As Peyton limped through the front door Lucas yelled from his car "Run Forest Run!" Peyton looked back and glared while her father laughed.

Once up in her room her dad picked up some laundry to wash. "How is my baby girl?"

"Like I got hit by a semi." Peyton answered dryly.

"Sarcasm. Didn't get that from me." Larry pulled her covers back and allowed her to get in. "You need some sleep. Night."

Right before he got out of the room Peyton asked him something.

"What do you think of Lucas Daddy?"

Larry sighed and leaned against the doorway. "Rake boy? I think he is an intelligent young man who is very sweet to you. And yes I approve." He winked.

Peyton was baffled. "What-?"

"A father knows." He smiled at his confused daughter. "And I couldn't help but not miss the heated looks between you two the whole ride home."

Peyton smiled weakly. "Thanks daddy."

"You're welcome sweetie. Night."

The next morning was Hell for Brooke. She was unbearably tired yet she felt like she had been sleeping for ages. And that throbbing pain in her forehead had to go. Brooke knew this feeling all too well. She was hung over and it wasn't going to be a good day.

Brooke felt blissfully content in the warm blanket that was snuggly wrapped around her petite body. The bed was unusually comfortable. The bed Brooke was use to was either Peyton's bed which was hard and boxy or her own which was too soft. This bed was neither.

Brooke raised herself from the bed to look around. It looked like a boy's room. There were clothes draped everywhere. She noticed an acoustic guitar propped up in a corner and a baby crib in the other. She wrinkled her forehead in confusion. Where the hell am I?

She hadn't been drunk in a while so she forgot how the morning urge to puke felt like. She covered her mouth and ran to what she thought was a bathroom.

She was wrong. It must have been the closet because after she was done she opened her eyes and saw shoes, or there lack of.

She cringed and slowly closed the door. She then walked around the mystery room searching for more clues to who lived there. She ambled over to the large dresser and glanced at the pictures. One was in a burgundy frame, it was a picture of a couple in their early forties; they looked like they were married. And they were carrying a little baby boy. Another was in a sleek black leather frame; it was a picture of a beautiful baby girl. She was in a pink ruffled dress and she was banging pots and pans. She looked so happy. But what caught her eye the most was a silver framed photo of the Raven's basketball team. It made her more at ease that whoever she was bunking with was on the team.

Brooke heard some voices in the other room. So she decided to tip toe over to the door that hopefully leads out into the hall. Brooke still couldn't hear the conversation all that well so she tip toed some more down the hallway and on to the railing on the staircase.

"No mom I can't just give Jenny up for adoption. She is my daughter. Do you and dad understand that or do I need to spell it out for you?"

"Honey you know we understand that, but you are missing school and practice. You can't always do both. You need to think of your future. Nikki did, you should have the right too."

"What about Jenny's future? Do you honestly think I am going to give her a future without a father? She had already lost a mom, I sure as hell aren't going to give up on her now. She is my future."

"Jake,"

"No Mom, save it."

Brooke gasped. Jake Jegelski? That's whose bed she was sleeping in last night? Did they do something? And when did he have a daughter? She ran quietly back into the bedroom when she heard footsteps traveling up the stairs.

She barely made it back into the covers before the door opened and in walked a very pissed off but sexy Jake Jegelski. He didn't notice that Brooke was up, he picked up the basketball on the floor and bounce it at his closet door.

"Who pissed you off hot stuff?" Brooke asked.

Jake looked surprised when he saw that Brooke was indeed up and better than last night.

"Oh, sorry; just parents you know?"

"I would if I knew what that was." Brooke shrugged it off and got out of bed.

"Parents aren't great, huh?" Jake asked as he got some Advil out of his dresser drawer.

"That isn't the date rape drug now is it? I know a tough boy named Lucas who come beat your ass if it is." Brooke smiled but took the pills.

Jake smiled at her reference to Peyton's horrid night. "No, no, just regular Advil here."

As Brooke downed her medicine Jake opened his closet to get a clean shirt.

Jake about gagged at the scene before him.

"Oh about that…I thought it was the bathroom. I will clean it up." Brooke said as she came over to him.

Jake laughed a little and then closed the door. "Nah, it is fine. I will clean it. You probably need to get on home. Let me just clean this up real quick and I will drive you over to your house." Jake walked downstairs to get the cleaning products. He was relieved that his mom had left to go pick up Jenny and his dad from her check up.

Right after he got out of the room she grabbed her purse and shoes and decided to grab a t-shirt from his drawer. She scribbled a little note on a pizza parlors napkin and set it on the corner of his bed.

She then slithered down the stairs and silently slipped out the front door with out Jake seeing.

Jake hummed his way back up the stairs. He was confused when he came to realization that Brooke had left. He picked up her note.

Jake Jake Jake,

Thank you for saving my drunken ass last night.
I will have to find a way to repay you. ;)

Love always.

-Brooke

P.S. Good Luck with Jenny. You should bring her to the river court sometime. She is beautiful and has your eyes.

Jake smiled and folded the note. He wasn't sure if this was serious, it was in fact coming from Brooke Davis, but he was unbelievably happy. Until he got back in his room and remembered the vomit in his closet.
