CHAPTER 3 Ready to tell the world

Lucas could leave the hospital after two days. Brooke saw him sitting in the park. She walked up to him and sat next to him.

"Hi, honey." he said. He leaned in to kiss her, but Brooke stopped him. "What's wrong?"

"Look, I know you're just out of the hospital, but..." she was quiet for a moment. "I wanna break up."

"What? Why?" Lucas asked.

"I'm in love with someone else." Brooke got back on her feet. "I guess I just wanted to be with you to deny my feelings, but no I know that that person loves me too, there's no reason why I should deny it any longer." she started to walk away.

"Wait!" Lucas yelled, while he got back on his feet. "I think I at least deserve to know who it is that you're in love with."

"You'll find out on Karen's party tomorrow." Brooke said over her shoulder.

Brooke went to Peyton's house.

"I broke up with Lucas." she said when Peyton opened the door.

"Really?" Peyton asked with a smile. "So, I guess it's official then. C'mon in girlfriend." They both laughed when they headed towards the bedroom.

"So, wanna go to Karen's party with me tomorrow?" Peyton asked as she sat on the bed.

"I hate you." Brooke said while sitting next to Peyton.

"Huh, why?" Peyton asked confused.

"I was gonna ask that." Brooke said with a fake sad face.

Peyton laughed. "Allright, you ask."

"Convince me." Brooke smiled.

"Okay, If you don't ask me then I won't kiss you today." Peyton joked.

"Allright, I'm convinced." Brooke laughed. "Wanna go to Karen's party with me?"

"Ofcourse." Peyton smiled.

"Now." Brooke said. "I think I deserved a kiss don't I?"

Peyton smiled and leaned in to Brooke, kissing her on the lips. They fell backwards on the bed. Peyton's tongue lightly touched Brooke lips, asking for entrance. Brooke was suprised but opened her mouth a little. Their tongues masaged eachother for a minute while it seemed a century. They broke the kiss.

"Suprised?" Peyton smiled.

"Yeah." Brooke said. "I thought you said you weren't ready for a first french kiss."

"Yeah, well I wasn't, but I love you so much that I couldn't wait any longer." Peyton said.

"I love you too." Brooke smiled.

"I even think I"m ready to tell the world." Peyton said.

"Me too." Brooke said while she looke at the time. "Oh, damn!" She jumped off the bed. "C'mon! We're late for school!"

"School?" Peyton asked. "Oh school! Since when does Brooke Davis wants to go to school."

Brooke laughed.

Brooke and Peyton were walking to their lockers as Lucas came up to them.

"Hi Peyton, hi honey." He said. He wanted to kiss Brooke but then he felt Brooke's hand on his mouth.

"What are you doing?" she asked.

"Kissing my girlfriend." he said.

"I'm not you girlfriend anymore. I broke up with you this morning." Brooke answered.

"No Brooke, we're still a couple." Lucas said while he grabbed Brooke by her wrists so she couldn't push him away. He wanted to kiss her when suddenly Peyton pushed Lucas away.

"No you're not." she said.

"Stay out of this." It's none of your business." Lucas snapped at Peyton.

"Maybe you're forgotten that Brooke is my best friend, so it is my business. Now, will you go away or do I have to kick you somewhere you don't like it?" Peyton asked very seriously.

"You wouldn't do that. You love me." Lucas laughed.

"Try me." Peyton said.

Lucas pushed Peyton out of his way and pressed his lips aganst Brooke's while pushing her against the lockers. He touched Brooke's lips with his tongue for entrance but Brooke didn't give it. She kept her mouth closed.

"Hey!" Peyton yelled. She pulled on Lucas' shoulder which caused him to turn around. "I wasn't kidding about what I'm gonna do." she gave Lucas a hard kick with her knee right between the legs. Lucas fell on the ground from the pain.

Peyton placed her arm around Brooke's shoulder. "are you okay?"

"Yeah, I'm fine. Thank you." Brooke said while placing her arm around Peyton's waist. They started to walk to the next class. "I'm sorry about the kiss. I really didn't wanna kiss him."

"Don't be sorry. I know you didn't wanna kis him. Otherwise you should've opened your mouth but you didn't. By the way, Lucas forces you to kiss him, so it's deffinetly not your fault." Peyton said. She watched if nobody could see them and gave Brooke a quick kiss on the lips. Brooke smiled.

"Hey I saw that!" Brooke and Peyton turned around quickly. Haley just walked around the corner. "So, you guys finally told eachother."

"Yeah, we're toghether for three days now." Peyton said.

"Three days? And you didn't tell me!" Haley said. "Not nice."

They knew Haley wasn't really mad.

"You need to work on you acting, Hales." Brooke laughed.

Haley and Peyton laughed too.

"So, when did you guys plan on telling the rest?" Haley asked.

"Tomorrow on Karen's party. We're just gonna act like every other couple. We're not gonna hide anything." Peyton said.

"Well, I have a good way to tell." Haley said.

"And that way is?" Brooke asked curiously.

"You'll see." Haley said while she ran to class.

"Hey!" Brooke yelled. "Don't you run away from me!" She ran after Haley.

"Brooke!" Peyton yelled. "Don't be so curious!" But Brooke was already in class with Haley. Peyton shook her head and laughed. She went to class too.
