A/N 1: Please Note that I accidently said Jenny Jageleski was 6months older when Jamie, but that is incorrect. She's actually 2 years older!! Thanks for catching that TeamxxBrucasxx!! I don't know where I got 6months from!! Hehe!!

A/N 2: Please note that Bevin is not married to Tim nor does she have a kid with him. I bet everyone else like me didn't see that one coming.

Here's the next chapter... Enjoy!! :0)

"McBitchy Hales?" Nathan couldn't help but laugh as his wife explained this afternoon's situation. "Brooke is totally rubbing off on you" he joked as they sat there waiting for Brooke and Lucas to arrive.

"Ha ha funny" she said as she playfully smacked him in the arm. "I couldn't help it Nate. I was so angry when she told me she never once asked Brooke how she was doing since Angie left in the voicemail. Seriously, what kind of best friend does that?!" she asked raising her voice. "As much as I love Peyton, I love Brooke more. She has always been there for me, and I just feel like Peyton totally takes advantage of the fact that Brooke's too forgiving. I just wish that Brooke could be selfish at times you know?" she said sighing.

"I know Hales, but you and I both know that, that's not possible. She has the biggest heart, and that's one of the many of reason why we asked her to be Jamie's god mother. She's Brooke Davis; the happy, cheerful, strong, and very independent multi-million dollar designer. Whereas Peyton is the complete opposite; She's the dark-eerie, I hate the world brooder; artist/music producer. I mean we all love her to death; don't get me wrong. The difference between Peyton and Brooke is that Sawyer lacks the strong/ independent suit in her life. I honestly think that's why Luke feels that he has to always rescue her.

"And I agree, but the sad thing is that Peyton doesn't realize that for the first time both Brooke and Luke are the ones who need rescuing. She was too busy accusing her of trying to steal Luke. Honestly, I'm glad that Luke asked Brooke to go with him."

"You are?" he asked his wife a little surprised.

"Yeah I am because I think that they both hold the key in helping each other heal. I just feel that ever since Peyton's come back into town, Luke's life has been turned upside down."

"So I take it that's why Lindsey's back into town?" he asked.

"Yes unfortunately" she replied.

"You don't sound too thrilled Hales"

"It's not that, it's just that once again we have the rise of the Bermuda love triangle of death! I just hope that Lucas has thought long and hard about whom's really in his heart. Maybe everyone can 

finally move on."

"And I think we finally have our answer" replied Nathan with a smile as he motions towards the happy couple holding hands, and laughing.

"Hi Skillz" said a voice he'd recognize anywhere.

"This is a dream. This is a dream. This is a dream" he kept whispering to himself as he closes his eyes. He stood there frozen with his basketball in his hands not wanting to turn around.

"Skillz" she chuckled as she tapped him on the shoulder. "Skillz"

He took a deep breath as he slowly turned around. "Bevin? It is you, wait what are you doing here?" He asked completely shocked to see her standing in front of him after all these months.

"A little birdie told me to come by and see you" she said a little confused but brushed it off.

He couldn't help but laugh as she was still the same; still beautiful as ever.

"How are you?" she asked as silence fell between the two.

"I'm good, how are you?"

"I'm good. I just moved back into town and was taking a stroll and it brought me here." She replied.

"I think this is where everyone seems to end up once they return to town" he replied smiling.

"What?" she asked confused. "No, Mouth told me you were here."

"Never mind" he chuckled.

"It's good to see you. I've missed you" she said as she pulled him in for a hug.

"I've missed you to shawty" he replied with a smile hugging her tighter.

"Skillz?" said another familiar voice.

"Oh what do I owe this pleasure" Peyton said rudely at the sight of Victoria standing at the door.

"Oh look you're still here" she replied disgusted as she made her way in and looked around.

"What do you want Victoria" Peyton asked as she closed the door now standing there with her arms crossed at her chest.

"Is my sorry excuse of a daughter back from where ever the hell she went?"

"No, she's not here and I honestly don't know when she'll be back"

"No matter how hard I try they couldn't keep a damn baby away from her" she said in disbelief as she picked up a few toys.

"Wow, it's hard to believe Brooke has a mother like you" Peyton chortle.

"At least she has one" Victoria snickered.

Peyton glared at her. "Actually she doesn't. See a mother is someone who's loving and caring and since you're neither one of those; Brooke just has this bitch that gave birth to her who's pretty much a gold digger."

Victoria chuckled. "Wow, another one with a back bone. Aww don't they make such a beautiful family?" she smirked as she spots a picture of Brooke, Lucas and the baby together. She knew that it would burst Peyton's bubble.

"I know what you're trying to do Victoria and it's not going to work. Brooke and Lucas are just friends."

