At Brooke and Peyton's Lockers
Peyton was doing her best to pull a book out of her locker and balance her crutches. She was almost successful but she dropped a bunch of papers by Brooke's foot, whose locker was right next to hers.
"Oohh more love notes and drawings of my boyfriend for me to read" Brooke said sarcastically
Peyton rolled her eyes. She tried to bend to one side and pick them up, since she couldn't bend the other leg.
"Brooke I can't bend could you-" Peyton began
"Peyton I have faith in you, if you think about how to pick up those papers as much as you thought about how to pick up Lucas, you'll be done in no time" she said with a smile
"Brooke you can't even be civil? I'm just asking you to pick up some papers" Peyton asked
"Civil went out the window when I found that letter" Brooke said as she walked away
"I guess it did" Peyton muttered
"You tell me you love my boyfriend, then you tell the whole school I have a kid and then you want a favor. Unbelievable" Brooke said as she fixed her hair
"Your sister told the whole school you have a kid" Peyton answered quickly
"If you hadn't made the joke she wouldn't have said it" Brooke continued
"How can you blame this on me? I wasn't even directing the joke at you" Peyton said defensively
"Okay" Brooke said sarcastically
"Is this how bad we've gotten? You're siding with Rachel over me"? Peyton asked
"Yes" Brooke answered quickly as she turned and walked away
Peyton scoffed
"She'll come around" Mouth said as he began picking up the papers
"Thanks, and I don't think she will" Peyton said as she took the stack from Mouth
Outside Tree Hill High after school
"Lucas, Lucas"! Brooke called as she jogged after him in front of the school
"Lucas" she said calmly as she touched his arm
"Hi" she said casually
Lucas stopped walking
"Hi" he said as he mimicked her tone of voice
Then he turned and continued walking
"Are you just going to keep walking away from me" Brooke called
Lucas stopped in his tracks
"That's a funny thing to hear from someone who never tried to stop me" he said sarcastically
"Why are you being so nasty to me" Brooke asked
"Where were you yesterday" he asked directly
"I was at Peyton's house and then I went home" she lied
"You didn't get any of my messages" he asked rhetorically
"I left my phone at Peyton's place" she said quickly
Lucas knew that she was with Nathan part of the time yesterday. And whether she was deliberately lying or conveniently leaving out facts, it made him curious. But he decided not to tell her that he saw them yesterday.
"Okay" he said calmly
Brooke walked over and gave him a hug. Over Brooke's shoulder Lucas could see Nathan staring in envy. He wasn't doing this to make Nathan jealous; he was doing this to see where Brooke's allegiance laid.
Over his shoulder Brooke could see Peyton watching them. She felt guilty for lying; but she didn't feel sorry for Peyton.
"I'll walk you to your car" he said as he held out his hand
Brooke smiled and laid her hand in his
At Peyton's House
Brooke hesitantly knocked on the door. Peyton answered quickly, as if she was expecting her.
Peyton opened the door, and immediately held out Brooke's cell phone.
Brooke looked at Peyton with a raised eyebrow
Peyton shook her hand that contained the phone as if to say "hurry up"
Brooke hesitantly took the phone without saying a word
Peyton stepped back and slammed the door
Brooke jumped at the loud "thud" of the door. She quickly knocked once more.
"What" Peyton said in an irritated tone as she quickly opened the door
"Why do you have such an attitude, I just wanted my phone" Brooke said simply
"Well you have it" Peyton said quickly as she crossed her arms
"Whatever" Brooke said as she turned and began to walk away
"You have a hell of a lot of nerve Brooke Davis" Peyton said
"What are you talking about"? She asked in an annoyed tone
"My house is right across the street from the Rivercourt" Peyton responded
Brooke glared at Peyton
"Say what you want about me; but you're a backstabbing bitch and you know it" Peyton replied
"Just because I have guts to tell someone how I feel-" Brooke began
"So you have the guts to tell him how you feel just not that you were hugged up with his brother" Peyton said in a matter of fact tone
"You bitch" Brooke said in a disgusted tone
"At least I'm an honest bitch" Peyton said calmly with a shrug of the shoulders
"For the last time, me coming over and finding out myself is not honesty" Brooke said as she began to walk away
"And for the record-" she began as she turned around
Peyton laughed aloud
"You are not only a bitch but you're a hypocritical bitch; because you know that me not telling Lucas is just as bad as you not telling me" Brooke said defensively
"You know Brooke, I've been wanting to know something. And it seems like you're the perfect person to ask. Which Scott is really the "big brother"? Peyton asked with a wink and a laugh
"Shutup" Brooke said angrily
"You can say that all you want, but I'm not the one who has blood on my hands" Peyton said calmly
"I'm leaving" Brooke said as she turned and began to walk away
"And you know what the icing on the cake is-" Peyton called out
"Lucas was here yesterday; right around the time you were at the Rivercourt with Nathan. So as much of a joy as it would be to tell him; he probably already knows"
Brooke stopped in her tracks in the drive way
"For once everyone will see Brooke Davis for who she really is" Peyton said spitefully
"Payback's a bitch" she called out with a smile as she closed her front door
Brooke stood there in shock. Peyton had definitely gotten in her head; so much that the things she said were starting to make sense. Brooke angrily got in her car and sped off
Author's Note: I wanted to explain something about my fanfic and my writing style. I am a descriptive writer (or at least I try my best to be). I want my readers to feel as if they are in the story. In the next couple chapters there will be a rather explicit chapter, I will post warnings again as always but I want to give you a heads up. If the sex bothers you don't read the chapter. I am not a soft porn addict or a sick person, but I don't have the advantages the TV show has. Imagery is very important to me, so to be frank, if the sex bothers you, skip the chapter. Thanks.
