Chapter 20
Jamie and Sawyer run and jump into the wave at the same time laughing and splashing each other. Peyton smiles at the two as she takes pictures.
"I'm so glad they bonded" she says
"Like they wouldn't" Haley says "My kid and Luke's kid. They were destined to be friends"
"I guess" Brooke says kind of in a cranky way
"What's wrong with you today?" Haley asks
"Nothing" Brooke says playing with baby Luke
Peyton laughs "Does somebody need a nap?" she asks in a funny voice rubbing Brooke's back
"No" Brooke says sticking her tongue out at Peyton
"Well it looks like you two are back to old ways" Haley says smiling
"We've mended fences" Peyton says giving Brooke a little too sexy of a smile
Haley didn't really notice "That's good!"
"Sure is" Peyton says
Haley smiles at them "Did you guys have fun shopping? You practically ran in and grabbed Luke and ran out"
Brooke laughs "We were pretty tired."
"Well did you have fun?"
"Yes" Sawyer says walking up and plopping down on Peyton's lap
"Sawyer!" Peyton yells "You're all wet!"
Sawyer starts laughing "I know!"
Everyone else laughs too
"How about we cookout tonight?" Haley says "School will be starting soon and we won't be able to hang out as much"
"Sounds good to us" Peyton says
"Us?" Haley says
"Yeah, Brooke, the kids and I"
"It just sounded funny" Haley says
Brooke looks at Peyton "Well we spend a lot of time together so ya know"
"Yeah" Haley says "How about you guys come over at 6?"
"Sounds good" Brooke says
"We should probably head home" Haley says looking at her watch "I have a few things I need to get done today"
"Yeah and the kids need a nap" Peyton says
"Ok" Haley says "So we'll see you tonight. Come on, Jamie"
"See you later, munchkin" Jamie says going with his mother
"Ok, hot shot" Sawyer yells back
Haley and Jamie walk towards the front yard and Sawyer gets up off of Peyton's lap.
"Come on, mommy!" She says pulling on Peyton's hand "Let's go swimming"
"I don't want to" Peyton says in a whiny voice
"Why cuz you want to stay here and play kissy face with Aunt Brooke!"
"Sawyer Brooke Scott!" Peyton yells and Brooke starts laughing
Sawyer looks at her mom in shock "Why are you mad?"
Brooke looks at Peyton "Yeah, why are you mad?"
Peyton thinks about it for a moment "I guess I'm not"
"Well don't you want to kiss her?" Sawyer asks "I thought you liked kissing her"
Peyton shakes her head "Sawyer, you're too little to understand what's going on! Come on let's go swimming!"
"I am not too little!" Sawyer yells stomping her foot and pouting
"Come on little miss!" Brooke says "We'll all go swimming" she adds picking up Luke
Peyton, Brooke, Sawyer and Luke play in the water for the better part of the afternoon. They laugh and splash and have a great time. Peyton notices that Sawyer is rubbing her eyes.
"Do you need a nap baby?"
"No, mommy" she replies yawning
Brooke laughs "Come on, munchkin" she says "I need a nap"
"Me too" Peyton says
"Well if you guys are tired that I guess we could lay down and watch a movie while you take a nap"
"That sounds like a plan to me" Peyton says laughing
Peyton picks up all the beach supplies and then she picked up Sawyer. Brooke carries Luke into the house and takes him to his crib. Peyton settled Sawyer in her room with a movie and then walks back into the living room. Brooke is sitting on the couch.
"Ug" Peyton says crashing down next to Brooke
"What's wrong?"
"I got sunburned today"
"Oh no!" Brooke says
"I know. When Sawyer was holding onto my shoulders I wanted to scream it hurt so bad"
"Well I have some cream in my bathroom that will take the sting right out of that!" Brooke says smiling
"Can I use some?"
"Of course" Brooke says smiling "Come on I'll help you"
"Maybe I'll take a shower first and rise off then use it"
"Ok" Brooke says getting up "I'll get it for you"
"Thanks" Peyton says following her
The two walk into Brooke's bathroom. Brooke walks over to her medicine cabinet and grabs a bottle and hands it to Peyton
"Thank you" Peyton says smiling
"If you need any help let me know"
"I will" Peyton says smiling
"You can shower in here if you want too" Brooke says smiling
Peyton smiles back "Why do you have a camera in here to watch me?"
