Brooke huffed for the seventeenth time since they had gotten in the car. She couldn't believe that Peyton had been able to find someone to take Teresa place let alone fit into her uniform. However, that was until she found out whose body was the perfect fit.
"Brooke, I'm serious if you huff one more time I'll let you walk to the competition" Peyton scolded shaking her head at how childish Brooke was being. She was being extremely ungrateful considering Hayley was going to save the whole team from just pulling out and also she had worked extremely hard at learning the routine considering she too really didn't want to be coming either.
"It's fine Peyton, I'm not doing this for Brooke" Hayley hissed from the backseat keeping her eyes on her window.
Brooke glared and crossed her arms and was just about to huff again when she saw the warning look that Peyton gave her quickly. If she was going to be stuck in a car with Hayley she might as well get her back story so she would know what she was dealing with. "So Hayley, considering you're going to be on the team tell me what made you say yes to filling in?"
"Brooke, you know why..." Peyton started but was cut off when Brooke held up her hand.
"I'm bonding with Hayley isn't that what you wanted?" Brooke smiled and raised her brow.
"I'm doing this as a favour for Peyton...there's nothing more to it" Hayley said rolling her eyes. She really wished that Peyton had just let her drive up there herself, or even with Nathan. She knew that Nathan and Lucas were planning on driving up later on in the day even if Lucas told Peyton otherwise. Hayley smiled just thinking about the conversation that she, Nathan and Lucas had, had on the competition.
As soon as Hayley had reluctantly agreed to be the replacement cheerleader Peyton had been over at her and Nathan's house all Wednesday night and Thursday night teaching her the routine and some of the basic jumps that would be showcased in their performance. Nathan had been only too happy to tag along, he had told her that he only wanted to go to make sure that nothing happened while she was there. But Hayley wasn't stupid, the idea of being at a place where there would be loads of half naked girls as well as his own girl, made the trip only that more appealing.
Lucas on the other hand was more against the idea, he had acted like a stubborn little boy. He was in no shape or form interested in going somewhere where a ton of high class stuck up cheerleaders would stick up their noses at him. And it was really likely that it would go all weekend long, meaning that the guys would have to leave the bar in someone else's hands for the whole weekend. So his final answer was no, until he had seen his own girlfriend walk in wearing a sports bra and short shorts and suddenly the idea didn't seem quite so bad. But he did wait until Peyton was gone for the night to say he would think about it, but Hayley knew that he would be there regardless.
"Yeah, I noticed that you too have gotten closer since Peyton started seeing the thug" Brooke said turning in her seat to face Hayley.
"Brooke! Enough, Lucas is not a thug and I swear to god if you don't attempt to be civil I won't be on the floor with you when the team competes!" Peyton hissed only taking her eyes off the road for a moment and gripped the steering wheel tightly.
"Its fine Peyton, Brooke here is just jealous cause I know you better than her now" Hayley smirked finally looking at Brooke for the first time since they had started driving.
"Oh please," Brooke laughed
Peyton didn't know how much longer she could take the consistent back and forth and with Brooke only getting bitchier the closer they got to the hotel she could only predict the worst. She saw a gas station and figured she would kill two birds with one stone. First she would fill up cause well they would be running on empty soon and two she would get a break from the tension that was between Brooke and Hayley.
"Hey, I'm going to get out while the guy fills it up. Brooke" Peyton paused looking directly at her "Behave" the jumped quickly out of the car and walked into the store.
There was silence in the car for ten minutes before Brooke finally broke it "Lucas is not good enough for Peyton, you shouldn't encourage it"
Hayley raised an brow and laughed rolling her eyes and looked away from her.
"What?" Brooke asked angrily
"Its just... you say your Peyton's best friend and yet you treat her like she is your child." Hayley said continuing to look out the window.
"I do no such thing" Brooke said looking appalled
"Yeah you do, I mean if you didn't you would let Peyton make her own decisions and then if by chance they were the wrong ones then you would be there for the fall out, cause that's what friends are for. And FYI you constantly telling her that Luke isn't good for her only makes her want him more, so go ahead, keep telling Peyton that Lucas is a threat because in the end Brooke, it will be you with no friend to hold on to. "Hayley growled then watched as Brooke's face changed from anger to sadness.
"Your right..." Brooke whispered and turned to face the front again. " I know that I hold Peyton really close but its only because..." Brooke stopped and quickly put a hand to her mouth to stop from telling Hayley what had happened only a few short years ago
Hayley looked confused "Because what?" Hayley questioned
"Look Peyton, she's gone through a lot and I know that I might be over bearing sometimes and maybe even bitchy but I will never make the same mistakes that I made with her before because I love her too much...so please don't sit there and tell me that I'm not her friend. Cause in the end I will be the one picking up the pieces" Brooke said watching the door to make sure that Peyton wasn't coming out yet.
