"Never had much faith in love or miracles
Never wanna put my heart on the line
But swimming in your water is something spiritual"

"Hales I'm back, ready to do what you promised?" Nathan shouted, walking through the door and not realizing I was there.

"NATHAN!" Haley turned red, priceless.

"What? Oh, jeez B…didn't see you there." And now Nathan turned red, not as deep though.

"Haha, welcome home there Nate."

"Happy Birthday Brooke."

'Thanks Nate, and thank you for my presents, I love them so much.'

"Anytime, you're family. How long you staying for?" Have time to do a birthday shot?"

"Uhh.." glancing down at my phone and saw a text from Lucas saying he'd be there in 30. "Ya, I got some time. I'm down for a shot."

"Nathan, please be careful with her." Gotta love Haley's over protectiveness.

"What you think I'm going to drug her or something? I think you're just jealous you can't do one. That's how she fell in love with me you know…" I started laughing as we walked into the kitchen.

"No it wasn't, your charm and cuteness won me over." she playfully smacked him.

"Sure…you trust me B?"

"Of course." I really didn't know what I was getting myself into.

"First…pumpkin. Cheers!" He said as he handed me my glass and we downed it seconds later.

"That was really good."

"I'm glad you liked. Next is the cheesecake, gotta give you some sort of cake today."

"You didn't want cake did you?" Haley asked, panicking.

"No, I'm fine Hales…really."

"Happy Birthday." Nathan said as we clinked glasses. Once it was gone, I sent a quick text to Lucas, telling him that if he wants a shot to come inside. His reply was quick I'm just getting here and no. I was kind of shocked he said no, so I just responded tell him I'll be out after this one.

"Alright, one more then I'm out."

"Ok, a repeat or a new one?"

"Ummm…new one."

"Ok, this one is Haley's favorite…a mini chocolate tini…sorry babe" Nathan said after sometime and caused Haley to gasp, obviously disappointed she couldn't partake in the drinking.

'Awww, it's okay Hales, " I said after downing the shot, "only a few more months."

"Ya, ya…we'll see."

"Thank you guys so much for everything.' I said as I walked towards the door.

"Anytime, you're family…don't ever forget that."

"You too…" I went in to give Haley a hug goodbye.

"You be safe; don't party too hard, but have fun with him you deserve it."

"Thanks, Hales, love you." I walked towards my car to put my presents in there before making my way towards Lucas's car. "Hey babe." I said, as I got into his car.

"Hello there Pretty Girl. Happy Birthday." He leaned in and gave me a kiss. I mumbled a thanks in between the kisses. I pulled away so he could drive, but our hands were still interlocked.

"Why didn't you want to come in for shots? You love trying new ones and these were really good."

"It would have been weird; they never met me and here I'm coming in, doing shots and then driving you."

"Babe, I'm sure Nathan and Haley will love you. And I trust you, you wouldn't have drove if you were that far gone."

"It's just strange to me, but I'll meet them eventually." He placed a kiss on my hand. "And I'm sorry I don't have your gift tonight; I just have this whole night planned in my head…taking you out for dinner, movie, gifts, and what not."

"It's okay Broody, I don't want anything anyway. I have you and I'm totally happy with that." Not even realizing it, we pulled up to the house that was having the party.

"I love you, you know that?"

"Yes, because it's as much as I love you."

"Babe, who's party is this?"

"A girl I went to high school with at her family home." Lucas gave me a puzzle look. "No, it's not Peyton's and I highly doubt she will be here."

"Ok, but if either of them are here, we are leaving. I don't want you to deal with that and I'll kick his scrawny ass for what he did to you."

"Aww, you are so cute when you get all protective with me." I planted a quick kiss on his cheek as we made our way inside.

"That's cause I don't want to see you hurt that much again."

"I wont, I'm with you…so drinks?"

"Why not. Just a beer, you know what I like."

"Alright, I'll be back." I said making my way towards the kitchen, getting a quick hello from some people I knew from school. A few minutes alter, I felt hands snake around my waist and I started freaking out. "Uhh, can you please take your hands off of me, my boyfriend is in the other room."

"So, he's there and we are here." A muffled voice said. And now I started to freak out more. I turned around ready to tell this guy off, but got surprised by who it actually was.


Only got one review last chapter, but hey that's ok cause I know that I haven't updated in forever. Decided to cut this chapter in half, so next one should be up in a couple of days.
