Author's Note: Hey, I'm back. I'm glad that you all like my story and think you for not flaming it. I'm actually surprised to find the you all like it because there isn't any other ones on here like this, so I was afraid you wouldn't like it. Anyways, I'm really glad you do, and I'll hurry up and get on with the story.

...WWHT...

Brooke's stomach clenched when she stopped her car. She had to take a few deep breathes before getting out. She was on the verge of throwing up. The very thought of telling her best friend that she was not only gay, but also in love with Haley was making her light headed.

On one hand, she really wanted to tell the blonde that they were together because she too hated to lie to her and she felt bad hiding something so wonderful from her. On the other hand, she was terrified that Peyton wouldn't be able to accept this and she wouldn't just lose her best friend, but she was afraid it would ruin her relationship with Haley.

She flexed and unflexed her hands, trying to release some of the stress she felt. She grabbed her purse and made her way over to her girlfriend who waiting on the curb for her. She was about to take her hand, but realizing what it might look like she decided to link her arm with Haley's instead.

Haley seemed to be calm and cool on the outside, but the same things were going through her mind as the things going through Brooke's. She desperately wanted to believe that Peyton would be okay with them, but she knew that there was a very big chance she would reject them and Haley wasn't sure she would be able to deal with that. She promised herself that no matter what anyone said about them, she wasn't going to let it affect the way she felt about Brooke, but she also knew that it probably would. They reached the ticket booth and Haley pulled out her wallet.

"No, no," Brooke said. "Since I didn't get to give you that amazing night I had planned, I'm paying for this." Haley was about to argue, but stopped when she saw the look on Brooke's face. She sighed and put her wallet back in her purse. Brooke turned to the ticket lady.

"What can I get you girls?"

"Uh, we'll have two tickets for the eight o'clock showing of Mean Girls," Brooke ordered. The lady nodded her head and began to get he tickets. Brooke saw the total on the register and handed her the money. The lady handed them the tickets.

"Enjoy the movie." They nodded and made their way towards the concession stand. They stopped before they reached the line.

"Did you want anything, baby?" Brooke asked. She certainly didn't want anything, her stomach was already in knots and she didn't think she'd be able to hold it down.

"I think it would be a waste of money," Haley answered in a worried tone. Brooke laid a hand on Haley's stomach and rubbed it. Haley smiled sadly at her, thanking her for her efforts. "Good try, Tigger."

"I try," Brooke replied. She looked around, but didn't see Peyton away. "I don't think Peyton's here yet, do you wanna go get some seats?"

"Sure," Haley said quietly. She didn't know if she was happy that the blonde wasn't or not. They still hadn't decided whether they were going to tell her before the movie or after. They began walking towards the theater their movie was in.

"Tickets, please," the usher asked. Brooke handed him their tickets and her ripped them. "The movie should start in about ten minutes." They walked through the door and entered the darkened theater. Before they could begin to look for seats, they heard someone calling them.

"Brooke, Hales!" Peyton called them from her seat. "Over here." The girls unhooked their arms and made their way over to where their friend was. They slipped through a few teenyboppers that were also sitting in the row and finally reached the blonde. Brooke took the seat beside Peyton and Haley sat beside her.

"When did you get here?"

"About five minutes ago," Peyton answered, taking a sip of her drink before putting it back in the cup holder. "Figured I'd get us seat before all the little brats took the good ones."

"Good idea."

"Did you guys come together?" she asked. This was all a little weird for her. For as long as she could remember, Brooke and Haley had never said more than two nice words to each other at a time, especially the past few weeks. Now all of a sudden they were attached at the hip? There was definitely something going on with them and she was going to do anything to find out what it was.

"Oh, yeah," Brooke answered. "We just ended up having dinner at the Café and talked to Karen. We got changed at my house quickly then came here." Peyton seemed to accept that answer and nodded.

