That's All Chapter Eight—Herbal Tea and Basketball

DISCLAIMER: If I owned them do you really think I'd be sitting here writing this? I'd either be working on season three or hanging out with the cast. I don't claim to own them. Never have, never will.

SUMMARY: Takes place after the finale. It's Brucas, Naley and later on a Jeyton. That's all I'm telling you for now because I don't wanna ruin the surprises.

I'd like to clarify something right here. I am an idiot, and instead of writing Jeyton in the summary I accidentally put Leyton instead. So yeah I'm a dumbass and I am so sorry to any of you who are reading this because you think it'll turn into a Leyton. I'm a Brucas through and trough. Again, I'm sorry.

Thank you all for your reviews. It really means a lot to me. Thank you all so, so much. Thanks to all of you who took the time to vote too. You guys totally rocked my socks! Thanks!

Brooke hung up the phone and scribbled a quick not to Luke who was playing basketball with the guys. She then grabbed her car keys and went racing out the door. "Well that would explain why she's been feeling all weird" Brooke thought.

When Brooke got to Peyton's, Haley came racing down the stairs to see her. "Thank-God! She's a wreck Brooke." Was all that Haley said.

"Go tell her that I'm here. I'm going to go make her a cup of that herbal tea stuff she likes first. It'll calm her down a bit" Brooke said to Haley.

"No, go on up and see her Brooke. She needs you." Haley explained. " I'll make the tea." Haley continued. Brooke nodded and went up the stairs to Peyton's room. She found Peyton curled up on her bed staring off into to space with tears just streaming out of her eyes. "Hey it'll all be ok P. Sawyer." Brooke said sitting next to her on the bed. Peyton rolled over and faced Brooke. "No it won't. Jake isn't even here, I have no idea how to contact him. I don't know when he'll come back, or if he'll come back Brooke. I'm seventeen, alone, and pregnant." Peyton said starting to sob.

"Peyton Elizabeth Sawyer! I am surprised at you. Did I just hear you say that you were totally alone? What did you think we were going to all just ditch you? You are most defiantly not alone! Even if you don't have Jake you still have me and you will always have me. You also have Haley, but at the moment she has her own issues, but you know she'll help you anyway possible too! And you two are basically going through the same thing so you can I don't know share stories or something. But anyway my point here is you have me and you are stuck with me forever. I'll do whatever you need Goldilocks. Doctors appointments, delivery room, whatever." Brooke said hugging Peyton.

"Thanks Brooke." Peyton cried.

"Anytime. Hoes over bros?"

"Hoes over bros." Peyton said wiping her eyes.

"Come here." Brooke said pulling Peyton to her again. And that's how the two best friends sat for a while. Brooke hugged Peyton until Peyton couldn't cry anymore. Then Peyton lay down and fell into a dreamless sleep.

Lucas walked into his house, Nathan following behind him. He went to throw his keys on the hall table when he saw the note that Brooke had left.

Broody,

I'm at Peyton's. I don't know when

I'll be home. Don't wait up. Oh and

We are never having sex again. I'll ex-

Plain later. I love you,

Cheery.

"Is Brooke mad at you or something?" Nathan asked reading the note over Luke's shoulder. "No, she wouldn't of bothered with the Broody Cheery thing if she was pissed." Lucas explained walking to the kitchen. He took out two bottles of water and handed one to Nathan. "So…" Nathan said trying to make sense of what Brooke's note meant.

"So this is probably something she read in Cosmo about how to increase intimacy or some other garbage along those lines." Lucas explained shrugging his shoulders and taking a drink of water. "Your girlfriend has the craziest ideas I have ever heard of." Nathan replied also taking a drink of water. Lucas smiled. "It's one of the reasons why I love her. She decided that we needed to make out on the Ferris wheel tonight."

"At least one of our lives is good."

"Did you and Haley have another fight?"

"Yup."

"What happened this time?"

"Well I had been avoiding her and she knew it and called me on it, and I got all defensive, and we were screaming and she said that she didn't have to take this and turned to walk away and I said to her that leaving was what she was good at and she turned around told me to screw off, and told me to stay out of her's and the baby's life." Lucas shook his head at his brother's and best friend's childish…antics. He just wished that Nathan and Haley would hurry up and at least be civilized with one another so him and Brooke could stop walking around on eggshells in their company. "I know." Nathan said about the look Luke had on his face. There was a knock on the door and Lucas got up to answer it. "Keith"
