Who To Choose
Chapter 9:
Look we gotta talk
Dang I know
I know it's just
It's just...
Some things
I gotta get of my chest alright...
Brooke was walking over to Lucas's locker after school, she arrived right when he did.
"Hey, I didn't see you in History, where were you?" Lucas asked Brooke noticing her red rimmed eyes, "Have you been crying?"
"I was at the nurse's office, and yeah I was crying." Brooke said wiping her eyes and pulling Lucas into a hug.
"What's wrong?" Lucas said into Brooke's ear and rubbing her back in a circular motion.
"I have to talk to you." Brooke said pulling away from her hug with Lucas, "Let's go to the library there isn't so many people there."
"Okay," Lucas said leading her to the library then stopping when they were in the stacks, "What do want to tell me."
"Okay, so Saturday I'm going to California and I'm not coming back." Brooke said in one breath as she started to cry.
"You've got to be kidding me." Lucas said as he pulled Brooke into another hug and he let her cry into his shoulder.
"Thanks Lucas for being such a good friend this year, I'm really going to miss you." Brooke said finally calming down.
"Brooke you were probably one of my best friend this year, I'm going to miss you so much. I suppose I should probably tell you something." Lucas said looking very nervous.
"What is it Luke?" Brooke asked
"I have feelings for you; I think I'm in love with you." Lucas said
"Really, I sometimes wonder that too. As much as I do like you I can't have a long distance relationship with you I'm so sorry." Brooke said
"I wasn't expecting you to. Would you please go on a date with me on Friday, I know you're leaving on Saturday but will you?" Lucas asked Brooke hoping for the best.
"Of course I will." Brooke said, "So, have you been writing me letters?"
"Umm, no, what letters?" Lucas asked sounding very clueless.
"Um, nothing, never mind." Brooke said wondering who was writing those, she really thought it was all Lucas, "Well, I have to go break the news to the squad see you in the gym." Brooke said walking away from Luke and into the locker room to change into her cheer clothes. She arrived a little late into the gym and found the girls stretching on the sidelines while the basketball team was listening to the coach give instructions.
"Where were you Brooke?" Bevin asked their captain.
"I have something to tell you guys." Brooke said winking at Peyton, "After tomorrow I'm not going to be your captain anymore, Peyton is."
"WHAT!" Bevin and another girl Theresa yelled.
"There is no need to make a scene Bev, just let's go over our routine." Brooke said not wanting Nathan to find out from someone else.
"I wonder what is going on over there." Tim said to Nathan after they heard Bevin and Theresa yell at Brooke who was talking to the girls. Every single one of the cheerleaders had a look of surprise on their faces.
"I don't know, I want to know though, I'm guessing that Brooke made them mad." Nathan said to Tim
"Brooke, you love cheering, and you are the best captain out there, why would you give it to Peyton?" Candace, a girl from the squad, asked Brooke
"I'm really not ready to tell you guys yet, so let's drop it and get back to our routine okay." Brooke said getting a drink of water. The rest of practice was pretty good no one brought up Brooke not being captain anymore and Brooke left practice and waited outside the boy's locker room. Tim and Nathan walked out of the locker room to see Brooke waiting there.
Baby come here and
sit down, let's talk
I got a lot to say so I guess I'll start by
Saying that I love you,
But you know, this thing ain't been
No walk in the park for us
I swear it'll only take a minute
You'll understand when I finish, yeah
"Miss Brooke Davis, how are you?" Tim asked Brooke while checking her out.
"I am actually feeling pretty sucky and I really, really need to talk to Nathan." Brooke said while Tim still stood there, "Privately Tim, I want to talk to Nate privately."
"Oh okay I'll leave now." Tim said as he walked away
"So, what do you want?" Nathan asked leaning against the wall.
"I want to talk to you." Brooke said wiping her eyes that had tears coming out of them.
"Brooke, are you okay?" Nathan asked Brooke sounding very sincere.
"No, I'm not. Nathan I'm moving in two days." Brooke said starting to cry harder.
"What, where are you moving to?" Nathan said sounding angry
"I'm moving to Malibu, California, Nate." Brooke said
"Is this some sort of joke or something cause it isn't funny." Nathan said
"No, it isn't a joke my parents called me a couple days ago and they are moving me." Brooke said pulling Nathan into a hug that she clearly needed.
