"Haley tutor James girl Scott! Get your tired ass out her right now!" Brooke yelled from the living room of their apartment on Monday morning.
"Whoa." Haley said looking at Brooke apprehensively when she slowly walked into the living room. "Did you wake up on the wrong side of your king sized bed this morning?" Haley asked her putting on a fake smile because Haley just had a twin-sized bed.
"Lay off it Haley." Brooke said "I just wanted you to get out here so we wouldn't be late." Brooke said.
"Brooke, since when have you been worried about being late to school?" Haley asked her putting on her jacket.
"Since I've felt like worrying about it so I don't have to worry about other things… or people." Brooke said.
"Ah" Haley said finally getting it "Peyton been in your thoughts lately?" Haley asked Brooke.
"And my dreams and subconscious movies I make in my head when I get really bored." Brooke said.
"You have to talk to her today." Haley said.
"No duh suddenly not so smart tutor girl." Brooke said.
"Ok, alright. Your right we definitely need to get to school." Haley said grabbing her bag and heading towards the door.
The two girls walked outside and ran into the one and only Travis.
"Hot walk girl, and I'm assuming the very mysterious roommate?" was what Travis opened with for the day.
"Oh I've heard a lot about you" Haley said rolling her eyes.
"Really?" Travis said smiling and Brooke immediately knew that Travis would twist Haley's words into something they weren't. "I knew you had a thing for me." He said putting his hand on Brooke's shoulder which she quickly turned away from.
"She's heard a lot of bad things about you, not good. Don't jump to conclusions." Brooke said.
"Any talk is good Brooke, and you know it. If you really didn't care you wouldn't talk about me at all." Travis said.
"You're weird." Haley said a little randomly.
"Oh thanks." Travis said not showing a hint of offense. "You're pretty." He added.
"That's nice." Haley said smiling at him fakely.
"Look we really need to get to class." Brooke said grabbing Haley's hand and pushing them past Travis.
"Oh right, because you're in high school." Travis said turning to them.
"And how old are you?" Brooke asked him sensing an arrogant attitude from him.
"21." He answered.
"Hmm, that's weird you act like a horny 13 year old." Brooke said.
"How many thirteen year olds do you know that wanna have sex?" He asked her.
"Are you kidding me?..."
Haley cut Brooke off "Brooke, don't let him get to you we need to go now." Haley said.
"Right, you're absolutely right. Let's go." Brooke said wincing at Travis before clicking her heels down the stairs.
Peyton was sitting in the courtyard on one of the stone benches drawing yet again. She felt a tap on her shoulder and upon looking she saw that it was Lucas. This caused her to jump slightly but she quickly stood up.
"Have you seen Brooke?" Lucas asked Peyton.
"No sorry." Peyton said and then she looked away and started to walk the other way.
"Hey, Peyton wait up." Lucas yelled after her but she was already halfway inside the school. Lucas sighed as he watched her disappear.
"You can leave her to me." Brooke said standing a few feet behind Lucas, which startled him a little when he heard her speak.
"You're really going to talk to her today?" he asked Brooke stepping towards her, so they weren't at an awkward distance away from each other.
"Is three days really such a long time to wait? I mean she did tell me something pretty intense. I had to process everything." Brooke said.
"By watching The Notebook and walking around in a parking lot?" He asked her.
"You are never going to let that pavement walking go are you?" She asked him.
"You're changing the subject, but for the sake of things no I'm not." He said wrapping his arms loosely around Brooke.
"I really am going to talk to her today, I promise." Brooke said looking up innocently at Lucas.
"Good. I want you to work things out with her." Lucas responded.
"There's really nothing to work out, I mean as long as I can get her to be happy not having you than everything will be fine." Brooke said.
"That could be very hard to do, I mean I am irresistible." Lucas said smiling cockily.
"Whoa, you're turning into Travis." Brooke said pushing Lucas away from her.
"Travis, the guy who lives two apartments away from you Travis?" He asked her.
"No the Travis that lives in Spain." Brooke said sarcastically "yes that Travis."
