.

"Alright let's get to playing!" Brook announced and set up the balls in the triangle.

Haley and Jake laughed while Peyton cheered her on and helped her set up.

Brooke took the first turn, then Haley, then Peyton, and finally Jake.

"Watch this, Jagelski." Brooke yelled, as she got ready to hit another ball into to hole. It was halfway through the game and Brooke and Peyton were winning.

"Yes!" Brooke screamed as another ball fell into the hole.

"Lucky shot!" He exclaimed, not wanting to admit he was getting beat by a girl and his current girlfriend.

Her and Peyton slapped high fives and then did a little victory dance. Peyton then walked over to Jake.

"Sorry sweetie, but she got you." Peyton said and laughed. At first he looked hurt but then he smiled and pulled her into a kiss. The music was blaring and they kept on dancing. Pretty soon, everyone was forgetting about the game and just dancing. But Haley stopped when her cell phone rang.

"Hello?" She asked laughing.

"Hales, where are you?" Lucas asked.

Haley straightened up and looked now worried. She forgot about the time!

"We'll be right there!" Haley yelled and slapped her cell phone shut.

She turned around and tapped everyone.

"We have to go!" She yelled as she pushed everyone out of the bar. They all looked at her, confused, but ran with her none the less.

They arrived at Tric and were scrambling up the stairs with Haley in the lead, followed by Jake, Peyton, and then finally Brooke.

I've got a funny little feeling

my arms are shaking like a lightening rod, yeah

I cannonball right through the ceiling

and sink my teeth in till the feelings gone, yeah

Everyone but Brooke knew about the plan, which was why they were scrambling. They hoped that Jimmy Eat World didn't already play the song they wanted and ran faster. Brooke couldn't keep up and was confused to why everyone was hurrying.

"Jeez you guys so what if were a little late I mean it's not like…" Brooke began but stopped once she reached the top step. There stood Lucas. And the song 'Work' by Jimmy Eat World had just begun.
