Forever my cheerleader

The last few days of school

Beaus PoV

"Hey whitey" I sigh walking up next to our coach. "This is a damn disgrace Beau" he says whilst staring at Nathan. "You know don't you?" I ask him as he says nothing for a moment "that's the thing about basketball or any sport that's recorded. It's there for eternity...when Lucas came to my door and owned up to the point shaving...I went back and looked at that game. What I seen ...was you and Lucas both looking angry and slightly betrayed...Nathan's face ...well he showed guilty and desperation. You can tell a lot in someone's face Beau...the face tells the truth". Whitey turns and walks away as I stand staring at where the conference is being held. "You ok handsome?" Brooke walks up to me sliding her arm round mine as I nod "yeh I'm ok. Are you ok beautiful?". Brooke smiles at me sadly and nods as Nathan and Haley walk out of the school and up to the microphone, it should be Lucas though? All cameras pointed on Nathan as he begins his speech "when I was two years old, I made my first basket. When I was six, basketball went from being a game to a sport. Since then Iv played 7,072 officially minutes. Probably 20 or 30,000 unofficial. But for 32 minutes this season, over the course of two games... I did not compete to the best of my ability. I regret this. I regret the fear of loosing the opportunity to continue playing the game I have always loved....preventing me from standing up and taking full responsibility for this sooner. I apologise to my coach...my teammates in particular my brother and my sister in law who I'm fortunate enough to play with... and to all the kids who look up to me. Especially to the kids. And while I never lost a game on purpose, the truth is still the truth. And you can spin it and shade it and bend it but there's still right and wrong, and I was wrong. And the truth is Iv forsaken a game that's always been incredible good to me. To my coach, my wife and my family I apologise".

Brooke's PoV

"Do you know what today is p, sawyer?" I ask Peyton skipping over to the table she's sitting at and sitting next to her. "Shot in the dark...year book day?" She smiles lifting her year book full on teasing me for being excited. "No it's the last Wednesday of high school" I smugly reply that she was wrong about year book. "The beginning of the end" Peyton says dampening the mood "do you always have to put a dark and twisted spin on things? My point is that after this week we have to figure out it what we're going to do with our lives". "Oh I thought you already did that...what does the year book say?" Peyton flips open the year book landing on my picture. "Brooke Davis - goal... to hear an Oscar winner tell Joan rivers 'I'm wearing Brooke Davis' Joan rivers?" She again teases me as I reply "come on it was her or Ryan seacrest". "Oh good choice" she nods as I grab the book "what does the future hold for Peyton sawyer?? Let's see. Goal...it's blank. How predictable! That's what I call ambition. Think maybe it's time you aim for something?". "Well I already have. I applied for this internship with Sire Records a few months ago and I just found out I got it" my jaw drops in genuine happiness for Peyton as I ask "seriously?". "They need an answer as soon as possible" she replies as I playfully smack her shoulder "so, say yes". "It's in New York" she replies as an idea pops into my head "that's perfect. We can spend the summer together in New York City. My parents are there". "I just have to tell Lucas" her gaze drops to the table as I tilt my head "Peyton he's going to be happy for you. Just like I am". "Yeh ...what about you and Beau?" She asks as the sinking feeling hits my stomach again...whenever I think of us moving this feeling hits me "we are going to try and work it out...don't want to loose her you know". Peyton smiles at me sadly and nods "yep ...I know".

Beaus PoV

"So if I'm a famous basketball player and I get interviewed ...do I get a Brooke Davis original?" I ask Brooke leaning next to her locker as she turns and smiles at me. "You always get a Brooke Davis original" she smiles leaning into me and placing her lips on mine. "So when do I get your year book? To write my undying love for you" I smile as she steps back and reaches back into her locker. "Here...and where's yours?" She asks as I pull my bag off my back and hand her mine. "Iv left you a whole page" she smiles as we swap books and I throw my bag back on my back. "So Iv to fill the whole page? That's a lot of space to just write ...love you from Beau" I smile as Brooke playfully glares at me. "If that's all you write then fine...but just remember...if I pour my heart out in your year book and you don't do the same in mine ...there's other ways I can ...what's the word...frustrate you" Brooke raises her eyebrow in a totally hot way as I laugh nervously. "Well played Brooke" I laugh as she leans into me closing her locker "walk me to class?" "Of course beautiful".
