Here it is ladies and gents, or maybe just ladies? I don't know the gender of whom reads lesbian love stories. The formal is here! I'm sure you know this, but the formal is pretty much like prom. I own nothing.

Rachel's Pov

I finally got my car back. Bevin was pissed at me, but I didn't really care. We weren't really friends to start with. I just used her to win the cheerleading team over. I loved how I got under Brooke's skin back then. She hated me so much, and I found that so hot. I'm pretty messed up. I laugh to myself and continued getting ready for the formal. I was going with Mouth. Brooke still with Lucas. She's at Peyton's right now, getting ready. Mouth should be here any mintue…

Ding-Dong

And Mouth arrived. We drove in silence to the dance. I didn't want to speak. I knew that seeing Lucas with the girl I loved will be hard.

Entering the gym, I instantly made eye contact with Peyton, who nudged Brooke. Brooke and I made eye contact and we both smiled widely at each other. Good, she wasn't with Lucas right now. I walked over to the two best friends. As I reached them, Peyton whispered something to Brooke that made her blush. I felt slightly jealous seeing Peyton that close to Brooke, but it was quickly washed away as Peyton walked towards the ladies room.

"Heyy, Rookie" I said happily. "You look beautiful. I always told you that red was your color". It really was. Brooke looked great in any color, but red definitely topped them. Brooke blushed at my comment and replied with "Thanks, you look great too Rach." I noticed how her eyes trailed my body. This intrigued me. "Well, if you like what you see, maybe we can go back to my car.." I winked flirtatiously at her. Brooke rolled her eyes and gently shoved me "Shut up". She smiled at me, her eyes were so tantalizing. I'm glad we can still be friends after I told her I liked girls.

I reached my hand out "A dance for your roomate?" I questioned. She nodded, and took placed her hand upon mind. The sparks. My stomach fluttered, my chest felt hot. I lead the girl of my dreams out on the dance floor.

We were having a great time, dancing to fast beat songs. Everyone around us was dancing with their best friends, too. It surprised no one to see Brooke and I dancing together like this. Everyone knew we had a friendship. Tree Hill was a small town after all, everyone knew everyone's business.

The fast beat music stopped and a slow song came on. Gravity by Sara Bareilles. Brooke started to step away from me. No! not yet. I reached for her hand and pulled her back. She smiled, good sign.

In the space between what's wrong and right you will find me waiting for you.

All your fortresses go down in the night to the dawn I'll see you through.

Cause I know, that you know, you're all over me now.

And it's clear, it will show, your curtains will close.

But if your heart is cold, my sheets are warm.

I will shelter you through the storm.

I will shelter you all through the storm

This song was perfect. It had exactly what I felt for her. I wanted to protect her. Her heart was broken, she needed someone to love her. I could love her. I did love her. I wrapped my arms around her waist and she wrapped her arms around my neck. Our eyes connected, and our gaze intensified.

The answers aren't so easy to find, the questions will have to do.

'Cause I've lost myself deep in your life, my only fix is you.

She looked so beautiful tonight. I knew my eyes had to be telling her my deep secret. Being this close to her, holding her like this, it was everything to me. I knew everyone thought I was a bitch. I was. Except with Brooke. She was my angel. She made me better.

'Cause I know, that you know, you're all over me now.

And it's clear, it will show, your curtains will close.

But if your heart is cold, my sheets are warm.

I will shelter you through the storm.

I will shelter you all through the storm.

I would do anything for this girl. Anything. All she had to do was ask, and I would be there. Her green eyes buried into my hazel ones. This was perfect. Our bodies swayed in perfect rhythm. It felt like we were the only two in the room.

Saying what I am, what we are, it's a start towards the truth.

Taking my breath with each day, all I can stand in my heart it's you.

I pulled her closer to me. I wanted to show her what this song meant to me. What she meant to me. She was my addiction. Everything about her was magnetizing. Her beautiful green eyes, the way her eyes fluttered when she was upset, her thin pink lips. Those lips, I wanted so dearly to kiss them.

In the space between what's wrong and right,

You will find me waiting for you…

The song ended. We stopped dancing, but I held her gaze. Her eyes seemed to be mirroring mine. A smile tugged at her lips. My heart fluttered. "Brooke" I whispered so quietly that if we weren't holding each other so close, she wouldn't have heard. "Brooke, I-"

My confession was cut off by the principal. He was on stage now "Ladies and gentleman! It is time to announce the king and queen!" He took a few moments to pull out results from his envelope. "Brooke Davis and Lucas Scott!" The room roared with applauses and whistles. I let Brooke go the second her name came out of the principal's mouth. She glanced back and me, an expression on her face that I couldn't quite place.

Lucas had found her in the crowd by now, he took her by the hand and pulled her from me. They went on stage and accepted their crowns. Brooke must have still been in shock because her face was running through so many emotions that I could hardly tell them apart. The principal declared that the king and queen were to dance.

Brooke and Lucas walked out into the middle of the dance floor. Lucas pulled her in tightly, I couldn't stand to look at the scene unfold before me. My Brooke, was dancing with Lucas. I stood in the crowd, watching just like everyone else… only difference is that my heart was breaking. Her eyes met mine, I gathered my last bit of strength to smile at her. I held her gaze for a few seconds till something happened to make my heart break completely. Lucas must have said something to her because her eyes left mine and fell on to his. A split second later, they were kissing. I don't know if he kissed her, or if she kissed him. Either way, Brooke's lips weren't on mine. I felt completely broken. I could feel my eyes burn, tears threatening to fall. My heart started to ache, my stomach twisted in painful knots. This was the worse moment of my life. I couldn't take it anymore. I had to leave.

So I did. I got my jacket, and left. Without a goodbye.

And, that is that. Comments?
