Chapter 24

It was the day of the Halloween Disco and the whole school was buzzing. Everyone was talking about who was going with whom, and what everyone was wearing. The main topic of convocation was who was going to be elected Homecoming King and Queen.

"So Brooke you must be psyched about being nominated, your defiantly gonna win!" Bevin, a girl from the cheerleading squad, exclaimed as Brooke arrived at school that morning.
Brooke sighed and clenched teeth before saying, "Yeah, it's gonna be great!" Brooke said feigning interest and enthusiasm. Bevin smiled and bounded off to her lesson, Brooke was not excited to be nominated for Queen, because she knew King would be one of the two Scott brothers, and there was one she defiantly didn't want to dance with or spend her whole night with.

Though, that does mean I don't have to talk to Chase, Brooke considered as an actual good reason to talk to Lucas. Brooke hadn't spoken to Lucas since that time at her locker a week ago.

She had seen him at the fancy dress store, but they hadn't spoken to each other. Brooke knew it was about time she actually had a proper talk with him, but she knew as soon as he spoke a few of his heart-melting words that she would fall into his arms. But he had hurt her bad, again and Brooke wasn't going to let herself get hurt again, it was too much pain.

Brooke saw Haley walking towards her, and if it was possible looking even bigger than when Brooke had saw her last, which had only been two days ago. Haley was carrying about a hundred books so Brooke rushed over to help.

"Hales, what are you doing carrying the library to school?" Brooke said smiling and taking the top half of the pile.

"Well that is a good point; you think that idiotic caretaker would not give a pregnant woman a whole pile of heavy things to carry." Brooke stifled a laugh she loved Haley's hormones.

"And you'll never believe what he said!" Haley said thoroughly frustrated. Brooke shrugged, "No, but I bet you're gonna tell me!"

"You look like you've put on a bit of weight!" Brooke cracked up laughing but more of Haley's face rather then what she actually said.

"Let's get to class, Hales. Before we run into the caretaker!"

Lucas and Nathan were in basketball training after school and they were discussing their relationships, or in Lucas' case lack of.

"So what is the deal with you and Brooke? And don't give me that crap that you are over her, because let's face it, your never gonna get over Brooke Davis!"

Lucas cracked a smile and nodded, he never was going to be able to get over Brooke, she was the one.

"You not what you need?" Nathan said passing Lucas the ball, Lucas shrugged, "Brooke." Lucas suggested and took a shot and it bounced of the rim of the basket. Ever since him and Brooke broke up, his game had taken a fall. Whitey was really worried for the game that was coming up. Lucas and Nathan were taking this extra practise, so they both would be on top form for the game.

Nathan had missed the last two training sessions, because he had been at the doctor's with Haley, having scans and check-ups.

"No man, what you need, is a plan to win her back." Nathan said defending Lucas' shot. Lucas considered this thought and realised that Nathan was right.

"Okay, like what sort of plan. Any suggestions, Nate."

Nathan aimed and shot and the ball circled the rim and fell of the other end. Nate shook his head; maybe it wasn't such a great idea.

"But I know you Luc, and I know how crazy you are about Brooke, and I know that you will come up with something." Nathan said picking up his ports bag.

"But for now I need to get back to my wife!" Lucas laughed the hormones were getting to Nathan. But Lucas knew that in the end, Haley and Nathan would have a beautiful baby, and he also knew that Nathan couldn't wait to be a dad.

Brooke was at home getting ready for the disco; she was just checking her hair and make-up. Brooke looked down at her outfit, she felt so fake. The only person who could ever fully complete her, the only person who could make her truly happy, the only person she could totally love, was the one person she couldn't be with.

Brooke heard a car horn and she looked out her bedroom window and saw an excited Chase dressed as Zorro, in the car. Brooke chuckled; this could be an interesting night.

Nathan stood in their living room and waited patiently for Haley to emerge, she had been in their room for and hour. But Nathan knew better than to disturb her. Haley came out and Nathan smiled, more for the look on Haley's face than anything else. She was dresses as a fairy with a pink tutu and large pink fairy wings.

Nathan was dressed as Jack Sparrow, and picked up his hat before walking over to Haley and kissing her on the forehead.

"You look great Haley." Nathan said and Haley smiled and looked into Nathan's eyes and said, "You don't look too bad yourself."

Haley walked past him and Nathan's followed, this could be an interesting night, Nathan thought.

Lucas picked up his hat and adjusted it in the mirror. Lucas had dressed up as a cowboy and personally thought he looked ridiculous, but Jake had assured him that it was fine about hundred times.

Lucas knew this was his last chance to win back Brooke, and this was so important to him. Lucas picked up the box that he had put on his bandstand and checked the content before sliding the small box into his trouser pocket.

This is going to be an interesting night, Lucas thought as he opened his bedroom door.