"Yeah that's why I walked in on them 4 years ago as he proposed to her in New York" she replied smirking. "She was showing him around her pent house before I walked in."

Her mouth dropped open as she raised an eye brow. "You're a liar!" shouted Peyton. "He wouldn't propose to her when he's in love with me."

"Believe whatever you want Peyton, I saw him get down on one knee as he held the box up to her revealing the ring with my very own eyes" she edged on even though she knew it wasn't true.

"I've had enough of your BS! Don't let the door hit you on the way out!" she snapped

"Don't think I can't get rid of you blondie just like I did with the redhead. Who knew a few words here and there would send her running." She laughed. "You both are worthless- pieces of crap who free load off of Brooke; who's stupid enough to allow it. You know, she won't always be around to save your sorry asses"

"You disgust me you bitch" yelled Peyton as she opened the door.

"Wow, we finally have something in common" she said as she stopped right outside the door.

Peyton stood there as she rolled her eyes.

"You say I'm a bitch Peyton, but don't forget that you're also the bitch that broke Brooke's heart." She laughed as Peyton slammed the door shut in her face.

She stood there as she broke down crying.

"When are you leaving?" Mouth asked his girlfriend

"Tomorrow afternoon." She replied.

"How long will you be gone for?"

"I'm not sure Marvin. You know I wouldn't go if I didn't have to nor if I didn't love Brooke. Macys wants her to put together two new sets of designs which is a great opportunity for Clothes over Bro's. I'm just worried though that one of the sets are going to be hard for her to do." She replied

"What do you mean?"

"Well one of them is for fall and the other is for babies."

"Oh" was all he said. "Well, Brooke is strong. It'll be hard for her but she'll accomplish it. Her company is way too important to her you know."

"That's just it, I'm afraid she might just bury herself into her work like she always does."

Mouth nodded his head. "I'm going to miss you. I wish you didn't have to go Millie"

"I know Marvin." She said smiling as she pulled him in for a kiss.

"So that was Bevin huh?" she asked "The love of Skillz life?"

"Yeah, hopefully we'll get our old Skillz back now that she's back. He's been so down since she left and I know as much as he didn't want to admit it, he missed her like crazy."

"How did you know where to find her? I thought she moved?"

"She did, and I didn't find her. I was surprised to see her as much as everyone else."

Just then there was a knock at the door.

"Owuch Hales" Nathan said rubbing his arm. "What was that for?"

"I just wanted to make sure that what I'm seeing is real" she said still shocked to have seen Luke pull Brooke into a passionate kiss from afar.

"Well it is, and if I haven't mistaken Hales, aren't you suppose to ask me to pinch you" he joked.

She wasn't paying attention to him as her eyes were still glued to her best friends. "Oh god, I was right, the Bermuda love triangle of death is here" she said nervously.

"Hales, we don't even know if they're a couple. It was just-"

"That was not just a kiss Nate. Didn't you see it in their eyes?" she asked. "I don't know if I'm supposed to be happy for them? Or fear that Brooke might get hurt again?" she said worried

"Hales, lets' just find out what's going on before you jump to any conclusions."

She nodded her head.

"Luke, Brooke" shouted Nate as he waved and nodded.

They both looked up and saw a puzzled Haley. "Oh god, she knows Luke and she doesn't look to 

happy" said Brooke nervously as they walked closer.

"Pretty girl, you don't know that. For all we know, she's probably just upset that we were unreachable over the weekend."

"And whose fault is that Lucas Scott! I'm so going to blame you for this one if Haley's upset with me" she said as she walked off before him.

He smiled as he rolled his eyes.

Both girls stood there in front of each other not saying a word as the guy's man hugged and said their hellos. "Thanks for coming to get us man" said Luke.

"No problem big brother" he replied as they turned to the girls

"Tutor mom/ Tigger" they said at the same time laughing as they embraced in a hug. "I've missed you" Brooke said as they pulled apart

"I've missed you too" said Hales as they pulled into another hug. "You've got a lot of explaining to do young lady" she whispered into her ear.

"I know, I will promise." She replied. "I'm so sorry I didn't call, Jamie must hate me. You can blame Lucas for all that"

"Thanks Brooke" he replied chuckling

"He doesn't hate you sweetie. He misses his god parents like crazy though."

"We've missed him" replied Luke as he and Haley pulled into a hug.

"Davis, get over here!" Nate said as he pulled her into a hug. "We saw you two kissing, you have a lot of explaining to do" he whispered into her ear as he chuckled.

"I know" she said as she nodded, blushing as they pulled apart.

"You've got some explaining to do Lucas Scott" said his best friend as they hugged.

