"Alright hales thank you so much for watching him for a couple of hours … I just have some things to do" Brooke said.
"No problem" Haley said with a smile "hey Caleb, Amanda is in the back why don't you go see what she is up to" Haley suggested and Caleb ran towards the back of the house.
"Come in Brooke" Haley said letting her enter. Brooke sat on the stool behind the kitchen counter and told herself she was ready for what was about to come.
"Are you going to go see him?" Haley asked
"Why would I?" Brooke asked
"Oh I don't know Brooke maybe to try and work things out with him!" Haley said frustrated.
"Haley I don't think you understand me! I don't want to try! Haley the one guy I thought would never cheat on me cheated on me and with my BESTFRIEND!" Brooke said beginning to get angry.
"I know that Brooke but … but you cant do this! He made a mistake and trust me Brooke he is sorry for it! Caleb would be so hurt if you guys broke up … just try Brooke" Haley said.
"Haley being completely honest I don't think I can! I have gotten through a lot in my life but its too hard to get over this!" Brooke said
"Just try Brooke if not for yourself for your son" Haley said and Brooke sighed.
"Think about it … so if you aren't going to talk to Lucas what are you going to do?" Haley asked
"Well first I am going to practice my punches and then I am going to head over to Peyton's" Brooke said with a vindictive smile.
"Brooke …" Haley began.
"Don't worry Haley … I wont hurt her … or I will try not to at least" Brooke said and winked before walking out the door.
00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
"Coming!" Peyton yelled as she walked towards the door and answered it.
"Oh … uhm … hi Brooke" Peyton said shocked that Brooke was there.
"Are the kids here?" Brooke asked her hands in the pockets of her sweater.
"No actually they are with Felix today" Peyton said and Brooke let out a dry laugh
"Hooking up with Felix again are you?" Brooke asked
"No … he is the father of my kids though so he has the right to see them" Peyton said and put her hands on her hips.
"Can I come in … oh thanks" Brooke said and let herself in.
"Brooke enough of this bullshit what do you want?!" Peyton asked.
"I want to talk to you Peyton … ask a couple questions like why are you such an insane bitch?" Brooke said and Peyton rolled her eyes.
"Or why did you do it?" Brooke said "really Peyton why did you do it? You know seduce my husband?" Brooke asked getting angry as the pictures from that night came back.
"I didn't seduce him Brooke …" Peyton began but Brooke stopped her.
"Oh yes you did! You see I know my husband better than anyone! And he would never! And I mean never! Get into bed with another woman! Especially not skinny blonde bitches!" Brooke said as she got up close to her face.
"Ok you know what Brooke if you want to play hardball let's play!" Peyton threatened.
"You see I find it kind of funny how you still haven't answered my question! … Why the hell would you do it? To me your supposedly "best friend" to my son! And to my family!" Brooke said getting angrier by the second.
"Looks like you know what it feels like!" Peyton spat in her face.
"Excuse me?" Brooke asked confused "oh my gosh Peyton really get over it! It was in high school and you weren't even with him! Oh and my pain is so much worse than yours you have no idea! I am married with him and I have a son with him!" Brooke defended
"Brooke shut up! Just shut up ok! I am sick and tired of this!" Peyton said
"Sick and tired of what?" Brooke asked
"Of you! You hating me!" Peyton said "ok! He hasn't talked to me ever since you found out ok! So just get over it and leave me alone!" Peyton said and Brooke got really angry and pulled Peyton's hair and Peyton yelped in pain.
"I will give you one more chance before I knock your ass out right here and right now … what the hell happened? How did you do it!" Brooke yelled
"Alright fine! Just let go!" Peyton said and Brooke let go.
"You want to know how it happened? … Well I was really sick of being the lonely one and so was he … I was talking with him and …" Peyton said
Flashback
"Hey Peyton I brought you that list of CD's you wanted" Lucas said as he walked in to Peyton's house.
"Oh Peyton what's wrong?" Lucas asked as he noticed the teary Peyton sitting on the couch.
"Oh ...uhm nothing" Peyton said and wiped away her tears.
"No tell me" Lucas insisted.
"Ok … its nothing really I am just being a baby … the kids are gone with Felix today and I was thinking how I am alone" Peyton said
"Peyton you aren't alone … you have Brooke Haley me Nathan a whole bunch of people" Lucas said and rubbed her back.
"Not like that Luke … like I am alone in love" Peyton said.
"Oh" Lucas said, "Can I be honest with you?" Lucas asked and Peyton nodded "I know what you mean in a way … Brooke has been gone a lot more now with the whole business stuff" Lucas said
"Really?" Peyton asked and looked into his eyes.
