Hey guys...
So you will be very happy to see this new chapter from me.
Well you can actually thank my brother for that since his playing Cod on the PS3 and I got bored and thought I'd write a little for this chapter, but once I got writing I didn't stop and wala a new chapter was created for you.
So anyway it turns out that I have the day off tomorrow, so don't be surprised if you get another chapter after this one... I'm not promising you anything because I have a few films I've recorded to watch, but just in case I do choose to write another chapter tonight.
Anyway here is the next chapter... ENJOY!
"Are you going to talk to me?" Nathan asks Haley as she walks in from work
"Where's Kadence?"
"I put her to bed about an hour ago" Nathan answers following Haley into the kitchen
"Okay"
"I made you some pasta, it's in the oven"
"I'm not hungry" Haley states opening the fridge door and grabbing a bottle of water.
"Haley we need to talk about this?" Nathan utters
"Okay fine... Talk" Haley puts her hand in her hip and turns to face her husband
"Peyton and I never slept together" He starts and Haley doesn't say anything, she just looks at him raising her eye brow "I know what it sounds like and I know what that picture looked like, but please believe me when I say Peyton and I never slept together"
"Nathan..." Haley breaths out his name trying to adjust to the new information he had just told her "I don't... what are you saying?"
"I'm saying that Peyton told Lucas that she never slept wither either of us and that she needs to speak to all of us" Nathan explains "So I need you to believe me Haley... Please say you believe me"
"Okay okay okay" Haley exclaims still sounding confused "Say I believe you, why would Peyton make it up? Why would she risk everything?"
"We don't know, but Luke and I think that's why she wants to talk to us all" Nathan answers "Lucas said she doesn't have much time left"
"So what... is she dying or something?"
"We don't know" Nathan says honestly "She hasn't really said much, just that she wants to meet and explain things"
"And when does she want this ti happen exactly?"
"Well she wants you and Brooke to agree to meet her first" Nathan replies "Once you both do then Lucas will arrange a meet with her"
"Okay well I want to know everything, so I guess I'll meet with her" Haley surprises Nathan whose eyes go wide.
"You will?"
"Yea Nathan I will. so tell Lucas and have it arranged" Haley walks around Nathan and to the kitchen door.
"But we still have a problem Hales" Haley stops at the door and turns back to Nathan "Brooke won't listen to Lucas... She hasn't agreed"
"I'll talk to her tomorrow" Haley states then turns back and walks out the kitchen.

I hear the front door open and shut just below Miley's bedroom. I pack away Miley's clothes I had just got out the dryer in her wardrobe and dresser. I over look my beautiful daughter and think back to when I first woke up and how happy I was to have my little family and now Peyton is back she's ruined everything again and Lucas had let her. How could he do that after everything she put us through? Why would he do that?
I walk out of Miley's room and see Lucas just take the last step to the landing. He looked up and his eyes locked onto mine. for a moment I was happy to see him and then the picture pops back into my head and I let out a small sigh and turn around to head back into the laundry room.
"Brooke... I really need to speak to you" Lucas calls after me, but I just turn the corner and head to the washing machine to put the now wet clothes into the dryer.
"And I really have to finish this load of washing before I go to bed Luke" I reply shutting the door and putting in the washing powder then turning the machine on.
"God damn it Brooke Davis you will listen to me!" Lucas demands shocking me. I turn to face him and see the seriousness written all over his face "I've tried everything and I hate this okay and I need you to listen to me and I need you to listen to me now"
"Okay fine!" I bark back "I'm listening Lucas and this better be good"
"Nathan and I were drugged Brooke" Lucas starts and a confused expression washes over my face "2 years ago when those videos were made... we were drugged. That's the only way she could do it" What... What was he on about?
"Lucas... I don't understand" I admit putting the basket I had on the machine beside me "What do you mean?"
"I never slept with Peyton okay" Lucas sounded adamant to that fact, but I wasn't buying it "Neither did Nathan, Peyton drugged us both and that's how the video was made"
"But why would she do that?" I question trying to process this information. I was trying to figure out if I believed him or not "Why would she risk our friendship like that?"
"I don't know Pretty Girl. I really don't, but she wants to meet us all to explain everything" Lucas tells me.
"Stop right there Lucas" I run my hand through my hair "I'm not meeting with that home-wrecking whore"
"But Brooke..."
"I don't care Lucas!" I shout not angry at him like I was, but angry at Peyton for having drugged my boyfriend and made a tape that ruined our relationship. She was meant to be my best-friend. The girl I counted on most. The girl I grew up with and this is how she treats me and after everything I did for her when she was going through a tough time "I'm not going to meet with her and that's final, now if you'll excuse me I'm going to bed"
"What about the washing?"
"I'll do it in the morning. Haley's coming over anyway" And with that I walk out of the laundry room and down the hall to my bedroom.

