A/N-Honestly this should have been up awhile ago, but I got stuck half way through the chapter and it ended up taking a different turn then I wanted so I was going to chuck it but decided against it because I think I can work with it. So, here is the new chapter…Enjoy!
Part 2 Ch. 7: Lonely Hearts Club
Brianna walks up on the river court and reaches for Skye only to find out that she wasn't there. Brianna sits up and looks around. Skye's clothes are gone. Brianna stands up, grabs the blanket and starts running.
~~~/~~~/~~~/~~~
Brooke keeps pacing the floor and Peyton follows her with her eyes.
"I'm getting worried, baby."
"I know that Brooke, but there must be an explanation as to why Brianna isn't here, now stop pacing and sit down. The stress isn't good for the baby."
Brooke sits down next to her wife and lays her head on her shoulder.
"This isn't like Brianna, Peyton."
Peyton grabs Brooke's hand and kisses it.
"I'm sure we will get an explanation when she walks through that door."
Peyton's phone buzzes and she sighs.
I'll explain when I get home…so sry.
Peyton shows her phone to Brooke and Brooke releases a sigh of relief.
"She's grounded," Brooke announces while she wipes her tears away.
"Brooke, don't you think that's a little hasty?"
Brooke stands up and glares at her wife.
"No I don't. Brianna has rules and she broke them and now she has to suffer the consequences and you can sleep on the couch tonight," Brooke says before stomping upstairs.
Peyton looks at Brooke's retreating form.
"What the hell did I do?" Peyton whispers to herself.

When Brianna made it to Skye's house she saw Skye sitting on her porch swinging on the porch swing. Brianna takes a breath and walks onto the porch.
"What was last night?"
Skye looks at Brianna and shrugs her shoulders.
"A goodbye?" Skye says jokingly.
Brianna glares at Skye and sits down next to her.
"Brianna I don't know what last night was okay? I knew that I was missing you and we were talking about our first time and it just got really emotional for me."
"Why'd you leave before I woke up?"
"I got scared."
Brianna leans back and lets the swing, swing.
"When I woke up I felt like I was just some whore. I didn't like that feeling Skyler. I really didn't."
Skye takes a hold of Brianna's hand and kisses it softly.
"I'm sorry."
"Skye, where does this leave us? Because right now I'm lost, you broke up with me and then now I'm just confused."
"As of right now we just call it like it is and say it's a lapse in judgment and move on," Skye says even though in her stomach and head and heart it hurt to say it.
Brianna lets her hand drop and gets up from the swing.
"Okay, um…I have to go," Brianna hastily wipes her tears. "Do me a favor and don't talk to me."
Skye buries her head in her hands once Brianna runs off her porch.
Ty walks out the door and sits down next to his sister and rubs her back.
"Skye, what's wrong?"
Skye looks at Ty and she has tears in her eyes and they are running down her cheeks.
"I just broke my own heart," Skye says before walking inside leaving Ty confused. Sometimes men don't get it.
"I guess I don't get it," Ty says as he shakes his head.

Peyton walks into her room and sees Brooke straightening out her dresser draws.
"Honey, what are you doing?"
Brooke turns around and puts her hands on her hips.
"Don't you honey me?"
"Brooke, what is going on?"
"Tell me Peyton. When our son is born," Brooke puts her hands on her stomach. "Are you just going to let him get away with everything in life? Do you just want be the fun parent?"
"Of course not, we are a united front."
"Not with Brianna apparently," Brooke says as she takes a seat on the edge of her bed.
Peyton sits down next to Brooke and sighs.
"Sometimes I just don't know if I can be a parent towards Brianna."
"Because she's close in age to us?" Brooke asks.
Peyton nods her head and looks at Brooke.
"That's part of it. The other part of it is that we have so much in common that I feel like her friend and not a mother figure like I should."
"I'm sure she feels like that sometimes too, but Peyton, at the end of the day you are still the adult and she is still the child. She broke the rules and now she has to have consequences."
Peyton nods her head and smiles softly at her wife.
"You're right. We will have to talk to Brianna when she comes home. I swear that I am going to get a hang of this parenting thing."
Brooke grabs her wife's hand.
"We both will."

Brianna walks up to Mark's door and knocks. She stands waiting for him and when he opens the door he starts apologizing to her.
"I'm really sorry about what I said Brianna. I didn't mean it. You have to know that."
Brianna nods her head.
"It's alright. Mark, here's the thing…"
"I know where this is going Bri, but I don't want that to happen. I made a mistake okay? I can fix it. You just have to give me a chance."
Brianna looks at Mark with guilt in her eyes.
"You didn't make a mistake. I did."
"What are you talking about?"
"I cheated on you."
Mark freezes and he stands looking at Brianna. After awhile he sighs and Brianna turns around.
"It's okay, we can get passed it."
Brianna turns back around and shakes her head.
"No, you might be able to get passed it, but I can't."
"What are you saying?"
Brianna shrugs her shoulders and cries out a laugh.
"I don't know. I've just been confused. I would be just fine if you hadn't have moved back here. You just confuse the hell out of me." Brianna shakes her head and backs away. "I have to go."
Mark watches Brianna walk in the direction to her house. Mark steps off of his steps and walks in a different direction with a location in mind.
~~~/~~~/~~~/~~~
Mark approaches Skye's house and sees her sitting on her porch with her phone in her hand.
Skye looks up and sees Mark's expression and she cringes.
"She told you?"
"She didn't tell me who, but I'm not retarded I knew you slept with her."
"It shouldn't have happened," Skye says.
Mark nods his head and sits down next to Skye.
"She broke up with me," Mark states. "I figured it was because she wanted to date you."
Skye looks down at her phone hoping a text or a phone call will come through.
"She won't return my calls or texts."
"What does that mean?"
Skye sighs and puts her phone away.
"She joined the Lonely Hearts Club."
A/N-I never really planned for Mark and Brianna to break-up so quickly, but I don't really like Mark. I think I have a new plan for Mark though. REVIEW PLEASE!
