Chapter 7

Just Breath

A/N: Okay I officially love you guys!! The reviews were A W S O M E llf tis true!! I got 8 I was like yayness and I wasn't even sure about that chapter because it was very rushed and didn't seem like it came natural which brings me up to the next point. I don't know what the next few chapters will be like because I have loads will a bit planned for the sisters but I don't want it to be one after another or it might seem like natural so anyways if any one has any like mini plots for space fillers please message me or write them I will defiantly consider them and probably write them. Also one other thing I was wondering who you people feel about Peyton because she is one of my favourite characters but most Brucas fans (and I know a lot of you readers are Brucas fans as well as Naley fans because I looked up all your reviews and checked what type of stories you read by your favourites and stuff) don't like Peyton and I want to do some things with her but I don't want to lose readers or reviews so get back with me on that note please!! Any ways here is your next chapter with hints of Brucas

Brooke eyes widened with excitement as she opened the door to a messy hair cutie. She pressed her lips together soon biting on them seductively. "Lucas you are so not the pizza delivery guy. Wait are you? Because I think I would start buying more pizza if that's the case." She added a devilishly grin to show of her million dollar smile and the dimples that boys went crazy for.

Lucas chuckled for a second as he shoved his hand in sheepishly looking away at the half dressed Brooke Davis. All she had on was a revealing yellow top as pyjamas with matching yellow shorts showing of her long tanned legs. He felt almost guilty just being in her presence. "Actually I was looking for Haley."

Her smile flattened as he heard the name Haley. Brooke was the popular one. The one that was use to having boys knock constantly at her door and know Haley was all every one could talk about. Her new hottie status after Nathan Scott 'nailed' her every one had noticed her more and know she was the new 'cheerleader.' It's not like Brooke didn't know being jealous of her sister was lame but her status was in jeopardy by her own sister. How could she go from Cocky beautiful popular Brooke Davis to insecure bitchy jealous so last month Brooke Davis? Hence why she was annoyed. "Actually no. She went out some where but I was too offended as she insulted my taste in music to ask where"

"Oh" Lucas simply said. Nathan was the first name came to his mind it was actually why he came over here. To warn her not to go and see Nathan it would just end in heartbreak sooner or later and he knew Haley had been through enough.

"Any ways non- pizza delivery boy do you want to stay? I am all alone and did I mention I hate being on my own." She pouted as she gave him 'the puppy dog' look that was irresistible to any guy.

Lucas looked at his watch it was nearly time for him to meet up with Rachel. He couldn't help but laugh it was evident that they both were after him possibly for some bet he wasn't blind nor stupid and defiantly not as naïve as people seem to think he was. "So you can piss off Rachel, right?"

Brooke arched an eyebrow almost taken back by that statement sure it was half true but it still hurt to know that was all people seen her as a scheming slutty boyfriend stealer. She shrugged it off it wasn't there fault they only believed what they were told. Some of the rumours were true and other nasty ones were not so true but it still made her feared in school and that was all you needed to get by in high school. "I was actually surprised to see the skank wasn't with you since she seems to be attached to your hip half the time." She bitched back lightly. "Look I am not asking you to have sex with me I am just asking you to keep me company. I never really had a friend that was a boy. Unless you count friend with benefits then I have had loads." She giggled before widening the door hinting for him to come in.

Lucas looked at his watch if he walked in he would end up ditching Rachel, his girlfriend. His girlfriend that was always 'studying' He nearly chocked as he suppressed the laughter. Like he mentioned before he wasn't naïve she was a cheerleader who was naturally smart she didn't study … so why he stayed with Rachel. He wasn't sure. Even though she knew what she was like a slut and a bitch he still didn't have the heart to say no when she asked him out and never mention the courage nor the heart to break up with her but he was sure she wouldn't cry over the fact if he did. But the point was he couldn't never potentially hurt someone. It just wasn't him and he never would be able to do that. He hesitantly walked into the hall and gave Brooke a soft smile. He dug deeper into his pockets as he fiddled with his phone finally turning it off.