"Okay," Peyton replied. She noticed that neither of them had any food. She found this to be quite strange considering both of them usually get as much food as humanly possible whenever they went to the movies. "You didn't get anything to eat?"

"We're still full from dinner," Brooke answered for the both of them. Peyton had noticed that Haley hadn't said anything since they entered the theater.

"Hales?" Peyton asked. Haley whipped her head up to look at the blonde, just zoning into the conversation. She had been so focused on trying to decide what Peyton's reaction was gonna be.

"Huh?"

"What's up with you today?" she asked. "You were quiet at the Café earlier too. Is there something wrong?" Brooke was starting to get a bad feeling and quickly intervened.

"She's just really tired from..." Peyton held up her hand to silence Brooke. She wanted to hear what Haley had to say.

"I asked Haley," Peyton told her. Brooke immediately shut up and looked at Haley, trying to convey her sympathy. She knew that Haley hated being under pressure and she also sucked at lying. "What's up?" Haley looked between Brooke and Peyton, trying to decide what to do. Now was the perfect time to tell her they were to together, but she knew by the look on Brooke's face that she wasn't ready.

"Nothing," she finally answered, which earned her a sigh of relief from Brooke. She kept eye contact with Peyton for another second before adverting her eyes. She couldn't bring herself to look at Brooke so she just stared straight ahead at the screen. Brooke could tell the Haley was upset and felt terrible. She cursed herself for being such a coward. She couldn't do it. She knew that she had promised Haley they would tell Peyton tonight, but she just couldn't do it.

"So, you think the movie will be any good?" she asked blonde. Peyton tore her gaze away from the upset girl and looked at Brooke.

"Yeah, I guess," she answered, confused at Haley's behavior. She shook her head and gave Brooke her full attention. "I mean, Tina Fey wrote it, so it's gotta be funny."

"True," Brooke sighed. She was about to say more, but the lights dimmed and the previews started. The girls leaned back in their chairs and watched the previews begin. Brooke looked back and fourth between the girls on either side of her, getting more uncomfortable by the minute. A preview for The Day After Tomorrow came on and Peyton grabbed her hand.

"Oh, Jake Gyllenhaal," she cheered. "I love him. Don't you think he's just the hottest thing in the whole?" Brooke was just so happy to have something else to talk about she nodded her head.

"I know," she gushed, even though she didn't really think anything of him. She thought he was cute, but that was about it. He was no Haley James, that was for sure. "He was so good in The Good Girl." Peyton nodded her head.

"Oh, yeah," Peyton agreed. "Why does Jennifer Aniston get all the hottest guys?"

"Except for David Schwimmer," Brooke pointed out with a laugh. Haley rolled her eyes as she listened to their conversation. Not telling Peyton about them was one thing, but going on and on about 'hot' boys was completely different. She knew that Brooke was just playing along, she didn't feel that way, but it didn't make it hurt any less.

"I don't know," Peyton disagreed. "He's been looking kinda hot this season. I mean he's no Matt Leblanc but..."

"Oh, don't even get me started on him..." Haley had had enough. She quickly stood up and walked past the little teenyboppers and out of the theater. Brooke closed her eyes when she heard her girlfriend storm out.

"What was that about?" Peyton asked. Brooke quickly searched her mind for something to say.

"She hasn't been feeling that hot all day," she lied. "She must just need some air." Peyton nodded and went back to watching the movie. Brooke waited a minute to make sure Peyton was engrossed in the movie before she stood up. "I'm gonna go check on her." Peyton nodded her head, distracted by what was happening on the screen.

"Yeah, okay." Brooke quickly made her way out of the theater and into the lobby, hoping Haley was still out there. She looked around and she was nowhere to be seen.

"Shit," she muttered to herself. She had really blown it this time. She frowned and went back into the darkened room. There was only one way to make this up to Haley and she was prepared to do it. Even if it cost her the best friend she had ever had.

...WWHT...