"Yeah" Lucas said sadly "I miss her … a lot" Lucas said honestly and Peyton put her hand under his chin lifting it up so that he was looking straight at her and she went in for a kiss. Lucas was shocked at first but didn't pull away after a minute though he pulled away.
"What the hell Peyton?" Lucas asked angry.
"I know! I am sorry but we are both lonely and when you think about it this could help and Brooke would never know!" Peyton said
"Peyton I am lonely not a cheater! I never have been and I never will! I could never do that to Brooke!" Lucas said
"Ok Lucas just listens to me! Ok close your eyes!" Peyton said and Lucas hesitated first but did it. "Ok now imagine not being lonely! Having that person there to hold at night! Just imagine it feeling someone beside you again … keep your eyes closed" Peyton said and slowly moved in before kissing him again and this time Lucas didn't pull away.
End of flash back.
"Brooke, are you okay?" Peyton asked as she noticed Brooke's eyes were in tears but her face was blank.
"I am fine … Peyton you are a back stabbing two faced bitch!" Brooke said and slapped her across the face.
"You should know something Peyton" Brooke said and pinned her to the wall "by the time I am through with you … you will wish you were dead" Brooke said angrily and slammed the door as she left.
000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
"Hey … how did it go with Peyton?" Haley asked as Brooke walked through the door.
"Oh … well it went good … really good!" Brooke said with a smile
"Is that an evil smile I see?" Haley asked
"I don't know is it?" Brooke asked.
"Hey Lucas called he said he was going to stop by to night" Haley said as she chopped the carrots for dinner.
Brooke shook her head and said " why" in a sigh.
"He cares Brooke … I mean don't get me wrong what he did was … awful and it is going to take time but you will make it through this … he cares believe me he feels so bad" Haley said
"I know he does but it doesn't change what he did," Brooke said sadly.
"I know Brooke … I am totally against what he did and at this point I am hardly even his friend but look at it this way at least he is trying." Haley said with a small smile.
"So you're barley his friend? … Right now I am not his friend as a matter of fact I almost hate him … I know that sounds so drastic … but Haley it just hurts that's all … all I feel is hurt towards him and because he hurt me that makes me hate him … as for Peyton there is no doubt about it … I hate her" Brooke said angry.
Haley nodded sadly at her friend and said, "How did that go anyway? I mean did you find anything out?" Haley asked
"Yeah I found out a lot some made me happy and some made me want to shove a bunch of firecrackers up Peyton's ass and set her off!" Brooke said and Haley laughed
"Ok sorry … what made you want to set her off?" Haley asked and laughed and so did Brooke.
"Well for one she did seduce him … she basically tricked him into it … and for another she is just a total bitch … don't make me get into details" Brooke said
"Ok … what made you happy?" Haley asked
"He hasn't talked to her since I found out … and at first when Peyton seduced him! Lucas pulled away," Brooke said with a sad smile. Haley and Brooke both looked up as they heard a knock on the door.
"I guess that's him" Brooke said and took a carrot from the pile and placing it in her mouth. Haley sighed and headed for the door. "I need alcohol" Brooke said and poured her self some wine as Haley opened the door.
"Hey Luke" Haley said with a disappointed smile and Lucas smiled a sad smile before walking in.
"Hey Brooke" Lucas said and Brooke took a drink of her wine while raising her hand and waving as she walked away in the back of the house to get Caleb.
"I take she is still mad" Lucas said and looked at Haley.
"You think?" Haley asked and gave him a glare.
"How is she?" Lucas asked
"How is she? How can you even ask that! She is divested Lucas! I mean do have any idea how much this is eating at her!" Haley said
"I know Haley and I am going to fix this I promise" Lucas said
"You better … oh and let me give you some advice don't make promises you cant keep … it kills people take Brooke for example" Haley said and Lucas looked down ashamed. Brooke was hiding in the corner listening and she smiled at her friend.
000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
"Caleb stop it … give Amanda her toy back" Brooke demanded and Caleb did as he was told. Brooke hadn't talked to Lucas all night. She was doing her best to avoid him.
"Hold on I will be back I brought a couple of your toys they are in the back though," Brooke said as she got up and walked to the back. Lucas followed to no ones surprise.
Brooke looked for the bag of toys.
"Are you ever going to talk to me?" Lucas asked
"What's there to talk about Lucas?" Brooke asked as she continued to look for the bag.
"Oh I don't know... everything!" Lucas said
"Lucas I really don't want to talk tonight" Brooke admitted.
"Brooke come on! Don't want us? I mean come on I can't be the only one trying!" Lucas said
"Lucas! Stop ok!" Brooke said getting frustrated.
