"chapter 13- the truth is all we have."

brooke entered the bleachers to the game with her father & amanda. today was supposed to be for brooke and her dad to do all get some time together since he's been in milan for weeks. but of course amanda had to pry her way into the plans. brooke sat next to olivia filling the row. she looked over at her dad who motioned him and amanda were gonna sit a few rows down & brooke sighed taking her seat next to olivia.

"how long is he in town." olivia asked breaking the silence.

"the usual, couple of days. he's in town promoting his new line of boots that amanda helped him work on." brooke replied giving amanda a glare.

"you still don't like her." olivia chuckled.

"no. she's fine." brooke muttered.

"you almost choked on that fine." olivia laughed.

"i don't know. it's just still weird. she's not even his type. she's nothing like-"

"your mom." olivia said taking the words out of brookes mouth.

the game was tight. the score was 20- 24 and there was two seconds on the clock.

"touchdown." the announcer screamed & the crowd stood up roaring. beverly had won the game. the boys changed and exited the locker room coming out into the student parking lot.

"great game jordan." brooke said pulling him into a hug.

asher then came out the school doors angry approaching jordan.

"what the hell was that game about." asher hissed in jordan's face.

"you know ash, i pass to you, you whine. i don't pass to you, and you whine. we won the came asher. so shut the hell up and stop whining." jordan hissed pushing asher.

the rest of the team came out cheering and asher pushed jordan out of the way getting in his car and brooke followed.

asher started the car and they headed to the hangout for dinner with her father & amanda.

"coach thinks i'm a lock for all state." asher gushed.

"you couldn't tell by today's game, it was rough out there." steve snarled peering down at his cell phone.

"thanks to our qb playing blind." asher defended.

"hey, dad just got back from milan." brooke said changing the subject.

"that's cool. yeah my dad actually wants to take me sight seeing there this summer. private jet & all." asher lied.

"excuse me." brooke said getting up from the table and heading over to olivia.

jordan walked by and caught the eye of mr madden.

"you had quite the game today son." steve complimented with a smile.

"hey, i appreciate you i'm just glad we won." jordan said relieved.

"brooke tells me you've had a great season so far, keep up the good work son." steve smiled causing asher to get up and walk away.

asher approached brooke & olivia angrily.

"your dad doesn't like me. i'm taking off." asher said.

"oh, in your private jet." brooke mocked & asher rolled his eyes.

"hey you don't have to act that way to impress my dad, okay. just be yourself." brooke assured him.

"it's been a long day. the game sucked. talking to your dad sucked. jordan sucks. i'm going home." asher yelled.

"asher, dont" brooke said as he walked away.

"hey we're gonna head out brooke i have a lot of work to get done." steve said kissing brooke on the head and walking out with amanda behind him.

brooke walked outside looking for asher but he was already long gone. she sat on the bench, and out walked jordan baker.

"hey you okay." jordan asked sitting beside her.

"do you want me to lie or tell you the truth." brooke said wiping tears from her face.

"tell the truth, the truth is all we have." jordan said.

"when i started dating asher, things were perfect and now there just not. & my dads always gone or with her. it's just too much, i can't handle it all." brooke revealed.

"things will get better." jordan promised.

"you know jordan your the only guy in my life who's ever been real with me." brooke admitted.

"i don't know about that." jordan laughed.

"i'm really happy i have you, jordan." brooke said softly.

"i'm happy to have you too." jordan agreed.

brooke pulled jordan in for a hug and when they pulled apart like magnets their lips collided. all the stress and anguish brooke felt left her body.

"sorry." brooke apologized as their lips pulled apart.

"i'm not." jordan replied as he leaned in kissing brooke again.

olivia watched in awe from the corner seeing brooke cheat on asher with her twin brother.
