Brooke and Tim were cuddling on the couch watching a movie when the doorbell rang. Brooke got up to answer the door. She had gotten very comfortable in her old house even if it was only for the summer. When Brooke answered the door Peyton was standing there looking like a total mess. "P. Sawyer what's wrong?" Brooke hurried her into the house then looked at Tim, "hey Timtime, we need some girl-time could you excuse us?"
"Yeah sure just don't restart the movie without me," he said pushing pause as he got up to head to Brookes room.
Peyton came in and sat on the couch as did Brooke. "I miss having you close by when I need to talk," Peyton said.
"I know," Brooke said, "but it's just for the summer." She takes Peyton's hands, "so what happened that brought on this need for Brooke?"
"I am such an idiot," Peyton sort of answered.
"Why, P.? What did you do," Brooke asked sounding concerned.
"Well Lucas and I had been hanging out a lot the last week," she started. "I guess I started feeling like the old days. We were getting along, having fun, flirting a little. He asked me to hang out with him tonight. I thought it was a date I guess it wasn't. Not for him anyway because I kissed him and he freaked," Brooke just listened with a blank look on her face. She had let go of Peyton's hands when she mentioned the kiss. "He brought up the distance thing and my dad and his mom, blah, blah. I felt like he was holding something back," Brooke kind of scooted back and looked at the ground when she said that. "What Brooke? What do you know," she paused waiting for an answer, which didn't come quick enough for her, "Brooke Penelope Davis answer the question."
"Uh well, I don't know if you noticed but I borrowed your car the night Tim came," she said.
"Yeah I noticed," Peyton responded, "but what does that have to do with Lucas?"
"Well that was the day everyone left me at the café with Lucas. He gave me a ride home and I had to borrow your car to chase Tim down after he saw," she paused then quickly said the rest, "Lucas kiss me." She didn't wait for Peyton's response, "I swear it meant nothing on my end I promise I'm so over that and I'm not about to relive high school. I'm sorry P."
"Brooke chill, it's not your fault," she said, "but it totally explains why he isn't interested. I'm stupid to think he still would be. We broke up a long time ago. I just figured 'cuz neither of us moved on," she trailed off.
"Honey, that's ridiculous. I was hung up on him forever," Brooke said. "It's not that out there to think he would still be hung up on you. I just don't know about that boy though, maybe he has a complex with the two of us. He'll never be able to decide between us and well we're not playing anymore… hoe's over bro's," she finished giggling. Peyton laughed too and they hugged.
Brooke pressed play and the movie came back on, they cuddled. Tim came back into the room, "what the hell," he said, "you were supposed to wait for me. You didn't even tell me you were done talking." He sat on the other side of Brooke and put his arm around her. They sat there Peyton on the left cuddling with Brooke, who was in the middle with Tim on her other side with his arm around her. "This feels like we're back in New York," Tim said.
