Chapter Six

Third POV

Brooke came home to find her mother waiting, her face told her that the news she had wasn't good.

"Brooke, sit down please," Brooke did as she was told, and took the seat opposite her mother.

"What's up?" she asked as cheery as she could.

"Your father and I are getting a divorce, that's why I'm back," Brooke's world began to fall apart at the seams; "I'm going to stay with your aunt for while me and your father figure things out."

Brooke had gotten home on a high that day only to have it ripped out from underneath. Brooke sat quietly on the stairs after her mother left and just waited for someone to pop their head round and go "Aprils fool!", but it was never going to happen, they had made their choice. Not able to hold back the tears any longer she grabbed her bag and coat and left.

She headed to the second place she felt safest, Dean's, only he wasn't home and calling him was a bust as he wasn't answering his cell. Eventually giving up on Dean she headed to Nate's.

Heading round back she found her friend practicing his moves, basketball moves we mean. She smirked as she watched him bounce the ball and then dunk it in the net.

"You keep playing like that, you'll make my job very easy this year," He stopped and laughed.

"I make your job easy every year," she nodded. "What brings you out here Davis?" noting that her face looked kinda swollen from crying.

"Uh, just wanted to see my hotshot player in action," she lied sitting on his bench; Nate just pursed his lips and nodded "So, have you seen Dean?" She asked hoping.

"Nope, but he might at Haley's this week, did you try there?"

"Oh that's right, I forgot he's picking her up this week."

"Brooke you ok, I mean really?" She pursed her lips and nodded yes, Nate gave her a look that said I know you're not ok.

"Alright, No, I'm not," Nathan sat beside her. "My parents are getting divorced, and the one time I need Dean I can't find him," she let a few tears fall; Nate wrapped an arm round her pulling her close.

Being the child of divorce he knew how hard it could be, but how much better it could also be in the long run.

"Look Brooke, I'm not going lie and say it's easy when your parents get divorced but it does get better," he looked at her. "Besides you get two birthdays and two Christmases," he laughed making Brooke laugh with him. "Yes I succeeded in making Brooke Davis laugh, Dean will be proud."

Brooke furrowed her brows together, "What?"

"Uh yeah, Dean's number one rule when it comes to you..." He paused thinking. "Or maybe second…..yeah definitely second rule," Brooke smirked at him. "When Brookie's sad make her laugh."

Brooke smiled that was Dean for you, always protecting her from things, he was the big brother Brooke never really wanted but got all thanks to their mothers being best friends.

"So what's his number one rule for me?" she asked sitting up straighter.

"Don't break her heart or I'll break your legs," Nate smiled as Brooke pulled a slightly shocked face, but laughed. "He's really protective of you Brooke."

"I know," she smiled. "That's what Big Bros are for though." Nate laughed, he had always known Dean and Brooke were close and that there was nothing in it, but others thought different, unless you know Dean's history you really didn't get why the two most unlikely friends would be best friends.

"Look why don't we go do something fun?" Nate asked changing the subject.

"Like what?" she asked him running a hand through her hair.

"Like a video game, I'll totally let you win."

"Oh I beat Dean's ass all the time, so you're so on hotshot," she stood and headed for his house.

"Game on Davis," he answered back, grabbing his ball and following her in.

An Hour Later:

And Nathan was getting his ass kicked, by none other then Brooke Davis, trying hard not to sulk at being beaten by a girl, he changed the subject.

"You do your homework?" Nathan rolled his eyes random question, but it was the only one he could think of, Brooke laughed at him knowing he was upset.

"Hey told you I was good," Brooke laughed as she beat Nathan for the fourth time.

"Dude, you're cheating," he laughed at her, as she shook her head. Brooke looked at her watch.

"Well I better get back, don't want to worry my parents if they decide to phone," she mocked. "Thanks for tonight Nate, you really cheered me up."

Nathan stood to meet her, wrapping her a tight hug, "It will be alright, I promise," he leaned down and gently kissed her cheek, as they pulled apart they stared at each other, Nathan slowly, but surely closed the gap between their mouths and let their tongues dance with each other.

Brooke wrapped her arms around his neck, pulling him closer to her, as Nathan slowly backed them up to the bed.

They fell on it, making Brooke giggle slightly, Nathan ran one hand through her hair, "Are you sure?" he asked her, she nodded and pulled him down to her waiting lips again.

They helped each other out of their clothes and found themselves wrapped in the sheets, as Nathan moved above gently, she gasped with every move he made driving her over the edge. Wrapping her legs around him to pull him closer to her she felt her body pulse under his and she suddenly felt whole, ok cheesy as it sounds, she did.

Pulling back to look at her, he smiled as he leaned down and kissed her again. Their bodies moved as one, and soon they were on the verge of climax. As the rhythm got faster so did the build up of pressure, Brooke let his name fall from her lips as she gripped him tighter.

As Brooke's body shuddered, Nate held her close to him, only pulling apart to kiss her again. He rolled off beside her; she let him hold her as she processed what had just happened between them.

Two hours later:

Brooke wandered the streets of her hometown; she held her tears back not wanting anyone to see Brooke Davis cry. Brooke Davis doesn't cry, well not in front of anyone.

When she got to the pier she took a deep breath as she watched the wave's crash against the sand, it felt soothing to her, and for a second she wished her pain could just be washed away. She pulled her cell out and stared at it, the sound of laughing behind her had her turning as a group of friends with no cares, no secrets, and no lies between them walked past.

She left the pier behind, in her search to find something that would make her happy, the mall! As Brooke headed for safety, Nate was waking up to find any empty bed.

