Welcome to 2012 and I hope this year brings everyone happiness.
You lied to me!
Brooke was sitting in the living room with a cushion wrapped in her arms. She was watching Mean Girls by herself as Rachel hadn't got home from school yet. It had been 4 hours since Brooke and Lucas had officially got back together. Brooke brought her drink to her lips and took a gulp and then put it back on the table beside the couch. The film was coming to an end when Brooke heard the door bell ring. She looked at the time that read 7:00pm. She wasn't expecting anyone so she had no idea who it could be until she looked out of the window and saw him standing there the blond boy she hated. Brooke opened the door and he looked at her. Brooke put her hands on her hips and glared at him not knowing what to say or do.
"What are you doing here Chris?" Brooke sighed "And how did you find me?"
"I goggled your family name and it gave me this address, so I came here to see you" Chris responded
"Yeah well you should leave" Brooke stated
"But I came to see you, I wanted to see you" Chris repeated and Brooke just didn't care
"But I don't want to see you, now if you don't mind I'm going to go back and watch my film because I want to and then I'm going to call my boyfriend and say goodnight and then I'm going to go to bed and forget you ever came here" Brooke told him slowly "Now go" Brooke went to close then door until Chris stopped her. He stepped towards her and there leane din to kiss her. Their lips clashed together for a second and then Brooke pushed him off "Get off me Chris" I then shut the door this time he didn't have the chance to stop the door.
Lucas stood there shocked. Had he just seen right. Did he just see his girlfriend and some guy kiss on the porch? He couldn't believe Brooke would do this to him after everything they have been through and what it took for them to get back together just 4 hours ago and now he just saw his girlfriend kissing someone else. Lucas stood there and then left without seeing anything else.
Brooke saw back on the couch and watched the rest of the film. Once it finished she walked to her room and picked up her phone scrolling down to Lucas's number and pressed call. The phone rang a couple of times and then Lucas cut it off which confused Brooke so she tried again, but this time it went straight to voice mail. Brooke didn't bother to leave him a message so she just left it and laid in bed for a little.
Lucas was in his room lying in his bed when he felt his phone buzz. Lucas picked it up and saw 'Pretty Girl' flash. He shook his head and then pressed end call. He didn't want to talk to her right now. Then he heard his phone buzz again and saw 'Pretty Girl' flash again. He just ignored it this time and let it go to voice mail. All that kept on his mind was Brooke kissing that dude he has never seen before. Lucas just laid there for a little longer and then he fell off to sleep.
Brooke woke by the sound of her phone ringing. She looked at the call id and saw it was Haley. Brooke answered the phone and heard Haley talking to her "Hey Brooke"
"Hi Hales, what's wrong?" Brooke asked
"Rachel called me, she said to call you and tell you that she's staying with Peyton tonight and she'll see you tomorrow at school" Haley responded
"Okay thanks Hales" Brooke said "Bye Hales"
"Bye Brookie and I'll see you tomorrow" Haley hung up the phone and then Brooke looked at the time and saw it was 10:00pm. She drifted off to sleep again.
The light shined through the window of Brooke's room. She awoke when the sun light kissed her face. Brooke pulled back her covers and started to yawn while stretching. Brooke looked at the phone and was disappointed when she saw she didn't get anything from Lucas. Brooke shrugged it off and went to get dressed. She walked into the shower and then got dressed wearing a pink dress with a blue cardigan and her pink wedges. Brooke put her makeup on and headed out to school. Once she entered the school gate she parked in her usual space and stayed there for a minute waiting for Lucas to show up.
Lucas drove into the parking space and looked ahead. He saw Brooke sitting in her car. He wanted to get out and just kissed her, but after last night he didn't know what was going on. He saw Brooke get out the car and headed towards him. He strolled down his window and she stopped "Morning boyfriend, I tried calling you last night, but you cut me off and then it went to voice mail the second time" Brooke told him. Lucas scrolled his window back up and got out the car ignoring Brooke. He walked passed her and over to the guys. Brooke was stood there shocked and confused. Rachel called her over so she walked over to the girls and stood there still looking at Lucas.
