Peyton's POV

Nathan and I walked into Tric for the wedding rehearsal. The place was packed, alot of people I recognized from high school or close friends of ours, but there were some I didn't know who they were. They must of been family and friends of Lindsay I thought to myself. One person I didn't see who I thought would be here by know was Karen. I looked all around but she was know were in sight when I turned back to Nathan we had welcomed by some close friends of ours.

"Nice of you to show up, man" Skills came up behind Nathan.

"Ya, well I kinda lost track of time when I had an unexpected guest show up in my room" Nathan looked over at me and smiled. In that moment just that smile made me melt and my knees got weak. I tried to hide it but Brooke was looking me dead in the eye and completely read me. She winked at me with a look of accomplishment.

Earlier that afternoon:

"Marvin McFadden I know your in this apartment now get your cute ass out here and give me a hug." Brooke shouted across the apartment as she pushed open the front door without even knocked and frantically searched the apartment for him.

"Brooke?" Mouth had a puzzled look on his face as he came out of his bedroom clearly looking hungover or overworked. Either way he looked like shit.

"Lips. I missed you!" Brooke threw her arms around the lanky boy.

"I missed you too Brooke Davis" Mouth looked over at me with a huge grin on his face.

"Peyton get over here. I missed you too" We stood there in a 3 person hug as Skills walked into the apartment.

"Why is the front door wide-..." Skills looked at all of us hugging and walked over.

"Two of sexiest girls in Tree hill in my apartment. Man I'm lucky" Skills licked his lips with a cocky grin. We all laughed.

"Whats up Skills?" Brooke and I walked over to skills and hugged him.

After all the hugging we all settled on couch.

"Nothing much baby girl. Just got back from my man Lucas' house." At the moment Lucas' name escaped Skills mouth Brooke's body completely tensed up beside me on the couch. I grabbed her hand and squeezed it.

"Oh shit am I not suppose to say anything?" Skill looked at Brooke with an apologetic look.

"No, No I'm fine. Go on" Brooke smiled. I could see right through it, but there was nothing I could do right now.

"Okay well I was at his house and I guess him and Nathan got into a fight this morning and I guess he doesn't think Nathan will be at the dinner tonight anymore even though he's the best man."

Brooke's face lit up after hearing all of this. "No, He has to come we haven't seen him in like 4 years. Some one needs to convince him to come tonight, but the only person I've ever known to get through to him is Peyton." She looked over at me with a look of evil. She rambles to make it seem like she just came up with that but I just knew she would do something like this.

"No, Brooke I really dont think this is a good idea." I started to protest.

"Ya I bet he'll come if you go talk to him." Mouth chimed in.

I signed and before I could get another word in Brooke was pushing me out the door telling me she'll see me at the dinner in half an hour that she would go with Mouth and Skills.

"So, how was the flight?" Mouth tried to change the subject.

"It was pretty good. The food sucked but when doesn't it." Brooke turned her attention to him.

"Bye guys, cya in a while." I called out and with that I headed to the one place I wasn't planning on going today or anytime soon

End of flashback.

Brooke gabbed me from the crowd of our friends and linked arms with me as we made our way over to the bar. "I'll take two of your hardest alcohol. Thanks barboy." She winked at him and we sat on the stools.

"Wow, that was fast Brooke. I thought you'd wait a bit to flirt with the bartender not right when you walk in the door." I laughed as he handed us our drinks and smiled at Brooke.

She shrugged. "Why waste time. Anyways hows it going with you and boy toy over there. together yet?"

"Brooke. We just saw each other for the first time since high school, I'm not gunna just hop into bed with him the first time I see him." I smack her arm. The bartender brought us our drinks as he and Brooke exchanged smiles.

After a few drink and a lot of dancing later, Brooke and I joined the table the guys were at.

"So I thought Haley was coming?" Mouth looked over to Brooke.

"Ya, She sent me a text message a while ago saying her flight was delayed but she would be here tomorrow for the wedding and she is bringing her new boyfriend" You could tell Brooke was starting to slur her words so my best bet was to keep my mouth shout before I make myself look like a fool.

"You two haven't changed a bit. Lucas and Lindsay aren't even here yet and your both completely drunk" Nathan starting laughing at us as did the other guys.

"We are SOOO not drunk Nate." I kinked my eyebrow at Nathan as Brooke began to giggle uncontrollably.

"Okay you guys can prove to us your not tanked. Common Brooke lets dance." Skills dragged Brooke on to the dance floor. Nathan turned to me.

"Wanna dance?" I couldn't say no to that smile so I nodded and he lead me to the floor. The song ended and we were all out of breath and laughing as Nathan was holding me from not falling over. Brooke looked at us and smirked as I rolled my eyes back at her. The four of us just stood there laughing in the middle of the dance floor as Lucas and Lindsay made there grand entrance. In that moment I could tell Brooke completely sobered up and as did I when Nathan took his hands away from my waist. I grabbed Brooke's hand and Skills put his hand on her shoulder and Nathan stood with us. All of us lost in our thoughts and feeling sorry for each other as the soon to be Mr. and Mrs. Lucas Scott greeted everyone and made there way over to us.

"Nice to see you decided to show up little brother." Lucas came up behind Nate and smiled at all of us. Lindsay was everything I had imagined she was pretty, clearly smart and a total bitch. I smiled at her and she turned to Brooke and smirked.

"You must be Brooke Davis. I've heard tons about you and I love your clothes. Oh and you must be the best friend Peyton its nice to meet you." You could sense the sarcasm dripping off her tongue as she spoke. Brooke shot her a glare and I laughed.

"You too. Brooke why dont we go get another drink." With that I grabbed her arm and left while turning back to roll my eyes at Skills and you could tell he knew what I meant and laughed.

Nathans POV

I was having such a good night tonight. I couldn't believe how good it had turned till Luke had arrived. It all had seemed like a dream ever since she showed up at my bedroom door. We drank, danced and all caught up on our lives. It all seemed so right. I know Peyton was wasted but taking care of her and watching her almost felt normal again.

Than Lucas and Lindsay had finally arrived. Lucas with an ass of a grin across his face, I could of just punched it off of him right there and than but I had promised everyone I wouldn't ruin tonight for Luke. I bite my tongue and held my clenched fist down. I could tell the minute Lindsay walked in the door Brooke and Peyton were uncomfortable and tense. They exchanged there bitter hello's and the two girls made there way over to the bar to get a drink they clearly didn't need. You could tell Brooke was flirting with the bartender much to Lucas' disgust. All I could do was laugh at his attempt not to be jealous.

The next moment all I could see was Lindsay making her way over to the girls at the bar. The only thing I could hear before I was rushing over there was Peyton screaming "Get the hell off my best friend bitch." As I made my way frantically over there Peyton and Lindsay were on the ground fighting. It was hard to get through the crowd that had formed around the girls but once I got there Brooke was trying to pull Peyton from under Lindsay I could believe it.

Brooke backed off once I got there I grabbed Peyton as Lucas grabbed Lindsay who already had a black eye starting but from as I remember Peyton as did have a good right hook.

"You need to leave. Now." Lucas had shouted at Peyton. I wanted to kill him, she didn't do anything and he's putting her at fault. Peyton trying to catch her breath was left speechless.

"Fine, if she has to leave I'm going with her." I grabbed Peyton's hand and began to walk out.

"Wait Nate, were coming with you." Brooke, Skills, Mouth, Fergie, and Junk followed behind us as we made our way to the parking lot leaving a speechless Lucas and a beaten up Lindsay.
