Today was one of those days, you just had to get away. I guess you could say that today was somewhat of a cold day outside. It was a friday afternoon and classes were about to get out. Brooke sat practically on the edge of her seat, she was ready to leave. Her eyes kept glancing to the clock and everyonce and a while her teacher would yell "BROOKE! pay attention" and her attention would snap back to the board, for a few brief moments. She couldnt take it anymore, sighing loudly the teacher stopped talking and looked at her "Im sorry we are boring you miss Hewitt, the bell will ring when it rings" was what she said.

Brooke looked up and smiled an innocent smile. She was usually a good kid but today she couldnt sit still. She tapped her finger on the desk and looked at the clock, one more minute and she was free. Finally the bell rang. Brooke had to have been the first one out of the school because when she got on the grounds no one was around. It was a somewhat cold day she looked around. "I dont want to go to my dorm" she said to some random kid. "Im gonna go for a walk" she said. The kid was completly shocked she was talking to him.

Brooke walked through the school grounds finally coming up to the park. She smiled, Brooke loved to take long walks. She began making her way through the park stopping every once and a while to pet a puppy that ran up to her. Brooke found an empty bench and sat down on it. She felt a breeze hit her face and her straight hair lifted off her neck sending chills down her back. Brooke leaned her head back and closed her eyes

Jake hadn't bothered with school today, having woken up late and realized that nothing remotely interesting would be happening anyway. And he probably wouldn't have gone today either way, because there was a huge party on the beach tonight where he would see everyone. No point going to school, just for lessons. Jake got out of bed at around 12-ish, taking his time with breakfast and watching some TV before getting dressed. Lazing around the house was fine when you were in the mood for it, but he was feeling abit restless. He headed in the general direction of the park, lighting up a cigarette on his way. His parents went crazy if he smoked in the house, although he did it whenever they were out, so it was so much easier to go on a walk and smoke a few.

Looking around him, Jake realized he was almost at the park, and took another drag. Stepping into the park, he looked around, wondering idly if anyone he knew was here. That wasn't hard, considering Jake knew most of the people in Miami some way or another. But he was looking for someone he was properly friends with. His dark eyes looked around calmly, before spotting Brooke Hewitt on one of the benches, sitting with her eyes closed. He grinned, making his way over to her.
"Hello there darling." He smiled at her, sitting down beside her and flicking the ash off the end of his cigarette. "Catching up on your sleep?" He teased her playfully, before inhaling another puff of smoke. He breathed it out slowly, before leaning back against the bench.

Brooke sat quietly on teh bench. She opened her eyes slightly and looked around. No one was really out today. She pulled her arms together and rubbed them to get warm.She sighed as another cool breeze hit her face, making her eyes water. She rubbed them dry so no one would think she was crying. Brooke sighed and leaned back looking around.

Finally her eyes rested on Jake, he was walking around the park smoking. She rolled her eyes and looked over at a bunch of flowers. She didnt realize that he walked over and sat down and when he spoke she jumped slightly "Jesus, Jake! way to scare me" she said looking at him a small smirk on her face. Brooke turned slightly to face him. "Yes Iwas catching up on sleep, Im quite beat" she said looking at him.

Jake laughed, "Ye, ye. Dreaming about me?" He asked cheerfully. Finishing the fag, he dropped it on the ground, crushing it. He wasn't tired at all, having woken up late and just lazed around the house all day. He let his brown eyes wander around the park, not really focusing on anything in particular. Today was one of those days when everyone just wanted it to be over so the next one could begin. Jake turned his attention back to Brooke, still smiling. "So I haven't seen you around forever. What have you been up to?" He asked.

Jake was always happy, and today was no exception. It was practically his natural state of mind. His life was awesome, full of girls, parties, money and not much else. He had every reason to be smiling. Most of his friends were surprised that his energy level was constantly high without needing a steady stream of caffeine in his veins. He wondered why Brooke was so tired. "You not been sleeping or something?" He asked her casually, raising an eyebrow at her. He and Brooke were really close, but they hadn't spoken in a while. It was weird not knowing what was going on with her for a change.

Brooke watched him as he threw the cigarette on the ground. She thought about when she had first had one. A bitter taste rang through her mouth, she was more of an alcohol fan herself. Brooke shook her head and looked at him again as he spoke. It was true, Brooke and Jake were practically best friends but she never really saw him anymore. "Psh, you wish I was dreaming about you"

[/color] she said smirking playfully.

Brooke looked over at a few kids who ran by chasing a ball. She smiled and looked back "Well you are the one who is always busy, forgetting about little old me"[/color] she said making a pouty face.

