My hands are searching for you, My arms are outstretched towards you, I feel you on my fingertips, My tongue dances behind my lips for you, This fire rising through my being, Burning I'm not used to seeing you, I'm alive, I can feel you all around me, Thickening the air I'm breathing, Holding on to what I'm feeling, Savouring this heart that's healing.

I drove quickly through the deserted streets trying to get to my destinations as soon as possible. If I knew Brooke, she would most likely be dealing with her problems by getting wasted at some bar and meeting some random guy to make her feel better. For now that is. I knew she was better than this though, well plus I didn't want her to be touched by anyone else...but that's beside the point. I could just tell that she needed me right now and I wasn't about to let any opportunity to be close to Brooke pass me by. I pulled up to a bar that we had gone to together a couple times. I walked up to the door and walked inside. I scanned the room for Brooke. I found her in the far corner by the bar...with a guy.

I had to push my way through the crowd of people to get to her. I was close enough to hear the conversation that Brooke and the random guy were having. Just thinking of what was probably going through his mind made my blood boil. All I wanted to do was beat the shit out of this guy now and I was really hoping he would give me a chance.

"You want to go back to my place?" I heard him say. I could tell he was trying to seem cool. I just stood behind them for a moment...surveying the scene I guess you could say before I made my next move. I watched Brooke closely. She was barely even conscious. She was holding her head up with her hand and her eyes were almost closed. I couldn't believe that he was even trying to get her to come home with him. First off he would have to carry her the entire way and second she would probably be passed out by the time they got back to his place. She quietly moaned trying to speak, but it wasn't coming out in English by any means. The guy took his hand and put Brooke's hair behind her ear. This made me even angrier and I was restraining myself from punching the guy.

"Come on...I'll help you up. Let's go back to my place now." He said slurring his words. He had been drinking as well. He was planning on driving drunk with my friend? I don't think so. He pulled her to a standing position and walked right into me.

"Excuse me?" I said in a very bitchy tone. I could feel my rage overcoming me.

"Get out of our way." He said. I tried to hold myself back, but I couldn't do it any longer.

"No...Not until you give me my friend...Now!" I said in a serious tone. He just looked at me and rolled his eyes as he laugh. He then tried to push past me anyways. I grabbed him by his jacket and got right in his face.

"I'm not leaving here without her. Now give her to me now or else." I said making sure not to let go of my tight grip. He let go a Brooke and she almost fell over. I quickly grabbed her and held her up. I just stared at the guy as he scoffed, shook his head, and walked away silently. I grabbed Brooke's arms and wrapped them around my neck as I held her up by her waist. He head fell into the crook of my neck. The heart from her steady breathing made me weak in the knees, but I fought the feeling.

We walked out of the club and I carefully put her into the car. I starred at her beauty for a moment and the feeling of wanting her got the better of me. I leaned down slowly and placed my lips on her forehead. I figured just in case she came to I would be able to explain it easier. As my lips rested on her satin skin, I realized that it was more than I had ever thought possible. I couldn't even image what it would be like to kiss her lips. Although I was tempted I knew I would be pushing my luck. The heat overcame me and I was craving more and I immediately pulled back to see if there was any reaction. She opened her eyes for a moment, but then closed them. She seemed to have a smile on her face, just enough to see her adorable dimples for a moment. I smiled then proceeded to put her seatbelt on and closed the door quietly.

I couldn't get the stupid grin off of my face. I had kissed Brooke Davis. Well I guess not really, but I'd like to tell myself that it counts. I decided that I didn't want to go home right away so I drove to the river court. A couple of the guys from the river court were playing a game. I wasn't really that interested, but I didn't feel like going home at the moment. I watched them for about forty minutes and finally got bored of it. So I set off back to our house.