"I know, trust me!" he chuckled as Haley smacked him in the arm.

"Owuch, what was that for?" he asked rubbing his arm.

"For your stupid idea of turning your phones off and making all of us worry about you. Something big could have happened or you both could have died for all we know." She scolded them.

"We're sorry mom" he chuckled taking a step back from her as she glared at him.

"Hales, we really are sorry. Can we please go home now?" she asked as she looped arms with her and they start walking off.

"So you and Davis huh?" Nate asked as they walked a few feet behind the girls.

Lucas laughs as he rolls his eyes.

"Lindsey? What are you doing here?" Skillz asked as he pulls her into a hug.

"I was in town visiting, and decided to take a walk, and ended up here" she replied smiling.

"Wow, everyone does end up here." He chuckled.

"And who is this Skillz?" Bevin asked a little jealous. (Remember, Lindsey and Bevin never met because she and Tim were never together)

"Bevin this is Lindsey, Lindsey this is Bevin"

"Nice to meet you" they both replied in unison. "How do you know each other?" Bevin asked

"Oh Lindsey is Lucas's-"

"Ex-Fiancée/Book editor" she replied for him knowing that Skillz wasn't sure want to say.

"Ex-Fiancée? Really? I for sure thought he would have married Peyton or Brooke by now since he jumps from one to the other though out high school" she added bluntly not meaning any harm in it.

"Bevin" exclaimed Skillz. "I'm sorry Lindsey. Bevin tends to say whatever is on her mind"

Lindsey was a little hurt but she understood. "Its' okay" she replied.

"So what are you doing here?" he asked

"I came back for Lucas, but Haley told me he's out of town."

He nodded his head. "Yeah he is. We don't know when they'll be back in town."

"They?" she asked confused.

"Yeah, he and Broo-" he said realizing he shouldn't have by the shock expression on his face.

"Brooke?! Brooke Davis accompanied him on his trip?" she asked shocked

"I'm sorry Lindsey. I didn't know you-." Skillz replied.

"Why didn't Haley tell me?" she asked upset cutting him off.

"Well Brooke was his first love" said Bevin

"What?!"

"Everyone knows that. Brooke was the first girl Lucas said "I love you too"

"Shawty, I think it's time you stayed quiet"

"So what about Peyton?" asked Lindsey as both girls ignored Skillz

"Oh no, this is not good"

"Hi Mouth" she said.

"R-Rachel, what are you doing here?"

"Geez, can't a friend stop by and see another friend?" she asked

"Yes of course. Come in, how are you?" he asked as they embraced in a hug.

"I'm better than good" she replied.

"You look great. Everything is-?"

"Awesome. I've got my life back on track."

"That's great Rach. I bet Brooke will be happy to know."

"That's why I'm back. She's probably not going to be happy to see me, but I owe her an explanation on why I left like I did, and money I owe her big time."

Millie clears her throat.

"Rachel you remember Millie. Millie, Rachel" he said as both girls said hello.

"Do you know where I can find her?"

"She's out of town" replied Millie.

"Do you know how long?"

"She'll be here tonight. Naley's picking them up at the airport."

"Naley" said Rachel as she chuckled. "Brooke is so rubbing off on all of you"

They laughed.

Just then Fergie and Junk walked in. "Hey Rachel" they said in unison

"Hey guys" she replied as they all hugged.

"I'm heading down towards the river court, you guys want to come?" she asked.

"Why the river court?" asked Millie

"Oh, because that's where everyone ends up when they get back into town" she replied.

"We're actually heading there now." Said Fergie as Junk grabbed the door.

"Well its' only 9:30pm" Mouth said as he took Millie's hand.

"Lets' go" she replied

"Peyton was his first crush, he felt connected to her or something" said Bevin. "But Brooke was the one he always fought so hard to get back. He cheats on her with Peyton, breaks her heart; she ends all their friendships, then he falls in love with her again at the end of Junior year, she leaves for California, comes back they do this non-exclusive crap which we all knew Brooke was protecting her heart from Lucas by the way."

"Uh huh"

"Shawty really, I think-"

Both girls glare at him as he walks away and shoots baskets

"Where was I, oh yes; they finally make it exclusive and things were great, then the school shooting/naley wedding/car accident happens. Brooke just randomly tells Lucas one day that she stopped missing him which I think by the way is a bunch of crap"

"Why do you think that?" Lindsey asked

"Because Lucas was Brooke's first and only love. She won't admit it, but I know she still loves him. I honestly think that Brooke gave Lucas to Peyton so she wouldn't get hurt again." There goes Bevin once again; being her blunt self.

Lindsey stayed quiet. "Did he fight for her again?" she asked.

