Hey, thanks for the reviews! Sorry for such a long time before an update! I've been thinking about possibly ending this fanfic next chapter and taking a break and then writing a sequel… I don't own One Tree Hill! xoxo Caitlyn
Who To Choose
Chapter 8:
"Brooke, you there?" Nathan asked
"Yeah sorry, I just like zoned out." Brooke said sitting down on the blanket.
"So, are you ready for the first course?" Nathan asked
"Yes I am." Brooke said
"Ok," Nathan said as he pulled out his black razr cell phone and texted to someone. Three freshmen came out of nowhere with two salads, different dressings, and a bottle of red wine. The freshmen gave them their food and poured them their wine, "Thanks guys."
"The wine is really good." Brooke said as she took a sip.
"Thanks I had it imported from the south of France." Nathan said as they ate their salads in quiet, "Tell me when you are ready for main course."
"Right now would be good, if you're ready." Brooke said wiping her mouth with her napkin.
"I'm ready." Nathan said, "Is your favorite meal still lobster and shrimp?"
"Yeah it is." Brooke said as Nathan took out his cell and he texted one of the freshmen. They came out with a platter of shrimp and lobster, they served Brooke and Nathan, "This is delicious, Nate."
"Thanks," Nathan said, "So, what I really wanted to say to you today at lunch was that I'm okay with just being friends, and I guess I understand if you have feelings for Lucas."
"Thanks, I really want us to be friends." Brooke said as she finished off her meal.
"Yeah, I do too." Nathan said as he finished too, "are you still hungry?"
"Not really, I could still eat but I'm not like starving or anything." Brooke said as she set her plate aside.
"Do you want desert?" Nathan asked
"Sure," Brooke said
"Okay," Nathan said as he texted one of the guys.
"You do realized that tomorrow all the little freshmen are going to have your cell phone number, right." Brooke said
"Nah, I told them if they told anyone my number I would make their lives miserable." Nathan said smirking
"Oh really." Brooke said, "I highly doubt that scares them."
"And why wouldn't it?" Nathan asked cockily
"Because you're you." Brooke said in a joking manor.
"That is it you're going in." Nathan said walking over to where Brooke was sitting, he picked her up, and threw her over his shoulder walking towards the ocean.
"Stop, Nathan, I take it back, they are scared of you." Brooke said kicking her feet trying to get him to put her down but it didn't work. "Please Nathan, this is one of my favorite dresses, if I get it wet it will be ruined."
"You can buy a new one." Nathan said getting closer to the water
"No I can't I had this dress specially made for me, there isn't another dress like it." Brooke said begging him.
"Fine, but only if you say that Nathan Scott is the coolest, hottest, funniest guy in the whole world." Nathan said
"Uhhhh fine, Nathan Scott is the coolest, hottest, funniest guy in the whole world!" Brooke said, Nathan put her back on the ground, "If anyone finds out I said that I will so kill you."
"Oh oops." Nathan said as he held out his cell phone.
"You voice recorded it! Give it to me." Brooke said as she reached for the phone.
"No way." Nathan said holding his phone above his head, knowing Brooke couldn't reach it. Brooke pushed Nathan onto the ground sat on top of him and grabbed his phone, she deleted the voice recording.
"Say that Brooke Penelope Davis is the hottest, sexiest, coolest, funniest girl in the whole world." Brooke said smirking at him.
"Brooke Penelope Davis is NOT" Nathan started to say as he used his strength to flip them over so he was on top of Brooke, "the hottest, sexiest, coolest, funniest girl in the world."
"That isn't fair; you're like a lot stronger than me." Brooke said pouting her infamous pouty face.
"So," Nathan said still having her pined down underneath him
"Now, can you please get off me?" Brooke asked trying to push him off.
"Nope, not until you admit that I am the hottest guy in the world." Nathan said grabbing the phone out of her hands.
"Fine Nathan is the hottest guy in the world." Brooke said
"Thank you," Nathan said as he got off of her and saved the voice recording. The freshmen delivered two pieces of chocolate cheesecake, "I hope you like cheesecake."
"I love it." Brooke said digging into the cake. They both finished and they talked for a while, "I should be getting home now."
"Okay." Nathan said standing up. He walked her over to her car, "Bye Brooke, thank you for the wonderful night."
"Thank you, the food was delicious." Brooke said, she got into her car and drove away. She looked at her cell phone and saw her parents calling, she answered it.
"Hey Brookie, how are you?" Brooke's mom said to Brooke through the phone.
"Great mom, how are you?" Brooke replied back not sounding too enthused.
"I'm doing fine, so the reason why I'm calling is that we are moving to California." Brooke's mom said sounding very cheerful.
"What." Brooke said very angry, "You're joking right."
"No, I'm not, your dad and I are going to find a house now, and then next week over break we are going to move you." Brooke's mom said
"Mom, you can't, I'm almost half way through my senior year, you just can't move me." Brooke said.
"Yes, I can." Brooke's mom said, "Well, I have to go Brookie, see you next week, love you." Brooke hung up and the tears started to fall, she drove to the place she new best. She pulled into their driveway and walked in.
"Oh my god, Brooke are you okay." Peyton said as she saw Brooke walk into her room, she gave Brooke a nice big hug.
"My parents are moving me next week to California." Brooke said as she hugged Peyton back while letting the tears fall.
"What, no they can't." Peyton said rubbing Brooke's back in a circular motion. "There has got to be something we can do."
"No, I tried to tell them I can't move, but they say I have to go." Brooke said crying even harder now.
"Uh this sucks," Peyton said, "Does this mean you forgive me?"
"Yes it does, people make mistakes, I'm sorry I was so hard on you." Brooke said feeling better about becoming friends with Peyton again.
"It is okay, I'm pretty sure I would have been the same way." Peyton said
"Yeah, can I stay here tonight, like old times?" Brooke asked Peyton
"Of course B.Davis." Peyton said as she made the bed ready for when they go to sleep, "So, want to watch a movie, like old times?"
"Definitely." Brooke said, "How about the Notebook?"
"Obviously," Peyton said, "What else would we watch…" Peyton said sarcastically while she put in the movie into her TV in her room. They watched the movie and by the end they were in tears. They fell asleep and when they woke up they got ready for school and Brooke ended up wearing Peyton's clothes. They showed up for school and went to their first class. Brooke was starting to tear up in first block.
"Brooke, it is going to be okay." Peyton whispered to Brooke.
"I know, I just I am going to miss this place." Brooke said.
"This place is going to miss you too!" Peyton said, "Just think about all the great shopping in California, and the cute boys."
"There is good shopping here and cute boys." Brooke said, "Speaking of I don't want to tell Lucas I just became good friends with him. And Nathan too, I just decided to be friends with him again and now I have to move, this stinks!"
"Brooke, don't worry about, I'm sure you will keep in touch with everyone." Peyton said
"Yeah but, I like my life here, I like being head cheerleader. What if the school I go to doesn't have a cheer squad." Brooke said in a worried tone.
"I'm sure they will, it's only a half a year then after that it isn't like we would see each other that much anyways with college." Peyton said
"I guess you're right." Brooke said going back to paying attention to the teacher. The rest of the day went by fast. Brooke decided to skip cheer practice with the fear of tearing up at practice. Now all she had to do was say goodbye to everyone.