"I'm trying so hard Nate, but she isn't budging" Lucas tells his brother as he walked around his study room "I told her what Peyton told me, but she still won't agree to meet with her"
"Is she still mad at you?" Nathan asks
"I think so, but I now think she's more mad at the fact that Peyton drugged me and created that tape that ruined us. I don't blame her, I really don't because I'm mad at that too, but I just want to know everything else that she has to tell us" Lucas replies scratching the back of his neck.
"Well Haley has agreed to meet with Peyton and she said she'll come speak to Brooke tomorrow and try to get her to agree to it" Nathan tells Lucas as she looks in on Kadence.
"Oh that good. I think maybe Haley is probably the only one to get Brooke to agree to it. since they were both going through it" This was the only option Lucas had other than inviting Peyton over to their house and ambush Brooke which he knew would not go down well no matter what happened Brooke would have his head on a plate; so he was just hoping Haley could convince her.
"Yeah or we could just talk to Peyton ourselves" Nathan suggests
"Nah Nate I can't do that to Brooke. I'm already in her bad books. I don't want to make it worse. Let's just see if Haley can convince her and if she can't then we'll have to think of another way to get through to Brooke" Lucas walks out of his study and down the hall to Miley's bedroom "Okay well Nate, I'll talk to you tomorrow, I'm just going to say night to Miley then I'm off to bed"
"Okay bro. Speak tomorrow" And with that they hung up. Lucas puts his phone in his back pocket and slowly opens Miley's door wider and slowly walked in; he headed over to her cot and looked down at her. he leaned down and placed a soft kiss to her forehead before heading for the door again and walking out to his own bed.

"How many dates is that now Peyt?" Jake asks just after Peyton tells him about the date she had with Julian last night just before Lucas texted her to meet him.
"5 if I include the midnight call to my house" Peyton answers with a huge smile on her face "Hi really sweet Jake and I think you and Courtney would love him"
"Peyton I'm happy for you; I really am, but are you sure it's the right thing to do. You don't have very long left and you shouldn't get close with someone yet" Jake states not wanting to hurt Peyton, but trying to get her to see the bigger picture.
"Jake... I know your worried for me and I appreciate it I really do and I love you for it, but after everyone knows the truth them I can live my life the way it should be and I won't have to run anymore" Peyton replies shutting the drawer she was looking in.
Jake sighs "Peyton you're not listening to me. I understand that you want to live your life I do, but he won't let you and hanging with Julian will only make him vulnerable and you've done that already with Brooke and Haley; do you really want Julian to go through that too?"
"No of course not" Peyton utters feeling defeated. Jake was right and she knows that, but Julian seemed to be her kryptonite. It's been that way ever since they met last year in California "I just... I don't want to be scared for ever Jake"
"I know Peyt, I know"
"Lets just hope Brooke and Haley agree to meet me aye" Peyton mutters to Jake "I want this to be over"
"I'm sorry Peyton"
"I have to go Jake, but I'll call you later okay" She doesn't wait for him to reply. She just hangs up and throws her phone across the room... Watching as it crashed against the wall and smashed to the floor.

"Knock knock" Haley peaks her head around the door to see me washing the coffee table. Miley was in her play pen watching hr cartoons.
"Morning Hales" I say looking up for a second before getting back to cleaning.
"You're cleaning Brooke?" I nod standing up and taking the dirty water bowl into the kitchen to change the water "You only clean like this when something's bothering you"
"Do I?" I question walking back pass her and into the living room again "Put Kadence with Miley, doesn't she love this programme too" Haley just nods placing Kadence in Miley's playpen then taking off her jacket.
"Brooke I need to talk to you" Haley states.
I look up at her and nod "Okay talk away" I look back down at start to wash the over coffee table.
"It's about this thing with Peyton" I stop what I was doing and snap my head up to look at her "Nathan told me she wants us to meet with her"
"I hope you told him to stuff it"
"Actually Brooke I think its a good thing" Haley retorts "I mean if we go and meet her she can tell us everything. she can explain why she did it"
"I know why she did it Haley" I reply taking off my cleaning gloves and throwing them on the table "She did it because she's sick and twisted"
"Brooke I want real answers and she is ready to give them to us"
"Yeah well I can't stand the botch so being in the same room as her is not going to work for me" I reply standing up from the floor "So if you've only come over to talk me into meeting that two face home-wrecking whore then you can leave now"
"Brooke she drugged Nathan and Lucas and ruined everything"
"I was there Haley... I know what she did" I encounter
"Don't you want to know why she did it?" Haley questions sitting on the couch opposite me "The guys never slept with her Brooke, she can explain everything to us. Please let's just meet her and hear her out. Nathan said she hasn't go much time left"
"What does that mean?" I ask. Was she dying or something?
"I don't know. She hasn't said" Haley answers "Please Brooke lets hear her out"
Brooke sighs running her hand over her face and through her hair "Okay fine. We can go and meet her Haley"
"Really Brooke you agree?"
"Yes I agree" I let out a small groan not liking this one but, but Haley and Lucas were both right... I do want to know why she did it to us... I want to know what was so important that she would risk everything.
"Okay Lucas just has to confirm it with her"
"Actually no he doesn't" I reply taking my phone out of my back pocket "I'll text her myself"
I get up her number...
We'll all meet you Peyton. Tonight at the river court at 6:00. Don't be late. See you there... Brooke
I look down at Haley sitting on the couch and let out another sigh as I press send.
"It's done. we meet her at 6:00 at the river court" I tell Haley who nods with a hint of a smile.
-x-
She looks down at her phone which lit up as she sat in Barney's cafe with Julian. She had her phone sitting on the table beside her. She knew Jake was right about not seeing Julian anymore, but when he called she just couldn't say no; so she didn't and now they're on their 6th date.
A fresh smile appeared on her face as she read the text from Brooke. She pressed reply as Julian excused himself for the toilet.
Okay river court it is and thank you all for meeting with me. I'll see you tonight. Peyton
She pressed send and placed her phone back on the table and waited for Julian to come back from the toilet.
Her mission now was to make sure they understood everything before it was truly too late.
So Brooke finally agreed to meet with Peyton, but how will that end?
Will all the lies and secrets finally be put on the table?
Is this still a job to Julian or is he actually putting his true feelings into Peyton?
