Wow, it has been too long since I have updated. Just remember italics are flashbacks.
Disclaimer: Been awhile since I told everyone I own nothing. Still sort of sad…
"Brooke Davis, will you go to the dance with me?" Lucas smirked as we walked to his car with his arm slung around my shoulder.
"Hmm… now that is a question I wish I had a tape recorder for"
He rolled his eyes as I leaned against his car and he trapped me in. "Is that a yes or a no?"
I looked up to the sky in thought and bit on my bottom lip. "Maybe so. Someone better could come along"
Lucas snorted. "You can't get better than me"
"I can barely breathe with your ego taking all my oxygen"
"You're hilarious" He mocked leaning in to capture my lips when we heard a shout behind him.
"Luke, you gonna introduce me?" I looked over to see Felix making his way towards us so I put my hands on Lucas' chest and pushed him off me.
"Brooke Davis"
"Oh yeah I know I just don't like seeing my best friend getting any in front of me" Felix smiled playfully hitting Lucas in the shoulder.
"Thanks man"
"Oh trust me he won't be getting any" I told them bluntly making Felix laugh and Lucas glare.
"See I just don't see how Nathan doesn't like you. You are too funny" Felix said good naturedly making me smile at the compliment.
"Probably for the same reasons I don't like him."
"His over inflated ego?" Lucas grumbled.
"No, that's why I don't like you"
"You were fine with me ten seconds ago" He pouted crossing his arms like a small child and I stood in front of him with a small smile grabbing his face to look at me.
"Hi" I whispered up at him and his lips quirked up at the sides.
"Still here" Felix said from behind us and I turned to see Felix looking at Lucas with a weird look on his face before cutting his eyes over at me and letting out a sigh.
"Remember that thing we talked about Lucas. And nice to meet you Brooke" Felix smiled sticking his hand out towards me which I took before he went towards his car.
"Well he is nice" I turned back to Lucas to see his whole demeanor had changed. He looked angry and cold.
"Go to the dance with him" He growled and I laughed at him making him glare at me.
"You're jealous" I rolled my eyes while Lucas straightened himself and looked down at me.
"Don't be stupid Bob" He snapped and I looked confused at him for why he was being so rude and why he brought up that stupid name again when lately it seemed to be used less and less.
"What the hell is your problem?" I asked grabbing his arm and he flinched away.
"Nothing. I'm completely fine. Would you like me take you home?" He asked with trying to cover up the anger.
"No, not when you were fine five minutes ago and now your cringing at me touch" I snipped trying to make sure he didn't notice the hurt look on my face. He stared at where Felix was for a second, closing his eyes like he was having an inner battle with himself.
"Hey, look at me" I sighed grabbing the sides of his face and he slowly cracked open his eyes covering my hands with his own.
"Just let me take me home" He whispered and I nodded slowly getting into his car while he kept staring off to where the school was. He shook his head climbing into the driver's seat not saying another word to me which I didn't understand but didn't push.
"Bye" He said once we reached Rachel's house.
"Can you come in for a second. I need you to give something to Nathan to give to my mom?" I asked and he nodded after hesitation following me into the house.
"Hang on, they are in the kitchen" I walked into the kitchen grabbing the manila folder before walking back in, grabbing a sharpie off a nearby desk and writing 1463-1470 on it and handing it to him.
"Umm.. Tell him to tell her sorry it took so long"
"What is this?" He asked and I could tell he was slightly annoyed.
"Umm letters. 1470 days ago, things got really bad in my house. It was right before Dan left and he was such an ass. 13,000 dollars behind in child support. No job, he was just terrible. My mom was so hopeless on everything and I was gonna make it better. Every morning since then she gets a letter from me and for past week she hasn't gotten those letters and she needs to know I still care. Nathan won't mess with the letters that I know"
"You're telling me you have written your mom 1470 letters? That's like four years." He said looking at the folder then back at me.
"I am gonna make it better" I shrugged and he shook his head at me, "Yeah, most people think it is really weird but I mean I'm weird. I have gotten used to the stares when I talk about my mom or when I can't do a lab-" I watched the folder fall to the ground and Lucas pulls me into him crushing his lips on to mine.
I am personally shocked saying he seemed so annoyed with me but now here he is kissing me. Honestly though, nothing about Lucas and Brooke is normal.
He pulled away leaving me wanting more and leaned his forehead against mine. "I'm sorry"
"Why were you so aggravated?" I asked.