Jake listened to her answer before shaking his head playfully. "You know, it's not healthy to be in denial." He told her, before grinning again. His hands itched for another cigarette, but he ignored it. Brooke didn't smoke, so it was politer not to. Not that Jake really cared what other people thought, but whatever. Her next words made him laugh. Jake wrapped his arms around Brooke, hugging her tightly before leaning back again. "Silly Brooke, you know I always have time for you." He smiled cheerfully, before carrying on, "Personally, I blame you for all of this, but that's just my opinion." He grinned cheekily, winking at her. He didn't really blame her, they'd both been busy was all, but he vowed to make more of an effort to see her in the future. He missed hanging out with her.

Jake felt his phone vibrate in his pocket and pulled it out, quickly scrolling through the text he had received about some party, before shoving it back in his pocket without bothering to answer. He'd do it later if he remembered. "So anyways, you ignored my question. What have you been doing recently?" Jake asked Brooke, turning back to look at her.

She rolled her eyes "Oh yes Jake, I do dream about you ALL the time" she said with a thick sarcasm tone. Brooke looked at him as he wrapped his arms around her, he was warm. She felt her cheeks get hot but she shook it off and looked at him "Why blame me, Im not the one who has basketball practice All th time"

[/color] she said winking back. "And besides, when we do see each other its at parties, and Im usually wasted or you are hooking up with some trashy chick"[/color] she said smirking.

Brooke rolled her eyes again "Well, I havent been doing much, me and Lex have been hanging out, other then that..I dunno Ive just been really tired lately, I guess its work"[/color] she said shrugging "See I answered, happy?"[/color] she asked crossing her arms and leaning back against the bench looking at him.

Jake chuckled as she spoke, "Hey laugh all you want, I know it's true." He announced, shrugging peacefully. Jake wasn't modest, but he never pretended to be so either. He grinned. "Aww, now that's not fair sweetie. You're at that cheerleader thing just as much as I have basketball practice. So nice try." He poked her in the ribs, before continuing. "Do I detect a hint of jealousy there? And be honest." He said to her in his trademark, carefree voice. Jake had long since adopted a philosophy about life. He didn't take anything too seriously, because what was the point? No one got out alive anyway.

Jake frowned at her answer, before smiling softly, his dark eyes still playful. "Ouch. Feisty. But you know I'm always happy to hear what you've been up to. But are you alright? You seem a little pissed." He was walking in thin ice, he knew. On one hand, he and Brooke had been friends forever and knew each other practically inside-out, but on the other hand, she was still a girl, and girls had really weird mood swings. It was never a good idea to pry if they seemed annoyed. It was often painful. But he wasn't too worried about Brooke getting mad at him.

Brooke raised her eyebrow "Or, is it you who dreams about me?"

[/color] she chuckled "Ah haha, tables have turned havent they"[/color] she said smirking. "True, touche. I guess we have just been to busy to see each other"[/color] she said shrugging. She still had a smirk on her face when he spoke his next words. "No not really, its all good, Ive had my share of trashy guys"[/color] she said smiling.

At his next words Brooke's smile faded. "Well thank you for caring about my life.[/color] she paused "Sorry if I seem it.."[/color] she said shrugging and looking at her feet, she glanced up quickly "I feel like Im acting Bi-Polar"[/color] she said "Sorry"[/color] she mumbled looking at her feet moving her left foot along the ground.

Jake grinned at her, "Of course I dream about you sweetheart." He winked at her. Jake knew that it frustrated some people that he wasn't ever serious, so they didn't know if he really meant what he was saying, but he wouldn't change it. Jake didn't lie, per se, but he wasn't really sure what was always going through his own head. He just said whatever happened to come out of his mouth.
He nodded, "Hah, maybe we're just trashy people magnets?" He asked thoughtfully, before laughing. He wouldn't have been surprised if it were true, after all, Miami was full to the brim with trashy people. You got used to it.

He shrugged, still smiling. "Of course I care about your life." He said calmly, turning to look at her, his dark eyes vaguely concerned. "And don't worry, it's all cool. But is something wrong?" He asked her softly. Usually, he knew everything that was going on in Brooke's life, however unimportant, but now it was weird. He used to know her better than he knew himself, but she was definitely keeping something in. It bothered him, more than he thought it would.

Brooke smiled slightly. "Who wouldnt dream about me, Im friggin awesome"

[/color] she said laughing slightly. Brooke tended to get very over confident with herself at times. She knew she could be herself around him and thats exactly what she was doing. His next remark made her laugh. "I guess we are" she said smiling "Well there really isnt any quality guys around here anyway"[/color] she said smirking again.

