Who Thought Things Would End Up This Way?
Okay now this is probably my shortest chapter ever :P Well oh well. The best chapter is 26 already written, unlike all the ones between. If I get bored I'll just do a time jump to that chapter, but hopefully I won't feel the need to. I know i promised longer chapters, and they all seem to be getting shorter, but that's just from my lack of ideas, but soon they will be long. Chapter 28 is long. So just read, and enjoy, soon enough you'll be there and see why i love those two chapters, and find out why i already wrote them xPP
Chapter 14: Coming To Terms
Oh no, it's not me
I just forgot to tell you
Didn't mean, it seems obscene
We just lost track along the way
Brooke: Brooke Davis speaking.
Haley: Hey. I've got a favour to ask you.
Brooke: Yeah, sure anything.
Haley: Would you be willing to help me get Lucas and Peyton back together.
Brooke: No.
Haley: C'mon at least think about it.
Brooke: Okay. I'm thinking...... uh no.
Haley: Brooke please!
Brooke: No Haley, I don't trust him. He hurt her so badly and she's a mess.
Haley: I understand that but Brooke you know they belong together.
Brooke: Fine, but I'm not doing it for any of you.
Haley: I can deal with that.
Brooke: I'm doing it for team love.
Haley: You're so weird.
Brooke: Be careful what you say about me or I may just change my mind.
Haley: Okay. Thank you so much bye.
Nathan: So she's good?
Haley: Yep, we've got her help!
Nathan: Awesome! So do you have a plan?
Haley: No that's what Brooke's for.

Brooke and Julian had made there way back to her apartment, where they sat on the couch and drank wine. Wine meant do me in Brooke's mind.
Brooke: So can I get you anything else?
Julian: I'd love too, but I should probably get going. This was nice.
Brooke: Yes it was.
Brooke: Julian, what was this?
Julian: I think you very well know what this was.
Brooke: Yeah, I know.
They kiss. Gently. Ever so sweetly.
Brooke: I can't be here kissing you on my couch.
Julian: Why not?
Brooke: Because Peyton's in the other room.
Julian: Maybe we should continue this in the bedroom then.
Brooke: Preferably without our clothes?
Julian: Exactly.
They started making out as they got up and made there way towards Brooke's bedroom. Julian's tongue begging for entrance in Brooke's mouth which was quickly granted. Peyton chose this exact time to come wandering out of her room.
Peyton: Ahhemm.
She made a sound to make herself known.
Brooke: Peyton.
Peyton: I'm just gonna go back into my room.
Brooke: No. Peyton!
Peyton: It's okay.
She walked back into her room. Brooke and Julian started to kiss again for a moment, but Brooke pulled away.
Julian: What?
Brooke: I should go check on her?
Julian: Oh, she'll be fine.
Brooke: I know eventually, but I don't think she can take this right now.
Julian: Okay, well I'll see myself out.
Brooke: Thanks for understanding. I'm sorry. I'll make it up to you.
Julian: I'm holding you to that.
Brooke: You better!
Julian left the house, and Brooke walked to Peyton's door and knocked on it lightly.
Brooke: Sweety, can I come in?
Peyton: Sure.
Brooke: How are you doing?
Peyton: I'm fine, but Julian? Seriously Brooke?
Brooke: I dunno he's sweet.
Peyton: It was the grin right?
Brooke: Well maybe. Yes!
Peyton: You know that's like three guys we've shared now.
Brooke: Lucas? Julian?
Peyton: Um Brooke sex tape.
Brooke: Oh eww. I hoped you would've forgotten about that.
Peyton: No, no no.
Brooke: So? About you and Lucas--
Peyton: Look Brooke I really don't want to talk about him right now.
Brooke: Okay, but you're going to have to talk to me eventually.
Peyton: I know, but right now I just wanna draw.
Brooke: You're doing those creepy, nobody understands me drawings again?
Peyton just gave Brooke a look.
Brooke: I can get the hint. I'll leave you to it.
'Cause this hurts, I can't leave
I understand, but can you
I'm just scared, you're lonely
Everyone knows you're better than me
Lucas' and Haley's phones rang at the same time.
Lucas: Hello.
Haley: Hello.
Brooke: Group meeting at Haley's in 5 minutes!
Lucas: For what?
Brooke: 4 minutes and 52 seconds.
Haley: Okay, we got it.
Brooke: Great. See you then!
Brooke hung up the phone.
Lucas: Did she sound excited?
Haley: Apparently.
Lucas: Wait, is she helping?
Haley: Yeah.
Lucas: Really?
Haley: Yes, now hurry up and get your butt to my house.
Lucas: Coming.

They were all at "Naley's" within the 5 minutes.
Lucas: You're surprising not late.
Brooke: Well I didn't have a fashion crisis today, and Peyton comes first.
Lucas: Okay, okay. Let's start.
Haley: Wait a second. NATHAN!
Nathan: I'm here! Start.
Brooke: Okay, First of all, the way to get her back is to give her time to cool off and time away from you. If you know she's going to be somewhere don't be there too. Give her space and lots of time for everything to blow over.
Lucas: Brooke.
Haley: Luke, listen to her.
Brooke: After that, your not going to try to get her to talk to you as a girlfriend you are going to try and regain her trust which will take work. If this isn't working out the way you want were going to aim for friends. That's the best we will get for the time being. Once you guys are friends the rest will just fall into place since you and Peyton have never been just friends.
Nathan: That's your grand plan Brooke? For them to become friends?
Haley: I think it's smart.
Nathan: That's easy.
Brooke: She's not gonna make it easy on him. I know that for sure.
Lucas: I'm willing to prove to her how much I care.
Brooke: Good. Then we'll start tomorrow. But remember Peyton must NOT find out under any circumstances.
