A/N-Here is Part Two. I hope you enjoy this chapter.


Chapter Twenty-Two: What I'm Feeling Part Two.

Brooke was silently startled by Skye's confession, but secretly was jumping for joy on the inside. Brooke has always been a fan Bryler.

"It clearly shows on your face how much you care about her."

Skyler shakes her head.

"I don't just care about her. I love her."

Brooke smiles and hugs the young girl.

"I know you do sweetie and Brianna loves you too."

"Brooke, do you think high school relationships last?" Skye asks innocently.

"Hmm…I think if it is with the right two people then yeah relationships would last."

"Do you think Brianna and I will last?" Skye asks hesitantly.

Brooke smiles.

"I have a good feeling about you two."


After their hug Brianna sat back down on the couch with Peyton next to her.

"I love my mother very much. I wouldn't exactly call her my best friend, but she was always there for us, my brother and me. Our dad left when my brother was born. I was 2 when T.J was born, but I still remember my father and he doesn't." Brianna laughs slightly. "He grew up always thinking that he had two moms and for the most part it was true. My mom and Sarah were best friends. In fact Sarah was my dad's sister." Brianna risks a glance at Peyton and sees that she is listening intently so she continues. "My mom said she was 4 months pregnant when she first she kissed Sarah. When I was older I used to always think how she could cheat on dad, but when I saw my mom and Sarah it was like I knew what love was at that moment. It was because of the way they showed it. Anyways, my dad found out and left right after my brother was born. Despite what Sarah and my mom did she was so pissed that my dad left. Mostly because he was abandoning his children. He ignored her and left anyway. That same day Sarah vowed to raise us as if we were her and mom's. My mom let Sarah adopt us and I haven't seen my dad father since. Except for the time when I was 10, but that's another story."

"That's a lot of history Brianna."

Brianna nods her head. Peyton watches Brianna closely and realizes that something else is wrong. Years of teaching teenagers made Peyton look in the teens eyes to realize what was wrong.

"Brianna, what else is bothering you?"

"Nothing is bothering me," Brianna whispers.

"Honey, please, look at me," Peyton says while she lifts Brianna's chin towards her with her finger. "What's the matter?"

"I'm scared," Brianna admits.

"Scared about what?"

Brianna sighs.

"I've never stayed this long with a family and I'm scared because I don't want to go anywhere. I love you and Brooke and I don't want to go anywhere," Brianna says as she starts to sob.

Peyton looks at Brianna in shock and she quickly grabs Brianna and hugs her only to have Brianna crawl on her lap.

"Sweetie, you are not going anywhere. I promise you that. Brooke and I wouldn't let that happen."

"I don't normally do this," Brianna whispers as she gets off of Peyton.

"I understand that Brianna. You had to grow up fast and you haven't had time to be a kid, but I am telling you right now, Brooke and I want you to be a kid. Let us be the parents."

Brianna wipes away the tears and smiles up at Peyton.

"Thank-you for everything."

"No thank you's necessary."

Brianna nods her head and looks at Peyton.

"No more serious talk please…"

Peyton nods her head and smiles as she gets up off of the couch and walks over to a mini fridge where she pulls out two sodas and hands one to Brianna.

"Then what do you want to talk about?"

"Why do you love music?"

Peyton raises an eyebrow at the question.

"No one's asked me that before."

"Well I am so why do you love music?"

Peyton sits back down and thinks about her answer.

"I love music because it tells a story. Music can express anybody and it helps you with your moods. There is a song for everything. When you're a parent for the first time or when you get married, birthday's…funerals…no matter the mood there's always a song."

Brianna listens intently and sees Peyton's eyes light up from the way she's talking about music.

"I just that I love it. Every lyric tells a story."

Brianna smiles and chuckles.

"What's so funny?" Peyton asks.

"Why are you a teacher?"

"Excuse me?"

"It's just…I see the way you talk about music. Why are you teaching because honestly I think you should run a record label?"

"That was my dream," Peyton whispers, "to own a record label and sign great bands instead of washed up actresses trying to sing."

"Then why don't you do that Peyton?"

"Because it's not steady enough and I need steady."

Brianna raises her eyebrow and Peyton further explains.

"I got married young and I was in school and Brooke really wanted her clothing store. So, I put my dreams on hold so that Brooke could have hers."

Brianna nods her head in understanding.

"Don't you think it's your turn now?"

Peyton just shakes her head.

"I can't. I have a family to support right now."

"That's crap Peyton. Brooke can handle all of that. You should get to live out your dream. I know that no matter what I am going to try my hardest to achieve mine. Skye told me hers and I know in my heart that no matter what I am going to help with hers. Do the same for yourself Peyton. Go for your dreams because I'll support you and I know that your wife will to."
