Love Rectangle Plus One
Chapter 12: Move On
I don't own anything!
This Chapter is called Move On. The song is by Jet.
'Cause every once in a while
You think about if your gonna get yourself together
You should be happy just to be alive
And just because you just don't feel like comin' home
Don't mean that you'll never arrive

"Thanks Brooke." Jake whispered in her ear.
She kissed him. "No problem." She rested her head on his shoulder. "This was a great date Jake."
He kissed her forehead and they continued to watch the movie until they, like Jenny, fell asleep.
"Hey there Boys and Girls of Tree Hill High! You know what time it is! Tree Hill Formal Time! So grab that special guy or girl and ask them to the dance!" Said an announcer over the intercom.
"Skillz, what do you think I should wear to the formal?" Bevin asked as he walked her to her first class.
"I don't know shorty but you always look beautiful!" He answered.
"Awww, I love you!" She kisses him.
Brooke and Jake were in Spanish class.
"¿Queerría usted ir al baile conmigo?" Jake asked.
"Hold on a sec." Brooke said. She looked up what he said in her book. "Queerria, it would want?" She looked at Jake funny. "It?"
"Ok, maybe my Spanish isn't exactly perfect." Jake smiled. "What about the rest of it?"
"Usted means you. Ir al, means go to. Baile, dance. conmigo, with me." Brooke worked out.
"Yes Brooke, I would love to go to dance with you." Jake smiled. Brooke laughed and then kissed him.
"So, are you planning on going to the dance?" Rachel asked Mouth.
"Only if the girl I like asks me." Mouth replied smiling.
"Hey Baby." Nathan sat next to her in class.
"Hey Nate." She replied. She hoped he wouldn't mention singing.
"So about this formal. You do want to go right?" He asked.
"Yeah Nathan, of course."
"Good, because Whitey told me they needed a singer and I said you would probably love it." He gave her a kiss on the forehead.
"Hey Luke" Peyton said as she sat down.
"Hey Peyton" He replied.
"So who are you going to the dance with?" She teased.
"Well, I was going to ask Brooke." He laughed. Peyton just looked at him.
"That's not funny." She replied.
"Sorry, I was going to ask you Peyt." He said shyly.
"After what you said about 'Asking Brooke'?" She looked really hurt. "GOT YA!" She started laughing.
"Oh, I see, you think you're so funny!"
Bevin and Peyton sat at their normal table at lunch. Brooke and Haley soon joined them.
"Hey there roomie. I missed you last night." Bevin replied as Brooke sat down.
"Wait! You spent the night with Jake?" Haley asked wide-eyed.
Brooke coughed a little. I could murder Bevin, she thought. This couldn't get any worst.
"Oh it's not the first time!" Bevin said.
"What?" Peyton looked at Brooke shocked.
"When she caught you with her man she spent the night at Jake's." Bevin answered.
"Brooke!" Haley said shocked. Peyton bit her lip.
"Okay, I slept with Jake twice, yes, but all we did was sleep, no other stuff." Brooke confessed.
"Right Brooke." Haley said, not believing her at all.
"I can't believe you guys don't believe me!" Brooke said stunned.
"I hope you two used protection, I mean you did, right Brooke?" Bevin asked.
"Peyton, you believe me right?" Brooke asked.
Peyton eyed her. "Yeah, I believe you."
"Thank you!" Brooke said
"When you sleep with a guy you get this funny look on your face. And you don't look very funny right now." Peyton smiled.
"Okay." Brooke frowned. "See, I didn't sleep with him."
"Yeah, keep saying that in nine months." Bevin laughed.
"Hey Jake" Lucas met Jake at his locker.
"Hey Luke."
"So, this is weird." Lucas said.
"Yeah, it is." Jake replied getting a book from his locker.
"I wanna see if we can be friends again Jake. I know I messed things up but," Lucas started.
"Luke, we're okay." Jake replied.
"Okay."
Brooke met Jake at his car. "Hey Babe." Jake said before he kissed her. "How was your day?"
"Better now." She kissed him again.
"Get a Room!" Bevin yelled from her car.
Jake laughed a little, Brooke just shook her head and then went back to kissing Jake.
Haley tried to sing on her way home. For some reason, her voice wasn't her own.
"I never, I, I never prom. OH! Why do I sound like, crap." She lowered her head. I can't do this. I can't sing at the formal. I have to tell Nathan.
"Knock Knock Punkette" Chris Keller appeared at Peyton's door.
"Keller? What are you doing here?" Peyton said angrily. She hated Chris after everything that happened with him and Haley and him and Brooke.
"I'm looking for that lovely girl who designs clothing and has the most awesome body in the world. Where is Brooke?"
"With her boyfriend." Peyton replied.
"Lucas? She got back with that loser?" Chris frowned.
"No. Jake."
"Jake? Isn't he that guy with a baby, the one you had the hots for?" Chris looked at her with amusement. "Wow, trade one for the other. Could have been us Punkie."
"Please, I would never be with you!" She slammed the door in his face.
"What is it with you people and slamming doors in Chris Keller's face!" He said from behind the door.
Brooke was watching The Wiggles with Jenny in the living room. Jake walked in from the kitchen.
"I didn't know you were a Wiggles fan, Brooke." Jake laughed.
"They are better then those Telebuddies." She replied.
"Teletubbies." Jake corrected her.
"Really? That makes no sense." She looked at TV and then back at him again. Jake laughed. He liked spending time with Brooke, and he loved that she and Jenny got along so well. They spent the rest of the afternoon watching movies with Jenny until she fell asleep.
"I'll take her upstairs" Jake said taking his sleeping baby upstairs.
He sat next to Brooke on the couch. They started kissing. "Wait," Brooke pushed him away. "How do we know Jenny is okay upstairs?" She looked at Jake.
