Chapter 5: I dare you to move

It had been a week since Brooke had started school and Peyton was right, she fit in
so well with there group. Chase finally asked her on a date and Brooke said yes. Everyone thought they were perfect for each other.. that is everyone except for Brooke and Nathan.

It was the day of Chase and Brooke first official date and Brooke couldn't stop thinking about Nathan. She hadn't really told anyone about her other feelings for Nathan, she hadn't really told herself yet. She just pushed them aside and kept thinking about Chase. I mean it's not like she didn't have feeling for Chase because she did. It's just there was something about the way Nathan looked at her, the way he talked to her, it was something special, something she's never felt before.

Brooke sat on the vanity chair as Haley stood behind her put loose curls in your regularly straight hair.

"So are you excited for your first official date of Tree Hill" Haley said with a smile.
"Yeah I mean why wouldn't I ? He's taking me to a small restaurant down town and then he said we're going dancing." Brooke said with a smile on her face, not to sure if it was a fake, but none the less a smile.
"Ahh yes, thats the way to any Jame's girls heart, food and dancing!" Haley said laughing a little.

Haley put the finishing touches on Brooke's hair and makeup when the doorbell rang. Haley ran down the stairs excited to see Chase, she opened the door and ushered him in, when the doorbell rang again. She opened it up to see Lucas and Nathan standing there with there hands in there pockets. Nathan looking a little aggravated or nervous, Haley couldn't really tell which one.
"Hey guys? What are you doing here?" Haley said with a puzzled look on her face.
"Well, we thought that since Brooke was going out with Chase tonight, we could come and keep you company?" Lucas said with a small smile on his lips looking at Haley deep into the eyes.
The two lost in each others eyes didn't even realize Brooke coming down the stairs in a red halter dress, her makeup simple, but elegant and her hair softly curled.

Welcome to the planet
Welcome to existence
Everyone's here
Everyone's here
Everybody's watching you now
Everybody waits for you now
What happens next?
What happens next?

Nathan's eyes never left her body as she slowly made her way down the stairs. Chase walked to the bottom of the stairs and took her hand and making there way to the door. Nathan's blood boiled at the sight of this. He pulled his hand through his hair and as he did his eyes met with Brooke's, sending a shiver down both there spines. Chase witnessed it but just brushed it off, he knew Brooke liked him and thats all that mattered. Or was it ? I mean I think someone who was blind could see the way they felt about each other, that is everyone except for Brooke, Chase and Nathan.

I dare you to lift yourself up off the floor
I dare you to move
I dare you to move
Like today never happened
Today never happened before

His blood boiled as he saw her eyes light up and her bright smile break out, all at the sight of Chase and not him. He grabbed her hand and they made there way to the door. Just as they were about to leave for there date, Brooke turned around and grabbed her purse and as she did there eyes met. An electrifying stare, intense, full of lust and though they both didn't realize it.. love

Welcome to the fallout
Welcome to resistance
The tension is here
The tension is here
Between who you are and who you could be
Between how it is and how it should be

Chase stepped out of his car and walked around quickly to open the door for Brooke. She smiled up to him and then glanced around to take in her surroundings. They were standing in the middle of a park which was lit up with a soft slow song playing in the night. Brooke opened her eyes and gasped at her surroundings. It was perfect.. 'perfect if Nathan was here ' she thought, mentally slapping herself for thinking that while on a date with Chase.

I dare you to lift yourself up off the floor
I dare you to move
I dare you to move
Like today never happened
Today never happened

