Getting to know about our parents

Brooke walked into the cafe to see her sister, Peyton and Haley engrossed in conversation. She made her way over to them with a huge grin on her face. Brooke sat down next to Haley and opposite Rachel. The girls stopped talking and turned their attention to their friend.

"Where did you get too?" Rachel asked curious

"Oh I had to talk to Luke about something" Brooke responded

"Oh really about what?" Rachel pushed wanting to know more

"Oh nothing, he asked me out again though" Brooke told them and they all smiled at her. Brooke looked at them knowing they wanted to know what she said "And I agreed to let him take me out again"

"You like the blond Scott more than friends don't you Brookie?" Peyton spoke this time seeing Brooke's eyes lit up.

Brooke nodded and then blushed "Yeah I think I do girls"

"Aww Brookie cookie is in love with Lucas Scott" Rachel gushed and Brooke glared at her.

"I wouldn't call it love Rach, maybe a little crush or something. Love is a little too extreme" Brooke stated, after everything that happened in Charleston Brooke could close up at the word love unless it was to her girls or family. Being in love scared Brooke more than anything.

"Sorry" Rachel apologising knowing she went too far

"It's okay Rach" Brooke then smiled at her sister "Anyway as much as I do love to hang out with you guys and gush about boys I have to get ready for my date"

"Okay, well we want the details tomorrow Brooke" Haley piped in

"Yeah I know girls" Brooke laughed "Oh Rach I'll tell mom that you'll be home for dinner yeah?"

Rachel nodded "Yeah okay and Brooke have fun"

"I will and thanks" Brooke then left to go home and get ready.

Lucas walked into his house looking at the time. He still had plenty of time to figure out where he was going to take Brooke on their second date. He had 2 restaurants to choose from. The Italian or he could go for an Indian. Lucas walked through his bedroom and too the kitchen where he saw his mom and uncle making dinner.

"Hey mom, Uncle Keith" Lucas greeted them as he entered the kitchen

"Hey Luke, how was school" Karen asked turning to her son

"Okay, better than usual" Lucas answered "Erm... mom I'm not staying for dinner again, I'm taking Brooke out for our second date"

"Okay well I hope you have a nice time and Luke please don't do anything I wouldn't do" Karen gave Lucas a little smile before he walked back out of the kitchen and too his bedroom.

Brooke was standing in front of her mirror trying to decide on what to wear. She had tried on 4 different outfits and didn't think neither of them was right, not for tonight. She again didn't know where or what they were doing. Brooke stood in front of the mirror wearing a white dress with light yellow followers spread out on the bottom and top with a pink cardigan and pink and white wedges. Brooke nodded at this choice of outfit. She then applied her makeup and headed down stairs where her mom and dad where sitting.

"Wow my baby girl looks gorgeous" Lesley smiled at Brooke when she entered the room.

"Thanks daddy" Brooke smiled

"Yeah you look nice darling" Shelly also smiled and then Brooke was surprised to see Rachel standing in the door way

"You look sexy yet hot" Rachel spoke to make her presence known

"Thanks guys" Brooke then heard the door bell ring and went to get.

When she opened the door she was glad that she didn't see Lucas over do it on what to wear and she just looked right. Rachel came up behind Brooke and looked at Lucas.

"Scott" Rachel nodded

"Rachel" Lucas nodded back

"I'm warning you again Scott. Look after her because if something happens I will come for you" Rachel warned with a stern face "I mean it"

"She's being serious Luke" Brooke assured the blond standing in front of her

"I can believe it" Lucas nodded "So shall we go"

"We shall" Brooke stepped in the house again to get her bag "By mom, dad" Brooke shouted in

"Bye darling" Brooke heard Shelly call back

"Have fun princess" Brooke heard her dad

"By Rach" Brooke then turned round and took Lucas's hand that he offered and they headed for their destination.

Lucas pulled up to this nice Indian restaurant. Brooke got out the car when Lucas parked. She grasped at how beautiful the outside was. She was thinking he is doing well with impressing her. Lucas took Brooke's hand and led her into the restaurant. Once they were in Lucas and Brooke waited for a waiter or waitress to come to them. A petite white young lady walked up to them. The lady looked no older then 25, she was very attractive and her hair was shining like the moon shines of the ocean at night.

"Reservation for Scott" Lucas told the lady

"Oh yes right this way" The lady brought them to a table at the back just like Lucas requested. When they were seated she handed them both a menu "My name is Hanna and I will be your waitress tonight, would you like me to take your drink order?"

