Thanks to everyone who has reviewed! I hope you all like this chapter. A lot will happen with the LeytonBake rectangle. I may actually update later today but if I don't then you all will have to wait until Monday. : (

I've Got A Dark Alley And A Bad Idea That Says You Should Shut Your Mouth is a song by Fall Out Boy.

Joke me something awful just like kisses on the necks of "best friends"
We're the kids who feel like dead ends
And I want to be known for my hits, not just my misses
I took a shot and didn't even come close
At trust and love and hope
And the poets are just kids who didn't make it
And never had it at all

And the record won't stop skipping
And the lies just won't stop slipping
And besides my reputation's on the line
We can fake it for the airwaves
Force our smiles, baby, half dead
From comparing myself to everyone else around me.

I don't own anything!

"Yeah, I'm not really in the mood to shop either." Lucas said. "I can walk Peyton home."

"Actually, I wanted to show you something Lucas, over there, in that store. Why don't you let Jake walk her home?" Skillz looked at Lucas.

"Yeah, I can walk with her." Jake said sadly. "It was great seeing you all again. Let's go Peyton." Jake said as he started walking.

Lucas watched as Peyton and Jake walked away. Brooke watched him as he longed to be the guy walking Peyton home.


Mouth sat in his room looking at pictures of him and Jimmy when they were longer. His phone started ringing. He checked the caller id. GATTINA. "Not answering that!" he said out loud. The machine picked up the call. "Mouth? It's Rachel. I know you're home. Mouth? Come on! You have to talk to me sometime." He picked up the phone and then hung up. He didn't want to hear her voice.
"Skillz, baby what's wrong?" Bevin asked as Skillz drove her home.

"Look shorty, nothings wrong. I'm fine baby."

"No you're not! You were being all weird when we were with Brooke and Lucas. Just tell me!" She gave him a sad puppy dog look. Skillz was never any good at keeping things from Bevin.

"Look, I'm gonna tell you but you can't tell anyone!" Bevin smiled.

"I can keep a secret. I mean, no one knows Rachel had a crush on Mouth! Opps! Pretend you didn't hear that." She smiled again.

"Peyton kissed Lucas in the library. The day she got shot. Lucas still has feelings for her." He blurted it all out. He hated keeping things from her.

"What?" Bevin frowned. She looked outside the window. "That boy is TRIPPIN" She shouted. Skillz gave her a small smile. Trippin'


"I want to wear white. Is that just wrong?" Haley asked Nathan.

"No. It's our wedding. You can wear anything you want. Or, not wear anything. Your choice." He smiled.

She gave a small laugh. "I'm going to wear white then." She sighed. "Nathan, this is going to be amazing. I love you so much." She gave him a kiss.


Rachel was waiting at Bevin's house when Skillz dropped her off. "Hey Rach!"

"Hey Bevin, can we talk inside?"

"You two going to go talk about how hot guys from the Rivercourt are?" Skillz teased.

Rachel froze. Skillz knew? She was going to kill Bevin!

"Bye Skillz" Rachel forced Bevin into her own home.

"Rach, I'm so sorry, It sort of just slipped. I didn't mean to tell him, I wanted him to tell me about Peyton kissing Lucas. Oh" She hit her forehead with her hand. "I did it again."

"Peyton kissed Lucas?" Rachel smiled. "Does Brooke know?"

"No."

"You have to tell her." Rachel shouted. Bevin frowned. She wanted to tell Brooke the truth but she would be so hurt by it. "You have to Bevin, she is going to find out one way or another and then, she's going to hate you for knowing and not telling her." Rachel picked up Bevin's phone. "Call her!"


Brooke was walking to Peyton's house. Lucas had left her alone at the mall after Bevin and Skillz left. He said he had something to do.

She heard her cell phone ring. "Hello?"

"Hey Brooke"

"Hey Bev, What's up?"

"I have something to tell you and you are not going to like it." Bevin continued. "Peyton kissed Lucas in the library. The day, well, you know. I'm so sorry Brooke."

Brooke didn't cry, she couldn't. She knew that Lucas and Peyton still had feelings for each other, but to kiss while she was still Lucas' girlfriend? "Thanks Bevin. I have to go okay."

She turned around and headed towards Lucas' house. She had every intention of breaking up with him. As she turned she almost ran into a car that was pulling out.

She hit the car. "Watch it! I'm walking here!" A head popped out from the driver's side.

"Brooke?"

"Jake?" Jake was driving to Whitey's house. He wanted to know if he could still be on the team if he got back in school. He noticed Brooke was upset. "Where are you going? Do you need a ride?"

"I'm going to go dump that cheating jerk Lucas! I can walk." She started walking away.

"Brooke! Get in the car, you're upset! You're just going to get run over!"

"Leave me alone! You are probably a cheater just like your jerk friend!" Jake got out of the car and grabbed a hysterical Brooke.
"Brooke!"

"Why is always Peyton?" She looked at him with tears in her eyes. "Everyone always picks Peyton. Am I really that bad?" Tears started falling. Jake didn't know what to do so he just held her close to him, letting her cry. He felt hurt too. Peyton was with Lucas again? He didn't see that coming. Brooke started to calm down after a while. She wiped away her tears. Her eyes met Jake's and they had a moment. Everything seemed to stop for a second. She looked away. She felt so embarrassed.

"I'm going to go."

"Brooke, you should wait. You're angry."

"If I don't do this now, it's going to be too late. Maybe I can save my friendship with Peyton. I mean, where am I going to live if I don't?" She shook her head. Where would she live?

"Let me drive you?"

"Thanks Jake." He drove her to Lucas' house.

"I'll be outside waiting." Jake said as he let Brooke make her way in through the back door to Lucas' room.

She walked in. She never knocked because Lucas never locked the door. This time, he should of.

Brooke saw Lucas and Peyton on his bed kissing under the covers. Her heart broke.

"This is what you had to do?" She said calmly. "Cheat on me with my so called best friend?" Peyton and Lucas froze.

"Brooke," Peyton started. Brooke walked out of the room. She couldn't believe Peyton had the nerve to try to talk to her after that. She started making her way back to Jake's car.

"Brooke!" Lucas said emerging from his room. He was in his boxers and Peyton was wearing one of his shirts. Jake was surprised to see her there.

"Jake?" Peyton said. He shook his head. How could she do that to Brooke? Her best friend?

Brooke turned to Peyton. "Don't be at the house tomorrow from 11 to 2, I'll be there to get my stuff!"

"Brooke please!"

"Shut up Peyton!" Brooke and Jake got into his car.


Not a lot of Mouth or Naley in this chapter. Sorry. : (

The next chapter will have a flashback of Leyton, sort of as an explanation. Brooke moves out.It's back to scool for all the kids. They have to deal with all of the weekends action.

Preview: There is going to be a lot of drama because Tree Hill is drama all the time. Will Lucas regret picking Peyton over Brooke? If he did would she take him back? What happens when Chris comes back to town? Will Haley ever go back on tour? You have to wait and see!