"I'm just not used to this and I just don't get why you're here with me. I'm not a good person and I hurt people and I am sorry" He whispered giving me a short peck before picking up the folder and leaving quickly leaving me even more confused than when he was angry.
Times like this you really need a sister…
I sat there as my leg bounced uncontrollably staring at my phone. Somehow I got her number. After many phone calls to many people I have Grey Simon's phone number. She really should be more careful to who she gives her number out to.
Apparently Grey still keeps in touch with my cousin who keeps in touch with my other cousin who keeps in touch with my aunt who keeps in touch with Cooper who I keep in touch with. For obvious reasons I would like to know what Jeremy did to get her phone number. Props to him.
But anyway, I have the number typed in and all I have to do is hit the green button and I will be connected to her. After three years I will talk to Grey and get her to help me.
Taking a deep breath I hit the button quickly and put the phone to my ear praying to anyone that will listen to answer.
"Hello?" I hear groggily said on the other end and I recognize the voice to be the guy that was on her TV show.
I am too shocked too speak and I keep sitting there as though I lost my voice.
"Hello…" He says again.
I once again just sit there.
"Thank you so much for not answering" He mumbled before hanging up and minutes later I still have the phone to my ear trying to find my voice.
I didn't think anyone would actually answer.
I'm going to try again. I need to just gather up all my courage and just say what I need to say.
"I need to talk to Grey. I need to talk to Grey. May I speak to Grey?" I kept reciting as I dialed in the numbers again and hit the green button.
On the third ring it was picked up just like before but this time the voice wasn't the boy from the show. This time it was the person that walked out on me. My best friend…
"Hello?"
"Grey?" I whispered not believing I was actually hearing her voice.
"Do I know you?" She questioned and I could tell she was tired.
"Brooke… its Brooke" I stammered out.
"I'm sorry wrong-"
The second she started that sentence I knew I needed to talk. I was snapped back to reality. "No Grey please don't hang up. Please, I am begging you to do just this one thing for me and not hang up."
"You have thirty seconds" She told me in a flat tone.
"You have to come home" It tumbled out of my mouth before I even knew I was saying it.
"I can't"
That angered me. It made me wish she was standing in front of me so I could just push her. "Damn it Grey we are sinking!"
"What? You can't afford groceries and need me to pay for it? Hell no, Brooke. You and Nathan-"
"There is no me and Nathan, Grey! He hates me! He won't speak to me! He blames me! And Dan is back and broke my arm and… God Grey please. Please just be Grey Davis again. Please" I begged as tears streamed down my face.
"You told me you didn't care about me Brooke!"
"And you said we don't exist! You said mom was in a psyche ward! You made it sound like Dan was a good person! Damn it Grey, why are you so hell bent on wanting nothing to do with me? With Nathan? You obviously have no problem with Devon, or Jeremy. What did we do?" I cried angrily.
"You… you"
"I what? Was I unsupportive? No it couldn't be that because I was the one that told you, you were going to be famous and had your back when Devon made fun of it! What the fuck did I do Grey?"
"Bye Brooke" She said coldly but I didn't stop I kept going.
"The worst part of this whole thing is I am still so proud of you. I watched your show and I knew you were something special. I still love you and you don't even have enough respect for me to just help me. All I wanted was to talk to you about boys and high school and no one would have had to know, but no. You refuse to even say I exist."
"Brooke…"
"I still love you Grey. Davis, Simon. Blonde hair, brunette. Talking to me or not I still love you. I will always love you."
"I can't Brooke"
"You can't or you won't?"
"I can't" She repeated hanging the phone up making me let out a angry scream throwing my phone at the wall and watched at the phone got lodged into it. "Great" I whispered grabbing the phone and pulling a poster off the wall and hiding the hole. I walked towards the bed as thoughts of Grey ran through my head.
"How was your day Grey?"
She looked up from the computer with a shrug. "Just being me"
"So obviously it was awesome" I smiled at her and her whole face lit up.
"Obviously"
"I made this for you when I saw him in a magazine" I smiled handing Grey the small folder and she opened it to see a collage of Shemar Moore on the construction paper.
"He does make my heart pitter patter" She smiled dreamily closing her eyes.
"That's why I did it"
"You ever think people need their own theme music?" Grey whispered to me as we watched a girl from my softball team and her sister saunter in from pool thinking they were hot stuff just because they were rich.
