Chapter 5

It's been three months now since Brooke's been in London with her Nan her mom went home a month ago she had too the offices in New York needed her. Brooke spent most of her time with her cousin Toby they were like brother and sister and Brooke loved that she could spend time with him just like she used too. He's been helping her get ready for the baby she still couldn't believe she was going to be a mom she thought about finding out what she was having but didn't want to ruin the surprise so Toby coloured the spare room with neutral colors.

After Victoria went back to the US Brooke decided she'd do her designs from home. As much as she missed Tree Hill she loved being back in London she got to spend time with her family and got to do all the things she used to do as a kid. The pregnancy was going well Brooke thought about telling her mom about the baby but she couldn't the only people that know is her Nan and Toby and Toby only found out because he saw her leaving the hospital and put two and two together.

"Hey Brooke dad wants to know if you want to come to the Arsenal game with us" Toby asked as he walked in her room.

"Toby how can I, I can't keep wearing baggy clothes its summer now Uncle Tony is going to know I'm pregnant" Brooke sighed it would be good to go to a game she hadn't been since she was a kid.

"Brooke dad's going to find out eventually it's time to tell the people who care about you" Toby said as he hugged his cousin he hated seeing her hurt if he could see this Lucas guy he'd give him a piece of his mind.

"I know I just don't think I'm ready" Brooke cried she knew she'd have to tell him, she'd have to tell everyone eventually but she couldn't not right now.

"Why Brooke, I know you just want me and Nan to know but why, why not your mom, my dad we'd be here for you. Please talk to me Brooke you know we can tell each other anything" Toby asked as he held her.

"I'm scared, scared that Lucas will find out and leave Peyton so he can be a father I can't be with someone who doesn't want me I can't be second best anymore. I know I have to tell him he has a child but I can't not right now I couldn't take him only wanting to be with me because we have a child my heart couldn't take that" Brooke cried.

"Oh Brooke that's not going to happen dad isn't going to say anything and please don't cry over Lucas he doesn't deserve your tears if he can't see what a special, good person you are then he doesn't disserve you" Toby said as he wiped her tears he couldn't understand how anyone could hurt her she was such a good person.

"Ok I'll come but I'm not promising anything what time are we meeting your dad" Brooke asked she knew she couldn't spend all her time in London in her room it was time to face the world.

"Awesome dad said he'd meet us at the supporters bar an hour before kickoff" Toby smiled he knew this would be good for Brooke.

Lucas was going out of his mind he still couldn't find Brooke and it's been months since she left. He'd even been to New York and Victoria refused to let him in not that he could blame her he'd broken her daughter's heart. Things with Haley had improved he didn't think she'd ever forgive him for hurting her best friend and making her leave. Lucas knew part of Haley forgiving him was for Jamie and the fact that Haley was pregnant and her hormones were all over the place. Lucas knew Haley was missing Brooke and she tried her best to hide it from him not wanting him to hurt even more but he couldn't get Brooke of his mind even if he wanted to.

Lucas was cleaning up their house he knew he couldn't live like this anymore how would it look if Brooke came home to this not that he was expecting her to come home anytime soon. He knew he had to clean himself up and he decided to start by cleaning their bedroom. It was while he was putting stuff away in the closet that he noticed a box full of Brooke's things from her childhood. As he was looking through the box he realized where Brooke was and he couldn't believe he hadn't thought of it before he knew how much Brooke loved her time with her grandmother when she was younger.

Lucas knew he had to go to London even if she refused to speak to him he had to at least try he couldn't live without her anymore. He rang Nathan to tell him he was going to London and asked him to watch the team while he was gone. He didn't know when he's be back he hoped to come back right away but he'd wait forever if he had to he couldn't be without Brooke anymore.

Lucas got the first flight out to London and he knew this was going to be the longest nine hours of his life he just wanted to be with Brooke right now. If only he thought of London sooner he wouldn't have been going through all this pain these last few months.

Brooke was getting ready to go to the game her Nan was a bit worried about her she didn't think it was safe for a pregnant woman to go to a football match. Brooke had to assure here she'd be fine Toby and Uncle Tony wouldn't let anything happen to her. They were also going to be sitting in the family section so she knew she'd be safe and it's been so long she didn't want to come to London and not go to a game she spent most of her early childhood going with her Uncle and Toby it be just like old times.

Toby was coming to pick Brooke up in about an hour he's going to drive them to the train station then they'll get on the train to the game trying to park at the ground was murder according to Toby and they'd never make the game in time.

While Brooke was getting ready her phone rang private number and she wondered who that could be no one knew her new number apart from her mom so she could tell her what was going on with the company.

"Hello" Brooke answered gingerly.

"Hi Brooke" Haley said at last being able to talk to her it took a lot for Haley to get the number of Victoria after she promised she wouldn't tell Lucas. Haley just really wanted to talk to Brooke and make sure she was ok.

"Hales how, how did you get this number" Brooke asked shocked it's not like she didn't want to talk to Haley she did she missed her and Jamie but she couldn't she knew if she spoke to them it would just make staying away harder.

"Your mom gave it to me are you ok Brooke I've been going out of my mind with worry" Haley cried she was doing that a lot lately the littlest thing could set her off.

"I'm sorry hales I just couldn't really speak to anyone, please don't give Lucas my number I can't talk to him right now" Brooke begged she couldn't handle it if he rang her too.

"I won't, Brooke when are you coming home I'm going to have the baby soon and Jamie really wants to see you he misses you" Haley asked hoping she'd come home soon.

"I can't not right now" Brooke said as she herd Toby yell up the stairs "Hales I got to go my cousins taking me out I'll ring you when I get back" she said as she hung up. Brooke knew she'd have to ring Haley back she needed to talk to her best friend and see how she was and she didn't want Haley to stress it wouldn't be good for the baby.

When Lucas arrived at Heathrow he got a taxi too Brooke's Nan's house he just hoped she still lived there not that Brooke ever said anything about her moving he just hoped his instincts were right and Brooke was there because if she wasn't he didn't really know what else to do.

As Lucas arrived at the house Lucas couldn't believe what he saw Brooke was there but she wasn't alone as she got in some guys car. Lucas knew know he was too late and he couldn't blame her maybe she did disserve someone who wouldn't hurt her. She looked happy and he couldn't come and break her world again.

Lucas knew he couldn't go back home not without her he couldn't take that pain he had to get away he needed to try and make himself the man he knew Brooke disserved because right now he was a mess.

Brooke thought for sure she saw Lucas in the car as it drove past but she just shook her head she really needed to sleep when she got home after the game because she was starting to see things that aren't there.