"What the hell was that about?" Rachel asked a still very confused Brooke
"I have no idea, but I'm going to find out" Brooke started walking towards Lucas and the guys. She taped him on the shoulder and when he turned around his smiled dropped. Brooke pulled him away from everyone, so they were standing in the middle of the quad. The guys and girls watched as Brooke and Lucas had a verbal fight.
"Let go off me Brooke" Lucas said as he snatched his arm from her grasped
"What the hell was all that about earlier?" Brooke asked looking hurt "Do you treat all your girlfriends like that? Do you ignore them after you just got back together with them Luke?"
"Oh I'm sorry did I hurt your precious feelings Brooke" Lucas said sarcastically
"Yeah actually you did so you going to tell me why you're pissed at me or do I have to be left guessing" Brooke put her hand on her hips.
"I like the second idea better" Lucas smirked at his meant to be girlfriend and the circled around her and followed the guys into the school before the bell rang.
Brooke turned round and watched Lucas walk off; she didn't know why he was acting like a jerk to her after what he said the other day at the club. Brooke felt Rachel's hand on her arm "What was that about?"
Brooke shrugged and the sighed "I don't know Rach, his being a jerk and he will lose me if he carries on" Brooke then walked off into the school leaving Rachel, Peyton and Haley looking after her.
Hanna was walking down the corridor as the guys whistled and watched her. She smiled and winked at some of them and then stopped at her locker. She put her combination in and opened it as she felt someone slip their arms around waist. Hanna turned around and sae Julian standing behind her with a huge smile plastered on his face.
"Hey Han" Julian smiled at her and she couldn't help, but blush a little hoping he didn't notice
"Hi" Han tried to play it cool
"So you're a cheerleader now?" Julian asked the obvious
"Well if you saw me at cheer practice yesterday then yes I am" Hanna laughed to herself at Julian's sudden awkwardness.
"Yeah I guess" Julian laughed trying to hide the embarrassment "Anyway I wanted to know if you would go to the dance with me next month?"
Hanna looked at him shocked. She had never been asked to a dance before. Especially a month in advance. Hanna nodded and then smiled back at him "I would love too"
Julian smiled back at her and then winked "Cool, so I'll save you seat next to me on the bus to Charleston on Friday"
"Okay" Hanna said shutting her locker and then she went to walk away until he stopped her.
"Hanna" Julian called out
Hanna stopped "Yeah Julian"
"I was wondering if you wanted to go out with me tonight. We could go to Karen's cafe for something to eat" Julian suggested feeling really nervous. His hands were sweating as he waited for her answer.
"I have cheer practice, but yeah okay afterwards" Hanna agreed
"Yeah I have practice too" Julian was happy that she said yes
"Okay see you later then" Hanna then walked off and Julian watched her go with a huge smile on his face.
Brooke had a free period so she walked into the gym where she would normally go to practice the routine. Brooke walked in and saw Lucas shooting hoops so she guessed he had a free period too. Brooke was tempted to go up to him and demand an explanation, but she second thought it and decided to just keep quiet and practice. Lucas heard her and turned round. He watched as she danced the routine that she loved so much to beat the Charleston cheerleaders including the snotty stuck up bitch Claire Young. Brooke opened her eyes and saw Lucas looking at her, she gave him a sift smile and he just glared at her then turned to walk away. Brooke was sick of this, sick of him being horrible to him when she didn't even know why. After the fight they had in the quad Lucas had been trying to avoid her and Brooke wanted to know and she wanted to know now.
"What is your fucking problem?" Brooke shouted through the gym.
