OTHOTHOTHOTHOTHOTHOTHOTHOTHOTHOTHOTHOTHOTHOTHOTHOTHOTHOTHOTH

For about the 50th time this week, Peyton wasn't sure what to do.

Yes, she loved Lucas, but now that she had him, she wasn't as happy as she thought she would be.

She was lost. She knew that if she was friends with Brooke again, Brooke would help her in anyway.

But they weren't friends anymore, so Peyton didn't know what to do.

Seeing Jake leave Karen's just made her decision even more complicated.

Since when was JAke in town? He was supposed to be far far away. Jake told her to go for Lucas, even know he himself had deep feelings for her.

So Peyton went, pined after Lucas for awhile, and finally got him.

Normally this would be the part where she would run into her room, where Brooke would be, and ramble on about how messed up this was. Brooke would calm her down, call her Goldilocks, and tell her to go talk to Jake.

But Brooke didn't live with her anymore, and Peyton had told her she was dead to her. But she took Brooke's invisible advice. She went to talk to Jake.

At first she had no idea where he lived.

But then she realized that he would probably be staying with his parents.

As she was walking, she wondered what would happen. Peyton would be lying if she said she never missed him. She missed him alot. Along with Jenny. She was probably wrong to be thinking about him when she had Lucas, but Lucas was doing the same thing with Brooke.

And he thought she had no idea.

She realized a long time ago that Lucas was a bit dumb when it came to girls. Or maybe when it just came to Peyton or Brooke.

She saw the looks he gives her as Brooke tries to ignore him.

Lucas's still in love with Brooke.

And if Peyton didn't know any better.

She'd say she was still in love with Jake.

Jake being here was making her question everything. Maybe she wasn't really in love with Lucas at all? Maybe Lucas was never in love with her?

It was all a big blur, and before she knew it she was face to face with Jake.

"Peyton?"

"Jake what are you doing here?"

"I came to see my parents, and maybe you."

"Why? I said Lucas in my sleep? Why would you wanna see me?"

Jake just shrugged, "I don't know."

They both just stared ahead. Peyton was thinking if she should tell him. Would he even understand? Would he be mad?

"I think i lied."

He turned to her and smirked, "You think?"

"Yea, i think i lied."

"Lied? About what?"

"About how i felt about Lucas. I think you lied too."

"What did i lie about?"

"When you told me to go be with Lucas because you wanted that for me. I think you lied. I think you really wanted me to be with you, but since i said 'i love you Lucas' in my sleep, that gave you a reason to push me away, to Lucas."

Jake took a deep breath. He knew this was coming. NOw he was rethinking coming back in the first place.

"When i heard you say that in your sleep, it hurt. I tried to convince myself that you didn't mean it, but i think you did. So i told you to go for it, and just forget about it. I didn't realize it would be hurting alot of people. You, me, Lucas... Brooke."

"Then why did you? Me and Brooke would probably still be friends, and Lucas would be with Brooke!"

"I know! I didn't know how far everything would go."

"Do you still love me?"

"Yes, i do."

Peyton went to kiss him but Jake pulled away.

"Peyton, i can't do this with you. You're in lov ewith Lucas, and it wouldn't be right."

"JAke, i don't love Lucas. I thoght i did, but after everything died down, i felt nothing."

"Do you mean it? Do you really mean that?"

"I wouldn't be here if i didn't."

Jake sighed, "Well i believe you. But i think you need some time to get yourself together. And maybe break up with Lucas."

Peyton smiled, "I was thinking the same thing. Thanks for giving me a chance Jake."

Sh hugged him and left.

Jake laughed to himself as she left.

Maybe things were looking up for him after all.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Lucas knew it was bound to happen. And honestly, he was relieved, but angry also.

"Lucas, we need to talk."

"Yeah, sure. What about?"

"I think you know what it's about"

"Does it have anything to do with Jake being in town?"

"Yes and no. Lucas, you know whats going on."

"Yeah, i've known for awhile."

"Then why didn't you even say anything?"

"Because," Lucas stood up, "i didn't wanna break up until we at least tried. I didn't want to just break up 2 weeks into our relationship becuase that meant i let Brooke go for nothing!!"

"Yeah well i left Jake for nothing!"

