"Come on Brooke it's going to be ok" Haley was rubbing her back back trying to soother her.
"I'm sorry Brooke I should have never asked you that but I only did it because all Lucas ever talks about is how much he loves you and I promised to help him get you back so I just wanted to make sure you felt the same way" Peyton was crying too and also holding her left eye from where Rachel had just punched her.
"Peyton I think you should just leave havent you done enough damage?" Haley said starring right into Peytons eyes.
"Look unless you want another beat down I suggest you leave" Rachel was using all the stregth in her body not to attack the bitch again.
"Please just let me speak for myself I love you guys for defening me but I can talk" Brooke now stood up and was really close to Peyton's face.
"Ya know I stayed with you for about 2 weeks straight when your mom died and then when your other mom died I was there for you again and when I saw Jimmy with a gun pointed right at us I didn't run or hide I grabbed YOUR hand and pulled you down I didnt even care what happened to me all I cared about was you. When I got dragged outside all I did was yell for you no one else and when I found Lucas all I could say was I lost Peyton I need to find Peyton and do you know what Luke did he went into the school and looked for you at first he went in because of Haley but then he saw the blood leading into the library so he went to look for you. He spent hours in there with you and the day after I went to you and talked to you about it and do you remember what you said to me you said you loved me and you were not going to hurt me again and I felt so relieved at the moment I actually believed you and I finally let go of all my insecurities about you and Lucas and I fully trust the both of you together again and now look at us about 2 months later and we are in the same spot we we're junior year and you are asking me for forgiveness and for me to trust you again Peyton I wish I could I really do because I miss you I miss you so much and it sucks not having you there I loved living with you and having you to call whenever I needed anything and now I dont have you I lost the boy I love and the girl I love all in the matter of two days and I dont think I will get either back again." Peyton stared at Brooke crying throughout the entire speach for the first time since everything has happened she felt bad for her actions and wanted to punch herself for what she did.
"I am truly sorry for everything I have done Brooke Im being honest when I say for awhile I didnt care about you or anyone all I knew was I loved Luke and I wanted to be with him at any cost and I was wrong in doing that when I did tell Luke I loved him and kissed him in the library I thought I was going to die I lost alot of blood and wasnt thinking straight I just remembered back to junior year when I was with him and all the feeling I had for him and I just went for it and now that I think about it no matter what I feel for him i wish I could take it back but I cant so please tell me what can I do to fix this please I will do anything"
"I'm sorry Peyton but there is nothing you can do last year I gave you a second chance and you blew it"
"Please Brooke you are my best friend even if I'm not yours you will ALWAYS be mine and I will ALWAYS be here for you and I will never give up on us"
"We have to go now the game is starting" Brooke wiped away her tears and thanked herself for wearing waterproof makeup then headed towards the gym.
"Haley please tell me you believe me" Peyton just needed somene on her side anyone to tell her it was going to be ok.
"I believe that you regrett hurting Brooke but I dont think you regret kissing Lucas in the library" Rachel locked arms with Haley and they walked away leaving Peyton to stand there alone with her thoughts.
*The game went by pretty quickly which Brooke was thankfull for she did see Lucas constantly staring at her everytime he was sitting on the bench but she made every effort to not stare*
The game was over and Brooke practically ran into the locker room while Rachel and Haley ran to the basketball players to congratulate them on winning and making it into the playoffs.
"You did it!" Haley yelled while hugging and kissing her husband.
"Nice announcing Mouth" rachel said with a wink to her friend and a big hug.
Peyton just walked up to Lucas with a smile.
"Congrats"
"Thanks where did Brooke go?"
"She ran into the locker room if you want I can go and try to talk to her for you just be by my car ok"
"Ok thanks Peyton"
Peyton walked to the locker room still unsure of what she was going to say.
"Brooke?" Peyton yelled out when she didnt see her so she walked towards the showers when she heard someone crying so she ran inside to see Brooke sitting in ball on the floor just crying. Peyton knelt down and started running her hand up and down her friends back.
"Please go away Peyton I dont feel like fighting anymore"
"Then dont just let me be here for you" Peyton pleaded while she pulled Brooke closer and now her head was resting in Peyton's lap.
"I dont want to see him I cant"
"Why not you told me you loved him right in front of him do you know how happy he must be right now"
"That's why I cant see him I am not ready to face him even though I do love him I still can't be with him I still don't trust him"
"Then I will help you"
"What do you mean" Brooke looked up at Peyton and Peyton felt as though she was going to break down she looked into the sad hazel eyes of her best friend.
"Well i gave Lucas a ride here because I told him a whole plan on how to win you back but if you're not ready then I will go take him home now and then text you when the coast is clear"
"Why are you being so nice to me Peyton I have been nothing but a bitch to you"
"I deserve it Brooke what I did was beyond wrong and I deserve to pay for it"
"Thank you"
"For what?"
"Getting rid of Lucas so I dont have to see him yet"
"Anything for you B. Davis but I am not going yet until Rachel and Haley come back here" Brooke just layed her head back down and kept crying for about a minute when the rest of the aquad came into the locker room. When she heard Haley and Rachel call for Brooke Peyton yelled out "In the showers!"
