Chapter 4

Later that night Brooke was sitting on her bed watching TV when the doorbell rang. Brooke sighted and turned the TV off. She opened the door and decided that whoever was up there really hated her.

"Hey Brooke. Can we talk?"

She glared at him and was about to shut the door on his face when Lucas stopped her.

"Brooke just ear me out…please…"

She wanted to laugh at him but she could she the desperation in his eyes so she decided to ear him. The worst he could say was that he and Peyton were together and she preferred to find out like this before seeing them kissing, at least like this she could prepare herself for the sight of her ex-boyfriend and ex-best friend making out.

"Fine…"

"Look I know I hurt you and that I had no right to because you never did anything bad but…"

Brooke gave him a 'just say it' look and he took a deep breath.

"I just wanted to say I'm sorry and…that I hope you can forgive."

Brooke sighted to prepare herself before answering him.

"Look right now I really don't wanna look at you. Yes you apologize but that doesn't really matter because in the end it all hurts just the same. Now do me a favor and get out of my face."

With that Brooke slammed the door on his face, sat on the floor against the door and sobbed.

On the other side of the door Lucas sighted before giving one long look at the red door of the Davis house and walked away.

Jess stood against the doorframe of Peyton's room.

Her room was definitely different but that was no surprise, Peyton had the habit of changing her room every few months. What was exactly the same was the girl sitting on the desk drawing and listening to rock music.

Jess entered the room and turned the music off.

Peyton jumped and looked behind her.

"Hey…sorry I scared you."

She gave him a little smile. "It's fine. I'm kinda used too people entering without knocking."

Jess nodded and looked around her cd's. "Looks like it got a lot bigger."

"Ye, six years can do that."

Jess nodded and sighted. "Look Peyton you know I don't stall so I'm just coming out and say it…What is up with you and Brooke."

Peyton sat on her bed. "I was expecting you too already know."

He looked at her. "Brooke told me but I want to ear your side of the history. You know I don't take sides between you two."

Peyton took a deep breath. Never in her life she thought talking too Jess would be so difficult. "Its kind complicated…"

"Peyton…"

"You wanna ear my side fine…" She was getting sick of playing around the subject and decided too just come out and say it.

"I liked Lucas but I was afraid so when he told me he wanted too date me I ran…"

Jess nodded as a sign for her too continue.

"And I guess Brooke being Brooke went after him, but then she started too like him too…"

"One night I realized I wanted it, I wanted too date him so I went too see him and Brooke was there…"

"So you two decided not too tell her why you went there that night?"

"Yes but then I got a call about my dad and Brooke told Lucas to go with me and we got caught on the moment…"

"But we never did anything…"

"A kiss is a thing Peyton…"

"I know…I can't believe I did this Jess, she was my best friend and I hurt her…I'm a terrible friend…" By now Peyton was crying, tears were running down her cheeks.

"But you did it Peyton and you need to deal with this." Jess spoke calmly to her, he wasn't taking sides he was just pushing them both together so they could make up.

Peyton laughed sarcastically. "So your taking her side…I should have expected it."

That answer put Jess into shock. "Are you kidding me? You think I'm taking sides…What the fuck happen to the Peyton I knew? The one who would put her best friend's life before hers? Huh? What happen to her?"

Peyton looked at him speechless.

Jess sighted and started to leave. When he got to the door he turned.

"Think about it and when you find out what happen to her come see me." Jess turned around and left leaving a sobbing Peyton behind.

Haley was cleaning the counter when Lucas walked in. Her friend had a distant look in his eyes and Haley got worried.

He sat down on a stool and looked at her.

"I messed up Haley. I messed up big time. I hurt Brooke, I destroyed their friendship…"

"I'm guessing you talked too Brooke…"

He nodded has a response.

"What did she say to you?"

"She basically told me too get out of her face."

Haley nodded and started making him a hot chocolate. When she finished it she put it in front of him on the counter and he took a sip.

"Luke…"

He looked at her. "Ye?"

"Do you like her?"

"Which one?"

"Brooke…"

He sighted.

"Ye I do and I made a huge mistake about cheating on her…"

"Do you like Peyton Lucas?"

"I don't know Haley. That's the thing I have always liked Peyton, she was this forbidden girl you know, the girl I knew wouldn't look at me and then she did and I just…"

"You took the chance."

"Yes."

"But what about Brooke?"

"Brooke is amazing Hales. I know I like her but…"

"If you wanna know my opinion…I think you should pick one girl, only one and let them both cool off for awhile before doing anything."

Lucas nodded.

"Thanks for the advice Hales."

He put the cup on the counter and kissed Haley on the forehead before leaving.

Haley grabbed the cup and sighted her best friend was totally screwed.

Last year, who would have though that Lucas Scott would be involved in a love triangle with Peyton Sawyer and Brooke Davis?

Definitely not her…
