A/N: No, Brooke is not Jenny's mom.

Chapter 7

Brooke led Jake back to the car. "Let's go home."

They both climbed in by their respective sides. The car lights turned on and the fluorescent light lighted the whole area. The car made a whirring sound and slowly reversed and then turned around to drive out of the forest.

Peyton was speechless.

Lucas nudged her. Peyton didn't respond.

Lucas grabbed a stick from nearby and poked her with it.

"What the hell?" Peyton yelled irritated that he poked her with a tree branch.

"What does Jake mean by "just like two years ago"?" Lucas asked, ending with a shudder.

Peyton took a deep breath. "Brooke and Jake lost their virginity together. They slept together all the time. Then one night, Jake got really drunk and slept with Nikki. She got pregnant, and Brooke went ballistic. She started having sex with all these random guys."

Lucas eyes opened wide. "So she's Tree Hill's renowned slut . . . because of Jake?"

Peyton nodded, and almost started gloating about it.

Lucas didn't say anything and he got up and walked to his truck. Peyton followed suit.

The ride to Peyton's house was silent. Lucas looked so intent, staring at the windshield. When the truck stopped in front of Peyton's house, he gave a nod with his head.

She silently opened the truck door and jumped out. She slammed the door shut behind her.

The truck sped off, leaving a trail of dust.

And Peyton.

She wiped a tear from her eye.

Lucas didn't love her, he loved Brooke.

Lucas was fuming. Seriously fuming. If it was possible, the brooding boy's eyes could melt someone like the Wicked Witch of the West.

"Help, Help, I'm melting. . ."

Okay that's enough.

Lucas returned to Haley and Nathan's apartment with a broken, bruised, and stomped on heart. His ego was just a little bruised. He knocked on the apartment door, only to find the door unlocked.

There Haley and Nathan were, both sitting on the couch, both with questioning looks on their faces. They looked like the perfect couple.

"Do you know what time it is?" Haley asked sternly.

"No, mom. I don't know the time." Lucas said tiredly. He tucked his car keys into his back pocket.

Haley and Nathan continued staring at Lucas.

Lucas turned to them. "No, I don't have a freaking clue what time it is."

"You look like you need a hug, Lucas." Haley tenderly said. She held out her arms for him.

Lucas walked towards her.

"No, Lucas doesn't need a hug." Nathan snapped. He swatted her hands down. "I need a hug because annoying Lucas is still here."

Haley patted Nathan's back tenderly in mock sympathy.

Lucas felt cheated. "Hey, where's my hug?"

Nathan and Haley moved over on the couch and Lucas sat next to Haley.

"What's the story?" Haley tenderly asked in best friend fashion.

Lucas sighed and rested his head on the back of the sofa. "I saw Brooke meet Peyton at the bar with Jake. She came in really confident and everyone looked at her. So she sits down on this slightly worn chair-."

"Cliff-notes Lucas!" Haley cried in impatience.

Lucas gave Haley a broody look. "Fine. I take Brooke out in the alley. I kiss her. She rejects me. We go back. Her and Jake leave all lovey-dovey. Then I see them doing it in the back of her car."

Haley had a horrified expression on her face.

"In her bug? It's tiny. And Jake is so tall!" Haley exclaimed.

Nathan wrapped his arm around Haley. "We do just fine in my car. And that is pretty small." Nathan smirked at Lucas.

Lucas clapped his hands over his ears. "Ew. Ew. Ew. Ew. Ew! Censor it you guys!"

Haley rolled her eyes. "Like you didn't do it with Brooke in her car."

Lucas didn't hear her because he still had his hands over his ears.

Nathan shoved him.

Lucas took his hands from his ears. "Is it safe now?"

Haley nodded.

"Lucas go to bed so Haley and I can go do it in my car." Nathan said nonchalantly.

Lucas screamed. "No!!! My virgin ears."

Haley slapped the back of his head. "You are anything but a virgin. You man-whore."

Lucas made a disgruntled face. "It was just a phase." He protested.

"Whatever." Haley said uninterested.

Nathan got up. "Good night Luke." He walked to the bedroom door. "Oops. I meant good night man-slut."

Haley patted his back. "He doesn't really mean it." Haley waited a beat. "You ho."

Lucas plopped back on the couch, eyes closed. "Nathan is brain-washing you." He called out.

Haley got up from the couch. "With what? All the sex?" She laughed and walked out.

Lucas shook his head in disgust. "God, that's just gross."

Brooke was holding Jenny and rocking her to sleep. Just when Jenny was about to fall asleep, the doorbell rang. Silently, Brooke cursed.

She walked over to the front door with Jenny in her arms. She shifted the baby so she could open the door with her left hand.

"Peyton!" Brooke gasped. She tried to act all nonchalant and act like she was home alone but mentally slapped herself in the head when she realized she was holding Jenny.

Her forehead crinkled in confusion when she saw Jenny in Brooke's arms.

"Babe, did you get Jenny to go to sleep get?" Jake called out, completely unaware of Peyton's presence. When he walked in the hallway and saw her, he froze.

Peyton glanced from Jake to Brooke. "Babe? What the hell is going on?" Peyton screamed. "This is about Lucas right?"

Brooke shook her head. "It's not like that." She paused and thought for a second. "You back-stabbing bitch." She passed Jenny to Jake who was watching helplessly from the side lines.

Jake slowly walked backwards.

"Who's the slutty whore?" Peyton challenged.

"You're just pissed that I got Jake. You thought you could get any guy. Well news flash - he loves me." Brooke retorted.

Peyton just stood there fuming. "I got Lucas." She stated. Peyton turned to leave.

Brooke wasn't going to let her have the last word. "Peyton." Brooke called out nicely. Peyton walked towards Brooke in hopes that Brooke might have had a change of heart.

Peyton stopped in front of Brooke.

Brooke slapped Peyton as hard as she could.

Peyton held her cheek and ran out the door, tears dripping down her face.

Jake didn't love her. He loved Brooke.
