It was later that night. Nathan and Brooke were sitting on her couch watching a movie.

"Hey Nate?" Brooke got his attention.

"Yeah?" He looked at her.

"Hope you don't mind, but Jake is coming to Tree Hill for the weekend and he's staying here." She looked at him to see what his reaction would be. He looked away, thought about it, then looked at her again.

"Can't he stay at a hotel or something?" He asked.

"What?! No! He's my friend Nate. I'm not going to make him spend money for a hotel when I have an extra room." She looked at him, surprised that he asked her that.

"Well what about him staying at my place and I'll stay here?" He hoped she would say yes.

"No Nathan. I already told him that he could stay here. I'm not changing things up because you're jealous for no apparent reason." She argued.

"No apparent reason?" He asked surprised she said that. "So it's not a good reason? I should like that a guy is coming to stay at my girlfriends house?"

"He's our friend." She told him. "I would never cheat on you. And you should know that."

"I know. I know. I'm sorry." He kissed the side of her head. "Let's watch the movie ok?"

After a few minutes he spoke again. "Thanks for asking though."

Brooke looked at him appalled. "What? I did not ask you. I don't have to ask you if it's ok to let my friend stay in my house. I was just being nice and letting you know before he showed up at my door." She stood up. "I'm going to bed. Lock the door on your way out." She started walking to her room.

"Brooke!" Nathan called after her but she slammed her door shut. He sighed then left after locking up.

It was the next day. Brooke was with Jamie at the park.

"You look miserable today." Haley told her.

"Me and Nathan had a fight yesterday." She said.

"Nathan and I." Brooke glared at her. "Sorry. Habit. About what?"

"Jake staying at my house." Brooke told her. "He made it seem like I had to ask him to let my friend stay at my house. He even said thanks for asking. That's when I flipped."

"What's you say?" Haley asked.

"I told him that I didn't ask. I was just letting him know so he wouldn't be surprised when Jake showed up at my house. And then I told him to lock up when he left and I went to bed." Brooke replayed what happened.

"Wow. He'll get over it." She told Brooke. "He's just jealous. He's that way. He used to be jealous whenever I hung out with Luke."

"Yeah, well apparently he had good reason." Haley looked down at her hands. "Sorry. I didn't mean that. The bitchiness is just a habit."

"It's ok." She watched Jamie play with the other kids. "He's growing up so fast."

"Yeah he is." Brooke smiled while watching her godson. "He's going to be a heartbreaker."

"Oh no he's not." Haley laughed. "Not if I can help it. I want to keep him away from the drama that we went through."

"Amen to that." Brooke and Haley laughed.

It was a few days later. Nathan and Brooke haven't talked or seen each other. It was the day before Jake was going to be there. Brooke was working on some sketches when her doorbell rang. She answered it and stepped aside when she saw Nathan. He sat on her couch. She sat next to him.

"I'm sorry." He said to her sincerely.

"It's ok." Brooke gave him a kiss on the cheek.

"I shouldn't expect you to have to get approval from me." Nathan sat back on the couch and grabbed Brookes shoulders and made her lean back with him.

"It's ok Nate." She kissed him. "Plus, we get to hang out with a friend that we haven't seen in a while. It's going to be fun."

It was the next day. Brooke just finished cleaning her house when the doorbell rang. She answered it and squealed when she saw Jake. She quickly jumped forwards and hugged him. Then, of course, she gave Jenny a kiss on the cheek.

"Aww no Peyton? So sad." She said as if she cared.

"Yeah Peyton told me you two were fighting." Jake brought his stuff to the guest room and put Jenny in for a nap. "Let's catch up."

They sat on the couch.

"So tell me what's been going on in this town." He said.

"Well, Nathan and Haley got divorced...."

"What?! I never would have seen that one coming!" Jake exclaimed.

"Yeah. Me and Nathan are dating......"

"I always used to wonder in high school how the captain of the cheer team and basketball team never got together."

"Jamie is really Luke's son."

"Oh wow.........."

"Jake I'm sorry." She started.

"Why?" He asked.

"Peyton and Lucas are married. They're getting divorced but they are married right now." She gave him a sad smile.

"Oh..........I never really saw that one coming." He sighed sadly. "I should have known."

"I'm sorry." She said. "Maybe I shouldn't have said anything. Just minded my own business."

"No no. I'm glad you told me." He looked at her. "I had a feeling something happened. Why are they getting a divorce?"

"She told Luke that she was too good for him." She grabbed his hand in friendliness.

"Wow." They just sat and watched TV for a little while. Once Jenny got up they decided to go to the Rivercourt to meet the others. They got there.

"Hey Jake! Man how are you?" Luke hugged him.

"I'm good. How are you? Sorry about Peyton." He smiled sadly at Luke. "I had no idea she was married."

"It's ok. I'm fine." Luke sat next to Haley on the bench. She went and hugged Jake then Nathan did. Nate was a bit timid about it though. He still didn't know how he felt about Jake staying at Brooke's. He was hoping that she told him about them.

"Hey Nate. Heard about you and Brooke." Jake smiled at him. Nathan smiled happy that Brooke told him.

"Yep." Nathan went and wrapped his arm around her. He kissed her cheek.

That weekend went by pretty quick. Jake went back home.

A few days after he left, Brooke was at home. She heard someone walk in so she turned around and was surprised to see a pissed off Peyton.

"Peyton?" She asked confused. Peyton stormed over to her.

"You just couldn't stand to see me happy could you?" Peyton asked as she smacked Brooke. Brooke looked back, surprised.

"I......Peyt......." Brooke didn't know what to say. "I'm sorry."

"You bet your ass you're sorry." Peyton glared at her. "We're done. We're not friends anymore."

Brooke was starting to get pissed. "One thing, Peyton, we haven't been friends in a long time. And two, I did the right thing. I was not going to let Jake get caught up in your little drama. And especially Jenny. She doesn't need to be influenced by someone like you......" Brooke stopped talking when Peyton tackled her to the ground. They were both fighting.

Haley was at Brooke's house and knocked but there was no answer. She was about to knock again when she heard a smashing noises and the sounds of a struggle. She quickly opened the door and ran into the kitchen and was surprised to see Peyton and Brooke fighting. She pulled Peyton off of Brooke.

"GET OUT OF MY HOUSE YOU TWO TIMING BITCH!" Brooke yelled to Peyton.

"Gladly. Don't bother ever contacting me! Either of you!" Peyton stormed towards the door.

"Oh don't worry about that, sweetheart, we didn't ever plan on it!" Brooke yelled as Peyton slammed the door shut. Brooke put a hand to her bruised cheek. "Ow."

"Come on lets get you washed up." Haley brought her into the bathroom and washed away some blood. "What was that about?"

"She stormed in here and started bitching about me ruining her life." Brooke shrugged. "Whatever."

"Well we're supposed to be meeting the boys for lunch." Haley told her. "You still up to going?"

"Yeah. Come on." They drove to the diner. They sat at the table.

"What happened!?" Nathan asked Brooke.

"Run in with Peyton." She shrugged then told the whole story.

"You ok?" Nathan asked.

"Of course." Brooke smiled at him. "I just.....Honestly? I just hope that she finds her happily ever after."

"We all do." Haley smiled at her.

They all just enjoyed their time together before they had to head home. Nathan drove Brooke home and Lucas drove Haley.

Well that's chapter 10. Review! I will have things go right for Peyton. But you just have to wait and see. Well....read anyways.