Lucas stopped and looked at her. He could see she actually had no idea why he was so pissed at her "You make me out to be the bad guy Brooke when you're the one who did me wrong this time. You didn't talk to me for weeks because I didn't tell Britney we were dating and then because I defended her, but all this time I should have been warned about you and the guys you like to bring into your god damn life" Lucas yelled back feeling really frustrated. He was sick and tired of being known as the bad guy when girls could be bitches back and that's what Brooke had been a bitch.
"What are you talking about Lucas?" Brooke asked "I have done nothing wrong and you were wrong for what you did, but I thought we got over that"
"We did and then I see you kissing some guy on your porch last night. I came to surprise my girlfriend and then I see some guy turn so I thought it was Chinese or something, but then you kissed and I got back into my car and drove off. Yeah I declined your calls and sent it to voicemail, but you deserved it because what you did was really screwed up Brooke and I didn't believe you would do that to me since you know what cheating feels like" Lucas ranted and then Brooke realised why he was so pissed at her. I guess he had the right to be know she knew why, but it wasn't like that. He didn't stay long enough to see Brooke push away from the guy and shut the door.
"I didn't cheat on you Luke and I would never do that" Brooke didn't know whether she felt hurt by him thinking that and treating her that way without letting her explain.
"Oh really then what were you and that guy doing?" Lucas sighed and Brooke felt like crying.
"FYI he kissed me Luke and I pushed him away which obviously you didn't see and besides it was Chris my ex, he turned up and kissed me out of the blue" Brooke explained and Lucas looked stupid now "I'm your girlfriend Luke and it is really insulting you thinking I would do that to you"
Lucas stepped towards Brooke and cupped her face in his hands "I'm sorry Brooke I guess I jumped to conclusions when I should have told you and let you explain" Lucas leaned in a placed a soft kiss on her lips. Brooke smiled into the kiss and then flung her arms around Lucas's neck and leaned into his embrace feeling safe again.
"Apology accepted" Brooke nuzzled her head into Lucas's neck and then pulled away.
"Thanks Pretty Girl" Lucas kissed her again
"Anything for you" Brooke smiled "But I really have to get back to dance the routine Broody"
"Okay, I'll see you at lunch practice then" Brooke nodded and went back to her routine while Lucas left the gym smiling.
Rachel walked down the corridor and was pulled into an empty classroom. She turned and saw Owen standing behind her. Rachel smiled "Wow now this is classy huh?"
"I needed to see you without the others" Owen pulled Rachel into him and started kissing her neck.
"So you pull me into a class room when anyone could walk in. Brooke could see us" Rachel pulled away from Owen and saw on the teacher's desk.
"Why won't you tell Brooke about us anyway?" Owen asked walking closer to Rachel
"There are no us. What we're doing here" Rachel pointed between herself and Owen "Is just fun. Friends with benefits"
"Then why don't you tell Brooke?" Owen pushed wanting to know why
"You're Alex's cousin and she would freak. Yeah she's okay with you being Alex's cousin, but for me to be sleeping with you is a no no Owen, so Brooke can never know" Rachel finally told Owen.
"Wait why would Brooke care?" Owen then looked at Rachel "OMG Brooke was the girl Alex was telling me about. Why did I not know?"
"I thought you did" Rachel lied
"Alex just told me she was a beautiful brunette with the sexiest dimples ever" Owen remembered that story "He then told me that he done something stupid which would ruin his relationship with her. He told me he slept with one of her bestfriend Claire"
Rachel nodded "Yeah" Owen then looked back at Rachel
"That's why she won't fully talk to me" Rachel nodded "She won't trust another member of his family after his sister knew about it and didn't tell her and that is why she mustn't know that" the door to the classroom opened then and Rachel turned to look at who it was and it was the one person she didn't want it to be. It was her sister Brooke.
"I mustn't know what?" Brooke asked looked between Owen and Rachel "Well Rach?"
"Brooke" Rachel began and then Brooke shook her head
"Please tell me that you weren't lying to me when you said you have been staying with Peyton or Haley" Brooke then saw the look in her sisters eyes "OMG" Brooke turned around and walked back out. Rachel jumped down from the desk and followed her sister.
