Sorry for the wait. My laptop wasn't working. Thank you for everyone who is reviewing and reading. You guys are the best.
The next day was the last day of school. "Brooke!" a man's voice said when she got to school. She turned around to see Jake looking at her. "I got your email. This should be fun, shouldn't it?" he asked. "I mean, I don't know them like you do."
"You'll be fine. Everyone already likes you for how much I've been talking you up," she told him.
"Are you sure?" Jake was excited, he couldn't lie. He couldn't wait until he could spend the week with Peyton, the girl of his dreams.
Brooke nodded. She looked passed him, leaned in and kissed him. "Brooke, I, I don't feel that way—" he started saying after they had broken off the kiss.
She kept her body in his arms. "Peyton was looking," she whispered.
He laughed. "You're the best Brooke." He looked passed her, leaned in and kissed her. Brooke looked flustered. "Lucas was looking," he whispered back.
Brooke turned to see Lucas looking more confused than ever. "Bye Jake," she said as she smacked his ass. "Lucas!" she screamed after him, not forgiving, but excited.
Lucas stopped and exhaled.
"How are you? I heard about the break up, must be tough."
He nodded annoyingly. "Yeah," he simply said.
"You know, back there," she said as she pointed to where her and Jake just stood. "It wasn't—"
"Real? Then why'd you do it?" he asked, actually curious to know the answer to this.
Brooke frowned. She really didn't want to tell Lucas that she had kissed him first because Peyton was looking. Especially since they had just broken up. "Why are you so weird around me?" she decided to change the subject. "I mean, ever since you broke up with Peyton, I'd think you would talk to me more," she said.
"Answer my question," Lucas demanded.
"I don't really want to tell you," she told the truth.
Lucas scoffed. "Because it was real." And before Brooke could defend herself, Lucas left.
"What was that about?" a girl's voice said. Brooke turned around and saw Haley's blonde hair. "Hey Tigger, what was that about?"
"Tigger?" Brooke asked, obviously confused.
Haley smiled. "Yeah, you're really happy, and cheery. So, Tigger," she defined.
"Fine, I'll have a nickname for you. Tutor Girl. Or Tutor Wife as I hear it," Brooke teased. "Hales, you're married!"
Haley showed a small smile. She honestly didn't want to talk about marriage with Brooke. She was probably being sarcastic and thought it was really stupid.
"I think it's great!" Brooke shouted, reading Haley's mind.
"Really?"
"Yeah!"
"Cool!" Haley said as she hugged Brooke. "So seriously, what was that chat with Lucas about?" Brooke looked down. "Whatever it is, I can help you." Brooke looked back up at Haley.
Brooke was comfortable on Lucas' bed. She had gotten in by Haley, who knew a trick to unlock the door going directly into his room. Brooke first checked if Karen was home, because if she was and found Brooke lying on Lucas' bed, she might think the wrong thing.
Lucas walked into his house, not expecting to see anyone, let alone Brooke. "Hey there," she said in a small tone.
"Brooke," he said in the same tone as earlier this morning.
"Luke, please listen."
"I don't want to listen," Lucas said. "Now leave," he forced. Lucas walked back to the door and held it open so Brooke would get the hint. "Brooke."
She exhaled and got up. "Jake and I are not together, he kissed me because I kissed him because Peyton was looking and he wanted her. So I kissed him," she said when she was two feet away from Lucas. "Sorry," Brooke said as she shrugged.
Lucas nodded and walked closer to Brooke. "Can I just do something?" he said as he cupped her face. He brought her close to him and kissed her. It was a sweet, tender kiss. A kiss that had spark, and umph. A kiss that made Brooke melt inside. Lucas then pulled Brooke away from his face, and opened the door wider for Brooke to leave. She did with a smile. "Brooke!" Lucas called after her.
She turned and smiled at him. "Bye Luke," she whispered in her scruffy, sexy voice.
Brooke turned around and waited to hear a door shut. Once she did, she made sure Lucas' door was closed, and she jumped up and down, waving her hands in the hair and laughed. Lucas Scott had just kissed her.
The rest of the week was boring; Lucas had been avoiding Brooke, and she had been wondering why. He had kissed her, and now he wasn't even talking to her? Whatever, Brooke had done that back in California to other guys. She got home and went on MSN Messenger.
A conversation popped up on the screen. Two people were in it. Ashley and Vince.
Brooke Davis: Hey guys!
Ashley misses her Brookie Cookie: Hey girly. How are you?
Brooke Davis: I'm fine. You?
Ashley misses her Brookie Cookie: Great. Except that I miss you. So, how are you actually?
Brooke Davis: Not that great. I miss you guys. Vince, are you there?
Ashley misses her Brookie Cookie: Yes, he should be.
Brooke Davis: Come out, come out wherever you are!
Vince: Hi.
Ashley misses her Brookie Cookie has left the conversation.
Vince: This is her way to make us talk…
Brooke Davis: Yeah. So last time we talked, you told me you still loved me…
Vince: Yeah.
Brooke Davis: Just so you know, there will always be a spot for you in my heart. If I ever moved back, I would run to your house and kiss you like I did that night we made up after the fight we had about Scott…
Vince: Why'd you say that?
