'How did I know you were in this hotel?' Brooke asked. 'Next time you wanna run away, don't leave the flyer where I can find it. When I got her the man at the reception gave me you roomnumber.' Brooke threw the flyer on Peyton's lap. 'And I will explain later what I'm doing here.' She also threw the letter on Peyton's lap. 'I'm gonna read peaces of it and both you and me are gonna say what we think of it.'
Peyton was confused but didn't disagree. Brooke closed the door, sat next to Peyton on the bed and took the letter back. 'Let's start.'
'Now I know that you don't feel the same way, there's no reason for me to stay in Tree Hill. I decided to leave.' Brooke read from the letter.
'First of all, it says what it says, I had no reason to stay in Tree Hill.' Peyton said.
'Your dad.' Brooke simply said.
'He's hardly there.' Peyton walked to the closed and stood with her back to Brooke.
'Haley.'
'Mad at me for ruining Lucas' wedding.'
'Karen.'
'Also mad at me for ruining Lucas' wedding.'
'Nathan.'
'What do you think, he's on Haley's side.'
'Me.'
Peyton turned around so quickly that she it's unbelievable she didn't fall. 'What do you mean?'
'I mean, that I was a reason for you to stay in Tree Hill.' Peyton was gonna answer, but Brooke quickly turned back to the letter. 'I also don't want to cause anymore trouble between you and Lucas. I want you to be happy and that's not gonna work when I'm there. Because I can't be around you anymore.'
'Well, it is true.' Peyton said. 'I didn't want to cause anymore trouble.'
'Well, that was pretty impossible, 'cause you couldn't cause anymore trouble.' Brooke said. 'I thought you also asked why I did it at the time of your wedding. I simply said that the reason is that I love you. I tried to say it to you the day before the wedding, but I couldn't. You know I'm not good with feelings. You also asked why I kissed you instead of youst tell you. I couldn't get the words out of my mouth so I just had to show it. I don't want to hide anything from you, or Lucas, or Haley, or the world for that matter. So I thought that if I kissed you, everyone should know it and I wouldn't have to say it over and over again.'
'It's like I wrote, I'm not good with feelings. I just, I couldn't find the right words. I mean, I couldn't just say, "Hey Brooke, I'm in love with you, go have a wonderful wedding". You know it's hard for me to tell someone my true feelings, let alone I have to say them to my best friend.'
Brooke smiled. 'I know.' She gained tears in her eyes, but she didn't let them fall. Brooke continued. 'If I know you good enough, and trust me I do, then I think you're last question would be, and I quote: "Will I ever see you again?" I think you will, as soon as I'm ready to go back to Tree Hill. I hope this letter is an answer to all of your questions. If you read this letter, I will be on my plane to LA. Just so you know and that you're not knocking on my door after you've read this. Love Peyton.'
'I just...' Peyton started, but she was cut off by Brooke.
'No, this last part doesn't need an explanation from you, but from me. You were right, my first though as I read that you were going to LA was "Will I ever see you again?". After that I indeed go to your place and started knocking on your door. I couldn't believe you were really going to LA. I didn't kiss you back, because I was too surprised. After you took off, I called off the wedding.'
'You what?' Peyton was shocked to hear that Brooke had actually called off her wedding with Lucas. 'Brooke, this was your dreamwedding!'
'But not with the man of my dreams.' Brooke said as her tears finally fell down. 'You didn't give me the chance to respond, so I followed you because I finally know you love me too. Yeah Peyton I said "too". If you stayed long enough, I could say... I'm in love with you too P. Sawyer."
Peyton smiled and hugged Brooke. Their faces came closer, but suddenly Brooke's cell phone rang.
'What?' she asked sharp as she opened her cell.
'Where the hell are you?' Haley's voice was so loud that Peyton could here her question.
'In LA!' Brooke said as she quickly covered her mouth with her hand and mouthed sorry to Peyton who mouthed it's okay back.
'Brooke! I know Peyton is there too!' Haley yelled. 'Peyton, if you can here me, the next time I see you, I'm gonna make sure you can never stand again! I just...' Brooke closed her cell phone.
'Sorry about that.' She said. 'Maybe we should take things slow.'
'I totally agree.' Peyton said.
'I'm gonna take a shower.' Brooke smiled as she dissapeared in the bathroom.
After two hours they both sat with a towel around their body and hair on the bed. They were making a puzzle in a book. 'No, it has to be "noticed" not "notieced"' Brooke laughed as she pointed the place where Peyton wrote "notieced". Peyton laughed and corrected the word.
'I really like spending time together.' Peyton smiled.
'Me too.' Brooke said with a smile. Their faces came closer again and just as their lips were about to touch they heard Haley's voice.
'I can't believe this!' she yelled as she ran out and closed the door so hard that Peyton and Brooke though it was gonna fall out. Peyton and Brooke burried their head in their hands.