"Erm... yes please I'll have a orange juice with no ice" Lucas order

"And I'll have an apple juice with no ice please" Brooke ordered. Hanna walked in the direction of the bar to go do their drinks leaving the two to talk and whatever.

Rachel was sitting on the couch with her parents. The house was quite and everyone was watching Hollyoaks. It went for a break, so Rachel picked up her phone and was about to text someone when her mom spoke up.

"So is this boy nice Rach?" Shelly asked sounding curious and scared at the same time "I mean Brooke went out with him yesterday and he seemed like a nice boy, but so did the others and I don't wasn't to see Brooke heartbroken again"

"He is nice mom; he has liked her since we moved her. His family are real nice too. Well his mom is I haven't met his dad and he doesn't talk much about his dad. His mom actually owns 'Karen's cafe'" Rach told her parents

"Okay well if you say his nice then he must be since you do look after Brooke as her older sister" Shelly then left the conversation at that as Hollyoaks came back on.

Brooke and Lucas had ordered their food 20 minutes ago and were just waiting for it to be cooked. Brooke looked up at Lucas and could see he was smiling at her. She put down her phone "What you smiling about?" Brooke asked

"You look gorgeous to night" Lucas said ignoring Brooke's question

"Why thank you Scott, you don't look bad yourself" Brooke winked at him

"So Brooke have you always liked cheerleading?" Lucas asked

"Well not really. In my last school I was a bit of a trouble maker at first and my grades weren't great. I would bunk of school, drink, smoke and then I did something really bad and the look my dad and mom gave me broke me in two. They went two whole weeks without saying a word to me. We spoke through Rachel and that broke my heart that I hurt them so bad. So then I quit smoking and drinking, I started going to classes and my grades started to pick up, but I needed to do an extracurricular activity to boost up my points so I could start my senior year, I saw the flyer about the Bear Creek Warriors needing cheerleaders" Brooke stopped to catch her breath before she started again "At first I wasn't going to go to the try outs because I hated the cheerleaders and them always being cheery, but then Rachel and my mom persuaded me to go. I put my foot down and said I would only go if Rachel tried out too. So we both went and tried out and we both got in and then junior year I became head cheerleader and ever since I love it" Brooke explained to a very interested Lucas.

"Wow that is quite a story" Lucas said in shock about Brooke being a bad ass

"Yeah, it wasn't good. I started acting out in freshman year when I found out the truth about my mom leaving me and my dad when I was only 2" Brooke sighed

"So how did you find out?" Lucas questioned

Brooke looked at him and then thought back to the day she asked her dad about her mom and why her and Shelly didn't look alike, but Rachel did.

"Well" Brooke started telling the Lucas the story.

Flashback

Brooke saw her dad sitting in the den of their house by himself. She was only 13 at the time. Rachel had just turned 14 a couple of days ago and Brooke was turning 14 next month. Brooke walked into the den and sat opposite her dad. Lesley looked up at her and smiled. Brooke didn't smile back and that's when Lesley knew something was up.

"What's up princess?" Lesley asked signalling for Brooke to go over to him

"Is Shelly my mom?" Brooke blurted out without thinking

"Of course she is Brooke, why would you say otherwise?" Lesley looked at Brooke confused

"No I mean my real mom because I don't look nothing like her or Rachel, but Rachel looks like her" Brooke had tears forming in her eyes and Lesley knew it was the time to tell his little girl the heartbreaking truth. He knew this was going to break her, but he had to tell her now.

"Okay princess" Lesley kneeled down to Brooke's level in front of her "No Shelly is not your real mom, but she is the closest thing you have to a mom and I think of her as your real mom" Lesley admitted to his now crying daughter

"Where's my real mom?" Brooke asked through her sobs

"When you were 1, I woke up to a letter on the pillow next to me; the letter basically said she couldn't deal with being a mom so young. She said she was sorry and that she was never coming back. I didn't believe her so I waited for her to come back for a year and then when you just turned 2 I met Shelly and we got married when I was 21 and she was 19" Lesley told Brooke everything and Brooke just flung her arms around her dad's neck and sobbed into his chest when he finished.

That day Brooke made a promise to herself and that promise was to never ask about her mom again. If her mom didn't want anything to do with her then that was fine, she has a mom anyway. Shelly was her mom and will always be her mom.

