Chapter 3- Cheerleading Competition
The next couple weeks went by ok, but then there was a party at Nathan's beach house that she had to go to. All her friends were going and if she didn't go then everbody would suspect something, because Brooke Davis and parties were like peanut butter and jelly. Her and Lucas went together and met the rest of there friends there. Everything was going fine until Lucas brought her a drink and she had to pretend to drink it. That was hard considering when they left she wasn't a bit drunk, it was good everybody else had stuff to drink or they would be wondering why she wasn't drunk at all.
The next week at school Brooke started having morning sickness that wasn't exactly morning sickness. She would have to throw up at lunch at a time when nobody was in the bathroom then try and get through her classes without getting sick, but the smell of the girls perfume got to her. It was finally Friday and she was so sick of the running to the bathroom all the time and just so stressed out about everything that she decided to stay in the bathroom for the rest of the afternoon. With everybody in class she could be alone to think. She thought about telling Lucas again, but changed her mind when she thought about Dan and how he didn't stay with Karen. Isn't that saying true? Like father, like son. Yea, it's definitly better this way. she thought. I can't be alone, I'm not very good alone.

Completely forgetting about cheer practice, 10 minutes before school was over Brooke went home so she didn't have to run into anybody that would ask where she was all afternoon.
"Where the hell is Brooke?" a pissed off Rachel asked. "You 2 are her bitches, where is she?"
"I haven't seen her all afternoon." Peyton said, annoyed.
"Me either, I talked to her in english this morning and that's the last time I saw her." Haley put in. Rachel gave her a pissed off look. "Ok, hold on, I'll call her.
After a few rings Haley confirmed that there was no answer.
"Well, I don't care if she's not here, we have a competition to get ready for and I am not losing." Rachel said, being her usual snobby self.
"Ok then, I'm the captain when Brooke's not here, so lets start thinking of a routine girls." Peyton said, telling everybody to come over.

Later that evening Peyton went over to Brooke's house. She wanted to make she everything was alright, with her missing practise and all.
"Hey, Brooke, can I come in?" Peyton asked, knocking on her bedroom door.
Brooke quickly wiped tears off her face. "Yea."
"Hey, where were you today?" Peyton asked, sitting beside Brooke on the bed.
"Uh...I wasn't feeling good, so I left at lunch." she lied. "Sorry about practise."
"It's ok, I guess, it's just we need you, Brooke, Rachel was being a bitch, she says we have to win the competition." Peyton explained.
"I'll be there on Monday I promise, the competition is in a month so we have lots of time." Brooke said, turning her head so Peyton didn't see her try and hold back tears. She knew she wasn't going to be able to do much, but just as long as she didn't give herself any lifts she would be ok.
"It's not that much time, but anyways...I hope you get better, come here B. Davis." Peyton said, giving her a hug.
"Thanks, we are gunna win." Brooke said, making Peyton laugh.

