I don't own anything!

"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.
Jake couldn't sleep. He turned to look at Brooke. She was fast asleep. This is so weird, he thought. He thought about the day they had been through. The early morning hug, the horrible time they all had at the mall, holding her while she cried, seeing Peyton and Lucas together, her reading to Jenny. He had always had a crush on Brooke but he never imagined that she would be sleeping next to him in his bed, especially after Jenny was born. He knew Brooke wasn't exactly the motherly type, why would she ever be interested on some guy with a baby?
Brooke started moving. She turned and curled up close to Jake. Her arm over his chest. Jake took a deep breath.
"Good Night" She said completely asleep. Jake stared at her. Was she dreaming that he was Lucas? He wrapped his arm around her; it felt good to have her in his arms. Go to sleep, he told himself. Just go to sleep.
Peyton had fallen asleep waiting for Brooke to show up so they could talk. She woke up early the next morning to find Brooke's bed empty. She knew Brooke was mad but mad enough to not come home? Where would she spend the night? She called Brooke's cell, it was turned off. She started to worry.
Wait, she's probably with Haley. She called Haley.
"Haley?"
"Peyton? It's 8 in the morning."
"I know but Brooke didn't come home last night is she with you?"
"What? No, she's probably spent the night at Lucas' house"
"No, She caught me with Lucas yesterday, we were making out." Peyton said sheepishly. She didn't want Haley to find out about her indiscretion but how else could she find Brooke?
"What?" Haley screamed, now wide-awake.
"Just tell her to shut up and go to bed" a sleepy Nathan replied some where near Haley.
Peyton heard Haley reply to him. "Brooke is missing."
"She's probably with Lucas."
"No, Peyton made out with Lucas and Brooke saw them."
"What?" Nathan said, no as awake as his wife.
"Ok guys, I get it, BAD. I know. I shouldn't have kissed him but now I don't know what to do. I don't know where she is." Peyton said about to cry.
"I'll call Teresa, you call Bevin. Maybe they know." Haley hung up the phone.
Peyton dialed Bevin's number.
"Hello?" She said in a sleepy voice.
"Who the hell is that? It's 8 in the morning." She heard a voice say somewhere beyond Bevin.
"Is that Brooke? Bevin! Is it Brooke?" Peyton asked.
"Peyton? No, it's Rachel, she spent the night. Peyton, it's 8 in the morning."
"I know, I just. I can't find Brooke." She said defeated.
"Brooke?" Bevin seemed to snap out of her dreamy state. "She called last night. She wanted to spend the night but since Rachel was here she changed her mind. I thought she went to Haley's."
"No, she didn't."
Brooke woke up, still in Jake's arms. She heard car doors close outside and a car pull away. She looked at Jake who was asleep. She gave a small smile.
"Book" She heard from behind her. She turned to see baby Jenny wide awake. She slowly and quietly moved, not wanting to wake Jake. She made her way to Jenny's crib picking the small girl up.
"Hey Jenny" Brooke whispered. Jenny smiled and touched Brooke's hair. Brooke smiled and moved to Jake's window with Jenny in her arms. "I think grandma and grandpa went bye bye."
Jake turned in his bed, starting to wake up. He opened his eyes and noticed Brooke standing in front of his bed holding Jenny. Great, I'm dreaming again, he thought.
"Hey big daddy." Brooke said walking over to the side of his bed and siting next to him.
Jenny moved towards her father and pulled at his nose. "Daddy!" She said. I guess I'm not dreaming.
"Ouch," Jake replied holding his daughter. "Hey Baby." Jenny snuggled against him. "Big Daddy?" He looked at Brooke.
She gave a small laugh. "Where did your parents go?"
"Brunch, with the neighbors." Jake replied.
"I guess it's now or never then."
"Hun?" Jake asked.
"My exit, I'll call Bevin, she can pick me up." Brooke replied looking out to the hallway. Jake looked down. He didn't want her to go.
"Right, I can drive you if you want."
She looked at him and smiled. "Thanks Jake." They looked at each other for a moment. She saw something. She didn't know what it was but something was there. "Um, I'm just going to call her, see if she's up." Brooke replied grabbing her phone and walking towards the stairs leaving Jake with baby Jenny in his room.
"Like Book." Jenny said quietly. "Like Book, me"
"You like Brooke?" Jake smiled as Jenny nodded. "So do I." He said.
Brooke turned on her phone; she had missed 4 calls. She didn't check them she just dialed Bevin's number.
"Brooke!" Bevin screamed.
"What's up Bev?" Brooke replied.
"Where the hell have you been Missy? You have us all going crazy looking for you!"
