Passing Of A Heart
Chapter 4; An Instant In The Wind
[Brooke]
"Peyton!" I yelled banging on the door. I swear sometimes she was deaf. I couldn't wait out all morning, it was freezing and Jamie was waiting in the car. If Haley wouldn't have suggested 'all' my close friends helping me move into my new house today, then I wouldn't be out here anyway. Er! Finally I decided to just get the spare key and go in after her. Walking in, I realized that she hadn't really changed the place up that much. Once I reached the steps I stopped as a memory came to mind.
"Brooke Penelope Davis! Get back here!" Peyton shouted playfully chasing after me. I thought I could outrun her but was proved wrong as she caught me on the stairs. She had me pinned on the stairs which sounds extremely uncomfortable but it wasn't that bad actually. She was grinning down at me with a twinkle in her eyes. Her bouncy curls were dangling from her head and I could see straight down the red sweatshirt she was wearing. The black lace caught my attention more than anything. She knew that black lace was my weakness. Sneaky bitch, I thought.
"Hey baby," I began innocently, biting my lip knowing that it would drive her crazy, "you have a little icing right there." I pointed to her cheek where blue icing was currently occupying it.
"Wonder how that got there?" She asked getting closer to my lips. She had gotten so close that her lips moved on mine as she finished her question.
"I have no idea.." I mumbled on her lips.
"Liar." She replied smirking.
"Its mean to call your girlfriend a liar." I said pouting.
"You know.. One of these days that pout isn't going to work for you."
"Now thats a lie," I said laughing. She replied by meeting my lips with her own. The kiss wasn't deep and intense. It was sensual and passionate, just as any kiss with Peyton. After a few moments we broke apart. She stood up pulling me with her.
"I'm going to marry you someday, B. Davis" She stated kissing the top of my head. My arms tightened around her as my heartrate started to soar.
I sighed thinking back at the memory. I really hope that someday will happen, Peyt, I thought to myself. I continued up the stairs until I came to the familiar red bedroom. Their was a body underneath the covers and without a second thought, I toppled on the blonde straddling her.
"Time to wake up, blondie!" I squeled.
"What the hell?" Was the muffled response I got. Only problem was it wasn't Peyton's voice. I slowly pulled the covers back to reveal Lindsey.
"Whats going on in here?" Peyton's voice asked from the doorway. I turned to find a wide-eyed Peyton wearing only a towel clearly had just gotten out of the shower.
"Well.. This is awkward." Lindsey murmered then began laughing. Peyton and I followed suit shortly after. I slid off her and stood in the floor.
"Get dressed," I said pointing a finger at Peyton, "Jamie and I are going to be waiting in the car." She had a puzzled expression on her face but didn't question me. "Oh, you can come too Lindsey. If I get tired, I can use you as a pillow." I said winking. The glare Peyton gave Lindsey didn't go unnoticed as I walked out the door to go back to my car.
"Took you long enough." Jamie said as I slid into the car.
"Don't be so dramatic," I replied sticking my tongue out at him. It wasn't long before Peyton and Lindsey were walking towards the car, both women looking great. Peyton was wearing black skinny jeans, a navy blue shirt, her leather jacket and converse. Typical, I thought. She still took my breath away though. Lindsey was wearing black leggings, with a gray knee high dress, and flats. I had to admit, she was looking pretty hot herself. Peyton climbed into the passenger seat, as Lindsey climbed in the back with Jamie.
"So whats going on?" Peyton asked as I took off out of the driveway. Before I could answer, Jamie beat me to the punch.
"Aunt Brooke bought a house yesterday and momma and us are gonna help her move all her stuff in."
"You bought a house?" Lindsey asked with curiosity.
"Yupp." I murmured making a left turn.
"Does that mean you plan on staying here?" Peyton asked, hope dripping off her words.
"Yes ma'am." You could practically feel the warmth radiating off of Peyton after that. Jamie and Lindsey were talking in the back but I quit paying attention as Jamie started talking about a pink elephant.

"Ugh." Nathan groaned as he laid in the floor next to Haley. We were all sprawled out in Brooke's new living room. Haley and Nathan on the floor. Mouth and Rachel in the love seat. Skillz, Fergie, and Junk were also in the floor. Brooke, Lindsey, Mia, and I were all on the couch. Jamie had gone with Karen a few hours ago. It had taken us all day but we finally got all of Brooke's things moved in.
"What now?" Mia asked. Her and Brooke were currently hanging upside down on the couch, mumbling stuff about how everyone was upside down, like goofballs. Out of nowhere, Brooke shot up startling Mia which sent her into a fit of giggles. I knew the look on Brooke's face because I had seen it a thousand times. She was fixing to suggest something to do and there's no telling what its gonna be.
"Lets go to a haunted house!" She shouted.
Mia rose up and smirked, "sounds like fun to me."
"Me too." Rachel said getting excited. "Same here." Mouth murmured.
"Yo, I hearda this place up da road, its posed to be super freaky." Skillz added and Fergie and Junk shook their heads in agreement.
"I'm in." Lindsey added smiling.
"I'll go if Hales goes." Nathan stated.
"Ah.. Karen has Jamie tonight, so what the hell." She said as Nathan pulled her into his arms. Everyone's head then turned to me.
"Come on!" Mia yelled. "Just agree Peyton." She said pouting but I didn't bulge. Her pout wouldn't work on me. There was only one girl who could get me by using that pout.