"Yeaa but that doesn't really matter because soon you'll be with Jake. Brooke won't even look at me now."

Peyton didn't realize that. Jake was still talking to her, then later on they would probably be a family again. But Brooke had shut out Lucas for good it seemed.

"I didn't realize that. I'm sorry."

"It's not your fault. It's mine."

Peyton gave him a small smile and left.

Lucas fell on top of his bed. Great. Him and Peyton broke up. Brooke will never know how much he loves her, and Kyle took his spot on the team. Kyle had been taking alot of things lately.

Maybe if he talked to Brooke, as a single guy, she would open up a little to him.

That is, if Kyle wasn't in the way.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Yep, you're totally nervous," Brooke said as she approached Kyle and Nathan.

The Kodiaks were flown in early this morning, and were coming last period for the pep rally.

As usual, on game days the cheerleaders were wearing their uniform and the players were wearing shirts and ties.

"Yeaa i admit, i am a little nervous."

"Glad to see you admit it. BUt you guys are gonna do great, you always do." Brooke said as she fixed his tie. SHe had to say he looked good in his blue button down shirt and khaki pants.

"So what time did you say the pep rally was?" Kyle asked Nathan, trying to ignore how short Brooke's skirt was.

"Last period. The office will call the players earlier."

"Alright. So you got a good routine for the rally?" Kyle asked Brooke.

She scoffed, "Of course we do."

They all laughed as they headed to class.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Can you please talk to me this time?

Why should i? And plus you shouldn't be when you're with Peyton.

Me and Peyton broke up.

Oh yea and that makes it alright!!!

Brooke thought she could a decent first period, but Lucas had to go write her a note.

He hadn't wrote her as note in awhile, and she was curious about what he had to say. Now she wished she just tore it up without reading it.

It doesn't make it right. But i was hoping maybe we could at least become friends or at least talk to each other.

Brooke didn't want to graduate without making peace with everyone. SHe didn't necessarily want to be with him again, but she could at least talk to him.

Yeaaa i guess so.

She didn't know what she was doing. But maybe being friends with Lucas could settle her mind a little.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The whole time Brooke was passing notes with Lucas, Kyle was watching.

He wasn't necessarily jealous, but he was a little protective. Brooke was his best friend, and Lucas had hurt her too many times before, so of course he would be a little apprehensive of it.

But Brooke was a big girl and knew what she was doing.

Kyle got up when the bell rang. He decided to give Brooke and Lucas some times to talk.

As he was at his locker he saw them walk out of the classroom together. Lucas was smiling and so was Brooke. He would have to ask her what was going on later.

"Geez what's with you?" Nathan asked as Kyle was benchpressing. He was already at 300 pounds.

"Nothing's wrong. I'm just trying to get ready for the game."

"Well that's good and all, but you're gonna wear yourself out before then," Nate said as he took all the weight and put it back on the rack.

"There's something else bothering you, does it have something to do with Brooke and Lucas being friends again?"

"How'd you know."

"You're not the only one with English Lit. first period. I saw them passing notes too."

Kyle shook his head, "He's gonna hurt her again Nate."

"I know Ky. But what can we do? We can't tell her, she'll shut us out."

"Yeah, i know. So i guess we wait?"

"I guess so," Nate said as Lucas entered the weight room.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The rest of the day went by pretty quickly, and before Kyle knew it, he was being excused early to go to the gym.

He had been avoiding Brooke since first period. He just didn't think he could control what he would say when she told him about her and Lucas being friends.

There were tons of posters all across the gym and a microphone was set up. Principal Turner was already waiting for them.

"Our opponents are gonna be running a little late. They'll get here just when everybody is heading in."

"Great, now the whole school's gonna see their faces of anger when they know im playing," Kyle said to Nathan.

"They should expect it right? I mean they know where you moved to and all."

"That's what im worried about." Kyle couldn't help but think that they challenged the Ravens on purpose. Yeaa they were upset that he moved, but he didn't think they would challenge him on purpose. But he didn't know what to believe anymore.

"Just don't worry about it. Concentrate on your game."

"Yeah you're right."

Students were starting to fill up the bleachers as the cheerleaders came out of the locker room.

Each one of them had sparkly stuff on their eyelids, and a R tattooed on their cheekbone.

Kyle was certain it was Brooke's idea.

