I don't know if anyone notice that my last update for this story seemed a bit jumbled. That's my fault. I added the wrong chapter in slot 15. This is the right Chapter. Enjoy if anyone is still following me (:
I own nothing
Rachel's pov.
I heard her start the shower. I let out a sigh that I had been holding in ever since she walked into the house. My eyes were raw. I cried all the way home. I had applied a slight bit of makeup to take away the result of the tears, so she didn't know. I didn't want Brooke to know how much that kiss I witnessed broke me. I didn't want to ruin her happiness. She was indeed my everything, but I wanted her to be happy…. I wanted her to be happy, even if it wasn't with me.
Brooke soon came out the bathroom and joined me on the couch. I smiled at her, it was one of the hardest things I've had to do all night. She tried multiple times to start a conversation with me. I just didn't have the energy to try with her. I was tired from crying. "I'm going to bed. I feel sick" I mumbled getting up and leaving her downstairs. It wasn't easy, leaving Brooke behind like that. It was something that had to be done. She would never feel the pain that I felt tonight seeing her kiss Lucas.
They are no doubt a couple now. Why wouldn't they be? I laid down in bed and tried desperately to sleep. I heard Brooke make her way upstairs. I held my breath as she stopped by my door. Please, Please don't come in, I silently begged. My pleads were answered when I heard her door at the end of the hall shut. Shortly, the house was silent. I assumed she fell asleep… so I drifted off as well…
A couple hours later, I was awoken by my name being whispered. I blinked a couple times and saw Brooke on the edge of my bed. It was actually my couch. I had my bed taken away after I- almost had sex with Bevin. Not one of my best moments, I admit. I ordered a new one, but until it came, I will be sleeping on the love seat in my room. "what's wrong?" I asked. I couldn't see her in the dark, but I sensed something was wrong. "Can I…. Can I sleep with you?" she whispered. Pleading me. Something was wrong. I couldn't deny her what she wanted. No matter how badly I didn't want to be around her, my need to be around her was stronger. I lifted up the blanket and she crawled in.
The couch was much to small for two bodies, but we made it work. I slept on my side with my arms around Brooke so she wouldn't fall. Brooke nuzzled up to my chest. Man, she was clingy at 3 in the morning. I slowly drifted back to sleep….
Brooke's Pov
The next morning I woke up. The smell of strawberries filled my nostrils. I felt the warmth of a body beside me. I stiffened and opened my eyes. It was Rachel. I glanced around. I was in her room. I must have came in here last night. I relaxed into her arms. Yeah, normal friends don't sleep like this. I didn't care, having Rachel's arms around me like this was heaven.
I glanced up at the beauty before me. Rachel's body slowly moved with her breaths. She was so beautiful. Anyone would be lucky to have her. My thoughts went back to the night I kissed her. The kiss was perfect. Even though alcohol was in my system, I was fully aware of what was going on. I wanted that kiss, and at the time, I thought she wanted it too. Then I found her with Bevin… She did say she didn't like Bevin… So who was it? Who does my gorgeous redhead want? I thought, I thought hard over the last few days with her. The way she looked at me while we danced. It meant something. It had to mean something.
Peyton mentioned to me before I left last night, that Rachel didn't look happy to see me onstage with Luke. Could that be what bothered her? Me with Lucas? I couldn't imagine why. She knows I don't like Lucas right? I thought back to last night, how hard it was to talk with her. With a sudden rush, I realized something. That look, her blacken eyes, it meant something. She looked broken. My Rachel was broken. I knew that look, it was the same way I looked when I saw Rachel and Bevin together.
Rachel stirred in her sleep. I snapped my eyes shut in fear that Rachel would catch me staring at her sleep. "mmmm, Brooke" I heard Rachel moan, under her breath, so quietly that if I wasn't already in close proximity I wouldn't have heard her.
Holy Jizz. Did she just moan my name? Oh my god, is she…. Is she having a sex dream about me. I big grin appeared on my face. I got so excited that I accidentally lost my balance and fell off the couch. This woke Rachel up, adnd she suddenly sat up.
"Sorry Rach" I mumbled from the floor "I awoke in a fright" I lied, smiling at her. I couldn't believe she was dreaming about me. It had to mean something. Rachel rubbed her eyes "Its okay Rookie" she said then laughed "You probably did yourself a favor by waking me up. I was having the most intense sex dream, I no doubt would have ended up humping you in my sleep" She stuck her tongue out at me.
I love that Rachel is a morning person. I smiled back at her. This was the Rachel that I knew and loved. Her eyes were back to their bright, beautiful self. I laughed. "Well, that is good news!" I declared. I was going to go along with her little game.
We both got up and got ready for school. I couldn't stop thinking about how she moaned my name in her sleep. I asked if her if she wanted to hang out tonight. She agreed and we planned to meet later on that night. I decided to go to Peyton's house for the day.
I was happy that I will get to spend alone time with Rachel, and I was also happy that I got a week free of school.