Brooke walked to her locker and just stood there for a moment until she saw Rachel walking towards with tears in her eyes. Brooke put her combination in and opened her locker putting her books in it as Rachel stopped in front of her.
"Listen to me please Brooke" Rachel muttered and Brooke shook her head
"No Rach I will not. I have just made nice with Luke again and then I get hurt all over again and by you. My own sister" Brooke was in the verge of tears "I can handle being hurt by Alex, Chris, Julian and then Lucas, but not by you. I never thought you would hurt me" Brooke shut her locker and walked away from Rachel.
Lunch time came. Brooke has been avoiding everyone especially her sister and Owen who she didn't really talk to anyway. All the cheerleaders and basketball players where in the gym. The basketball team were practicing while the cheer squad waited for Brooke. The double doors opened and in walked Brooke. She wore red sweatpants and a red tank top with her new red pumps. Brooke walked over to her squad. She felt eyes burning into her and looked over to see Lucas smiling at her. Brooke gave him a quick wink before stopping.
"Okay girl's positions" Brooke instructed "Since you've all done pretty well. We don't need to have any more practices until Saturday when we get to Charleston so I will call one more practice tonight and then no more until Saturday" Brooke told her squad.
The squad did the routine like they have been the past few days and Brooke was really proud of them. Brooke was all smiles thinking how they were going to kick some ass at the half time show on Saturday. It had been 35 minutes into lunch and Brooke decided to give them a 10 minute break "Take 10 everyone" Brooke announced and the squad took the break.
Brooke went over to Peyton and Haley who weren't with Rachel which was a good thing. They smiled as they saw Brooke walk over to them "Hey girlies" Brooke approached them.
"Hey Brooke, it's been what 2 days since we last spoke" Peyton smiled
"Yeah" Brooke nodded "How about you two come over tonight for a sleepover thing?" Brooke suggested.
"Yeah sounds good" Peyton and Haley nodded
"Say about 6"
"Okay sounds good" Haley nodded
"So I've been meaning to ask you" Peyton changed the subject "Are you and Lucas together?"
Brooke "Yeah we are"
"Since when" Haley questioned
"Yesterday" Brooke answered smiling
"Wow and we didn't know why missy?" Haley laughed
"Because we had a little miss encounter, but where okay now" Brooke replied feeling guilty that she didn't say anything to them.
"That's good then" Peyton joined in and Brooke nodded with a smile and then Brooke heard a voice from behind her.
"Can I talk to you please?" Brooke turned around and saw Rachel standing there
"No not really" Brooke responded circling her and walking over to the other side
"Please Brooke" Rachel pleaded as she turned around and saw Brooke stop.
"Remember when we were five Rachel" Brooke started
Flashback
Brooke was six and so was Rachel. The night before Christmas Shelly and Lesley were wrapping up the last of the presents for the two excited girls that were sleeping up stairs. The morning of Christmas day approached, Brooke was out of bed first running down the stairs as Rachel followed her a few minutes later. Shelly and Lesley were woken when they heard Brooke calling for them.
"Mommy, Daddy" Brooke yelled "IT'S CHRIISSSTTTMMAAASSS"
"Okay Brooke honeys were coming" Shelly called back. Her and Lesley walked down the stairs and smiled when they saw Brooke and Rachel sitting beside the tree waiting for their presents.
"Please can we open them now?" Brooke was not the patient type. Lesley and Shelly nodded as they passed a present to Rachel and Brooke.
Brooke sat there opening he present. She tore the wrapping paper off quickly and was sat astonished at the doll she was looking at. It looked just like the one she wanted. It was china doll Brooke had been going on about for the past 6 months from when she saw it in the shop window. It had black braided hair, a red and white floaty dress with different patterns on it. It wasn't like those scary china dolls. It was sweet and looked beautiful. Brooke fell in love with it the moment she tore the paper from it.