Bevin nodded her head. "You bet he did."

"Why did he stop?"

"Because she told him she wasn't going to fight for him."

"And that's how Lucas and Peyton ended up back together?"

"Yup."

"Did she end their friendships once again?"

"Yeah, she did. But eventually she put it behind her and they became friends again. I knew it bothered her that Lucas and Peyton were dating but she learned to accept it."

"Great" Lindsey said as her eyes locked with a curly blonde making her way towards the court.

Peyton was furious. First Haley yells at her, then she has a pow wow with Victoria, "god can this night get any worst" she shouted. She then grabs her jacket as she decides to take a walk. She then had flash backs- "What does this mean for us?-Jake-You don't have to say it Peyton. Jake, please don't go. It's just that that I need some time to sort out everything that's going on in my life-There's nothing to sort out. I can see it in your eyes. We were drunk, lonely and it got out of hand-Jake of course it meant something to me, and it wasn't a mistake at all-I-I care about you a lot and-You care about me a lot, but you don't love me is that it?-Peyton, please don't cry-Jake please don't be upset with me-You are so important to me and I just need to think everything through-Peyton, I'm not upset with you. I'm hurt, but I understand. I'll give you the time you need"

Peyton Elizabeth Sawyer! You did not just turn Mcbitchy!-Luke, Luke, Luke! Do you even hear yourself?! Brooke Penelope Davis is your best friend and you've hurt her over and over and she still forgives you! What does that tell you?! Damn it Peyton, will you stop worrying so much about you and Lucas and start acting like Brooke Davis's freaking best friend for once!-

"I know what you're trying to do Victoria and it's not going to work. Brooke and Lucas are just friends- Friends? Yeah that's why I walked in on them 4 years ago as he proposed to her in New York. She was showing him around her pent house before I walked in-You're a liar! He wouldn't proposed to her when he's in love with me-Believe whatever you want Peyton, I saw him get down on one knee as he held the box up to her revealing the ring with my very own eyes-Don't think I can't get rid of you blondie just like I did with the redhead. Who knew a few words here and there would send her running. You both are worthless- pieces of crap who free load off of Brooke; who's stupid enough to allow it. You 

know, she won't always be around to save your sorry asses-You say I'm a bitch Peyton, but don't forget that you're also the bitch that broke Brooke's heart. Peyton snaps back into reality once she hears familiar voices she recognizes. "Can it be?" she asked

"How are you doing Brooke?" Hales asked as she took her hands into hers.

"It still hurts Hales. I thought going away with Luke would help and it did for those few days, but now I'm back and everything reminds me of her. I don't know how I'm going to go home and face all her baby stuff everywhere" she said with tears in her eyes

"Honey, it's going to be hard but we're all here for you, you know that. Why don't you stay with us tonight in the guest bedroom and tomorrow we'll go over to your place, and pack up Angie's stuff and put it away."

"Thanks Hales. I really don't want to go home and deal with Peyton." She sighed.

"I take it, you got her voicemail?"

"Yes unfortunately. She wasn't very happy with me"

"Yeah well she's not too happy with me either."

"You, why?" she asked confused.

"Well we had lunch today, and she told me about the voicemail. I was so upset that she was being selfish that I called her McBitchy"

"McBitchy Hales?" Brooke asked totally shocked as she couldn't help but laugh.

"I couldn't help" she said joining the laugh.

"You're rubbing off on her Davis" Nate joked as Lucas was beyond confused.

He didn't care though; he couldn't help but take his eyes off his pretty girl. They would send glances and winks through the mirrors.

"So Tigger, you want to tell me what's going on?" she asked as she caught the two unable to keep their eyes off one another.

"Yes, I'll explain everything to you Tutor mom, but not tonight. I'm tired and exhausted, I just want to go home and sleep."

"Why are we going to the River Court?" she asked as Nate made a left instead of a right.

"It's still early and it's not that cold out. You guys can catch up as Luke and I throw in a game. We can all just hang out for a bit, what do you say? Hales?"

"Sure why not" they both replied.

"I guess you have time now" Hales chuckled as Nate parked the car.

Both Haley and Brooke walked right into the guys as they stood there frozen. "What's wrong with you guys?" Haley asked confused

"Luke?" she said confused as she followed his glance. "Oh my god, we've just entered a night from hell" she said loud enough for her party to hear.

Everyone was thinking the same thing as they made their way onto the court from different directions.

Lucas's eyes went from Brooke, to Naley, to Lindsey, to Peyton, to his friends, to Rachel, then back to Brooke. "Oh god" he yelled out loud in his head.

"It's like a high school reunion again" pointed out Nate as the three started walking.

