Part One

"There you are…what the hell is going on over here?"

Brooke had been part of every party scene and nobody realized just how far into it she got. Peyton caught up with her finally wanting some answers from her friend. Brooke didn't know why she was there all she wanted to do is just get away from her but Peyton wasn't going to let her get away that fast.

"Nothing just um I was just leaving…these idiots decided that it would be fun to break things."

"Right didn't think this was your type of crowd." Peyton says not really believing a word. "Is this what you do every night? You going to keep avoiding me and what the hell the whole thing was at Nathan and Haley's house earlier today?"

Brooke rolls her eyes and just kept walking forward. "Like you care just leave me alone I have some drinking to do just forget that I even said that…You have Lucas just go!"

Peyton pulls Brooke by the arm. "Your not going anywhere…we are talking about this now! We are supposed to be friends and you kept that all this time…I just don't get it."

"What's not to get Peyton?! We have known each other since we were eight years old. You were the one that could make me feel better whenever I was down in the dumps. We cried in each others arms during the real bad time. You were there for me and got to know me for who I am. I always have and will love you P. Sawyer. The truth is Lucas was an excuse to escape from what I felt for you. I thought it would go away but it never did. Your finally happy with him and I hope you will forgive me for announcing such a big thing. I just wanted to just let it out for once without holding it in anymore."

Peyton says nothing more watching Brooke head for her car. She didn't realize that maybe she herself felt the same way but she did have Lucas and she was happy, right? Brooke got into her car not really sure of what to think anymore taking a drink of the vodka turning the car on and driving off. She finally got her house deciding that sleep was overtaking her mind so just collapsed on her bed with shoes on going to sleep.

Meanwhile Peyton is back home to find Lucas waiting for her. "Hey baby is everything okay? Did you find Brooke?" He asked with concern kissing her on the lips.

"Oh I found her in between going whatever drunk fest." Peyton says with a hint of irritation. "Look I'm tired I'm just going to go to bed."

Lucas didn't want to ask anymore questions because even he too was surprised at Brooke's confession from earlier in the day. Peyton lay awake in the bed next to Lucas who had his arm around her. For some reason she just didn't want to be near him her thoughts kept going to Brooke.

~flashback~

Earlier that day…Brooke had a big announcement to tell everyone though Nathan and Haley had a feeling what this was going to be about but kept their mouth about it. This was a big secret that Brooke didn't want to keep herself anymore especially for her feelings for Peyton.

"Does anybody have any idea what this is all about?" Haley asked but everyone shook their heads. "This can't be good." She whispers to Nathan.

"I agree but I have an idea what it could be about." He whispers to his wife with a smile.

They both look over at Peyton and Lucas thinking the same thing. "What?" Lucas and Peyton say in unison.

"Nothing." Haley and Nathan say with a small laugh to themselves. "Nathan come to the kitchen with me please." She says as he gets up to join her in the kitchen as Lucas and Peyton look on in confusion. "I am really worried what could happen once she says it I mean this is really big."

"It will be okay. Brooke is a big girl and it will be a surprise for Lucas but Peyton I don't know…them two always had some kind of connection even when I dated Peyton I just I hope this works out in the end."

Haley agrees joining the other couple in the living room. Brooke finally showed up better late than never since she was always arriving past whatever time she picked to show up.

"Sorry I'm late anyways glad you all can make it." Brooke says turns to see Peyton and Lucas. *that should be me with her.* She thought to herself.

"Always fashionably late B. Davis." Peyton jokes with a smile.

*Great it's that smile. Come on Davis lets just get this over with and just go.* She thinks to herself trying to figure out what to actually as everyone is now looking at her. "Anyways I came here to say that I'm in love with Peyton always have and will. I'm sorry I got to go."

Peyton spits out her drink along with Lucas. "What?!" They both say where Peyton gets up to go after the brunette. "Brooke!"

Brooke looks back at her. "What is it?" She asked still walking as Peyton follows behind.

"Brooke will you just stop you just said you are in love with me!"

Peyton still not sure what to really believe. "Your not gay please tell me this is a big Brooke Davis joke?!"

"Its not a joke I'm in love with you P. Sawyer always will be but I can't do this right now…go back to broody and quit following me." She says bluntly.

~end of flashback~

*What the hell am I going to do with you Brooke?* Peyton thought to herself finally going to sleep.
