Chapter 6
It's been a couple of weeks now since Brooke's been back in contact with Haley and it felt good to be talking to Haley again she missed her best friend. Brooke felt bad for not being there for Haley with the pregnancy and for not telling her she was pregnant too but she couldn't she couldn't have Lucas finding out right now.
"Hi Hales" Brooke smiled as she answered her phone.
"Hi Brooke, I know I've asked you quite a few times now if you plan on coming home anytime soon but I thought I'd ask again to see if you've changed your mind. I'm having the baby any day and I really want my best friend to be there" Haley asked for what felt like the hundredth time she really missed Brooke over the last few months.
"I can't Hales, I really want to be in Tree Hill with you but I can't take seeing Lucas I just can't" Brooke cried she felt bad for not being there for Haley and she knew Jamie missed her too but she couldn't risk seeing Lucas not right now.
"Brooke, Lucas has gone he packed some stuff up about a week ago he left a note saying he couldn't stay any more, Nathan's been trying to get hold of him. We don't know where he went but Nathan said he took his passport so he could be anywhere" Haley said she was worried about him it was so unlike Lucas to just take off like that.
"Hales can I ring you back later I need time to figure things out" Brooke asked she couldn't believe Lucas would leave Tree Hill she couldn't understand what was going on.
"Ok Brooke please think about coming home we miss you I'll ring you later" Haley said as she hung up she really wished Brooke would come home she really missed her best friend.
Brooke sat there for a few minutes thinking about everything she could go home to Tree Hill now with Lucas being gone but could she stay in their house without him she didn't think she could do that. If she was to go home she'd have to buy a new house to live in.
"Hi Brooke I couldn't help over hearing your convocation with Haley and if you want I'll come home with you to Tree Hill" Nan asked she knew Brooke needed to go home and if she went with her it might help her make the right decision.
"But Nan you said you'd never leave England" Brooke asked shocked as much as she'd love her Nan to come with her she didn't want her Nan to feel obligated to come.
"Brooke I love you and if you need me I'm going to be there, I can home when everything is ok with you, I'm not going to let you go on your own" Nan said as she hugged her granddaughter.
"Ok I best ring Haley and tell her I'm coming home" Brooke smiled she never thought she'd be saying that again but it would be good to go home.
"Ok I'm just going to ring your uncle and ask him to watch my house for me. Then I'll go up stairs and back me some things.
While Brooke was packing Toby walked in with some bags "Before you say no I'm coming with you I can't let you and Nan go on your own" Toby said as he placed his bags down.
"Ok you can come we're going to have to stay at a hotel until I can find a new place to live. How are you going to get a visa" Brooke asked she was lucky she had dual nationality.
"I've booked a tourist visa for 3 months so I should still be in the US when the baby comes. Then I'll have to fly home unless I meet someone over there you never know hell I am a pretty good looking guy" Toby smirked.
"Yeah, yeah big head, thanks Toby for doing this for me" Brooke said as she hugged him.
"Brooke I want to be there for you and hell this will give me a chance to see something other than London" Toby said he helped Brooke finish packing.
Lucas has been in Australia for about a week now he was grateful for Andy giving him the keys to his place and for not telling anyone where he was he just needed some time to himself. Lucas needs time to come to terms with loosing Brooke he never thought he'd feel pain like this. These past six months have been the worst of his entire life and it was all his fault if only he was honest with Brooke about Peyton she'd be his wife now instead of with some guy in London.
Lucas knew eventually he'll have to tell Nathan and Haley where he was but he couldn't not right now. All he could think about was Brooke he couldn't understand how she could be with someone else. Not that he could blame her with what he put her through with Peyton. But all he wanted now was Brooke but maybe she did deserve someone better because right now he was a mess.
Andy has got Lucas a job at one of his offices in Melbourne he starts today he thought about ringing Andy and telling him he wasn't ready but he couldn't live off Andy he had to pay his way and this could help him get back on track he couldn't keep living like this.
"Hi I'm Amanda you must be Lucas, Andy's told me all about you, and we've set you up an office over here." Amanda said as she showed Lucas around.
"Hi, thanks for hiring me on such short notice" Lucas said as he followed her around.
"It's now problem Andy told me you were working on a book and needed new scenery" Amanda said as she led him to his office.
"Yeah something like that" Lucas said as he took a seat it was going to be strange working here instead of a school but Andy was right maybe this will be the best place for him to write his book and work as a journalist he had a degree in journalism it was time for him to use it.
When Brooke arrived in Tree Hill Haley and Nathan met them at the airport. Brooke's Nan wanted to ring Victoria to tell her they were in Tree Hill but Brooke didn't want her mom to know just yet. Nan hated lying to her daughter but she respected Brooke's wishes.
"Brooke" Haley smiled as she saw Brooke coming through the turnstiles.
"Hi tutor mom, Nate" Brooke said as she made her way over to them.
"Oh my god you're pregnant" Haley yelled as she noticed Brooke's very pregnant belly.
"Shh Hales I don't want the whole world to know" Brooke said the last thing she wanted was for it to be in the press.
"Brooke we need to talk" Haley said as they walked away from everyone.
"Ok, Nan, Toby I'll be back in a minute" Brooke said as Haley grabbed her arm and started walking her away from everyone she was expecting this as she never told Haley about the baby.
"Hi, I'm Nathan how about I take you both to the car while they talk they could be a while" Nathan said as he helped Brooke's Nan with their luggage.
"Brooke how could you not say anything" Haley asked as they sat down.
"I'm sorry Haley I just couldn't, I wanted to more than anything but I just couldn't" Brooke cried maybe it was a bad idea coming home.
"Why Brooke I would have been here for you" Haley said she couldn't believe all these things happening.
"I know that hales and I love you for that, but I couldn't ask you to choose between me and Lucas and that's what I would have been doing if I told you. I couldn't ask you to keep this from him and right now I'm not ready for him to know I know eventually he'll have to know but right now my heart couldn't take seeing him and the stress it would bring me wouldn't be good for my baby and I have to put he or she first. I never ever thought I'd be a mom with what the doctors told me it's a miracle baby Hales and I can't risk losing the baby it's all I have in the world" Brooke cried.
"It's ok Brooke I'm going to be there for you and the baby and I know you don't want to here this but whenever Lucas comes back he's going to want to be here for the baby too" Haley said as she hugged her best friend.
"Thanks tutor mom, I promise you I will tell Lucas about the baby just not right now" Brooke said as she wiped her eyes.
Even though Brooke wasn't ready to tell Lucas just yet she knew in her heart she could never keep their child from him forever he had a right to get to know their child and be a father to him or her. But right now she just couldn't be around him, and she didn't think she ever could he just broke her heart too much. They would just have to come up with away so he could be there for the baby.
