CHAPTER 36

"What the hell?" the person said as she walked closer to the two men that were tied before her. "You two aren't supposed to be awake yet…oh well, I guess we can work with this."

Jake looked at the girl in shock. "Nikki?"

"Hey Jake, how's my daughter?" she asked somewhat evilly.

"She's fine, no thanks to you," he said as he continued to stare at her.

"I don't mean to interrupt your little reunion or whatever but why am I here?" Nathan asked. "I get why you would want Jake, but what would you want with me?"

Nikki smirked. "Don't worry I'm not the one that wants you Nathan, just a friend of mine who claims to know you."

Just then another girl walked in. "Hey Nate."

Nathan looked at her and his eyes widened.

"Crap."

---------------

Chase groaned as did the people that landed on him.

They all stood up slowly.

Then Chris looked at his surroundings and noticed that his best friend was standing before him. He also noticed that Lucas was standing next to him so he quickly ran behind his friend.

"Let's settle this outside Keller," Lucas said through gritted teeth as he clenched his fist at his sides. "I don't mess this house up."

"No that's okay," Chris answered from behind his confused friend. "You can go on without me."

Felix walked to the bottom of the stairs when he heard this. "I don't know Chris, that offer sounds too good to pass up."

Chris looked behind him and glared at the Latino. "Stay out of this."

"I would love to," Felix said with a fake smile. "As soon you get out of my house."

Chris didn't answer, he just continued to glare, so Felix glared back.

"I'm getting kinda scared," Peyton muttered to Taylor who was standing proudly next to her irritated boyfriend.

Taylor ignored her. "Don't you think Lucas looks hot when he's angry?"

Peyton just rolled her eyes.

---------------

"Haley I'm lonely," Brooke whined.

"Yeah…" Haley mumbled.

"Come over," Brooke said.

"What about-"

"You could bring Jenny with you," Brooke cut her off already knowing what she was going to say.

"Okay, just give me like half an hour and I'll be there," Haley replied as she began to get the things that Jenny would need.

---------------

"Hello Nathan," the girl said sultrily as she walked over to him. "Miss me?"

"I thought you left," Nathan said ignoring her question.

"Oh I did, but my friend here needed my help, and I suggested to bring you along for the ride, also," she said as she bent down and leaned forward to be inches away from his face. "I heard you knocked up Brooke Davis."

"So?" he said.

"That's impressive," she commented as she stood up. "Especially since you were with that one nerd, what was her name? Oh yes, Haley James. I always thought she was bitch."

Nathan smirked. "Still holding a grudge on Haley, I see."

The girl scoffed. "Whatever."

"Aw," he teased. "You still hate Haley for taking me away from you, that's so cute."

She narrowed her eyes. "At least I took you away from her sister."

"Taylor?" he asked. "Please, we were already on the verge of breaking up before you came along, besides we were going off and on for years until she started taking a liking to Lucas."

"You tell yourself that," she said.

"I will," he said with a shrug. "Cause it's true."

She sighed and turned back to Nikki. "He's pissing me off."

"I see," she smirked before turning to Jake. "So Jake…how is Haley?"

Jake tried to fake indifference. "How should I know?"

"She is your girlfriend isn't she?" she said with a wicked smile when she saw his eyes widen.

"H-how do you know that?" he stuttered. He didn't want them to hurt her.

"Oh I did my research," she replied. "I also know she is with my daughter."

"Yeah well, she's safe with Haley," he said, getting angry.

"For now she is," she snapped, trying to calm herself she took a deep breath. "But soon Jenny is going to be back with her real mother."

"She has a real mother," Jake retorted. "Haley is more of a mother to her than you will ever be."

"We'll see about that," she said as she walked out of, what seemed to be a basement.

The other girl watched her leave and shook her head with a smile as she turned back to Nathan.

"You better hope that your little girlfriend isn't alone," she said.

"Why?" Nathan asked, trying to keep the shakiness from his voice.