"What?" Brooke said confused.
"I thought you went to Haley's!"
"No."
"Well, where the hell are you?"
Brooke paused. "Jake's" She said in almost a whisper.
"WHAT?"
"Jake's" She said a little louder.
"I heard you the first time! What are you doing at Jake's? OMG! Did you spend the night there? DID YOU...SLEEP WITH HIM?"
"Bevin! I didn't 'sleep with him' but I kinda did."
"Hun?"
"I slept over at his house but we didn't DO anything."
"Good. Because you can't cheer if you're pregnant!" Bevin replied loudly.
"Is Rachel still there?"
"No, she left. Are you coming over?"
"Yeah, Jake's taking me."
"As long as he's not 'taking' you anywhere else!"
"Bevin!"
"What? I mean, Jake is a hottie and am I actually supposed to believe that you two didn't take playing house a little further than just playing with Jenny?"
"I'll be at your house in a few."
"Ok."
Brooke shook her head as she closed her cell phone. Bevin is crazy.
"She awake?" Jake asked coming down the stairs.
"What? Oh yeah. She is." Brooke was a little flustered. She looked at Jake.
"Ready?" He asked.
"Yeah" The ride from Jake's house to Bevin's house was quiet. The only sounds came from Jenny in the back seat. Jake thought about Brooke, he was so close to maybe having something more with her. Now he was dropping her off and it would be like it all never happened. She would go back to being Brooke Davis, and he would go back to being that other guy. They reached Bevin' house. Brooke said good bye to Jenny and Jake walked Brooke to Bevin's door.
"Thanks Jake." She smiled.
"No problem." He replied. "Brooke..." He started just as Bevin opened the door.
"Hey there!" She smiled. "Aren't you two the cutest!" Brooke shot Bevin a cold stare. Jake looked at her confused. He wanted to tell Brooke that he thought he might have feelings for her but he couldn't, not with Bevin there. Brooke moved in towards the house.
"Bye Jake." She said.
"Bye." He turned and got back in his car.
"So! Tell me everything!" Bevin said as she and Brooke walked to her room. "Is he a good kisser? He looks like a good kisser!"
"I didn't kiss him!"
"So you two just did IT? No kissing?"
"I told you! We didn't DO anything!"
"And I told you, I didn't believe you! Spill!" Brooke walked to Bevin's bed and sat down. She started to thinking about Jake. "OMG!"
"What?" Brooke asked.
"You are falling for that boy!"
"I am not!"
"YEAH YOU ARE! Look at your face, you've got this dreamy look all over it! Brooke! You are so falling for Teen Dad!" Bevin screamed. Brooke looked at Bevin. Of course she wasn't. Right?
Peyton drove around town. She felt like an idiot, looking for Brooke as if she was a lost puppy. He cell phone rang.
"Brooke?" She answered.
"No, it's Lucas."
"Oh, hey." She felt bad for not answering Lucas' call last night. "I can't find Brooke, she didn't come home, have you seen her?"
"What? Brooke's missing?"
"Hello?" Haley answered frantically.
"Hey Haley."
"BROOKE? DON'T YOU HEY HALEY ME! WHERE THE HELL HAVE YOU BEEN?"
"Woah, okay sorry Mom, I've been...around." She wanted to avoid telling anyone she spent the night at Jake's.
"AROUND?" Haley took a deep breath. "Brooke, you can't do this kind of thing. We were all worried about you! Where are you right now?"
"I'm at Bevin's, I'm going to stay here until I find my own place."
"Where were you last night? Peyton was so worried"
"Peyton? I see her guilt sunk in."
"Look Tigger, I heard, what she did, what they did. I'm sorry. But really, where were you? Why didn't you come to the apartment?"
"I didn't want to interrupt Mr. and Mrs. Tutorwife." Brooke joked.
"You scared me B."
"Haley?" The truth was, she wanted to ask Haley how she knew Nathan was, the one.
"Yeah?"
"Nevermind. I'll see you at school tomorrow, ok?"
"Okay. I'm glad you're okay Trigger."
"Bye HaleyJ."
"Bye." Haley hung up. Brooke was fine. Nathan walked in.
"I'm ready, we can go look around for her now."
"Brooke just called."
"Where is she?"
"She's at Bevin's." She grabbed the phone to call Peyton. She should know Brooke was okay.
"Didn't Peyton call Bevin? I thought Bevin said Brooke wasn't there?"
"She wasn't. But she is now."
"Well, then who was she with last night?"
"I have no idea." She dialed Peyton's number.
"Busy" She sighed.
"I don't know what to do Lucas." Peyton sighed.
"Where are you? I'll help you look for her."