"Someone woke up on the wrong side of the bed this morning." Lucas said.
"Dude Haley said that to me today too. This is weird am I really that mean today?" Brooke asked him.
"Just a little, um impatient." Lucas said.
"Maybe I should wait till I wake up on the right side of the bed to talk to Peyton then." Brooke said, happy that she found a possible way to get herself out of "the talk".
"You can't avoid Peyton forever." Lucas said.
"Oh of course not, but I can until the end of senior year." Brooke smiled.
"You said there wouldn't be any problems as long as Peyton can move on." Lucas said.
"Yeah well as much as I hate to admit it right now you are kind of irresistible, so that could be hard to do." Brooke said giving Lucas a smug look.
"Oh I knew it!" Lucas said smiling happily "I really am." He said pulling Brooke towards him "you see how you just gravitate towards me?" He asked her.
"You pulled me." Brooke said.
"Believe what you will" He said and then kissed Brooke "that was all you." He said when they finished.
"Shut up." Brooke said trying to hide her smile.
"Fine you can go talk to Peyton then." He said.
Brooke paused to think about this for a few dramatic moments.
"Or we could kiss a little more." She said.
"Irresistible." Lucas muttered smiling.
"Shut up and come here." Brooke said waiting for Lucas's lips to press against hers again.
Haley caught up with Nathan after she had left Brooke.
"Hi there." She said happily to Nathan placing her hands on his shoulders from behind.
"Hey." He said wheeling around so he could see her and placing a sweet kiss on her lips.
"Oh um, by the way thank you oh so much for leaving me and Brooke to clean our whole apartment up last night." Haley said.
"You know it is your apartment." He said.
"Yeah and my husband is supposed to be a gentleman and help me with the chores." Haley said.
"Speaking of chores and apartments, when are we going to move into together?" Nathan asked her.
"Hmm…" Haley took a seat at the nearest picnic table. "I don't know I haven't really thought about it."
"Really?" He asked her.
"Ok I'm lying." She admitted "I've been thinking about it every time I hear Brooke shout another thing for me to do. I think 'when am I moving in with my husband again?'" Haley said.
"We would have to find some place new." Nathan said.
"Or we could just kick Brooke out." Haley said smiling half-heartedly at Nathan.
"Yeah but, I mean maybe it would be better for us to find some place new to make new memories in." Nathan said.
"You don't like our old ones?" Haley asked him raising her eyebrows.
"Haley, it's not like that." Nathan said on a more serious tone. "I miss a lot of the stuff we had at that apartment, but you know other stuff we need to move on from."
"Other stuff, like when we fought and when I left." Haley mumbled.
"Well, I mean obviously yeah but Haley I'm trying to move on and I really think we just need to find a new place, plus Brooke seems pretty attached to that wall paper." Nathan said trying to lighten the tone a bit.
"Your right." Haley said bumping out of her reflective state and becoming all smiles again. She took Nathan's hands into hers. "I say you and me go apartment shopping this weekend." Haley said.
"Sounds great." Nathan replied.
"Good." Haley leaned in and kissed Nathan shortly "but I have to break the news to Brooke first."
"I doubt she'll be too upset." Nathan said.
Haley laughed "yeah, all that private space for her and Lucas, what more could she want?"
"Peyton, wait up please." Brooke said calling after Peyton who was speed walking through the courtyard at lunch.
Peyton kept staring straight ahead, trying to ignore Brooke's loud calls.
"Peyton!" Brooke said finally catching up to her and touching her shoulder to get her to stop.
"What Brooke?" Peyton asked her.
"Are you mad at me, because that doesn't really make any sense." Brooke said.
"No Brooke, I'm not mad at you at all." Peyton said "I'm just surprised you're even talking to me." Peyton said.
"Well, of course I'm talking to you." Brooke said.
"But I said that I still love Lucas." Peyton said looking bewildered.
"At least you're not lying." Brooke said.
"But I said I love him." Peyton repeated.
