Girls of the Clique

Author's Note: I just want to say, in case I have forgot this in the past, thank you so much for all reviews! Nothing makes me, and most likely other writers, feel better about there stories than when they read reviews. Even if its short, it means a lot!

This is the third part of the party, I'm sure there will be mixed emotions about this one. Some of you might not like the BH, but some things just have to happen. Some of you might enjoy it, maybe even find it funny. Other's might be dissapointed in Brooke, well all I can say is everybody makes mistakes when they're drunk. If your a Brooke supported like myself, I'm sure you'll find it in your heart to be okay with it. Title for this chapter by Keith Urban.

Chapter Nine: Tonight I Wanna Cry

"Hey, tutor girl!"

Haley let out a sigh as she turned around to face Brooke. She wasn't sure if Brooke was going to hug her and say thank you again, or yell at her in front of everyone at the party. Deep down, she believed the latter. The sound of Brooke's tone sounded too evil to be saying thank you.

Bevin approached as she slightly gave up on finding Nathan. And she wanted to know if Brooke had made any progress with Lucas. Bevin deeply hoped so, she needed some good news. She stepped forward and was standing next to Brooke, when Theresa just had to open her mouth.

"Oh, it's Tree Hill's very own Paris and Nicole. You know, dumb and fake." Theresa let out a giggle to herself as she pointed in the direction of Bevin and Brooke, then headed off into the other room.

Brooke turned to Theresa as the girl marched off, and noticed that Lucas was standing there. He had been talking to Theresa, and had heard her comment. That did it. Brooke was beyond mad, and Haley was right in the line of fire.

"You know, you better get home and get ready for that date of yours tomorrow. Little Haley has a date with Nathan Scott, thanks to me asking him out for you. You must be so happy." Brooke said, cooing the last part as if she were a young teenage girl who just had her first kiss. "I bet he's really excited." She shot sarcastically.

"Brooke…" Both Lucas and Haley, who was starting to feel hurt, pleaded, almost sounding as though they were disappointed in her. Immediately, Brooke was appalled. What gave them that right? Haley knew how much Brooke hated her, and Lucas had embarrassed and humiliated her.

Brooke turned to Lucas and shot him an anger filled dirty look. She turned back to Haley and put on her fakest smile ever. "Now if he tries to get you into bed, remember 'Just Say No'." Brooke and Bevin both giggled to Brooke's comment, and Haley just looked around at all the people who were staring at the girls.

Haley tried to cover the hurt on her face, but couldn't quite do that. She never let herself cry in front of any of those people, but she could feel a few sprouting tears. Brooke looked down and pointed to Haley's Ked's and covered her laughing that was forming.

"Cute shoes." She said sarcastically. "I remember the last place I saw those. Yeah, it was when my mom was giving away stuff for people."

She turned to Bevin. "I think it was Good Will, right?" Brooke asked, and giggled a small bit as Bevin nodded, giggling too.

"I hope you don't plan on wearing those tomorrow night. You want to make a good first impression of Nate." Haley gave one last look at Brooke and then Lucas, before she couldn't take it any more and ran out the door.

Brooke turned slightly as her's and everyone else's laughter grew. She noticed the glare that Lucas was giving her, and followed with just a simple evil shrug. She grabbed Bevin's arm and her drink, then laughed as they stumbled back into the living room.

Lucas stood there for a few minutes, not bothering to hide his annoyance. He knew Brooke was drunk and upset, but that wasn't a good enough excuse for what she had done. He figured Haley and Brooke strongly disliked each other, but humiliating her in public wasn't necessary.

After a few more minutes, Lucas knew he had to leave. He would have stayed and enjoyed the rest of the party, although people had started to clear out, but all the teenage girls standing around were laughing about what had happened and admiring Brooke for it. So eventually, he gave a sigh and left. All he could do was be happy that Nathan hadn't been there for that.

Brooke and Bevin were in the middle of taking shots and laughing, when both Peyton and Rachel approached. "So Bev, did you ever find Nathan?" Rachel asked in a mocking tone.

Bevin rolled her eyes to Brooke and shook her head, not bothering to acknowledge Bevin. "Didn't think so."

"He never showed up! If he had, then we would probably be like up in one of the guest bedrooms right now!" Bevin shot back as she turned to Rachel. "Besides, instead of moping around the party, like you, we had a totally good time making Haley cry."

Now Peyton decided to enter the conversation. She turned straight to Brooke with a questioning look. "What happened?" She asked curiously, wandering if it had anything to do with Scott brothers. She knew how upset Brooke had been when they parted ways, and she knew how Brooke tended to take things out on the wrong people.

"Brooke just totally told 'tutor girl' off. Ohmigod, it was so great! She looked like she was about to cry! She ran out of the house." Bevin exclaimed dramatically, laughing as she did. "She deserved that after what she did to Brookie!"

"And duh, she's going out with Nathan tomorrow!" Rachel said loudly to Bevin, not bothering to cover the tone she was using, that was hinting Bevin's stupidity. "I should be out with him tomorrow, not Haley." Rachel whined pretending to be clueless of her comment.

"You! No, not you and certainly not Haley, me. It should be me!" Bevin yelled back to her as she inched her way closer. Peyton just rolled her eyes and grabbed Brooke so they could step away from the argument. All four girls knew there wouldn't be any psychical harm in the fight.

"Brooke, are you okay?" Peyton asked with sincerity as she looked her friend up and down. She could always tell when Brooke was lying, and she was prepared to do so again. "Peyton, I'm okay. Lucas is so…whatever. He's gonna regret this, and that's his problem. He had his chance. Time for new mancandy!"

