Chapter 1 "What Happened?"

The two girls celebrated their victory against Nikki. Their plan to send Nikki on a wild chase to look for Jake and jenny had worked out. That night they hung out and played pool...laughed at each others not so funny jokes and occasionally looked over at each other with a look of complete satisfaction. For the first time and a very long time Brooke and Peyton felt like things were returning to normal. Normal was not really a word to describe the happenings in Tree Hill lately but normal was where Peyton and Brooke were approaching... or at least it seemed.

"Oh god Brooke... Tell me why we ever stopped hanging out again" Peyton said taking another sip of her beer which they had purchased with the fake id's they had. Peyton wobbled a little as her smirk seem to fade a bit as Brooke just looked disappointingly up at an apparently drunk Peyton.

"Oh... yeah" Peyton said in a very low voice wishing she hadn't asked. Peyton pulled back her long blonde curls and laid herself on the pool table. She looked very tired and exhausted. Brooke let go of the disappointing look and walked over giggling. She also was a bit drunk.

"how drunk are we exactly...?' Brooke asked while laughing over nothing. Brooke laid down with Peyton. They stared up at the ceiling pointing to the lights. The sight of them two relaxing on the pool table made the bartender walk over.

"Um girls... that is not a bed" The Bartender said while gesturing to help them down. "you girls want me to call a cab?"

"Sure.... sure... yeah cabs are nice" Brooke said while catching her balance on the floor "I'm going to stay at your house tonight ok... I'm in no mood to go home" Peyton nodded her head in agreement and the girls walked arm and arm out of the bar and waited for the cab to arrive.

The Next morning Peyton and Brooke laid there under the sheets in undershirts and shorts. The smell of fresh air awakened the sleeping Brooke. The sun shined brightly into the room. Brooke let out a sigh of Relief and turned over to see her friend awakening also.

"It's a beautiful day" Brooke said gathering eye focus

"It's Perfect'

"Lets go do something great today" Brooke and Peyton exchanged smiles. Brooke sat up from the bed and held her head in pain...which was an affect of the previous night drinking.

"My head...oh god" Brooke said as she laid herself back down. Peyton slightly laughed.... while she was laughing a look of confusion came across her face.

"Hey Brooke... Do you remember what happened last night" Peyton asked trying to remember herself. Brooke rubbed her forehead and began thinking up an answer...as if she got a spark of energy she sat up quickly.

"Wait!...did, um....that couldn't have happened...Peyton?" Brooke tried sitting up but the head ache was overwhelming so she sat back down. Peyton looked a little confused. Peyton searched for something to say but not really seemed to make sense at the moment. A awkward silence poured through the room.
