Chapter 14. Not Very Lady Like.
Peyton lay on her bed drawing one of her famous sketches, pretending not to hear the other girl in her room. She knew Brooke was going to be pissed or maybe even furious about her talk with Lucas. Of course, she being a total bitch. She didn't care about Lucas or even Brooke's feelings for that matter in this case. She knew Brooke wasn't like, in love with Lucas or anything so she had nothing to worry about.
"I'll ask you one last time Peyton, what did you tell Lucas?" Peyton looked up to see a fuming Brooke, looking at her as if she wanted to kill her. This didn't scare her at all; she knew Brooke and her attitude by now.
She paid her attention to her sketch again and replied softly, "Nothing that is important enough to tell you."
Brooke screamed in frustration and grabbed the first record where she laid her eyes on and threw it against the wall. "I hope for your sake you grow out of this immature phase. You are so fucking annoying right now, you have no idea!"
Peyton practically jumped out of her bed and watched in awe as she picked the pieces of the ground. "Are you out of your fucking mind!" She stood up the face Brooke who was breathing just as heavily as Peyton.
She shrugged her shoulders coyly as an evil smirk formed on her perfect lips "Oops, my bad."
"What is wrong with you!" Peyton pushed Brooke who fell hard on the wooden floor.
Brooke was starting to get annoyed with that question. There was nothing wrong with her for Christ's sake! The best thing to do was just ignore it. "What did you say to Lucas?"
Rolling her eyes, Peyton had no problem with exposing her annoyance. "I told you it was nothing! Would you just shut up about it?"
"No! I won't shut up until you tell me exactly what you told him." Brooke sat down on Peyton's desk and crossed her legs. "You know I am a very patient girl when I want to be. So you can wait and wait but I'm not leaving until you tell me what you told him."
The blonde started laughing so hard that she had to hold the wall to keep herself from falling on the ground. Brooke on the other hand, didn't think this was funny.
"Shut up." She hissed.
Peyton was still laughing and it didn't look like she was going to stop any time soon. "I'm sorry Brooke but it just surprises me that you're still full of bullshit." The laughter stopped and her voice was filled with anger.
The two of them were now facing each other; both faces were red and angry. Brooke was the one to break the silence. "Don't make me smack you P. Sawyer." She said sweetely with a fake smile plastered on her face.
"Oh Brookie, you're not going to slap your oldest and bestest friend, are you?" Her voice was the same as Brooke's, sweet and phony.
"Just watch me." Brooke said through her teeth. Truth be told, in this very moment Brooke didn't care if she slapped her best friend or not. She was furious. Beyond furious.
Ten seconds later they were interrupted by someone who walked in the room with an eyebrow raised. What was going on?
"Am I interrupting something?" Nathan asked quite amused. He hadn't seen a good catfight in ages.
"No you're not. In fact, I was just leaving." Brooke snapped as she grabbed her stuff ready to leave. She would deal with Peyton later. Now that Nathan was here it was only getting worse, and she wasn't in the mood to fight with him also.
Before Brooke could leave Nathan grabbed her arm and turned her around. "Where are you going?"
Brooke slapped his arm away as looked at Peyton. "This isn't over yet." She said with her index finger pointing at her friend.
"Aw, is dear Brooke threatening me?" She pretended to shake and shiver. "I'm so scared!"
The brunette rolled her eyes before walking out of the room.
Now Nathan turned to Peyton who didn't showed any emotion because of what her friend just had said. "What the hell was that about?"
"Nothing." She smiled and grabbed her boyfriends face and kissed him hard on the lips. This was probably the only way he would shut up about it.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Brooke's hands started to get hurt; she was knocking on Lucas' door for what seemed forever. And he wasn't opening the damn door! What was wrong with him!
There was of course always the chance that he really wasn't home.
She cursed under her breath before she felt a hand on her shoulder. She jumped and grabbed her heart in a reflex. "Jeez Lucas, you scared the hell out of me."
He just smiled. "How long have you been standing here?"
She played it cool. "Oh just for a few minutes."
"Liar." He laughed as he saw her confused look. "I was watching you."
Brooke raised an eyebrow and crossed her arms. "Are you like, spying on me?"
"You do realize that you are the one who was knocking on my front door for ten minutes right?"
"Yeah, and?"
Lucas rolled his eyes and grabbed her waist, pulling her closer. He kissed her softly on the lips and then placed his forehead against hers. "Hey babe."
She grinned and this time she kissed him. "Hey back at ya." She placed her forehead back at his. It was something she never did with her old boyfriends. And she had to admit that it was pretty comfortable.
"Why were you knocking on my door anyway?"
She totally forgot that she had a reason coming here. Lucas had promised her he would tell her about his little conversation with Peyton. And if Peyton didn't want to tell her, then she would get her answers with Lucas.
"You still haven't told me about your talk with Peyt." Brooke looked him deeply in the eyes, searching for any reaction of his.
He sighed and closed his eyes for a while before saying, "I don't know if you're going to like what I'm about to say."
