Chapter 18. The Party (part II)
As Haley leaned in to kiss the guy, Brooke startled with confusion in her voice "isn't that…"
"Nathan!"
Peyton practically ran towards the couple as she yelled in anger, "what the hell is going on! What are you even doing here?" She screamed at Nathan.
Nathan was for once in his life speechless. He stammered and tried to come up with a good excuse but the right words just didn't come up in his half drunkenly mind. "Tim's my best friend so of course I'm invited to this party. And, we were just dancing, I swear I didn't know she wanted to kiss me!" He said sheepishly as he watched and half listened to a fuming Peyton, his eyes darted to the pretty brunette.
Brooke was also speechless. Her mouth was slightly open and her eyes were filled with confusion. Maybe even a little hurt. Nathan had no idea, and the fact that his head was spinning wasn't really helping either.
"And you!"
If looks could kill Haley would be dead. And buried in the backyard.
"How could you try to kiss my boyfriend? What kind of fucking lame friend are you?"
Haley didn't know what to say or what to do. Everything was going so fast. First the dancing, something that she enjoyed very much, then the almost kissing and within ten seconds everything was upside down.
Then something inside Haley snapped.
Brooke had said to Haley that Nathan and Peyton had broke up a few days ago.
"But Brooke said that you guys broke up." She said with a shyly voice that came out as nothing but a whisper.
Peyton's eyes went wide. Turning to Brooke, who was really hard trying to avoid Peyton's gaze and getting her balance at the same time, Peyton started to get hysterical "you said what!"
"I said to her to loose up a bit, you know, make out with some guys. I never told her to make out with Nathan!" She knew she was lying but the chance that Peyton believed her and not Haley was very big, she was her best friend for years after all.
"That is not-not true!" Haley's voice started to crack, almost at the verge of tears, as she tried to explain everything.
Peyton grabbed Haley's arm as she gasped in pain, she pushed Haley on the couch and said in a cold tone "spill."
Brooke saw this as a sign to but in. "Don't listen to her Peyt, she's a liar! You know she's doing everything to be popular like us!"
But Peyton wasn't listening, she nodded her head to Haley for her to continue. Brooke and Nathan watched as Haley confessed.
"It was right before the party…"
The three girls were having fun with doing shots and drinking some vodka mixed with beer. It was disgusting but they drank it anyway.
Because Peyton and Brooke weren't exactly amateurs when it came to drinking, they had to drink way more to feel something. And Haley, being the only amateur in the room, was already tipsy after two beers and one shot of tequila.
They both laughed as they saw Haley doing a weird dance while she tried to sing "Material Girl" from Madonna, but failed. Badly.
"Ok Tutor Girl, enough booze for you. I, on the other hand, need some more. I'm going to get it, you want some too Brooke?" As Brooke nodded her head in agreement, Peyton walked to the kitchen leaving Brooke and Haley all alone.
"So Hales…"
"So Brookie." Haley smiled.
Brooke frowned as she shook her head from side to side. "Don't call me Brookie, it's Brooke, got it?"
"Got it." Haley said like she just learned something at school.
"Anyway what I was trying to say is, are you planning on making out with someone at the party?"
The other girl's eyes went wide in pure shock. As she studied Brooke's face for a while she said laughing, "what? Nooo!"
Brooke pushed Haley playfully on the shoulder. "You know, make out, with a guy." When Haley didn't flinch or anything but just stared at her she continued "a guy? The opposite sex?"
"I know what a guy is Brooke!" Haley said finally giving in. "But I don't know about the making out part."
"Oh come on, there must be someone you like, somebody who you've always dreamed about kissing someday."
Haley blushed as she tucked at her shirt. "Well, there is this guy who I kind of like…"
"Who?" Brooke asked excited.
"Uhm, I don't think you're going to like what I'm about to say." She giggled.
Brooke was starting to get royally pissed if that girl didn't spit it out in two seconds. "Just say it!"
"Nathan Scott."
"I had talked to him a few times because I've tutored him and he was the first… Well, hot guy besides Lucas who is nice to me and even wants to talk to me. And that was when Brooke said that you two had broken up." Haley said as she pointed between Peyton and Nathan.
Brooke made a noise of aggravation as her pretty face darkened. "You are such a bitch."
"No you are! Telling Haley we broke up is such a skanky move Brooke, it's low, even for you." Peyton broke in as she tried to let it all sink in.
"Like you are one to speak! You fucked me over so many times Peyton and we hated each other remember, I was just messing with you like you had messed with me."
That was it. Peyton couldn't hide it anymore. "You want to talked about messing up with people's life? Why don't you tell Haley about the little wager of ours."
"Peyton…"
"What's going on?" A male's voice interrupted their scream fest. "Brooke?" Lucas asked as he tried to get some answers.
Peyton laughed as he watched the confused looks on Haley, Nathan and Lucas' face and the scared-to-death look on Brooke's. It was quite entertaining.