"You wish!" Brooke says "My shower just has better water pressure"
"Ok, thanks" Peyton says as Brooke walks out.
Peyton strips down and looks at herself in the mirror. She looks like a lobster. She sighs and turns on the shower. She makes it lukewarm so her body doesn't sting. She climbs in and lets the water cascade over her body.
Brooke stands outside the bathroom door and after she hears the water running for a few minutes she opens the door slowly. Peyton doesn't realize it. Brooke sits the baby monitor on the sink and then slowly undresses. She thought she'd give this a try. She wanted to make a move she just didn't know how. She was off to a good start by offering Peyton her shower. She slowly pulls the shower curtain back to looks at Peyton, who was standing still with her eyes close.
"You're beautiful" Brooke whispers softly
Peyton jumps at the sound of Brooke's voice "I'm hideously sunburned!"
"You look beautiful" Brooke repeats
Peyton's face turns red but she turns all the way around so Brooke was now looking at the front of her body.
"What are you doing?" Peyton asks
"Spying on you" Brooke says with a smile
"You don't have to spy" Peyton says softly "You can just look"
"Oh I can, huh?"
"Yes" Peyton says "You can touch too if you want" she adds walking towards where Brooke was standing
"I was thinking maybe I'd join you"
Peyton smiles "I'd like that"
"Are you sure?"
"Yes"
Brooke smiles and pulls the shower curtain back.
"Talk about beautiful"
"Oh stop it!" Brooke says climbing into the shower with Peyton
"Did you lock the door?" Peyton asks softly
"Yes" Brooke says
"Just in case Sawyer comes in"
"I understand" Brooke says "That's why I locked it"
Peyton smiles at her. She was nervous about being naked in front of Brooke. Brooke could tell by the way she was holding her arms.
"You don't have to hide your body, Peyt" Brooke says "It's beautiful"
"I've had two kids, Brooke"
"And you can't tell"
Peyton smiles softly at her
Brooke reaches out and pulls Peyton close to her. Their bodies touch and Peyton wraps her arms around Brooke.
"I want to kiss you" Peyton says softly
"Go ahead" Brooke says smiling
Peyton smiles and leans down grabbing Brooke's lips with her own. Brooke kisses her back moaning as she does. Without giving it any thought Brooke opens her mouth and Peyton slips her tongue in and Brooke moans again. Peyton pulls away from the kiss. She takes a deep breath and then goes to lower her head again but instead of kissing Brooke she attaches her lips to her neck. Peyton kisses and sucks Brooke's neck lightly.
"oh, baby" Brooke says softly
Peyton smiles and continues down a trail to Brooke's chest. She kisses right above Brooke's breasts teasing her lightly. She then softly licks one of Brooke's nipples and Brooke moans very loudly. Peyton kneels down as the water cascades over both of them. She takes one of her breasts in her mouth and runs her hand over the other. She licks Brooke's nipple and Brooke buckles. Peyton then starts slowly kissing down Brooke's body. Brooke moans and Peyton continues to move down. She stops right about the promise land and kisses slowly around. Brooke was loving every minute of it. She wanted to feel Peyton's tongue on her most private area. Peyton slowly spread Brooke open looking at her. She smiles up and Brooke smiles at her.
"Are you sure?" Brooke asks softly
"Yes, sweetheart" Peyton says "Are you?"
"I want this more than anything"
With that Peyton softly kissed Brooke's outer business. She runs her tongue along the slit between Brooke's lips. Brooke moans and Peyton runs her tongue along the length of Brooke hitting her clit last.
Brooke starts to panic and her eyes fly open "STOP!" she shouts startling Peyton who pulls away
"What's wrong?" Peyton asks looking at Brooke
"I don't know" Brooke says
"I thought you wanted this"
"I do" Brooke says "More than anything. It's just…"
"It's just what?"
Brooke didn't know what was wrong. She was freaking out.
"I'm freaking out!" Brooke says honestly "Do you know how long I've wanted this?"
Peyton stands up "No" she says a little angry that Brooke stopped her "And if you want it so badly then why did you stop me?"
"I don't know" Brooke says "I've wanted this for years. For us to be together. For you to want me but now…" She says stopping
The angry disappears when Peyton sees the fear in Brooke's eyes "Brooke, what is it?"
"What if you realize this isn't what you want? What if you're just doing this because you just lost your husband and then we can't even be friends because we crossed that line?"
