There is a lot of Bake in this chapter. :) Some Leyton as well.

Just so you all know, this story will probably be long, I'm writing out the rest of their senior year. This story will end with their graduation. I'm actually writing seperate stories about their college years mostly based on their relationships. And then a reunion type story so we see what happened after college. Enjoy! R&R!

I don't own anything!

"World Spins Madly On" is a song by The Weepies. I love it it's great. :)

Previously on OTH-LRP1

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.

FLASHBACK

"Hey Goldilocks" Lucas said shyly walking into Peyton's room.

"Lucas? You really shouldn't be here." Peyton walked to him. She wanted him there more than anything but hurting her best friend again was something she never wanted to do.

"I know" Lucas inturupted.

"If Brooke comes home," Peyton started. "I can't lose her again Luke."

"Can we go somewhere else? Just to talk. I need to talk. I need to talk about Keith, my mom won't talk to me, Peyt." He honestly just wanted to talk to her about Keith. Peyton had been there, losing a parent.

Peyton hesitated but she felt bad for Lucas so she agreed. "The Rivercourt." She grabbed Ellie's old jacket.

They made their way to the Rivercourt. They sat on the bench. "I don't want to hurt her Luke. Not again."

"Neither do I"

"I'm sorry about Keith, I know this sucks."

"Yeah" Lucas started to break up. "He was like my dad. He was my dad. He loved me and my mom so much. If I wouldn't have gone in, maybe he would have lived. I know it's horrible, because if I didn't go in who knows what would have happened with you. But Peyton, why did he have to die? Keith never hurt anyone." Tears fell from his eyes. Peyton moved into hug him.

"You have a thing for saving people Lucas, but you couldn't save Keith.It's not your fault."

"Yeah it is. My mom even blames me Peyt! She think's it's my fault. I lost my mom and my dad. And I almost lost you!"

"Your mom is hurting. This wasn't your fault. Lucas, you didn't lose me, you saved me." She leaned in and kissed him. She knew it was selfish but she couldn't hold back what she felt anymore.

They moved away breaking the kiss.

"You just kissed me."

"I know." Peyton looked away.

"I kissed you back"

"I know" She said as she looked at him.

"I'll break up with Brooke. I love you Peyton."

"I love you too."

END FLASHBACK

Brooke sat quietly in the passenger's seat of Jake's car as they drove away from Lucas' house. It was already getting dark outside.

"Oh no! Where am I going to live?" Brooke said sadly. "I can't go back to my old apartment. It's Haley and Nathan's." Jake looked at her sympathetically. He didn't know where she could go, but he knew for sure she couldn't stay with him. How would that look?

She turned to face him. "Wait! I'm a genius!" She smiled. Jake took a deep breath.

"I'm really sorry Brooke but you can't stay at my house."

"Your house?" She looked at Jake confused. "I meant Bevin's house. Of course I can't stay at your house! Now how would that look?" She looked out of the window. Why would he think she wanted to go to his house? Sure, Jake was really cute and all but it would seem really strange if she stayed over at his house.

She turned to look at him again. He seemed either very nervous or very uncomfortable, probably both. But why would he be nervous?

Brooke took out her cell phone. "Bevin? It's Brooke, look, can I spend the night at your house."

Jake took another deep breathe. I'm such an idiot, he thought.

"Thank you Bev, what? Rachel?" She paused. "No nevermind. Thanks Bev. Yeah, it's all fine!" Brooke gave a fake smile. "Bye!"

"I can't stay at Bevin's" she informed Jake. "Rachel, is spending the night and I am not staying in the same house as that hoe."

"Who is Rachel?" Jake asked.

"Another slut my cheating ex was with" Brooke hated Rachel more than anyone but now, she had added Peyton and Lucas to the list of people she hated.

"So, where are you going to stay now?" Jake asked.

Brooke turned to look at Jake and smiled.

Jake had a feeling she was going to ask if she could spend the night at his house but seeing her reaction from before, he decided not to jump to conclusions.

"Jake?"

"What?"

"Do you think it would be okay if I stayed at your house?" She gave him sad puppy dog eyes. Similar to the ones Bevin had given Skillz.

Jake looked at her and then the road. "No."

"Oh! But Jake! I'm going to have to sleep in my car and I get scared!"

"Brooke, you said it yourself, it would look weird."

"I know but I thought I was going to sleep at Bevin's not my car! Jake please!"

"My parents would freak! I just got into town and I'm already bringing a girl over to sleep?"

"They don't have to know! You could hide me!" Her eyes widened. "Please Jake! Don't make me sleep in my car!"

Jake looked at Brooke. "Fine. I'll sneak you in but only for tonight! You have to sleep at Bevin's or Haley's tomorrow."

"Yes! Thank you so much Jake!" Brooke smiled.

Jake drove to his house. He hoped that his parents wouldn't notice Brooke. They walked to Jake's front door. "Okay. My parents are probably eatting dinner with Jenny."

"Oh! Dinner! I haven't eatten since that stupid muffin! Who would have known today was trade a muffin for your bed day!"

Jake sighed. "Look, my room is up the stairs, and down the hallway. You can't miss it. It's the one with the crib. I'll check to see if my parents are eatting and then you can sneak in and go upstairs. Hide in my room and I'll bring you some food okay?"

