After eating, the gang decided to take Brooke to Rivercourt to hang out. When they got to Rivercourt, everyone, except Brooke was surprised to see Nikki there with two guys.

"So, which one his he?" one of the guys asked, and Nikki pointed to Jake. Nikki never saw Brooke, who was at the back, so Nikki was happy. The two guys with Nikki started walking towards Jake.

"DO NOT LAY A FINGER ON HIM," Brooke yelled, making her presence known.

"Brooke," both of the guys asked, as the both stopped dead in their tracks, and Brooke nodded.

"Hey Chase," Brooke said, and then turned to the other guy, "Hey Jason."

"Hey Brooke," Jason said, lowly. Brooke then turned to Nikki.

"I thought I told you to leave. Oh, ya know it's not smart to get these boys to come do your dirty work," she yelled, harshly, which shocked the others. As they watched, everyone saw Nikki go pale, as Brooke's eyes showed anger.

"Chase, Jason you guys need to leave," Brooke said, sternly. "Brooke, don't do this," Chase said, hoping Brooke would stop.

"She said leave," Lucas said, stepping in front of Brooke, like he was protecting her.

"She doesn't need you to fight for her," Chase said stepping up in Lucas face. Lucas stepped closer to Chase ready to fight.

"Both of you stop. Chase I said leave, I'll call you later. AND you, Luke, I don't need you fighting for me. They are friends of mine, so just back off please," Brooke yelled frustrated. Lucas backed off, pissed that Brooke was yelling at him.

"Brooke, please just don't do anything stupid," Jason finally spoke up.

"Well, you see, that's not me," Brooke said, and then pointed to Nikki, "she does all the stupid things. Now please leave."

"Okay, Brooke, we're going," Chase said, giving Brooke a hug, and leaving with Jason in tow.

"Um, hello, I'm paying you guys, so you better get back here," Nikki yelled, but Chase and Jason kept on walking.

"Paying with what," Brooke asked sharply.

"Well, ya know since my parents died, I've come into a little bit of money," Nikki said smiling.

"Like hell, you did. Believe me MY parents wanted nothing to do with you," Brooke yelled, "by the way, who told you they left you money?"

"Well, um…I just figured…um," Nikki stuttered, not liking where this was going.

"Well, guess what, YOU'RE WRONG," Brooke said.

"You little bitch, this is all you fault," Nikki yelled, swinging her arm towards Brooke's face. Luckily, Brooke was prepared and caught Nikki's arm, and gripping it tightly.

"No…No it's yours. Look, what they did was wrong. But you, what you did was worse. I mean I thought you always wanted better for your children, then what we had. But abandoning her was wrong. You fucked up. Not me. But you know, you not only left Jenny, you left me. I had no one. The only person who really loved me was Aunt Karen, but she didn't live with me," Brooke yelled and whispered, tears running down her face.

"I did, Brookie, I mean I do. I want Jenny to have a good life. No a great life…better than what we had. Parents who actually cared and loved them," Nikki said, going over and pulling Brooke into a hug.

"If you really want her to be happy and live a better life then you need to leave. One day if Jenny wants to find you, she can, but now I think it would be best if you just left," Brooke whispered to Nikki. Nikki nodded, and let go of Brooke and started walking towards her car.

"Nikki, hold up," Brooke said, as she went over to Nikki, "take this." Brooke tried to hand Nikki some money.

"Brookie, no," Nikki said refusing the money.

"Please Nikki, just take it," Brooke said. Finally Nikki gave in and took the money.

"Thank you…and I'm sorry, I never meant to hurt you," Nikki said, as they hugged, both with tears in their eyes. Finally, Nikki walked away and walked to her car and left. The gang was still trying to figure out what had happened. All of them were staring at the direction of which Nikki had just left. Lucas finally looked over at Brooke. Brooke was sitting down, looking in the same direction he had been looking, tears streaming down her face. Lucas slowly walked towards Brooke and sat down beside her and put his arms around her. Brooke looked over at him and smiled slightly, but when Brooke then looked up and saw a fuming Peyton standing in front of her, with her hands on her hips.