"Let's just say Haley isn't the one you should worry about me having a grudge on," she said laughing at the worry etched on his face. "See you later Nathan."

With that she walked out of the basement as well.

Jake turned to Nathan. "Ex-girlfriend?"

"Psycho ex-girlfriend," Nathan corrected.

"She got a name?" Jake asked.

"Rachel Gatina."

---------------

"Lucas let's just go," Peyton pleaded. She felt extremely uncomfortable. Chris and Chase were looking at her with sad eyes and Felix was looking at her with caring eyes.

Taylor looked at Lucas. "Yeah, maybe we could go bug your brother or something."

He sighed. "Okay," he said reluctantly. "Let's go."

They all walked towards the door, Peyton being the last one to get out the door.

Chris sighed, but not in relief.

It was a sad sigh, Chase noticed, and he also remembered what he had done to him. So he quickly ran out the door.

"Peyton!" he yelled.

She looked up at him in confusion. "What?"

He walked up to her and looked at her with regret. "It was me."

"What?" she repeated, now even more confused. "What are you talking about? What was you?"

"The clothes," he said. "The clothes you found in Chris' house, I put it there."

"You did what?" Chris said as he walked up to them. "How could you?"

"I didn't mean to," Chase answered weakly. "It was Felix's idea and-"

"But you went along with it," Peyton said incredulously.

"Yes and I'm so sor-"

"Save your damn apologies," Chris said angrily. "I thought you were my best friend."

"I am, I just-"

"No!" he yelled. "If you were you wouldn't have even thought about doing it."

"But-"

"I'm outta here," Chris said as he walked away.

Chase watched him leave with shameful eyes then he turned to Peyton.

She looked at him for a second before shaking her head in disappointment and following Chris.

Taylor and Lucas watched everything in shock.

"You're not gonna beat his ass are you?" she asked as she looked up at him with suspicion.

Lucas looked at Chase. "No, he looks like he really regrets it, besides after chasing Chris, I'm beat."

Taylor laughed. "So what now?"

"Let's pay a visit to my little brother."

---------------

"I'm here," Haley said as she closed the door to Brooke and Nathan's room.

She struggled, she had Jenny in one arm and Jenny's bag in the other, but she still made it to the bed where Brooke was.

"Haley thank god!" Brooke said as she reached out to hug her with Jenny in between.

"Okay I get it, much love, but can you help me out here?" Haley asked.

"Oh right, sorry," Brooke said as she took the bag from her and put it on the drawer next to her.

"Hi Auntie Bwook," Jenny said groggily as she lifted her head off of Haley's shoulder.

"Hi Jenny," she said with a smile.

"So what's up?" Haley asked .

"Oh my god," Brooke said as she remembered why she was so scared before Haley got there. "I've been hearing some freaky ass things."

"Brooke!" Haley exclaimed as she covered Jenny's ears. "Language."

The little girl just giggled.

"You see? Jenny doesn't care, besides this is crucial," Brooke exclaimed going wide eyed.

"Okay what was it?" Haley asked, wanting Brooke to enlighten her.

Brooke got quiet as she scrunched her eyebrows. "You know what? I think I forgot."

Haley rolled her eyes. "I should have figured."

Just then the doorbell rang.

"I'll get it," Brooke said with enthusiasm.

"Nice try," Haley said as she pushed Brooke by her shoulder before she had a chance to sit up. "You're on bed rest missy."

Brooke opened her mouth to protest but stopped when she heard footsteps coming towards her door.

She held her breath when the doorknob turned.

She looked on to see who it was and let out a sigh of relief when she saw it was Lucas and Taylor.

"Hey guys," she said happily.

"Hey," they smiled.

Taylor looked around and noticed that Nathan was not present. "So where is the man of the house?"

"Hanging out with Jake," Brooke answered nonchalantly.

Lucas looked at Haley confusion. "What are you doing here?"

