Chapter Two: Coffee Run
Brooke Davis got ready for her coffee date, with Lucas. It really wasn't a date more of friends catching up. But a girl can dream right? She wore a black sequined top, grey skinny jeans and her long brunette hair in a neat high ponytail. She wore her blue converse.
"Perfect." She smiled showing her dimpled smile. She grabbed her bag and her white iPhone 4s and headed to meet Lucas. She drove down to the place they first met. With ironically was in the back of his car. So he scratched that. Instead to Karen's café.
"Hey." Brooke said.
"Hello, you look nice."
"Thank you. So what did you want to talk about?"
"Oh. Peyton. I guess." Lucas replied. Peyton name made him feel so hurt.
"Look, Lucas. Peyton is my best friend, and I love her, but I got to take her side. You kind of went all Naley on her. She's just not ready yet, but that doesn't mean she doesn't want to marry you. God Luke she loves you, and I think it was a dick move leaving her in LA by herself, and leaving her with her CD. You should have stayed and worked things out with her."
"Brooke it isn't that easy." Lucas said wrapping his hands around the brown stray foam cup.
"Yes it is. Okay how hard is it to tell Peyton I love you, can we work this out?"
"It is hard, when the girl you loved, told you the night before she didn't want to marry me. So of course I left her. It's too hard to see someone, who broke up with you, because she's not ready for marriage." He answered.
"Okay. Nobody ready for marriage, especially when your only 19. I'm not even ready for marriage, she probably turned you down because 1) she's too young. 2) Wanted to wait for one more year. 3) Not ready and it probably scares her. Heck, it scares me." She said sipping her double double latte with extra foam.
"Scared of marriage?" He said curiously.
"Yeah, because sometimes when you get engaged or married to the person you love. Something turns out wrong like they weren't who you thought they were." "Okay, Brooke, but everyone says were like twins so she shouldn't get scared?"
"All girls get scared. I do. I'm pretty sure Haley did, when she and Nathan started their first months as an official married couple."
"Okay that's different. They love it now. Okay."
"You should really wait one more year, to me with her. Luke, please give her a chance. She loves you. I love you. She just wants it to be you and her against the world. Trust me nobody can come between Lucas and Peyton. It's always been you two forever, and it sucks to be the 'Brooke' between Lucas and Peyton it's not a good place to be. And I know it sucks being the footnote in someone else's love story. So think about it Luke. Okay?"
"Alright Brooke. Thanks for this. How's clothes over bros?"
"A freaking disaster. And we should do this more often." She paid her half she grabbed her bag and her phone and left to meet Haley.
"Hey Hales, where my favourite godson?"
"Out with Nate, and he's your only godson."
"That's not true I'm pretty sure you pregnant or ready to pop another one out."
"EW, god no Brooke not yet."
"Oh, come on! It's you and Nate. Anyway. I spoke to Luke about his 'engagement' to Peyton. And I know I sound like a hypocrite, but he still loves her. Even though he didn't tell me. I've known him for a while and I can tell he's still in love with Peyton."
"So you gave him advice to get back together with Peyton?" Haley asked holding a glass of red wine.
"Yes, because Peyton and him are my best friends. And I love them both." Brooke responded.
"So you didn't tell him that you love him?"
"How could I Hales, he just got out of a relationship. And that work perfectly oh hey Luke I still love you. Don't marry Peyton. Yeah right." Brooke replied sarcastically. (for the last part)
"Your one of the amazing people I know, who puts her friends before her, but now you so put herself above everyone else. And do what you want. Trust me it's not easy going though life alone."
"Thanks, Hales you know how to cheer me up. I got to go. Bye." She said putting her wine glass on the table and left.
"What was that all about?" Nathan asked, as Jamie ran to his mom who scooped him up in her arms as he shut the door. "Oh nothing. Brooke just talking about Lucas and Peyton, but mostly Lucas."
"Alright."
After Haley put Jamie to bed, she went downstairs, poured herself another glass of wine. And grabbed a beer from the fridge for Nathan, and joined him in their family room.
"Thanks." He said.
"Brooke said the craziest thing ever." Haley replied.
"What she say?" "That you and I should have another baby. And I would but Jamie's only 5 and we can't handle a newborn, or the fact that Jamie might feel neglected after the baby comes home. And I don't want to do that to him."
"So, does that mean were having another baby?" Nathan asked.
"No, not yet when Jamie gets older."
"AW." Nathan pouted. "Anyway, when is my sexy girl going to get back to recording?" .
"I don't know, Nate it's not easy, with a 5 year old, and going on tour is going to drift us apart. Look what it did to us before?"
"Hales, were not that couple anymore; were much stronger. And I know you love feelings of the crowds like me when I get out playing a game and being out there. I know you Haley James. And Jamie and I can come with you."
"Yeah right, he has school and a new city every night living out of a tour bus what kind of life is that?"
"The life any kid would dream of. So what do you say Haley James?"
"Fine." "This calls for a celebration. More wine Mrs. Scott."
"Yes please."
Lucas fell asleep, while writing his 2nd book. His cellphone rang, straight to voicemail: You've reached Lucas Scott. Congratulations. Hey Lucas, It's me Peyton I wanted to know what happened to us? And I know it's late; but please just listen. When you asked me to marry you. I was just scared and not ready. But now I am. God Luke I love you. I want to marry you, and I'm ready. I know what you're thinking stupid right? I know but I've spent days crying over you. And now I can't anymore. So call me back after you get this. We really need to talk. I love you- Peyton Sawyer.
What do you think of this? Update or no? Review please. Brucas won't happen until later on like chapter 5 or something.- Alexis