He went to the bathroom to calm his nerves, and so he wouldn't have to talk to Brooke.

He splashed water on his face and dried off. He looked back into the mirrior.

"I've gotta get a grip on this."

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Hey Nate do you know where Kyle's been? I've been looking for him all day."

"I think he just went into the bathroom."

"Oh. If i didn't know any better i'd think he was ignoring me. He's not ignoring me is he?"

Nathan quickly looked away from her, but Brooke caught him.

"He is isn't he?!?! Is this about me and Lucas, because i told him--"

"Brooke he's just looking out for you ok? And for that matter so am i! I love my brother but he has hurt you so much in the past and i don't even know if you guys should even be friends."

"Nate i appreciate you guys for caring but this is my decision! I feel like i need to make this right with Lucas."

"He's the one who needs to be making things right with you."

"I know, and he is. We're just friends, nothing more."

"Brooke you and i both know that 'just friends' isn't something Lucas has in mind. He's still into you."

"Well i don't think that's gonna happen Nate. And Kyle needs to know that."

"Then let him know."

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

When Kyle stepped out of the bathroom, nothing could've prepared him for what he saw.

On one side the gym was a sea of THH students, holding up banners and screaming their lungs out. And on the other side, was the SHH students, apparently half the school took off for the first game. Kyle recognized some of them, some were his friends, some were people he used to pass in the hallway.

Then he saw a large group of girls walk in from the side door. They were wearing red and black uniforms and the one in the very front was someone Kyle knew very well.

It was inevitable that Ally was gonna be there. He hoped that she came down with a cold and couldn't go, but that was only wishful thinking.

It's not like he didn't wanna see Ally, he did. BUt he didn't wanna stand the awkwardness between them. It just hurt that they were once friends, and now strangers to each other.

He was walking towards where he was supposed to be standing, but he would have to pass the cheerleaders to get there.

So he quickened his pace and rubbed his face, so maybe they wouldn't recognize him.

"Kyle!"

Too late.

He felt someone pull his arm and turn him around. He was met with Ally's smiling face. It confused him, seeing as they haven't spoken in months.

Before he had time to react she pulled him into a hug. He forgot what it was like to hug her.

Not wanting to be rude, he put his arms around her.

"Hey Ally."

"So, how've you been?" she asked as they pulled away.

"Good i guess, just settling down."

"Yeaa i hear ya. It's a little weird that we're your opponents now."

"Yeah i know. I was shocked when i found out i would have to play against my friends."

"Just so you know, it was AJ that brought the idea to Coach's head." Ally said.

Kyle shook his head, "I knew it. He never really liked me."

"You'll do fine."

"Thanks. Listen i gotta get ready but i'll see you at the game."

"You bet," Ally said as she pulled him into a hug again and kissed his cheek.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

When Brooke thought about it she felt a little guilty for being mad at Kyle. He was just looking out for her.

So she decided to find him and apologize, even if she had to walk right into the boy's bathroom to do it.

She asked everybody, but nobody had seen him since he went into the bathroom all of 15 minutes ago.

She scanned the whole gym until she finally found him. But he wasn't alone.

He hugging a cheerleader from the other team. Brooke just figured it was Ally. SHe was blonde and beautiful, just Kyle's type.

He had told her that they didn't even talk anymore. And now he was cuddling with her?

She watched them as they talked and laughed.

Brooke didn't expect to feel anything except confused, but she slowly started getting angry and teary eyed.

"Brooke? Are you ok?" Lucas asked.

She nodded her head.

"Yeah i'm fine."

"You know you can always talk to me if something's bothering you."

"I know Lucas."

"Alright well i better get back--"

"Lucas do you wanna get back together?"

He looked shocked. This was his dream come true.

"I would be lygin if i said i didn't love you, because i do. So yes, i would wanna get back with you."

"You know, if we do this, we'll have to take it slow."

Lucas nodded, "Yeah i understand. Slow's good. So does this mean we're together?"

"Yeaa, together." Brooke said as her and Lucas hugged and she kissed his cheek.

And someone else watched them.

OTHOTHOTHOTHOTHOTHOTHOTHOTHOTHOTHOTHOTHOTHOTHOTHOTHOTHOTHOTHOTHOTHOTHOTHOTH
