So, thanks for the reviews! They are amazing, truly amazing. Thanks so much! Please R&R! 50 reviews!! Yes! Thanks so much!!
It was supposed to done. Dead and buried. But Lucas's words brought it back to life and made Brooke, sadder and lonelier then ever. She started to cry again and held her stomach. How could he do that to us?
"She was a rebel. A mystery, waiting to be unraveled. Peyton Sawyer. Peyton Sawyer is my friend. The only person I could truly count on in the good times and bad. At one time I loved her. And sometimes I think I always will. But I owe it to my wife to be a better person then who I've been."
"He always loved her." Brooke said to herself again and again. She felt this deep hatred burn up inside her as Lucas knocked on their door. "Hey, baby you okay?" He asked. "You always loved her." Lucas shook his head. "What?" He asked as she held up his book.
"You always loved her. But you owe it to me to be a better person?!" She asked, her voice rising. "Oh, Brooke..." Brooke shook her head. "I cannot believe you! I'm having your fricken kid and you love another chick?!" Lucas shook his head. "Brooke..." He started but she cut him off again.
"You love her! Don't you?! Huh? I cannot believe this is happening!" Lucas shook his head and grabbed her wrist as she began to walk out of the room. "Get off of me!" She yelled at him as she walked out of the house, slamming the door behind her.
Brooke ran to Peyton and Jake's house. She knocked on the door, and Jake was the only one there. Peyton had gone to the mall with her dad and Jenny.
Brooke sat on the couch crying and telling Jake about what Lucas said. Jake was furious. Lucas had no right to just barge in and take control of his and her life. This wasn't fair. He was killing Brooke. Who by now was two months pregnant, and very stressed.
Brooke ended up crying her heart out in Jake's arms. With Jake whispering optimistic words in her ear. It should have been awkward, but for some unknown reason, it wasn't. They lied on the couch like that for a little while, Jake holding her and telling her to calm down, that everything was going to be okay.
And then it happened.
They shouldn't have done it. Correction, she shouldn't have done it. But she did.
She kissed him.
Jake pulled away, stunned. "Oh...my god." She said covering her mouth with her hands and sitting up. "Wow...Brooke...I..." They were both at a loss for words. What the hell just happened? And more importantly, what were they going to do about it?
Brooke had always thought Jake Jagielski was hot, but he was Peyton's husband! And her best friend! Oh my god. What about Peyton?!
"Brooke..." Jake started but Brooke stopped him. "Okay, that never happened. Never." Jake nodded. "I better get going." Brooke said grabbing her jacket and heading out the door.
Brooke decided not to go home to face Lucas quite yet. She had already spent the last hour cuddling with her best friend's husband. She felt...she didn't know what to feel as she sat down on the park bench.
Peyton arrived home minutes after Brooke left, with Jake still sitting there, stunned. "Hey Jake." Peyton said walking over to him. "Hey. You okay?" She asked again sitting down beside him. "Yeah." He lied. "So, what you do while I was gone?" She asked kissing him. Kissed your best friend. He thought. "Um...nothing." Peyton smiled.
"I love you." She whispered in his ear. "I love you, too." He said. Trying to hold back the shakiness in his voice.
Brooke sat on the bench contemplating. What was she going to do? She loved Lucas, right? Oh what was she thinking of course she loved Lucas! But...
Arrg! Why was there always a but!?
Brooke came home to an empty house. And a note that read,
Brooke,
If you come home, mom and I went shopping. We'll be back soon. I am so sorry. I'll talk to you soon,
Lucas.
Xoxo
Lucas. Why did she suddenly not care for him as much as she used to? What was wrong with her?! She knew what she had to do.
She dialed Jake's cell and told him to come over, she had to talk to him.
Jake walked painfully, without Peyton's knowing, to Brooke's house, where she lay on her bed.
"Hey." Jake said sitting down on the bed beside her. "Hey." She answered. There was an awkward silence. Then Brooke started to speak. "About today..." She started. Jake looked at her sadly. "No need to apologize, Brooke." Jake said smiling. "It was a mistake. It's okay."
"It was a mistake?" She asked, inching close to him. "Well..."
And he was cut off by her lips on his.
Let the affair begin.