Every few minutes I would look at her to make sure that she was alright. It seemed that she was sobering up a bit because she had her eyes open and was sitting silently looking out the window. I was really curious why this was. If only I could know what she was thinking. We pulled up to the house, but Brooke didn't move. I looked at her for a moment. She had a look of confusion on her face, but it quickly changed to hurt. I knew why she was hurting, but I didn't want to bring it up unless she wanted to talk about it. I got out of the car and walked to her side and opened the door. She had already taking her seatbelt off, so I decided to just put my hand out to help her get out. She lightly touched my hand, but we both pulled away quickly because of a huge shock. She just put her head back on the seat and mumbles something in an inaudible dialect.

Instead of waiting for her to take my hand this time I just grabbed it and pulled her out of the car. She seemed surprised, but didn't fight me. She put her one arm around my shoulder to help her keep her balance. We got into the house and I brought her straight to the bedroom. I brought her over to the bed and she sat right down.

"Is there anything I can get for you Brooke?" I said quietly. She looked so sad. I could tell that she was fighting back her emotions. She always tried to be strong no matter what. She couldn't even talk. She just shook her head no. I crawled over so that we were both resting against the backboard of her bed and I put my arm around her. She immediately burst into tears as she pushed herself into me. I took my other arm and wrapped it around her tightly. I sat there in silence waiting for her to be ready to talk to me. She thought that I didn't know what was going on. I was kind of glad that she was taking her time. It gave me more time to think of something good to say. After what seemed like forever; although I didn't mind because I could sit here holding Brooke forever she finally started to speak.

"I just can't believe that it happened again. I can't believe that they would do this to me...again." she said in a quiet voice. I darned not let go of her for fear that I would never get the chance again. I still didn't speak, I only held on to her tighter, making sure there was no space between us. It seemed to be settling her down. "I wish that I had never allowed myself to fall in love again. All it does is end up being horrible." She said softy, her face still in the crook of my neck. Every time she spoke it sent shivers down my spine.

"Love doesn't always end up in heartbreak." I said in a low voice. I was more trying to convince myself of this. I don't think I could ever take not have Brooke in my life. I would never let anything jeopardize my friendship with her.

"Name one instance where love hasn't ended in heart break." She said in a more serious voice. I searched my mind trying desperately to find at least one, but nothing was coming to mind.

"Well maybe that love just hasn't come around yet, but it will. You just have to believe it yourself." I said thinking to myself that I would always love her no matter what and there was nothing that could ever change that.

"Yeah...I'll believe that when I see it." She said in a sarcastic voice. She had finally stopped bawling and was only tearing up.

"I love you Brooke you're my best friend." I said in a serious face, wishing that I could have stopped at Brooke. She looked up at me a smiled. Her smiled made me melt and without thinking I slowly bent down. Our mouths were less than an inch away. My mind was racing me telling me to go and to pull back. Brooke was still drunk. She may not be passed out, but it just isn't fair. The only good sign about this was that she hadn't pulled away from me...yet. My body was screaming for me to just do it. My body had taken control; my screaming thoughts were now ignored and I leaned in even closer to her. Now there couldn't be more than a centimetre.

"What are you doing?" She said quietly, still not pulling away. Her hot breath hitting my face leaving me no choice in what I was going to do next. I bit my lip for a split second and made up my mind. I eliminated the space between us and softly kissed Brooke. When our lips finally met it was like the entire world disappeared and we were the only ones left. The electricity was coursing through my body and I craved more. I lifted my hand up to her cheek and pulled her closer me. My mind was racing thinking that I was finally doing it and Brooke hadn't pulled away. After a moment I felt Brooke's lips part slightly. She wanted more and I could tell. I didn't waste any time thinking that she could click back into reality at any moment. I deepened the kiss and she allowed me to.

The reality came back to her all too quickly. She pulled away and just stared at me for a moment. I couldn't read her expression...scared...confused...mad...oh how I wish that could read her mind. She cleared her throat and looked away from me like she was embarrassed or something. I gave her a confused look. She slowly made some space between us. I could tell just from that that I had made a mistake. If she wasn't sober before, she sure was now. I was scared and excited all at the same time. There was so much emotion in the room. I knew something big was about to happen I just didn't know which direction it was headed. With my luck though, it was probably headed towards a disaster.