"I know, I was there." Brooke said and Peyton looked down at the ground "no, Peyton look I know this is complicated and you think it's weird that I'm talking to you but I'm not letting this come between us." Brooke said "I mean it's not like you would do anything about your feelings." Brooke said, waiting see what reaction she got out of Peyton. She did trust her, but still there were gray areas in that trust.
"No, um of course, not. I mean nn no" Peyton stuttered.
"Peyton I really am fine with this as long as you weren't planning on going after Lucas or anything." Brooke said.
"Right, well thanks I have to go." Peyton said and turned away but Brooke stepped in front of her.
"Peyton, tell me the truth." Brooke said.
"I don't know what you're talking about." Peyton replied.
"Yes you do. Peyton you wouldn't have gone after Lucas behind my back again would you have?" Brooke asked her, a very worried look spread across her face.
"No… I don't know Brooke." Peyton said, trying to squirm away from this conversation.
"Peyton…" Brooke said quietly.
"Truthfully Brooke Lucas is the only guy I've ever truly loved." Peyton said.
"No, no! What about Jake?" Brooke asked her not wanting to believe any of this.
"I loved him but not as much as Lucas, this will be hard for you to hear but I had something so special with Lucas I don't believe anyone could have something like we had and I want that again. So if the situation came around I would be with Lucas." Peyton said, not realizing that she had gotten so into her rant that she had actually admitted she would go out with Lucas behind Brooke's back.
Brooke felt the wind being knocked out of her "oh my god." She said breathlessly.
"Brooke, please I would never do it to hurt you, I didn't mean that." Peyton said.
"But you said it. I forgave you once but I can't do it again. I have to go." Brooke said turning sharply and walking away from Peyton.
So many emotions were running through Brooke's head as she walked into the school hallway and towards her locker, and Madison was so not the girl to be in her way right now.
"Hey Brooke! Guess what?" Madison said sounding all gossipy and running up to Brooke.
"I'm really not in the mood." Brooke said trying to walk by but Madison blocked her.
"Oh but you will be. This weekend Tim and I totally hooked up." Madison said.
"Don't hurt Tim Madison or I swear to god…" Brooke said and Madison cut her off.
"Or what Brooke? You have a little crush on Tim?" Madison asked her and then Brooke took a breath in and slapped Madison across the face, hard.
"That is what I will do except ten times harder, and just for the record I don't have a crush on Tim, but he's my friend and I treat him well. And just in case you didn't know, you're so much more of a bitch then me." Brooke said.
Madison had been taking all this in with a smile on her face, apart from the stinging on her face.
"Why the hell are you smiling?" Brooke asked her.
"Miss Davis." A voice said from behind.
Brooke let out a sigh. "Would you like to join me to take a little walk to the principal's office?" Her history teacher Mr. Martin asked her.
Brooke didn't say anything she just nodded her head and started to follow after Mr. Martin.
"You can come to Madison, I'm sure the principal will want to hear from you about the details." Mr. Martin said.
"No problem." Madison said smiling and clicking her four inch heels after the two of them.
Brooke and Madison were sitting side by side in the principal's office.
"Now, Madison, if you could just tell me exactly what went on." Principal Tuner said.
"Well I was just walking down the hall and I saw Brooke, and you know the two of us haven't really gotten along that well in the past but I thought I might give it a try just to talk to her." At this point in Madison's conversation Brooke rolled her eyes and sighed shifting her weight so she didn't have to look at Madison.
"Is there a problem Brooke?" Principal Turner asked her.
"No, everything's just great, keep going Madison." Brooke said sarcastically.
"alright, so I started talking to her and I mentioned that I'm dating this guy who I think she has a little crush on even though she's dating someone el…"
"Whoa, wait a second, that's not true at all I don't have a crush on Tim Madison." Brooke said sitting forward in her chair.
"You're dating Tim?" The principal asked Madison.
"Yeah." She said looking at him confused.
"Oh, um right well anyway." The principal said shaking that weird thought out of his mind "just get to the end of the story." He said.
"She's lying sir, you know, like, what she's saying isn't true." Brooke said.
"I'm aware of the meaning of the word lie." Principal Turner said.
