Alright, so I'm back to one chapter being Rachel and one being Brooke. (: I own nothing!

Rachel's pov. (1st person)

I awoke in the morning. The sun came in as it rose high in the sky, man I hate whoever left my curtains pulled back. My head was spinning. God, how much did I drink last night? I glance over to see water and aspirin sitting on my nightstand. I take them, and although my head was still spinning… I HAD TO PEE! I stumbled to the bathroom as quickly as I could.

After cleaning myself up, I wandered into Brooke's room. I wonder what she did last night. Brooke was spiraled out on her bed. Most beautiful site I've ever seen. Her curly locks were laying in sparse places on her pillow and face. Pure perfection. I slowly made my way over to her bed. As I sat down on the edge of her bed, her eyes fluttered open. "Hey." I whispered.

She smiled widely "hey you" she said, her voice more raspy than normal. It was so sexy. "How are you feeling?" she asked me. I smiled, she must have been the one to take care of me last night. "like a house landed on my head" I admitted "Did you take care of me last night? You are such a wonderful friend, Brooke" I smiled at her.

She seemed hesitate in smiling back "You don't remember?" she asked. Remember what? I was confused. Did I do something stupid?

"You don't remember anything from last night?" she asked, slowly. I shook my head "No, but from this headache, I know I was crazy smashed" I laughed, hoping she would laugh to, but when I didn't hear another laugh join me, I stopped.

Brooke had this look in her eyes, I couldn't quite place what it was.. Sadness? But why? "I didn't do anything stupid, did I?" I questioned, fearing the answer.

After a moment, Brooke shook her head "No! of course not. I wouldn't let you do something so stupid" she assured me while giving me a cute dimple smile.

We sat there, smiling at each other, until we were interrupted by a cell phone going off. Brooke broke eye contact with me to reach over and retrieve her phone. "It's Luke" she mumbled, picking it up without hesitation. "hello?"

I got off the bed and walked around her room, like I've done countless times. This time was different though, I was wandering so I wouldn't hear her flirting with Lucas. The thought of them going to the formal together sickened me. My stomach turned as I heard her giggle into the phone. "Sure, Luke." she said. I made my way back over to her after hearing her tell him good bye. Good, I hated that he called her while she was with me. We don't get alone time often.. At least not lately..

I sat on her bed and looked at her with a weak smile. "What'd he want?" I asked, not really caring for an answer.

Brooke tucked her hair behind her ear, and bit her lip nervously "Oh, nothing.. Just wanted to talk about plans for the formal…" her voice dropped slightly as she said her next words.. "He's taking me to the formal, you know…" she said, her eyes looking down at the pillow in her lap.

I nodded, feeling my stomach clench "Yeahh, Peyton said something about it yesterday" I responded. She nodded and it was silent in her room for a while.. I stole quick glances at Brooke, but she wouldn't look up from the pillow. Finally, I stood up off the bed "Any plans for the day?" I asked.

She shrugged in response "Lucas asked if I wanted to hang.." she said, slowly. I could feel her eyes on me. She was watching me. I knew it. "Cool, cool" I responded heading towards her door. I needed to get away from her. My heart was fluttering so bad I could hardly breath. "what about you?" she asked quickly.

"Going to see Mouth" I yelled over my shoulder. "I'll see you later, Rookie". And with that I went to shower. I felt disgusting, and I needed to wash away the thoughts of her a Lucas dancing… touching.. Kissing..

So what do you think? I realize that Brooke/ Rachel don't really have any cute couple nicknames. I'm slowly becoming a Brooke/ Haley fan. (; But I still love BRACHEL!
