Sometimes things don't always turns out the way we planned –

Still on the Flashback…

Rachel and Brooke were silent for while thinking about how things have changed, until the silence was broken with Brooke talking, "Peyton is back, she got here 2 days ago and she has spoken to Lucas."

Rachel looked at her, Brooke said that in a quiet way, but at the same time tired. As she had given up, and Rachel said, "that backstabbing bitch!" Brooke started to laugh and Rachel started laughing too.

They stopped laughing and asked Rachel, "she had the balls to tell you that she has spoken with Lucas?"

Brooke said "no, she asked me I said no and then I asked her and she said no." For a second Rachel didn't understand, but then said "she lied." Brooke nodded and Rachel continued "how can she lie like that to you, after everything that happened and still think that you wouldn't see through her shit!", Brooke sighed and said "well looks like she didn't know Rach, I don't know anything, don't know what it means and I'm afraid to find out."

Rachel stopped walking from one side to the other and asked, "how do you know she's lying, not that I don't think but ..." Brooke said, " for the same reason that you knew that I was pregnant, that I know you have a crush on Nathan and that Haley is hiding something.. you just know."

Rachel threw herself on the chair and said, "I do have a crush on him", Brooke smiled and said "I know". Rachel changed the face from the smile one to I'm up to something one and said "what's Haley hiding?"

Brooke laughed and said "I don't know but I will find out. And no, you can't talk or do anything with Nathan" Rachel agreed and said "I know, this all sucks!" , Brooke looked at her rising from the bed and said "tell me about it". The two laughed Rachel and said, "wait here a second" she left the room and quickly returned with a bag in her hand and gave it to Brooke that said, "what is it?"

Rachel pulled her into the bathroom and said, "let's get this over with" Brooke looked inside the bag and saw what was and said "a pregnancy test?" Rachel nodded and Brooke continued, "ten?!? Rachel, what you do with ten pregnancy tests at home?"

Rachel laughed and sat on the chair in the bathroom and said, "I bought when I realized that you could be pregnant and ten because I know you will not believe it at first one anyway".

Brooke laughed and took one, five minutes later she looked and said, "It's positive", Rachel stood up and gave her another one.

Half an hour and ten positive later the two were sitting and looking at the tests and Rachel said, " Yeah, I think you're pregnant", Brooke looked at her and said, "Really? Do you think so Rachel??, Brooke looked at her watch and said, "I can't deal with this now, we're late for the party", she pulled Rachel and they went to the Tric.

Nathan and Haley were in the apartment getting ready and talking about the party, Nathan said, "Looks amazing, Hales. Brooke and Rachel did a great job". Haley turned and said, "Rachel? I bet it was all Brooke."

Nathan looked at her and said, "Rachel is different from what people say and you more than anyone should know", Haley recalled the conversation he had with Luke once he started hanging out with Brooke, and said, "Lucas said the same thing to me when he started hanging out with Brooke"

She looked at Nathan and said, "Nathan you have something for Rachel?", Nathan looked at her hurt and said "Don't believe you're asking me that, but of course not Haley I would never do anything like that to you and you know very well. I just think you should give Rachel a chance nothing else, you don't know her."

And Haley said. "And you know. That's what you're saying?" Nathan looked at her and said " I don't want to argue with you, you know that there is nothing between me and Rachel, don't know why you are looking for a fight" Haley looked at him and said "Neither do I, sorry. I love you Nathan" they kissed and he said "love you too Hales."

Brooke and Rachel arrived at Tric, mouth was already there putting the music. The three started to talk when a hand closed Brooke eyes, she could recognize that touch anywhere, Lucas.

She turned and they hug, he said, "I miss you pretty girl." She said "you have no idea".

He turned and greeted Mouth and Rachel, who soon after sneaked out to see other people who were arriving, leaving them alone. Lucas looked around and said, "Everything is amazing, congratulations Brooke".

She looked around and said "thanks, but I had help from the Mouth and Rachel". Lucas said, "you and Rachel" Brooke said, "we became friends, really good ones actually, since I was abandoned here, she was here for me". Lucas looked at her and said, "sorry I didn't call… I wanted it.."

She looked at him and said, "Then why you didn't? Did you miss me?", he said " Of course I did Brooke, but I needed some time alone with my mother after all that happened. I thought of you all the time."

"You thought of me but not enough to call me and therefore you have no idea what I've been through and I really needed you, Lucas" Brooke said.

Before Lucas could speak she went on, "And what about Peyton? You had time to talk to her, didn't you?!" He said, "she told you that? Brooke I didn't call her", Brooke saw it was true what he said and didn't understand because she knows that Peyton lied earlier.

And then he said, "We just exchanged messages, I just called today to say that I was back." Brooke felt her heart break, she looked at him with sadness in her eyes and said "Messages…I think that my got lost because I didn't get even one" before he could say something Rachel pulled Brooke by the hand saying that Nathan and Haley were there.

Everyone applauded when Haley and Nathan got in at Tric. Haley and Brooke hugged and Haley said, "Thank you Brooke!", Brooke said, " It was nothing Hales".

Karen came with the camera and said, "It's the perfect time for a picture, everybody get together." Nathan, Haley, Lucas, Brooke, Rachel and Peyton, got closer and Karen took the picture.