"This sucks." Nathan said trying to figure out a plan to keep Brooke here, "Maybe you could move in with me."
"No, I already asked if I could move in with Peyton and my parents said no, there isn't anything we could do." Brooke said
"I'm glad you and Peyton are friends, you and her are good together." Nathan said
"Yeah, me too. Look, I have to go, I'll see you later." Brooke said walking away to her red VW bug. Brooke sat in her car crying, she then drove to Peyton's house to get her so she could help Brooke pack. They arrived at Brooke's house and went upstairs.
"So, did you tell Lucas and Nathan?" Peyton asked folding three differently colored expensive cashmere sweaters into one of the Louis Vuitton suitcases, "Are these new?"
"Yes I did tell them and no those aren't new I just don't really like them." Brooke said throwing all of her swimsuits into another bag.
"What did they say and when did you get them cuz I've never seen you wear them?" Peyton asked putting some skirts into a different bag.
"Lucas invited me to go on a date with him because he apparently has feelings for me and Nathan offered for me to come and live with him, and I only wear them to go out to dinner with parents whenever they are home."
"Really, are you excited?" Peyton asked looking at her best friend.
"Yeah, I am. Even though I'm not sure if I love him but I still really like him." Brooke said zipping one bag closed.
"Well, I'm happy for you." Peyton said looking at all the bags they have packed, they packed all of Brooke's clothes except for three outfits one for school, one for her date, and one for Saturday when she leaves.
"Thanks Peyton, you know I'm really going to miss you." Brooke said
"Yeah I know, I will miss you too." Peyton said relaxing after finishing, "So what about all of your furniture and stuff."
"Movers will come and move it into a truck and bring it to Cali, my parents called me again today and apparently they found a house in Malibu on the ocean where I will have a whole floor to myself, lucky me." Brooke said sarcastically, "I really don't want to go."
"I know you don't but we can call each other and it will be like you never moved." Peyton said
"Yeah except I won't see you like ever again." Brooke said, "You know what, I'm going to go to college somewhere in North Carolina, and then I will see you all the time."
"That would be great!" Peyton said, "I have to go I'm sorry, I love you B.Davis, I'll see you on Saturday."
"Wait, where will you be tomorrow?" Brooke asked
"I have a meeting with a THUD magazine to become their comic strip artist." Peyton said
"Really, that is awesome! I love you, and I'll miss you tomorrow! I have to go through my last day of school here without you it is so going to suck." Brooke said waving good bye to Peyton. Brooke went to bed and the next morning put on her favorite outfit, a sparkly red tank top, a white blazer, a jean skirt and white leggings. She straightened her hair and got in her car and drove to school, right away she found her locker and put her bag away, a letter fell out.
Dear Brooke,
I could love you forever.
P.S. I'll miss you!
Who is this, she thought, could it be Nathan or someone else. Brooke was contemplating this letter when Lucas walked over to her.
"How are you pretty girl?" Lucas said
"I'm doing better I guess, it sucks though Peyton isn't here today. So I guess it's just me and you." Brooke said linking arms with Lucas and walking towards Brooke's first class, "I'll see you later."
"Yeah, bye." Lucas said as he dropped Brooke off at her class and he went to his own. Brooke walked over to Bevin and some other girls from the squad.
"Hey girls, I have to talk to you." Brooke said to the girls
"What is it Brooke?" Bevin asked
"I'm moving to Malibu on Saturday and that is why Peyton is going to be your new captain." Brooke said without crying.
"That sucks! We are going to throw you a party tonight at the beach, it will be perfect!" Bevin said to Brooke
"Actually tonight I'm busy." Brooke said to the girls
"Brooke come on you're leaving we need to spend time with you." Bevin said begging Brooke
"Fine, I'll be there at 10 no earlier." Brooke said, "Oh and don't invite any freshmen or sophomores." Brooke walked back to her seat when the teacher walked in. Brooke just happened to sit next to Nathan so she decided to invite him. "Hey there's a going away party for me tonight on the beach tonight you should go."
"Sounds good, I'll be there." Nathan said, "Hey Brooke, I have to tell you something" Nathan got cut off from the teacher.
"Mr. Scott is there something you want to share with the class." The teacher asked him.
"Actually I was just saying to Brooke here, how much I don't learn in this class, I think it's the teaching or something." Nathan said to the teacher letting his cocky side show, his infamous smirk was showing now more than ever.