Brooke stifened a little when he asked if something was wrong. She shrugged "Ehm, no.. Im good"[/color] she said putting on a fake smile. Brooke wasnt a very good liar, she couldnt convince anyone anything. She looked at him "Promise there is nothing wrong"[/color] she said shrugging and smiling.

Shaking his head, Jake smiled. Sure, Brooke was awesome. And she knew it. It seemed to him like most kids around here had no problems with confidence.. But he knew that Brooke was just being herself, which was great. It was refreshing not to have to smile and listen to some idiot pretending to be something or other. Jake put an expression of mock-shock on his face as he gasped, "No quality guys? Darling, I'm offended." He chuckled, rolling his eyes. He was quite a player, so he understood what she meant, but still.

He felt her stiffen next to him at his question. She said that she was fine, but he wasn't convinced. Brooke was a really terrible liar. Something was obviously bothering her. "Ye right. Tell me what's going on." He told her, turning to catch her brown eyes with his own. As if he would believe that nothing was wrong, he wasn't an idiot. He waited silently for her to answer, keeping his dark eyes on her. Why wasn't she telling him? They used to tell each other everything.

She let out a quiet laugh. "Well who said you were trashy? You are average"

[/color] she said smirking. Brooke wasnt really sure what to say anymore, for some odd reason things were getting akward between them. Things werent like that before and she hated it. She hated the way she felt around him, why cant you just stop liking him and be best friends? she thought to herself. Brooke smacked herself in he head and realized he was watching her Uhmm..." she smiled and laughed slightly.

Brooke tried to avoid his eyes, she didnt want to tell him, but he was egging it out of her. Brooke sighed and finally looked up. "Im telling you, nothing is wrong!" she said laughing looking at him. She raised her arms in the air with frustration. It was getting colder too. She shivered slightly and wrapped her arms around herself rubbing her arms to try and keep warm. Brooke sighed, she hated the akward silence "I hate the cold"[/color] she said.

"I want to tell you..its just..." she paused "UGH!"[/color] she said before standing up, she was frustrated with herself she walked over to the tree across from the bench and leaned against it. She didnt look at him.

Jake shook his head in despair. "You know I'm amazing really, you just won't admit it." He decided out loud, looking over at her with a calm smile. Jake had the opportunity to go out with most girls here, he just wasn't sure he wanted to actually go out with anyone. He was a player, and to him, it seemed like more fun to have three girls than just one. But he rarely ever cheated, because as much as he sometimes wanted to, it was just really mean. He never intentionally hurt people. So he kept the whole 'girlfriend' thing down to a minimum. Keeping his attention on Brooke, he racked his mind to try and figure out what was bothering her. It sucked that they hadn't talked for a while, he had no idea what was going on with her. He was just a guy, his thoughts and feelings weren't as complicated as those girls' had.

Noticing her shiver, Jake put an arm around Brooke to warm her up. He was always warm, and didn't usually wear anything over his t-shirt, even in winter. When she said that she hated the cold, Jake ignored her. No changing subject, he thought to himself. He could tell she was frustrated, and didn't want to tell him. Or wanted to, but couldn't. "Come on Brooke, it's me. It's you. I know you. You know me. What's going on?" He asked, a little frustrated. Why couldn't she just spit it out. It would feel better once it was out in the open anyway. And they were like best friends, right? It wasn't like she could have done anything that would change that.. right? He wondered idly.

When she stood up abruptly and went to stand by the tree, looking away from him, Jake frowned. What the hell is wrong with her? He thought. He leaned forward, resting his elbows on his knees as he regarded her. Maybe she was in trouble? Or had done or said something? He tried to think of a reason, but he couldn't imagine why she wasn't telling him. Usually he was the first person she told stuff to, besides sometimes Alexia, but otherwise. What could be so bad that he couldn't know?

Brooke still stood leanign against the tree only glancing at him from the corner of her eye. She couldnt keep acting like this around him, it was bugging her and she could tell now that it was frustrating him just as much. Brooke sighed and looked at him finally. She walked over and stood next to him do you really wanna know? she asked looking down at him, she felt another cold brreze hit her face causing tears to fall from her eyes. Shewhiped them away hoping he wouldnt think she was crying.

Brooke sighed and looked down at him. She didnt want to stand anymore so she sat next to him, somewhat closer then before. He was infact warm and she was infact cold.. She smirked and waited for an answer its not bad...its just...it will make things akward I know it will jake

[/color] she said. Brooke knew Jake forever and she was smart enough to know he wasnt into relationships. Maybe she shouldnt tell him, well either way something was going to be said, andall Brooke knew is that she didnt want to get hurt.
