Chapter 5

Unwanted guests disturb the peace

AN: Thank you to Christina (I'll try my hardest to write as many chapters as I can in one day, sound good?), oth/o.c.fan213, the anonymous reviewer, and NovStar for reviewing, it means a lot to me. I'll try to make the story as much to your liking as possible. And for everyone who wants to know why Jake left Jenny, he left her with his parents after his parents basically kicked him out of the house so he could go have a good time with Peyton, otherwise he would've stayed there. I'll try to add in that little part into Chapter 3, sorry for not adding it, must've slipped my mind. Once again, thank you for the reviews! Finally don't be afraid to give me some ideas to improve this story! That's all! Bye!

Brooke was the first to wake the next morning, although it was only because of Lucas's constant snoring. Thanks a lot Lucas, so much for my beauty sleep, she thought dryly to herself. As she turned over facing Lucas, hoping that she would fall back asleep, she was met face to face by Lucas, who just went on snoring. She couldn't stop the giggle that escaped her lips at how adorable she looked; his breath on the other hand was not all that adorable. Well, she thought, this is hopeless I'm not going to fall asleep anytime soon with Mr. Snores A lot over there. Brooke pulled back the covers, and slipped her socked feet into her pink and fuzzy pig slippers; she grabbed her robe and wrapped herself in it, trying to keep herself warm. As quietly as she could she walked across the room to the door, grabbing her case of bath products. The door closed with a snap behind her as she walked down the oak hall towards the bathroom. When she opened the door she was surprised at the sight before her. It had beautiful tiled floors, which you could see yourself in, the walls were painted in a rich gold, black and silver paint, which carried a pattern along the walls, the sink was a beautiful sink, though just like many others it still took her breath away. The tub was a tub, though it sat on its own four feet, if you know what I mean. There was a large mirror taking up much of one of the many walls that made the bathroom. In the corner there was a shower, which she slipped into after brushing her teeth, and riding herself of her pyjamas. Twenty minutes later, she stepped out of the shower, and wrapped herself in her robe; quickly she grabbed her things and walked down the hall towards the room she shared with Lucas. Brooke self-consciously looked back at Lucas who was fast asleep, snoring even more loudly than he was before if that was even possible, well apparently it was, Brooke thought to herself, as she changed glancing back at Lucas every now and then to see if he had woken up, into a pair of tight black jeans, and a pink sweater, that was so warm. Then she pulled on a pair of socks, grabbed her baby-blue jacket, ski pants, scarf, mitts, hat, and boots and then with a final look back at Lucas she walked out of the door and continued down the hall to the kitchen in search of coffee. Well she needed something to keep her up, she thought to herself, looking through the cupboards, she was sure that they had bought coffee yesterday on their little food shopping spree. Ah ha I found it, she muttered under her breath. She set about making coffee, for everyone including herself, with the coffee maker that was in the cabin already. When the coffee was finished, she poured herself a cup, using the mugs from the cupboards. Thankfully they were provided with cups, plates, utensils, pots and whatnot. The aroma of coffee filled her nostrils, and the rest of the cabin as well, otherwise she didn't think anyone would've gotten up.

"Morning!" she said in a cheerful voice.

"Mmmm..." Haley said, sleep still in her eyes.

"Morin' " Peyton said with a yawn, her hair messy.

"Yeah, mornin' "Jake said, his arm around Peyton's waist.

"Coffee..." Nathan stated, stretching.

Before Lucas could say anything, a yawn overtook him.

"Right, well come on people, go shower, change, then come back here to get your coffee and breakfast that yours truly will be making, yes Nathan I can cook," Brooke said she said the look of disbelief on Nathan's face.

Everyone trudged out of the kitchen slowly, taking turns using the bathroom. When everyone had finally come down to the kitchen, breakfast was sitting on the kitchen table, which was already set. The six teens took their seats, Jake and Peyton on one side, Nathan and Haley on the other side, Brooke at the head of the table while Lucas was left sitting on the opposite side of Brooke. Brooke had made, scrambled eggs, which were quite tasty, all nice and fluffy. Bacon, and who doesn't love bacon, well except people who don't eat it of course, buttered toast, and a fruit salad. They all ate until their stomachs were full, which didn't take very long. Once the table was cleared, and the dishes were washed, they set of down to the ski lodge to collect the equipment that they had rented the night before. After finally getting on their snow pants, jackets, scarves, hats, and ski boots, and gloves, they each grabbed their skis and poles which they carried outside to put on. There was an instructor there to meet them, because none of them had skied before.

"Hi there, I'm Adam Jerome, and this is my helper Sylena Quan. Alright, let's not waste anytime, c'mon get on your skis, like this," he took off his own skis and showed them how to put on their own. "Now follow me..." He took them out to a fairly empty part of the hill, which was crowded with skiers. "I'd like you all to climb up the hill, just turn on your sides, well just face the trees," which divided the different hills, "Now move up, just lift your skis as if you were walking normally, except now your walking sideways. See it's not that hard." Adam told them when they'd gotten high enough. "Now I'd like you all to form face forward, just spread out a little, and make your skis into the form of a triangle. Good, now straighten them, and go down the hill, and slowly form a triangle okay? I'll go down to the bottom, while Sylena stays here." Adam said as he made his way down to the bottom quickly showing them what they were about to do.