"I shall name her Megan" Brooke whispered to herself. She held it tight "Thank you Daddy and Mommy" Brooke got up and hugged her parents "It's the best ever"
"Your welcome darling" Lesley smiled when he saw his little girl light up "Take good care of her Brookie, it was the last one in the shop" Brooke smiled and then held the doll for dear life not wanting to break it.
Rachel opened present after present and it was never there. The doll she asked for wasn't there. Rachel looked over at Brooke and a hint of jealous hit the little girl hard. She never got the china doll she asked for "Where's my doll?" Rachel asked her parents.
"I'm sorry baby girl, they didn't have any more of the one you asked for" Lesley told a very disappointed Rachel
Rachel walked out of the room and too her bedroom. Christmas day wasn't the best that year and Rachel didn't say a word all day except thank for her presents.
Brooke placed her doll on her wardrobe where it would break. 2 weeks later Brooke had ballet practice, her dad took her while Shelly stayed home with Rachel. Rachel wondered into Brooke's room and spotted the perfect doll in the corner on the wardrobe. Rachel climbed up and grabbed it. She looked down at it and then smashed it there and then. Rachel had broken Brooke's doll. The doll Brooke loved more than anything. Rachel placed the doll in Brooke's bed and ran out the room shutting the door behind her.
That night Brooke got ready for bed. She kissed her parents and sister good night and brushed her teeth. Once she was ready she walked into her room and pulled back the covers to see her smashed doll lying there. Brooke picked up the pieces as a single tear rolled down her face. Then Brooke screamed. Lesley and Shelly ran into Brooke's room seeing the little six year old girl curled up in the corner of her room. The lights were off until Shelly switched them on. Brooke was holding the pieces in her hand. Lesley covered his mouth in shock and so did Shelly. Shelly walked over to Brooke and pulled her into her arms. Lesley then turned around and saw Rachel looking guilty. Brooke looked up and saw her sister standing there. That was the moment Brooke knew her sister did it.
End of flashback
Brooke had tears burning in her eyes. She didn't want them to fall even though she couldn't control the "You smashed it up and then put it in my bed and when I found it my heart was crushed. I loved that doll, we were only 6 and you ruined it. I forgave you for it Rach because I loved you no matter what" Brooke had tears in her eyes "You were the one that protected me from hurt, but this time you caused it when you promised you would never hurt me again" Brooke looked around the gym and everyone's eyes were on her and Rachel. No one has ever seen Rachel and Brooke argue.
"Brooke yeah I was jealous because you got the one thing you wanted for Christmas when I wanted the one I asked for and I didn't get it, but that was long time ago. This is now and I'm sorry. I didn't mean to hurt you. I didn't want you to find out" Rachel responded and Brooke laughed sarcastically.
"You didn't want me finding out well guess what Rach I did by walking in on the little convo you two were having. How do you think it felt walking in on you and my ex's cousin talking about me and Alex?" Brooke asked livid "You're my fucking sister Rachel"
"I'm sorry" Rachel had tears rolling down her face "I like him though Brooke. I tried not to, but I do and I can't help it"
Brooke stood there looking back at her sister. Everyone was still looking at them and it killed Brooke to be this mad her sister and it killed Rachel to have Brooke hate her right now. Brooke didn't care that Rachel and Owen were having sex, okay maybe she was, but what hurt her more is that she had to lie about it and too her face too "That's good for you Rachel. You can like whoever you want, but lying about it sucks even more" Brooke choked in the sob she tried to hold back "I didn't lie to you when I began to date Lucas; I didn't lie to you when I dated all the other guys either. Your my sister and you was always the first one I told my secrets too, but I guess I'm not for you" Brooke then turned to her squad "Practice is over. See you girls after school" With that Brooke picked up her bag and headed out the gym with Lucas running after her since he finished practice 5 minutes ago.
