Another chapter to my Brachel (: I added one to my Baley, too. I do not own a darn thing :(
Brooke's pov.
I pushed him back. Lucas had kissed me. I pushed him away the second his lips grazed mine. "I can't do this with you" I said, as my eyes went back to where I last saw Rachel. She was gone.
"Why not?" Lucas asked. His was voice deep; nothing compared Rachel's. My mind went back to the last moment. The moment where Rachel's eyes were so soft, and her voice came out so soft. It was if the slightest thing could break her. I don't think I've ever seen the redhead so vulnerable. What was she going to tell me?
"I don't feel the same way about you. " I explained, as I stepped back from his embrace " I haven't for a long time" I confessed, my eyes scanning the crowd desperately looking for my roommate. Lucas mumbled some words about how he loved me, and how it wasn't right for me to lead him on. I caught Peyton's eyes. My eyes pleaded to hers, asking where Rachel was. Peyton shook her head sadly, and mouth to me "She's gone". Gone? Gone where? I looked back at Lucas "I'm sorry Luke." I really was sorry to lead him on. I turned and left him in the middle of the dance floor and went over to Peyton. My heart was aching, that dance was so intense. They way Rachel was looking at me; it was like she was singing to me.
Peyton hugged me tightly; she knew what I was feeling. I told her about what happened while I danced with Rachel. She told me how it looked like something intense, but beautiful, was happening. I smiled; Peyton knew exactly what to say to make me feel better. I spotted Mouth; Rachel and he attended the formal together. He would know where she went.
"Hey Mouth" I said as I stood beside him by the wall. "Do you know where Rachel went off to?" I questioned.
Mouth shrugged. "Honestly. I haven't seen her since we arrived. I thought she was with you." Gigi came up behind him and he held her hand. I glanced between the two of them. "Gigi, when did you get back?" I asked, obviously confused at the couple holding hands.
"I just got here before you and Lucas won" she said smiling at Mouth, who returned it. I pulled Mouth away "Sorry, Gigi, I need to borrow him for a second". I walked with him over to the punch bowl. "Mouth, why are you with Gigi? I thought Rachel was your date" I said; I was angry at him for losing sight of her. Mouth shrugged "You seemed perfectly fine when you two were together. Besides, Rachel only asked me because she felt guilty that Gigi wasn't going to be here" he confessed glancing back Gigi.
I frowned. Rachel really was a good person. She must have felt so alone. I was here with Luke, and Mouth here with Gigi. I nodded to him as he left me and walked back over to Gigi.
I said goodbye to Peyton and left quickly. I had to make sure Rachel was okay.
I arrived at home to find Rachel in the sexiest Pajamas ever. She had short-short booty shorts on and a formfitting, yet loose, tank top on. She was painted her toe nails, silently. She looked like she had something important on her mind. "Hey." I whispered, letting my presence be known. She glanced up at me; her eyes were nothing like before when we dance. Now, they were clouded, black, and emotionless. It scared me. "Heyyy." she said back to me, her eyes going back to her toes.
I guess she was okay. I mean, she didn't look like she was crying or anything. I went upstairs and took a shower to clean myself off. I cleaned the thoughts of Lucas off me. Finally, I cleaned the wishes and desires of Rachel and what I thought our dance meant. My insecurities took the best of me as a watched my dreams wash down the drain. She doesn't want me; she never wanted me in that way. Just because she likes girls, doesn't mean she liked you, my inner voice told me.
I'm sorry it is so darn short. I'm just a tease. hahahhh.