Hayley let the silent linger again, she wasn't sure what it was that had Brooke so guarded but it made her have more respect for her knowing that even if she had said some pretty mean things about her and her friends that it was only cause she was scared for her friends safety. It was unnecessary but at least now she knew the reason.
Hayley sighed and let out a small breath "I won't ask you to tell me what it is that has you so uptight but I will ask that you give Lucas a chance..." She held up her hand when Brooke was about to respond "Look, I know you don't think Luke is a good guy but you don't know him, and you certainly don't know me so until you do I asked that we try and be civil for Peyton's sake because whether or not she admits it she wants all of us in her life.
Brooke swallowed and looked towards the door of the store as it opened and Peyton started walking towards the car. "Alright, we will play this out your way for now. But if for any reason I think that Lucas or any of you guys are going to be a threat, I will do something about it."
Hayley didn't really like being threatened but she was starting to figure out that Brooke wasn't as tough as she made everyone so, she would take what she could get. She knew in her heart that Lucas would never attempt to hurt Peyton in any way shape or form and she knew for a fact that her, Nathan and Skills felt the same way.
Peyton got into the car and look at Brooke and Hayley nervously. "Everything okay?" She questioned
"Yup, why wouldn't it be?" Brooke smiled
"um," Peyton looked at her worriedly
"Peyton, we're all good" Hayley said smiling so that Peyton would just drop it
"Okay then, well let's get to the hotel. The girls are probably already there by now" Peyton said still confused about what had happened when she was gone from the car. But she would forget about it for now and ask about it later, right now it seemed as if both girls had reached some type of understanding and nothing made Peyton happier then to see that!
Xx
"Are we there yet?" Skills whined from the backseat, out of all three of them he seemed to be the most open to the idea of going to a cheerleading competition. To be honest he was wondering why they had gone to more when the three of them were all single.
"We get there when we get there" Lucas hissed speeding up a little more
Nathan looked at Lucas and smirked, he knew his brother was edgy because he hadn't heard from Peyton. He knew for a fact since Hayley had been texting him almost every five minutes that everything was tense but fine. He probably could have told Luke that Peyton had been the one that offered to drive so that was why she wasn't answering but he figured a little worry was healthy for him.
"Luke come on man, everything is fine" Nathan sighed when Lucas only grunted and increased the speed a little more.
"Then why has she responded to anything for 3 hours." Lucas said taking a sharp right and gunning it again.
Nathan sighed the fun wasn't worth their safety "Hayley text me saying that Peyton was doing the driving."
"Oh" Lucas said slowing down almost immediately. He knew it was silly to be worried but he couldn't help it. He still hadn't figured out what had scared her the night of the dance battle and whenever he brought it up she had quickly changed the subject or distracted him, which wasn't all that hard to do.
Lucas looked over as he heard Nathan's ringtone.
"Hey baby" Nathan said when he saw the caller id "Alright try not to kill her...yeah sure I'll tell him...okay love you to bye" Nathan hung up as Lucas was pulling up in front of the hotel.
"That baby girl?" Skills asked
"Yup, she told me to tell you that Peyton got all ten of your messages" Nathan smirked when Lucas only gave him a small glance as he got out of the Range Rover.
When the three of them had got all of their stuff together they walked towards the front entrance. Nathan walked up to the receptionist standing in front "Hi, a reservation for Nathan Scott?"
"One moment Mr. Scott," The girl smiled looking down at her computer again
Lucas rolled his eyes as Nathan worked his charm on the girl at the front counter. When Nathan returned again he told the guys that apparently they only had one room for the three of them.
"Why there's three of us?" Lucas asked
"Yeah well I can maybe bunk with Hayley" Nathan said knowing that he wasn't going to be sleeping on the floor.
"Yeah, I'm sure her roommate will really love that" Lucas grumbled wondering now what he was going to get himself into.
Lucas just grabbed his bags and headed over towards the elevator "What floor?"
"Six, we're room 605" Nathan said looking at the key card
When the elevator indicated that they had reached floor six they were almost trampled by a group of girls running down the hall way. Unfortunately for Lucas, one of them did end up running straight into him causing her to fall to the floor giggling.
Lucas looked up to the ceiling reminding himself why he was here then gave her his hand to help her up from the floor.
"Are you okay?" Lucas asked
"Oh fine" she said then looked at the guy that helped her up "Wow, your cute"
"Um...Thanks I guess" Lucas said getting flustered by the girls comment
"Bevin, we have a competition to win stop flirting with strangers and head to your room" Brooke said crossing her arms and glaring at her.
"But, I haven't met the cute guys friends yet" She pouted
Brooke huffed in aggravation "fine, get the guys names and then go to your room" then turned to go find the floor where Julian's team would be staying.
"Whatever you say cheer Mom" Bevin smiled and turned towards the guys looking at them expectantly.
"Oh, um right I'm Lucas and this is my brother Nathan and our friend Skills" Lucas said still feeling uncomfortable.