Brooke and Peyton were still in shock, they both knew Adam, not only that but each of them had gone out with him at some point in time. Peyton was worried that somehow Jake would find out, and get jealous, not only that but she had never really ended things with Adam. Stupid, I'm so stupid, she thought to herself. Brooke on the other hand, couldn't wait to get her hands all over Adam, god, she thought, he's gotten even more sexy." Thank god I came on this trip, otherwise I would've missed out on him...she said loud enough for only Peyton and Haley to hear." Both Haley and Peyton gave Brooke a look that said, are you serious, she just smiled and went down the hill, mastering the technique Adam had just taught them. When is was Nathan's turn he fell flat on his face, looking up, face full of snow, everyone just laughed, while he glared, a small smile appearing on his face. He had to admit, it was funny. Haley did it well, but almost lost her balance, thankfully Adam was there to catch her, but he held onto her for a moment to long, and that's all it took to get Nathan jealous. Haley pulled herself up quickly, and walked over to Nathan, giving him a big kiss, which calmed him down a bit. The eight of them stayed out their for about four hours more, until finally, the instructors left, but not before telling them about a huge party happening at the only club in their town, Club A6 they should definitely come.

"Of course, we'll be there," Brooke said, giving Adam a flirty look, which Lucas saw and it almost caused him to pop a vessel or two. "C'mon guys head back to the cabin, we need to get ready!" Brooke told them, suddenly in a great mood.

The six of them carried their skis back to the cabin; they were to hold onto them until the end of the week, because that's how long they had rented them for. Brooke rushed into the bathroom, and half an hour later rushed out. Lucas left the room, when she came in to change. She decided to wear a blue V-neck sweater, and a black jeans skirt, that was faded on her thighs, and a pair of leather boots, that's stopped below her knee. After getting dressed, she sat down in front of the mirror to do her make-up, after she had applied a light layer of make-up, she slipped her lip-gloss in her black leather purse, along with her cell phone, and some extra make-up in case she needed a touch-up. After much thought, Brooke decided to leave her hair down, then grabbed her purse, jacket, scarf and gloves, and then walked out of the room.

Lucas was sitting on the couch talking to Nathan and Haley, who had not to long ago joined him, Haley was wearing a pair tight dark blue jeans, and a light orange top, with strips of brown, her hair down as well and a pair of Shelltoez (Adidas), Nathan was sporting his usual hair style, a long - sleeved black t- shirt, and then a white t-shirt over it, light blue jeans, that got darker on his thighs, and a pair of black air forces. Lucas was wearing his 'Timbs, a NY baseball hat, a pair of black jeans, and a white sweater that carried the NIKE name. When they saw Brooke walk down the stairs, their jaws dropped, well at least Lucas's did. Why was she dressed like that? Lucas questioned himself; he hoped that she wasn't looking to hook up with that Adam guy.

"Hey guys, what are we talking about?" Brooke asked, as though she didn't see the shocked expressions on their faces.

"Oh, we were just talking about the new movie Coach Carter, we were going to see it when it came out..."Haley said finding her voice, just as Peyton came down the stairs, Jake not too far behind her. Peyton was dressed in a white turtle neck, with black pants, and black shoes. Jake wore a blue dress shirt, with blue jeans, and black shoes as well.

"Alright people, lets go..."Peyton said."I called the cab, and it should be here any minute," as if right on cue the driver of a cab honked it's horn.

They filed out of the door, and into the cab, and surprisingly they all fit in with ease. Once they got to Club A6, they got out of the car, paid the driver and joined the line where people were waiting to get into the club, some patiently, others impatiently. After what seemed to be an hour, they finally got into the club, Brooke made her way over to the bar, to get them all drinks as the others found a table. When she came back with drinks, she had barely sat down before she got back up again, as if something sharp had poked her. She quickly excused herself, when she spotted Adam, the sweater he was wearing was a bit tight, and it showed of his toned chest.

Brooke made her way over to Adam, "Hey you!" Brooke said trying to contain her excitement.

"Hi, Brooke right?" Adam replied.

"That's me, so um...You want to dance?" Brooke asked, gesturing with her head to the dance floor, where the song Only U, by Ashanti was currently blaring through the speakers.

"Yeah sure, let's go." Adam said, following Brooke towards the dance floor. It was so obvious to him that she was into him, but to be honest he was really into her, he was still hung up on Peyton, even though she was with that other guy, Jack or whatever his name was, that was okay with him, he could work around that, no problem.

"Jake let's dance..."Peyton said, grabbing his hand leading him towards the dance floor.

