Chapter 22
Moving On
The next week was hectic, Brooke and Haley helped Peyton pack and they also had to take care of their demon children. They were starting to move around more and that just made it so they had to be watched more. When Brooke and Haley went to help pack Peyton and Jenny up at their house, Nathan and Lucas had to watch the kids.
"Brooke, please stop whining, I'm not leaving until tomorrow anyways and your really starting to make me feel bad." Peyton said, hugging Brooke.
"I know, but my bestest friend since forever is moving away from me!" Brooke whined.
"Oh stop being so dramatic, Brooke!" Haley said, laughing.
"Yea, what Haley said." Peyton said, also laughing. "And can you please let go of me, I promise I won't leave, I'm just going to get more boxes."
"FIne." Brooke said, giving up.
"You and Haley can go finish packing Jenny's room, I'm sure she would love it if you helped her I know I would love it." Peyton explained, she really didn't like the idea of a 3-year-old, almost 4-year-old, packing up her bedroom. She was just throwing stuff in boxes and that wasn't so funny when they were glass things.
Brooke and Haley went into Jenny's room, they found her sitting on her bed with her elbows on her legs and her hands on her cheeks, she looked troubled and stresses out, it looked so funny because a 3-year-old shouldn't look that way.
"What's up, cupcake?" Brooke asked, jumping onto the bed beside her. Jenny practically catapolted to the roof, she was a pretty small little girl.
"I'm moving Aunty Bwooke." Jenny said seriously, rolling her eyes at them, a trait she picked up from Brooke, when she stayed at her house. Brooke was doing it to Lucas.
Brooke and Haley looked at eachother, sadly. "Yea, aren't you excited about it?" Haley asked concerned, sitting next to Jenny.
"Yea, mommy says it's going to be lotsa fun, but I'm sad that you guys don't get to come." Jenny said, sadly.
Brooke gave her a side hug. "Oh baby, don't worry about that you don't want to see us everyday, that would get really boring." she said, trying to make her feel better.
"Yea, Aunty Brooke is right, when you come back here to see us sometimes it'll be more fun because you will be soooo excited you get to stay here." Haley explained, trying to do the same.
"Yea, and then I will be able to come for sweepovers at your houses, rwight?" Jenny asked, getting excited.
"Yep, definitly." Brooke said. "And when you come Braden and Gabriella will be older and you will be able to play with them more."
"Oh yay!" Jenny said, jumping off her bed. "Now are you going to howp me pack or what?"

That evening, Brooke was sitting on the floor playing with Braden while he talked up a storm, it was more like gurgles and tiny screams, but he was trying. Lucas was setting the table, which ws normally Brooke's job, but of course she got away without having to do it because that was Brooke for you. She always got what she wanted.
"Brooke, can you please help me, everybodies going to be here soon." Lucas said, trying to sound mean. He was failing miserably though. The rest of their messed up gang was coming over any minute for Peyton's going away party, another one of Brooke's ideas of course.
"I could, but who would play with Braden?" Brooke asked, even though it was a stupid question.
"I will, you can come finish this." Lucas said, patting Brooke on the butt and pushing her into the kitchen.
"Ok ok, I'm going, but kiss me first." Brooke said, pouting with her arms crossed.
Luke kissed her and sent her on her way. "There's my boy, was mom corrupting you again?" he asked, talking to his son.
Braden just smiled when Lucas came into the room. "Oh my god, that was your first smile." Lucas gasped. Then he picked Braden up. "Were not going to tell your mom you did that Braden ok? Because she would like to see the first time you smiled and I'm going to teach you something." Braden just looked at him, then smiled again and Lucas smiled, too. "It's ok to lie about things like that if your trying to make your wife happy, especially if you marry somebody like Brooke."
"What are you telling him, Broody?" Brooke asked, laughing from the kitchen. She could here him talking to Braden, but she didn't know what he was saying.
"Nothing, it's just guy stuff." Lucas said, putting his finger over his lips and looking over at Braden. "Shhhh."
About 10 minutes later all the teenagers were over at Brooke and Lucas'.
"Oh I wanted to see Gabby, where is she?" Brooke asked, dissapointed.
"We didn't want to bring her, we needed time to ourselves for a night." Haley explained, taking of her sweater. "So she's with Grandma Deb for the night."
"Well what if she cries all night?" Brooke asked, curiously.
"I don't think that'll happen." Nathan said. "I recorded Haley singing to Gabby and we put it by her crib at my mom's house, it's just so she goes to sleep without putting up a fight."
"Awwww that's so cute!" Brooke said. "Luke, isn't that cute?"
"Yea...sure...whatever." Lucas said from the living room where he was watching a basketball game.
"Ok, I'll see you girls later it sounds like Luke's watching the basketball game." Nathan said, running off to the living room to join his older brother. The girls just laughed.
About half an hour later everybody ate supper and then they watched a movie, it was their thing. When the movie was over everybody was quiet because they new what was coming. Peyton was leaving, but that wasn't even the hardest part of the night, it was saying good-bye that was harder.
"I'm going to get going because I still have to pack some stuff and then pick up Jenny from her grandma's house." Peyton said getting up.
Everybody got up off the couches they were on, except for Brooke.
"I don't want to say good bye to any of you, but I know I have to." Peyton said. She was going to say good bye to each of them individually. "Nathan, you were my first real boyfriend, I'm going to miss you buddy." Peyton said, hugging him.
