Chapter 1! Shattered Glass Like Silver Rain!
"Let's go to that party at Tim's house." Brooke said eagerly to Peyton as she flopped onto the couch. The blonde starred at her.
"You want to go to the party?" Peyton asked. Brooke nodded her head enthusiastically.
"Yep." Brooke said. A brunette walked into the room carrying a bowl of pop-corn.
"Brooke wants to go to the party doesn't she?" she asked. Peyton nodded.
"Yeah." She said nodding her head so her blonde curls moved with her. Brooke looked over to the second girl and battered her eyelids.
"Come on Hales please? It'll be fun I promise." Brooke said.
"What happened to staying and watching videos all night?" Haley asked.
"Come on Hales you know you want to. Please, please, please?" Brooke begged batting her eyelids again and putting on her cute face. Haley didn't say anything.
"Come on Hales, Luke's all the way in California with Megan coz of his Aunt. I need cheering up." Brooke said grinning.
"Fine." Haley said smiling. She put the pop corn down onto the coffee table just as Brooke jumped up and hugged her, nearly knocking her down. Haley laughed.
"Thank-you, thank-you, thank-you!" Brooke exclaimed.
"You're welcome Tigger." Haley said grinning.
"You two are just so strange." Peyton said from the couch.
"Oh really?" Brooke asked breaking out of her hug with Haley and turning to face Peyton.
"Yes really." Peyton said smiling. Brooke and Haley exchanged a look before they both launched over to Peyton and started tickling her mercilessly.
"Hey guys stop." Peyton laughed. "I take it back! I take it back!" the three girls lay side by side on the couch breathing heavily.
"Let's get ready to go to the party." Brooke said jumping up smiling. Haley and Peyton shared a look before they all went to get dressed.
"Hales baby you look hot! As in H-O-T-T!" Brooke said as she saw her twin wearing an aqua blue coloured top with blue denim jeans and trainers.
"Thanks. So do you Tigger." Haley said. Brooke was wearing a short red dress that came to the middle of her thighs with red slip on shoes and a red jacket.
"Thanks baby. Now then Peyton, are you going to come out yet?" Brooke asked turning to the bathroom door. Peyton emerged wearing a green t-shirt that had a logo of a band Brooke had never heard of before and that Haley didn't know either with black cargo pants.
"You look great Peyton." Haley said truthfully.
"Really?" Peyton asked.
"For sure P. Sawyer." Brooke said.
The girls then got into Brooke and Haley's car and drove to the party.
"I'm going to go and look for Nathan." Haley said and left. Brooke and Haley went and got a drink each when Jake came over to them.
"Hey Jake." Peyton said giving him a kiss.
"Hi Brooke." Jake said smiling at Brooke. Brooke smiled back.
"Hey Jake." She said. They were talking for a while when suddenly Haley came running past Brooke crying. Brooke dropped her drink and ran after her.
"Hales!" Brooke yelled, Haley didn't stop running. Brooke ran faster which was hard to do in her shoes and reached her sister.
"Hay what's wrong baby?" Brooke asked putting her hands on Haley's shoulders and turning her to face her.
"I was looking for Nathan." Haley said crying.
"Baby what happened?" Brooke asked.
"I found him… he… he was… I found him having sex with Theresa!" Haley said launching into a fresh flood of tears.
"He was cheating on you?!" Brooke asked. Haley nodded sadly.
"Ohhhh! I'm going to kick his ass all the way back to last year!" Brooke said. She turned and started back to the house where the party was still going on. Haley followed.
"Brooke don't! I want to go home." Haley said.
"We're going home." Brooke said. Haley nodded.
"After I kick his ass." Brooke added. Haley run to catch up.
"Brookie come on." Haley said. "Please?"
"No… he hurt you and I'm going to make him pay." Brooke said. She continued to the house, ignoring Haley's pleas.
Peyton saw Brooke and Haley's procession up to the house and went over to them.
"What's going on?" she asked, taking in Haley's tear stained face and Brooke's face that held a picture of fury.