Peyton sighs "It's too soon" she says softly kissing Brooke "It's new to both of us and maybe it's too soon for us to be doing this"
"It's not that I don't want you, Peyt" Brooke says softly "I just don't want to lose you"
"You're not going to lose me" Peyton says
"You want to be with me?"
"Yes, sweetheart" Peyton says smiling "I want to be with you but I think you're right our first time should be like this. It should be romantic and not hurried. We can wait"
Brooke smiles "Thank you"
Peyton just kisses Brooke softly on the mouth.
"Come on" Peyton says "Let's finish this shower so we can get over to Haley and Nathan's"
The two quickly shower and get out. Peyton pats herself dry and Brooke helps her put the cream on her sunburn. As they were getting dressed Luke starts crying.
"I'll go get him" Brooke says
"Thanks honey"
Brooke turned to look at Peyton. Peyton looks back at her.
"What?" Peyton says
"You just called me honey"
"No I didn't" Peyton says
Brooke smiles at her "Yes, you did" she says walking out of the room
Peyton finishes and walks out to see Brooke sitting on the couch with Sawyer and Luke. Peyton decides to listen to what they're talking about.
"Aunt Brooke" Sawyer says
"What baby girl?"
"I'm confused"
"About what, sweetheart"
"You and mommy kissing"
"We already talked about that"
"But I haven't seen you and mommy kiss since we've been home"
"Oh" Brooke says "You want to see us kiss?" she asked confused
"How will you know if you love each other if you don't kiss?"
Brooke laughs "I already know"
"You know if you love mommy?"
"Yes" Brooke says
Sawyer looks up at Brooke "Well?" she says staring at her
Brooke starts laughing harder "Well what?"
"Do you love my mommy?"
Brooke sighs "Will it upset you if I do?"
"No" Sawyer says "I like living here with you and I like that you take care of me and Luke. You also made mommy feel a lot better. Remember when we came here and mommy just stayed in her room and then had to go away for a long time?"
"Yes" Brooke says "That was scary wasn't it?"
"Uh huh" Sawyer says while shaking her head yes "But you made mommy better"
"The doctors made her better, sweetheart"
"I think you did, Aunt Brooke"
Brooke smiles "I love you baby girl"
"I love you too" Sawyer says hugging her "Do you love mommy too?"
Brooke sighs "Yes" she says "I love your mommy a lot"
Sawyer smiles and hugs Brooke again "Mommy loves you too"
Brooke looks at her "How do you know that?"
Sawyer smiles "I can tell"
Now Peyton was curious. She'd never said anything to Sawyer about loving Brooke so she wanted to know why she would say that.
"Sawyer Brooke Scott!" Brooke snaps "You tell me right now!"
Sawyer smiles and jumps off the couch. Peyton ducks into the kitchen so Sawyer wouldn't see her. She watches as Sawyer walks over to the stand and pulls out her sketch pad. Peyton shakes her head. She had wondered where that had gone too. Sawyer then walks back over to the couch and sits down.
"I found this" Sawyer says handing it to Brooke "Mommy doesn't know I have it"
"Sawyer" Brooke says "You shouldn't take mommy's sketch book. These are her private thoughts"
"Oh" Sawyer says "Then you shouldn't look at it"
Peyton smiles and laughs a little. She wanted to see what Brooke was going to say to get out of this.
"Have you looked at it?" Brooke asks
Sawyer's eyes get really big and she shakes her head yes.
Brooke gives her a stern look "Well what should we do about that?"
Sawyer looks scared "You could look at it too then we'd both be in trouble"
"I don't want to be in trouble" Brooke says
"But that's how I know mommy loves you" Sawyer says
Brooke sighs "It's in here?"
Sawyer shakes her head yes
"Then maybe I should get in trouble too"
Sawyer smiles and Brooke starts to open the book.
Peyton decides to let her look at it.
Brooke turns the pages. She sees drawings of Sawyer and Luke and Jamie. She smiles at how talented Peyton is and then she stops and Peyton knows that she's found the page Sawyer is talking about.
"See look, Aunt Brooke" Sawyer says pointing at the drawing "Hearts mean love and mommy drew a picture of you two holding hands with a heart around it and some words that I can't read"
Brooke smiles "I see the heart"
"What do the words says?" Sawyer asks "Does it say mommy loves you?"