"I'm going to miss you too, Peyton, if you hadn't broken up with me then I probably wouldn't be with Haley right now." Nathan said, putting a hand around Haley's waist and pulling her into him. "Thank you."
"Well I knew you and Haley were going to get married so I had to break up with you." she said, sarcastically.
Next she hugged Haley. "I'm going to miss you, Haley. I'm especially going to miss the times when you would talk to me about Nathan, 'you would be upset about this too is you guys were still dating though, right?'." Peyton said, mocking something that Haley asked her once.
"Hey!" Haley said, offended, hitting Peyton playfully. "Your not aloud to quote me!"
"What?" Nathan asked, confused. "Did I miss something?"
"Nevermind." Haley said to Nathan, but was glaring at Peyton. Peyton was just laughing at her.
She walked up to Lucas next. "Lucas."
"Peyton." Lucas said, mocking her. Peyton smiled.
She hugged him and whispered in his ear. "Thank you for saving me."
"Your always saving me." was what both of them were thinking about when Peyton said that.
Lucas nodded and they pulled away from the hug, both thinking about their past and then everything that came from it while they stared at eachother, knowingly. They both understood to leave it at that, because everybody could sense the tension that was forming in the room.
Next, Peyton went and sat beside Brooke on the couch, then she looked at everybody else and they knew to leave so Peyton could talk to Brooke.
They just stared at eachother for a second, then Peyton spoke. "I'm going to miss you B. Davis." she started tearing up at that point when she hugged Brooke.
Brooke started crying instantly. "B. Scott."
Peyton whined. "But that doesn't sound right!"
"I know!" Brooke said, laughing through her tears.
They settled down again and then Brooke spoke. "I am going to miss you sooo much P. Sawyer." the tears rolled down her face again. "You have to promise to call me everyday and let me know how your doing."
"Oh I will." Peyton said, crying just as much as Brooke now. "I won't be able to make it threw the days without talking to my best friend."
"Your my bestest friend in the whole world never forget that." Brooke said. "And don't think for a minute that your going to find somebody else to be your bestest friend."
"Brooke, nobody could replace you." Peyton said, laughing. "You're one of a kind."
"I know, and that's why you love me." Brooke said, not being modest at all, she never was though. "I'm coming to stay with you in the apartment and then your taking me shopping in New York." she demanded.
"Definitly." Peyton said. "And I'm going to come back and visit you guys."
Brooke nodded. "Ok you better go before I seriously use all the kleenex."
They just laughed. Then they got up and Brooke walked her to the door. Everybody stood there and said their last good bye to Peyton. "Oh I didn't think this was going to be this hard." she said crying,standing by the front door. "I love all of you guys."

It was about 10:30, Nathan and Haley headed home, excited to have the house to themselves without Gabby for a night.
"So what do you want to do?" Nathan asked, when the show ended that they were watching in their bedroom.
Haley just laughed. "Your joking right?"
"yea." Nathan said, then kissed her.
Nathan shut the tv off and began kissing her again. Haley then took off Nathan's shirt, then Nathan took Haley's off. They were kissing more passionately, then Haley undid Nathan's belt and took his pants off and started kissing him again and then Nathan pulled Haley's pants off, but still kissing her. Haley made her way on top of Nathan and they were breathing heavily. "I love you." Haley whispered into Nathan's ear.
"I love you too, Hales." Nathan said, then began kissing her again as they took advantage of their night alone.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Over at Brooke and Lucas', Lucas was cleaning up for Brooke in the kitchen and Brooke was in the bedroom. When Lucas was finished he went in there.
Brooke wasn't facing him, but Lucas could hear her crying. "What's wrong, Brooke?"
"Nothing." Brooke said, trying to stop crying quickly.
"Your crying though." Lucas said, sitting beside her.
Brooke put the blanket on top of her head. "I'm not crying." she said, not convincing Lucas of course.
"Brooke." Lucas took the blanket from Brooke, at first she tried to fight for it, but then she just let him take it. "It's ok to miss Peyton you know."
She sat up in bed and put her arms around her knees. "I know, but I didn't want you to see that I was crying, it's really embarrasing you know."
"Since when are you afraid of crying in front of me?" Lucas asked, laughing at the situation.
"Since I'm crying over something so stupid, I'm supposed to be adult about this, but I can't help it." she said, putting her head on Luke's chest and crying a little again.
"Shhh, it's ok if you feel this way, she was your best friend your whole life." he said softly, stroking Brooke's hair.
"I miss her already, Broody." Brooke said.
"I know, I know you do." Lucas said, kissing the top of her head.
"Thanks, Luke, you always know what to say to me." Brooke said kissing him.
"I love you soo much, Brooke." he said staring into her eyes.
"I love you too, Lucas." she said, laying her head back on his chest.
At that moment Brooke knew everything was going to be fine, because she had Lucas and Braden with her now and even though Peyton wasn't going to live in Tree Hill anymore, they were still best friends.
All of them were, they had been threw so much, yet still be able to be so lucky at the same time. Peyton was starting fresh and beginning a new life somewhere else but she still had her friends back home. Brooke, Lucas, Nathan and Haley, with their kids, were also starting the beginning of a new life.
The End...for now that is.
Remember to look for the sequel coming soon, it's called 'What Comes From This New Life'