"More like the Bermuda Love Triangle of Death" Brooke cursed under her breath. She couldn't move. She felt like her knees where going to give out any moment now. Her eyes glanced from Lucas to Naley, Peyton to Lindsey to Rachel, to her friends, then back to Peyton. "Oh god!" she whispered.

Peyton's eyes went straight to Lucas then to Brooke who looked just as shocked as she was; then to Lindsey. She smiled as soon as she caught Lucas staring her way, but faded once she saw Brooke. She couldn't help but think about what Victoria said about the proposal in New York.

Lindsey's eyes went from Peyton to Lucas, to Brooke then back to Lucas. A smiled formed at her face as she realized his eyes were on hers. She stood up and started making her way over towards Lucas as Peyton did the same not realizing it.

"Well, well well. If it isn't my two face stabbing best friend." She smirked

"Peyton are you drunk?" asked Hales worried.

"Maybe, maybe not?" she laughed.

"Goldie Locks is buzzing" chuckled Skillz

"P.Sawyer, I know you're ups-" she said as she felt a sharp sting of pain across her face. Her hand went straight to her cheek as she had tears in her eyes.

"Brooke" yelled Haley and Rachel in unison as everyone gasp in shock. Rachel then made her way towards them, but was stopped as Brooke held her hand up.

"Pretty girl are you okay?" Lucas yelled as he turned Brooke to face him, lifting her chin with his fingers to examine the redness to her cheek. He didn't care who heard him call her that.

Lindsey winced to the nick name.

"Peyton what the hell is your problem" shouted Nathan.

"Brooke you okay?" asked Haley

"Brooke, Brooke, Brooke is all everyone cares about" she laughed

"Peyton go home and sleep it off" said Jake as he walked over.

"Jake" Brooke and Lucas said in unison, surprised to see him there.

"No, I'm not going anywhere until I talk to Pretty girl?" she mocked the nick name as Brooke winced to hearing her say it. "So, was that your plan all along Brooke? Go on this trip with Lucas and make him fall back in love with you?"

"Peyton you don't know what the hell you're talking about." Shouted Brooke still shocked that her best friend just slapped her. "If you had opened up your eyes and acted like my best friend for once, you would have realized that I was broken. Hell even Lucas was broken, and you know why he was broken, it was because of you Peyton. You turned his world upside down like you usually do. You would have known that if you would have stopped pinning over him and acted like his friend."

Peyton was appalled. "I wasn't the one to turn his world upside down." She shouted back. "That was your job. You knew that Lucas and I belonged together and once again you ruined it"

Jake's eyes shot to the ground as he shook his head.

"Are you even listening to yourself Peyton? You had your chance with Lucas, but you blew it! I handed Lucas to you on a freaking silver platter twice! Not one but freaking twice" she screamed as she slapped her hands together like she was holding a platter "but you were too scared to take that chance with him, so instead you pushed him away and you ran from it. Isn't it funny how once Lucas is finally happy with someone you find some way to ruin it for him?"

"You don't know what the hell you're talking about you bitch. I love Lucas and I fought for him unlike you" she snapped.

Brooke lost her cool as her hand glided with Peyton's cheek. "You don't get to stand there and call me a bitch Peyton! Don't you dare say I didn't fight for Lucas, when you knew perfectly well what you did! God to think, that I put your stupid feelings for him ahead of my own. I knew that you loved him and he loved you, so my love for you over powered my love for him. You knew that I loved Lucas so much with all my heart and soul that when we broke up I was left damaged. Damaged Peyton! If you loved me like I loved you, you wouldn't have told me that night before Naley's wedding, that you were still in love with my Boyfriend."

Everyone gasps as their mouths dropped open.

"Tell me you didn't Peyton" begged Haley

Tears streamed down her cheeks as she stood there quiet. "I-I can't." she replied. "I loved him too much"

"And because of that, the three people you claim to love so much, were left with their hearts shattered that night along with our friendship because you were a selfish bitch that broke my heart.

"Three?" Lucas asked confused now looking from Brooke to Peyton.

"Mine" Jake replied as all eyes went to him. "She came to visit me that weekend.

"I went to school every day with a fake smile on my face but deep down inside I was miserable, lonely, so unhappy, you can even say dying even; but no one knew that. No one knew how much I was hurting because Brooke Davis was the school slut, she can't fall in love right?!" She yelled as tears slid down her cheeks.

Lucas closed his eyes as he watched his broken pretty girl fall to pieces right in front of his eyes. He caused her so much pain that he hated himself for doing so. "Pretty girl, I'm so sorry" he yelled as tears streamed down his face. He took her face into his hands as they locked eyes. "I'm so sorry that I caused you so much pain."

