CHAPTER 4 Christmas Party!

Peyton was half awake and Brooke was jumping through the room.

"C'mon honey, get up!" she said to Peyton.

"No, five more minutes." Peyton said with a yawn.

"No way. It's already 1 o'clock! Get your God damn butt out of the God damn bed!" Brooke laughed. "It's Christmas today!" Brooke jumped on the bed en laid down next to Peyton.

"Merry Christmas, P. Sawyer." she said.

"Merry Christmas, B. Davis." Peyton answered.

They gave eachother a very passionate kiss.

"Now." Brooke started to say when she got up. "You get your butt out of the bed and get dressed. We're gonna go to rivercourt till the party."

"Fine." Peyton said while she got up.

"Oh, by the way, party starts at 4. Then we give the presents." Brooke said.

A few minutes later Peyton came down in a jeans and a shirt with 'Bite me' on the back.

"Sounds tempty." Brooke said while looking on Peytons back. They both laugh. "Common." They went to rivercourt.

Lucas, Nathan and Haley were already there.

"Hey." Haley said as she saw Brooke and Peyton aproaching. They had linked arms.

"Hi." Brooke said.

"Don't they ever stop?" Peyton laughed as she saw that Lucas and Nathan were playing basketball.

"Nope, every time they come here, they bring a basketball." Haley said.

Peyton and Brooke laughed, but Brooke didn't look at Lucas and also Peyton was avoiding him. They sat next to Haley and watched the boys play basketball. They talked about the party.

"What time is it?" Peyton asked.

"3:15." Brooke said.

"I think we're gonna have to get going." Haley said.

"Yeah you're right." Brooke answered.

"Nathan, Lucas! We're gonna leave!" Haley yelled.

Nathan and Lucas came running towards them.

"Okay, let the party begin." Nathan said while giving his wife a kiss.

There were a lot of people on the party when Brooke, Peyton, Haley, Nathan and Lucas arrived.

"Why is Lucas even here." Brooke whispered in Peyton's ear. "And why was he on rivercourt?"

"Because Haley and Nathan invited him." Peyton whispered back. "And Karen is Lucas' mother.

Haley took a glass and asked everyone's attention. Brooke and Peyton were sitting on the couch, Nathan was standing next to them with Lucas by his side.

"Can I have your attention please?" Haley asked. The crowd was quiet. "I would like to make a toast. A toast on Christmas and whatever is ahead of us in the futere." People smiled. Haley continued her toast. "We all had our bad days and our good days. Most of us have a great husband. Or wife for the boys." Now people laughed. "But the most important thing of this year was the friendship. Love might die, but friendship never dies. I mean, look at Brooke and Peyton. Brooke left and Peyton was a total mess, no offence."

"None taken." Peyton said with a smile on her face.

"Now Brooke's back and they're best friend again. Better than we might even know. So, I just wanna toast to friendship 'cause that's the most important thing in the whole wild world." Haley finished her toast. She held her glass of champagne in the air. "To friendship."

"To friendship." sounded it in unision.

"Oh there's one more thing." Haley said while looking at Brooke and Peyton. "I just said that love might die... but there's one love that never dies. It's a special love and I don't think anyone can understand how special it is." The people were quiet again. "I have a little surprise." She walked towards Peyton and Brooke.

"What the..." Peyton and Brooke said together.

"Truth or dare?" Haley asked Peyton.

"Eh, tuth." Peyton said carefully.

"Are you in love with someone in this room?" Haley asked.

"The truth, right?" Peyton said with a smile. Haley smiled too. "Yes. Yes I am." Haley smiled again and turned to Brooke. "Truth or dare?"

"Why? Why me? Isn't it Peyton's time to ask..."

"Truth or Dare?" Haley cut off Brooke's sentence.

"Dare." Brooke said very carefully.

"Now here's my point. " Haley said towards the people. She turned back to Brooke. "I dare you to kiss Peyton." While she said that Lucas came towards Haley and stood next to her. Brooke and Peyton looked at eachother and then Brooke kissed Peyton on the lips right in front of everyone. "One love never dies." She smiled as she looked at Brooke and Peyton. Lucas ran away.

Brooke stood up.

"Let's give the presents!" she yelled. Everyone cheered. Brooke took a box out of her purse and gave it to Peyton. She opened it and a beautiful necklace was visible. It was a half heart with a B.

"Oh Brooke. It's beautiful! Where's the other half?" Peyton said. Brooke took the necklace she was wearing and showed it. It was a half heart with a P.

"I'm wearing it." she said. Brooke took the necklace. "Turn around." Peyton turned around and allowed Brooke to put the necklace arount her neck. She turned back around.

"I love you." Peyton said.

"I love you too." Brooke responded followed by a kiss.

"I don't have a present for you that you can hold." Peyton said. "I have a present for you that you have to listen to." Brooke was surprised. Peyton got up the stage. "I wrote you a song."

"You don't have any music." Brooke said confused.

"Oh, yes I do." Peyton said. "Hales..." Haley came up the stage with a guitar in her hand. "She helped me a little." Haley gave her a look. "Okay, a lot." She laughed. "I'm not a good singer so don't laugh." Haley started to play on her guitar and Peyton started to sing.

When I look at you

I feel love

When you hold me in your arms

I feel safe

When you kiss me

I feel warmth

I need you when I'm alone

I can't live without you

Don't ever leave me

Don't ever go

Stay with me forever

Don't leave my side

I love you with all my heart

That will never change

Before Peyton could sing the rest of her song, Brooke kissed her.

"That's so beautiful!" she said. She had tears of luck. Peyton smiled. They kissed again.

The presents were all unpacked after an hour. A slow started to play. The music was so loud that you could here it outside. Brooke looked outside and saw that it was snowing. She took Peyton by the hand and led her outside.

"What are you doing?" Peyton asked.

"Going outside in the snow." Brooke said as they were standing in the snow. White drops fell on the ground and on their hair. The crowd followed them outside.

"Are you kidding?" Peyton asked. "It's freakin' cold."

Brooke wrapped her arms around Peyton and pulled her close to her body. She started to slow with Peyton.

"Better?" Brooke asked.

"Much better." Peyton said. She placed her head on Brooke's shoulder and closed her eyes. Brooke gave Peyton a kiss on her forehead and closed her eyes too. Haley smiled, took Nathan by the hand and led him 'till they were next to Peyton and Brooke. Haley put her arms around Nathan's neck and they started to slow too. Soon everyone else followed their example.

"I love you. I love you so much." Peyton whispered.

"I love you to P." Brooke said. She lifted Peyton's head and kissed her. The snow fell down on them. They were kissing in the snow.