Brooke Davis: What?
Vince: Why'd you tell me that you would kiss me like that? It just makes me want you more…
Brooke Davis: I'm sorry…
Vince has signed off.
Brooke cried herself to sleep that night. She just missed Vince so much.
The next day, everyone was coming over to Brooke's so they could drive up to her cabin together. Everyone came at 5:30 A.M. Brooke's eyes were all red and puffy. Peyton came up and talked to her. "Brooke, can I talk to you?" she asked.
She nodded and bit her bottom lip again. Peyton led her away from the group who were putting their suitcases in Brooke's parents black SUV. "What's up?" Brooke asked Peyton, trying to sound happy.
"Why were you crying last night?" Peyton asked, looking into Brooke's eyes.
Brooke scoffed. "I wasn't," she lied.
"Yes, you were, I can tell."
"My ex boyfriend told me he still loved me, and I told him if I moved back to California, I would be with him, and he said he wants me. I just can't take it anymore Peyt. It's all getting out of hand," Brooke said, with a tear coming out of her eye.
"Aw, it's okay B. Davis."
Brooke looked up at Peyton and cried some more. "He called me B. Davis," she whispered.
Peyton tutted and put her hand on the back of Brooke's head and brought her in to the bottom of her neck. "It's okay. You can cry," she whispered. She held Brooke's shoulders and looked in her eyes, "But we need to go and talk to them now, so let's put on a pretty face," Brooke laughed and smiled, "Like that one, and let's go!" Peyton shouted as she put her arm over Brooke's shoulder and walked back to the SUV.
"Alright, so what did everyone bring?" Bevin asked. "Skillz?"
He lifted up a basketball. "B-ball."
"Mouth?" Bevin asked.
"Road games. Jake?"
Jake shrugged. "Myself? What about you Hales?"
"Food."
"Nate?" Jake asked.
"Well, uh, I brought Haley and she brought the food so…" Nathan laughed while others smiled. "Luke?"
Lucas lifted up two trays of coffee. "Peyton?"
"Road mix," she said as she showed everybody a burned CD.
"What about you Brooke?" Haley asked.
Brooke shrugged. "Well I brought my dad's SUV and my hot body," she said.
Everyone laughed and Peyton squeezed Brooke's shoulders because she was proud of her.
"You got that right," Mouth muttered. Nathan smiled and nudged Mouth. "So, let's all head out!" he shouted. "Who's going to drive first?" Mouth asked.
"I'll do it," Haley said. "Nathan, will you sit next to me?" she asked.
Nathan shrugged. "Why not?"
They all hoped in the car. Haley and Nathan in the front seats, Lucas, Brooke, and Mouth in the middle seats, and Jake, Peyton, Bevin and Skillz in the very back. "So how's your basketball career going Superstar?" Brooke asked Nathan.
Nathan laughed at his new nickname. "Well, it's going good. You know, lot's of scouts coming to see me play. It's all good."
"Mad Libs!" Mouth shouted. "Okay, this is for everyone. I need a noun!"
Lucas moved his head one inch away from Brooke's ear. "Why have you been avoiding me?" he whispered.
Brooke smiled once she felt his hot breath on her ear. "I haven't, you have been avoiding me," she whispered, but not facing Lucas.
"No, I haven't."
"Whatever, you kissed me, and now you are avoiding me. I've done that a million times to guys." Brooke shivered. Nathan took off his sweater and handed it to Brooke. "Thanks."
It has been three hours since the gang has left Tree Hill. Peyton was now driving, and everyone else was asleep. Her eyes were closing, so she pulled over and leaned her forehead on the steering wheel. This was getting too much for her. She exhaled and turned around to see who she should pick to drive next. Peyton looked over at Jake. He was so peaceful in his sleep. It made her want him more. Then she saw Lucas and Brooke. Brooke's head was leaned on Lucas' shoulder, and his hand was on the inside of her thigh. Even though it was sick, Peyton thought it was quite cute, but she was still wearing Nathan's sweater.
"Brooke, Brooke," Peyton whispered to the backseat. Brooke moved her head to the side. "Brooke, wake up!" she whispered, but louder than she did before.
Her eyes shot open. "P. Sawyer, what's up?" she asked tiredly.
"Can you drive for a bit? I'm really tired," she asked, almost falling asleep as she talked.
"Yeah sure, let me just…" Brooke noticed Lucas' hand on her inner thigh. "We'll just take that off," she said, taking off Lucas' hand. "Okay, let's switch," she whispered, going over Lucas' lap to the door. His head moved and he moaned as Brooke sat on his lap.
Lucas moaned. "Get off my lap Brooke," he whispered.
Peyton and Brooke burst out laughing, forgetting that everyone else was asleep. "Sorry Broody. Maybe next time I don't wake up with your palm on the inside of my thigh. But anyway, I didn't know you were so grumpy in the morning," Brooke said, still sitting on Lucas' lap. Lucas moaned again. "C'mon Peyt, get out of the car," she said as she opened the car door and walked out.
They both walked out and switched spots. Peyton was now sleeping next to Mouth and Lucas, wishing she could sleep next to Jake.
