Do you know how often I get total and utter peace these days? Never, but with Beau being away for an away tournament, I have utter peace. Not that I'm complaining because I love having Beau here and Sam. Although the latter gives me a headache sometimes. I'm sitting quietly on the couch in the living room, doodling...annoyingly getting inspiration by what Sam done to peytons wedding dress. "Oh my god you're totally inspired by it" Sam walks into the living room ruining my peace. "No im not" I reply slamming closed my portfolio as she smiles "you are, too. Admit it, your entire new line is gonna be based on...". "Based on the amazing couture wedding dress I had already spent 72 hours hand stitching for my best friend? Oh wait...that's ruined" I point to the tie dye dress hanging in my living room. "Your still pissed? It's been three weeks" She nods as I quickly reply "and you're still grounded". "Fine...so what's your version of grounded?" Sam asks taking a seat next to me on the couch "well...Iv been thinking from now. One week for exposing a five year old to depravity, another week for letting some skeevy fratvestite ruin peytons wedding dress, and we are gonna tack on another week for throwing an underage keg party in your foster parents upscale boutique". "That's it? Six weeks of grounding?" She asks as I scoff "you are not supposed to be happy about this!". "No I just thought that thing my friend Eugene did in the bathroom sink was gonna cost me another week" I arch my eyebrow raising my chin as it twigs with her I have no idea what she's talking about "you haven't been in the bathroom yet, have you?". "What did Eugene do in the bathroom sink? Sam" I follow after her as she walks down the hallway to her room. Before I get to the hallway someone knocks on the door "this is not over young lady". "Didn't say it was...old lady" I huff out trying not to go down there "don't kill the child. Just don't kill the child". "What?" I ask throwing open the front door seeing Owen. "Woah what happened to nice Brooke?" He asks as I just get more annoyed looking at him "I killed her and I ate her bleeding heart for breakfast, and I'm still hungry". "Right well if you see her tell her I'm glad she came to my game the other night and I hope she comes to watch the next one" he pulls a small bouquet of sunflowers from behind his back. "This is a friendship thing right?" I ask him taking the bouquet from his hands. "Mhm... yep totally" he smiles as I nod thanking him for the flowers "right ...bye now".
"Hi Peyton" I smile standing in my empty store as Peyton walks in. "Last time I checked I was your only customer...who else do you have visiting you?" She asks as we walk towards the desk. "Owen's been bringing me presents lately...trying to win back my friendship" I reply dropping my clipboard on the desk. "How does Beau feel about this?" Peyton asks as I screw my face up "Beau doesn't ever need to worry about Owen...I'm just enjoying getting presents". "Brooke...it's uncool to let Owen buy you presents everyday when we both know he would jump at the chance with you" I raise my eyebrows and look at Peyton "really? I'm getting relationship advice from the girl who waited three weeks to tell her fiancé that he's making a movie with her ex boyfriend?". "Three weeks and counting" she grimaces as I step towards her shocked "Peyton? You haven't told him yet?". "I'm no...but anyway changing the subject, when do I get to see my wedding dress?". "You may not need a dress, my friend. Changing the subject back, Lucas is gonna be really upset when he finds out you have been keeping this from him" I point as she sighs "I know it's just he's really excited about writing again... and he genuinely likes Julian, and I don't want my stupid past to get in the way of this for him". "You're playing with fire Peyton" I whisper looking up at her as she replies "you are too if you keep accepting gifts from Owen".
Beaus PoV
"I need to make it back for my brother in laws final tonight" I place my hands on my hips looking at the coach. "Ok as long as your back here tomorrow...take the team jet" he nods tapping his pen to his notepad. "Thank you so much coach" I smile knowing I'm gonna see my girl tonight. "No problem kid...just make sure your back at some point tomorrow and we will pick up practice again the day after" I nod walking out of his office and towards the locker rooms.
My finger hovers over Brooke's name...I can either call her and tell her I'm getting home for the night or I can surprise her at the game. Instead I scroll down and call Haley.
Brooke's PoV
"Have you heard from Beau?" Haley asks me as we take our seats at the game. "Actually no I haven't ...have you?" I ask her looking down at my phone and seeing her cute face fill my wallpaper. "Yeh she phoned me earlier...said she was really busy" I frown wondering why Beau had phoned Haley over me...but there must be a reason. "I miss her...three weeks is a long time without her" I whisper looking out to the court. "I'm glad...she misses you too" Haley pats my thigh as the players start to practice. My eyes catch Owen who smiles brightly up at me. "Whys Owen looking at you like that?" Haley asks me as I shake my head "I don't know...he's been trying to fix our friendship" I reply leaving out the gift giving. "He's aware you're in a relationship with Beau right?" Haley asks me as I turn and look at her "yes absolutely...I told him it was a friend thing. Of course he knows about Beau". "I'm just asking...he doesn't look at you like a friend" Haley points as Owen bites his lip and runs for the ball...what have I gotten myself into.
