Chapter 2- Suddenly Not So Perfect Anymore
1 week later
The bell rang, so everybody was rushing to get to their lockers, it was like that every Friday afternoon. All the kids had big plans for the weekend, like parties, going to the beach, and all that fun stuff, but Brooke had other plans that Friday afternoon...
"So, I'll call you before I come to get you for the movie, Brooke." Peyton said, slamming her locker shut.
"Ok, I just have to go and do something first." Brooke said, walking with Peyton down the hallway. "So, you can actually get Haley first."
"Alright, talk to you later." Peyton said, walking to her car and Brooke walking to her's.
Brooke was driving through Tree Hill, thinking about the last few months, how could this have happened? We always used protection, there was a couple times I missed the pill, but still, we were protected, she thought, pulling up to Tree Hill's drug store. At least nobody she knew worked there. That could be embarrassing and very bad if the word got out that she might be pregnant.
She walked in nervously, there wasn't that many people in the store, thank god, she thought, walking towards the health and mediction aisle. She was going through this alone, Lucas wasn't even at school today, but she thought it might be better because she didn't want to upset him, besides, it would be more nerve-racking trying to tell him, and if she wasn't pregnant then there would be no point it telling him. Anyways, she was only a week late, it's happened before.
Brooke grabbed a pregnancy test, quickly, off the shelf and started walking away. No I should definitly take 2. She thought, going back and taking another one. Her hands were shaking by this time, she really didn't want to run into anybody she knew. When she got to the front she paid for the tests and jolted out of there. She finally got to her car and took a deep breath. Ok, that wasn't that hard, now I just have to go home and take these. She swallowed hard, and exhaled, then started up her car and headed towards her house.

When Brooke got home, nobody was there. That wasn't anything new to her though, her dad was always working and her mom was just always...out. Brooke never knew where her mother was. On this particular day, though, it was a good thing. She didn't want anybody there when she took the tests, her parents would freak out.
She went upstairs to her room and put her bookbag and binder on her bed, then went into her bathroom. After she took the tests she went and laid on her bed, starring at the ceiling, just waiting for the timer to go off.
Just when she was thinking about how a baby would affect her life, her cell phone rang. It was Peyton.
"Hey, P. Sawyer." she said, putting on her cheery attitude.
"Hey, B. Davis, are you almost ready to go?" Peyton asked. "Haley's over here with me, we just have to come get you, then we can have our girls night."
"Uh...yea." Brooke looked over at her bathroom where the tests were, just getting ready to tell her if she was going to have fun tonight. "You can come get me in about 15 minutes."
"Ok, we'll-" Peyton tried to say something but the timer went off. "What was that, Brooke?"
"Nothing." She said, quickly, jumping off of her bed. "You just come and get me soon, I'm soo excited."
"Ok, bye." Peyton said, confused. Brooke was acting a little weird, but she was seeing her soon so she could ask her what was up.
"See you soon." Brooke said, hanging up.
Ok, this is it. She said, closing her eyes and taking a deep breath.
She threw her cell on her bed and walked into the bathroom. She picked up one of the tests and took a deep breath, then flipped it over. "It's positive." she said, quietly. Her eyes started swelling up with tears. She thought she better check the other one, too. "Oh my god." she said, as she looked at the other one, "They're both positive." She put her hand over her mouth and tried to hold back the tears, but they fell anyways.
Brooke fell to the floor because her legs were weak. She starred at the wall in front of her for what seemed like forever until she heard Peyton's voice. She quickly got up and stashed the tests in a drawer and made sure she looked like she hadn't been crying for the last ten minutes.
"Brooke, are you up here?" Peyton asked, as her and Haley walked into Brooke's room.
"Yea...in here." She hoped she didn't sound like she had been crying.
"What are you doing?" Peyton asked, curiously. "You never answered your door."
"Oh, Peyton, you know how long it takes for me to get ready." Brooke lied.
"Are you ok, Brooke?" Haley asked, concerned. "You seem, well, not-so-cheery."
