Chapter Five

"Yesterday's Feelings"

"Close my eyes and move to the back of my mind, where worries are washed out to sea, see the changes, people's faces blurred out. Like the sun spots or raindrops. Now all those feelings, those yesterdays' feelings will all be lost in time. But today I've wasted away for today is on my mind." The radio in the gym played the song loudly by "The Used."

"This song fits me perfectly," Brooke told Peyton while they sat on the bleachers watching the guys practice.

"Brooke you'd be surprised how many different songs that I listen to fit you. I know you think my music is crap, but once in a while it actually feels like it means something," Peyton smiled. She saw Aubrey sitting alone in front of them. "Are you sure we shouldn't give Aubrey a chance?"

"You did not just ask me that." Brooke snapped. "Are you kidding?"

Peyton shook her head. "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have said that." She sighed. "Just imagine if you were new here and nobody would talk to you, and the most popular girl in school hated you."

Brooke thought for a second. "That would be horrible. However, nobody would hate me, because I wouldn't jump in and steal someone's boyfriend."

"Oh really?" Peyton asked her.

"What's that supposed to mean Peyton Elizabeth Sawyer?" she asked angrily. "You're the boyfriend stealer!"

"Hey! I was just thinking about that girl at cheerleading camp. When you made out with her boyfriend, you wondered why she hated you so much and not the guy."

Brooke thought about this and nodded. "You're right." She sighed. "God I hate when you're right." She stood up from the bleacher and walked down to Aubrey. "Hey." She said quietly not wanting to draw any attention to her.

"Hey," Aubrey smiled. "Come to bash me?"

Brooke shook her head. "I came to see if you want to go to the mall with Peyton & me after practice."

Aubrey looked at her with caution. She glanced at Peyton who shrugged. "Sure." She accepted.

"Great!" Brooke smiled. "Meet you out front!" she jumped off the bench and ran threw the middle of practice, getting an evil look from Whitey.

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Brooke threw her last purchase into the car and smiled with satisfaction. "I love that my parents gave me my credit card back!"

Aubrey laughed. She dropped almost as much cash as Brooke. She had to admit, Brooke had some pretty good taste when it came to shopping.

Peyton smiled at the two girls getting along. They had more in common then Brooke even knew. They were practically the same person. Peyton climbed in the passenger seat and looked out the window.

"What's going on with you and Nathan Scott?" Aubrey asked Brooke with a smile.

Brooke looked shocked. "Excuse me?"

Peyton caught a glimpse of the Brooke Davis defensive face. "Brooke?" she smiled. "What is she talking about?"

Aubrey laughed a little. "I saw you too giving each other look all afternoon at practice. If I didn't know better I'd say you had a little crush on Lucas's brother."

Brooke shook her head laughing. "Not at all."

"If that's your story." Aubrey laughed. She didn't believe it at all.

Peyton caught a nervous look from Brooke and smiled. Aubrey was right. "You have something for my ex boyfriend don't you!" Peyton accused. "You little slut!"

"Hey! I am not a slut, and second of all, remember when you had something for MY boyfriend?" Brooke accused back.

"So you are admitting it?" Peyton smiled.

"No!" Brooke smiled. "Okay well maybe something. He is hot."

"Slut."

"Whore," Brooke replied.

Aubrey sat listening to the two friends laugh back and forth. Peyton had something for Brooke's boyfriend? She wondered who it was. "Seems like everybody dates everybody around here huh?" Aubrey asked.

"Oh yeah." Peyton nodded.

"Did Lucas tell you about his friend Haley?" Brooke asked.

Aubrey shook her head no.

"You should hear that one."

Peyton smiled. "Haley married Nathan. Then she left him to go on tour with Chris Keller and The Wreckers. Then they got divorced. Now he's sleeping with Brooke apparently."

"He is not!" Brooke yelled.

"Wow. I love the Wreckers. Did Haley date Lucas?" Aubrey asked.

Peyton shook her head. "Haley was dating Nathan while Brooke and I were dating Lucas."

Brooke let out a small cry. "I hope you know what you just said."

"You were both dating Lucas?" Aubrey asked.

"Shit." Peyton cried. "Um, that's not what I meant."

"Your caught Sawyer, give it up." Brooke laughed.

Aubrey looked at them confused. She had a feeling this Brooke girl was going to get her into a lot of trouble.
