The group made there way to the club later that night. Veronica, Logan, Nathan, Haley and Brooke had made their way to the dance floor and Lilly, Lucas, Wallace and Peyton sat down.
"I'm going to get a drink any one want something?" Lilly asked Lucas and Peyton nodded.
"I do but I'll come with you," Wallace got up and him and Lilly made their way to the bar.
"So Luke why aren't you out there cutting the rug with Brooke?" asked Peyton. Lucas shrugged.
"I guess I would rather be here with you." Peyton looked down and blushed.
"Yah well for the record I don't mind you being here," Lucas and Peyton got lost in each other's eyes. They only snapped back to reality when Lilly and Wallace came back baring drinks.
"Thanks," Lucas said. Lucas and Wallace began talking but through out the whole conversation he kept looking up at Peyton. Lilly noticed and noted it as weird but really thought nothing else of it. After a while everyone came and surrounded the table.
"Hey Broody," Brooke greeted and slid onto his lap. Lucas gave an uneasy smile. Peyton looked at the two of them and deflated. The group continued conversations when Rachel walked in. Wallace had a confused looked across his face but once his fogginess cleared he recognized Rachel.
"Oh my god Rachel?" Wallace exclaimed. Rachel had the same look of confusion pass her face.
"Wallace Fennel. Well, well, well I haven't seen you in a while," she smirked in which Wallace shared. Everyone else looked confused.
"Care to explain how you two know each other?" asked a dumbfounded Brooke.
"Last year at states we hooked up," smiled Rachel.
"Yah then I moved to Neptune and we never really crossed paths again. Everyone nodded his or her understanding. Rachel left a few moments later because of the nasty vibe projecting off of Brooke. Veronica and Logan were making-out well sitting on a chair at the table.
"How can you breathe?" Wallace interrupted after watching them for a couple minutes. Veronica and Logan shot him looks and Wallace just threw his hands up in surrender. Logan and Veronica stopped and decided to join the conversation-taking place in front of them.
"Wow Hearst I hear that's a pretty good school," commented Lucas.
"Yah," Haley agreed. "I wouldn't mind going to there."
"Well any schools a good school I guess," sighed Lilly. She had gotten accepted to Hearst and decided on going. Mainly because it was the only school that accepted her. She really want something further away from Neptune…well mainly away from her parents. Her dad was okay but her mom despised her. It didn't bother Lilly that much, but it was annoying to have to listen to Celeste's constant nagging.
"I have to go to the washroom," announced Peyton. She got up and headed to the washrooms.
"I'm going to grab a drink anyone want something?" Lucas announced. Everyone shook their heads 'no' and Lucas went off. Instead of going to the bar he ran and caught up with Peyton. He gently pushed her into the supply closet.
"Hey Luke? You all right?" asked a confused Peyton.
"I was just going to ask you that. You look upset. Is something wrong?" Lucas asked with concern lacing his voice. Peyton looked down.
"It's nothing," she mumbled.
"Yah right not buying it. Now tell me what's going on," demanded Lucas.
Peyton let out a sigh. "I hate this. I hate that I love you this much but we can't show anyone. I hate I can only kiss you when we are alone. It isn't supposed to be like this. And to top it all of I am going behind one of my best friends back!" Peyton was nearly yelling by the end. Lucas brought his hand up to her cheek and rubbed it comfortingly.
"I know Peyton but we have to keep this-us a secret. I can't break up with Brooke then just go out with her best friend. We have to keep us a secret. At least for now," explained Lucas. Peyton nodded and Lucas brought her head up and gave her a kiss. The simple kiss led to a full throttle make-out session. They didn't even hear or notice the door open until they heard someone say 'oh my god.' They turned around and came face to face with Veronica and Logan.
"Well there is one secret solved," Veronica mumbled to Logan. "What is going on here?" she asked.
"It's nothing- please don't tell Brooke," begged Lucas. Peyton looked away when he called them nothing but put it in the back of her mind.
"Wait…are you guys?" Logan asked with a puzzled look on his face. Lucas and Peyton looked down and Veronica nodded to Logan. "Hmm interesting."
"Are you going to tell Brooke," Peyton asked. Part of her wanted them to say no the other part wanted them to say yes. If they told her then her and Lucas's relationship would be out in the open.
