Brooke tried to wash off the icing but it wouldn't come off. The white icing started to smear all over shirt, making it worse. She dipped the washrag and rubbed even harder on her shirt. She knew that it wasn't working but she had to do something other than think about Peyton. She was furious at what she did, she wanted to go back and slap Peyton across her face. She didn't know why she was getting totured for doing nothing. Of course, she should have stayed out of their business but she was worried about the both of them. She was just doing what she thought was best. Brooke kept running until her hand started to hurt, she didn't notice but tears started to come down her face. She felt embarrassed and played like fool. This was not going to stop, it was going to continue until Brooke left or Peyton left. Brooke then started to think about Lindsay, wondering what she would do when she sees Brooke. Brooke groaned, looking up at the ceiling. She felt outnumbered.
"Damn it." Brooke growled angrily, she slammed the cloth on the sick and stared at herself in the mirror. This was not her, this was not the person that she was. Everything was turning upside down since Peyton and Lindsay had gotten here. She wanted nothing to do with them but if they wanted to fight, they would get one. Brooke took in a deep breath and whipped her tears from her face. She would have to suck it up and tell Peyton that the fighting would have to stop. It was all going to have to stop. Lucas had to find who he loves and move on with life and hopefully leave Tree Hill.
"Brooke?" She heard a familiar voice call her name. Iris and Millicent poked their head out, trying to see if Brooke wasn't undressing in the bathroom. Once they saw that she still had her clothes on, they walked over to her. Millicent comforted her while Iris looked at her black shirt.
"We have to get you something to wear." Iris said to her, Brooke rolled her eyes and huffed. She didn't even want to be here anymore, she just wanted to go home and hide in her room. The fact that Peyton and Lindsay are here, it's changing her. She feels more like everything is her fault, even though she knows it's not. Iris saw a tear leave Brooke's eyes and she whipped it from her cheek. She didn't want to see her best friend like this.
"What a bitch." Millicent said to Brooke, Brooke chuckled and nodded. Tears were whelming up in her eyes, she was beginning to think about the rest of the days that she has to go with them. She just wished that Lucas would hurry up and pick already. They walked over to the bed and sat down, they didn't know what to say to Brooke. Millicent gave Iris a look but Iris didn't think it was the best idea to do or say anything yet.
"I don't know what I did wrong; I was just protecting my friend." Brooke said, with tears in her eyes. Brooke felt as though she was target and they would do nothing until she's gone.
"You did nothing wrong. You actually did the right thing." Iris told, rubbing her back. Brooke nodded, taking in a deep breath.
"If Lucas chooses one of them, I lose him and if he doesn't…I still lose him." Brooke covered her face, trying to hide her emotions. Millicent gave Iris one last look and Iris gave in. Iris huffed, removing Brooke's hand away from her face. "I cant lose Lucas. I just can't."
"Would you do anything to fight for him?" Iris raised her eyebrows, making Brooke look at her. Brooke was confused, she had no clue what they were going on with this. It was weird question to ask and she was afraid to answer. "Okay, look. We have something that we need to tell you." Iris said to her, looking over at Millicent.
"What?" Brooke looked at the both of them.
"It all started when Peyton and Lindsay came back." Millicent began.
"We knew what they were here for but we didn't think that they were right for Lucas...instead...someone else was." Iris slowly said to her, making Brooke understand who she was talking about.
"You Brooke." Millicent told her, Brooke's eyes widened. All her words were stuck in her throat, she didn't know what to say to them.
"You know him more then anyone, you should see the way that he looks at you...it's...beautiful and the way he talks about..." Iris shook her head with a smile, remembering all the good and wonderful things that Lucas said about Brooke. "You guys are in love with each other, I know and you but your too stubborn to realize it. So, we started making plans...to make you guys become closer so you can realize it." Iris said softly.
"Just like Haley and Peyton." Millicent swallowed.
"What?" Brooke said confused.
"Skills is with Lindsay, Haley and Nathan are with Peyton and Iris and I are with you." Iris rubbed Brooke's shoulder.
"Like a game?" Brooke narrowed her eyebrows. Brooke quickly stood up and stormed out of the room. "You guys are insane!" Brooke yelled, trying to get as far away from them as possible.
"Look, Brooke. If you love him, then you should fight for him. If you don't, then Peyton will have him forever." Millicent told her, chasing after her. Brooke sharply turned around, stopping in her tracks.
"What about Lindsay?" Brooke asked, remembering that they told her that Lindsay was teaming up with Skills.
"We all know she wont win." Iris shrugged her shoulders, Brooke turned back around and continued to walk away from them. She wondered why they were so much hatred between everyone. The whole group was separated. Brooke stopped again, looking directly at them.
"Does Lucas know?" Brooke asked, Millicent shook her head. Brooke tried to walk off but Iris stopped her.
"And he doesn't have to know either. No one has to know." Iris said to Brooke. Brooke thought it was the stupidest idea that she has ever heard. Soon, the plan would just crumble down into pieces.
"This is insane. This isn't a game. Lucas isn't a prize." Brooke whispered, trying to keep her voice down.
"If you don't fight for him, then he be gone forever. Your worst fear would come to life." Millicent warned Brooke.
"Your saying that as though you think I'm In love with Lucas." Brooke raised her eyebrows, questioning the two of them. Iris and Millicent shared a look. Brooke took in a deep breath, couldn't believe that they thought that Brooke was in love with Lucas, even though she knew she was. "No." Brooke said to the both of them. "No." She pointed and walked off.
