I didn't like how I wrote that the very ending of that last scene so I'm going to rewrite it and put it here. I will delete it from the other chapter and replace it so I don't confuse future readers.


Haley knew who she wanted to dance with instantly she just had to get over the fact that this was going to be the final decision.

"Thanks Luke." He smiled at her and patted her hand. She took a deep breath, got up and walked to the person she needed to talk to.

"Hey, Can I cut in?"

"Sure Hales." The younger girl stepped away from Nathan, and Haley took her spot.


Brooke scanned the room and didn't see Peyton anywhere.

"Where is she?" Brooke said, whispering to herself.

"Where's who?" Mouth asked. They were now sitting down at a table drinking a very spiked punch.

"Oh sorry I didn't realize I said that loud enough for anyone to hear me. I was just wondering where Peyton is."

"I don't think she's here, I saw Lucas walk in with Haley."

Brooke frowned and then had an idea. She slowly ran her fingers down Mouth's arm and put on her famous Brooke Davis up to no good, face.

"Hey Mouth can I borrow your car? He rolled his eyes and handed her the keys.

"Take it easy on the turns!" He yelled as she took off.


Brooke knocked on the front door and rang the door bell. "Come on Peyton I know you're here, your car is in the driveway." Brooke remembered the spare key at the back of the house and ran to it. She unlocked the door and let herself in. Brooke searched the entire house and there was only one place left, the basement. Oh how she hated that place and of course the door was open and she could hear sounds coming from down there.

"Fine! Hide in your creepy basement because you know I hate it Well that's just too bad! I'm coming down." She lifted up the bottom of her dress, hoping to not get anything on it and made her way down the steps. There was Christmas lights put along the walls and she could barely make out Peyton sitting in a chair. She heard a groan and saw she was tied up and had cloth tied around her mouth so she couldn't scream.

"Look out!" Peyton tried to scream but a mumble that Brooke could barely understand came out.

"What Peyton, what!?" She felt someone grab her from behind and a cold piece of metal, press up against her neck.

"Looks like you came back to kiss me again."


"I just wanted to talk to you about us."

Nathan's eyebrows shot up in hope, "I didn't know there was an us."

"Well, we are friends."

"Oh, ok." Nathan shook his head and a hint of sadness played on his face.

"I just want you to know I always want to be friends and I know I hurt you but I really do love Brooke and I hope eventually you can accept that so I don't hurt you again." She ran her hand up and down his back that she knew always comforted him.

"I accept it, I was just hoping maybe I could win you back but I know you love her and I want you to be happy."

"I want you to be happy too, Nathan. I mean that, I hope you can find someone else."

He smiled at her and tried to hold back the tears. That was the biggest reason he loved her, no matter what he did she would get over it and have such a grace about it.

"Go be with her, Haley James."

Haley smiled and turned around, Brooke was no where to be found. Haley walked over to Mouth. "Where is she?"

"She went to go find Peyton and make her come here. I think she will be back later so if you want to hang with me you can."

"Okay, thanks Mouth." That's the girl I love, always trying to make other people happy even when they are mad at her.


Brooke woke up feeling groggy and she felt like someone threw a brick at her face. She could feel blood runny from her nose and when she tried to wipe it off she realized her hands were tied behind her back. She looked up and squinted her eyes trying to make out her surroundings.

"Brooke." She could hear someone saying her name but she couldn't make anything out.

"Brooke, look at me." Brooke turned to her left and saw the blonde trying to get her to focus. "What are you doing here?"

"We've been talking about prom since we were little, I know something was wrong."

"So you told someone?"

Brooke paused for a second, "No."

Peyton rolled her eyes and groaned.

"At least I came."

"You should have told somebody!"

"That is your problem you are so ungrateful!"

"You're an idiot!"

"Don't call me an idiot, bitch!"

Peyton glared at her, "I hope he kills you first."

"That's a good idea." Peyton and Brooke turned there heads to the voice in fear. Derek walks slowly over to them and plays with his blade.

"I saw you two fighting this morning and I want to get her back for you Peyton--" He bent over and smelled her hair taking in her Cherry Blossom scent. "I finally found the way to show you how much I love you." He took his knife and slashed it across her stomach and watched the blood drip, she screamed in agony.

"Fuck you, pervert." She said in her husky low voice.

His eyes twitched as the anger rose in him and he punched her on the jaw causing her chair to go backwards, taking her with it.

Between the pain from being punched earlier to getting punched right then, the cut on her stomach, and the chair digging into her hands that was behind her, Brooke couldn't keep from screaming.

"Time to finish you off."

"Wait baby--" Peyton got his attention and tried to look as happy and flirty with him as she could even though she wanted to get sick. "Let me finish her off?"

"How can I trust you?"

"Well do I look mad about everything you just did to her? No, I want to finish that bitch off and then we can go up to my room." He walked over and untied her slowly giving her the knife.

"You said I was a back stabbing bitch, you never knew how right you were." She lifted the knife and turned around stabbing Derek with it and pushing him to the ground. She ran over to untie Brooke while he moaned in pain. She lifted Brooke out of the chair and looked for a different weapon. Derek got up and pulled the knife out of his shoulder and ran at Peyton.

"Peyton!" Brooke screamed and covered her and Derek stabbed Brooke in the arm. Brooke pulled the knife out of her arm as fast as she could before Derek could do anything else and stabbed him in the chest as many times as she could. She knew he was eventually dead but she still held him up and punched him in the face until she eventually dropped him and then she fell to the ground, not being able to endure the pain anymore.

Peyton ran to her, still in shock and grabbed her. "Brooke!"


Haley was laughing with Lucas and Mouth until her cell phone started ringing. She answered it when she saw Peyton's name on the id.

"Hello? Peyton what's wrong? Emergency room? Is she okay? Ok I'll be there as fast as I can."

"Lucas we have to go, it's Peyton and Brooke."