"The walking cavemen certainly think so" I whispered back making both of us burst out into laughter making the whole house glare at us.
"Throw the beans out the window!" Grey yelled at me at the alluminum pan of baked beans fell all over my shirt.
"There are people around us Grey! I can't just throw it out the window" I yelled through laughter.
"Shake shake shake shake uh shake it!" Grey and I sang as we danced to Metro Station in her car as we drove towards the mall knowing we were getting looks.
Grey out a loud muffle noise and I shook my head. "Stop thinking about it Grey!" I yelled before I continued singing.
"You just threw my Icee out the window!" I yelled as Grey drove towards the house.
"The boys can't know we got drinks. I have to get rid of the evidence"
"So throwing it out was the reasonable option? I wasn't even half way done"
"Drink faster"
"Drive slower" I retorted
"Man!" Grey yelled as we drove down the road.
"Mailbox" I grumbled not even close to as excited as she was.
"No Brooke. Bird!"
"Tree"
"Brooke no! Little boy!" She yelled again.
"Button"
"Brooke you suck at this…"
"I don't know what this is!"
"Goat!"
"Dog!" I yelled back.
"Yes! A dog moves" She smiled.
"You're so stupid. I don't know why I put up with you."
"You love me"
"God only knows why"
"You are going to be famous one day Grey Davis. Change your name though. Grey Simon sounds so much better" I smiled as we laid in our room.
"Oh definitely and when I win an award I will cuss out Coach Little Man and thank my beautiful baby sister for always knowing I could do it"
"And meet hot guys. Lots and lots of hot guys…"
"She's gone" My mom whispered as sat on my sister's bed.
"What? No, she can't be gone. Grey wouldn't just leave." I rambled shaking at the thought my sister would be gone.
"I didn't think I would be nominated let alone win. Wow I just want to thank the people that let me get here. My agent, John. My best friend, Jaymee. God. And wow so many other people… thank you all so much" I watched as she was handed her award and felt the tears fall at the thought she didn't tell Coach Little Man how it was and she didn't thank me…
She looks good though…
I grabbed the metal rod post and fell to the floor covering my hand to stop the loud sobs emitting from my throat as my head started to throb as thoughts kept flowing through mind as if they were on a loop and wouldn't stop.
"What he do?" Grey asked as I climbed into the car.
"Told me I was allergic to braces" I growled.
"Prick" She grumbled.
"Agreed"
"You're my best friend you know that?" Grey smiled at me.
"Right back at you Miss Grey"
"This is the largest size you can get. So big that they don't even have a lid for it. God loves me" Grey smiled as she sipped on the coffee.
"You have an addiction. It scares me" I teased taking a sip of my own coffee.
"Give me a chip"
I handed her a potato chip. "You can't eat just one"
"This is true"
"Where you guys going?" Grey asked as the boys started towards the door.
"Man cave" Easton responded.
"You can't come" Nathan told us as they hurried out the door.
"We need a girl cave"
"I concur"
"Brooke?" I heard Rachel gasp kneeling in front of me but I couldn't concentrate on her or Peyton and Quinn who I knew would probably be there.
"Brooke!" Quinn snapped trying to get me to stop crying.
"What can we do?"
"Nathan?" Peyton suggested and Rachel shook her head.
"He won't care…"
"I am messing with you" Nathan smiled at me.
"Cause he's dead Peter!" Grey yelled from behind us making us laugh.
"Shooter likes her too much" Easton commented as I sat in the grass with the yellow lab laying his head in my lap.
"Because for the first six months she wouldn't let him walk. She carried him everywhere." My mom smiled at us all.
"Slap bet! Every time Devon cuss's he gets slapped!" Easton announced the bet which we got from How I Met Your Mother.
"Hell no" Devon refused and Nathan smirked.
"Time to get slapped!" Grey laughed as Devon shut his eyes tight and Nathan swung at Devon.
"Life lesson #552, never hit a girl. You hit a girl, you get junk punched" Easton told Nathan.
"And I do the punching" I smiled at him.
"Raine and Easton sitting in a tree!" I sang as Raine laughed and Easton glared at me dancing around the room.
"K-I-S-S-I-N-G!" Grey continued dancing with me.
"I hate you both" Easton groaned throwing his head back
"She's crying and she won't stop and you just need to come… Because you're the only person we can think of" I heard Rachel say I guess into her phone.
"Bitch"
"Whore"
"Skank"
"Slut"
"Sadist"
"… Hmmm" I stopped to think of another one.
