AN: Sorry if this isn't the best.I starting writing it on a writer's block, so hopefully it turned out alright.
Sorry for the wait as well! I'll try to get more updates up over this next week because of it being Spring Break.
Thanks for the reviews!
Love, Katie
The sound of her alarm clock woke Peyton the next morning, and like always, she wanted to murder that thing. She turned over to turn it on snooze, but when she reached for the button, she ended up whacking…Brooke?
"Morning P. Sawyer!"
What is she doing here? Peyton thought. Last time we even talked was when I walked out on her that night at her house. And, wait a minute…Where's Lucas?
Glancing nervously over to the other side of the bed, Peyton noticed the pulled back sheets and no sign of Lucas. Oh, great.
"Hello? Earth to my best friend?" Brooke said, trying to snap Peyton out of whatever she was thinking about. Peyton quickly jerked her head back to Brooke, still only half awake.
"Uh, Brooke? What time is it exactly?" She yawned as she recalled the late night she had the night before. "Think you can give me a little longer to sleep, and then I'll call you?"
Although she played it pretty convincingly, Peyton really just needed to get Brooke out of her room because she had just heard the faucet in her bathroom begin to run.
"It's 11:00, Peyton. And no, I'm not leaving! And you want to know why? Because…" She cut herself off as she heard the shower start up. She glanced to Peyton, then back to the bathroom, to Peyton again, and back. She continued this pattern until it finally clicked in her little brain, and then she exploded.
"I cannot believe you two! I thought you would have learned your lesson the first time you guys broke my heart, but no! You have to go off behind my back AGAIN, and do this…"
"But, Brooke…you aren't even to-"
"Should it even MATTER? Hoes over Bros, remember Peyton? That's why I came over today. All I wanted was to do was surprise you, and go out and spend time with my 'best friend'; but no, I catch her in bed with my ex-boyfriend!"
And with that, Brooke stormed out the doorway of Peyton's bedroom, allowing Peyton no chance to explain herself at all.
They're not even together anymore, Peyton was trying to rationalize everything that just went on. What did she even come here for? She probably wanted to see if Lucas was here…it would make sense; claiming she wants a 'hoes over bros reunion' then assuming Luke and I slept together. She just wanted a reason to get mad, so she'll have a reason to do something else.
Oh crap…a reason to do something else.
"Was that Brooke?" Luke's entry back into her room shook her out of her thought process.
"Uh, yeah, it was." Peyton hesitated to tell him what happened, but she ended up caving in. "She blew up at me. She heard the water from your shower, and she just went off on me, making the assumption we slept together and everything. Oh, and bringing up the last time we 'did this to her.'"
"Did you tell her that her assumption was correct?" Lucas joked, trying to put the situation at ease.
Peyton chucked one of her pillows across the room at him.
"Hey, watch the towel!" He shrieked. "Unless you were aiming…"
She laughed. Somehow Lucas always was capable of calming her down. He knew exactly what to do or say to make her feel better, and that's why she loved him.
"But honestly Luke, do you think she's just going to leave this alone?" Lucas walked over to the bed and sat down right beside Peyton, gently kissing her on her forehead.
"Even if she doesn't, we'll stick together Peyton. It's just the two of us; you and me."