"NO!" Peyton said loudly. "Lucas, you and me, it always ends up with Brooke hurting. I can't stand it. I can't hurt her anymore. Lucas, she's my family."
"Peyton,"
"Look, just stay away from me Luke." She hung up the phone. It was hard, she loved Lucas but she loved Brooke more.
Bevin was in her room singing and dancing to My Humps. "What you gonna do with all that junk, all that junk inside yo trunk, I ma get get get get you drunk, Hey!" Brooke turned off the music.
"Okay Bevin." Brooke sat on the bed. "Is it that bad?"
"Is what bad? Your crush on Papa Dearest?" Brooke eyed Bevin.
"Is it?"
"Wait, so you really do have a thing for him? I was just teasing! OMG! YOU LIKE JAKE!" Bevin looked at Brooke with a shocked expression on her face. "THIS IS AWSOME!" Bevin squealed She grabbed Brooke's hands and started jumping up and down. "You are going to be SO HAPPY! Like me and Skillz! OH! We can have a double wedding!"
"Bevin! Bevin! I didn't say I wanted to marry Jake! I just said maybe, well, maybe I do like him a little. He's cute and I love Jenny, he's such a great dad to her. I just, I don't know, it's weird isn't it?"
"Why? Because you'd be Jenny's mommy?" Brooke's eyes widened, Mommy? "Or because he has a history of getting girls pregnant?" Brooke bit her lip. "Or because he dated Peyton?"
"Oh no, I can't have a thing for Jake!" Brooke stood up. "It's just too much! No!"
"Brooke! You already do!"
"Shut up Bevin! Just pretend you didn't hear that! I don't have a thing for Jake!"
"You SO have a thing for Jake."
Brooke fell onto Bevin's bed. "I SO have a thing for Jake."
Bevin gave a loud SQUEE, turned the music back on and continued dancing.
Jake made his way to Whitey's door.
"Jagielski! Nice to see you! And you brought the little one!" Whitey patted Jenny's head. "How are you little girly?" Jenny giggled.
"Hey Coach, I wanted to know if you could..."
"Help you get back in school? And back on the team?" Whitey smiled taking little Jenny in his own arms.
"Yeah, how did you..."
"Know? Because you got this little angel back, of course you would want the rest of your life back." Whitey smiled as Jake sat down on the chair next to the door. "Eventful weekend Jagielski?"
"Yeah, You don't want to know."
Whitey laughed. "Did you go see that cheerleader of yours?"
"Yeah, and she's not mine anymore."
"I'm sorry Jake."
"I'm not. Is that bad?" Jake felt a little guilty about not being as heart broken over Peyton and Lucas as Brooke was.
"No, it's not. People grow apart. When you find that special girl Jake, you'll know. You'll get this feeling, this spark; it's something you only feel once in your life. I felt it for my Camilla." Jake thought back to that morning with Brooke, in his room, before she called Bevin, could that have been the spark Whitey was talking about?
"Thanks Coach, for everything."
"No problem Jagielski, look, I'll put in a good word or two, then keep your grades up and you can be on the team." Jake smiled at Whitey. "And take good care of this little one." He tickled Jenny as she laughed.
"Hello? Haley? Have you heard anything?" Peyton said.
"Yeah, Brooke is at Bevin's."
"But Bevin said."
"Yeah, I know, I have to go Peyt." Haley didn't want to be rude but Peyton and Lucas weren't very high on her list after what they did to Brooke.
"Haley, if I could take it back I would."
"Then take back Peyton." Haley hung up.
Peyton drove by Bevin's house; she had every intention of going to ask Brooke for an apology. She looked in the top left window. Bevin's room. Bevin and Brooke were laughing. Peyton drove back home. She had no right to ask for forgiveness, she had to work for it. By any means necessary.
"So what do you think about a double wedding?" Bevin said in mid jump. Brooke laughed. Bevin was a great friend.
"Wait! What time is it? I have to go get my stuff from Peyton's."
"Brooke!"
"What?"
She was going to beg Brooke not to move her things out of Peyton's house. There was always hope that they would be friends again. "I'll call Skillz. He can help us."
Brooke, Bevin and Skillz arrived at Peyton's house. There was a note on the door.
Brooke, I'm sorry. You can't move out. Peyton.
Brooke grabbed the note and crumbled it up, throwing it on the floor. She reached for the doorknob. Locked.
"That little..."
I hope you all liked this chapter! I enjoyed writing it:)
The next chapter will be about what Peyton is willing to do to get Brooke to be her friend again. It's takes place on Monday so they have school. There will be many confrontations. In the next few chapters secrets will be revealed. Be sure to R&R!
