"Pack your bags and get out of town." Nathan said, staring down at the older boy struggling to get to his feet.

"Who the hell do you think you are man?" Hayden asked, wiping the blood away from his lip.

"Who the hell do I think I am?" Nathan repeated, "I'm Haley's Husband! Who the hell are you!" He screamed, Haley was a very touchy topic for him.

"Not from what I've heard." Hayden responded, smirking as Nathan swung blindly at him. A punch that he easily ducked, side stepping away from Nathan and watching as his fist connected hard with the wall. "And jeez, what is with you Scott brothers, I don't have a thing for your precious Haley." He finally said, taking pity on the poor boy, currently shaking his injured fist like he thought it would help.

"You just stay away from her." Nathan final said, standing up straight and looking him directly in the eye before turning and heading towards the door.

"You stay away from my sister." Hayden said, enjoying the deer in the headlight look that greeted him when Nathan turned to look at him. "Don't worry…I wont tell Haley. Not that I think she'll care, I mean, she is pretty much over you man." he finished as Nathan shook his head and slammed the door behind him. "Asshole."

"Brooke! We've been here for hours!" Peyton moaned, looking around the crowded mall and groaning.

"Peyton, I told you I had to go Christmas shopping! And you were the one who wanted to tag along, so shove it!" Brooke said with a grin before grabbing Peyton's arm and pulling her into Victoria Secrets.

"What are we doing in here?" Peyton questioned, "Getting yourself a Christmas present? Or would that be a Christmas gift for Luke?" she said with a grin.

"Neither actually." Brooke said, turning to face the blonde, "This would be where I'm getting my gift for Tutor girl." she explained, silently registering the visible change in Peyton.

"O-oh, right, Haley." Peyton stuttered out.

"Yes…tutor girl, Haley…" Brooke said with a cocked eyebrow, "So, help me out here!"

"What? What do you mean?" Peyton questioned, looking around the store quickly, her back turned to Brooke.

"Well, What would you like to see tutor girl in?" Brooke questioned with a smile, hearing Peyton swallow. Peyton then turned to face Brooke before quickly glancing at her watch,

"Oh man, I've gotta go Brooke, I'm going to be late-" she began

"Late for what?" Haley asked, suddenly coming up behind the two and scaring the crap out of Peyton in the process.

"Uh, I, Um" Peyton began, looking up with pleading eyes to Brooke.

"Wait?" Brooke said urgently, "What the hell are you doing here?" she demanded.

Haley just raised her eyebrow and gave both girls a strange look as she held up her shopping bags.

"Christmas Shopping?" she answered simply, laughing a little at their behavior.

"Small world…" Peyton said through her smile, shooting a look at Brooke who just smiled innocently and handed her bags to Peyton who grunted as the brunette headed away to look at the various items.

"Brooke roped you into Christmas shopping with her?" Haley asked Peyton, offering her a small smile and a look of pity.

"I kind of volunteered myself" Peyton admitted with a shrug, "I mean, I totally regret it now…" she said with a short laugh, blushing slightly when Haley followed suit, flashing her that huge smile of hers.

"Pey…" Haley began, "If you ever wanna talk…" she said lamely, "about anything…you know I'm here for you right?"

Peyton couldn't help but smile at the shorter girl, feeling that familiar feeling creeping up again, "I know" she said, her eyelids fluttering slightly as Haley placed her hand on her forearm.

"Good…" Haley responded, shifting from one foot to the other, "Now lets make sure Brooke doesn't get to carried away" she said before shooting Peyton another grin and grabbing her hand, pulling her towards Brooke who had an armful of merchandise.

"Enjoying yourself?" Peyton questioned as they approached her, her mind racing a mile a minute, trying desperately to decipher these new feelings.

"I see you are…" Brooke responded with a grin, spotting the two girls interlocked hands.

"What?" Haley questioned her as Peyton sent Brooke the textbook definition of a death stare. "Why am I always so out of the preverbal loop all the time?" she said shaking her head, her hand still holding on to the other girls, absentmindedly rubbing her thumb up and down Peyton's.

"Oh, I'd say your more in it then you think!" Brooke giggled happily, the look on Peyton's face when they approached her proof enough of her theory. Peyton Sawyer had a crush on Tutor Girl.