"Ok I am sorry Brooke … its just I miss you" Lucas said
"Lucas … please stop" Brooke asked nicely and left with the bag in her hands.
"Here you go baby boy," Brooke said running her hands through his blonde hair.
"Thank you mommy" Caleb said and took out his toy dinosaur. "Mommy want to play with me?" Caleb asked
"Sure why not?" Brooke said and got down on the floor and began to play with Caleb.
Lucas went down on the floor to and sat beside Brooke. Brooke was distracted with her son though. Suddenly she felt a hand go on hers and she knew right away it was Lucas. Brooke was fine with this she didn't want to make a scene. Then things escalated and his hand went from her hand to her leg. Brooke suddenly got up and walked out side. Again Lucas followed.
"Brooke what's wrong?" Lucas asked as he came up behind her and began to rub her shoulders warmly. Brooke loved that. One thing was for sure and that was that she missed him … her heart ached for his touch but then when she remembered the things he did she felt coldness not warmth. Brooke quickly came out of his embrace.
"Lucas you have to stop this!" Brooke said getting angry.
"Stop what? Brooke you are my wife still and there is nothing wrong with me wanting you and missing you.
"No! Lucas I am not your wife not today! Ok! You need to realize that we are separated and for a good reason too! Ok imagine this for me please! Imagine me with you best friend Nathan in bed naked our bodies sweaty and hot and our lips all over each other... oh and then imagine walking in on that! Do you understand me now?" Brooke asked in tears by now Lucas' blue eyes were full of tears too.
"You need to understand I need my space! It is too hard right now! … Look you take Caleb home tonight ok …I need to go do something … tell him I love him and I will see him tomorrow" Brooke said and walked away towards her car.
"Brooke!" Lucas called out and broke turned around "I love you" Lucas said honestly.
"I know" Brooke said and got into the car.
000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
"All right buddy it is time for bed" Lucas said and tucked Caleb in.
"Daddy when are we going to go home … all of us … mommy, you, and me?" Caleb asked
"I don't know buddy … but I can promise you I am trying my best to fix what I did," Lucas said
"What did you do?" Caleb asked
"Your too young to know … but it hurt her really bad" Lucas said and looked down ashamed.
"I miss you and mommy daddy," Caleb admitted.
"I know buddy … we miss you too … it has just been hard" Lucas explained, " I will fix it I promise" Lucas said and kissed the top of his head.
000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
"Again" Brooke called out for the bartender to pour another shot.
"Getting wasted at a bar now are we Brooke Scott?" Owen asked.
"Yes! Do you have a problem with that?" Brooke asked
"Nope. Just wondering what's going on?" Owen said
"Nothing" Brooke answered simply.
"Oh come on I am a bartender its part of my job to council" Owen said
"All right fine! But this stays between us … me and Lucas are sort of separated at the moment" Brooke said
"Why?" Owen asked
"Because he is an ass who cheats on wives with their best friends" Brooke said and drank another shot.
"Hey man your shift is over" another bartender said and patted his back.
"Alright thanks man" Owen replied and took his apron off and got out of the tending area.
"So Lucas cheated really?" Owen asked socked.
"Yes! Why is that so surprising?" Brooke asked
"He just didn't seem like the cheating type" Owen said and shrugged.
"You're telling me I married the guy! You know out of everyone I ever dated I was sure he was the one" Brooke said
"Are you still?" Owen asked
"I don't know" Brooke said sadly.
"His loss right? I mean he is the one missing out on the great girl," Owen said and Brooke looked up and smiled at him. Owen smiled back and Owen was shocked when he felt her lips hit his. It was a long lingering kiss and neither of them could deny how hot it was.
"Whoa" Owen said in shock.
"Well hell he did it why can't I?" Brooke asked drunkenly.
"Good point I guess" Owen said
"Come on let's get out of here" Brooke said and pulled him out of the bar.
000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
Brooke stumbled into his house drunkenly and pushed him onto the bed still locked to his lips. Owen began to run his hand up her shirt and he quickly removed it. It was getting hotter and hotter. But Brooke unlocked their lips.
"Stop" Brooke gasped out.
"What's wrong?" Owen asked
"I can't do this … not to Lucas … and not to my son" Brooke said as she stood up and put her shirt back on.
"If he cheated or not … I wont" Brooke said and Owen rubbed her back defensively.
"Are you okay?" Owen asked
"Yeah … gosh Owen I am so sorry! … It just hurts so bad … I guess I wanted revenge but then I realized …" Brooke began but stopped
"What?" Owen asked
"I still love him … all of him" Brooke said.
000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