Before the game begins ...I really need a drink. "Do you guys want anything?" I ask grabbing my bag. Sam, Jamie and Haley all decline as I stand up and walk along the bleachers...towards the exit of the gym. I thanked the waitress and grabbed my drink to head back to the gym when a hand grabs mine. As I turn I see Owen holding onto my hand "hey Brooke". "Hi Owen" I smile wiggling my hand free from his grasp. "I'm glad you made it...your like my own lucky charm" he smiles as I nod awkwardly...I mean how do you respond to that? "Well Nathan's like my brother in law so...speaking of I should get back" I point behind me to the entrance of the gym. "Can I get a good luck hug?" He asks as I sigh "Owen I don't think...". "We are friends aren't we?" He asks opening up his arms. "Friends?" I ask him as he nods "friends Brooke". I step into the hug...his arms wrap around me and his face nuzzles into my neck...this feels intimate and I hate it. "Ok yep...good luck" I push myself away from him and turn to walk away...when I turn...I see Beau standing looking at me holding a bouquet of daisies.
Beaus PoV
What was that? Why's Owen hugging my Brooke? "Beau?" She gasps walking towards me as Owen glares over her shoulder. "I wanted to surprise you" I whisper hating how I feel at seeing the way he held her. "This is the best surprise" she smiles leaning up and pressing a kiss to my lips. "I really missed you" she whispers pressing multiple kisses to my jaw. "Brooke what was that with Owen?" I ask her as she leans back and looks up at me. "Can we talk after? Nothings going on I swear...but I want to explain properly when we go home" I look down at Brooke and for some reason I'm panicking...what's happened since I left? "Ok...do I have to be worried?" I ask her with a croak in my voice picturing the two of them cuddling a moment ago. "You have nothing to worry about...I'm yours...only yours" she whispers back to me as I nod kissing her forehead and follow her towards the game.
Owen keeps looking up at us...at me sitting next to Brooke. I don't like the feeling in my stomach right now...Brooke's holding tightly onto my hand as I try and concentrate on Nathan's game. But damn Owen's his teammate. "Hi can I get your autograph?" I feel someone tap my shoulder and when I turn round there's a young boy roughly the same age as Jamie smiling at me. "Of course little dude" I smile taking his pen from him and signing his top. "What's your favourite team?" I ask him, I don't assume the bobcats are everyone's favourite. "The bobcats!" He beams as I ruffle his hair "well next time we are playing I'll score a three pointer for you". His mom smiles at me as I turn and get back into the game. "Sights like that make me fall in love with you more" Brooke whispers placing a kiss to my cheek. I turn and look at her...I don't really know what to say. "Stop overthinking...there's nothing to worry about" she whispers placing her lips to mine before turning back to the game.
The buzzer sounds as Nathan lands the final three pointer of the game...securing the championship for them. Jamie jumps into my arms as we all stand and cheer watching Nathan walk round the protective glass. Then ...the guy who has been at Nathan all night emerges between his team mates and pushes Nathan through the glass onto his back. Jamie wiggles out of my arms to run to his dad as I follow after him. The same scene from a few years ago replaying in my mind as Nathan lays in the middle of all the glass. "Guys I'm fine I'm fine see" he wiggles his legs as we get to him. I sigh looking up at Brooke who looks terrified, lifting my thumb up to show Nathan's ok. "Daddy no more slam ball" Jamie shakes his head as Nathan looks at me, but hell even I'm scared after that.
Brooke's PoV
"Come on let's get home" I smile linking my arm round Sam's and taking a hold of beaus hand. When we walk out of the gym...Owen's climbing into his car. "Gimmie two seconds" I turn and cup beaus face, placing a love filled kiss to her lips. "Ok" she mumbles clearly uncomfortable with the situation...the situation I'm going to end. "Owen..." I shout watching as he stops climbing into his car. He walks towards me as I take a couple of steps forward...close enough that Beau and Sam can both hear me. "Congratulations on your game...when you came to my door...I genuinely thought you wanted a friendship...and I was willing to meet you on that one. I shouldn't have accepted the flowers and the small gifts you brought me after that. Because ...I don't think you do want a friendship...and I can't give you anything more than that. I'm with Beau...and I'll always be with Beau...as long as she will have me" i state crossing my arms, noticing his shoulders drop. "So there will never be an us?" He asks ignoring Sam and Beau standing behind me. "There will never be an us Owen...I'm sorry" I reply turning and walking to my family. "What did he bring you?" Beau asks with a smile on her face which I'm thankful for...I hate seeing her sad. "Sunflowers...an americano...and hersheys chocolate" I shrug gladly accepting the hug she's offering. "Rookie mistake" she laughs as Sam looks up at her and asks "why?". "My Brooke likes daisies...an oat milk double froth latte and Godiva chocolate" Beau smiles as my heart hammers in my chest watching her. I turn and look to Sam after placing a kiss to beaus neck "and that's why I'm utterly in love with her". "Not because she's hot as hell and plays for the bobcats in the nba?" Sam points as Beau shrugs, placing her arm around me as we walk to the car "you forgot my charming personality".
