The rest of the day was busy. Rex and Lucas, who had surprisingly hit it off quite well, loaded some of Brooke's stuff into Lucas' car, while Brooke and Peyton took New over to Rex's apartment. Rex would be looking after the dog while Brooke was away.
Letting herself into his apartment with her key, Brooke flopped down on his couch and sighed. "His place is ten times better than mine," she said, stating the obvious.
Peyton looked around. "Yeah it must cost a fortune."
"Surprisingly it's not that much. Just too much for my salary." Brooke laughed.
"Brooke, can I ask you something?" Said Peyton, seriousness in her voice.
"Sure."
"What did you mean by 'if stuff happens'?" She said, referring to their earlier conversation.
"Huh?"
"Before. You said that if stuff happens, you'd have to come back here."
Brooke ran her fingers through her hair. "Uh… it's not important."
"Well it kinda is if it's the reason you ran away."
"Look, can we just drop it for now?" Frustrated, Brooke got up off the couch and petted her dog. "You be a good dog! No peeing on the carpet…" She glanced quickly at the floor. "Actually, pee away in this room because this carpet is too gross." She stood up straight and turned to Peyton. "Come on, Friend. Tree Hill awaits."
Okay, so I still don't know what else could have happened to Brooke to make her want to run away! So if anyone has any idea's I'd seriously appreciate it if you told me in a review or e-mailed me;