"Can you look after Haley for five minutes? I have to take care of Nathan and Theresa." Brooke said. Peyton was confused but by the look in Brooke's eye she knew not to ask her questions. She'd ask Haley when Brooke was taking care of Nathan and Theresa.
"Sure Brooke." Peyton said. Brooke nodded and left. She went up the flight of stairs dodging the people who were passed out and the wasted couples making out. She barged into room after room until she found Nathan and Theresa.
"Hey Super Star!" Brooke said. Nathan looked up from getting dressed.
"Brooke I need to talk to Haley." Nathan said he came over to the door and attempted to get past her.
"Well too bad she doesn't want to see you!" Brooke said.
"Awww look Tutor Girl needs big bad Brooke to fight her battles!" Theresa mocked. Brooke glared at her.
"You better shut up before I get even more pissed." Brooke warned Theresa.
"Oh yeah Brooke, I'm shaking." Theresa laughed. Brooke looked Theresa in the eyes and Theresa stopped laughing and sallowed, she was scared now.
"You're off the squad." Brooke said simply before turning back to Nathan.
"You can't do that!" Theresa yelled.
"Well look at that… as captain I can kick you off and that's what I just did." Brooke said.
"You can't!" Theresa yelled again.
"Shut up bitch." Brooke said. Theresa left glaring at Brooke.
"Now you listen here and you listen good Nathan. You go near Haley again and I'll kill you. You've already hurt her enough." Brooke said.
"Brooke this is between me and Haley… it's none of you're god damn business." Nathan said going to leave. Brooke put a hand on his chest stopping him.
"That's where you're wrong. You see not only does it involve you and Haley but evidently Theresa as well and you know what? It sure as hell involves me seeing as Haley is my sister!" Brooke said. She then punched Nathan as hard as she could. Nathan grabbed his nose which was spurting out blood.
"You hurt Haley again and I'll do more than break your nose." Brooke said leaving. She went downstairs, and found Peyton and Haley waiting for her.
"Let's get out of here." She said. Peyton and Haley stood up and Brooke slung her arm around one side of Haley while Peyton did on the other side. They got in the car and started driving away.
"What did you do Brooke?" Peyton asked.
"I broke Nathan's nose and kicked Theresa off the squad." Brooke said smiling. "And P. Sawyer as my co-captain I expect you to help me enforce that." Peyton smiled.
"Of course I will. I'm happy to see her nasty little ass off the squad." She said smiling.
"You really broke Nathan's nose?" Haley asked.
"Sure did babe." Brooke said smiling wider.
"Thanks Brooke." Haley said as the turned a corner.
"That's ok baby. I'm always here for you." Brooke said giving Haley a smile.
"I love you Tigger." Haley said smiling.
"I love you too Hales." Brooke said. Peyton smiled at the two of them. "Oh and I love you too P."
"Yeah… I love you to Pey." Haley said. Peyton grinned.
"Awww… I love you guys too." She said.
"How about some music ladies?" Brooke asked.
"Yep." Peyton said.
"Sounds good." Haley said. Brooke then pressed the 'play' button on the car's CD player.
"What CD is in there?" Haley asked.
"I have no idea. Listen and we'll see." Brooke replied smiling. The first few notes of The Weekenders song 'Victory' came through the speakers and flooded into the car.
"Oh my god!" Haley exclaimed.
"What is it?" Brooke asked.
"I love this song." Haley exclaimed. Brooke titled her head to the side slightly listening as Peyton did the same.
"I know. So do I." Brooke said.
"Same here. Turn it up." Peyton said. Brooke obliged turning the volume dial up. All three girls started singing at the top of their voices, the singing mixed with their laughter flew out of the car and into the street outside. The light up ahead changed from red to green as Brooke and Haley's silver bug came driving along. They drove until the car coming from the left hand side of the intersection didn't stop.
"BROOKE! Look out!" Peyton yelled. Brooke pressed her foot to the brake pedal as all three girls looked out the passenger's side window, wide eyed. The car swerved and hit the front of Brooke's car. She saw the glass smash and fly through the air like silver rain, she heard the screech of tires and the smell of burning ruber, she heard the screams of Peyton, Haley and herself, the brightness of the car's headlights blinded her as the song played on and on.
