Chapter Two: Absents Makes the Heart Grow Fonder

In the last chapter we found out that Nathan was staying with Lucas, Brooke had yet to tell Lucas she was pregnant and hadn't talked to Peyton. While Haley was about to ask Brooke a question.

"Hey Brooke you know how you said if I had a problem I could talk to you?'

"Yeah" Brooke answered a little concerned for her friend

"Well when were you sure you were pregnant?" Haley asked seeing Brooke's eyes widen.

"Well after I took about 3 pregnancy tests and then the doctor confirmed it. Why do you ask" Brooke said Knowing the answer

"Well I think I might be pregnant"

"Oh Tutor Wife that's great, our kids can be friends" Brooke said happily while clapping her hands

"Well at least some one is excited about this"

Across Town

Peyton was feeling a little lonely she knew that if Lucas had to choose between her and Brooke he would definitely choose Brooke. She also assumed Haley would the same way. Leaving her alone enless she hung out with Nathan which she rarely did. She got out her phone to call Lucas "Hello"

"Hey Lucas its Peyton"

"Oh Hey Peyton, what's up"

"Well I'm just a little lonely I really miss Brooke do you want to hang out"

Sure I'm on my way home from the river court I'll stop by"

"See ya then"

"Bye"

At Rachel's House

"Oh come on Rachel let's do something all you do is mope" Brooke complained

"That's because I'm depressed it's all my fault if I hadn't flown the limo off the bridge Copper would still be alive and Nathan wouldn't be devastated" Rachel said crying

"Look I just need some time alone'

"Great now I have nothing to do and no one to talk to" Brooke sighed

"Why don't you just go and forgive Peyton you know you're going to"

"Well your right she didn't act on her feelings I guess I'll go talk to her, Thanks Rachel"

"No problem"