"No, you hesitated. I win!" Grey smiled.
"You are definitely coming with me when I move. I can't be away from you that long" Grey grinned as we watched TV.
"You sure about that?"
"Oh yeah. They can't keep me away from you that long. Or Nathan."
"Brooke…. Brooke. Look at this awesome new app I got" Easton yelled running up the stairs to my room.
"It tells me where my phone is" He smiled as we both sat cross legged on my bed.
"I should get that"
"You should get that"
"I hate you sometimes" I grumbled at Devon as a slow smile spread across his face.
"So you are admitting there are times when you like me?"
"No.. I didn't-"
"Nope, you said it. You love me."
"Life lesson #251. Never throw rocks" Easton stated.
"That girl was crazy" Raine laughed as we sat on the sofa eating dinner.
"Alfie is looking for you mom" Nathan laughed as I ran down the stairs.
"Mamma, mamma" I gasped trying to catch my breath.
"Alfie, Alfie"
"I love you mom" I smiled wrapping my arms around her neck.
"Easton, you're coming back right?"
"Oh yeah. I will only be at Raine's sister's wedding for a few days. I promise you Brooke. I'm not going anywhere" He smiled taking Raine's hand walking out the door.
"Pureed" I said.
"Fries" Easton threw in.
"Mashed" Nathan said.
"To have sex with" Devon nodded making us roll our eyes at him.
"Shoes"
"Ooh… a glove" Grey tried.
"Sissy you're so silly. You cannot make a glove out of a potato." Nathan shook his head at her.
"Where is she?" I heard being asked before hearing footsteps and someone walking into my room. I heard as he sat down next to me and wrapped his arms tight around me pulling me close as I sobbed into his chest.
"Where's Easton?" Nathan asked as he walked in and saw a letter sitting on the table. "Where's Easton, Brooke?"
"Gone" I whispered not wanting to believe it.
"I won't leave you guys okay?" Devon tried to smile at me and Nathan but we both looked depressed.
"That's what they all say" Nathan whispered.
"I'm not going anywhere" Devon repeated.
"He's not coming back is he?" I asked as I sat on the driveway wishing to see Devon's truck pull into the drive way.
"Come on baby" My mom said trying not to cry pulling me off the ground.
"Nathan, are you ever gonna talk to me?" I asked sadly as he sat in his new room throwing his basketball up into the air while he ignored me.
"I guess not" I sighed sadly walking back to my room.
"Hi I'm Rachel" The red head smiled sticking her hand out to me.
"Brooke" I replied with a forced smile taking her hand.
"This is Peyton" She pointed to a blond next to her.
"Hi" I said when Quinn walked up.
"Brooke!" Quinn squealed running over tackling me with a hug.
"Who is that?" I heard being asked as I slammed the front door shut shrugging my book bag off.
"My sister" Nathan said with no emotion not looking away from the game.
I glared at all the guys in the room and watched as a very attractive blond smirked at me. "What?" I hissed at him.
"I'm Lucas" He introduced.
"I don't care" I growled going up the stairs and slamming the door.
"You are one angry person" Lucas smirked at me as I stood in my kitchen grabbing something to drink.
"I have every right to be" I said curtly wondering why he was always here.
"Why? Because Grey Simon is your sister. That should be a good thing" He laughed as my whole body stiffened.
"Shut the hell up." I responded.
"Yeah, Nathan told me. You should really learn not to hold grudges."
"And you should really learn to stay our other people's business. You don't know me and you don't know my family, so fuck off" I hissed as he let out a dry laugh and I didn't stick around to hear his reply.
"I hate you" Nathan said to me as I sat in my room.
"Feeling's mutual" I responded and watched as he slammed my door and I made sure to swallow the lump in my throat.
My sobs slowly decreased and the pain in my head started to fade. He picked me up slowly laying me on the bed before lying down beside me and pulling me once again close to him.
"I'm not going anywhere" He whispered to me.
"That's what they all say" I replied savoring the moment of being in his arms because from experience I know that no one stays when they say they are going to.
"I'm not going anywhere" He repeated kissing my fore head pushing my hair behind my hair.
"I'll go to the dance with you" I mumbled randomly before my eyes shut and I drifted off to sleep where my memories haunted to me just as much as they did while I was awake.
Review! so i felt like i had to make Felix nice. I hate him ALWAYS being the bad guy...
