Chapter 1
Brooke was on the phone screaming at her mother.
Peyton and Haley were outside on the porch waiting for Brooke.
"What do you think Victoria's done this time?" Haley asked Peyton whilst peering through the windows watching Brooke pacing in the living room.
"I've never seen her this pissed before, so it must be pretty bad" Peyton replied joining Haley at the window.
"remember when her mum sold their house?" Peyton looked at Haley whilst taking a packet of ciggarettes out of her bag.
Haley looked at the ciggarettes disgusted then looked at Peyton and shook her head.
"Um... well... no... i wasnt here... i was off touring remember?" Haley looked down feeling slightly ashamed
"You were a complete bitch with me when i first came back" she then looked at peyton who had just lit the ciggarette
"You were completely on nathans side you wouldnt even listen to my side of the story". Haley grabbed the ciggarette from Peyton and dumped it on the floor then stamped on it.
Peyton looked at her confused then she just looked really angry.
"WHAT THE HELL IS YOUR PROBLEM HALES" Peyton screamed at her
Haley looked at her incredulous "My problem is that all you care about these days is smoking and when you'll get your next fix. did you know your slowly breaking Lucas' heart". Haley just sighed then shook her head when Peyton said nothing
"i dont even know why i try your a hopeless cause and a waste of time" Haley said then went and sat on Brookes car hood.
Peyton looked back at her she took a deep breathe then said. "Im sorry i know ive changed alot lately and been a complete bitch its just well i dont know im really sorry im going to change back to who i used to be i hate who ive become so starting from here its the old Peyton Sawyer or the new one which ever" she laughed then joined Haley on Brookes car.
Back in the house
"You lying evil bitch, that's the sickest thing you have ever told me. Do you hate me that much that you have to lie to me to hurt me?" Brooke screamed with tears in her eyes.
"Brooke I'm not lying". Her mother replied calmly
"You have to be, I would know if I had a twin and a brother. I would know. Please tell me you're lying" Brooke cried, tears running down her cheeks.
"I'm sorry darling but I'm not lying. The funeral is in two days in New Orleans. Goodbye Brooke". Her mother hung up the phone before Brooke could say anything else.
Brooke just stared at the phone before throwing it at the wall.
"I cant believe it". She whispered, she ran upstairs and started grabbing clothes and dumping them into her bags.
20 minutes later she walked back downstairs with her bags and pulled the front door open, slamming it shut behind her.
Peyton and Haley looked at her surprised. They both jumped off of her car and walked up to her, before either of them could say anything Brooke had pushed past them and moved to her car to put her bags in it, they watched her unable to say anything. Then just as Brooke was opening the drivers side door Haley spoke up
"Your moving? shes making you move?" Haleys eyes started to tear up.
Brooke looked at them shocked to see them there but she then remembered they had planned on spending the summer together. she gave them a sad smile.
"Um im not moving im just well" She sighed before carrying on "Im going to New Orleans for a couple of weeks". She moved to get in her car again when she heard another voice.
"Brooke Penelope Davis get your ass out of that car and tell us why the hell your going to New Orleans when we had planned on spending the summer together" Peyton smirked when she saw Brooke start moving back over to them.
Brooke looked at Peyton who had her arms crossed over her chest then at Haley who looked rather nervous.
Probably afraid of whats to come but they definatly wont be expecting this Brooke thought with a small smile.
"We're waiting" Peyton huffed looking at her.
Brooke sighed before speaking. "Im going to a funeral thats in new orleans" Brooke paused before carrying on, her eyes starting to water up.
"My mum told me that I had a twin sister and an older brother, they were both murdered a week ago". She finished speaking then looked at her hands.
There was a couple minutes of silence before Peyton and Haley knew what to say.
"Oh my god, i cant believe your mum would have kept something like that from you". Peyton said before walking up to Brooke and hugging her, Haley copied her movements wrapping her arms around Brooke.
"Im so sorry Brooke" Haley whispered, not able to speak any louder.
Brooke laughed bitterly "I dont even know why im crying I didnt even know them, they're strangers". She pulled away from them and started drying her eyes with her sleeve.
"I always felt like I was missing something but I thought that was because my parents didnt give a shit about me but I guess it was my brother and sister I was missing. Urh i cant believe I didnt know." Brooke sat down on the steps leading up to her apartment.
Haley and Peyton looked at each other, nodded then looked back at Brooke.
"We're coming". They said in unison.
Brooke looked at them then shook her head "Guys its summer, you should be partying and having fun. Not going to a funeral". Before Brooke could say anything else Peyton stopped her.
" you were there for me in my time of need when both my mums died and now im going to be here for you in your time of need" Peyton smiled and took her hand then she smirked "Whether you like it or not"
Brooke smiled at Peyton then Haley said "And you were there for me during my break up with Nathan when no one else was. Now its my time to be here for you" Haley took Brookes others hand.
Brooke pulled them both into a hug.
"I love you guys." She smiled pulling away. She then looked at her watch.
"Ok we need to go to your houses and pack." They all smiled at each other then piled into Brookes Beatle and headed to the other two girls houses to pack.
1 hour later
The girls were driving out of Tree Hill when Brooke pulled up just by the sign welcoming people to Tree Hill. Brooke looked at Peyton.
"Could you drive for a bit? i need to make a phone call"
Peyton nodded, then exchanged places.