"I knew you couldn't resist 'The Brooke Davis' charm." She smiled laughing slightly to prove she was only joking and not chatting him up. "Boys are so easy. A flash of your skin and cute puppy dog eye mixed with a seductive look and you got the boy running with a click of a finger."

"Brooke not all guys are like that. If they don't respect you enough to come running with out you making an effort then they don't deserve your body or your mind." Lucas said as he was about to continue till he got a giggle from Brooke.

"Sorry it is just. It has only been a few minutes and already I am getting an inspiring sweet 'Lucas Scott' speech." she smiled sweetly. "I could get use to it." She grinned for a few second as she felt a warm sensation rush through her body. "Just out of curiosity have you ever actually got drunk and just forgot about all the real problems and everything serious and just have fun and maybe sleep with some stranger? You know just live in the moment."

He shook his head almost ashamed. Most people have at least done one out of the two things but he never really found the point of either of the options expect for regret and a sore head plus a hazy memory the next day.

"Don't worry your not missing out on much." She admitted truthfully. "Okay why don't we have fun minus the drink and the sex well if we have to exclude the sex part?" She looked over only to be meet with a serious gaze. "It was a joke…" she added.

He shushed her as his body lingered closer to her his hand softly stroking her face as he looked straight into her beautiful brown eyes. "What are you doing." She finally mustered up to say with her voice so shaky for once she was actually nervous in a guy's presence.

"Living in the moment." He said as he watched her smile grow bigger.

"I like the sound of that." She whispered as she leaned her face closer there lips lightly grazing each other she was about to press harder when the phone rang. She groaned frustrated. "What a mood setter." She said sarcastically. Sadly knowing she had to get in case it was Haley. She finally moved her body from off the couch and answered the phone glancing at Lucas as she gave him the sweetest smile. The smile soon faded as the person on the other phone explained the situation. She felt tears quickly building up threatening to fall. She hung up the phone quickly leaning against the wall as she felt as if she was about to collapse. Her body felt numb. Everything that seemed important seemed like nothing. It was funny how one minute you felt like everything was perfect and finally coming together and the next thing her whole word and everything that mattered was falling apart.

"I gotta go!" she quickly said as she frantically looked for her jacket finally grabbing it.

"Brooke what is going on?"

"It's." She paused she couldn't even face saying it. If she says it then she will know that it is actually true. She wasn't ready to grow up in the matter of this very moment. She was never the serious mature out of all the sisters and now she would have to be strong for both Haley and herself. "It's Haley." She finally admitted as she felt her heart shatter closing her eyes as a lone tear trembled down her cheek.

Lucas expression turned sour. "What the hell did that ass Nathan do to her?" he asked quickly assuming it was Nathan. That was who she was going to see after all, right? If so then it had something to do with him some way or another.

"Wait what?" Brooke said as she lifted her body that was leaning on the wall finally standing up on her own two feet. Did he say Nathan? What the hell could he have done now expect for possibly push her in front of the car. She mentally slapped herself even the thought about joking made her physically sick but she was still curious to how Lucas could jump to the conclusion of Nathan had something to do with this.

"I mean that is who she went to see right?" Still getting a confused expression Lucas went on to elaborate. "He came up to Haley and said he wanted to talk to her and to meet her at the river court around 8. She didn't seem to know what she was going to do but I am guessing she picked to go see him."

"Why would she do such a thing?" She bit her lip before remembering that she was still in the house while Haley was in hospital. "Just will you drive me I don't know if I am in any state to drive and I don't want another Davis in the hospital."

He just nodded he would ask questions later either in the car or while they were at the hospital but right now getting there was there main priority was getting there for Haley's sake. Both bodies rushed towards the car before driving towards the hospital.