As soon as they got on the dance floor, Peyton went all out, grinding against Jake, who could feel his member getting a little hard, if Peyton didn't stop soon he was going to go crazy. Thankfully, she stopped, and they moved to the beat. As the song changed to Xzibit's song, Hey Now(Mean Mugging') Peyton spotted Brooke giving all she had to Adam, Brooke was all over him, Adam didn't seem to concerned however, he had only wrapped his arms around Brooke's waist, and was just moving to the beat of the song. After a solid hour of dancing, Peyton and Jake were tired, and needed something to drink, so they made their way over to their table where they found Haley in Nathan's lap, they were making out, a moan or two escaping their lips here an there. Lucas just stared at them in disgust, he didn't need to see this, or hear this. He shook his head and walked of towards to bar to get another drink. Brooke had just made her way over to the table with Adam trailing behind her. Peyton moved herself closer to Jake, while Brooke and Adam sat down. Peyton needed a drink, so she excused herself and got a drink at the bar.

Back at the table Adam had just made a lame excuse to go to the bathroom, then got up and went in the opposite direction of the bathroom. Instead Adam headed over to where he saw Peyton. When he approached her, she was sipping her drink, looking around the club.

"Hey," Adam said his mind suddenly blank.

"Bye," Peyton retorted, trying to give him a hint.

Both Jake and Brooke were wondering what was Peyton and Adam so long. Jake saw Adam and Peyton over at the bar first, and then Brooke saw them. Jake wasn't worried about the situation because he trusted Peyton, Brooke on the other hand didn't. Even though Peyton was her best friend, she still hadn't forgotten what had happened last time.

Adam moved himself closer to Peyton, trying to make small talk with her. Peyton made to move away, but Adam grabbed her arm. "Let go of me!" Peyton hissed at him, her words filled with venom.

"Peyton, I still love you, don't you love me?" Adam told her loosening his grip.

"What the hell are you talking about? I never loved you! I went out with you for a week, before your dad had to relocate to another state, and I realised that I didn't even want to be with you anymore. So I didn't call, nothing, I thought that you'd get the point that we were over. Don't you think if I was in the least bit interested in you, I would've gotten in contact with you? But I wasn't, and I'm with Jake now, so leave me be! Be with Brooke, don't you still love her?" she stated bluntly.

Her words had cut through him, they had cut deep. "Peyton, don't say that, just kiss me, and we'll see if you don't in fact have feelings for me..." Before she had anytime to protest, he pulled her into a deep kiss.

Peyton pushed him away as quickly as possible, but it was too late, the damage was done. Brooke and Jake had both seen what had happened, she felt her heart sink, Jake had seen, she'd never wanted to hurt him. Brooke had seen as well, her best friend, she knew Brooke wouldn't want to talk to her after this, even though it wasn't her who had kissed Adam first, just the fact that she had responded to the kiss made her guilty. She felt horrible. Peyton, walked past Adam who let her go this time, feeling as though his heart had just broken into a billion pieces.

Jake just walked out of the club, he needed some air, Brooke was fuming on the other hand, she couldn't believe what had just happened, and she had seen it all. When she had finally thought that they had worked past their past problems, Peyton went and pulled something like this.

Peyton saw Jake walk out, and made her way outside as well, "Jake..." she said in a small voice.

"Just go Peyton, go..." he told her, back towards her, walking along the sidewalk. He couldn't believe it; he just needed some time to think.

As Lucas made his way over to the table towards a fuming Brooke, and still making out couple, he asked the most logical thing, though most stupid thing to ask right now, "What's wrong?"

That was all Brooke needed to set her off. "WHAT'S WRONG? WHAT'S WRONG IS THAT THE GUY THAT I REALLY LIKED, AND THE PERSON WHO USED TO BE MY BEST FRIEND TOTALLY BETRAYED ME! THEY KISSED! PEYTON KNEW THAT I LIKED ADAM, BUT NO SHE WENT AHEAD WHEN SHE ALREADY HAD A BOYFRIEND AND SHE KISSED THE GUY I LIKED! WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH HER?" When she had finished raging at Lucas at the top of her lungs, many people had turned to see what was going on. Lucas felt as though, this was it, him an Brooke would never be, she obviously wasn't interested in him, she was interested in Adam, he could tell that even though she was so mad at him now, she would be even more mad at Peyton, but, he thought she would forgive Adam and fall head over heels for him again . Well it couldn't have been more obvious because she had said it.

Peyton sat down on the stairs crying, she just lost the person that she loved so much, because of Adam, that stupid ass! If Adam came anywhere near Peyton, she swore that she would kill him.

Brooke just marched over to the bar, to drown her sorrows in alcohol.

Lucas just sat there, feeling as though his life was over, he knew that deep down Brooke still liked Adam, he felt as though he had lost her, even though she was there.

Haley and Nathan watched him; it was obvious to them that he was hurting. They wanted to do something to help him, to comfort him, but they didn't know what to do. They decided to not meddle, because sometimes people need something that really shakes them up to happen, so they can realise what they really want, or what they really need, in this case it was a person that they all desired. In the end they'd all find their way back to each other, it would be quite a journey though.

Spoilers:
