Disclaimer: I don't own anything (just my story of course)
Hello guys I'm back, after months without posting something I'm back with a new chapter and I really hope you'll like it :)
In the previous chapter...
"Hey you!" said Lucas heading to the brunette "You didn't call me."
"I told you I wouldn't…but I don't think your ego get the information" answered Brooke playfully
"Oh that hurts!"said Lucas playing along. "But it means I'm gonna have to go to the next level…"
"Which is ?"
Lucas didn't get the chance to answer to that question because Haley and Nathan joined them.
Chapter 4 "Jealousy"
Brooke and Lucas were looking deeply at each other now, so deeply that they didn't even notice Brooke's friends coming.
Nathan was clearly pissed now. He told Brooke to stay away from Lucas and here she was looking at him as if she was going to rip out his clothes and have sex with him. Because, yeah, he was aware of all the sexual tension between them; that's why he decided, to bring it to an end, by clearing his throat loudly.
The two adults turned to see the one who interrupted their "sexual interaction", and Lucas wasn't pleased when he realized it was…
"Lee…"said Lucas, not even bothering using Nathan first name this time.
"Scott" answered Nathan sending him bad looks.
"I've seen you a lot lately" pursued Nathan.
"Yeah, me too…" answered Lucas maintaining his gaze.
And here it was again, this awkward moment when the two guys where sending each other death glares while the two girls were watching the scene, trying to find a way to ease the situation.
And again, Haley was the ne to find the solution…
"Ok, now that we found Brooke, let's go eat !"
"Yeah, let's go" repeated Brooke fearing a fight between the two basketball players.
Nathan finally decided to drop it, and started to leave when he heard Lucas call Brooke.
"We're gonna have to finish this conversation you know…"
Brooke who was leaving too, turned around and answered returning his smile "Yeah sure…You'll just have to call me then…" she said, and winked at him before turning back.
And then she left with a clearly mad Nathan, and a very happy Lucas.
Nathan hadn't said a word since this little incident. He was mad at Brooke, and Brooke kind of figured it out, judging from the bad looks he was sending her.
"Stop looking at me like this" said Brooke annoyed.
"Looking at you how? Like a best friend who's disappointed in her best friend because she decided not to follow his advice?" asked Nathan innocently.
"You didn't give me advice Nathan, you gave me orders! And you know how much I hate orders especially when they come from you!"
"Yeah well you knew how much I hated Lucas and it didn't stop you from talking to him!" Nathan spanned back.
"You're acting like a spoiled kid now…"said Brooke clearly upset.
"Are you fucking kidding me! You're the one who acts like spoiled kid her , not me! I told you to stay away from him, but you didn't listen to me! So don't say I'm the spoiled kid here, because you are! That's actually why I have to treat you like a kid and look after you, because obviously you can't do that by yourself!" yelled Nathan
"But I didn't ask you to look after me! I'm old enough to choose who I want to hang out with ! Lucas is a great guy!" Brooke yelled back
"You don't know anything about him.."
"But you do ?"
Yes, he did. Nathan had a lotof good reasons to resent Lucas that much, but he didn't want to think about this right now, he didn't want to feel this pain again. That's why he remained silent.
"That's what I thought to…" said Brooke, satisfied that he didn't have to say anything back; before leaving the table.
She didn't understand why he was acting like this. He was her best friend, he was supposed to be there for her. That's what he did those past few years, but today he decided to give up on her, and she didn't even know why.
Haley and Nathan were alone now. The table was awfully quiet and Nathan was awfully pissed.
"Wow" said Haley. That was the first thing that came in her mind after watching the fight between her two best friends.
"Could you please spare me your comments Hales, I'm not in a mood for that…" asked Nathan already frustrated by the situation.
"No..." answered Haley proudly and Nathan sighed, "because you deserve it dude! Did you forgot who you were talking to few minutes ago ?Let me help you…You're best friend Brooke!" yelled Haley at the brunette. "What the hell is wrong with you ?" asked Haley smacking his head now.
"Ow! That hurts!" complained the young man, while massaging the spot where his best friend hit him few seconds ago.
"Shut up, you deserve it!" snapped Haley.
"Why are you mad at me ? She's the one who started all this!" defended Nathan.
"No, you are! Why the hell did you do that!" Haley asked smacking his head again.
"Stop doing this!" yelled Nathan "I'm just trying to help her!"
"How ? By being an asshole ?" yelled Haley back
"This guy is an dick Haley..." answered Nathan calmly this time.
"That doesn't answer my question..." said Haley, trying to remain calm. "Why do you hate him so much Nate ?" she asked her best friend, looking deeply in his eyes.
"It's complicated Hales..."
"It's complicated or you don't want to talk about it ?"
Nathan didn't say anything.
"That' what I thought too…Look, whatever happened between you guys, I don't understand what you would yell at Brooke and act like a jealous boyfriend." said Haley trying to reasone her best friend. And that's when it hit her.
"I get it now!"
"What ?" asked Nathan confused.
"Oh my God, you're jealous!"
"What ? No, I'm not! What are you talking about ?" asked Nathan not understanding what his best friend meant.
"You're jealous of Lucas, that's why you're acted like this..."
"What ? No!" yelled Nathan shocked by her conclusions. "Why would I be jealous of him ? I hate him!"
"I don't know, maybe because he likes Brooke and Brooke likes him too ?"
"That's bullshit!"
"No it's not!" The young woman paused and look deeply in her friend's eyes. "You have feelings for her don't you ?"
