Unchained Melody

Chapter 4

AN: Ok. So my Internet died and Comcast kept changing the day they were going out. But I'm back now! Yay. While my Internet died I got really sick, so this may not be as long as I had originally planned. I'm also having writers block, bronchitis, a crashed internet, and writers block. I am so sorry! So I'm sorry about the three-week wait, and the short chapter, but its spring break now, and while I'm writing make up essays for school, I'll be updating this story like crazy. I love you all so much and thank you for reviewing and stuff. It makes me happy. So review again, and if you haven't reviewed yet, please review.

Brooke glared at Haley and jumped up from her spot on the steps. "Listen, Keller you aren't going to get Nathan, so you might as well give up right now!"

"It's James, Brooke." Haley rolled her eyes while crossing her arms, "And I will get Nathan back."

Peyton snorted. "Yeah really, how?"

"Well, Peyton, he loves me, unlike you, so I don't have to try hard."

"Whatever Haley, if he loved you, he wouldn't be marrying Peyton tomorrow."

"TOMORROW?" Haley screamed, and the girls nodded, "Chris told me it was next week…"

"You actually believed him?" Brooke laughed, "And you thought I was stupid in high school."

"Brooke-"

"At least I didn't run off with some rock star, and never look back, and at least I never listened to Chris Keller, or cheated on my husband."

"Brooke, you aren't married."

"That's beside the point James. You may be smart grade wise, but you're probably the stupidest person I have ever met in my life."

"At least I didn't fall for Lucas Scott twice."

"Do not go there!"

"Ok so you want Nathan back, and you're dissing your best friend?" Peyton questioned.

"We haven't been friends since he and Brooke came to give me my final for English, junior year."

Brooke rolled her eyes, "Just go Haley."

"No."

"I'll call the cops," Peyton threatened taking out her cell phone.

"Alright, I'm going." Haley left.

After about twenty minutes of silence Lucas spoke up, "I was going to ask her to marry me." Nathan looked at him. "That night, I had it all planned out, dinner, then a walk on the beach. But Megan had to go lie to Brooke."

"You have to tell Brooke the truth."

"When?"

"Tomorrow?"

Lucas nodded, "I guess I will."

"That's the spirit. Come on, lets get some sleep, its already 3."

"Alright." Lucas stood up, "Night bro."

"Good night Lucas" Nathan walked up stairs leaving Lucas on the couch.

"Come on P, lets go party" Brooke said walking inside. Peyton sighed and followed her best friend back inside. She glanced around the room and found Jenna and Melissa- two of her friends from an art class she took- dancing with the stripper. She smiled and walked into the den and pulled out her cell phone.

"Hello?" Nathan asked as he sat up in bed.

"Hey babe"

"Oh Peyt! I forgot to call you."

Peyton laughed, "Did I wake you up?"

"Well it is three, but no, I was just getting into bed."

"It's already three?" Peyton asked.

"Yes" Nathan laughed, "Party to long?"

"No actually, me and Brooke talked and Haley made a surprise visit." Peyton peered into the living room, "Looks like Brookes making up to the stripper for missing his show."

"You two missed the strippers?"

"Surprising, I know. Well hey, I'll let you go get your beauty sleep."

"Alright, I love you."

"Love you too." Peyton hung up and joined the party. Peyton danced with Jenna and Melissa, while Brooke talked to the stripper.

"P. Sawyer!" Brooke yelled running over to her.

"What B. Davis?"

"The stripper and I were about to kiss, and I told him that I couldn't." Brooke stated franticly, "What's wrong with me?"

"Its called your in love with Lucas."

"Oh no! STRIPPER COME BACK!" Brooke yelled running after him.

Peyton sighed, when was Brooke going to learn?

A couple hours later the girls were all leaving, "Bye Peyt, I'll see you around five!" Jenna said hugging her.

"Bye Jenna." Peyton smiled, "Oh and Jenna."

"Yeah Peyt?"

"Thank you so much for being a brides maid." Jenna smiled and hugged her again.

"You're my best friend Peyt, it's an honor to do this. Really"

"Ok, if you say so, bye Jen"

"Bye Peyt" Jenna left arm in arm with Melissa.

"Sawyer?"

"Brooke." Peyton turned around, "Hey B, why are you crying?"

"I love him Peyton, and I don't know. With you getting married, I'm never going to see him again."

"Yes you are."

"No, no I'm not. We're going back to our normal lives." Peyton sighed and hugged her sobbing friend.

"Shh, B, it's going to be ok. Come on lets go to bed."

"Okay," Brooke agreed and the two walked up to bed.

Lucas lay in bed tossing and turning, thinking about Brooke. He loved her; there was no doubt about that. But how was he going to make her fall in love with him again? Brooke didn't believe a word he said, how was she going to believe that he didn't sleep with Megan, when he did cheat on her with Peyton? He sighed, she was never going to believe him, but he would try. He'd try as hard as he could, all he wanted was for Brooke to trust him, believe him, and love him.

AN: Im half way done with chapter five. YAY! I'll have it up soon.