"Yea, I'm fine." Brooke put on a fake smile.
"Are you sure?" Peyton asked, worriedly.
"Yes, I'm fine, let's just go see this movie." Brooke said, trying to act happy. "It's girls night out, it's going to be fun!"
Peyton and Haley agreed with her and they went.

Lucas was laying in bed, sick, thinking about Brooke, wondering if she was thinking about him. Maybe I should call her, she doesn't even know I'm sick. He thought. Then got up and found his cell phone.
It rang a couple times, then Brooke picked up. "Hey, Lucas." She said, loudly.
"Why are you talking so loud?" Lucas asked, laughing.
"What?" she asked, louder. "Wait, let me go some place quieter."
"Ok." Lucas said, confused. "Where are you?"
Brooke stepped outside the theatre. "At the movies with Peyton and Haley, there is a lot of people I had to go outside to talk to you."
"Oh, I see, I just wanted to call and see what you were doing." he said, happy she wasn't sitting at home on a Friday night, wasting it by thinking about him.
"Where were you today, Broody?" Brooke asked, concerned.
"I'm in my bed sick with the flu, I'll be back to school by Monday probably." he explained.
"Oh, I'm sorry, babe." she said, kindly. "I hope you get better, maybe I'll come see you tomorrow."
"Ok, you have fun tonight." Lucas said, smiling.
"I will, bye..." she paused, thinking about the life changing events of the day. "I love you."
"Is everything ok?" Lucas asked, concerned.
"Yea, everything is fine...I'll see you tomorrow." she said, about to hang up. She couldn't take it anymore, Lucas was so innocent, he had no idea what was actually going on with them.
"I love you, too." he said. "Bye."
"Bye." Brooke hung up and went back inside, where she found Peyton and Haley waiting for her.
"Was that Lucas?" Haley asked, curiously.
"Yea, he has the flu, that's why he wasn't at school today." Brook explained to them.
"Oh, that sucks." Peyton said.
"Yea, he'll be ok, I'm going to see him tomorrow." she said, as Peyton gave her her ticket.
"Ok, enough about Lucas, this is girl's night!" Haley said, excitedly.
They went into the room where their movie was playing and found seats. The whole time Haley and Peyton watched, Brooke was in a totally different place, thinking about everything that was going on in her life right now. Everybody thought she was this perfect, beautiful, lucky person who's got everything going for her, but instead she was now a lonely, pregnant, 17-year-old that was freaking out inside because she didn't know what to do.
She was having bad thoughts like, what if she told Lucas and he didn't want to be a father? That could always happen because after high school, Lucas will be going to some college to play basketball, she was sure, and he couldn't do that if he had a kid to look after. What if she told Lucas and it just messed everything up for them? Brooke couldn't have that, she was nothing without Lucas, she wasn't whole without him. She could get an abortion, but that wasn't something she was about to do. Getting an abortion would mean ending the life of something so innocent that didn't do anything wrong. It was her responsibility now, and she would never do that. Lastly, there was putting her baby up for adoption, that sounded the best to her so far, it's not fair to keep a child if you can't support it or look after it 24/7, it deserves a loving family that would be devoted to it. She still had college and everything else that goes with it, so she couldn't keep a baby.
As Brooke thought about her options, not even paying any attention to the movie that Haley and Peyton seemed to be enjoying, she finally figured out that since it was May the baby would be due around February sometime, so she just had to go these last 2 months of school hiding morning sickness and the rest that happens during the first 2 months, the summer wouldn't be to hard, but then September to February would be the hardest because she would be getting bigger, but it was something she was going to have to do, when she had a plan or idea, she stuck with it. I can go the rest of this year and then my senior year without anybody even finding out that I'm pregnant. It will work, I have to make it work. If I tell anybody it will only lead to fights and then heartbreak, and my heart can't take much more. she thought, determined to make her plan work.
The only things she didn't like were: 1) lying to Lucas about something this big, and 2) missing out on wearing a bikini in the summer...How typical, leave it to Brooke to makie jokes at a time like this.

