Tiger87- Totally agree with you. Really gets on my nads when people get them together in the first chapter lol
Back at Lucas's house, he and Haley were talking about the weird conversation she and Brooke had had earlier that day.
"It just didn't seem sincere. And I know you like Brooke, and I want so badly to see what you seen in her, but I just can't trust her. Not after everything she's put me through."
"I know", said Lucas sadly, wishing that there was some way he could get Haley to see the good that he knew was in Brooke.
"So I told her I was sorry and that I hated the person I'd become and I'd try to be better to her."
"And she bought it?"
"Yeah, who knew smart girls were so dumb!" laughed Brooke. Peyton glared at her from across the table.
"Why do you do this to her? Haley's a good person Brooke, I bet you two would be good friends if you gave her half a chance. There's no need to treat her like this." Peyton stood up angrily. "Either way, I'm not going to sit here and listen to you two plot to hurt an innocent girl who's done nothing wrong. I'll see you."
"God, what's up her ass? It's not like we're killing anyone. She just really annoys me. It's like, Haley she doesn't even realise how lucky she is. That's what bugs me. She's so god damn perfect."
"Brooke, you're a little bit psycho sometimes, did you know that?" said the brunette sitting at the other side of the table.
"Speaking of psycho's, how was juvie, Gaby?" Asked Brooke sarcastically. "Did it work this time?"
"Well you know what they say, third time's a charm."
Lucas had managed to convince Haley to go out to a club with him and a few of their friends, just to get her out of the house. Haley had been moping recently and none of her friends knew quite why. Lucas had an inkling, but he wasn't going to say anything until he was more sure.
"You gotta be kidding me, Lucas, Brooke's here. I don't wanna speak to her right…. Too late, here she comes."
"Haley! Oh my god, what are you doing here? Haley, Haley, this is my friend, Haley, this is Gaby. Gaby, this is-"
"Yeah, Brooke, it's Haley, I get it." Gaby turned to Haley, "She's little drunk right now, I'm gonna take her over here", she said, as she pointed in the direction they'd just come, slinging Brooke's arm around her shoulder as she went. "That was perfect!", she giggled as she dragged Brooke back across the dance floor.
"Yeah? I thought so", she laughed, "I have a lot of experience in that particular area. I sure love being drunk… We are getting drunk tonight, right?"
"Oh absolutely" replied Gaby, smiling. "Tequila?"
"You're evil! Yes, gimme."
After a few shots of tequila, Gaby and Brooke decided to get off their asses and dance, and soon they had the attention of most of the guys and a lot of the girls on the floor.
"It just isn't my kind of place, Luke. I appreciate you doing this for- Oh my god, are they making out?" exclaimed Haley, as she suddenly spotted Gaby and Brooke getting more than close on the dance floor.
"What?!" said Lucas whipping his head round, "Who? Are who making out?"
"Brooke and her friend, Gaby, they're making out on the dance floor… Brooke's gay?"
"Brooke is what we call heteroflexible. She like guys, but she'll make out with pretty much anyone she can get her little manicured fingertips on" said Peyton, as she walked up to the table. "Haley, can I talk to you for a second?"
"Um, sure Peyton," she replied as she stood up, "what's up?"
"Can we go somewhere a little more private? It's kind of important and that's the reason I don't want Brooke seeing me with you."
"Sure." The two girls headed over to the back wall of the club, and after looking around, Peyton sighed. "I hate doing this, but I like you and I don't wanna see you get hurt. Brooke is my best friend, and I love her, and because of that I need to tell you this. She's trying to screw you over. She's pretending to be sorry for what she's done to you so she can humiliate you again. I don't know why." Haley went quiet, and her face went blank. "I'm really sorry Haley. I know it's shit."
"Yeah, it is. Do you think you can find out why she's doing this to me? I mean… You know what? I don't care. I'll be right back."
"Haley!" Peyton called after her, but it was too late. Haley was storming across the club towards the Brooke and Gaby shaped mass on the dance floor. She ripped them apart and grabbed Brooke by the arm, pulling her towards the doors.
"Haley what the hell are you doing?!" she screamed.
"Me?! What the hell am I doing?! What the hell are YOU doing, Brooke? What's your problem? Why are you doing this to me? And don't you dare bullshit me this time, because I knew you were screwing around last time, I can read you like a book Brooke Davis, so don't you even dream about lying to me."
Brooke, not that she'd ever admit it, was a little scared of the tiny tutor in front of her, balled fisted and red faced, angry as hell at her. It was intimidating. Her reason for hurting the girl, she realised, was probably topping the stupidity list. Gaby. She was the reason Brooke was being such a bitch. She had a little girl crush that was making her treat Haley like she was nothing. Peyton had been right. Why was she hurting her? To impress the girl that had ruined her life in the first place. It didn't make much sense, she could admit that, but would apologising to Haley help her in any way?
"Why do you care? What does it even matter to you?"
"Are you serious? You make my life complete hell everyday Brooke. God! How many times do I have to make this speech before you understand that? Why can't you just stop it?"
Out of the corner of her eye, Brooke could see Gaby walking over, and boy did she look annoyed.
"Quick, come with me."
"What? No!"
"Come with me or this will never end."
Brooke grabbed Haley roughly by the arm and pulled her out the back exit of the club, seeing a smirk come across Gaby's face as she watched.
OK, what do you all think? Any suggestions for the story? I have some ideas, but it's for you guys, you say where this goes.
