Chapter 13
Lucas couldn't believe it, Sarah was his daughter, he had a daughter, this was too much to take in, and first finding out Brooke is here living with Jake and now the possibility that Sarah could be his daughter.
"Hey what are you thinking" asked Peyton staring at Lucas.
"I… I think Sarah's… Sarah's my daughter" said Lucas in shock.
"What" said Peyton wide eyes "are you sure?"
"Yeah think about she's 6, Brooke left 6 years ago when I broke up with her" explained Lucas. "And the riddle in her letter and plus Sarah has my eyes"
"Luke don't you think this all could just be some kind of coincidence" said Peyton.
"I don't know Peyton, so much has happened" said Lucas staring at Sarah. They both fell silent and just watched all their friends in side the room. it felt awkward not be in their with them all, they both felt like strangers. Nathan and Haley come out the room to find Lucas and Peyton standing before them. They all just stood there in silent, neither of them saying anything, until Lucas couldn't take it anymore; he had to know the truth.
"Is Sarah my daughter" asked Lucas breaking the silence. Haley and Nathan looked at each other, surprised by the fact Lucas asked this.
"Err Luke, we can't err tell you anything" lied Haley. "Coz we don't know anything our selves"
"Yeah mate, we think Jake is the father" lied Nathan.
"What" said all three turning to him, Haley was glaring at Nathan, and she couldn't believe he said that, how stupid could he be.
"What, oh no, I didn't meet that crap" cursed Nathan. "Oh my god"
They all stood there again letting the silent wash over them, until Brooke and Jake came out.
"We can take Sarah home today, we just need to wait for the doctor to finish his check up" said Brooke happily, ignoring Lucas and Peyton.
"Aww Brooke that's great" said Haley. "So that Sarah's fine and we have nothing to worry about, I guess we should head back"
"Yeah ok then, thanks for being here you guys" said Brooke hugging Haley, then turning to Jake. "Could you stay here with Sarah, ill get Maria ready so we can go home"
"Sure" Brooke goes to get Maria leaving the rest in an awkward silence. Lucas was still glaring at Jake.
"Luke man, there's something you sho-" began Jake but Lucas turned around and left. "I guess he doesn't want to know"
"Give him time, so much has happened" said Peyton. "It'll take time to take it all in"
"Yeah erm peyt im sorry" apologized Jake.
"It's ok, im guessing you have a lot on your plate anyway" said Peyton.
"Yeah"
"Ok I know this conversation is very moving but I think we should leave" said Nathan
"Yeah I think we should find Lucas too" said Peyton. "by the way congratulations with Brooke, you two go well together"
"Huh what" said Jake, a little confused
"You and Brooke, its ok Nathan's already told us" said Peyton
"Oh really and what else did Nathan tell you" growled Jake glaring at him.
"Oh that Sarah is your daughter, she beautiful" smiled Peyton
"What!" half yelled Jake. "Err Nathan, Haley a word please, now!" Nathan and Haley followed Jake, far away from Peyton so she couldn't hear them.
"What the hell is she on about" hissed Jake.
"Well I kinda err told her that err you and Brooke are together" gulped Nathan noticing jakes rage.
"What! Omg I cant believe you said that" moaned Jake.
"well you know Nathan, he' stupid" sighed Haley.
"Yeah that's how it goes, I do stupid things and Haley picks up the pieces" said Nathan
"Then stop doing stupid things Nate" said Jake.
"Well that's no fun, we need spice in lives man" said Nathan
"Spice!, man you got married when you were 16, me and Brooke were in hiding with two girls," snapped Jake. "Plus all the secrets and lying isn't enough and you want more spice in you life, I don't think you can get any more fool"
"Whoa calm down Jake, Haley will fix it" said Nathan
"You better wish she does coz she soon will now how it feels like to be a widow" threatened Jake.
"What is it with people and threatening me" mumbled Nathan, as he and Haley went back to Peyton and Jake went back to Sarah. They went out side to find Lucas on one of the benches that were outside of the hospital.
"Come on Luke, lets go home" said Haley, Lucas got up and didn't say a word, all four of them headed back to their hotel rooms. Nathan and Haley went in to Lucas and Peyton's room, to find them both sitting on the bed in silence.
"Guys Haley has something to say to you" said Nathan quickly
"Why me, you're the one who got us all in this mess, you fix it for the first time" hissed Haley. Lucas and Peyton just stared at them all confused.
"Ok fine, here goes Jake isn't the father of Sarah" said Nathan.
