Chapter Three: Journey Down the Road
Brooke walked slowly behind Peyton and Haley as they walked down the road, her head tilted up at the sky and paying no attention to where she was going. "Wow, look at the clouds," she said to no one in particular and giggled to herself. Looking back in front of her, she ranover to Haley and threw her arms around her neck, interrupting the conversation Haley had been having with Peyton.
"Don't you think the clouds are pretty, Brookie?" She tried to snuggle in close to Haley, but the other girl just pushed her away. "Is Brookie still mad at me?" Brooke put on a fake hurt face and tried to snuggle against Haley's shoulder again. This time Peyton was able to save Haley as she pulled Brooke away from the brunette.
"Look Brooke," Peyton said slowly, as if talking to a child. "Haley, she's not interested in you. She likes Nathan."
"Hey!" Haley protested, but Peyton just smiled and ignored her.
"So she doesn't like me?" Brooke asked, hurt.
"No. Not like that. And she won't like you at all if you keep acting like this."
"But why not?" Brooke said, a genuine look of sorrow crossing her face. She looked past her friend at Haley, and other girl couldn't help but feel guilty.
"Hey, I like you Brooke," Haley said meekly and walked around to put her arm around Brooke. She couldn't stand seeing anyone looking like that.
"Really?" Brooke asked, her face lighting up.
"Umm... Sure..." Brooke squealed and hugged her tightly around the neck, nearly causing Haley to lose her balance and fall over.
"Do I get a kiss now?" Brooke asked hopefully.
"No," was Haley's quick response. She had to draw the line there. Brooke pouted and Peyton started laughing.
"Aw. You two make the perfect couple," the blonde joked.
"Shut up!" Haley said, letting go of Brooke and playfully slapping Peyton on the arm.
"Hey, don't get mad at me. Brooke's the one who's gone all lesbian lover all the sudden. I wonder how long it will be before that medication wears off..."
"Soon, I hope," Haley said with a sign, glancing over at Brooke, who was nowtrying to walkon the dotted line across the center of the road. "I don't think I can take much more of this..."
The group reached the gas station to find that it was closed. Peyton and Haley peered through the door at the dark room inside.
"Great!" Peyton said. "And no phone! What are we going to do?"
Haley didn't answer, but just looked around at the deserted gas station.
