A/N: Hey guys! Here's your surprise! A few readers expressed in reviews that there were a few scenes that they wished I would have added in the story. So I decided to do that! I've got a few planned out. If there is anything in particular you would like to see, let me know! The next one will be up soon. Thanks!
"Nathan wait!" I heard Peyton shout from behind me. I ignored her as I ran to the parking lot, searching for Brooke. Through all the anger and shock of finding out my girlfriend and my brother have been sleeping together I was only worried about one thing: Brooke. It's funny how something as fucked up as this can make you realize the truth.
Running through the hallways in search of my best friend, I realized what had happened. Somewhere between all the fights with each other or Luke or Haley; somewhere between all the partying and drinking; somewhere between tall the baskets made and the cheers yelled I fell for her. My best friend. The one person that was always by my side no matter what.
I slammed through the school doors, not hearing footsteps behind me. Maybe they gave up the chase. Gazing out to the parking lot, I saw her sitting on the hood of Peyton's car still, head in her hands. I ran forward. About five feet away I stopped. I knew she heard me running up to her yet she didn't move at all.
"Brooke," I whispered. She wiped her eyes, whispering "Nathan," back at me before looking up. Even with tears and mascara staining her cheeks she was still beautiful. I almost forgot what I had come to say, tempted to blurt our "I love you."
"Lucas broke up with me." She said quietly.
"Luke's been sleeping with Haley," I said, deciding to do this like ripping off a band aid, the quicker the better.
"What?" she asked, eyes wide with shock, sliding off Peyton's car to stand in front of me.
"Please tell me that's some kind of sick joke Nate."
"I wish it was, but no. Mr. Harris caught Luke passing Haley a note in class and read it out loud. Trust me, I'm just as shocked as you are!" I said, gathering her in my arms. She pulled back immediately, still in shock.
"Wait…what…I mean how…you…she," she stammered, "Are you fucking kidding me?"
Before I could say anything, the tears started falling again. I once again pulled her into my arms, the tears now soaking my shirt.
"It's okay B. You've still got me. We'll figure this out. I promise you," I mumbled into her hair.
"I hope so Natey. Because I can't figure this out all by myself. I need you."
"I need you too Brooke. Always have and always will."
She took a deep breath, ready to reply when we heard the school doors open and slam shut behind me.
"Brooke!" Peyton yelled, running to meet us, enveloping Brooke in a hug. Brooke laid her head on Peyton's shoulder and cried for a moment before snapping her head up to glare at the two people standing by the school.
"Brooke, don't," I muttered, grabbing her upper arm as she shrugged out of Peyton's arms.
"Let me go Nate," she said angrily, ripping her arm from my grip.
"You! How dare you! You were supposed to be my friend and help me get through to my boyfriend! But you were just hooking up with him behind my back! Behind Nathan's back! You bitch!" Brooke yelled, pulling her arm back to slap Haley. Before she made contact, Lucas grabbed her arm, stopping her.
A/N: So there it is! You all know what happened after this. Like it? Hate it? Let me know!