"Nathan an hour of detention here after school."
"Sorry, I have practice; Coach says I can't miss it you know since I'm the star and everything." Nathan said as the whole class laughed.
"Well, you tell your Coach that since that little comment there you are now going to be two hours late." The teacher said as he went back to teaching the class. The class was done shortly there after and pretty soon the whole day was done. Cheer practice was cancelled today so Brooke went home and got ready for her date with Lucas. She wore a green halter dress that made her hazel eyes pop out and pretty soon Lucas was at her door picking her up.
Girl I know your
heart is breaking
and a thousand times I
Found myself asking,
"Why? Why?"
Why am I taking so long to say this?
But
trust me, girl I never
Meant to crush your world
And I never
Thought I would see the day we grew apart
And I wanna know
"Wow, you look great," Lucas said, he was wearing a blue button down shirt and khaki pants.
"Thank you, you don't look too bad yourself." Brooke said locking the door, "So, where are we going?"
"It's a surprise." Lucas said as he opened the passenger side door for Brooke and then he got in and drove them to the Rivercourt.
"Oh my it is so beautiful." Brooke said as she was red, white, and pink rose petals spread out all over the basketball court, and a picnic basket with fresh food in it.
"Thanks, you deserve it." Lucas said they got out of the car and ate their food; he made grilled chicken, salad, and red wine for them. They ate and talked about the future. They decided to keep in touch by phone and pretty soon the date was over and Brooke was at her house saying good night.
"It was an amazing night Luke, thank you so much." Brooke said as she kissed him sweetly on the lips.
"I am going to miss you so much Pretty Girl." Lucas said
"I'll miss you too Broody." Brooke said as she gave him a big hug.
"I'll probably come by tomorrow to say goodbye again, when do you leave?" Lucas asked
"My cab is supposed to come at 11 in the morning." Brooke said
"I'll be there around then." Lucas said, "Goodnight Brooke." Brooke waved goodbye and said thanks again and she went inside. She changed into a short white skirt and a black halter top, pretty soon it was 9:45 so she left for the beach. When Brooke arrived the party was in full swing, there was a bonfire with people sitting around it talking, a DJ with a group of kind grinding, their was a couple of kegs and a few people were even swimming. Bevin and the girls from the squad noticed Brooke was there right away and walked up to her.
"Hey Brooke, isn't this great! We are all going to miss you so much." Bevin said and the others agreed, "So to show our love to our old captain we got you a gift." Bevin handed Brooke a nicely wrapped gift.
"Thanks you guys you didn't have to." Brooke said as she tore open the present, inside was a photo album of pictures of Brooke and the girls and Nathan from all four years at the high school, "You guys this is so cool, thank you all so much." Brooke said as she gave each one of them a hug. Brooke broke away from the girls and walked towards the bonfire. She found Nathan leaning against the lifeguard stand watching her. She walked towards him.
Listen to your heart
Girl you know
"Hey there Hot Shot how was detention?" Brooke asked as she stood across from Nathan who was holding a plastic cup probably full of beer.
"Haha very funny, it was boring, and Coach flipped on me." Nathan said, "So how do you like your party?"
"It's pretty good; no one knows how to throw a party like Bevin that's for sure." Brooke said smiling up at Nathan, "So want to dance that is if you aren't too much of a star to be seen with me."
"Ugh, am I gonna get crap for that forever?" Nathan asked
"Possibly, but not from me." Brooke said
"And yeah I guess I could dance with you." Nathan said leading Brooke to the dance floor. They were grinding when a slow song came on, Brooke put her hands around Nathan's neck and he put his around her waist and they danced very slowly, "I'm going to miss you Brooke."
"I'll miss you too Nathan." Brooke said resting her head on Nathan's chest. The rest of the night went by fast and Brooke said goodbye to everyone for good. She saw Nathan who was still there.
"Shouldn't you be at home by now?" Brooke said walking over to Nathan
"I wanted to say goodbye to you again." Nathan said, "I am going to miss you so much."
"I'll miss you too." Brooke said pulling Nathan into a long hug.
"When do you leave?" Nathan asked
"At 11 AM." Brooke said finally pulling away from their long hug.
"Remember when we lost our virginity together at the end of 8th grade?" Nathan asked smiling at the memory.
