Ok so here is the new chapter, I hope its ok. There is practically no LP in there, sorry about that but I wanted more of a backstory as well as some Brooke/Peyton stuff. Hope you like it anyway. Please review!


Flashback

"Felix?" I watch as she looks at him in shock and he gives her a faint smile. She is still looking at him in shock and doesn't know how to react; she is just sitting in his arms.

"Yeah Peyton its me, I heard there was a party around here and just had to come and see what was going on, I mean what's a party worth when I'm not here?" He states cockily and I roll my eyes, his ego was always too big. I make a move to go out there but stop when I hear Peyton laugh lightly.

"You are way too cocky Mr. Tagaro."

"You know I love the teacher/student game." He teases her softly and I stand here in shock, when were they ever like this, as far as I knew Peyton had always hated Felix, he wrote dyke on her locker.

"So if you came for the party why are you with me?" She asks him softly and then looks down at her hands. He leas over and grasps her chin forcing her to look in his eyes.

"Because I can't stand it when you cry." My mouth drops open in shock as he tenderly wipes tears away from her face.

"Why? You don't care about me! I mean come on you wrote dyke on my locker."

He runs his hands through his hair in frustration and lets out a low growl, "I know what I did was wrong and believe me I'm not proud of it. But one, Anna is my sister and I didn't want people thinking badly of her and two, you always tease the ones you like."

"You like me? But you were with Brooke." She states with a slightly angry tone to his voice as I tune in to hear his reasoning.

"I was with Brooke because I couldn't be with you. Brooke was hot and I really did like her, I wasn't using her but there was always something there for you and I didn't realise it until I left." Peyton open and closes her mouth several times before sighing and then sitting up straight.

"Look I can't talk about this right now; I need to get out of here."

"I can take you home; you're in no condition to drive."

I watch as the two of them walk towards Peyton's car and she hands him the keys. I don't know what to think about this, it is all so confusing. I feel an arm wrap around my shoulders and feel myself being pulled back against a hard muscular chest.

"Are you ok Brooke?" I close my eyes and sigh.

"How long have you been standing there Nathan?"

"Long enough to know that Felix has had feelings for Peyton for a while." I turn around in his arms and wrap my arms around his waist while burying my face in his chest. His hands start to rub up and down my back trying to calm me down.

"I don't know what to think about this, I mean I never really had deep feelings for Lucas, he was just there and I know that sounds bad but it's true. I just never realized that it went both ways, what is it with my boyfriends being in love with my best friend?" Nathan lets out a loud laugh at my comment and tightens his grip around me.

"Well don't worry; I'll never be in love with Peyton." He informs me and I look up at him with a questionable look in my eye.

"But you're not my boyfriend." I whisper softly and then move my eyes away from his, my feelings for him getting the better of me. Nathan and I have been attached at the hip practically. Things with Haley blew up and Lucas and Peyton were always together so Nathan and I kinda stuck together, which obviously wasn't a good idea on my part, I always let feelings get in the way, I should have known this would happen.

"It doesn't have to be like that." He admits softly and my head snaps up to look into his eyes.

"Nathan." I whisper longingly and he places his hand under my chin and our lips meet in a soft kiss, our first kiss.

End Flashback

I rush into Peyton's house trying to find her and hope that she is ok. I got a frantic call from Haley saying that Lucas and Peyton had a confrontation and that she was worried about Peyton but couldn't leave the kids. I came over as fast as I could.

I burst into Peyton's room and see her laying on the bed her art book in her hands and tears streaming down her cheeks. She looks up at me with sad eyes and I rush over to her bed, climb on and wrap my arms around her. She buries her face into my shoulder and I feel tears sink into my shirt.

"He brought back so many memories Brooke." She states with a shaky voice as she lets out a small sob, "One in particular, the night when he . . . when he . . ." I stroke her hair as she tries to tell me about the memory that attacked her.

"I know babe, I had a similar memory on my way over here. But mine was a lot happier than yours." I gave her a soft smile and she weakly smiles back.

"You mean the one where you caught me with Felix and got together with Nathan?' She asks me softly and I nod my head. She grins at me through her tears.

"That was the best and worst night of our lives huh?" She asks me softly and I nod my head.

"Remember what Nathan did to Lucas? Do you want me to let him do it again?" I ask her with a wicked grin and she bursts out in laughter.

"No its ok I think Nathan did enough damage the last time" She states softly and I nod my head in agreement. Nathan was so angry at Lucas that night, not just for hurting Peyton but for him as well, he let out a lot of anger.

"Do you remember when we got to school the next day? And Bevin hit on Nathan?" I ask her softly and she grins.

"Brooke I don't think anyone could forget that day." She closes her eyes as if remembering the day perfectly, "You were standing right there and she asked Nathan if he wanted to go for a ride, you slapped her and told her to stay away from Nathan." I laugh at the memory.

"And then she was like 'it's not like he's your boyfriend.' It felt so good to throw that back in her face."

"I remember watching the scene and I turned to look at Nathan and he had this adoring look on his face, he looked down at you and wrapped his arm around your waist and said 'actually I am Brooke and I are together.'" Peyton has this big smile on her face. That was the best day of my life, I had an amazing boyfriend and Peyton, even if it was only for a few second, managed to forget all about Lucas and she was happy.

"I was so happy for you Brooke but then Lucas had to ruin it but still." She looks down at her hands and I sigh.

"Hey, let's get some ice cream and watch 'Pride and Prejudice' four hours of Colin Firth." Peyton grins at me as our obsession with Colin Firth comes to the surface; Nathan always told me that that obsession was unhealthy.


Peyton's POV:

Brooke left a couple of hours ago, I had fallen asleep near the end of the movie and found a note saying that Nathan had called and had gone home but if I need anything that I must call her.

I sigh and sit up stretching out my arms and legs. I pick up a book by the table and a photo falls out. I lean down and pick up the photo. I smile softly when I see it; it's of Felix and I at this carnival thing that was on. Broke went photo crazy and was like Felix. Peyton. Photo. NOW. I trace the outline of us, Felix is kissing my nose and I'm trying not to laugh. I smile softly but when I look to the edge of the photo my smile quickly disappears, I never noticed until now that Lucas was on the side looking at us with a jealous expression.


Thanks to everyone who reviewed the last chapter, I really appreciate it!
