Chapter 5 – Confrontations

As soon as the three little words had escaped Brooke's mouth, she turned around and ran, ignoring the shouts from her friends. Running into Chuck's suite, she covered her face as she burst into tears. Upon hearing the door opened, she looked up to see Blair, Chuck, Nate, Dean and Sam entering, closely followed by Serena, Lucas, Haley, Peyton, Nathan and Mouth. Chuck and Blair ran over to Brooke and threw their arms around her trying to calm her down.

"Who the hell are you guys?" Dean shouted starring at the new faces.

"We're her friends. Or we were supposed to be." Haley said bitterly. Before Dean could reply, Sam butted in knowing that his brother was about to loose it.

"Who are you?" Nathan looked at the boy and glanced at Brooke.

"I'm Nathan, this is my wife Haley, brother Lucas, Peyton and Mouth. We're friends of Brooke's from Tree Hill." Upon hearing this, Chuck stood up and walked towards them.

"You've got some fucking nerve." He hissed staring directly at Lucas. Before the blonde could respond, all eyes fell on Brooke as she stood up.

"Chuck don't, please." Chuck nodded warily and backed down, but only a little.

"What are you guys doing here?" Brooke asked looking at them with watery eyes.

"What did you expect Brooke? That we'd just let you leave? You didn't even say goodbye! You just left us letters!" Haley shouted.

"I couldn't Hales. I didn't know what to do."

"Oh well that just makes it okay then! How do you think we felt when we went to check up on you to find your house empty!"

"Look I'm sorry okay! My mom wanted me to leave so I did! I couldn't stay there any longer Haley! You had no idea what I was going through!"

By this time, everyone else had gone quiet, just listening to the two girls arguing. Dean, Sam, Nate and Blair looked confused, wondering what was going to happen and what they were on about, whereas Chuck looked worried and Serena tried to hide a smirk that was forming on her lips.

"Guys calm down! We didn't come her to argue, we came here to talk!" Nathan argued trying to stop the fighting from going on.

"No Nathan leave them to it. We deserve to know why Brooke left and this is the only way we're going to find out." Mouth said. Brooke looked at him, the hurt evident in her eyes.

"I don't need to explain anything to you! Things happened, I left!"

"Brooke we all went through a lot! I know that what you went through was horrible! For God's sake you were shot! But at least you lived! Keith died!" The New Yorker's eye's widened at the new information and they looked at Brooke.

"Haley! That's enough! She knows Uncle Keith died! She was at the funeral!" Nathan hollered raising his voice for the first time. Haley backed down at this and took her husband's hand in hers.

"Brooke, I thought we were best friends? You didn't even leave me a letter. Or Lucas. He was your boyfriend. You just left him a message breaking up with him. Why?" This time it was Peyton to speak up. Everyone noticed the look of hatred and pain on Brooke's face as she looked at the girl in front of her.

"My best friend?" Brooke hissed taking a step closer. "You were never my best friend! I forgave you both the first time you were seeing each other behind my back. I gave you both another chance!" Turning to Lucas, with tears streaming down her cheeks, Brooke continued, "You told me you were busy looking after your mom! That she needed your help dealing with Keith's death! I came over to see if I could help and I catch the two of you having sex!" At this point, all eyes were on Lucas and Peyton.

"Brooke…I…" Before she could continue, Brooke slapped Peyton hard across the face. Peyton put her hand on her cheek where a red mark was appearing.

"Don't you dare! Don't you dare try to make excuses to make yourself feel better! You are a two-faced backstabbing bitch Peyton Sawyer and you know it!" Blair decided that know was definitely time to step in as she took hold of Brooke's hand and led her away from her so called friends. Dean stepped forward with his fists clenched and looked Lucas straight in the eye.

"You son of a bitch." Was all he said bore he's knocked Lucas to the floor with a right hook to the cheek. Getting on top of him and hitting him again, Brooke screamed his name, but he couldn't hear her. Sam stood above Dean and grabbed his arm, motioning to Nathan to give him a hand. Reluctantly, Nathan obliged, and the two managed to pull the fuming Winchester off of the eldest Scott. Just because Lucas was his brother, didn't mean that Nathan was going to stick up for Lucas on this one. He royally screwed up, again. And he deserved the punches. Everyone turned round as Blair began banging on the bathroom door and shouting Brooke's name.

"What happened?" Dean asked running over to the door.

"After Sam and Nathan pulled you off of Lucas she ran in. She locked the door and won't open it." Blair responded as tears began to form in her eyes.

"Brooke. I'm sorry okay. I got angry. Come out please." Dean begged.

"No! All of you just go away! I want to be alone."

"Right! Everyone downstairs now! Blair and Nathan stay here. Try and get her to come out." Everyone agreed and left except for Nathan and Blair.

"How do we get her to come out, and why did Chuck get you to stay?" Blair asked. Nathan glanced at the door and then at Blair.

"Did Brooke tell you what happened in Tree Hill?"

"No. I knew something had happened. She's been having nightmares every night and she can't sleep by herself, but I was waiting for her to tell me."

"Did she tell Chuck?" Blair looked at Nathan and shook her head.

"No. Chuck would of told me." Nathan and Blair turned toward the bathroom door as it clicked open.

"I did tell Chuck. That's why he told Nate to stay." Blair looked at them both confused.

"Nathan saved my life. He carried me out of the school after I got shot." Blair's tears began to fall freely down her cheeks as she grabbed Nathan and hugged him, mumbling thank you's through her tears.

After an hour of explaining what had happened and the two girls crying, Brooke, Nathan and Blair made their way back downstairs. Thankfully, the party had ended and the rest of the gang were waiting at the bar. As soon as they entered the bar, Dean ran up to Brooke and hugged her.

"Why didn't you tell us?"

"I couldn't. I didn't know how." Dean smiled at Brooke and kissed the top of her head.

"Brooke, I'm sorry. I shouldn't have shouted at you like that. I was just upset. You're my best friend Tigger. I miss you." Haley stated as she wrapped her arms around Brooke.

"Oh Tutorgirl. I miss you too. I'm sorry I left without a proper goodbye…I just couldn't deal with it all."

Brooke, Blair, Chuck, Dean, Sam, Nate, Haley, Mouth and Nathan spent the rest of the night in Chuck's suite talking and getting to know one another. Serena had left not long after the drama had stopped, and Peyton and Lucas left to catch an earlier flight back to Tree Hill, knowing they were no longer welcome in the presence of Brooke Davis.

"Haley, can I ask you something?" Blair looked at the girl as she spoke.

"Sure Blair, what's on your mind?"

"How did you know where Brooke was and how did you get invites to the party? Me and Brooke were the ones who did them and we didn't send them."

"I got a letter through the post with the invites. It hasn't got a name on the end though. Here." Haley fished into her pockets and pulled out a piece of white paper. Blair and Brooke looked at the letter and studied the writing.

"That little bitch!" Brooke hissed.

"What? Do you know who it's from?" Dean asked, walking over and looking at the letter. Blair glanced at everyone's faces and threw the letter to the floor.

"Serena Van der Woodsen."

Well, from what I hear, Princess B left the party early after seeing the five strangers. Not only that, but she didn't return all night. Who were these mysterious people? What happened up in Bass' suite? I'm sure I'll find out soon.