"I don't know," Veronica sighed. Logan put an easing arm around her waist. The four stood in silence for what felt like hours. "You guys are going to tell her," announced Veronica suddenly.
"What?" Peyton and Lucas asked confusedly.
"You two," Veronica stated pointing to Lucas and Peyton, "are going to tell Brooke everything. And you are going to do it soon." They both looked down. Lucas opened his mouth to speak but was interrupted by someone coming to the door.
"Hey guys what are you…" the person began then stopped when she saw the couple hidden beneath the darkness of the closet. "What's going on?"
"Hey Brooke, umm Logan and I have to go," Veronica said uncomfortably. She grabbed Logan's hand and dragged him away. Just as she turned the corner leading back out to the club she heard a confused Brooke ask 'what's going on?' Veronica stiffened and Logan hugged her soothingly.
"Don't worry Ronnie," he said gently.
"What jerks I just can't believe they would do that!" she huffed. They made their way to the table where Lilly, Nathan, Haley and Wallace were sitting.
"Where's everyone else?" asked Nathan. Veronica opened her mouth to answer him when they heard yelling the group directed their attention to where the noise was coming from.
"Brooke please listen," asked Lucas who had a handprint engraved in his cheek. Brooke turned around and glared at him.
"Why Lucas? Why should I listen to you? What you did to me…with one of my best friends, I can't listen to you. I can barley look at you," Brooke gave him a disgusted look through her tears and stormed out of Tric. Peyton came up to Lucas; she also had been crying and had tear streaks running down her face. Lucas mumbled encouraging words into her ear as they hugged. The two of them didn't bother coming back to the table. Whether it was because they didn't want to explain themselves or because they didn't want to listen to the lectures waiting for them. They went outside and presumably headed home. Veronica turned around in Logan's hold so she was facing him.
"Maybe we should head home. You know check on Brooke," she commanded gently. Logan nodded and reached into his pocket for his car keys. "You guys coming?" she asked the rest of the remaining people.
"Maybe the guys and I shouldn't go. I'm sure she isn't to fond over the male species right now," Nathan suggested.
"Yah Nathan's right. Maybe we should just go," Haley agreed and referred to the two girls.
"But Veronica…you promised we could you know," Logan whined quietly. Veronica looked disappointed.
"Well tomorrow for sure," Veronica smiled at him.
"Fine," Logan sighed.
"If you two are done with the PDA's then maybe we could get going," suggested Wallace.
"Fine. Haley Lilly and I will take Logan's mustard mobile and the guys can go with Nathan to his house," Veronica instructed.
"My car is not a mustard mobile," Logan pouted.
"Sure it's not," Veronica smirked. Logan just sighed dramatically and handed Veronica the keys. "Thank-you," she said and kissed him quickly on the lips. The girls all headed out to the car and drove to the Davis home. Veronica used her key and unlocked the door. She led the way upstairs and into Brooke's room. They walked into the room and found Brooke sitting on her bed crying with a pillow clasped in her grip.
"Brooke I am so sorry," Haley said. Veronica had filled her and Lilly in on everything on their way over to the house. Brooke dropped the pillow and gripped on to Haley. She cried for a few more minutes and eventually ran out of tears.
"You guys don't have to be here right now. I'll be fine," Brooke said trying to give them a reassuring smile.
"Trust me we want to be here, and none of us had anything more important than being here with you," Haley told her.
"Yah but Veronica, Logan just got here you guys probably had a big night planned," Brooke looked at her sympathetically. Veronica was just about to answer her when Lilly spoke up.
"They were just going to do it," Lilly said simply. Veronica's eye widened in horror. But Brooke just laughed.
"Veronica Mars you are no longer cotton candy and sunshine," Brooke giggled out. Veronica grinned at her and stuck out her tongue playfully. The rest of the night the girls spent eating ice cream and talking.
A/N: Okay the third chapter is done (duh). Sorry for the hair thing I was on the phone when I was editing it and I guess I over looked it. My bad. But Wallace was new to Neptune and I don't have a clue where he lived before so I thought it would be fun to make him live in North Carolina. Yah so they could have played each other at state. Please review they make me happy!