"Wow...umm...I don't know what to say...what was that?" Brooke asked trying to stay calm but was having no such luck. I needed to know what she was thinking. I was pretty sure that she was freaking out. I know I was, but for a different reason. She kissed me back. That was all that was on my mind. I was in shock, but I was overcome with happiness. All of a sudden I didn't care that she was about to freak out about it and want to pretend that it didn't happen. I had finally kissed Brooke Davis. I couldn't help but to smile at this thought. I then brought all my attention back to Brooke who was looking more and more confused by the second.

"What do you mean...you didn't seem to mind while it was happening." I said in a serious tone. I could see her falling apart before my eyes. She had no idea how to react. It seemed like she was torn or something. She was creating more and more space between us. I could feel my heart being ripped from my chest more and more with every inch she moved away. Soon she was off of her own bed and standing looking down at me. This made me feel insanely small and I did not like the feeling one bit. I quickly stood up, so now I was taller than Brooke. I think I may have moved to fast because she jumped as I got up. I was just about to speak, but she beat me to it.

"I think I am going to go and sleep in the other bedroom tonight." She said in a serious tone. She immediately turned around and left the room.

"Brooke!" I called, but she didn't return. I went over to my bed and crawled in. Within moments I was in a deep sleep because iwas so exhausted for the drama of the day.

---------

I heard the door creak open, but I didn't open my eyes. I just lay in bed silently...waiting. I felt Brooke crawl onto the bed. She lay down beside be and began to stroke my hair. After a moment I turned around to face her. There was a fire in her eyes. She had an intensity that seemed to be burning inside of her. She then lifted up her hard and caressed my face, tracing lines in my face with her fingers. I smiled but did not pull away. This is what I had wanted and there was no way I was pulling away. She placed two soft but quick kisses on my mouth and lingered on the third. I grew light headed on the warm, overwhelming scent of Brooke's skin, the silkiness of a her skin so close to mine. It sent shivers up and down my spine uncontrollably. She breathed deep, and on the exhale, the tip of her tongue brushed against my top lip.

I had been still until now, trying to give her room to explore, but the fluttering touch of her tongue excited me to take action. I had to taste more, immediately. I then let my hand explore then grabbing the bottom of her shirt and ripping it off without warning. I could only stare for a moment at the beauty that was before me. Soon she had got impatient with me staring so she grabbed my shirt as well and ripped it off. She tossed it aside leaving soft kisses from my hips, to my stomach, to my breasts, to my neck, then finally to what I craved most. Our lips crashed together as we were both losing control.

I moved my right hand to her waist, drawing her closer. I took control, sliding my tongue against her revelling in the taste, pressing my mouth, against her body, the fire of desire igniting to a blaze as the heat of our bodies intensified, thighs sliding against each other. The feeling was so unreal. The softness overcame me as I moaned grabbing her a pulling her in for a passionate kiss. After that she had lost any semblance of control. Her arms went around my neck, a hand burying itself in my silky hair, keeping the red heads gorgeous, delicious mouth pressed to hers. I stroked the roof of her mouth with my tongue, a smooth persistent rhythm that resonated throughout her body.

A pillow suddenly hit my head and I awoke with a jerk. I groaned so loudly that the next door neighbours most likely had heard me.

"Damn it!" I yelled. I slowly opened my eyes to see Brooke packing her suit case. Panic ran through me. I didn't want her to leave. She couldn't leave. I wouldn't allow it.

"What are you doing!?!" I exclaimed demanding and explanation.

"Well... just in case you forgot we do have the classic tomorrow and we are staying at a hotel tonight. So I need to pack a bag to go. We're supposed to be at the school in an hour. So hurry up and get ready so we can go." She said in a serious voice before leaving the room. I sat up in my bed as I felt the panic melt away. She wasn't leaving. I smiled...maybe a little too big, but I didn't care. I jumped out of bed and got my bag ready for the classic tomorrow. Within twenty minutes I was out my bedroom door and heading downstairs. I could only imagine what today had in store for us. I can only hope it's not a disaster.

Well there you have it...let me know what you think...Review please!