"How could I forget? That hurt, badly." Brooke said laughing.
Flashback
There was a small get together at Nathan's house on the last day of school in 8th grade. Brooke, Peyton, Tim, Jake, Bevin and Vegas were there and they were just hanging out. Everyone was leaving at midnight except for Brooke who was staying a little longer since both hers and Nathan's parents were gone so they decided to hang out together longer than everyone else. They were in Nathan's room listening to music.
"Have you ever had sex?" Nathan asked Brooke, they had been good friends since they were little so they felt comfortable telling each other stuff.
"No, have you?" Brooke asked Nathan while going through his CD's she picked out a 50 Cent CD and put it in and took out the D12 CD.
"Nope, but I want to." Nathan said
"Really, with who?" Brooke asked Nathan.
"Are you going to tell anyone?" Nathan asked walking over and sitting next to Brooke on the bed.
"Nope, I swear." Brooke said playing with them hem of her green halter top.
"Ok, I want to have sex with you." Nathan said fastly then looking over at Brooke.
"Really," Brooke said smoothing out her white skirt, "Do you want to try it?"
"Yeah, I do." Nathan said he leaned over and kissed Brooke she kissed him back and pretty soon they lost their virginity together. After that they hooked up randomly together all the time.
Flashback Ends
"Believe me you are better in bed now than you were then." Brooke said laughing
"Yeah right, I've always been good." Nathan said
"No you weren't, you more like hurt me, I remember I had tears streaming down my face it hurt that bad." Brooke said, "Then I went over to Peyton's the next day and told her, she told me she wasn't surprised and she thought we were perfect together."
"We were pretty good together." Nathan said smiling.
"Look, I have to go I'm sorry," Brooke said hugging Nathan again. "I'm going to miss you."
"Me too." Nathan said Brooke then left and went to her house. When she walked in she found Peyton sitting on her couch.
"How did you get in here?" Brooke asked joining Peyton on the couch.
"I used the hidden key." Peyton said, "How was the party?"
"It was good. How was your interview?" Brooke asked
"It was great, I got the job!" Peyton said excitedly
"Peyton that is great." Brooke said giving her friend of 10 years a hug.
"Thank you." Peyton said wiping tears away from her eyes.
"Don't you start crying pretty soon I will too." Brooke said, "Let's go to bed."
"Sounds good." Peyton said following Brooke up to her room. They slept and woke up at 10:30. They hugged each other for what seemed like eternity and said their goodbyes, "I'm really sorry but I have to go. I'm going to miss you B.Davis."
"I'll miss you too P.Sawyer. Hoes over Bros." Brooke said to her best friend.
"Buds over Studs." Peyton said hugging Brooke once more then leaving. Brooke was crying when Lucas showed up.
I kinda gotta figure
out what I need (oh)
There's never a right time to say goodbye
But we know that we gotta go
Our separate ways
And I know
it's hard but I gotta do it,
And it's killing me
Cause
there's never a right time
Right time to say goodbye
"Hey Brooke." Lucas said giving Brooke a hug.
"Hey Lucas," Brooke said
"I'll miss you." Lucas said
"I'm missing you already." Brooke said pulling away from the hug.
"I know I just got here but we have practice this morning and Coach said we have to be there." Lucas said
"Okay, bye Broody." Brooke said smiling
"Bye Pretty Girl." Lucas said as he waved goodbye and walked away. Brooke was waiting in her kitchen waiting for the cab, when Nathan walked in.
"What are you doing here?" Brooke said jumping up and running over to him.
"I had to see you one more time." Nathan said
"I thought you had practice." Brooke mumbled into his chest
"I do, I told Coach that I had to come see you, and he let me." Nathan said rubbing circles on her back, "Brooke it's me."
"What do you mean?" Brooke asked
"I'm the one who has been writing you those letters." Nathan said
"What." Brooke said
"I love you." Nathan said as he kissed Brooke passionately on the lips.
"Nathan, I'm leaving any minute and you decide to tell me that now." Brooke said
"I just had to let you know before you left." Nathan said as the cab pulled up and honked the horn.
"I have to go Nate. I'll miss you." Brooke said as Nathan and the cab driver loaded her bags into the trunk.
"I'll miss you too." Nathan said as Brooke got in the cab and it drove away. Brooke was gone forever.
