Best Friends for Always?
Disclaimer- Don't own One Tree Hill.
AN- Thanks to-- Ali213, HipHopper92, Rachel, Maddie Madison, and Kylie2060 for the amazing reviews!
AN2-Most of the reviewers asked if all of the best friends would end up couples, and I'm still thinking about it. I know that this is definitely going to be a Brooke/Lucas story, because they are my favorite couple EVER, but I'm not totally sure about the other couples yet, but I would love your feedback.
AN3- WARNING- there's a little "sensual" scene in this chapter… sorry if it's not beautifully written, I'm doing the best that I can.
Flashbacks are in italics.

Brooke lifted her head and took in her surroundings. She tried to get up, but suddenly felt an arm around her waist jerk her back towards the couch. Last night's event suddenly came back to her. She and Lucas had stayed up late watching old movies and had fallen asleep on the couch in his den. 'Yep, it was a regular Friday night,' Brooke thought to herself.
"Five more minutes, Mom." Lucas murmured in his sleep.
Brooke laughed as she looked down at her best friend. "Broody! I'm not your mother." She replied in mock offense. Lucas jumped once he realized who he was talking to, which made Brooke laugh more.
"Geez, Brooke, scare the crap out of me." He replied as he leaned back into the couch.
"I'm sorry…" She said innocently as she leaned towards him. His arms naturally came around her back. They remained like this for a couple of minutes, just enjoying each other quiet company.
Lucas then started to squirm and Brooke moved off of him. "I'm going to go grab a shower real quick, then we can head out to the café." Brooke nodded and lay back on the couch.

On the other side of town, in a beach house by the ocean, Nathan Scott was slowly awakened by small kissed being placed on his neck. He moaned in pleasure, and then opened his eyes. He looked down at his chest and saw a gorgeous blonde kissing him. 'Oh shit.' He thought to himself. 'I said I wouldn't do this again.' He had promised Haley that if she stopped sleeping with random guys, he would stop hooking up with random girls. He felt bad. He was usually never terribly true to his word until it came to his best friends, Haley and Tim.
The girl looked up at him with beautiful brown eyes and said, "Morning superstar." He felt awful, not only did he not remember her name, but because she was probably planning their wedding in her head, while all he was planning was a way to get out of the house and get this girl to keep her mouth shut.
"Uh… hey." He said in a husky, sleep-filled voice. He tried to get up, but she pushed him back down and started to kiss him on the mouth.
"Nathan…" She moaned as he got out from under her grasp. She lay back down on the bed and watched him put on his boxers and look for the rest of his clothes. He looked up at the girl and smiled one of his patented, charming, smiles that made girls go weak in the knees. Of course, this girl was no different. Sure, she was kind of pissed that he wouldn't stay around, but she didn't care. For one night, Nathan Scott's attention had been devoted solely on her, and that made her feel pretty damn special.
"Sorry…" He paused, trying to think of her name, "Baby," 'Hell… most women would love if I called them that, why that hell shouldn't it work on this chick?' he asked himself. It worked. The girl smiled and looked at him lovingly.
"Nate, are you sure you can't stay a little longer?" She asked in a pouty voice.
"Nope, I gotta go. Last night was great." He made his way back towards the bed and left a lingering kiss on her lips then left the room quickly.

Haley James smiled to herself as she woke up in her own house, in her own room, all alone. She was pretty proud of herself. She had finally made it out of one of the basketball team's raging parties, without an escort. She lay in bed for a few more minutes, before she got up and grabbed the phone. She called her best friend Nathan Scott, but all she got was the answering machine. 'Where the hell is he? It's ten in the morning, he doesn't usually sleep very late.' She thought to herself. She then decided to call his cell. After the fourth ring, she finally got an answer.
"Hello?" Nathan answered in a pissy, morning voice.
"What, did I wake you superstar?" Haley asked in a sarcastic voice.
"Uh… no. I'm just out doing stuff. My dad got me up early this morning to run and I'm still pretty wiped out." Nathan replied, lying through his teeth.
"What, Danny wasn't proud that his superstar son broke his record?" She asked.
Nathan chuckled to himself. 'Leave it to Haley,' He thought. "Yeah, that's it. So, Hales, you wanna grab breakfast or something?" Nathan asked, thinking that if he took her out for breakfast, he wouldn't feel so guilty for breaking his promise.
"Yeah, sure. Pick me up in like 20 minutes."
"'kay." Nathan said as he hung up.

Peyton felt her bed shake and woke up. She saw her best friend, Jake Jagielski, get out from under the covers and look around the room for his clothes. 'What the hell happened last night?' Peyton asked herself. All she remembered was going to the basketball team's party. 'Oh shit.' She said to herself as last night's events came back to haunt her.
Peyton was pretty drunk. She was talking to some cheerleaders and jumped up as she saw Jake come towards her.
"Alright, Peyt. It's time to go home." Jake said as Peyton jumped up and clung onto him.
"But Jaakkkeee, I don' want to…" She replied in a drunken and childish voice.
"Too bad." He said as she picked her up and put her carefully over his shoulder.
"JAAKKKEEE!" Peyton yelled as she resisted his actions.

"Jake?" She said his name slowly, in a low tired voice.
"What?" He asked, irritated with the situation.
"Please don't do this." She said as she saw him hurrying around the room.
"What Peyt? Don't do what?" He asked in a cold voice. He instantly felt bad when he saw pain flash through Peyton's green eyes.
"Jake, we need to talk about what happened."

Jake had finally gotten Peyton out of the car and into the house. She was definitely pretty smashed.
They were on their way up the stairs to get to Peyton's bedroom, when Peyton started to talk in slurred speech. "Jake…"
"Hummm?" Jake replied, a little annoyed that he always had to take care of Peyton when she got like this.
"I… I looovvveee you…" She said.
Jake laughed, thinking that she was in a drunken "lovey" mood. He was then proven wrong when he felt Peyton's lips collide with his. At first, he knew that they should stop. He had always loved and wanted Peyton, but not like this, not when she was totally smashed. For some reason, though, he couldn't bring himself to stop what was going on. Her tongue licked his lower lip, begging for entrance, which he gladly granted. They had reached her room and she pulled back for a moment, looked into his bright brown eyes and just smiled. She then pulled his shirt off and ran her hands over his sculpted abs, and then pushed him back on her bed. They spent the rest of the night making love.

"Peyton, I get it, it was a mistake, and more mine than yours. I was sober and you were drunk. I should have stopped it…"
"JAKE!" Peyton interrupted him as she got out of her bed, turning her bed sheet into toga. "Please, please don't do this," She begged him. "It wasn't a mistake. You know that and I know that. It just sucks that you had to think I was drunk for it to happen." Peyton was crying by this point.
"Peyton, we can't do this. I'm sorry." He replied in a low voice. He walked towards her and wrapped an arm around her shaking body, and then dropped a kiss on her forehead, before he walked out of her room.
Peyton fell to the ground and started to bawl completely, not caring that she was naked on her bedroom floor.
