Coming Clean
By: Musical Schizophrenia A.K.A. Libby
It had been a month since the first tutoring session in the café and both Brooke and Haley were deliriously happy. They finally had each other and Brooke was doing better in school. Haley still wasn't ready to tell everybody but knew some people had to know. Brooke had been great about honoring Haley's wish to keep them a secret but she was getting a little antsy about it so she was ecstatic when Haley said she was ready to tell a few people.
"Hey Tigger? Can we talk?"
"Yeah Tutor Girl we can talk about anything." Brooke replied a little nervous.
"I think we should tell Lucas and Peyton about us. They're our best friends."
"I couldn't agree more. I think Peyton knows though. She may be blonde but it's a bottle job." She said making Haley laugh. "So when do we tell Lucas?"
"Can we do it now before I lose my nerve?" Haley asked. "I mean we already know that Peyton will be okay with it."
"Yeah come on it'll be okay. Just remember whatever happens, no matter how he reacts, you have me no matter what. Okay? I love you."
Haley froze she hadn't expected that. She looked Brooke in the eye and she could see the love and the fear of rejection. Then she smiled, kissed Brooke and said, "I love you, too."
"So let's go. We'll tell Super Star together and then we'll tell Peyton."
When they got to Lucas' house Brooke squeezed Haley's hand. "I'll be right there with you, Hales, you don't have to worry."
"Thanks, come on better sooner than later." Haley knocked on the door.
"Hey Haley! Brooke?" Lucas said growing extremely confused.
"Hey Lucas. Can we come in?" Haley asked.
"Oh yeah right come in." he said stumbling over himself. "So uh… what's up?"
"Luke can you sit down?"
"Okay. Sitting so what's up?"
Brooke and Haley looked at each other. Haley took a breath. "Lucas I have something to tell you."
"Haley what is it you're worrying me."
"I'm—I like girls. Luke I'm gay."
"Well at least I don't have to worry about you and Nathan anymore."
"There's more Luke." Haley said.
"Haley and I have been dating for a month." Brooke said.
"Why didn't you tell me Hales?" Lucas asked.
"I was scared. I mean it's not something that everyone's okay with. God Luke it took years before I quit trying to convince myself it was just a phase."
"Alright. I'm proud of you and I'll protect you. You are my sister in love nothing can change that."
"Thanks Lucas I love you too." Haley said giving him a hug.
"Aww, you guys that's so sweet." Brooke said.
"So who else knows?"
"You and Peyton unofficially." Brooke answered.
"Brooke as a best friend I'm telling you to be good to her, if you hurt Haley an old friend of mine and Haley's has wanted to kick your ass since freshman year I'll let her loose on you, understand?"
"Yes, Lucas I understand, but I won't hurt her and it's good to know that you won't hit a girl."
"He'll hit a girl so long as it's me or Taylor."
"We were kids!" Lucas exclaimed.
"And what are we now?"
"Young adults."
"That went well," Brooke said as they walked to the car.
"Yeah I don't know why I was so worried."
"His opinion is the one that maters most to you. If he hated you for who you are it would crush you. It's the same for me with Peyton. She has been the only constant in my life. When I told her I was so terrified I cried the entire time." Brooke revealed.
"But it worked out,"
"Yeah it did, we're closer now because of it, knowing that no matter what happens I'll always have her to make me realize when I'm being an idiot and to kick my ass back in line. Totally the best sister I could have asked for."
"We got lucky with our best friends. Tighter than blood."
"Yeah we did."
"Hey P. Sawyer stop with the freaky drawings I have something to tell you."
"Alright B. Davis. Hi Haley."
"Hey Peyton."
"What are you going to tell me?"
"Haley and I are together."
"I knew that but thanks for the confirmation. Haley this is in the best friend contract but… she's my best friend you break her heart, I break your face. I'm really happy for you guys."
"Thanks Missy Blonde Girl." Brooke said causing Peyton to roll her eyes.
"Has she tagged you with a nickname yet?"
"Tutor Girl." Haley answered. "I call her Tigger."
"I like it. It works well for when she's acting like a four year old." Haley teased.
"My girlfriend and my best friend are supposed to be nice to me!" Brooke whined.
"Case and point." Peyton laughed.
"Aww we love you, Baby. Don't we Peyton?"
"She's absolutely right, Brookie Monster."
"Well I'm not Tutor Girl for nothing."
"You know I'm glad you get along, but could get along without making fun of me?" Brooke asked.
"We're sorry Brooke. We'll stop teasing you." Haley said.
"Thank you that's all I ask."
"For now." Peyton said to Haley.
"Hey you guys that's not funny I heard that!" Brooke exclaimed causing the other girls to laugh until they cried.