He pointed to the baby monitor near the television set. Brooke looked at it and then turned back to Jake. "Oh, okay." She said smiling. He continued to kiss her.
"Nathan," Haley said gaining her strength to tell Nathan she was giving up music for good.
"Yeah?"
"I love you, and..." She started.
"I love you too Haley." He said kissing her. Haley looked at Nathan. She just couldn't tell him.
"I love hanging out with you!" Rachel said to Mouth as they walked to the Rivercourt.
"I love hanging out with you too!" Mouth replied. The wing blew and her red hair scattered covering her face. She managed to pull back all but one strand. He reached over moved it from her face.
Jake stopped kissing Brooke, he pulled away from her, and stood up moving to the bottom of the stairs. This left Brooke, still on the couch, stunned. "Jake, what's wrong?"
Jake looked at the ground. "I don't have condoms." He waited for Brooke to say something, she didn't. "I don't usually need them, I mean it's not like I have girls at my house all the time," He was starting to ramble.
"Jake," Brooke said, stopping him. He managed to look at her. "I'm on the pill."
He moved back to the couch and sat down. He sighed. "Oh, okay." He said, he turned his head to look at her. She smiled at him. She reached out and held his hand. They locked their fingers together and he started kissing her again.
(The Next Day)
Peyton grabbed her Blondie jacket. She made her way down the stairs. "Dad, I'm going to school."
Larry looked at her over his cup of coffee. "Wait a sec Honey." She stopped at the door. "How are you and Brooke?" He eyed her suspiciously.
"Oh, we're good now." Peyton said. She was so happy they were getting along.
"Good. Is she coming back?" Larry asked.
"I don't know, I mean, I haven't asked her." Peyton didn't want to ask Brooke to move back in because she still felt bad for everything with Lucas.
"Well, then could you at least take some of her mail to her?" Larry pointed to a stack of mail near the door.
"Okay, sure Dad." Peyton smiled grabbing the letters.
"Hey there roomie-who-I-never-see! My parents think you moved out!" Bevin said walking over to Brooke. Brooke smiled. "So?" Bevin smiled. "Did you two do any other stuff last night?"
Brooke looked at Bevin and then looked away, she couldn't help but smile.
"OMG! YOU SO DID!" Bevin screamed.
Haley and Peyton walked to them. "What's going on?" Haley asked.
"Brooke and Jake had sex last night!" Bevin answered.
Brooke tried to cover her face with her hand.
"Brooke!" Haley looked at her stunned. Brooke looked at her shyly.
"You did use protection right?" Bevin asked.
"Brooke's on the pill" Haley answered.
"Good!" Bevin said. Brooke looked at Peyton. Peyton just smiled. She put her arm around Brooke's shoulders.
"I'll walk you to class Davis" She smiled.
Brooke and Peyton made their way to Brooke's locker. Peyton was still smiling.
"Don't look at me like that Sawyer!" Brooke said grabbing her Spanish book.
"Like what?" Peyton smiled.
"Like I couldn't control myself!" Brooke frowned. "I could have stopped it. I could have said 'No Jake. I don't want to have sex with you!' but then, I would be a liar!" Brooke closed her locker and sighed. "That boy is just so cute!" She rested her head on her locker.
"Look, I have no right to say anything." Peyton patted Brooke on the back. "I'm glad you and Jake are together Brooke. He makes you happy. That's why I was smiling. You've never been this happy." She smiled again.
Brooke looked at her. "I know." Brooke smiled.
"Hey Nate!" Lucas called to his brother.
"Hey Luke" Nathan answered. "So have you and Brooke learned from each other?"
"No. She's not talking to me. You and Jake?" Lucas asked.
"No. Nothing yet. Although I'm sure this doesn't count but I did know he liked her. Before they officially got together that is." Nathan answered.
"You did?" Lucas asked.
"Yeah, all of us knew. Skillz, Mouth, me, obviously Jake."
"Oh," Lucas replied. He wasn't part of the group anymore.
"Yeah, Brooke having the hots for him back, that I didn't know. She's really into him though. I see them together all the time." Nathan continued. "She looks really happy. I don't think I've ever seen her like that." Nathan turned to look at Lucas who lowered his head. "Oh, umm, I didn't you didn't make her happy. I just meant, well, I just meant she's good with him. It's good you picked Peyton." Nathan patted Luke on the back and then left.
FLASHBACK
Lucas looked at a small peice of paper. It read:
I will try again with Brooke.
END FLASHBACK
Brooke walked into the Spanish room. She saw Jake reading his book. "Hey!" She said smiling.
"Hey!" Jake looked up from the book and gave her a small kiss on the cheek. He looked at a stack of letters in Brooke's hand. "What is that?" He pointed at the letters.
"My mail. Peyton brought it." She said tossing it in her backpack.
"I see, the other roommate." He smiled.
"Yeah" Brooke smiled. "Bevin's parents think I moved out since I'm never over there."
Jake smiled. "Right, because you moved in with me." He reached out and held her hand. "Sadly, my parents are coming back home tonight."
Brooke smiled. "That's where Peyton comes in." Jake looked at her surprised. "Let's face it. You're great Jakie but, I'd rather spend the night with Peyton."
Jake laughed. "Oh, ouch. That hurts."
Brooke smiled. "Yeah, I know." He kissed her again.
"So, what time are you picking me up tonight?" Peyton sat next to Lucas in AP English.
"7?"
"Sure." Peyton smiled.
An announcement came over the intercom. "I'm sorry to announce, the formal this weekend has been cancelled."
"What?" Someone said angrily.
"I repeat, the formal has been cancelled. There have been many parents that have called the school. It is just to early since the shooting. Sorry!"
"That sucks" Peyton said.