The next day, Brooke woke up miserable, she had a stomach ache, probably from so much stress, plus she had to go over to Lucas' because she said she would. It's not that she didn't like seeing him, she loved every minute of it, but now there was a reason to feel scared and guilty around him. She showered, put on a pair of light pink sweat pants, a black tank top, and Lucas' grey hoody. She really wasn't in the mood to dress nice today.
It was shortly after 1 when Brooke got to Luke's house. She knocked on the side door that led to Lucas' bedroom, she would have used the front door but she didn't feel like running into Karen. Karen would definitly figure out that something was wrong.
Lucas heard the knock on the door. "Come in." His voice was just above a whipser. It sounded like he must have had a cold, too.
Before Brooke opened the door she put on a big, cheery smile, the one that everyone expects to see when Brooke enters a room. "Hey, Broody, how are you feeling?" she asked, curiously, laying down on the bed next to him and kissing his cheek.
"I'm the same as yesterday, but I'll be ok." he said, putting his arm around her.
"That's good then." Brooke said, resting her head on his shoulder.
"What did I miss at school yesterday?" Lucas asked, curiously.
"Nothing really, we had a sub in math so we didn't get anything done." Brooke laughed.
"Aw, great, the one time we get a sub and I'm not there." Lucas said, also laughing.
"Yea." Brooke said, playing with the strings on the grey hoody. She looked upset, Lucas just watched her, wondering why she was being like that, she was usually the one that couldn't stop talking when she hadn't seen Lucas in a whole day.
"Baby, what's wrong?" he asked, concerned, stroking his fingers threw her long, brown hair.
"Nothing." Brooke said, trying to sound as happy as she could.
"Brooke, your my baby girl, I know when somethings wrong with you, what is it?" he asked, sweetly, putting his forehead against hers.
She couldn't help but smile. "Um...it's...I" she tried thinking of a good excuse. "I'm just on my rag." she lied. Hey, if she wasn't pregnant she would be on her rag.
"Ooookaay, to much information." Lucas said, jokingly.
Brooke just laughed. "You asked, Broody."
Lucas laughed, too. Brooke laid back down on Lucas' chest, she loved that she could tell Lucas anything, well obviously not anything, she couldn't tell him she was pregnant, but that was so different. She loved that she could tell him almost everything. Everything in her life was starting to spiral down hill, so she was happy that her and Lucas were able to have moments like these. Where they just sat on Lucas' bed and enjoyed eachothers company, not even having to say one word. It was so peaceful, so great it just made Brooke start to cry, a single tear rolled down her cheek.
Just then, out of nowhere, Lucas spoke. "I love you so much, you know that, right?" he asked.
This was just confusing to Brooke, he always told her he loved her, why was he being so serious now? "Yea, I love you, too, Lucas. Why the seriousness?"
"No reason, I just love it when we have moments like this when we can just tell eachother how we feel and lay like this all day." he explained, playing with her fingers.
Oh, I see...well...Lucas Scott, I'm pregnant with your child. she thought, if only it were that easy. "Oh, I see...well...I love you very much, I know we say that all the time, but your right, when we are doing this, sitting here doing nothing, it just seems like it means more."
"Yea." he said, smiling at her, then kissing her. Brooke broke away and smiled at him then started kissing him again, then she thought, maybe this won't be as bad as I thought it would, me and Lucas will be able to start a family when we are older, but if I told him about this baby, that would ruin the order of things, it might even get us into a fight, and we wouldn't have the moments like this anymore.

There's chapter 2! Please Review! Some people might not like Brooke's decision, but hey, it's only the second chapter, there are a lot more things to come, anything can happen at this point. There will even be another character in this story that will be a very important one. You might not like this person on the show but this person will become important in this story because this person is someone Brooke will get to talk to about her whole pregnant, adoption thing. That just a hint though.:) I won't tell you where they talk because that would obviously give the gender away. Hehehe You can let me know who you think it is in a review! Yay! lol Thanx:)