End of flashback

Lucas sat there shocked when Brooke had told him the story. She had tears in her eyes, but she also vowed that night that she wouldn't shred another tear for the women to gave birth to her.

"That is awful Brooke" Lucas reached over the table and took Brooke's hand in his and gave it a light squeeze

"I know, but it's whatever" Brooke shrugged it off

"So tell me about your dad Luke. I never hear you or Nathan talk about him. All I know from what Haley told me was that you and your mom prefer not being involved with your dad and that you and Nathan are brothers by dad not mom, so I was just wondering what happened" Brooke asked

"No much to tell really" Lucas replied and Brooke could see she hit a soft spot, but she pushed anyway.

"Come on Luke, tell me" Brooke sipped at her drink "It's only fair since I told you about my mom"

Lucas nodded "Fine" Lucas looked up and Brooke and sighed "So my mom and ad were together in high school. Just like me and you kind of, my mom was head cheerleader and my dad was the star basketball player and what my mom told me they were happy until my mom feel pregnant with me and my dad told her to get rid of it, but she didn't and he left her and went off to college" Lucas felt a lump form in his throat, but he tried to ignore it and he carried on "He met Nathan's mom Deb in college and they dated and then he knocked her up as well and she had Nathan. My dad didn't leave her and they got married"

"Oh that is quite a story Luke" Brooke didn't know what to say after hearing that his dad didn't want him "I'm sorry"

"It's okay, I got over it in the end" Lucas also shrugged it off

"So you and Nathan are okay about all this?" Brooke asked as there food arrived "Thanks Hanna" Brooke smiled up at the waitress

"No problem. If you need anything, let me know" Hanna then left the two to eat

"Well when I met Nathan he hated my guts and it became worse when I joined the basketball team. He felt threatened by me, so he made my life a living hell until he met Haley who at first hated him too and then he asked her to tutor him to get at me and then slowly they feel in love. We became closer and now here we are all friends" Lucas explained and Brooke nodded

"Sounds like Haley was the one who got you two together" Brooke smiled at him

"Yeah I guess she was" Lucas nodded "So Brooke I have been meaning to ask you something"

"Ask away Scott" Brooke said as she put a spoonful of curry into her mouth

"Would you like to be my girlfriend" Brooke nearly choked on her food. She took a gulp of the water she asked extra for and looked up at Lucas "Don't feel you need to say yes Brooke, I wasn't putting pressure on you, I just like you so much and I just wanted to be able to call you my girlfriend and kiss you whenever and take you out without feel nervous all the time and-" Lucas began to ramble

"Luke" Brooke spoke to cut him off. Lucas stopped what he was saying and looked at her. She was so beautiful he thought when she smiled or just the way she was everyday day. Lucas didn't say anything he just hoped Brooke would continue and she did "I like you too and I would love to be you're girlfriend" Lucas smiled at her

"Really?" Lucas questioned hoping he wasn't dreaming

"Really" Brooke nodded "I would lean over and kiss you, but I don't want to get any of this curry on my dress. It was expensive"

Lucas laughed and nodded "Of course baby" Lucas got up and leaned over instead and placed a soft kiss on her lips "Better" Brooke nodded and then kissed him back before he sat back down

Brooke got home the same time as she did last night. The night was again perfect and now she had officially got a boyfriend who happened to be the one the only Lucas Scott. Brooke stood on the door step and smiled back at her boyfriend. He leaned in and kissed her again which she deepened by putting her arms around his neck pulling him closer. Their mouths moved together and Lucas begged for entrance which Brooke gladly accepted. They must have been standing there for a good 10 minutes when they heard a voice. It was Brooke's sister Rachel.

"Get a room" Rachel called out and Brooke laughed "Brookie time to get in now"

Brooke looked up and saw her sister looking out from her bedroom window "I'm coming Rach" Brooke looked back at Lucas and kissed him one last time before opening her front door "See you tomorrow broody"

"Broody?" Lucas questioned with his eye brow raised

"Yeah one of my nicknames to you" Brooke nodded "You brood a lot" Brooke told him "Night and thanks again for tonight"

"Night pretty girl" Lucas smiled at her and turned to walk away until he heard her voice again.

"Pretty girl?" Brooke kinked her eye brow

"Yeah one of my nicknames for you" Lucas smirked "Night and your welcome"

Brooke walked into her house and shut the door. She walked to the window in the front room and watched as Lucas drove away. She smiled and then headed for bed. She knew tomorrow at school that everyone will know about her and Lucas.
