“Mouth!”
“Mouth!”
“Mouth!” Brooke tried one more time, walking round to where he was leaning on the kitchen counter and poking him in the stomach “Now I know you love me and everything but seriously when have you ever had nothing to say unless, you came here looking for Rachel, and in that case she’s out with some random guy of the week, no, make that the day” Brooke giggled to herself but stopped as she realised Mouth wasn’t saying anything.
“What’s the matter Mouth?”
“Do you miss Lucas?” Mouth uttered.
Brooke was totally surprised by his random question “Erm, where is this coming from Mouth?”
“Mouth!”
“Mouth!” Brooke tried one more time, walking round to where he was leaning on the kitchen counter and poking him in the stomach “Now I know you love me and everything but seriously when have you ever had nothing to say unless, you came here looking for Rachel, and in that case she’s out with some random guy of the week, no, make that the day” Brooke giggled to herself but stopped as she realised Mouth wasn’t saying anything.
“What’s the matter Mouth?”
“Do you miss Lucas?” Mouth uttered.
Brooke was totally surprised by his random question “Erm, where is this coming from Mouth?”
As if he had been frozen all this time, Mouth turned to face Brooke. “It’s just after the accident you don’t talk about him that much”
Brooke began to walk over to the fridge, getting out a bottle of water and offering one to Mouth she said casually “Because there’s nothing to talk about, he’s with Peyton and I’m… not” She laughed, trying to make light of a topic which was anything but light.
Mouth nodded but Brooke knowing better went over to him and said softly “I’m glad he’s okay after his heart attack and part of me is glad Peyton was there for him. I guess them two getting together was inevitable I mean, its always been me and Lucas or Peyton and Lucas and I guess when I remove myself from the equation its just Lucas and Peyton” She paused and sighed as if to convince herself and said “The way it should be. Now come on Mouth I know you didn’t come round to hear me go on about the love triangle from hell… what’s up?”
“It’s about Lucas...” Mouth confessed “I’ve kinda been keeping something from him”
“Let me guess” Brooke said playfully “You’re in love with him too” but Mouth didn’t laugh, instead he continued “It’s about the shooting” Brooke’s eyes narrowed “Mouth…” she began to say, but he interrupted her “I saw who shot Keith”
“What?” Brooke was staring at Mouth intensely “It was Dan” Mouth said so quickly he didn’t know if he actually said it “It was Dan, I saw him pick the gun of Jimmy’s lifeless body and shoot Keith”
Brooke stepped back in shock “We have to tell Lucas and Karen, Karen’s with Dan right now, he’s helping her get some stuff for the baby, come on I’ll drive you…”
“NO!” Brooke stopped and looked at Mouth to check he had actually said no. It’s not that Mouth had shouted particularly loudly it was that he had actually raised his voice.
“What do you mean, ‘no’ Mouth. We have to tell someone!”
“No, we can’t okay because no one is going to believe me” Brooke looked confused but just as she was about to speak Mouth continued “And I’ve done some stuff”
“What stuff Mouth?”
“Just some stuff. So, I begging you, please, people can’t find out, not this way. We have to keep it a secret.”
Brooke was starting to get anxious and began fiddling with the cutlery in the first draw “What do you mean… we? I can’t do this, not to Lucas”
“We can do it; we can keep it a secret un…”
Brooke interrupted “Keep it a secret? Keep it a secret?” Her voice began to get louder “The best way to keep a secret is not to say anything at all but you’ve already ruined that”
“Brooke please.”
“I have to go Mouth, I promised I’d help Haley out with some stuff since she’s got back from hospital” Brooke grabbed her keys and headed for the door.
Mouth followed her to the door. “You won’t say anything Brooke, will you, promise me.”
Brooke took one look at Mouth and walked out the door, not answering the question because at this point, she honestly didn’t know.
Mouth nodded but Brooke knowing better went over to him and said softly “I’m glad he’s okay after his heart attack and part of me is glad Peyton was there for him.