"So... do you like it ?" Chase said quietly as he raised his head to look at Brooke nervously.
"Its.. it's amazing" She stammered as she took in her surroundings. The reflection of the lights dancing in the pond, the cool air blowing just right, and the candle lit dinner for two sitting underneath a willow tree.
"I can't believe you did this.. for me" She said the last part more quietly, now feeling guilty for her feelings for Nathan.
"Well Brooke, you know ever since I first met you, since I first saw you I knew there was something different about you" He said taking a step closer to Brooke, placing his hands on her hips softly.
"Really now whats so different about me?" Brooke said playfully.
"Your sweet, smart, funny and your beautiful.." He said but was soon cut off by Brooke's lips on his, her tongue now licking his lips silently asking for permission . He granted her wish, slowly opening his mouth to let their tongues duel together, fighting for control softly. Air soon becoming an issue , they slowly pull apart. Her eyes fluttering open,awaiting Nathan to be looking back at her. But when she realized who she was really kissing a blush spread across her soft cheeks and a soft smirk forming on his now kiss swollen lips.
"No guy has ever called me beautiful, it was always sexy, hot, or bangable." She said as they stared into each others eyes
"Well you are all those things, he said still smirking, but most of all beautiful" Chase said as he took her hand and led her to the candle lit dinner.
Brooke's breath caught in her throat. The table had a single tall candle lit in the middle, with a deep red table cloth and two elaborate place settings. Chase walked over to the table and pulled out her chair, taking her hand softly and leading her to the chair.

Maybe redemption has stories to tell
Maybe forgiveness is right where you fell
Where can you run to escape from yourself?
Where you gonna go?
Where you gonna go?
Salvation is here

"Chase... you really didn't have to do all of this!" She exclaimed as she sat in to the table.
"Brooke, you have to realize that I'd do this and more for you if I could" He said as he sat down and took her hands in his."I just want you to be with me Brooke, only me, no other guys and no other girls. Just me and you" He said smiling softly

It was like it was all going in slow motion from there, she liked Chase.. but she also liked Nathan. All these things he was saying, immediately made her think of her feelings for Nathan. The way Chase was explaining it was exactly how she felt for Chase. She wanted to tell him... she needed to tell him. She waited out the rest of the date and felt guilty the whole time, sitting on a perfectly romantic date waiting to get to the real guy she loved.

Meanwhile a very drunk Nathan walked into a crowed room. After seeing Brooke and Chase leave together, he felt like a ton of bricks had just hit him in the head. He decided his time would be better spent getting piss drunk than wallowing in his own sorrows.

He made his way to the party and immediately started hitting the drinks back hard. Images of Chase and Brooke kept going through his head as he chugged another back.

"Well, I don't think I've ever seen you around here.. but then again I'm new and I'm also drunk" A feisty red head slurred.

An image of Brooke popped into his head but he shook it off and wrapped his arms around the girls waist and pulled her close to him.

"Have you guys seen Nathan" Brooke said as she ran in the house. Chase had just dropped her off and she had gave him a quick goodnight kiss before bolting into the house.
"Uh... he said he was going to the party on 6 Germandale Place. " Haley said not really paying attention to her but motley on Lucas.
"Okay," She said as she ran out the door and into her car, if she was going to do it she had to do it fast before she lost all her nerve.
She sped down the street going way to fast than she should of and stopped suddenly when she saw the drunken teenagers and heard the loud music blaring. She ran into the house and when she opened the door a slow song turned on.

I dare you to move
I dare you to move
I dare you to lift yourself
Lift yourself off the floor

Everyone paired off and she soon found herself frantically tapping on peoples shoulders asking if they've seen Nathan Scott, all pointing in the same direction. Up the spiraling staircase. Her stomach plummeted as she walked up the stairs hearing a high pitched giggle. She opened the door to find a naked Nathan and a naked red head wrapped up in the sheets.

"Oh my god?" Brooke said as her eyes teared up.
The mess of dark hair whipped around
"Brooke.?" He whispered jumped out of bed leaving the red head there wrapped up in the sheet. Brooke couldn't move, she wanted to so badly but she couldn't. It was like she was glued to the spot on the floor, looking from the red head to Nathan, back and forth just trying to process it. Nathan now had his jeans on and walked towards Brooke placing his hand on her arm softly and with one single touch it was like she came back to life. She pushed his hand off of her arm.
"You don't have any right to touch me, not now and not ever" She spat the tears now spilling down her cheeks.
"Brooke I'm sorry, but.. but you were out with Chase" He said the anger growing in his voice.
"But.. I was coming here to tell you.. actually you know what. You don't even deserve to know my feelings right now" She said as she whipped around and ran down the stairs . She ran to her car and with a shaky hand put the keys into her car, her vision blurred from the tears she backed out of the driveway and as she did.. everything went black