"Oh man your Lucas?" Bevin smile got even bigger
"Yup" Skills said patting Lucas shoulder "This here is Lucas Scott in the flesh" he laughed when Lucas frowned at him.
"Your funny" Bevin said "Oh you should come and met Ashley, she's my roommate" Bevin grabbed Skills hand and dragged him down the hall to her room.
"No even here 15 minutes and he already picks up" Nathan laughed hearing the door slam at the end of the hall.
Lucas smiled in return "Yeah well let's hope he gets to know Bevin so well that he stays in her room. That way I get the bed."
The brothers walk towards their door and let themselves in. One bed of course, Lucas thought now he really had to hope that Hayley didn't have a roommate otherwise he would be flipping a coin to see who got the bed.
It wasn't long before they had gotten everything settled and had just turned on the tv when Hayley busted into the room.
"Hey, the door was closed how did you get in?" Lucas questioned
"Oh I just said I needed a key for Nathan Scott's room" Hayley shrugged giving Nathan a kiss and a hug
"Great, its good to know that they will give anyone a key" Lucas rolled his eyes at the two of them
"I'm not anyone, I'm his wife" Hayley exclaimed "What's making you so cranky"
"I'm not!" Lucas argued back
"Well good then, can you give Nathan and I the room please. I've had a very long drive." Hayley exclaimed dramatically making Nathan laugh and Lucas hiss
"Fine..." he said in disgust and shut the door
He was just about to walk down the hall in search of Peyton when two hands came up to cover his eyes.
He tensed thinking it was that crazy cheerleader from before.
"Guess who?" she whispered putting her lips close to his ear then feeling him shiver.
"Kate Bosworth...Ow" He laughed when she smacked him and removed her hands from his eyes.
"Jerk" Peyton said trying to glare at him
"You're pretty hot too though" Lucas smirked checking her out "Do you think you could turn around so I could see the full package" Lucas laughed again and moved out of the way to avoid being hit again.
"So, I heard you weren't even here 5 minutes before you were flirting with my teammate" Peyton said squinting her eyes at him.
"Wha..oh that, that was nothing" Luke said suddenly avoiding her eyes "How did you hear about that?"
"Dylan came and told me, she said that there were some extremely sexy guys outside the door and that Bevin was trying to hook up. Should I be jealous? Peyton asked watching as Lucas squirmed in discomfort.
Luke knew that she was just trying to make him uncomfortable but it annoyed him to no end that it was working. What happened to the guy that took what he wanted and didn't apologize. Where was the guy that walked into the bar and had girls coming up to him left, right and center. That guy Lucas understood. Making up his mind he told himself he was going to take what he wanted...well as long as she was okay with it of course.
Lucas suddenly pushed her against the wall and when her eyes widened lifted her so that he back was resting against the wall but now her legs were around his waist. He brought her face to his with his hands and tilted his head so that he had better access to her lips. He felt the vibration from her lips when she moaned into his mouth. And she gasped again when he just as quickly ripped away from her and placed his forehead against hers.
"What was that for?" Peyton sighed leaning her head back against the wall.
"I dunno"
"Oh my god seriously..." Peyton laughed at his predictability
"Peyton" Brooke said walking towards her and Lucas. Then rolled her eyes when she saw that it was Lucas was with her.
"Hey Brooke" Lucas said not giving Peyton the chance to move out of his arms
"Lucas" Brooke nodded "Peyton, Hayley is going to be your roommate cause Teresa got a room to herself so I going to take her room so Julian can stay together.
"Alright" Peyton said wondering to herself whether or not Brooke was taking Teresa room so there was no chance that she and Lucas would be alone together.
Peyton watched as Brooke walked away again without another word.
"so" Peyton said smirking again once her and Lucas were alone. "what are the chances of you and I making out in room 606"
"I'll give you one better" Lucas said suddenly feeling like this trip was going to be worthwhile.
"Oh yeah, what's that?" Peyton asked
"wanna switch roommates?" Lucas said coyly
Peyton swallowed thickly and tried to not look as nervous as she felt. She knew that Lucas wouldn't do anything that she didn't want to do but it still made her nervous to be alone with a guy in her room.
"Hey?" Lucas said taking her face in his hands "You can stay with Hayley if your more comfortable with that." He said softly
"No, its fine yeah we can switch rooms. We will just have to make sure that Brooke doesn't find out" Peyton tried the best she could to look comfortable with the whole thing
"Okay if you're sure?" Lucas said bring her into a hug then pulled her towards her room.
"Hey wait" Peyton pulled on Lucas hand "Shouldn't we go to your room and make sure that Hayley is good with switching?"
"um well, we will after we make out in 606 for a hour or two or maybe three" Lucas said lifting her up and tossing her over his shoulder.
All that could be heard was Peyton's giggling and then the door as it closed behind them.