"What are you doing here?" she retorted playfully.

"I asked you first," he challenged with a raised eyebrow.

"So?" she said as she got comfortable next to Brooke. "I'm a girl, it's called courtesy, so answer the question."

"But it was my question first," he replied.

"Well I took your question and made it mine, so answer it," she said with a smile, she loved messing with Lucas, it was just too easy.

"Haley leave the man alone," Taylor said coming to the defense of her boyfriend.

"Says who?" Haley said, oh yes, it was time to mess with Taylor.

"Says me," Taylor said firmly.

"Oh yeah? You and what army?" she asked lifting her eyebrow.

"Haley leave them alone," Brooke said.

Uh oh, sounds like Brooke wants to be messed with too, Haley smirked.

"Brooke you're not really gonna try to stop me are you?"

"Maybe I am," Brooke answered with a smile, she knew what Haley was doing and she wasn't going to let her win this game.

She found it amusing though, Haley was very entertaining when she put her mind into teasing someone, especially Lucas and Taylor.

"Bring it on then," Haley taunted.

"Oh I will," Brooke said with a confident nod.

"You know what this means?" Lucas asked as he craned his neck to look at Taylor.

She nodded with a smile. "Mama jokes!"

Jenny laughed from her position in between Brooke and Haley.

"Mama yokes!"

---------------

Peyton and Chris walked to his house in silence.

They entered it in silence.

And they stood, looking at each other in silence.

"I'm sorry I didn't believe you," she whispered.

He just nodded as he looked at the underwear and heels that were on the floor. He squinted at them as if remembering something.

"Son of a bitch!" he said quickly in a high voice.

"What?" Peyton asked startled.

"The shoes and the underwear, I recognize them," he said as he started to walk towards the door.

"Where are you going?" she asked.

"I need to see Chase," he replied. "You wanna come?"

She nodded.

---------------

Anna closed the front door and crossed her arms while she turned around to stare her brother down. "What was all that about?"

"Why would I know?" he said looking at her like she crazy.

"I just have a feeling you had something to do with it," she said simply.

"Yeah well, I didn't," he said as he got closer to his sister and stared her straight in the face.

She narrowed her eyes. "I know when you're lying Felix."

His eye twitched before he he spoke, holding back his anger. "You wish you did."

Anna smirked as his eye twitched some more. "No big brother, you wish I didn't."

He just glared in response.

"Is that all you did?" she asked. "You screwed with Peyton's relationship? You did nothing more?"

"I didn't do anything," Felix said as his voice shook in anger and his eye continued to twitch.

"Right," Anna said unconvinced. "Whatever you say."

With that she brushed past him and he just looked over his shoulder to watch her go up the stairs.

"She really needs to mind her own business," he muttered angrily when she was out of sight.

---------------

"I hope she doesn't hurt Brooke," Nathan said as he broke the silence that had overcome the room.

"You really think she would do that?" Jake asked incredulously. "I mean…she knows that Brooke is pregnant why would she hurt her?"

"Cause she's a evil bitch, that's why," he answered angrily.

Jake nodded before looking down at his shoes. "Well, I hope Haley and Jenny are okay," he mumbled.

"Hey do you think Nikki knows that Haley is pregnant?" Nathan asked suddenly.

"I don't know," Jake said. "I think if she did, she would have brought it up."

Nathan smirked. "I wouldn't worry, though. Haley may look like she's too good to fight but she could give a mean bitch slap when she wants to."

Jake laughed. "Yeah, I bet Brooke could too…hey what good would it do if we worry? It's obvious that we have no way of getting out of this hell hole, so it's just pointless…and I'm sure the girl's will be fine."

"So is it agreed that we shouldn't worry?" Nathan asked.

"Agreed," Jake said. "But what do we do now?"

"A game of 'I Spy'?" Nathan suggested with a raised eyebrow.

"You're on."

