Chapter 5

Disclaimer: I own nothing…

AN: Thanks for all your reviews. You guys are awesome, I came home from work and checked my email…and I had like 6…which is kinda amazing, seeing as I don't get many reviews. And all of them were great, and thanks for some more title suggestions. I'm going to have a vote. Some of them are songs, and some aren't. But look for the voting in probably the next chapter.

There will be no future flashes in this one…it'll all be senior year.

On with the story…

Thanksgiving

"Okay, so we're all going to your house for Turkey Day?" Brooke asked Luke.

"Yea, that's the plan," he told her.

"We'll be a little late, we have dinner with my family, and then we'll be at your house, Dan has some kind of psychotic lapse where he's actually nice to people. But it's only on Thanksgiving. By Christmas, it's worn off, and my mom drowns herself in booze. It's always a festive holiday at the Scott house," Nate said, sarcastically.

"Yea, so you guys just come by after dinner, for dessert, and we can all hang out," Luke said.

"Excuse us guys, Haley and I have to talk," Brooke said, walking away, giving her boyfriend a peck on the lips.

"What's so important Brooke?"

"Nothing, I just didn't want to hear about Thanksgiving anymore. It's not my favorite holiday."

"Why, cause your parent's aren't here?" she asked.

"No, are you kidding me, I'm glad they're off in California," she said. Brooke's parent's moved to California after her father got a new job there. Letting Brooke stay in Tree Hill for her Senior Year, not wanting her to have to make new friends and then leave again.

"Didn't you know, if a holiday doesn't come with presents for Brooke, it's not a good holiday?" a girls voice asked from down the hall.

All Brooke could do was nod with a big smile on her face.

"Of course, how could I forget? You're Brooke Davis, if there isn't something in it for you, it's not fun," said Haley sarcastically.

"Oh, now you just make me seem shallow."

"Now where would we get the idea that you were shallow?" Payton asked rhetorically.

"Hey Pey, Haley, Brooke," a guy said, coming to put his arms around his girlfriend.

"Jake, how are you today?" Brooke asked.

"I'm good Brooke, how are you. Didn't go off accusing anyone else of cheating now did we?" he asked.

"No, jerk. Shut up, I went temporarily insane, and did something I shouldn't have," she said, talking about more than just her fight with Peyton, "I'm sorry P. Sawyer, it'll never happen again, I promise," she said, hugging her best friend, looking at the hurt look on Jake's face.

"It's okay Brooke, I know it was a mistake. I'm sorry for acting that way to begin with," she said returning the hug, "Well I'm off to class, shall we Luke?"

"Yep, see ya later guys. Brooke, I love you," he said kissing his girlfriend. The first real kiss in awhile.

"I love you, too. See ya later," she said, "well I'm off too." And with that she was down the hall, trying her best to avoid Jake.

"Brooke, wait up. Later guys," Jake called out, "Brooke, hey, will you just STOP!" he exclaimed.

"What Jake? What do you want? I'm going to be late for class," she whined.

"Since when did you care about class?" he joked.

"Not funny Jake," she said, while tapping her foot impatiently.

"Fine, go to class, come by my house tonight, I figure that's as good of a place as any," he said.

"Can't, I'm hanging out with Luke tonight," she replied.

"Brooke, please?"

"Fine, tomorrow, before school. You can pick me up, we'll talk then," she said, walking into her class, Jake not even getting a chance to reject the offer, or rather yet, demand.

"Sure," he said, defeated, walking towards his own class.

"Wonder what's up with them?" asked Haley, down the hall, having seen the whole thing.

"Who knows, they have some messed up drama. They're like this freaky love square," Nate remarked.

"Yea, good thing we don't have that kind of drama, huh?" Haley asked, quite amused by Nate's last remark.

"Yea, good," he said, leaning over to kiss her, "okay let's go, class time."

"Let's go," Haley said, grabbing his hand, walking towards their class.

After the bell had rung, a lonely guy walked down the hall, stopping in front of the office.

"Hi, I'm here to see the principle," he said to the secretary.

"Name?" she asked.

"Scott Jones," he said, uncertain.

Looking through her records, "Ah, yes. Have a seat, he'll be right with you," she said.

"Thanks," he said, walking over to a seat.

"Mrs. Anderson," a voice came from the door.

"Ms. Davis, we need to set up a date for the meeting, for formal preparations. The Principal wants to talk to you," she said.

"Okay," Brooke said, taking a seat.

"Hi," the guy next to her said.

"Hey," she said right back, not really interested.

"You're the girl from the street," he said.

"Excuse me?" she asked, slightly freaked out and confused.

"Sorry, I saw you walking down the street the other week," he defended himself.

"Oh, okay. I'm sorry, but are you new here?" she asked.

"Yea, today's the first day. How could you tell?" he asked.

"You look really nervous," she said, "Well, I'm Brooke, and student body president, so if you need anything, just ask."

"Thanks, a tour would be great," he said, "also, my names A-, Scott," he said, catching himself.

"Hi Scott, nice to meet you," she said.

"You, too."

"Mr. Jones, the principal will see you now," the secretary said. And he got up and went in the room, but not before mumbling a bye to Brooke.

"Mrs. Anderson, do you think I could talk to the principal after school?"

"Sure Brooke, I'll tell him that's when you're coming."

"Thanks," Brooke said leaving the office, walking back to class.

Lucas was daydreaming in class. He really couldn't concentrate on anything.

Flashback-the night of Brooke and Peyton's fight.

"We can't do this anymore Luke, Brooke thinks something's going on," Peyton said.

"Who cares Peyton, I don't care about her anymore."

"Yes, you do, you love her Luke, you can't just give that up," she told him.

"I don't love her, I love you," he said, grabbing her.

"NO. Okay, we can't do this, not anymore. Her friendship means the world to me. And Jake, I can't do that to Jake," she said, starting to cry.

"Peyton, this is our chance to be together. Don't give up on this," he said, grabbing her face. "Look at me Peyton, we can do this, we just tell them that our feelings changed. Okay?"

"Luke," she whispered. He leaned in and kissed her. She kissed him back. Soon things got out of control; he put his hands at her waste, under her shirt moving up. Soon her shirt was gone, and she untucked his, unbuttoning the buttons. He reached for her belt buckle, undoing it.

"No, Luke stop. I can't do this," Peyton said pulling away, "You should go."

"Fine, but this isn't over," Luke said.

"Yea it is Luke, I'm done hurting the ones I love."

He just left. Walked down the stairs, out the door, fixed his shirt and ran his hand through his shirt, not noticiting his girlfriend watching the whole thing.

End Flashback

"Mr. Scott, are you with us?" the teacher asked.

"Yea, sorry Mr. Knight," he said, still distracted.

"It's fine, just don't let it happen again," he said, returning to his teaching.

And once again, Luke was daydreaming about him and Peyton.

Okay, so there it is…Hope you guys liked it. There will be leyton action, but they will not be together in the end. Yes Broke was right, and some things from previous chapters will be mentioned again.

Next Chapter…which will be written probably tomorrow…

Brooke and Jake will have their talk

More flashbacks and flashfowards

More Naley action, I promise. Seeing as how Haley will learn a lot of things about her best friends…

Now I'm spoiling you too much…just leave a review, with more suggestions….thank you