"No one knew that I cried myself to sleep every night or that I starved myself or that I slept around so I wouldn't get my heart broken again. Hell now that all my secrets are out; why not tell everyone that I even started cutting myself so I wouldn't feel the pain. Did you know that Peyton?" Brooke screamed as she broke down. "Of course not! While you and Lucas were happy in love, I was a broken record. Did you know that I even knew exactly where to cut myself knowing that I could just kill myself instantly" she said snapping her fingers "just like that, without any pain?! Did you? If it wasn't for Nate, I'd be dead by now."

"Brooke" everyone said in unison shocked

Everyone turned to look at Nate as Haley and Lucas were beyond livid.

"Did you know that I told Lucas that I stopped missing him so you could be happy huh? Did you? Did you know that I was jealous of you Peyton? I was jealous because Lucas always saved you when you needed saving, but when I needed it nobody was there. I was jealous because I didn't understand why Lucas was so in love with you and not me. I even doubted myself into thinking that I wasn't pretty enough or that I wasn't smart enough or that maybe it was my image of being too easy. Did you know that it broke my freaking heart to pieces when I decided to design Lindsey's dress? I even pictured myself wearing the damn dress marring the one man I've always loved; but never once did I ever plan on wanting them to break up because I knew it would crush both of them. Did you know that the only reason why I told everyone that I was pregnant was because I knew that Hales wasn't ready to let everyone in yet, so I stepped up knowing that I was going to be critized by the school but it didn't matter because my love for Haley was so deep? Did you know that it almost killed me when I accidently walked in on you and Lucas after prom?"

Peyton and Lucas both looked down to the ground.

"Brooke" said Nathan

"Did you know that the reason I wanted a baby was to fill the void in my heart because I knew that I'd have someone there to love me no matter what? I knew that I could give that child the love I never had. A child, crazy right?!" she yelled. "Did you know that I actually even asked Lucas to be the father of my child; and the sad part was that he didn't even have to sleep with me to get me pregnant; all he just had to was give me his sperm" she yelled. "I thought as long as Lucas was in love with you Peyton, you'd both be happy, and I'd still have a piece of him with me if I had his child. "Stupid isn't it right?!" she laughs at herself. "Ask a man to be the father of your child even though he doesn't love you" she said now crying. "I'm such a selfish bitch right?!"

Everyone was beyond shocked.

"Brooke, I love you. I love you so much that it hurts" yelled Lucas as he wiped away her tears.

Peyton and Lindsey both looked over at Lucas whose eyes were locked with Brooke's.

"Don't listen to him Brooke. He doesn't love you like I do. How could someone who cheated on you 

with your best friend say he loves you? Then he kisses her again the day of the shooting? What the hell is that?" he exclaimed as Lucas sprung at him grabbing him by his collar.

"Shut the hell up Owen" yelled Lucas who was infuriated. "You don't know what the hell you're talking about. I didn't kiss Peyton in the library, she kissed me not that it's any of your concern." He shouted as he punched him.

"Then why didn't he tell her about it huh? If you love her so much why did you stop fighting for her?!" he asked as he sucker punched Lucas back. Both guys were now rolling around on the ground as Nate and Skillz pulled them off one another.

"Luke" Brooke, Peyton and Lindsey screamed.

"Tell me Brooke, does that sound like someone who truly loves you? I love you, and I know what I did with Angie was wrong. I was scared Brooke. I wasn't ready to adopt a baby, but if you were to have ours then it would be different."

"I'm warning you Owen, shut the hell up. Brooke will never have your baby, she loves me. We're going to have a baby of our own someday, and unlike you I would never run from her" shouted Lucas.

"No, you would only cheat on her you coward" shouted Owen as Lucas plunged at him tackling him down to the ground as they rolled around throwing punches back and forth.

"Lucas" Brooke yelled.

"Get the hell out of here Owen" howled Nate as he and the guys broke up the fight. You'll see Brooke Davis, I'm the guy for you, I promise I'd never hurt you like Lucas has. You'll see" he shouted before taking off.

"Brooke, don't listen to him." He said as he turned her to face him once again with a black eye. "I love you, and only you. I know I was stupid enough to not realize it back then, but you are the one for me Pretty girl. My heart belongs to you and only you. I want to spend the rest of my life with you. I love you." He said as tears filled both their eyes.

"You can't love me Lucas! I'm a selfish bitch! I'm not good enough for you" she cried.

"Brooke," yelled Nathan "that's enough! You are not a selfish bitch, you could never be. You have such an amazing big heart, and because of that you'll be a fantastic mother someday Davis. Why do you think Hales and I asked you to be Jamie's godmother? We love you, he loves you. You are our family" he said as he wrapped his arms around her tightly as he let her cry.