Brooke reads the caption "Maybe you don't just have one true love?"
Sawyer makes a funny face "What does that mean?"
"I think it means that your mom like me"
"I know she likes you" Sawyer says in her duh voice "Does she love you?"
"Why do you care so much?"
Sawyer shrugs her shoulders.
"Are you guys ready?" Peyton says walking out thinking that Brooke had been under fire long enough
"Mommy!" Sawyer says running to her
Peyton looks at her funny "What is up with you?"
Sawyer gives her a sad look "Mommy, I'm just excited to see you"
"You just saw me a few minutes ago"
Sawyer laughs "Well I'm excited to see you again"
Peyton rolls her eyes "What's wrong with her?"
"She's trying to hide the fact that we were looking at your sketch pad"
"Oh you were huh?"
"Yeah" Sawyer says looking down "I'm sorry mommy"
Peyton picks her up "It's ok baby" she replies kissing her
"It is?" Sawyer asks
"Yep" Peyton says "Come on we're going to be late"
"I've got little man" Brooke says standing up
"Great thanks!" Peyton says walking over and kissing her
"Peyton!" Brooke says
"What?" Peyton says looking at her
"You just kissed me in front of Sawyer"
"I know" Peyton says "Can't I kiss my girlfriend whenever I want?"
Brooke looks at her confused "Girlfriend?"
"Yes, Brooke" Peyton says "You're my girlfriend, aren't you?"
"Um" Brooke says "What happen from the bathroom to here?"
"Nothing" Peyton says smiling
"You're odd" Brooke says
"Come one, honey!" Peyton says grabbing Brooke's hand
Brooke just looks at her and follows her out the door. They get into the car and head to Nathan and Haley's house. They pull into the driveway and Peyton parks the car.
"Hey Sawyer" Brooke says "Remember that mommy and Aunt Brooke kissing and holding hands is a secret"
"Ok" Sawyer says
"That means you can't tell anyone here" Brooke says
"I know what a secret is" Sawyer says
"Ok" Brooke says
Peyton looks at Brooke "They're going to find out sooner or later"
"I'd prefer later" Brooke answers
"You got it" Peyton says taking Luke out of his carseat
They walk into the house.
"Jamie!" Sawyer yells
"In here" Jamie yells from the back room
Sawyer takes off running
"She's so going to tell him" Peyton says
"Tell him what?" Haley asks walking in
"Nothing" Peyton says "Sorry we're late"
"No problem" Haley says "Everything ok?"
"Everything's fine" Peyton says smiling "We're just late"
"I see" Haley says noticing how happy Peyton looks
"Would you guys like a drink?" Haley asks
Brooke starts laughing "Peyton can't drink"
"You know what" Peyton says "I'm feeling good and Julia said I'd know when I was ready and I think I'm ready. I'd love a drink"
Haley and Brooke both look at her.
"I promise I'll be good." Peyton says "A beer just sounds good. Plus if I'm going to move on with my life I have to learn to control it!" she says walking away
Haley grabs Brooke's arm to keep her back "Ok, what's going on with her?"
"What do you mean?" Brooke asks
"She's met someone hasn't she?"
"What!" Brooke says surprised
"She's extremely happy" Haley says "She's glowing. Something's up with her and I think she's found a new man"
"What?" Brooke says "Her husband just died"
"I know but something's different with her" Haley says with a smile
"I think she's finally at peace"
"I'm telling you, Brooke, something is up with that girl!"
Brooke smiles softly because that glow was caused by her. She follows Haley into the kitchen and sits down next to Peyton.
"Hey girls" Nathan says walking in "I hope you like burgers because that's what I'm making!"
"Sounds great" Peyton says
"Give me that nephew of mine" Nathan says walking over taking Luke from Peyton
"He looks like Lucas"
"Shut up, Nathan!" Haley says "Don't talk about you know who"
Peyton looks at her funny "Why can't he talk about Lucas?"
"Because we don't want to upset you"
Peyton laughs "It's fine and he does look like Lucas"
"Can we go swimming?" Jamie asks walking into the kitchen
Peyton looks at Sawyer "You were in the water all day!"
She shrugs "But I love swimming!" she says smiling
"Yes, you can go" Haley says "But you have to stay in the shallow end and Sawyer you have to wear your water wings"
"Aw… Aunt Haley" she whines "Do I have too"
"Yes!"