"Brooke!" Haley and Rachel said almost in unision they couldnt believe what they saw Brooke just looked so sad and she was being comforted by Peyton the person who cause so much of the pain.
"Hi friends" Brooke almost whispered.
"Here come here with her I have to go do something" Peyton said while Haley sat down and Peyton shifted Brooke's head to be in Haley's lap.
"Peyton thank you"
Peyton just nodded while Rachel went to sit down next to Brooke on the other side.
"Can we just sit her for a few minutes"
"Yes of course Brooke"
*Meanwhile outside the gym Lucas was walking towards Peyton's car when he heard Nathan calling him*
"Hey man how you doing?"
"Waiting for Brooke"
"BY Peyton's car I dont think she will be going anywhere near that"
"I know but Peyton said she will talk Brooke into coming her"
"Maybe you should just leave Peyton out of it and talk to Brooke yourself and stop getting Peyton involved isnt that why your in this position in the first place?"
"I tried ok you dont think I have tried I call her atleast ten times a day I text her constantly I have even gone to her house twice but she just completely ignored me I dont know how much longer I can do this for she begs me to fight for her but she never fights for me"
"She shouldn't have to Luke she didn't mess up and I know it's weird me defending Brooke but I have spent a little bit of time with her over the past month and she is really hurting and I've realized she is a good person and deserves to be happy"
"I can make her happy I wanna be the guy to make her happy because I know I can"
"I know it's just she needs time you crushed her remember when me and Haley were fighting it took some time but we are now re-married and happier then we have ever been"
"I hope you're right Nate because I cant live without her" Just then Lucas saw Peyton walking towards her car. "Look Nate I'll talk to you later here comes Peyt"
"Bye Luke Peyton" Nate just give Peyton a nod and walks away in search of his wife.
"Listen we should just leaves she needs a little time before she can face you Luke"
"But I thought you were going into there to get her for me I need to speak to her"
"She's a mess right now and I promised her I would ge you out of her before she leaves so please I need this I need to do this for her"
"Fine but I wont stop calling her until she hears me out"
"Fine but for now you need to leave ok"
"Ok" Lucas and Peyton got into her car and Peyton looked down at her phone and sent a message to Brooke.
*Back in the locker room Haley's and Brooke's phone rang at the same time*
"Nathan's calling Rachel you got her"
"Yeah"
"It's Peyton" Brooke looked down at her phone and read the message.
*Coast is clear Lucas is gone Call me if you need anything I am still here for you :) *
Brooke couldn't help but smile eventhough she still didnt trust Peyton and didn't want to be her friend it was nice to know Peyton atleast felt bad.
"We can go home now" Brooke whisper as her and Rachel walked towards Haley who was just hanging up her phone.
"Hey tutor girl ready to go" "yeah that was Nathan he's been looking for me som i am going to go with him are you ok Brooke"
"I will be thank you guys for everything but I am just ready to go home and sleep"
"Lets go" Rachel said as all three girls left Haley went with Nathan and Rachel and Brooke left to go home aswell.
*It has been about 3 hours and Brooke has been sleeping for about two of them when she heard something hitting her window she jumped up and ran to the window seeing Lucas outside throwing rocks. She looked over to Rachel and saw she was still sound asleep so she ran downstair to the door to see what Luke wanted.
"You came downstairs!" Lucas was smiling so wide now.
"Yeah well I didn't want you to break my window"
"Listen please just let me talk ya know when you came to me with your letters I tried to tell you how I was the guy for you and before I could finish anything you interupted me"
"By saying that I love you I guess I shouldn't have said that"
"Please don't say that Brooke just hear me out ok"
"Fine go"
"I am the guy for you Brooke Davis and I know I hurt you the last time we were together but if you please just take me back I promise I will never hurt you again or take you for granted, I know I may have done that a bit during our relationship but I never loved you less or cared less. I love you just as much as I did then now if not more. You are my pretty girl Brooke and I know right now you don't even want to talk to me and thats fine have your space because someone once told me that people that are meant to be together always find their way in the end and I truly believe that. I know you will find you way back to me"
Brooke was so overwhelmed with emotions that she walked up to Lucas and gave him a hard kiss on the lips. Lucas cupped her face with his hands and kiss her back with all the emotion he had after a few seconds Brooke pulled away and just looked into Luke's eyes.
"Wow I've been waiting for that for a long time" Luke brush a stray hair from Brooke's face. "Pretty girl"
"I should not have done that I am sorry Luke" Brooke turned to walk away when Luke grabbed her arm and spun her around into another kiss with him. This time she let it happen for about a minute or so until she finally broke free again.
"See I know you felt something just now"
"I did I'm not going to lie but Luke I am just not ready for this ok but maybe we can be friends"
"I will take whatever I can get but know that I will not stop loving you ever"
"Thank you for understanding but I need sleep goodnight Luke"
"Goodnight pretty girl"
Brooke and Lucas went their seperate ways and Brooke went to bed feeling alot better then she has in a long time.
I really hope you guys like this chapter and dont worry Peyton will get hers again trust me her and Brooke wont be friends anytime soon.