Peyton gave a laugh, but at the same time she knew that Brooke was indeed lying. Brooke had really liked Lucas. Certainly more than any guy before, Peyton knew that it had genuinely hurt Brooke. "What about you, and boys?" Brooke quickly added with excitement, to avoid being called on her lies.

"Well, there was Jake." Peyton had decided it would be best to leave well enough alone, so Brooke wouldn't get more upset. This conversation would be better spent on the next Saturday night with a bad soap opera and Ben & Jerry's.

"Oooh, Jagelski." Brooke cooed as if hearing the lastest E! News gossip. "You guys would be so cute together. And he is fine!" Peyton shook her head, admiring Brooke a lot at that point, and gave a laugh. She had to admit though, Jake had been really cute.

"Yeah, he definitely is! And we really hit it off. I can't believe we've never hung out with him before." Peyton had been really glad that Anna had decided to bring her over to Jake. And although she had felt that Anna was into him, because she hinted jealousy, she still felt like her and Jake had made a connection.

"Sounds juicy. So will there be any 'hanging out' in the future for you two?" Brooke asked, using air quotes on hanging out. She had obviously meant Friends with Benefits, and Peyton knew that. Peyton tried to cover the smile on her face and gave a shrug.

Brooke noticed then obvious smile growing on Peyton's face. "Yay!" She squealed as clapped her hands and pulled Peyton into a bone crushing hug. "I'm so happy for you P. Sawyer. You totally need a guy."

Brooke let go of Peyton as she pulled her in the direction where they had currently been standing. "And even better yet, I'm not into him, and Bev and Rach obviously aren't." She gave a laugh, as did Peyton, and began getting herself another shot.

"He's all yours!" She stepped closer to Bevin and Rachel and brought her hands to her hips. A lot of people had cleared out of the house since it was getting 'later than late' and they were free to do whatever they wanted. "Would you guys just stop bitching over Natey for a few seconds. Peyt's got a new boytoy!" Brooke squealed as she turned around and smiled to Peyton.

"He's not my boytoy…yet." Peyton stated with a fake innocent smile. "We we're just talking and hit it off." Brooke firmed the tight grip on her hips and stared at Brooke. "And we're gonna hang out after practice on Wednesday." Brooke began clapping and squealing again. Bevin and Rachel just managed smiles as they eyed each other carefully.

"But Anna's gonna be there." Brooke gave a loud sigh and dropped her arms. "I knew that girl was trouble." Brooke said giggled as she pushed her hips into Bevin and the two started laughing. "She's not trouble, Brooke. She's really sweet."

Brooke turned to both Bevin and Rachel, who were starting to become at ease with each other and gave them a disbelieving look. That clearly meant that Anna wouldn't be welcomed 'in'. "Puh-lease! She's only been here for like three weeks or something. And didn't you say she was Felix's brother."

Brooke handed both Bevin and Rachel a drink she had gotten them, then poured herself one and jumped up on the counter to sit. "He is like the worse guy ever. I'm not kidding. He like hit me with the door or something the other day and didn't even say sorry!"

"And isn't he 'benefiting' with like a bunch of girls?" Rachel asked as she added herself into the conversation. Peyton just gave a shrug, not really caring about Felix at all.

"Anna isn't like Felix…at all. It's not a big deal Brooke, were just hanging out after school." Peyton said, knowing the real reason Brooke had a problem with Anna. She had ownership problems, and felt like Peyton would be taken away from her.

"Whatever you say." Brooke said, deciding to end it there so she could bring up another subject. "I can't believe tutor girl. She's probably next door crying right now." Brooke couldn't help but giggle a little bit. Bevin and Rachel had both joined in the laughter, but Peyton was too wrapped up in her thoughts of Jake.

"So Brooke, you never told us what happened with Lucas." Bevin chimed in as she hoped for good news. Although she wasn't in the best state of mind, she noticed the immediate change of expression that Brooke had. "You guys don't even wanna hear it right now."

After a little while, everyone had left. Peyton and Rachel, the two who were less intoxicated, had got everyone out and eventually the three left. Peyton had offered to stay the night and help her clean up in the morning, but Brooke insisted that she should go.

Besides, Brooke had someone to visit of her own. She needed to discuss a plan with Nathan. Brooke always had the best evil schemes when she was drunk, and she needed it to take place during his date with Haley. So she grabbed her purse and made her way to Nathan's house. He didn't live to far away, so she just figured she would walk.

Nathan walked downstairs as he headed to the car. Deb, Nathan's mom, had decided to take Nathan out to eat directly after the game. She wasn't at home very much, due to her job, and she had insisted the family go out to eat since she was leaving the next morning. Nathan at first had objected, so he could head to Brooke's after party, but his father wouldn't allow it.

After they had returned home, Dan had decided to lecture him and play some basketball. He had been upset because Nathan hadn't scored enough points in the game, and because Lucas had been doing better than him lately.

Now he was planning to take Nathan somewhere to show him something, which angered Nathan. It was so late, into the morning hours, and his father wanted to take him somewhere. Nathan was tired and he knew it would have something to do with Dan's glory days, but it just had to be done right then.

As he opened the front door, he noticed that Brooke was laying on the ground, passed out. He let out a deep sigh, greatly confused. Why was Brooke at his house? Had she come to talk to him about something? She was obviously really wasted, since she was passed out.

He turned back to the house, knowing that Dan would be coming out in a few minutes. He had said he wanted to talk with Deb since they wouldn't talk in the morning, and wanted Nathan to wait in the car for a few minutes. He also knew Dan would never let it go, if he saw Brooke. And Nathan had to get her home, but wouldn't have time. Instinctively, he pulled out is phone and began dialing the number of someone to come help.

"Thanks." He mumbled into the phone, less than a minute later.