"Ooh, things are getting good. Come on Brooke, tell us all about the wager."
"What wager?" Nathan said as he finally got his voice back. He had just watched the whole thing and the Haley confession caught him pretty off guard too.
"The wager Brooke and I made up. Come on Brooke spit it out!" Peyton said as she pushed Brooke who lost her balance but ended up safely in Lucas' arms.
"Peyton, please don't." She almost pleaded and that wasn't really a Brooke thing to do, they all knew that.
"No I think I want to hear this." Nathan said.
"Me too." Lucas agreed.
Brooke remained quiet and that was Peyton's sign to tell the whole story. Looking straight at Haley, who looked frightened, she began her story. "Brooke and I made this little bet thingy, we had to make you believe that we actually liked you and that we wanted to be friends with you. I can't believe you bought that!" Peyton laughed as she saw the shocked faces.
"We betted that we could turn you into Miss Slut, Brooke thought that would never happen and I thought, with a little help of course, it would work. So yeah Haley, if you thought that we really liked you then you're wrong, cause you are still the same, stupid Tutor Girl."
Then Peyton turned around to face Lucas who was getting angry at her whole outburst. He looked at Brooke and shook his head disappointed. "And then we've got the famous Lucas. Brooke here saw some new meat and she being Brooke, wanted to have that. Yes Lucas, that's right, it's all about sex with Brooke, don't you understand that?"
"That-that's not true, I really like Lucas."
"Oh bullshit Brooke! Remember the days that you got pissed because Lucas wanted to take things slow? You hate take things slow, you're always the one who says: slow is good, fast is better."
Brooke looked at the ground knowing everything that Peyton said was true. She couldn't believe this was happening. Lucas looked hurt and humiliated as he turned around fast, but Brooke caught his arm.
"Lucas please don't leave, non of this is true, please believe me."
He looked at her with disgust. "I can't believe I actually bought your stupid act. So this was all because of sex huh? I guess what everybody says is true, you are one lying bitch who only cares about sleeping around with multiple guys. Well guess what? You fooled me, I bought it. Congrats."
"No Lucas, I'm so sorry…"
"It's over Brooke."
And with that he offered Haley a hand as she grabbed it. Giving Brooke one last look of disappointment, they left the party.
Brooke watched as the two best friends left as she looked back at Peyton her eyes cold and hard. "This is all your fault, I can't believe you made me the evil bitch out of this, it was your plan to start the wager for Christ sakes!"
"Yes but you caused most of the damage. I'm proud of you girl." Peyton replied flatly as she grinned with an evil smile plastering on her face.
"Shut up Peyton." Brooke hissed. "Anyway, the whole turning Haley into a slut didn't work out really well right?" She spat coldly.
"I guess not really." Peyton muttered as saw Brooke looking at Nathan.
Brooke let out a phony laugh and placed her hand on Nathan's chest, slowly making circles with her index finger. He seemed to be in some sort of trance as he didn't respond to her touch.
"So you know what that means right? I win the wager and that means…"
"No way." Peyton said shaking her head quickly.
"…I can fuck Nathan." Brooke finished now with her own face in a devilish grin. Nathan was shocked to say the least, and Peyton seemed royally pissed off because she knew Brooke was right.
"But he's my boyfriend!"
"I'm sorry babe, a deal is a deal."
Brooke's words made Nathan wake up out of his trance. As much as he wanted Brooke, she was drunk (and so was he) and if this was all just a game to her then he didn't want to sleep with her.
"I don't think so." he spat coldly "I don't want to be used, thank you very much."
As he moved away from her she rolled her eyes and replied just as harshly back "oh but Nathan, you first have to resist me."
He cocked an eyebrow "what are you saying?"
"Oh you know what I mean, why don't we go up that stairs over there and we'll see what's going to happen."
Peyton had enough as she lifted her hand to slap Brooke, but Nathan caught her arm and sneered "don't you dare Peyton, you caused enough for today. Just go home and I'll deal with this one here." He said coldly as he pointed to Brooke who was currently kissing Nathan's neck.
"No way I'm leaving you and that slut alone!" She yelled in frustration as she saw Brooke's smirk. "He's still my boyfriend you know!"
"Oh I know, but not for long if he fucked me."
Nathan pushed Brooke away as he whispered in her ear, "go upstairs, I'll be there in a few seconds."
As Brooke left with a wink, Nathan turned to Peyton and said before she could break in "Nothing's going to happen Peyton. Do you really think I would fuck your drunken best friend?"
As Peyton raised her left eyebrow he added quickly "I wouldn't do that to you Peyt, I may like her but I won't take advantage of her. Please just leave and trust me."
After thinking about it for a good minute, Peyton nodded her head and left the party.
"Oh boy, this is so fucked up." Nathan mumbled as he took the stairs.
