...And Then Something Bad Happens
Previously on, "The Not So Perfect Life"...
He walked over to Peyton who was talking to Jake. "Hey, Peyton, can I talk to you for a minute?"
"Sure, what's up?" she said, walking over to him.
"Has Brooke been talking to you lately?"
"I'm not sure what you mean, Lucas." she said, confused.
"I mean like really talk to you. She hasn't been acting like herself lately and I'm worried about her." he explained.
"Well, have you tried talking to her?" Peyton asked, laughing a little. Lucas was obviously clueless when it came to this kind of stuff.
"No, but I thought maybe she's not telling me because it's a girl thing or something."
"Ok, Lucas, I can talk to her for you."
"Thanks, Peyt." he said, giving her a side hug.
"No problem, that's what friends are for."

Over the next few weeks, Peyton tried talking to Brooke, but she would always lie and Peyton could see it in her eyes that she was lying. So she decided to take things to the next level.
"Lucas, what if this doesn't work?" Peyton asked Lucas, quietly, in their math class they had together.
"It will work, trust me." he said, worriedly. They decided to just kidnap her and lock her in Peyton's bedroom with them until she said what was bothering her. It was pretty lame, but what else could they do?
"Ok, after this class is over I willl take her to my house and we'll go from there."
Lucas nodded.
Meanwhile, Rachel and Brooke were sitting outside talking and laughing.
"Can you believe those people thought we were lebians!" Brooke said.
"Yes, but I can't believe you did that!" Rachel, laughed.
-Flashback-
"Ok, I would like to start off by asking you why you want to adopt my baby." Brooke said, sitting with Rachel in the adoption agency, where she was interviewing couples for her baby.
"We can't have kids ourself, so adoption is the only choice." the woman said, sadly.
"I see, would you be able to put all of your attention towards this baby, because I want to make sure my baby has the life I never had."
"Yes, I am willing to leave my job to take care of the baby."
"That's great, that's all I really want to know."
"Since you two are lesbians, does this baby have a chance of being one?" the man asked, curiously. Rachel and Brooke looked at eachother, confused.
"Um, excuse me but-" Brooke got cut off by the man.
"Because we can't have a child that isn't normal." the woman continued.
Brooke just gave them a discusted look. "Excuse me, but that shouldn't even matter, if you aren't going to love this child for what it is, then I'm sorry, I don't want you to be the parents." Brooke said, angrily, standing up. "Come on, honey, let's go find a couple that will love our child know matter what!"
Rachel grabbed Brooke's hand and they walked out of the room pretending to actually be a lesbian couple.
-End Flashback-
"Now that was definitly something I would do." Brooke said, then stopped giggling suddenly. "But it was so stupid! I don't even have another couple to interview!"
"Brooke, don't worry about it, if you can't find a couple then the adoption agency will." Rachel explained.
"Yea, but I don't want just anybody to have my baby." she said, starting to cry. "I want to know its being taken good care of, and being loved...and to know that even though I couldn't keep it, I still loved it."
There was silence for a minute, then Rachel spoke.
"Brooke, you know how you could fix that."

After school was over Peyton asked Brooke to come to her house just to hang out. She knew Brooke was going to hate her for ever for doing this to her, but she had to help her somehow, she didn't like seeing her friend like this and she didn't like to see her other friend, Lucas, be so worried about her.
"So, what are we going to do?" Brooke asked, cheerily, sitting on Peyton's bed. "We haven't just hung out with just the two of us in a while."
Peyton looked at Brooke with a serious look on her face. "Brooke, there's a reason I asked you over here."
"Peyton-"
"Brooke, you have to know I'm just trying to help you." she continued. "Your my best friend and I don't like seeing you like this."
"So, your having an intervention, yea, your a really great friend." Brooke said, starting to cry again. "Just leave me alone."
"No, Brooke, were not going to leave you alone, because we care about you and we want to help." Lucas said, walking into the room and shutting the door behind him.
At this point Brooke was crying harder. "Your in on this, too, Luke? I thought you loved me, how dare you do this to me!"
"I do love you, that's why I'm doing this." he said, upset.
"I have to go." Brooke said, getting up and walking towards the door, but Lucas grabbed her.
"No, your not leaving until we talk about this." he said.
She just stood there crying.
"Peyton, could you give us a second?" Lucas asked.
"Of course, I'll be downstairs."
Peyton left and Lucas took Brooke and they sat on the bed. "Can we talk now?"
Brooke closed her eyes and nodded, still shaking.
"Do you want me to start or are you going to?"
"Luke, your going to be mad."
"I think I'll be the judge of that." he said, laughing a little to try and make the conversation easier.
"No, your going to be mad and I understand if you never want to speak to me again after I tell you this." she said. "And after I say it, I'm just going to leave, you don't have to yell at me."
Lucas was about to say something then Brooke started talking again.
"Ok...Lucas, I lied to you. Actually, I didn't lie as much as I kept something from you...I'm 5 months pregnant and I didn't tell you, I couldn't te-"
Lucas looked at Brooke's stomach confused. All that time he didn't even notice she was pregnant, she was wearing baggier clothes, but still, he should have known. "What?" he asked, very scared.
"Lucas, I'm sorry, you have a future in basketball to look forward to and I didn't want to get in the way of that...and I thought if I told you I would just be like your mom, left with a kid because the guy didn't want anything to do with it."
Lucas just starred off at nothing, not even saying anything at all.
"I'm gunna go, bye, Lucas..." she said, crying, walking out of the room, leaving Lucas just to sit there and stare at the wall.
After Brooke left, Peyton came up to her bedroom to check on Lucas.
"Are you ok?" Peyton asked, sitting beside him.
He sat there for a second then looked at Peyton. "Brooke's pregnant, 5 months pregnant."
Peyton hugged him with a shocked look on her face and he just broke down on her. "What am I going to do?"

On the way home, Brooke could barely see where she was going because she was crying so hard and the fact that she had so much going through her head at the moment, didn't help much. "What's wrong with me? How could I let my life get so messed up?"...Brooke looked to her left and then to her right so she could turn and then out of nowhere a semi came right threw the intersection. "Ohmigod!" she screamed. It all happened so fast she couldn't even do anything about it, then everything went black.