Haley had tears streaming down her face as she watched her husband comfort her best friend.

"I didn't want to live without him Nate" she sobbed. "I know it was stupid but I was going through a-"

"Shhh" he said as he tried to calm her down.

Everyone stood there speechless as there was not one dried pair of eyes to her confessions. No one realized how broken Brooke really was until now.

Peyton stood there shocked as she didn't know what to say or do. She edged on her best friend and because of it, she exploded. "Brooke" she said.

"With everything that was going on in my life, what hurt was when you called me to accuse me of stealing your precious Lucas, but you never once asked me, your best friend how I was doing after Angie was sent home. You don't know what it means to be a best friend Peyton;" she cried "hell you don't even know what it means to be a friend and until you do I want you out of my house and out of my life" She said before she walked away leaving everyone shocked.

"Brooke" Lucas yelled after her.

"Let her go man" said Nathan as he put his hand on his brother's shoulder. "That was-"

"Tell me about it. Nate it's 11:45, it's too late for her to be walking around by herself.

"Look Rachel's with her" Nate said as they watched Rachel run after her.

"Oh that makes me feel so much better"

"She's going through a lot right now big bro and Rachel was there for her through those tough times back in high school."

"When Nate?" he asked

"After we all returned home from that other Prom. She wasn't acting like herself and I noticed band-

aids on her wrists. So, then I went over to Rachel's house a few days later, where I found that she had locked herself in the bathroom.

"That was when she walked in on me and Peyton." He said as he sighed.

"Luke it was bad, I've never seen Davis like that before." he replied. "I was so scared that she wasn't going to make it. There was blood everywhere Luke. She even made me promise not to tell Haley and you know how hard that is for me. I couldn't lose her trust otherwise, we would have lost her"

"Why didn't you say anything?" he lashed out in frustration

"She made me promise not to say anything because she said that she was happy as long as the two people she loved were happy. I told her I'd keep my promise as long as she promised she would stop hurting herself, and she promised. Ever since that day, she hasn't done it again"

Lucas closed his eyes as tears streamed down his cheeks. "Damn it!" he yelled in frustration. "That is so like her! I love her Nate, so much that it hurts. She's the one I want by my side for the rest of my life."

"So, she's the one big brother?"

"She's the one" he replied as he nodded his head.

"I'm happy for you so please don't ruin it!"

"After tonight, how could I? I just fell in love with her even more than I ever thought I could. I don't plan on it at all."

"Perfect timing huh?" Mouth said as he walked over still shocked.

"You don't say/Tell me about it" they both said

"Now she really has a reason not to come back to Tree Hill" said Mouth.

"What?" exclaimed the Scott brothers really confused.

"Ugh, she's leaving for New York tomorrow guys"

"What? She's leaving for New York?" Lucas asked alarmed

"For how long, Mouth?" Nate asked surprised as well.

"You didn't know? Oh I'm sorry Luke. Millie told me tonight that Brooke's Corp is holding a meeting tomorrow in New York, something about Macys and that they're not sure when they're coming back to Tree Hill"

"What about the store here?" Nate asked

"They're sending someone from the New York branch down in the mean time"

"Why didn't she tell me?" he asked upset

"Maybe she wanted to find out more info first?" Nate asked

"When are they leaving?" asked Lucas

"Tomorrow afternoon."

"I have to talk to her." He said as he turned around.

"Come on Peyton, let me take you home" said Jake as his heart reached out to hers.

"Please don't say anything Jake" she begged in tears.

He nodded as they walked off.

"Lucas?" she said as they stood face to face.

"We'll leave you two alone" said Nate as he and Mouth walked off.

"Hey slut" Rachel said as she sat next to her on the swing.

"W-What are you doing here Rachel? Where have you been?" she managed to ask through tears.

Rachel sighed. "I've been away getting help" she replied as Brooke was taken back

"Why didn't you leave me a note, phone call, anything? Why did you take off without a trace?" she 

asked upset"

"Because I was ashamed of myself Brooke" she replied

"Rachel I brought you home for a reason. I was going to get you the help you needed."

"I know but then bitchtoria stopped by."

Brooke couldn't help but chuckle at the name. She missed Rachel.

"She pretty much ripped into me. Telling me that I was pathetic and that I was lying to myself if I thought I'd recover from drugs, and that I was wasting everyone's time whose was helping me."

"Rachel, it's bitchtoria we're talking about. No one is good enough for her." She replied

"I know, and the sad thing is that I started believing what she said. I took the money and spent some of it doing more drugs." Just then Rachel felt a painful stinging across her face.