"What! Then who is" said Lucas
"I err don't know, she never told us" said Nathan quickly
"How do I know your not lying to me again" asked Lucas suspiciously
"Coz im not, trust me man we don't know" lied Nathan,
"Fine, you know what I can't deal with this now so im going to bed" said Lucas. Nathan and Haley walk out closely followed by Peyton.
"Ok tell me the truth, Lucas is the father isn't he" said Peyton
"What no we alr-" began Nathan
"Cut the crap Nathan" said Peyton. "I've kinda guessed now, just do me a thing and give me Brookes address"
"What why, what are you going to do" said Haley
"Nothing I just want to talk to her" said Peyton
"Yeah no I don't think so" said Nathan
"Nate I love you and all but I can beat you up" threatened Peyton
"Haley give her the address" said Nathan quickly
"No, Peyt she doesn't want to see anyone" said Haley
"Woman, just give her the damn address" said Nathan. "Do you want me to die?"
"Well that is hard choice, husband or no husband" said Haley thinking "I think I'll go with no husband coz of all things you do"
"Ha ha funny" said Nathan sarcastically.
"Guys just give me the address" said Peyton
"Fine, but if you do anything to Brooke, ill set Maria and Sarah on you" threatened Haley.
"What, Haley they're kids" said Peyton
"Yeah they maybe kids but they are pretty strong, you can ask Nathan" said Haley, writing down the Brookes address and giving it to her.
"Ok you guys are weird" said Peyton. "Look tell Luke ive gone for a walk or summit ok"
"Sure" said Haley as she watches Peyton leave and turns to her husband. "Wow what a night"
Jake and Brooke were sitting on the sofa in their living room, glad that the night was over and that Sarah was fine now.
"Wow well this was a night don't ya think" asked Jake
"Yeah of course, my daughter gets hurt and then my ex best friends with my ex boyfriend slash father of my child show unexpectedly in the hospital" said Brooke. "Yeah this night was just dandy" Jake laughs and puts his arm around Brooke and they both just there in silent, until they here the door ring
"Great who comes at 1 in morning" muttered Jake. "Since when did we become popular?"
Brooke gets up to see who was at the door, she opens and was shocked to find her ex best friend standing at her door way.
"Peyton what the hell are you doing here" asked Brooke a bit too rudely.
"I thought we could talk" said Peyton, Brooke just stares at her for a minute then moves aside to let Peyton in to her house.
"Hey B who is it" called Jake from the living room. Brooke and Peyton walk in to the living room, Jake had the same shocked look Brooke had when he saw Peyton. "Peyton, hey…I err sit down" he pointed the sofa, Peyton smiles and takes a seat. Brooke's looks at her with her arms crossed.
"Would you like something Peyton, tea, coffee, another boyfriend or poison?" snapped Brooke. Jake just stares Brooke; he couldn't believe she just said that.
"Err water would be fine, but err Jake could you get it please" said Peyton, a little afraid of the way Brooke was acting. Jakes nods and glares at Brooke for being rude, he comes back with a glass of water in hand and passes it to Peyton.
"So err Brooke how've you been" asked Peyton politely.
"Oh like kick-you-in-the-crotch-spit-on-you-neck fantastic" said Brooke sarcastically
"Oh that's a New York expression" said Jake quickly, giving Brooke another glare.
"Brooke where have you been all these years" said Peyton.
"Where do ya think I was im here in New York" snapped Brooke. "Sometimes you do seem to act like a real blonde"
"Brooke, look im sorry for the way things have ended" said Peyton. "I didn't mean things to go bad like this"
"If you stayed away Peyton then everything would have been fine" yelled Brooke
"Brooke I think your-" began Jake
"No Jake, let me finish" said Brooke "I waited 6 years of all this anger in me and no one can stop me now"
"Brooke im sorry" said Peyton
"Sorry, that's all I hear from you" said Brooke. "Twice you took him away from, twice"
"Brooke I-" began Peyton
"No, don't start with me Peyton, I never did anything to you as much as you did to me" yelled broke.
"Ok Brooke, stop I had enough of your crap" said Peyton getting angry. "You think im worse, look in to the mirror then talk, coz where im standing your still the girl that slept with Nathan when I was with him!"
"Don't you dare use that against me" screamed Brooke
"Omg I can't believe you slept Nathan" said Jake in shock. "Our Nathan, Haley's husband Nathan, wow I missed so much when I left tree hill"
"Jake, upstairs now!" said Brooke
"What no, things just got interesting" moaned Jake
"Up stairs NOW!" screamed Brooke, Jake got up quick and rushed out.