"WELCOME TO THE 10TH ANNUAL SPARKLE CLASSIC COMPETITION!" the man in a black suit shouted into the microphone. "I am happy to see everybody here again, new people and old. I am also excited to see what all the cheerleading teams have come up with this year and to see which boys will win the tournament. And the last thing I would like to say is...have fun!" Everybody cheered and then exited the gym and went back to their rooms.
There were 2 people to a room. All the girls were going to meet in Peyton and Brooke's room to make sure they were all ready. Just like she thought she would, Brooke didn't give herself and lifts. She only gave herself stuff she would be able to do. And since their shirts went down to their skirts, Brooke's growing stomach wouldn't show. It was just starting to be noticable for her, nobody could tell, some people just thought she just put on a little weight, but nobody wanted to say anything because that would be rude.
"Ok, everybody better be ready, because if we don't win-"
"Rachel, this is my squad and I say just go out there and no matter if we win or lose just remember to have fun." Brooke said.
"Well, winning for once in our lives couldn't hurt." Rachel said, walking closer to Brooke.
"Ok, we don't need one of us with a black eye before we even do the routine." Peyton said, stepping in the middle of them.
Brooke and Rachel starred eachother down as they got pulled away from eachother. Just then the boys came into the room wearing swimming trunks.
"What are you guys doing?" Haley asked, confused.
"Come on girls, were going swimming!" Tim yelled, twirling his towel around his head.
Brooke just looked at him oddly then forgot about it. "Ok, whatever, but don't you guys remember last time?"
Lucas smiled, remembering 2 years ago when they got caught by Whitey in the pool after hours. "Whitey's sleeping, trust me, we made sure this time."
All the girls ran to get their bikini's on, Brooke wasn't that happy about it because she wanted her girls to get their rest for tomorrow, but she had to let them go for the sake of being better than Rachel.
Everybody was having a blast in the pool, yelling and splashing eachother. Brooke was sitting on a chair beside the pool watching. She had her bikini on, but she had a loose tank top over it because of her stomach she didn't want anybody to see. The last thing she needed was for one of the guys to call her fat. Lucas asked her a few times if she wanted to come in, but he decided to just let her be, if she wanted to come in she would.
An hour had past when Brooke was starting to think about everything she was going to miss out on, including the fun everybody was having in the pool. It upset her so much she couldn't hold back the tears anymore, she didn't want anybody to see her, so she ran to the closest bathroom. Brooke didn't know, but Rachel saw all of it and followed her into the bathroom.
She heard Brooke crying a little and walked in. Brooke quickly wiped her eyes and stood up. "Brooke, you don't have to stop crying because I came in here, I know what's going on." Rachel said, trying to fix her hair in the mirror. "So, when are you due?"
"What are you talking about?" Brooke asked, pretending not to know.
"Come on, Brooke, it doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out what's going on with you." she explained. "You always have to leave to the bathroom every morning in first period, you cut out early and come in late, you've been wearing awful clothes that are loose on you lately, Brooke, I know your pregnant."
Brooke just starred at rachel until her eyes filled with tears and she fell to the ground. "I don't know what I'm doing, Rachel." she said, quietly. "I know what you think, I'm a terrible person for doing this to Lucas, and so I guess your going to go tell him now aren't you."
"Brooke, I-"
"Fine, whatever, but I'll just deny it, who do you think he's going to believe anyways?" Brooke said, getting angry instead of upset.
"Brooke, that wasn't what I was going to say, I was going to tell you that I know how you feel." Rachel said.
"You know how I feel, how could you possibly know how I feel right now!" Brooke said, raising her voice now.
"Because I've been in your shoes, Brooke, but the only thing that was different was that your going to make it through this being brave."
"What are you talking about, Rachel?" Brooke asked, confused.
"Brooke, when I was 16 I got pregnant, but unlike you, I had an abortion and everyday I still wonder what my life would be like if I hadn't done it." she explained, starting to tear up with Brooke.
"Oh my god, Rachel, I had no idea." Brooke said, shocked. "Who was the guy?"
"It doesn't matter, the only thing that matters is that he was a jerk and I didn't want to have his baby." she said, wiping tears off her cheeks.
"Rachel, do you think I'm stupid for doing this?" Brooke asked, tearing up again.
"No, I think your brave, and I think in the end you will do the right thing." she explained.
"I'm scared if I tell Lucas he will just be like his dad and leave me, I can't be alone with a baby, Rachel."
"Brooke, I can't tell you what to do, but I can tell you this...if you had this baby and then gave it away, you would feel so much worse than if you would have told Lucas and then have him leave you with the baby."
"Thank you, Rachel. I guess your not that much of a bitch as I thought you were." Brooke said, smiling a little.
"Yea, you too." Rachel said. "So, how far along are you?"
"I'm about 3 months along."
"Wow, how do you plan on doing this anyways?" Rachel asked, kind of admiring Brooke for what she was doing. Rachel knew she wouldn't be able to handle something that big.
"Let's take a walk, I'll explain." Brooke said, smiling. She was so happy to have someone to confide in and be able to actually talk to someone about the whole thing. It was going to be a lot easier with the help of her new friend.
