Brooke lies in her bed just thinking of everything arounds her. Her mind tries not to think about them. But its hard. She slowly closes her eyes and tries to go back to sleep, but then the image comes back into her thoughts. She quickly gets out of bed and shakes her head. She looks into the mirror and fix her hair. It has gotten messy from all the tossing and turning.

She then picks up the phone and read the message over and over. She flips it closed and throw it on the bed. "Im sorry" meant nothing to her now. She knew she wasn't over him so why did she keep on fooling herself?

Her thoughts got interrupted by her cell phone ringing. She looked at the caller ID and her heart dropped as she read the name "Peyton". Everyday for the past two days she had kept on calling her telling her shes sorry for everything. But she didnt believe any of it. She flipped the phone open..

"Hello" she said with a low raspy voice.

"hey Brooke, how are things?" Brooke rolled her eyes as she listened to her voice pretending to be caring. She sighed a little.

"Im fine Peyton.. thats what I have been telling you everyday!" Brooke twirled her fingers around the sheet on her bed as she listened to Peyton talk. She really didnt listen, her thoughts were in another place.

"I just want you to know that Im sorry.. I really didnt want you to find out like that." Brooke laughed inside herself. She looked up at the ceiling as she thought of the day Peyton was talking about.


flashback

Brooke walked around her own room not knowing what to do. She was so bored. She quickly picked up her jacket and cell phone and got in her car.

She drove to Peytons house, hoping she would be home. She walked up to the door, which was open, and she walked inside. She softly whispered Peytons name while she sneeked her way into her house.

She had a smile on her face as she heard Peytons music in her room. She slowly walked over to it and saw something hanging on the door that looked like a sock. She smiled once again thinking Peyton maybe had Jake in her room. She slowly twisted the door knob and opened the door revealing Peyton on the bed with Lucas over her.

"Oh my god," Brooke said under her breath. She just stood there and watched. It was like a train wreck, you didnt want to watch, but you couldnt take your eyes away. Lucas and Peyton quickly parted and looked at Brooke in shock, Peyton with her mouth open.

"Brooke.." Peyton started saying but Brooke just walked out of the door. Peyton quickly got out of bed and ran after her. She grabbed her arm and Brooke turned around looking at Peyton.

"Dont!" she screamed at her as she put both arms in the air gesturing for her not to touch her. She then looked Peyton straight into her eyes with almost a death glare. She shook her head and walked away. She could hear Peyton screaming her name but she didnt care.

End of flashback


"Brooke I really didnt want you to find out that way." Peyton kept on talking about how sorry she was. Brooke just shook everything off and pretended that she listened. She was sick of hearing it. Peyton was treating her like she was weak, and she knew she wasnt.

"Peyton, I'm fine, so you can stop calling everyday and wasting both our times." She was lying.. what else could she do? Tell peyton she wasnt cool with it and then make her break up with Lucas? She wasnt like that.

"Ok… promise you will be ok?" Peyton asked hesitantly. Once again Brooke sighed and shook her head.

"For the millionth time YES." a little smile appeared in her face. It was kinda sweet of Peyton to be so caring, but her smile quickly disappeared as she pictured Peyton and Lucas together again. She slowly put her hand over her eyes. She closed them and tried to shake the image out of her head but she knew it was impossible.

"Ok.. see you tomorrow?"

"Yeah..." she said and flipped her phone closed again. She looked at the clock and said "Shit." under her breath. She was gonna be late for school.

School – that will be funny; she laughed to herself. Through the last time she had learnt to build some self-confidence and she wasnt planning on letting this come to her. She wasnt gonna fall.

After she got on her clothes and her makeup she quickly stepped into her car and turned on the engine and radio. For a moment she leant back and closed her eyes listening to the song playing. She didnt really like it but this moment was a getaway from reality. Then when the song ended she opened her eyes and started driving.

When she was there at Tree Hill High she parked in her regular space and stepped out of the car. She felt the wind through her hair thinking it was a new day. She looked around and saw Lucas walking towards her. Her face went blank and she just turned around and started walking away.

"Brooke!" She heard Lucas behind her.

She didnt look back, it was like looking back at the past. She walked inside and quickly walked into the classroom. She had never been this happy to come to the class. She sat down and took up her books preparing for a new boring class as someone familiar sat down next to her. She looked up and smiled confused.

"Haley," She said with a surprised voice. "Why are you sitting here?"

"You looked lonely, beside I am too" She smiled and Brooke laughed a little. Haley took up her books and Brooke looked at her. Maybe Haley could be the friend Peyton never was?