"Ooh did we just hit a sore spot" said Peyton. "You're just as worse as me"
"No im not, when you took Lucas away from me, twice, I was in love with him" yelled Brooke. "But I when I was Nathan, you two were technically broken up and you never loved him, so don't you dare try to pin this one on me!" both of them fell silent and didn't say another word for a couple of minutes.
"Sarah is Lucas's daughter" asked Peyton suddenly, Brooke looked up at her and didn't say a word. "Look Luke and I kinda guessed but he is in some kinda of dilemma, and he doesn't know what to believe"
"Look Peyton things are compl-" began Brooke but was cut off from Peyton.
"I know you Brooke, you have talk to him other wise things will get even worse" said Peyton.
"I err… don't know how" said Brooke, she couldn't believe this was happening.
"Brooke do you mind if I stay here tonight, I can't go back now" said Peyton
"Sure, come ill show you to the guest room" said Brooke. Both she and Peyton went upstairs and Peyton looked around the house, there were loads of pictures everywhere, with Brooke, Jake, the girls and even Rachel. Brooke led her in to the guest room and went back to her bedroom to get Peyton some spare change of clothes.
"Here" said Brooke passing her the clothes.
"Thanks" Brooke left the room and went to jakes bedroom.
"Hey you still awake" asked Brooke as she crept in to his room and sitting at the end of his bed,
"After tonight, do you really think anyone would go to sleep" smirked Jake. "So what did you and Peyton talk about then?"
"Oh the usual, our big bad past" sighed Brooke.
"Hmmm… I can't believe you slept with Nathan man" chuckled Jake.
"Hey stop it, it was one stupid drunk night and we didn't even realize" defended Brooke. "Anyway I was stupid back then, but im glad Haley forgave me"
"Yeah well that's Haley for you… are you ok you seem a little weird" said Jake
"Peyton knows about Sarah and she wants me to speak to Lucas" said Brooke
"Omg really, wow well then what are you gonna do then" asked Jake.
"I don't know, I mean I have to talk to him right" said Brooke
"Yeah well duh" said Jake.
"Err I guess I should go now" said Brooke getting up
"What now!" said Jake getting up too. "Do you really think that's a good idea?"
"Well yeah no point of holding everything back again right" said Brooke. "Anyway just stay her, keep an eye on the girls and Peyton is staying her too, she is in the guest room. Don't worries I won't be long" Brooke leaves Jake and heads back down and outside to her car, she dives to the hotel. Jake watches her leave and then grabs his mobile phone and phones Nathan, he waits for a couple of second until Nathan picks up.
Nathan: what you want man
Jake: Brookes coming over
Nathan: well tell her to come over when no one is asleep
Jake: she isn't coming to see you guys, she gone to meet Luke.
Nathan: what!
Jake: yeah and I want you and Haley to keep an eye on her
Nathan: fine but you owe me man, of all the crazy things I do for you
Jake: thanks man bye
Nathan: bye (shuts the phone)
Jake gets out of bed and goes to check on the girls, they both were sound a sleep, he went and took a close look at Sarah just to make sure, until he was satisfied he left the room and walked back in to the all to find Peyton looking around in Brooke's pajamas.
"Hey what you doing" asked Jake
"Looking for Brooke" said Peyton
"She's gone to talk to Lucas" said Jake.
"What really, wow she finally listening to me after all these years" smiled Peyton.
"Yeah" there was an awkward silence between the two, neither of them knew what to say next.
"I think you should go to bed, you had a long day" said Jake.
"What about you" said Peyton.
"Oh err Brooke told me to watch the girls and I also wanna wait for her too" said Jake.
"Oh ok then, good night" said Peyton heading back in to her room. Jake heads back in to his room and lies down waiting for Brooke to come back, he was worried for her, he didn't know how things were gonna get and also he found it weird being in a house alone with Peyton.
Lucas walked around his room, waiting for Peyton, he didn't know where she went and he was getting worried. This wasn't like Peyton; she usually told him where she goes. Lucas sat down on his bed for a couple of minutes until he heard someone knock on the door. He looked up realizing Peyton must have come back and rushed to open the door.
"Omg peyt where were- Brooke!" said Lucas shocked to find her at his hotel door.
"Luke we need to talk" said Brooke as she walked past him and in to the room.