"Brooke?" He called out rubbing his eyes, when he got no answer; he got up figuring she was downstairs. "Brooke?" he called out again.

He searched his whole house, but she was gone. Grabbing his shirt and pants from his bedroom floor he grabbed his cell and sighed, calling her number, it went straight to voicemail.

"Oh shit, okay Nate think. What to do, what to do?" he said to himself, he cursed as the thought hit him. "Call Dean," pressing call on the familiar number he braced himself.

Dean rolled over to find the buzzing noise, it was coming from under his jeans, and he narrowed his eyes to see Nate flash up

"Hey man," Dean answered groggily.

"Did I wake you?"

"No, I was watching a movie," Dean lied. "What's up?" Nate braced himself he wasn't sure how Dean would react.

"It's Brooke," Dean was more awake now.

"What about her?" he asked, making Haley turn to face him.

"Dean," she started. "What's wrong?" She asked noticing his face full of concern.

"Nate what is it?" he asked more forceful this time.

"Brooke's missing."

"Missing, what happened?" Dean paused, sitting up in bed. "You know what forget it I'll be right there," Dean hung up, getting out of bed, Haley frowned.

"Dean what's going on?"

"Brooke's missing, we need to go she needs me," Dean shoved his jeans on and grabbed his short has he watched Haley get changed.

Peyton and Jake were in her room, laughing and joking. "So, what's the deal with you and Nikki?" Peyton asked changing the vinyl she had on.

"I don't know yet, I mean we're having fun but I'm not sure where things are heading, Plus Brooke really hates her."

"Brooke only hates her cause she stole her last boyfriend remember?" Peyton turned to him. "Well that and she is a slut," Jake mocked smile and threw a pillow at her. "No, but seriously she's just worried about you, that's all."

"I know, anyway when are you going to be getting back in the DJ booth?" Jake raised one eyebrow.

"I'm not sure man, I haven't really thought about it."

"Well hurry will you I miss decent music. I'll be right back, want a refill?" he asked her before heading downstairs.

"No I'm good thanks," Jake disappeared leaving Peyton to find a small stash of her coke in the back of her vinyl; taking a deep breath she shoved it in her pocket to hide it from him.

Peyton's cell was ringing like mad, sighing she answered it. "Nate, what's up man?" she asked looking over her records.

"I need you guys, Brooke's missing."

"On my way," Peyton hung up just as Jake entered the room.

"Ok so where were we?" Jake asked sitting down on her bed, then noticing Peyton's face. "What's up P?"

"Brooke's missing," She didn't need to add anything else, Jake was up and the two were heading out to Nate's.

It didn't take long for word to spill about Brooke missing as everyone showed up at Nate's in the next twenty minutes.

Dean paced the floor calling her, but was still only getting voicemail. "God Brooke," he turned to Nate. "What happened?"

"She came over, something was wrong, we talked, watched a movie and then I must have fell asleep cause when I woke she was gone," He half lied.

"What was wrong with her Nate?" Peyton asked, that question had him throwing Dean a look.

"I think she should tell you guys herself," still staring at Dean.

"Well were do we start looking for her, I mean its Brooke after all," Haley started. "There's only three places that girl goes, the mall, Tric and Karen's."

Dean stopped turning to face them "Ok here's what we do, Peyton, Haley take the mall," they nodded. "Lucas, Nate Tric. That leaves me and Jake to go to Karen's" Jake nodded as Haley bit her lip thinking 'oh shit'.

"Ok so let's go find her, when you do call me ok?" they all nodded at his request, defying Dean wasn't really an option right now.

*******

The guys' search was empty handed, she wasn't in Tric or Karen's and nobody had seen her, so their only hope lay at the Mall.

Meeting up in the middle of town, they all sighed. "God Brooke doesn't think sometimes," Dean said making the rest stare at him.

Haley and Peyton headed for the mall hoping they would find Brooke in one of her three shops, Peyton sighed with relief when she saw her buying shoes.

"You know you could give people heart attacks," Peyton pulled Brooke into a hug; Brooke frowned at them as Haley came up behind Peyton.

"Hey guys, what are you doing here?" She asked returning the hug.

"Looking for you, we got an urgent call from Nate saying you're missing," Haley answered pulling Brooke into another hug.

"I just decide to go shopping for shoes," She held the bag up.

"Ok well we better call Dean to let them know she's fine," Brooke shook her head no.

"Not Dean, call Jake or Lucas," the girls give her a funny look. "If you call Dean he'll just shout at me for taking off," the girls nodded, he would do that.

"Ok fine, we'll call Jake, Hales can you call him please?" Peyton asked slipping an arm in between Brooke's, Haley pulled a face.

"Why do I have to call him?" She asked them, which made her receive funny looks.

"Cause I didn't grab my cell, so just call him," With a sigh she nodded and left.

"Hey Jake, yeah she's safe." She could hear the relief fall of his voice.

Dean threw Jake a look, simply for the fact that Haley called Jake and not him. Shaking his head to forget he looked at the guys.

"At least we know she's safe," Nate nodded. "So who wants a drink?" The four guys shared a look.

"I think that's the best idea of the night Winchester," Lucas added heading back towards Tric with Dean.

"Guy time," Nate and Jake laughed following them.

Haley found Peyton and Brooke chatting at the ice cream stand, "Ok, call made so now what?" Haley asked coming up behind them.

"I think some retail therapy is in order," Brooke said as she eyed another pair of shoes, Peyton just laughed while Haley jumped up and down.

"Yeah let's do that, girl time."

"Girl time," Brooke and Peyton said together laughing.