"Basically, Principal Turner she just slapped me out of no where." Madison said "I mean I was really trying to be nice."
"Shut up, this is ridiculous." Brooke said starting ramble and overlapping with Madison saying "I just wanted to be friends, and she just slapped me." Madison was putting on a pretty good fake cry.
"Oh my god, you are such a liar." Brooke said.
"Girls!" The principal yelled from all the noise in the room "Brooke, I'm going to assign you with detention for the next to Saturdays and Madison I would like you to attend the first on of those." He said.
"But I didn't do anything." Madison said flabbergasted.
"Just trust me, you need to go." The principal said "you two may go to your classes now."
Brooke and Madison walked out of the principals office as the last class of the say was getting out.
"Nice fake crying, did you learn that at bitch school?" Brooke asked her, scowling.
"You would know wouldn't you?" Madison said smiling back.
"God I hate you." Brooke said. "I would slap you again but I don't want a detention."
"Whatever. You know Brooke maybe you learned a lesson today…"
"Shut up Madison! You have no idea what I've been through today and…" Brooke was saying this when she saw Lucas walking up to her.
"Oh my god." She said breathlessly and she walked over to him almost at the point of tears and threw herself into his arms.
"Way to be dramatic." Madison said staring at this ordeal.
"Madison, can you go please?" Lucas asked her even though he didn't even know what was going on.
Madison let out a sarcastic laugh "sure ok whatever. God I don't know why you date her." Madison said to Lucas as she walked by him.
Brooke kept her head covered in Lucas's chest this whole time.
"What happened?" Lucas asked Brooke after Madison was a safe distance away.
"Oh my god, I totally bitch slapped her." Brooke said looking up and Lucas smiling.
"That's not funny Brooke." Lucas said.
"I know I got two freaking detentions for it." Brooke said "but she was being such a bitch and that deserved a slap."
"What did she say?" Lucas asked her.
"God, I don't know stuff about other stuff and all these random things and, I don't know." Brooke finally ended.
"What?" Lucas asked her putting his hands on her shoulders.
"Well, ok so I had talked to Peyton before and she put me in a bad mood. You know it was just one of those things where one thing led to another and um I slapped her." Brooke said.
"What happened with Peyton?" Lucas asked her, becoming a bit more concerned.
"She said…" Brooke let out a sigh "she said that if the opportunity came she would be with you even if that meant hiding it from me." Brooke said.
"No, Brooke are you sure you didn't misunderstand?" He asked her.
"Yes Lucas I know what I heard." Brooke said getting a little upset.
"I just can't imagine Peyton actually saying that." Lucas said letting go of Brooke.
"Well she did. That's not what you wanted to hear is it?" Brooke asked him.
"What? Brooke no not at all." Lucas said wrapping his arms around her again "I wish you weren't so insecure about us, I would never do that to you again."
"I'm sorry I can't help it." She said.
"Don't be sorry Brooke, I mean it is my fault. But I really love you too much to ever hurt you again." Lucas said.
Haley was in the library studying after school when Nathan walked in and sat down next to her.
"What are you doing here?" She asked him, raising her eyebrows.
"I thought we could do homework together." Nathan said.
"No you did not." Haley said smiling at him.
"Alright so I really came to see if you wanted to get something to eat with me." Nathan said, giving into her.
"I really would love to, but I have to study for this test tomorrow." Haley said putting her pencil down and taking Nathan's hands from across the table.
"But you are very welcome to stay here with me. I would love the company." She said.
"Ok." Nathan said.
"You're kidding right?" She asked him.
"No, I never do anything very Haley like and there's definitely some homework I need to catch up on so, sure I'll stay." Nathan said.
"Great." Haley said letting go of his hands and going back to her homework "well this is surprising." She said after a few moments of silence.
"I know." Nathan said he said laughing.
Haley looked up at him and smiled as he took his books out of his bag.
"Come here." She said.
Nathan looked up at her and leaned across the table and Haley kissed him.
"I love you." Nathan said.
"I love you too. Always…" She said.
"And forever." He replied before leaning in and kissing her again.
