Chapter 8
I own nothing…Chad owns himself, and Bryan owns himself, if only I could find a way to own them….
Thanks for all the reviews, and votes…there is yet again a 3 way tie, cause I decided to vote myself…I know, that's kinda contradictory, but I can't decide.
Anyway, on with the story…

RING RING
"Hello," answered a groggy voice.
"Peyton?" a girl asked.
"Yea?"
"Why are you answering my boyfriends cell phone?" asked an angry female.
"Brooke?" she asked sheepishly.
"Peyton, why are you on Lucas's phone?" she asked, trying to be calm about it.
"I may have taken it, instead of mine," she told her, her voice unstable.
"Peyton Elizabeth Sawyer, are you lying to me?"
"No, I swear, remember Brooke, on our friendship," Peyton told her.
"Who is it?" a male voice asked, groggily.
"Is that Luke?" Brooke asked.
"Brooke, no, it's Jake," she said on the phone.
"Really, cause I just talked to Jake, and I don't think he fell asleep in your bed 5 seconds after I talked to him at his house."
"Brooke, come on, it's nothing," Peyton said. And then a door opened.
"Nothing, really?" she asked, seeing them in bed, completely naked.
Peyton snapped the phone shut. "Brooke it's not what it looks like," she explained.
"Really, cause it looks like you were sleeping with my boyfriend. Is that not what it is. Am I in some whacked mind, dreaming this up?" she asked incredously.
"Brooke, we're really sorry," Luke started explaining.
"I don't care about sorry anymore Luke, you've been cheating on me. With my best friend, who swore on our friendship that nothing was going on. Some friend you are," she cried to Peyton.
"Brooke, I didn't mean for this to happen, I really didn't" Peyton cried right back.
"You should've thought of that before you slept with my boyfriend, bitch," she told her.
"Brooke, I'm not a bitch," Peyton told her.
"I don't care anymore, we're done Luke, and Peyton?" she asked, "I hate you, never talk to me again," and with that, she ran from the house, running to the one she just came from.
"Brooke, what's wrong?" Jake asked.
"They, They're together Jake, I was right all along," she cried.
"Peyton and Luke?" he asked.
"Who else, Jake?"
"I'm gonna kick his ass," he said, getting up, and exiting the room.
"No, Jake, wait," she said running after him. Too bad Jake's a basketball player; he's much faster than her.
Nate's apartment…
"I'm gonna head over to Luke's, you want to come?" Haley asked.
"Nah, I'm not up for visiting my piece of shit brother right now," he told her.
"Okay, well, I'll see you later," she told him, kissing him good-bye.
"Later," he said.
Luke's house…
"I really should go, huh?" Peyton asked.
"Probably. Peyton, tell me that this isn't going to end."
"Brooke's my best friend, or she was. I can't just continue to see you, and as far as I know, Jake doesn't know, so I still have him," she said, when the door to his bed room swung open to reveal and extremely pissed off Jake.
"Spoke too soon," supplied Luke.
"You Jackass," Jake said to Luke.
"What?"
"How could you do this, to her?"
"To who?"
"Brooke, you asshole," he yelled at him.
"I'm sorry, but I fell for someone else," he said.
"And that just makes it okay?" he yelled, getting caught in the moment.
"Jake, stop," came Brooke.
"Oh, god," he said thinking about things, "I have no right saying this," he said.
"Jake, what are you talking about? I fell for Peyton, your girlfriend, who yes, cheated on you, but feels terrible about it. I convinced her, to start it back up again, after she ended it, the same night you guys had your fight," Luke said, dropping back down, to sit on his bed.
"Wait, I was right before?" Brooke asked, starting to get mad again.
"Yea, Brooke, you were right, I lied, and I'm a horrible person, and I'm sorry," she cried, "wait,Jake why don't you have any right saying that?" she asked, confused.
"Jake, you don't have to do this," Brooke told him.
"No, I do, and so do you," he told her. "I fell for someone else too, and also cheated on you, but I can guarantee that it hasn't been going on for as long as you have."
"Do I at least get to know who it was?" Peyton asked.
"Whoa, there's a party in here, and no one invited me?" Haley asked, and seeing the tears in Peyton's and Brookes eyes, and the expressions on Jake and Luke's faces, gave away everything, "You guys know, don't you?"
"Know what Haley?" Luke asked.
"That-" she was cut off.
"I fell for Brooke, Peyton," he said, not wanting them to find out from Haley.
"You've been with Brooke?"
"No, well yes, but not like you've been with him, we didn't sleep together until last night," he explained, piquing Peyton's interest.
"Jake, really, did you have to do that," Brooke said, through her gritted teeth.
"I'm such a liar? I'm such a backstabbing bitch? Look in the mirror Brooke," Peyton yelled.
"Tell me Peyton, how long have you been screwing behind both of our backs? Huh? Cause I'm pretty sure it's been more than a day," she yelled right back.
"You've been at it more than a day too Brooke," Haley reminded her.
"Haley, you're not helping," Brooke yelled at her.
Taken back by the outburst, "Who the hell kept your secret Brooke? Huh? I did, so don't go treating me like crap," she yelled right back.
"You knew, and you didn't tell me?" Luke asked her.
"Brooke's my friend and I promised her I wouldn't tell anyone," she told him.
"You knew that my girlfriend was cheating on me, and you didn't tell me?" he asked her again.
"WHAT IN THE HELL IS GOING ON?" Yelled someone from the door.
"Nate, thank god you're here," Haley said, almost acting like he was a super hero.
"Why don't we get everything out in the open, shall we?" Nate asked. Everyone nodded, so he carried on, "Peyton and Luke have been cheating on Jake and Brooke, since July."
"July?" Brooke asked, "July?"
"No interruptions Brooke," he said, extremely aggravated, "yes, for 4 months, they have been lying, cheating, and sleeping together. Jake and Brooke have been cheating on Peyton and Luke for about 2 weeks. Nothing involved sleeping together, just a harmless kiss. Haley, and me unknowingly, have been standing in the middle of this apocalypse waiting to happen since summer. SUMMER, people. You've been hurting the people you claim to love, for months. What is wrong with you?"
"Maybe we weren't meant to be, like you and Haley," Brooke said, "oh and me and Jake slept together last night."
"Okay, I didn't really need to know that," Nate said.
"We all need some cooling off, so everyone go home, and we'll see on Monday, when school is back in session."
"You're hot when you get all fired up," Haley said.
"Not now Haley," he told her.
"Fine, I'll see you later, I better get home," she said, kissing him goodbye. "See you guys at school?" she asked.
"Yea," was said at the same time, by all 4.
"Go home guys," Nathan said, turning and heading to his car. "I'll give you a ride Haley."
Graduation…
"Why are you arresting my father?" Nathan asked. "And how do you know this guy Scott?"
"You're father has been keeping some things secret that he shouldn't have," the officer explained.
"Still doesn't answer my question, how do you know this guy?" he asked Scott again.
"He's my partner."
"You're partner, for what?" Brooke piped in.
"I'm an FBI agent, here undercover to figure out what Dan's been doing and to arrest him," he explained, "and my name's not Scott, it's Andy."
"You used me, you used me to get some scumbag for fraud," Brooke yelled at him.
"No Brooke, I," he tried, but it was too late, she already ran out of the room crying.
He tried to run after her, but Jake stopped him. "You've done enough," he said, and went after her.
Okay, I thought I should stop there…leave with somewhat of a cliffhanger…
In a weird announcer's voice: What's going to happen in the hall with Brooke and Jake?
Well I'm leaving voting open for anyone who wishes to review, and vote that hasn't yet.
