(Brooke runs into Peyton and Jake)
Brooke: So what are you two like a thing again? (Brooke said awkwardly)
Peyton: No. Look Brooke. (Brooke interrupts)
Brooke: It's all in the past and anyways its not like Lucas and I were together then. But it would have been nice if my best friend would of told me. But like I said its all in the past. I'm over it really.
Peyton: Im sorry. (Brooke nods)
Brooke: You're my best friend Pey, would I be talking to you now if I were angry still? I mean yeah it's been a year and a half. What's done is done.
(Peyton looks Brooke in the eyes knowing she's still hurt but hides it; she nods)
Brooke: So you don't find it weird hanging out with someone you use to be in love with?
Jake: Nope.
Brooke: Hmmm...Now how does that work?
Peyton: You have to see Lucas don't you?
Brooke: Strike that we have to see Lucas when we go over to tutor girls and Nates tonight.
Peyton: Oh really?
Brooke: I talked to Haley and she invited me over tonight. And for some ungodly reason I couldn't think of a reason to say no and I said yes.
(Peyton laughs)
Brooke: It's not funny. Stop laughing.
Peyton: I'm sorry. You're right it's not funny. You're really freaking out aren't you?
Brooke: No it's just weird that for once I couldn't think of a single thing to get out of something.
Peyton: Wow Brooke can't tell a lie. Are baby's growing up Jake.
(Jake and Peyton laugh)(Brooke glares at them both)
Peyton: Oh come on it was a joke.
Brooke: Please say you guys will go? I know we haven't really talked in the last year Peyton but I would really appreciate it.
(Peyton looks at Jake)
Peyton: We'll go but I better be getting something out of this.
Brooke: Thank you thank you! (Brooke hugs them both) Lets go get something to eat cause this girl is starving.
Jake: Wait what about Chace and Jenny?
(Brooke and Peyton stare at each other)
Peyton: I'll call the babysitter.
Jake: I could stay home with them if you want. I still have some things I need to get.
(Peyton walks over to Jake)
Peyton: Do we have to do this now?
(Jake looks into Peyton's eyes)
Jake: No I guess not.
Peyton: Okay. Didn't you hear the girl - she's starving.
Jake: (Nods) Lets eat.
(They all smile at each other and walk arm in arm)(Fade out)

Lucas: Why are you leaving?
Brooke: I just... ah (Can't think)
Lucas: Is it me?
Brooke: Save your ego trip. Not everything is about you.
Lucas: It was just a question.
Brooke: It's in the past. I'm over it.
Lucas: Uhuh. Then you don't mind if I ask you to dinner? (Brooke glares at him) You know so we can catch up ... talk.
Brooke: You think this is funny?
Lucas: No.
Brooke: Why are doing this?
Lucas: Because we never got a chance to talk after everything that happened. You just left town.
Brooke: (Tears in her eyes) Yeah. (Lucas wipes her eyes)
Lucas: I just want you to know I really am truly sorry. I didn't ...(Brooke interrupts)
Brooke: I can't do this. (Brooke turns around)
(Lucas grabs her arm and turns her around)
Lucas: (Stares at her) You clearly aren't.
Brooke: I try to tell myself I am but the truth is that night ruined my life and for what? Chace is Jakes son now.
Lucas: (Looks down) Yeah I guess so.
