"So did anything interesting happen?" Haley asked her girlfriend.
"Not that I can remember," Brooke said slowly trying to think how she was going to tell the woman that she loves that she almost kissed her best friend.
"Well that's good." Haley said cheerfully as she laid back on the bed pulling Brooke back to lay beside her. "I missed you so much baby," Haley added and kissed the brunette on the head.
"Haley," Brooke started as she sat up.
Oh God, she called me Haley. She never says Haley unless something bad happens. Haley thought as she too sat up giving Brooke a concerned look traced with fear in her eyes.
"Just because I don't remember it that doesn't mean that something didn't happen." Brooke said looking down at her hands suddenly finding them very interesting.
"Brooke, baby, look at me what happened?" Haley said starting to get very worried.
"Well we went out last night. Sam, Sean, Peyton, and me. And well I missed you so much. So I had a drink or two...or seven. I don't really remember."
"SEVEN?" Brooke cringed at the sudden out burst. If she acts that way about the drinking how is she going to act when I tell her the rest? "Brooke you promised me you wouldn't drink as much any more."
"Hales, baby I know. It's just I missed you and I was bored so I drank."
"Ok," Haley said trying to calm down, "I see why you can't remember. So what was it that happened?"
"Well see that's just it. I don't remember what happened. All I know is what Sean told me when he called earlier today." Haley just sat there looking at her judging by the silence she decided to continue. "Ok so he said that I was pretty wasted and he and Sam went to dance and that left me with Peyton at the table. He's not sure what happened between then and what I'm about to tell you next. But baby please you have to understand that I don't even remember or know what I was doing. Ok so he said the next thing he knew he saw me and Peyton dancing. Then he said he looked back at us and we were kinda getting closer. Anyway he left as we were because we were just dancing nothing wrong with that right? So I guess a few minutes later we were even closer and by closer I mean inches away from kissing but then he stopped us. Sweetie I'm so sorry. I didn't mean to. Honestly I don't know what I was thinking. Hell I was drunk. I wasn't thinking."
Haley stood up and started to pace for a few minutes trying to digest what she had just been told. Peyton, Peyton, Peyton. That vapid tramp. "YOU KISSED PEYTON?"
"Well not kissed, it was more of a nose graze..."
"I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU WOULD DO THIS TO ME BROOKE! And with Peyton. Peyton. Am I not enough for you Brooke?"
"Hales, I'm sorry. I was drunk. I don't know what I was doing. You're more than enough for me. You're everything I've ever wanted." Brooke said getting up trying to walk toward the pacing girl.
"No. You, you stay right there. Don't even touch me." Haley said pointing her finger at the bed. "Obviously I'm not enough for you if you did what you did with Peyton. And yeah you were drunk but that's no excuse Brooke. They say the truth really comes out when you're drunk anyway. So is that what you want? Is that who you want? Some tall blonde skank?"
"Haley I love you." Brooke said tears running down her face. "I'm so sorry. I love you so much. I never wanted to make you doubt that."
"Well Brooke, sorry doesn't cut it does it? Sorry doesn't take away what you did. Sorry doesn't make me trust you." Haley spat out not noticing or caring about the hurt expression on Brooke's face.
"Don't say that Haley. You can trust me. I love you. I would never do anything to hurt you. Never."
"You have a hell of a way of showing." Haley said her voice getting dangerously low.
"Calm down. I messed up ok. I'm not perfect. And I'm sorry I hurt you. But please don't let this come between us."
"No. This isn't my fault. You're the one that can't control yourself. You're the one who just ruined everything, Brooke. Everything we've been working these past few months to gain and to have. You just threw it all away because you had a drink or two...or seven. You did this not me." Haley said tears now streaming down her face.
"I'll do anything. Please. Anything you want just please don't let this ruin us. Haley we belong together. I love you and you love me that's all that matters."
"Brooke, I didn't ruin us, but you did." Saying that Haley turned and walked out the door.
A Few Hours Later.
"Hey Angel. It's me. Please call me back. I don't want to lose you I'll do anything to make it up to you."
"Goshhhh," Haley groaned as she put her phone away after listening to the twelfth voice message Brooke had left that day.
Taylor looked over hearing the noise. "Haley. Whatever she did, forgive her. She loves you. You guys have been through too much to let something come between you now."
"She almost kissed Peyton. How can I just forgive that."
"Because Haley think about what you just said. That almost there means that she didn't kiss her. Wait did you say Peyton?" Haley nodded. "I hate to say kid but I told you so. Peyton's after your girl. But listen Brooke is totally in love with you. Forgive her. She's worth it."
"You're right Tay. If I'm gonna keep my Brookie away from Peyton, I have to fight for her. I can't just push her away." Haley said with a smile getting off the couch.
"That a girl." Taylor said in her best mom voice.
15 minutes later.
Brooke was laying on her bed like she had been doing since Haley left. I can't believe I ruined things with her. How can I be so stupid. She was brought from her thoughts by a familiar tapping on her door.
"Brooke, can I come in?" Haley said in a calm sweet voice.
"Yeah come on in," Brooke said sitting up glad to hear that angelic voice that brought her so much joy. Haley walked in and gave the girl on the bed a small smile.
"Hey Tigger." Haley said sitting down right next to the girl.
"Hi." Brooke said getting nervous. "Haley I really am sorry." She said looking the other girl right in the eyes.
"I know you are baby. And I forgive you. It's just gonna take me sometime, ya know?"
"Yeah I understand." Brooke said nodding her head slowly.
"Come here," Haley said pulling Brooke into a tight embrace. "That blonde bitch is lucky I love being here with my girl in my arms or else I'd be kicking her ass to kingdom come."
"I'm still your girl?" Brooke asked looking at Haley with hopeful eyes.
"Always and forever baby girl."
Did ya like? Huh? Huh? Huh? Tell me, please? Ok really leave a review. I'll love you forever and ever.