This made Brooke even more curious if that was even possible. Did Peyton say some bad things about her? Cause if she did, Brooke wished she really smacked her 'friend' when she had the chance.
"Come on Broody, tell me."
He scratched the back of his head and said, trying to avoid the question, "And you're calling me Broody because?"
"Oh don't change the subject, come on spit it out already! You don't want to keep something important from me right?" She said, trying to make him feel guilty as hell.
He shifted uncomfortable. "No, of course not. Do you really want to know?"
"Yes." It came out wrong, a little bitchy and snappy but at the moment she didn't really care. She hated it when someone hid something from her.
"She said you're evil." He blurted out as she blinked her eyes a few times. "She said you're not really the girl who you pretend to be. And that…" He hesitated if he should say the worst thing Peyton had said.
"What?" Brooke said quietly.
"And that you're going to screw me over while I'm falling in love with you."
Brooke gulped hard and said nothing. They stood there for two minutes or so in complete silence before she broke it, "I'm going to kill that bitch."
She was already walking to her car but Lucas grabbed her by the arm and spun her around. "Whoa Brooke, why?"
"Are you kidding me Luke? She told you all this bullshit and you're okay with that? Cause, I'm certainly not." She turned to her car once more and this time she wasn't interrupted by Lucas.
He watched as her car speed off and mumbled a "This can't be good."
---------------------------------------------------
"Peyton Elizabeth Sawyer if you don't open your bedroom door right now I'll kick your ass!" It was such a Peyton thing to do to lock her bedroom door. "It's not that I'm not not going to slap you when you open the door." Brooke murmured.
After another half minute the door went finally open. "What?" Peyton asked annoyed as she opened the door a little, only showing her face.
Brooke pushed the door open with a loud smack. She gasped when she saw Nathan covering his nakedness with the sheets. Brooke turned to Peyton who was also very naked.
Not even bothering to cover up quickly, Peyton walked towards her wardrobe and grabbed a bathrobe. Putting it on slowly, she turned around to face a pissed off Brooke. "What are you doing here Brooke? Cause I think you can see I'm kind of busy right now."
Brooke, who couldn't help but take a peek at Nathan's delicious body, shook her head and turned once again to Peyton. "Who the hell do you think you are!"
"Excuse me?"
"Why did you tell Lucas all these bad things about me?"
The blonde rolled her eyes at Brooke. "So this is still about Lucas. Look Brooke, I don't want to be a bitch or anything but why don't you leave right now and we can have this conversation another time." Her eyes landed on a confused Nathan. "Cause like I said, I'm kind of in the middle of something."
He had been watching the two girls in front of him and the longer they talked, the more he was confused. "Who's Lucas?"
Both ignored him. "I don't care that you don't want to talk, because I do. I just want to know why?"
"Let me tell you one thing Brooke, the world doesn't resolve around you. This is my house and I want you to leave. Now."
It was like there snapped something inside Brooke's head. Her friend had never talked to her like that. Yes, to other guys or girls but not to her. Not like this. And it didn't make her feel better when she saw that stupid smirk on Peyton's face.
Brooke raised her hand to smack her but Peyton quickly grabbed her wrist. "Don't even think about it. That's not very lady like." Peyton hissed through grit teeth.
Yanking away from Peyton she let out a loud groan of frustration and demanded, "All I want to know is why."
Nathan who already putted some clothes on while the girls were arguing, stepped in front of them and asked again, "Who the fuck is Lucas?"
Peyton putted a hand on his chest and said in a childish tone, "He's Brooke's new boy toy."
"Shut up!" Brooke replied in anger.
"Are you still with that guy?"
Brooke ignored Nathan for the second time and paid all her attention to Peyton. "Tell. Me."
"You want to know why I told him? Because he deserves the truth. I told him about the person you were, and the person you still are. You're just like me Brooke, we screw people over." She ignored the shocked look on Nathan's face and continued. "And Lucas seems like a nice person, and I wanted him to know who you really are before he decides to be your boyfriend. Because unlike you, I do have a heart."
Brooke was just as shocked as Nathan. They both watched as Peyton grabbed a cigarette and lit it up, calmly blowing out the smoke. "What?" She said, innocently.
Finally out of her trance, Brooke took a deep breath and closed her eyes for just a few seconds. "You tell me that you do have a heart but actually I think it's the other way around. You have no heart, you lie, you cheat, and you are bored with your own life so you take every chance to ruin other people's lives. You are pathetic. I can't believe we were ever friends because you are certainly not the girl who I met years ago."
She gave Nathan an apologetic look and turned for the last time to Peyton. "Oh and by the way, yes Lucas is a nice person but we both know that that wasn't the reason you told him. You were bored with your boy toy here and angry about the fact that he wants me, and not you. You told Lucas because like I said, you love to screw with people's lives, even with mine, your ex-best friend."
With that Brooke left the building and not even a minute later Nathan followed, leaving a sad Peyton all alone in her big house.
Shaking her head, Peyton's eyes went dark as she said, "Oh Brookie, you're going down."