"Fine" she says huffing off upstairs
"They are so funny!" Nathan says
"Like brother and sister" Peyton adds "I'm glad Sawyer has Jamie"
Haley smiles "Are you excited for school to start?"
"No" Peyton says "I'm going to miss my baby girl"
"You could be room mother" Haley says
"Room mother?" Peyton asks
"Yeah, you go in and do all kinds of shit for the teacher" Nathan says "Haley signed up one year and then she couldn't do it so I had to be room mother! Sucks!"
Brooke laughs "That might be fun" she says "We could take turns. I'd like to go to school with Sawyer sometimes too"
"I'll look into it" Peyton says
"The kids come running down the stairs"
"We're ready!"
"We'll come sit outside so you don't have to wear your wings" Peyton says
"Thanks mommy!"
Peyton smiles and everyone walks outside. They get settled around the table. Sawyer and Jamie jump into the pool. They are playing and splashing for a few minutes and then Sawyer swims over to Jamie.
"Can I ask you something?" Sawyer says looking around to make sure the adults were busy
"Sure"
"Can two girls kiss?"
Jamie starts laughing "Where on Earth would you see two girls kissing?"
"In the living room"
Jamie frowns "What? Did you see it on TV or something?"
Sawyer thinks a minute "I just want to know if two girls can kiss!" she repeats
"Any two people can kiss"
"Do you know any two girls that kiss?" Sawyer asks
"No" Jamie says "But I've seen it on TV before"
"Oh" Sawyer says
"Why are you asking me?"
"No reason" Sawyer asks "How come all the people we know who are married are a boy and a girl?"
"That's just how it is"
"Can two girls get married?"
"I don't know" Jamie says "I guess so. Seriously, Sawyer, why are you asking me these questions?"
"I can't tell you" Sawyer says "It's a secret and I can't tell anyone"
"We're best friends so you can tell me anything"
"No, I can't." Sawyer says "I promised"
"Ok" Jamie says frowning
Sawyer swims away and starts playing with the basketball hoop on the edge of the pool. Jamie swims over next to her.
"Sawyer" Jamie says "You can trust me"
"I know" Sawyer says
"Then you can tell me what you were talking about"
Sawyer sighs "I can't right now." She says "Maybe later"
"Ok" Jamie says
"Come on let's play" Sawyer says splashing him
The two kids play in the pool and the adults talk until it's time to eat. Then everyone gets their food and sits down.
"So" Haley says "What are you plans for when school starts?" she asks looking at Peyton
"Probably run my company with you"
"We need some new artists"
"I know" Peyton says "We'll start looking"
"You look really happy" Haley says to Peyton
"I'm learning to cope" Peyton says "And I'm starting to feel at ease again. There isn't a day that goes by that I don't think about Lucas but he'd want me to be happy and to make sure the kids are happy so that's what I'm doing"
"That he would" Nathan says "He's gone but you and the kids aren't so you have to live your life and be happy"
Haley has a funny look on her face
"Are you ok, Hales?" Peyton asks
"Yeah" She says "It's just I don't understand how you can be this great after losing your husband"
"Haley!" Nathan says "She had to be checked into a nut house! I'd say she grieved and is getting her life back on track!"
Peyton looks at her "Listen, Hales" she says softly "I laid in bed, I neglected my children, I drank myself into rehab and now I'm on the upward climb and I'm not going to feel guilty about that. I've had a lot of therapy too. My children and Brooke have helped so much. I thank God every day that I have them. Brooke listens to me and she's really helped me to get back on my feet."
Brooke smiles at all the things that Peyton was saying.
"We're here for you too, Peyton" Haley says
"I know that, Hales" Peyton sighs "But the kids and I live with Brooke and she has been wonderful! The kids have really bonded with her and it's been great for all of us. When I came home I really felt like I wasn't alone and that no matter what happens or how much I feel like I couldn't do it without Lucas Brooke would be there to help me out!"
Brooke's smile grew. She was so in love with Peyton.
"Wow, if I didn't know any better I'd think Brooke was the new man in your life" Haley said with a huff
Nathan's face drop "Haley!" he says
"What?" Haley says "We've been here for Peyton too! She could have stayed with us and we would have helped her out!"
