I've got most of my packing done and we're not moving until next Thursday so I thought I would shoot out a new story will quickly. I know that I could have wrote for 'Crawling Back To The Way We Were...' But I heard a song that gave me the ideal for this and I want the next chapter for C.B.T.T.W.W.W. to be a good long and deserving chapter... Peace...

What Were We Stoned…

By: Kathy-Lynn Brown

Brooke slammed the door behind her as she left Lucas's bedroom. How could she have been so dumb to think that Lucas really loved her? That he wasn't using her to get to Peyton which obviously worked since she saw them together on the web cam.

Brooke had no ideal where she was going. She had to get away, the pain that she felt was something she had never allowed herself to feel. She never let herself fall for anyone. She was afraid of the aftermath. She would be the heartbreaker in the relationships, not the other way.

The wind gently blew as Brooke walked down the street. She was in a daze, just walking with her arms folded across her chest. She didn't even see the car coming up the road as she started across the street. The car squeeled as it slammed on its breaks stopping just short of Brooke. She didn't stop she just kept walking to the other side of the street.

Nathan shook the fear from his head. He got out of the car and started towards her. "Brooke,… Brooke,… what the hell, you could have been killed back there." He said as he caught up with her.

She didn't acknowledge him. She just walked on like she was the only person in the world. How could Lucas pick Peyton over her? She thought to herself.

Nathan grabbed her by the shoulder turning her to him. "Brooke, I could have killed you. What's wrong with you?" He was angery that she just kept walking. But when he looked into her Zombie eyes he felt his heart melt for her. He knew that Lucas had to have hurt her. "Oh, Brooke." He said as he pulled her in for a hug.

She couldn't get her lips to move. She wanted to scream from the mountain tops. She wanted to say that she hated Lucas for hurting her. But it was if her voice box had been removed. She just rested her head on Nathan's chest as he embraced her tightly.

"C'mon, let me take you home." He said as he led her back over to his car.

Nathan poured two cups of coffee and took them up to his room to were Brooke was sitting on the bed staring at the window. He placed the cups on the dresser and walked over taking a seat next to her. He was going to take her home but he knew her parents were in New York and he didn't want her to be alone.

"You okay?" He asked.

"I will be." She smiled tightly. "Thanks for bringing me here."

"We'll I couldn't really leave a zombie wandering the streets." He laughed trying to get her to smile. Which finally worked. "I brought you some coffee." He nodded towards the dresser. "I thought we could talk if your ready."

"Got any vodka?" She grinned as she turned to look at him resting her chin on her shoulder.

He got down on one knee and took a box from beneath his bed. He opened it to reveal a bottle with Vodka in it. He held it up for her to see. "Just for emergencies."

"This is definelty that."

He took two plastic cups from the box and poured them half full of the clear pain killer. "So spill it. What did Lucas do?" He said as he handed her the cup.

She took a big sip turning the whole cup up and downing it in one sip. She handed it back for a refill. "I'm gonna need a few more of those first."

Nathan shook his head. He'd never seen a girl drink like Brooke Davis could. But then with parents never at home and with being in love with someone like Lucas how else could she cope with everyday life?

"Lucas and Peyton have been sneeking around behind my back. Today Lucas told me that he wanted to be with Peyton and that he is sorry he hurt me." Brooke took another sip of the vodka. "Can you believe that?"

"He's an idiot, Brooke Davis. That's all I can say about him."

Brooke grinned as she fell backwards onto the bed. She let the cup fall slowly from her hand onto the floor. "Oops…" She placed her hand over her mouth as she slightly burped.

Nathan smiled and he leaned back on the bed next to her. "Life is something, huh, Brooke?"

"What do you mean?"

"Last year it was as if Lucas didn't exsist. Then here he is destroying both of our lifes."

"Who would have thought it?" Brooke said trying to keep her eyes from closing.

Nathan noticed her eyes as they finally gave into the tiredness that she felt. He put his arm beneath her head and closed his eyes. She felt pleasant next to him. Like she belonged there.

It was 2:00 in the morning when Nathan opened his eyes to find Brooke cuddled up next to him with her leg across his body. She wiggled a slightly as she begin to wake up. Nathan placed his hand on her hip. She opened her eyes to see Nathan as he leaned close to her lips.

"Nathan,?"

He begin to kiss her passionately. It was if he had no control over his body. She looked breathetaking lying next to him. He ripped her blouse from her body as he climbed ontop of her. He traced her collar bone with his lips. Slowly finding his way down to her breast.

The next morning Brooke woke up to find herself unclothed in Nathan's bed. Nathan still lying asleep next to her. She held her head as a sharp pain hit her head. How could she have been so stupid. She had hoped that the whole incident was a dream. But she couldn't stop herself the way he touched her. She had totally forgotten about Lucas and Peyton.

The door to the bedroom opened up and Brooke grabbed the sheet pulling it up to cover her breast. Nathan wakes up and looks at Brooke and then at the door. Lucas enters.

He pauses when he sees them together.

"Brooke,…" He says disappointedly.