"You could have over dose or had another relapse! God Rachel how selfish can you be" she screamed as tears streamed down her cheeks.

Rachel's hand covered her cheek as she wasn't shocked. She knew that was waiting to happen."I'm going to let that slide because god knows I deserved that, but don't think I won't kick your ass if you do that again" she said with tears in her eyes.

Both girls laughed as they embraced in a hug. "Oh god, I've missed you Rachel" she cried.

"I've missed you too. I thought of you and how much I missed you and our friendship that I wanted to prove to you that I can get better and that you can trust me again. I know that we had our differences in high school, but I'm so glad we became friends Brooke. You were the only one who trusted me, the only one who had faith in me. I'm clean now and I promise you I won't get back into drugs. Please, I need our friendship back."

"If you needed the money you could have came to me, I would have helped you."

"It wasn't about the money. I started missing Cooper." She honestly replied. "God, we're pathetic." Said Rachel.

"It's not that we're pathetic Rach, it's because we can't help who we love."

"I'm proud of you, you know that-bitch"

"Proud of me?" she asked appalled. "I should be the one telling you that I'm proud of you for getting cleaned up.

"I'm glad you finally got everything off your chest, god it's about damn time." She laughed "You know if you didn't put your hand up I would have slapped the shit out of her"

"I know, why do you think I did it?"

"Did you mean what you said though about her?"

"Yeah I did. I'm tired of her lacking as my best friend" She replied as she sighed.

"Let me see your wrists"

Brooke closed her eyes as she took a deep breath.

"At least they're not that bad" Rachel said as she noticed a few here and there.

"Neosporin" she joked

Rachel glared at her.

"Too early for jokes?" she asked

"You bet your ass too early for jokes" replied Rachel. "Alright, lets' make a pact. No more hurting ourselves okay?"

"Alright deal" said Brooke. "As long as you stay clean, I'll always be here for you skank" she said as they both laughed.

"So what now?" she asked

"I'm going to New York to meet the Head Corp Office tomorrow."

"For how long?" asked Rachel

"I don't know. I have to talk to April tomorrow morning for a conference call."

"Good luck slut"

"Lindsey, what are you doing here?" Lucas asked confused.

"I missed you Luke. I've realized that I can't live without you, and I'm ready to fight Peyton for you. I won't give you up to her like Brooke did." She said with tears in her eyes

"Luke you coming?" shouted Nathan as everyone started leaving.

"I'll walk home" he replied. "I'll pick up the stuff in the morning" he shouted back

"Alright, see you man"

"Lindsey-"

"No Luke, you asked me if miss you, and I miss you every day that it hurts. Not a day goes by that I don't think of you but I was just scared. I was scared of the way you make me feel and I was scared because of your history with Peyton. I want us to be together I do. I want a family with you Lucas Scott, and I want to marry you and start a future with you. I want it all, but I want it with you."

"Lindsey, I'm in love with-"he starting saying as her lips came crashing down onto his.

"Brooke" he said as he pulled away. Just then he saw Brooke and Rachel standing there shocked. "Brooke" said Lucas as his hands fell back to his side.

"Brooke" said Rachel as she watched her make her way over. "Oh boy"

"Lucas after everything tonight, how could you?" she yelled.

"Brooke, it wasn't like that" he said in defense as her hand met his cheek. "Don't you dare touch me" she yelled.

"Lucas" gasps Lindsey as her hand covered his hand over his cheek. "You have no right in slapping him Brooke. We're not Peyton, who the hell do you think you are anyways?" yelled Lindsey

"I'd pipe down if I were you slut" Rachel added from afar.

"Rachel you aren't helping" he glared as he stood there rubbing his cheek not taking his eyes of Brooke. "Brooke nothing happened, you have to believe me"

"Oh no?" she said as her right hand met Lindsey's right cheek.

"You bitch" she yelled as Rachel grabbed Brooke and Lucas grabbed Lindsey. "Let me go Lucas" she yelled.

"Let me go Rach" yelled Brooke. "FYI Lindsey, I was his girlfriend, but you just ruined that."

"Brooke" yelled Lucas as he let go of Lindsey, now walking towards her. "Lindsey" he said as he held her back once again.

"Pretty girl, you don't mean that. I love you and only you!"

"Lucas let me go. She has no right in slapping either one of us. What did you say Lucas?" she asked appalled.

"Damn it Lindsey! STOP!" he yelled frustrated.

"You know, I rooted for you and Lucas even though Peyton was my best friend and then you broke his heart; but then tonight he told everyone that he loved me, but you still had the nerve to kiss him. You're just like Peyton, you disgust me" she said as she walked off with Rachel in tow.

"Brooke" Lucas yelled after her. "Brooke" he sighed.
