Chapter 22

4 days later

Brooke, Peyton, Rachel, Bevin and Haley all sat down on Brooke's couch. It was Brooke's bachlorette party, and they had just come back from a lingerie shop. They decided to come back here afterwards and watch a movie, maybe eat some popcorn.

"Rachel, get the beers!" Peyton said excitedly.

"Sure!" Rachel walked over to the fridge, got 5 beers and handed them out.

"Rachel, I can't!" Brooke said. "No Achohol. I'm pregnant"

"Oh, I'm sorry girly. I forgot!"

"It's cool. Rachel, can you hand me a root beer?" Brooke asked.

"Sure." She handed her the drink.

"Thanks"

"So what movie do you want to watch?" Bevin asked.

"Let's see.." Brooke said, thinking of the movies she had in the apartment. "We've got... Marie Antoinette, Walk the Line... The Notebook, The Godfather, The Departed..Ladder 49..There's Lord of the Rings and Star Wars.. Any of them sound interesting?"

"I wanna watch Marie Antoinette, but that's just me." Rachel said.

"I kinda want to too." Brooke said. "But then there's always the Notebook."

"The Notebook!" Peyton added.

"Let's watch that." Bevin said.

"Yeah." Rachel put in.

"Okay." Brooke said, putting the movie in the DVD player.

"Chase, c'mon." Nathan said. "It's your bachelor party!"

"I'm not going in there." Chase said as they stood right at the door.

The guys all surprised him and didn't tell him at all about where they were going, and he knew there was no way he was going to.

"Why not?" Lucas asked.

"Because it's a strip club, and I'm getting married?" He said.

"This is your last week until you do. So why not enjoy it?" Nate said, smirking.

"Fine" Chase said, giving in.

The girls paused the movie, and were just chatting.

"Brooke, tell us about the wedding. It's 10 days away! What are the plans?" Rachel said.

"Well, we are having the wedding where Haley had her second," She said looking at Haley and smiling. Haley smiled back.

"What are the bridesmaids' dresses?" Peyton said, eager to no what she would be wearing at the wedding.

"I was actually going to have you girls decide. Since you are all the bridesmaids," Brooke said, looking at Peyton, Haley, Rachel and Bevin, " I have it narrowed down to a kind of dark green, or a light blue. Whatever one you will look best in."

"I look hot in both." Rachel said, laughing.

Bevin, Peyton and Brooke started laughing and smiling, but their smiles faded when Haley started talking.

"Oh Shut up! Always talking about how hot you are." Haley said, shaking her head.

"You know what? You might have problems in your marriage, but don't be taking it out on all of us." Rachel snapped at her.

Haley gasped. "Don't you dare! That is none of your business!"

"Well, then, why did Nathan tell me?"

"I have to go to the bathroom," Brooke said, "I'm gonna feel sick." Brooke rushed to it.

"Oh god." Peyton said, wondering if she should stay here and make sure they don't pull each other's hair out, or see if Brooke is okay.

"You! Slut!" Haley yelled at Rachel.

Peyton decided to stay here.

"Damn it, guys, this is Brooke's engagement party!" Bevin shouted.

Rachel gasped at Haley and slapped her hard across the face.

Haley touched her cheek. She had an angry look on. She slapped Rachel back.

Brooke tried to walk out of the bathroom. She made her way to the door, holding on to the side.

"That's enough!" She said. Everyone turned to her. "Just stop" Brooke mumbled weakly as she yawned.

They all stood up. Even Haley and Rachel.

"Brooke. Are you okay?" Bevin said, walking over to her.

"I think I'm just a little tired. My stomach hurts just a bit."

Peyton and Rachel followed. Haley started to, but then stopped.

"Don't bitch. Unless you want to have a black eye." Rachel said.

"Don't call me a bitch, bi-"

"Guys!!" yelled Peyton.

"Okay, well, I think that you should lie down, honey." Bevin said.

"and I think you two should go." Peyton added on.

"That's up to Brooke!" Rachel said angrily.

"Brooke?" Peyton said.

Brooke didn't make any eye contact at all. "Go."

"Fine!" Haley yelled. She grabbed her purse, through her drink on Rachel and walked out the door.

Rachel did the same.

"I can't believe them two!" Peyton said, as she helped Brooke to the bed.

"Peyton, I'm fine. Really!" She said, laughing. "Thank you for taking care of me." Brooke said, getting on the bed.

"Do you girls want to stay, we can finish The Notebook, and put the DVD in this one." Pointing to the DVD player in the room.

"Sure!" Bevin and Peyton said.

"Sorry if I fall asleep." Brooke said, going under the covers.