Brooke sped walked out of the gym and just wanted to go home, but she knew that she couldn't do that. She had to stay and finish school like everyone else. Lucas ran after her, but Brooke didn't realise it until he grabbed her by the arm and spun her around to look at him. He then crashed his lips onto hers. Brooke was going to pull away, but she needed this and she loved kissing Lucas too.
"What was that for?" Brooke asked as they pulled apart
"Well you were upset and I wanted to cheer my girlfriend up because I don't like seeing you crying" Lucas answered
"Thanks" Brooke smiled up at him
"So what did Rachel do that was so bad?" Lucas asked
"She has been sleeping with Owen and lying about it" Brooke told Lucas who listened to her "I don't care much about them sleeping together; it's the whole lying about it"
"I know that feeling Brooke" Lucas nodded "Two years ago Nathan was sitting this girl Nikki and she happened to be Britney's sister and he lied about it to me and I was so mad and pissed at him, but we got passed it"
"I want to get pass it Luke I do, but she's my sister and she lied to me" Brooke cried and Lucas wiped the tears from Brooke's eyes.
"It will take time" Lucas assures her and Brooke nodded leaning in and kissed Brooke again softly on the lips.
Brooke decided to cancel practice for after school and so did whitey which everyone loved. Hanna sent Julian a texted after he gave her his number during English class. She told him that she will meet him by his car and they can go to the cafe for something to eat like they arranged earlier. Hanna stood by the car waiting for Julian to arrive. When she saw him walking her way she felt her cheeks begin to get hot.
"Hey you?" Hanna said as she walked up to Julian
"Hey sexy" Julian smiled as he approached her
"So how about we head out then?" Hanna suggested and Julian nodded. He opened the car door for Hanna to get in. She loved being treated like this; no one has treated her like that for a while.
Julian walked around the front of the car to get into the driver's seat. They were on their way to the cafe. Hanna sat there silent. She didn't know why she wasn't speaking, but she wasn't. She looked over at Julian and smiled "Are you spicy?" she asked randomly, but Hanna was a random girl so it really didn't matter.
Julian looked at her and raised an eye brow "That was really random, but why?"
"Because you're hot" Hanna replied with a smile and he laughed which made her giggle a little.
"That was really cheesy, but cute" Julian said sweetly and Hanna blushed again.
"Thanks" Hanna then looked out of the window again and they became silent once again.
Brooke was sitting in her room with Lucas lying on her bed. She was tiding up for the sleepover she was having later. Lucas was sat on her bed with his laptop he went home to get. Brooke looked at him and smiled and then he looked at her and they caught each other's eyes. Brooke walked over to her bed and sat down on the edge. Lucas was typing someone, but Brooke didn't know what it was.
"Hey Pretty Girl?" Lucas turned to Brooke "What do you want to do after high school?"
"Go college" Brooke answered like it was an obvious answer she would give.
"Yeah me too. What do you plan on doing at college?" Lucas asked
"Fashion. I want to own a company. I have been working on some designs. For example some of the cloths I wear to school I design" Brooke responded "What about you Broody?"
"Well I wanted to go pro basketball star, but I was thinking I'm going to take English lit because I want to publish a book someday" Lucas responded shocking Brooke.
"Really a book?" Brooke moved closer to Lucas.
"Yeah, I want to be a bestselling author" Lucas nodded
"Sounds amazing Luke" Brooke leaned in a kissed him.
"So any idea's what you want to call your company?" Lucas asked
"Well when I was heartbroken by Julian I started designing clothes" Brooke told Lucas getting up from her bed, she walked over to her closet and pulled out a hoodie "I designed this"
"Clothes over Bro's" Lucas read
"Yep that is what I'm going to call my company and that is going to be the logo" Brooke said pointing to the logo on her bedroom wall.
"You're really talented Brooke" Lucas pulled Brooke into his lap
"Thanks boyfriend" Brooke smiled as she leaned in and kissed Lucas softly on the lips.