---------------

Chris knocked on Chase's door with Peyton next to him, still confused as hell.

Chase opened the door and looked at the two people in shock. "Chris? Peyton?"

"Hey ass-hat," he greeted, obviously still angry at his former friend. "I need to talk to you."

Chase nodded as he stepped onto the patio and closed the door behind him. He looked up at his friend and ex-interest. "What do you need?"

"Where did you get the clothes from?" he asked, going straight to business.

Chase was thrown off by the question, as was Peyton. "What do you mean?"

"The clothes you left at my house, where did you get it from?" he said.

"Oh," Chase said dumbfounded and nervous. "Um…Felix gave it to me."

"Okay then," and then Chris started to walk away, Peyton immediately following.

"Wait, that's it?!" Chase exclaimed he sighed frustratingly as he ran a hand through his hair. He then turned towards his door and grunted when he realized it was locked.

"Shit," he hissed under his breath before he banged the door and yelled, "Ma! I locked myself out again! Let me in! Please!"

---------------

"Haley," Brooke whined. "Come on."

"No," she pouted. "That was mean."

Lucas and Taylor were on the floor laughing, holding their stomaches.

"Oh…my…god," Taylor said, still laughing. "I can't…breath."

"Me…neither," Lucas laughed.

Brooke sent them a look that said 'not helping' but they ignored it and kept on laughing. So she rolled her eyes and looked back at Haley who was occupying herself with Jenny, who was still in between them.

"I'm sorry Hales," she said honestly.

"Yeah well, you should be," Haley mumbled.

"Remember what we promised each other when we were 12?" Brooke said, knowing Haley was about to forgive her.

"Yes," she mumbled. "But I was hoping you forgot."

"You said that no matter what one of us says or does, that we have to forgive each other, because

that's what real friends do."

"Fine," Haley relented. "You're forgiven, but that doesn't mean what you said was nice."

"I know," she smirked. "But you gotta admit you were asking for it."

"I'll admit to no such thing," Haley said with a smile.

"Whatever," Brooke laughed.

"So what do we do with those two idiots?" Haley asked as she looked at her sister and friend still on the floor and still laughing.

"Maybe they'll get bored," Brooke shrugged. "Or you know…with all that laughing, one them is gonna have to pee soon."

---------------

"Who's clothes did you use?" Chris asked as Felix opened the door.

Felix was surprised when he opened his door; he was planning on leaving when he opened it but it was like Chris and Peyton magically appeared.

"Um…" he said, scrunching his eyebrows at the question. "A friend's."

"Is she here?" Chris asked suspiciously.

Peyton just observed the conversation with interest, she saw no other choice since she still had no idea about what the hell was going on so she just went with flow.

Felix began to stutter. "Uh, yeah, I mean no, I mean…I don't think so."

"Is she here or not?" he said impatiently.

"She's not!" Felix said quickly as he walked out of his house and closed the door behind him. "Now if you'll excuse me, I have some place to be."

Chris and Peyton watched him walk by.

"So why all of this?" she asked, referring to all the questioning.

"I just have a bad feeling," Chris answered.

"About what?"

He sighed. "Let me tell you about Rachel Gatina."

---------------

Lucas walked into the kitchen sneakily; he didn't even bother to turn on the lights.

He smiled mischievously when he saw the cookie jar through the darkness.

He walked up to it and rubbed his hands eagerly and added playfully, "Excellent."

Right when he stuck his hand in the jar, the lights turned on.

"A-ha!" Taylor said with Jenny in her arms. "I caught you red handed!"

"Ooh…busted," the little girl giggled.

Lucas opened his mouth, an excuse ready to come out but he stopped when he heard a big 'thump' which caused Taylor and Jenny to jump in fright.

"What was that?" Taylor asked.

"I don't know," Lucas said. "Maybe Haley and Brooke dropped something."

Just then a familiar scream sounded throughout the house.

"Ahhh!"

Then madness ensued.