"P. Sawyer, pleaseeeee come?" Brooke whined.
"Ughh.. fine." I agreed. There was no point in even trying to argue with Brooke.
"Yay!" Brooke yelled clapping her hands together. "Now how we getting there?"
"Hales and I can take Skillz, Fergie, and Junk. Rachel and Mouth can take Lindsey and Mia, then you two can ride together." Nathan said looking at Brooke and I when he finished.
"Sounds aightt with me." Skillz said. Everyone nodded their heads in agreement and we got up to leave.
Brooke and I were both silent as we drove all over the windy roads to get to this 'haunted forest'. I've never been one to go to haunted houses but it felt good spending time with my friends.
"You look good tonight." Brooke said breaking the silence.
"As do you." I replied. And she sure as hell did. She had on tight fitting blue jeans, a white tank, and a blue button up on with her brown boots.
"Thanks," She rasped smiling that crooked grin that gave me butterflies every time I seen it.
"I'm going to end up pissing my pants." She said out of nowhere causing me to chuckle. I honestly believed it though. She was always the type to get really scared, even watching some of the dumbest scary movies.
"I'll protect you. Now til forever" I said smiling. It had a double meaning, her and I both knew it.
She started playing with a chain around her neck. I noticed that it had been there every single time I seen her and it wasn't anything I recognized.
Letting my curiosity get the best of me, I asked about it.
"Who got you that?" She quit playing with it and the smile on her face vanished. That's a bad sign, I thought.
"I got it myself." She whispered.
I nodded my head and looked out the window, not knowing if I believed what she said or not.
As I was staring out the window, Brooke grabbed my hand. It startled me but I loved holding her hand again. The warmth of her skin and the way our hands fit together, made me smile.
"I really got it myself. So quit doubting me, got it?"
"Yes ma'am." I said. She tried taking her hand back but my grip was tight. She looked at me arching an eyebrow and I quickly let go. Awkward.
XXXXXXXX
"You can only go in a group of four. If at any time you get too scared, shout I quit." A buff guy with curly hair stated gruffly staring at us. We split into our groups which were Me, Brooke, Mia, and Lindsey. Haley, Nathan, Mouth, and Rachel. Skillz, Fergie, Junk, and some random guy.
"Now, all you need to sign this stating that if anything happens to you while in there that we are not responsible." The guy said handing us a clipboard with a piece of paper on it. We all signed but Brooke. The screams and scary music could be heard loudly from the woods and Brooke flinched with each scream.
Haley looked at me nodding towards Brooke. I took the sign and walked up next to her.
"Come on," I whispered in her ear. "They can't hurt you. I'll make sure of it." My breath must have tickled her ear because she shuddered but also she signed the paper.
"Time for the first group to go." The man said crossing his arms. Nathan and his group went on in. Brooke was shaking, Lindsey was listening to the screams with her eyes wide, and Mia was smiling. This was going to be interesting.
"Your up ladies." The man said opening the door. "Stay inside the caution tape."
The four of us walked in slowly not knowing what to expect. We were all cuddled around each other as we came upon a shed. The door was open and on the other side of the room you could see a door.
"I don't want to go in." Brooke whined.
"Me either." Lindsey whined also.
I looked to Mia and her and I grabbed the girls pulling them in the shed. Mia walked to the door on the other side but it was locked. Brooke and Lindsey took off to the first door but it got slammed in their faces. They beat on the door but after realizing that it wasn't going to be opened, they ran to us. Then the lights went out. A pair of slim arms wrapped around my waist holding on for dear life. I knew it was Brooke automatically. I felt the death grip as men jumped out of the walls starting up chainsaws. Screams filled my ears and I couldn't see shit. A red light came on and a body started twitching on a table. Mia looked to me and we both grabbed the girls once again, this time to get them out of this damn shed. After many wrong turns, we made our way back to the path. Both Lindsey and Brooke were both shaking and I had to admit I was pretty shaken up as well. We found our way to the second shed and paused to catch our breath.
"Come on in." Little kids whispered giggling.
"This is the house of fun."
"Hell no." Mia said. I don't do clowns.
"Maybe there isn't any in there." I said taking a step towards the shed, Brooke's arms still around my waist.
'Honk, Honk." We heard as a clown stepped out from the shed. His face was completely white, with his chin forming in a triangle. Green fuzzy hair was poking out all in different directions and his teeth looked razor sharp. As if on cue, Mia, Brooke, and Lindsey hid behind me all screaming I quit. The clown fell out of character and laughed.
"Jim!" He yelled.
A man in a red jacket walked from the shed with a flashlight. I assumed he was Jim.
"Have a nice night ladies," The clown murmured walking back to the shed. Brooke stayed held onto me as the guide, Jim, led us back.
"I feel like a wuss." Mia stated.
"Don't feel bad. Your first group of friends gave up there too and your other group of friends gave up before even leaving the first shed."
I laughed picturing everyone else in the place. We reunited with our friends and we all laughed, having to sign the wall of shame. We ordered hot chocolate and talked about why we gave up and stuff. It was around one when we got ready to leave.
"You staying at my place again, Linds?" I asked as we were walking to the cars.
"No. I think I'm going to go home. Talk to Lucas." She replied.
"Okay then."
"Wooo." I'm so tired, I said yawning. Brooke yawned too.
"Wanna stay at my house? That way I don't have to drive out of the way and I won't have to be alone" She asked.
"Of course." I murmured laughing. She smiled and so did I.
