Life Happens

Chapter One-Positive

As I sat in my powdered blue beetle, rethinking my whole life and the mistakes I have made in the past and in the present.

I was now at the river court where I was watching my seventeen-year old ex-boyfriend sitting at the court in deep thought. In my sixteen years of life, he was the only guy I thought I could fall completely in love with and I did in the short time we were together and it turns out love bites; both him and my so-called best friend bit me by cheating and now I am suffering for it.

I get out of the car and slowly walk towards where he's sitting, I have something to tell him, but I don't know how. I reached him and he looked up curious to why I'm standing in front him considering I cut both he and Peyton off.

"I need to talk to you" Brooke said nervously not knowing how to say what's been hanging over her head all day.

"Okay" Lucas said confused and growing more curious about what she wanted to talk about.

"I don't know if I been ignoring this or avoiding it, but I can't" Brooke said as the tears started to well up in her eyes.

"Brooke, what's up?" Lucas asked concerned.

"I think…I'm pregnant" Brooke said.

"What do you mean you think" Lucas asked with fear in his eyes identical to Brooke's, as he stood up.

"I mean I'm late, like late" She explained as she tried to hold back the fact that she wanted to cry.

"Well, did u take a test?" Lucas asked trying to keep his composure. I just shook my head no.

"Well, the store still open; we'll do it together" he said as I took his hand and we left.

We ended up at my house since my parents are never home. I immediately went into the bathroom to take the pregnancy test while Lucas sat on my bed and waited for me to finish.

I could tell he was as nervous as me and wanted to crawl under a rock, but he was trying to be supportive.

The timer went off and I grabbed the test off the bathroom sink. This was it the moment of truth, I looked at the test and it looked like it had two lines which from the directions I read it was definitely 'positive'. I walked out into my room with the test and he read it out loud.

"It's positive" Lucas Said in shock.

"Oh my God !" Brooke said as she sat on the bed next to Lucas and started to cry "I'm pregnant".

Lucas started to rubbed her back and she quickly moved away from his touch.

"No" She said in the mist of her sob.

"Look, I know your still mad at me" Brooke looked at him as to say 'dang right I am'. " But we can go to the doctor in the city tomorrow, I'll take you"

"I'll take myself" Brooke said firmly.

"Brooke, I'm just as scared as you are, but I want to help" Lucas said "so trust me"

"Yea, because that worked out so well for me the last time" Brooke said sarcastically. She asked him to leave and he promised to go to the doctor with her in the morning.

It was now 9:45p the next day and it had been a long day, Brooke and Lucas had been to the doctor's that morning and it was confirmed that she was confirmed that she was pregnant, by the end of the lunch period. They got into a huge fight, in which things were said that they can't take back.

Brooke was lying on her bed watching television when Lucas walked into her room. He looked remorseful and anxious at the same time.

"Argument cut off was nine o'clock" Brooke said as she set up not wanting to hear what her baby's father had to say.

"Well, I don't want to argue" Lucas said. "Just hear me out" he pleaded.

"Whatever" she responded.

"My father never wanted me, not just that he didn't want me, but he didn't want me to be born" Lucas said as he sat down. "I always thought when I started a family, I'll be older and …"

"In love?" Brooke chimed in and huffed when he agreed.

"but, so did my mom" Lucas continued.

"Lucas…"

"this whole situation scares me, but whatever you need from me I'm here and if you want to have this baby I do too and whatever it takes for me to be a good father I will be there always…I won't let you down" Lucas finished and realized Brooke was crying. "Brooke…"

"Lucas, this is my issue to deal with and I'm going to take care of it" Brooke said. "I'm going to the clinic, you don't love me and having a baby with you will be a mistake"

"Brooke, please think about this before you decide, I care about you so much" Lucas pleaded.

"Lucas, I'll just talk to you tomorrow I need to rest" Brooke said tired of fighting.

"Okay, I'll see you in school tomorrow" Lucas respond.

The next day in school, Brooke tried to avoid Lucas at all cost but he seen her a cheerleading practicing and was staring the whole time. After practice he caught up with her on the way to her car.

"Brooke, wait up" Lucas said trying to keep up with Brooke.

"What do you want Lucas" Brooke said defended.

"Come on, Brooke, you don't have to deal with this alone, we can handle it together"

"but we're not together remember, besides I'm taking care of it today" Brooke as she rubbed her stomach.

"Please Brooke, don't do this" Lucas pleaded. "this should be our decision because he or she is our child"

"Lucas, I can't talk to you about this right now" Brooke said with tears in her eyes. "I have to go" she said as she got in the car and pulled off leaving a studded Lucas behind.

For the next few days, Brooke didn't show up to school and Lucas was starting to get worried. Lucas seen Peyton at lunch period and decide to ask her had she heard from Brooke.

"Hey Peyton" Lucas shouted to get her attention.

"Hi, Luke, what's up?" Peyton answered.

"I was just wondering have you seen or heard from Brooke lately" Lucas asked.

"No, I tried to talk to her, but she's still upset with me about everything" Peyton explained.

"Yea, me too, but I'm worried about her" Lucas said. "Imma try again today"

"Okay, keep me updated" Peyton said before they went their separate ways.

Lucas went over to Brooke's house after school to try to talk to her again. When he arrived it seemed as if no one was home, but he knocked on the door anyway. He kept knocking and no one answered, he started back toward his truck, but he looked up at her window and he seen a figure peeking out of the window and he knew it was her.

"Brooke, I know you're in there. We need to talk about this and handle it together.

"Lucas, go away" Brooke said. "I don't want to talk to you"

"Brooke, come on, I'm sorry" Lucas pleaded. "please talk to me about this"

"There's nothing to talk about anymore" Brooke expressed. "I took care of it already"

" what do you mean you took care of it?" Lucas asked.

"I mean you and I no longer have anything to talk about or work out together, so go back to Peyton or just go home" Brooke said before closing her window and blinds.

Lucas didn't even fight with her. He took one last glance up at her window then walked away trying to hold it together.

Brooke watch as Lucas got in his truck and left, then she broke down. She just lied to the father of her baby and couldn't take it back. "I guess it's just me and you kid" Brooke said as she rubbed her belly.

The next day at school was long for both Brooke and Lucas. Brooke walked around from class to class with a dark cloud over her head and constant morning sickness throughout the day. Lucas felt helpless thinking that the life that him and Brooke created was now gone, but in his heart he didn't believe her and wanted to get the truth. But for now, he was giving her the space she asked him for.

After third period, Brooke was trying to avoid Lucas and all her other friends, but she happened to run into Peyton, who was calling out to her.

"Brooke, wait up!" Peyton called out.

"What do you want Peyton, I'm trying to get to class" Brooke said still walking a faster pace.

"I want to call a truce Brooke" Peyton started. "We have been friends for far too long to let a guy come between us"

"Peyton, I do miss you, but I'm not sure I can trust you" Brooke said sadly.

"Well, let me prove to you that you can trust me and I promise I will never hurt you again. I love you, B. Davis" Peyton said she open her arms for her friend.

Brooke rolled her eyes and smile then accepted Peyton's hug. "I still love you, too, P. Sawyer". Brooke hugged her tighter and then begun to cry.

"What's wrong B. Davis?" Peyton asked concerned.

"Let's talk after cheer practice and I promise I'll tell you everything" Brooke explained.

"Are you sure you don't want to go somewhere and talk now" Peyton said.

"No Peyt, let's just talk afterschool and I'll come to your house and stay" Brooke said wiping her tears.

" Ok, Brookie, let's get you to class" Brooke just nodded.
