"Whoa not my head their buddy." Brooke exclaimed as she stepped into Peyton's office, dodging a flying book that was coming her way.

"Sorry Brooke." Peyton smiled as she put her hands on her hips.

"It's okay. I just came here to see if everything was going okay. People said they heard yelling." Brooke said as she ignored Lucas and walked straight to Peyton.

"Yeah, yeah. I'm good. No need to worry." Peyton said giving Brooke a reassuring smile.

"Okay Peyt. If you say so. Well I'm gonna go. I'll see you at home later." Brooke said as she put a comforting hand on Peyton's arm and gave her a small smile.

"Yeah. I'll see you at home." Peyton nodded her head fast.

"Okay. Bye Luke." Brooke said as she passed Lucas and hit his shoulder lightly. Peyton watched as Lucas watched Peyton leaving only turning to her when Brooke was long out of sight.

"It's her isn't it?" Peyton asked. Lucas' head snapped up and gave Peyton a questioning look.

"Who and what are you talking about?" Lucas asked in a nervous tone. He felt like he knew where this was going and he didn't like it.

"It's Brooke isn't it?" Peyton asked as she gave a small laugh.

"What's Brooke?" Lucas asked Peyton.

"It's not me. It's not Lindsay. But it is Brooke." Peyton said as realization dawned on her.

"What the hell are you talking about Peyton?" Lucas asked in a shaky voice.

"Your still in love with Brooke. After all of these years I should have known." Peyton said as she leaned against her chair and scoffed to herself.

"Peyton your crazy. You don't know what the hell you are talking about." Lucas said as he gave Peyton a wavering stare.

"Lucas, admit it. You love Brooke. And I love Jake." Peyton said. She quickly covered her mouth after the part about Jake. She didn't want it to come out but it did.

"Jake?" Lucas asked as he gave Peyton a confused stare.

"Yeah Lucas, Gosh, we were so dumb to think we were in love. I knew deep down that I wasn't over Jake and you weren't over Brooke. But I never said anything." Peyton said. She was talking to herself more than she was talking to Lucas.

"Peyton I-" Lucas started.

"You're a dumbass Lucas. Why are you with Lindsay when you love Brooke?" Peyton asked as she glared at Lucas. Lucas didn't know what to say. He had always thought he loved Peyton but now that Peyton was yelling at him about Brooke. He started to think. Did he ever really get over Brooke?

"I have to go." Lucas said quickly as he turned toward the door.

"Tell Brooke!" Peyton yelled as Lucas stalked out of her office.

She sat down at her desk and put her head in her hands. She always knew that she wasn't what Lucas wanted. She wasn't Brooke and neither was Lindsay. She couldn't believe how blind she was. It was obvious Lucas was still deeply in love with Brooke. Whenever she came into the room. Lucas would forget all about her and Lindsay and focus all of his attention on Brooke. Oddly, she wasn't mad. She was okay with it. She was happy that she had finally found out the real truth about her and Lucas' feelings. She had always thought that in the end Brooke and Lucas would end up together. They were just so perfect together. Filling in the blank pieces the other didn't have. But she feared how Brooke would take it when she found out. She knew Lucas knew the truth. And that was that he was in love with Brooke. The hard thing was getting Brooke to accept it without looking to far into things and panicking about her friendship with Peyton. Peyton sighed he knew Brooke didn't have a lot of friends for the fact that her business ruled her life and her bitch of a mom. She wasn't going to hold this against Brooke. She was going to be there for her and support whatever decision she made. Whether it is get together with Lucas (because let's face Brooke was just as in love with Lucas as he was with her. She just didn't realize it.) or if it be let Luca all together.

She went into her desk and pulled out a picture she had of Jake and Jenny in there. She smiled as she looked down at the picture. The boy staring up at her was the boy she was in love with. Not Lucas. But Jake.

"Hey mom. You're working late." Brooke said softly as she stepped into her store and saw her mom sitting on the couch working on some papers.

"Somebody has to." Victoria Davis said without so much as a glance toward her daughter.

"Look, mom you can trust me. I know what I'm doing." Brooke said as she sat down next to her mother. "Mom, I know I don't say this a lot but I love you and I really appreciate you. I really mean it." Brooke said as she looked into her mother's eyes.

"Whatever. Lock up." Victoria said coldly as she got up from the couch and walked away.

Brooke sat there shocked at what just happened. She had just opened herself up for her mother and she pushed her away. She had just told her mother that she loved her and her mother responded with a 'whatever lock up.' Brooke really couldn't believe her mother. Maybe, Peyton was right. Her mother was a cold heartless bitch. Brooke tried to look deep down inside of her and find some good within Victoria Davis and she just got blown off.

Brooke quickly grabbed her purse and locked up the door. She decided to walk home and get her car in the morning. She walked down the streets looking at Tree Hill as she walked and saw what she never had. She saw a mother and a daughter coming out of a store with bags in hand laughing at something. She never had that with her mother. She could never laugh or tell jokes with her mother. It was all simply business. Her mother only used her for money and she hated that. She wanted a real relationship with her mother but she knew that no matter what she would never get one. And for Brooke it was just something she had to accept.

Brooke walked into her house and wasn't surprised to see Peyton sitting in the kitchen sketching something. Peyton looked up at Brooke with a small smile.

"Hey." Peyton said quietly as she took the earphones out of her ear.

"Hey." Brooke replied just as quietly.

"What's wrong? You look upset." Peyton said as her smile faltered as she saw the tears that threatened to escape Brooke's eyes.

"Nothing, I'm alright. I'm just tired." Brooke said quickly as she wiped away the tears.

"Okay, if you say so." Peyton said not believing Brooke but she didn't want to push the subject.

"So how did things work out with you and Lucas?" Brooke asked as she grabbed a cup from the cabinet and set it down on the counter and pouring herself some soda.

"It didn't." Peyton said quietly as she looked back down at her drawing.

"I am so sorry Peyton." Brooke said with a gasp as she went over to Peyton and gave her a small hug.

"It's alright Brooke. He finally found out which girl he loved and it wasn't me." Peyton said giving Brooke a reassuring smile.'

"Lindsay's nice but she got nothing on you P. Sawyer." Brooke said as she gave Peyton another hug. This time holding onto her.

"Thanks B. Davis." Peyton smiled and hugged her best friend back. Too bad it isn't Lindsay either.
