The next night the gang, including John but not Felix, decided to go to another club since they hadn't really been doing anything special during the day so they decided that they should do it then instead. Plus, they were in Vegas so they might as well party, right?
When everyone had gotten their party clothes on, they left and went to the hot new club they had heard much about.
"They weren't kidding when they said that the club was going to be big, were they?" Brooke said.
"Guess not…" Lucas said and looked around. He saw people dancing and getting drunk everywhere and some band playing, who actually weren't half bad. A little loud maybe…
"Do you think we could go somewhere else?" Haley said. "I'm getting a headache from the music."
"We just got here," Peyton pointed out.
"So? Can't we just go and do something else?"
"What do you say?" Nathan said, looking at the group. "Should we bring Haley out of her misery?"
"Why not?" Brooke said. "There's always tomorrow, right?"
"No, there won't be," Haley said. "I mean, there will be a tomorrow obviously but not here."
"Let's just go…"
Since none of them knew the city well enough, they gang just walked around for a while. In the front there was John and Peyton arm in arm, Nathan and Haley beside them holding hands and of course Brooke and Lucas in the back making out while walking. After walking for about 15 minutes Peyton suddenly stopped in front of a small café looking hurt, confused and angry all at the same time which John noticed.
"Peyton, are you okay?" he asked but she didn't answer, she just stood there.
"What's going on, why did we stop?" Brooke asked since she was too busy with Lucas to know what was going on.
"Peyton?" Haley said, trying to get her friend's attention.
"Jake…" was all Peyton could say.
"What? Where?"
Peyton pointed towards the small café and that was when the others saw a very familiar face through the window. Jake. And he wasn't alone either.
"Oh my God…" Brooke said.
"What's going on? What are you looking at?" John asked slightly annoyed and confused as hell.
"You see that guy with the blue t-shirt and jeans talking to that girl over there?" Haley asked. John nodded. "That's Jake."
""And that is?
"A friend and Peyton's ex."
"Oh…"
"What is he doing here?" Peyton asked to no one special.
"I don't know, Peyt…" Haley started. "Maybe you should go in there and talk to him?"
"I can't do that…"
"Sure you can…"
Just then Jake and the girl of his came out of the café and walked directly towards Peyton and the others.
"I need to get out of here…" Peyton said and turned around when Jake spoke.
"Peyton?"
"Hi…" she said and turned around again and slightly smiled, putting on a brave face.
"What are you doing here?"
"I could ask you the same thing."
"I'm just here for a vacation…sort of…"
"Yeah, me too…"
"Hey guys!" Jake greeted the others.
"Hey man," Lucas said and came to shook his hand, as did Nathan. Brooke and Haley both gave him a slight hug.
"So where's Jenny? Peyton asked, not seeing the little girl she loved so much.
"We left her with her nanny for the evening."
"We?"
"Oh, sorry. This is Gina. Gina these are my friends Peyton, Lucas, Haley, Nathan, Brooke and…you I don't know," Jake said referring to John.
"I'm John, Peyton's…date," he said and held out his hand which Jake took.
"It's nice to meet you."
"You too."
"Is Gina your…date?" Peyton asked.
"Does it matter?"
"You tell me…"
"Maybe we should talk…"
"About what?" Peyton said coldly. "You've found someone else."
"Maybe we should leave you guys alone…" Brooke said.
"Yeah…We'll see you later man," Lucas told Jake and left with Brooke, Nathan and Haley. "John, are you coming?"
"You can go," Peyton said. "I'll be right there, I just need to talk to Jake for a bit." With that John left with the others leaving Peyton, Jake and Gina behind.
"So…" Gina said. "This is kind of awkward…I'm Gina," she said and held out her hand.
"I figured," Peyton said without talking her hand.
"Jake told me about you...You're prettier then he gave you credit for…"
"Thanks…" Peyton said and looked at the girl. She had long brown hair, she was a little shorter then her, looked like she was in her early twenties and she was wearing a short skirt and a top. And she was also very beautiful, unfortunately…
"Gina, you mind giving us a minute?" Jake said.
"Of course not. I'll just go and wait in the café…" she said and walked back inside.
"You wanted to talk, so talk," Peyton said when neither of them said anything for a while.
"I'm sorry. I didn't want you to find out this way."
"It's none of my business…"
"But it is."
"No, it's not. We're not together anymore so of course you found someone new…I'm just a little surprised about the girl you chose…"
"What's that supposed to mean?" Jake asked, slightly annoyed by her comment.
"Nothing. She's just doesn't seem like your type…" Peyton said and when she heard her own words she knew that Jake had heard it the way she had…Like she was jealous.
"Then what is my type?"
"Not her…"
"So that guy you were here with…John…he's your type?"
"He could be."
"You don't sound that convinced…"
"You know what? Who I see is none of your business, just like who you see is none of mine so let's just leave it at that," Peyton said and started to walk away.
"Peyton wait!"
"What?"
"Look…This is not the time or the place to talk so could you please just meet me for lunch tomorrow?"
"I don't know if that's such a great idea…"
"Please…"
"Fine. Just text me the details and I'll see you then."
With that Peyton walked away, leaving Jake just as confused as she was…
There you have it, another chapter. Hope you liked it. Since I brought Jake into this fic I was wondering who you thought Peyton should be with...Should it be Jeyton or John&Peyton? Also I am soon running out of ideas so if you have any and you would be willing to share them with me then that would be great...I was thinking that an other couple was going to get some problems later on, maybe naley so tell me what you think about that. Please review! Until next time!