Nathan leaned in kissing her forehead ever so gentle. He knew he hadn't the right. He lost that right when he said he 'didn't love her.' Those could have been the most stupid words that have ever left his mouth and he had said a lot of stupid things. What was the point? He started to question. He used the 'trying to protect her' excuse far too many times and her lying in a hospital bed was hardly a job well done. He knew why he said those words why he lied and it wasn't just a case of momentarily insanity. It was fear. It is a strong emotion that usually controls our bodies and put ourselves selfishly before other because we are unwilling to make that sacrifice for those we love. You often see film stars in the movies being selfless and fighting for the ones they love but that is just fiction and although people wish they could do such a thing they never usually do because fear over wells them. Nathan he was afraid of becoming that guy who was romantically attached and losing his status as most popular and womanisers but now all of that seemed nothing compared to this. It was a pity that something like this had to happen before he realised were his priorities were and now he could feel it was to late. His handle cradled hers gently as if it was a fragile expensive ordainment.

"I'm sorry." He mustered the courage to say those two simple words that use to so easily bruise his ego but not any more. "I swear I was just trying to do what was best for you and maybe I was a bit selfish letting you go but know I realise what I want and that is you. It's too little too late. I realise that and I understand I just can't straying you along but I just want you to know I mean this. I do love you. I think it is love any ways it's not something some one experiences so many times in there life. Maybe I am confused with lust but it doesn't feel like that I want your heart and your mind not just your body. So just wake up so I can tell you all that again or just wake up. You deserve to live. So just wake up." He begged desperation evident in his voice.

"Hey this is Peyton Sawyer you must have just missed me but leave me a message and I'll try and get back to you." The beep tone once again came on after the voice of the other sister that had disappeared to New York either temporary or permantly? No one knew yet the truth was Haley and Brooke decided to give her space to live and hopefully she would find her way home but Brooke knew Peyton would want to know this to be here for both of them. "Peyton it is me again. I tried you before but I really need to talk to you on the phone but I guess I just will have to tell you this on your voicemail in case you are purposely missing my call. Haley is in hospital Peyton. She needs you I need you." Another beeping tone and the message was ended without even a mutter of goodbye. A frustrated groan and Brooke snapped the phone close.

"I can't do this Lucas. I am not ready to be the mature responsible one. I don't know how and the thought of some one depending on me is scary." She sadly mustered up. "I want to help Haley so much but I don't think I can."

"Brooke you are more responsible and caring then you give yourself credit before. Stop selling yourself short! Remember?" Lucas comfortingly replied as the car pulled up into to one of the closest free parking space there was in the hospital car lot. Brooke rushed out quickly slamming the door soon following Lucas as the both frantically rushed into the hospital. Before a nurse they had questioned about Haley pointed them to her room warning that visiting was on limitation since she was still very weak from the accident.

The walked through the long hall that seem to last forever. Each step she took she felt her heart bang viciously against her chest. She stops mid way as gave a sad look as if she was a lost little girl just trying to find her way back home. Lucas nodded before holding her hand reassuring her she can do this. She smiled thanking him for being her. Okay Haley was his best friend and he would have been her no matter what but him just being there with her meant more to her then probably would ever know.

If only. She wished.

Okay totally space filler eugh yesh I totally hate them as well but it was necessary for the story we can't have just drama it would be badly written and unrealistic and all that crap but soon there will hopefully be more drama defiantly and Peyton should be coming back soon. I know the ending wasn't great but I didn't want to keep writing and then the chapter would suffer as it would just drag on. It felt as if it was on of those never ending chapters to me lol. I also have to ask another question I was reconsidering the BLP triangle I know not many like it but I need to do something so it won't just be boring and plus I love Leyton but it is still going to be Brucas. If not there is defiantly going to be Leyton friendship and / or Pathan friendship I haven't really planned that much. Any ways don't forget to review. It might take me longer to update as exams yes GCSE's suck like hell… Laters x x x P.S R E V I E W !