"Why are you so upset?" Nathan asks "Brooke and Peyton have been friends forever. Of course, Peyton would lean on her more. Plus, Brooke is single and it was a lot easier for her to take Sawyer and Luke then it would have been for us with our crazy lifestyle. You owe Peyton an apology for saying that!"
"I am not going to apologize for anything I have said! Lucas was my best friend and sitting here today with Peyton is like she's moved on and hasn't a care in the world that he's gone. So who are you seeing? There has to be someone. You're too happy to not be dating someone"
Sawyer looks up at her Aunt "Why are you yelling at my mommy? You're going to make her cry and then she'll leave us again!" she says with tears in her eyes
Brooke's mama bear instincts come out and she gets pissed. She gets up and walks over and picks Sawyer up. "It's ok baby don't cry. I'll make sure mommy doesn't get so sad that she leaves you again"
Haley huffs "You two have the oddest relationship! Seriously, I mean I know that you two have been the best of friends but come on."
Sawyer looks at Brooke "I want to go home"
Peyton stands up "I understand that Lucas' death was hard on you as well, Haley, and I'm sorry that you feel I didn't lean on you enough but the fact of that matter is Brooke is my best friend and has been forever and of course she'd be the one I'd lean on! Our relationship isn't odd at all. We support each other and care about each other and love each other for who we are!"
Sawyer looks at Peyton with the biggest eyes "Mommy!" she says with a gasp "You weren't supposed to tell anyone that you are in love with Aunt Brooke"
Haley's face turned a shade of white that Peyton had never seen before. The look of shock and horror was unbelievable. Nathan took a sip of his beer and sitting in shock as well. Brooke stands up not sure what to do. Haley stands as well.
"What did Sawyer just say?"
Sawyer looks at her mom and then at her Aunt Brooke "I can't tell you it's a secret"
Nathan smiles a little at his niece "Come here munchkin" he says and Brooke puts her down so she can walk over to him "You don't have to keep secrets from me. You can tell me anything"
Sawyer shakes her head "You'll be mad and mommy and Aunt Brooke will not kiss anymore"
Haley walks over to Peyton and slaps her across the face.
"Haley!" Nathan shouts
"Get the fuck out of my house right now!" Haley says
Nathan stands up and walks over to his wife "Haley!"
"No, Nathan!" She says "I want them gone!" and with that she takes Sawyer from Nathan and picks Luke up from his stroller and walks into the house.
Nathan just stands there not knowing what to do.
"Brooke, get our things" Peyton says walking into the house following Haley
"What the hell do you think you're doing with my children?"
"These are Lucas' children and they will not be exposed to such immoral behavior that he would definitely not approve of!"
Peyton gets an inch from Haley's face "Lucas is dead and these are my children and you will not have any say as to what they are or are not exposed too!" she says taking Luke from Haley "Sawyer go to the car"
Sawyer runs out of the house and Brooke walks in. "Peyton" she says
"Take Luke and I'll be right out"
Brooke takes him and walks out of the house as Peyton told her to do.
"And as for Brooke and I there is nothing immoral about two people who are in love!"
Haley's mouth dropped and she was about to say something.
"Save it!" Peyton says "You won't have to worry about "immoral" people around your house because my children and I won't be back here! And I'm pretty sure it's safe to say neither will Brooke!" with those words Peyton walks out of the room and out of Haley's house slamming the door behind her. She walks to the car and gets in. Sawyer is crying. "What's wrong, sweetheart?" Peyton asks
"You're going to leave me with Aunt Haley now and you're mad at me!" Sawyer says crying harder
Peyton turns around and looks at Sawyer "I am not going to leave you with Aunt Haley! You will always go with me no matter what! I was sick for a little while but I'm fine now sweetheart! I'm not going anywhere and neither are you! And I'm not mad at you sweetheart. I'm mad at your Aunt Haley!"
Sawyer sniffles "Ok mommy" she says starting to calm down
Brooke looks at Peyton "So I suppose you're going to leave me aren't you?"
"What the hell are you talking about?" Peyton snaps
"Well Haley didn't take it that well and she called us immoral"
"Who fucking cares!" Peyton says "Fuck her!"
Brooke looks at her "Are you serious?"
"Yes" Peyton says "Now let's go home"
Peyton starts the car and they head home. No one says another word. All Brooke could think about was the impact Haley's reaction was going to have on their relationship and she was sad that it was over before it really began because she knew Peyton and she knew she wouldn't be ok with all of this.
