Chapter 19

Later that day, everything has calmed down. Jenny became comfortable with the new surroundings and quickly forgot about her past as she hung out with her sisters. The gang stayed at Brooke and Jake's house for the rest of day, and seemed to catch up with their pasts. Right now all of them except Brooke were in the living room talking, while Brooke was upstairs putting the girls to bed. She came down in to the room and found all the seats had been taken up by the rest so Brooke went and sat on the armrest of Jakes seat and put her one of arms around his shoulder. Lucas's eyes narrowed as he watched this, he realized he was jealous of Jake and maybe had some old feelings for Brooke some where deep in him, but he wasn't going to do anything about it because of his relationship with Peyton.

"Are the girls asleep" asked Jake

"Yeah…I've put Maria and Sarah on the bottom bunk and jenny's on the top" said Brooke. "Were going to have to find a new sleeping arrangement now that jenny's staying here"

"Yeah…im guessing we should bring in another bed or summit for jenny in to the girls room" said Jake. "Or we can just give Jenny the guest room"

"Hmmm yeah we really need to sit down and talk this through carefully" said Brooke

"Omg you two have such issues" gasped Nathan watching them closely. "Your like a married couple…you actually talk through your decisions"

"Excuse me and we don't" growled Haley at her husband.

"No sweetie we do…its we're actually married and these two aren't its just weird" said Nathan.

"I think it's cute" said Haley dangerously.

"Well if you think its cute then so do I" said Nathan kissing Haley quickly as the rest of them laughed.

"Funny Nate…anyway I don't think you're even a true Scott" smirked Brooke

"And why is that Brooke" asked Nathan curiously.

"Because if you were a true Scott then you would have got Haley pregnant ages ago" explained Brooke. "That what all Scott men are known for" everyone laughs

"Oh please don't ruin the good luck for us…im glad we were able to get through our marriage with out kids" said Nathan

"Im sure Haley wants kids after all she has come from a big family right hales" asked Brooke.

"I do want kids…but were all only 24…I can't even handle my husband yet" said Haley rolling her eyes.

"Hey I aint that bad you know" moaned Nathan. "And Brooke stop putting babies in my wife's head, anyway I think we should head back then"

"What no don't…stay…like old times…but this time with Peyton and Lucas" said Jake

"I don't know…what about the sleeping arrangements" said Haley.

"Im sure we can figure something out…it'll be fun and what's the point" explained Jake. "It's already late so stay"

"Yeah but what about our clothes and toothbrushes and stuff" said Haley

"Hales everything will be fine…come on it'll be cool" assured Jake "common who's in?" everyone agreed. It sounded fun to hang out just like high school.

"Yeah im sure we can work things out…you and Nate can have the guest room as always" said Brooke thinking. "And…and Luke and Peyt could have my room and I'll bunk with Jake"

"What no way! This is how the sleeping arrangements will be" said Lucas suddenly to Brooke. "Peyton and Nathan in the guest room, Haley and Jake in jakes room and me and you in your room"

"What!" said the rest of them, Lucas sat silently for a couple of seconds replaying everything in his head.

"Huh okay that came out wrong" said Lucas

"Ya think…please put me with my wife instead of my ex girlfriend" said Nathan.

"Sorry…you and hales in the guest room, Peyton and Brooke in Brookes room and me and Jake in his room" said Lucas carefully.

"Orite…which side do you prefer Luke…left or right" said Jake.

"What no…my house my rules" said Brooke. "Everything is going the way I want it"

"Well I don't like your sleeping arrangement then" said Lucas stubbornly

"What's not to like…your sleeping with your girlfriend" pointed out Brooke

"I…err well-" began Lucas

"Luke stop being stubborn…why are you acting so weird today" said Brooke.

"Sorry im just really tired" lied Lucas trying to cover up his jealousy.

"Well then go to bed…Peyton take him up then" said Brooke. Lucas gave a look to Brooke then he and Peyton headed up stairs closely followed by Nathan and Haley.

"Well that was weird" said Jake when it was just him and Brooke.

"Yeah…we still haven't told them we're not together" said Brooke

"Oh yeah…that slipped my mind…we'll just tell them tomorrow then" said Jake.

"Or we can have our own little fun" said Brooke mischievously

"What?"

"Lets just mess about with Luke's head for a while…it's obvious he finds this all weird" said Brooke.

"Brooke that's so evil" laughed Jake

"Common it'll be fun…just don't tell anyone yet" said Brooke

"Fine but if it gets out of control then we're telling the truth okay"

"Fine…oooh this will be soo fun I can't wait"

Peyton and Lucas were in Brooke's room, Lucas was pacing around the room and Peyton watched him closely.

"Luke are you okay" asked Peyton

"Huh…what yeah…yeah I am" said Lucas. "Err peyt we need to talk"

"You want to break up with me don't you" said Peyton

"Huh…I err that wa-" began Lucas.

"Luke don't play dumb with me…I kinda guessed after what happened downstairs" said Peyton

"Oh"

"Yeah…look Luke I don't mind…actually im quite relieved" said Peyton, Lucas was shocked to hear this. "I guess seeing Jake brought back old feelings and im sure the same has happened with you about Brooke right"

"Yeah…but there's no point… she moved on with Jake…it's a bit weird isn't it" said Lucas. "I don't know what to do now…im sorry Peyt"

"Its okay…better out then in right" laughed Peyton. "So how are we gonna rip the couple apart and keep the pieces for our selves"

"As much as I want to…I can't do it to Jake and obviously Brookes happy with him so that what counts right" said Lucas.

"Yeah and it's our fault right…sometimes we don't realize how much we love some one until they stop loving us" said Peyton.

"Yeah we messed up bad" smiled Lucas lying on the bed, Peyton joined him.

"Well at least we can get through this as friends" said Peyton. "I guess we should tell everyone in the morning then"

"Yeah" said Lucas closing his eyes, Peyton watched him for a minute and smiled turning on her side and fell asleep instantly.
