Unchained Melody

Chapter 3

Peyton and Nathan walked into the restaurant hand in hand. Peyton couldn't help but grin when she saw her family, and his family, and the wedding party in that room. These people supported her and Nathan. They had been there with them through Haley leaving, Jake leaving, Peyton getting shot, all the other bad things they had gone through, and finally Nathan and Peyton getting back together.

"P. Sawyer!" Brooke shrieked running over to the bride-to-be. "You wore the outfit!"

Peyton nodded and let out a laugh, "That surprise you?"

"I totally forgot the shoes, I feel like such a bad best friend."

"Don't. I like the chucks, they make me feel like me." Peyton said as Larry, her father, walked over to them. "Hey daddy!"

"Hey baby girl." Larry said hugging his daughter, "I'm so proud of you."

Peyton smiled, her dad may not have been around a lot, but he loved her, and she loved him. "Thanks daddy."

Brooke smiled at the father/daughter reunion and wondered if her dad would ever be there the day before her wedding to tell her he was proud of her. Brooke shook the thought knowing he'd never be there and sighed, Larry was like her dad anyway, so he'd be there. Larry walked off leaving Brooke and Peyton alone.

"I'm so glad you're getting married tomorrow." Brooke sighed and she plopped down on the sofa.

"And why is that?" Peyton questioned.

"Because, you getting married means no more Lucas." Brooke stated looking up at her best friend.

"He loves you, B," Peyton declared with a sigh.

"It doesn't matter if he loves me, he screwed up again, and he did the one thing that I can't forgive, not again Peyton." Brooke sounded tired. "Even if I do love him…" Brooke whispered.

"Look Brooke, there's something about that night you need to know."

"And that would be?"

Just then the clinking of a fork to a champagne glass was heard. Peyton sighed and told Brooke she'd tell her later.

Brooke sighed and sat down at the table to eat. As soon as the food was served, Nathan drove in like a pig. The more Brooke watched the funnier it seemed, she put her hand over her mouth and held in a giggle. After about a minute Nathan looked up to see Peyton trying to get Brooke to stop laughing, and Lucas was giving them all weird looks.

"What's so funny?" Nathan asked with a mouth full of food.

"You…" Brooke laughed.

"Why?"

"You eat like a PIG!" Brooke hunched over the table with laughter, and Nathan shrugged.

"That doesn't seem like such a big deal…"

"It's not, Brooke is just weird." Lucas stated with a smirk.

"This was an AB conversation Lucas-"

"Finish that and I'll think you're five." Brooke shot him a dirty look.

"Bite me."

"My pleasure Pretty Girl."

"I didn't mean…UGH!" Brooke threw her hands up, "You know what, you are the most annoying guy in the world."

"And you're the most annoying girl in the world."

"Children…children, what are we five. Save your fighting for later, please spare us all!" Peyton said with a groan. Those two really needed to grow up.

"Sorry Sawyer," Brooke apologized looking at the blonde.

"Its ok Brooke."

After everyone had eating Brooke and the brides maids stood up. "P. Sawyer, say bye to Nathan now."

"Do I really have too?"

"Yes, now hurry, the strippers are waiting!"

Peyton laughed and kissed Nathan, "Remember…have fun, call me, and sleep."

Nathan nodded and hugged her, "I love you."

"I love you too."

Brooke walked over to Lucas, "It's been fun."

"What?"

"Working together, but now we can go on with our lives and act like we don't know each other, I like that life better. Goodbye Lucas."

"Bye Brooke, I'll see you tomorrow."

"Don't remind me, "Brooke sighed and turned her back to him, "P. Sawyer! Get your blonde skinny ass over here now."

Peyton sighed and kissed Nathan one last time before heading out of the restaurant. Once the girls were all in party mood, dancing and drinking, Peyton pulled Brooke outside.

"I was going to tell you something." Peyton reminded the confused girl.

"Right, speak" Brooke said as she sat down on the porch steps.

"Lucas-"

"P. Sawyer, just don't ok. He slept with Megan, he got her pregnant, he's going to do the right thing, and he'll marry her." Brooke said, tears forming in her eyes, "So you're just wasting your breath, I already know he's going to marry her."

"No Brooke…he's not going to marry Megan, that baby isn't his. She was already pregnant the night she slept with him. She's using him Brooke."

"She's using him for what?"

"For his money, she knows he has a lot of money, and she plans on using that."

"Kinda like what your doing with Nathan?" Haley asked walking up the girls.

"Haley?" Brooke asked stunned.

"That's right, I'm back, and I'm not leaving until I have Nathan."

"So you and Brooke fighting has become the highlight of my life" Nathan said with a laugh as he sat down on Lucas' couch.

Lucas sighed and picked up the PS2 controllers, "I wish she wouldn't hate me." He said as he started Madden 2007.

"Well, you did hurt her Luke…"

"I didn't mean to."

"But you slept with another girl," Nathan stated looking at his brother, trying to understand, "You slept with another girl while you and Brooke were dating."

"I didn't sleep with Megan, Nate. I wouldn't do that Brooke. Not again."

"What?"

"She told Brooke we slept together, but all I did was take her home when she was drunk off her ass. When Brooke asked me about it, I didn't know what to say."

"So you told her you slept with another girl?"

"NO!" Lucas ran his hand through his hair, "I'm not that stupid, I just didn't say anything at all. She took that as a yes and left."

Nathan sighed and patted his brothers back, "You need to tell her man."

"I know."

AN: Ok so this chapter SUCKED. I'm sorry you had to read this. This was mostly a filler chapter, because I needed to update. But I'm having major writers block at the moment, trying to think of drama is kind of hard. Hehehe. But anywho, hit that little purple button, and tell me what you thought of this chapter.