"Oh thank you Jake!" She gave him a big hug.

Jake wished she would stop hugging him. It just confused him more and more. She let go and he walked to the door.

"Mom? Dad?

"In the dinning room" Jake's mother replied.

"I'll be right there." He pulled Brooke into the house. "Okay, upstairs down the hallway!" He whispered. Brooke nodded and made her way upstairs quietly.

Peyton arrived at her house. She had hoped Brooke would be there so they could talk. She didn't want Brooke to move out. When she saw that Brooke wasn't there she sighed. Her phone rang. It was Lucas. She didn't pick up. She dragged herself to her bed and disappeared into her covers. Maybe it was just a dream. A horrible scary nightmare.
Brooke examined Jake's room. She looked at Jenny's crib. Her toys scattered throughout his room. She saw a picture of him holding Jenny when she was just born. She looked at the picture, for some reason it made her feel good. Jake was a great guy she thought.

She heard footsteps coming towards the room. Her heart started racing. She dropped to the floor.

She heard small giggles coming from the door. "We already saw you" Jake said from the door holding Jenny in one arm and a plate of food in his free hand.

"Oh!" Brooke said appearing from behind Jake's bed. "I don't have to whisper?" She asked.

"No, my parent's room is down stairs." Jenny giggled again.

Brooke walked up to them. "Hi Jenny!" Jenny smiled shyly.

Jake smiled at Brooke and then at Jenny. "Jenny saw Hi to Brooke, baby."

"Hi Book" Jenny said trying to disappear behind Jake's arm.

Brooke smiled. "She is so big" She softly touched Jenny's hair.

Jenny turned and and looked at Jake. "See, I no baby. I big." Brooke and Jake smiled at each other. Jenny turned to Brooke. She reached out and touched Brooke's face. "Pretty."

Brooke blushed a little. "Pretty Book" Jenny repeated.

"Thank you Jenny, your pretty too" Jenny's arms wrapped around Brooke motioning that she wanted Brooke to hold her.

Jake transfered his daugher into Brooke's arms. She had never been very close to kids. But this little girl was growing on her.

"I feel really bad." Bevin said to Rachel.

"Why?"

"Because Brooke wanted to spend the night but since your spending the night she doesn't want to anymore. I wish you two would try to get along."

"Brooke wanted to sleep here? Why? Doesn't she live with Peyton?"

"Well, I guess they fought over Lucas"

Rachel gave a smile as Bevin turned away. If Rachel wasn't happy, Brooke wouldn't be either.

Brooke placed Jenny on Jake's bed.

"Jake?" His mother called from the hallway. Brooke took a deep breathe she was just about to drop to the floor again when Jake took her hand and motioned towards the closet. She jumped in and he closed the door just as Jake's mother walked into the room.

"Jake, did you talk to that coach of yours?"

"Umm, no, I didn't get a chance, he wasn't home."

"Okay well remember to go tomorrow, okay?"

"Yes ma'am." She was about to leave when she heard Jenny.

"Book! Book! Book!"

Mrs. Jagieleski turned to Jake. "You should read to her."

Jake looked confused. "What?" He didn't what his mom to know Brooke was in the closet.

"Book, she wants you to read a book to her." She looked at him suspiciously. "Good night Jenny." She gave her grand daughted a kiss on the forehead as the little girl continued chanting "Book, Book, Book."

"Jake, honey, you as pale as a ghost. You should get some sleep. Good Night."

"Good Night mom." Jake made sure she was down the stairs and then he opend the closet door for Brooke.

She looked at Jake. "You know, you do look kind of pale"

Lucas looked at the clock, it was late. He felt really bad about what happened with Brooke.

FLASHBACK

"Shut up Peyton" Brooke said as she and Jake got into his car and drove off.

Peyton turned to him. "She is never going to forgive me!" Lucas felt really guilty. He shouldn't have visited Peyton.

"What am I going to do? Lucas?" Peyton was frustrated.

"I don't know."

"I'm going home."

"Just give her sometime Peyton."

END FLASHBACK.

How could he have done that again? Hurt Brooke? No matter how much he did love Peyton.

Jake grabbed a pillow and an extra blanket putting them on the floor. "You can sleep on the bed and I'll sleep on the floor."

Jenny had already fallen asleep after Brooke had read her a book. (Heehee)

"You're kidding right? I don't hog the covers I promise."

"Brooke." Jake protested. This was too much, she was already staying in his house, he couldn't sleep in the same bed with her. He couldn't sleep in the same bed as Brooke Davis.

"Jake, stop being childish and get in the bed. I promise I won't try to make out with you." She said getting under the covers.

Jake got in the bed mostly because if he didn't Brooke would continue to argue with him. But there was also part of him that dreamed about spending the night with Brooke Davis.

HeeHee :)

I hope you all liked this chapter. It was longer than my other chapters :)

Also, Peyton and Brooke will become friends again, at some point and it will be soonish. No school stuff yet, I changed my mind, maybe in the next chapter.

Again, no Naley, if anyone has any ideas for what I can do with them let me know. I'm not going to writetheir 2nd wedding just yet.
