Chapter 13-

"Guys come down" Brooke yelled up the stairs.

This would be their last dinner, tomorrow everyone will be leaving and moving on. In a way they will be moving on together, but still they all get to go home.

Brooke was exited, she had finally managed to get Haley to agree to join the cheer squad. Sure she knew that their would be lots of work, but it helped to know that she wasn't going to have to go through try outs and watch weird girls trying to make it. She also got Rachel in the squad, and even though she wasn't exited about that she knew that it would be best. Rachel had showed her some moves, and she was also part of the squad at her old school. Brooke knew it was best, and she wanted nothing but the best.

She also started dating Jake, who was a great guy. She was sure that he was the best thing to happen to her, he was the first guy to see her for who she was. Brooke loved the fact that she would be going to school with him, she would get to have an actual relationship. It would be the first time, the first relationship that she feel good about, the first that she feels like it will go somewhere.

By the time Brooke snapped out of her thoughts Jake had his arms wrapped around her from behind, he placed a soft kiss on her neck and she turned her head to smile at him.

Everyone else had arrived and they were now sitting down, the table was covered with a white table cloth. The food placed on it looked all so delicious, and there where candles along the middle.

"Let's dig in" Mouth said with his goofy voice.

Everyone laughed at his comment and did as Mouth instructed, they grabbed from all different things. Haley reached over and got some pasta, it looked really good. Brooke got some salad, while Jake got some steak and potato salad. Peyton got some salad with a side of pasta, Lucas on the other hand got a salad and steak. Nathan got the same as Lucas and Mouth, and Bevin and Rachel got pasta and salad.

They all got wine, Brooke had managed to get them some with her awesomely made fake ID. Brooke, Jake, Lucas, Nathan, and Mouth all got red whine, while the rest of the girls got white.

"This is so good" Mouth said taking a bit of his steak.

"I'm glad we decided to make different foods, I mean everyone likes something different. This way everyone's happy" Peyton pointed out.

"Guys, I can't believe this is our last dinner" Brooke said with a pout.

"Awe, it's okay B" Nathan said, "I'm sure Jake here will take you out more often" he pointed to Jake with his fork.

Everyone laughed at the comment, but it was true. Jake had plans to take her out a lot, they were now dating and he wanted the world to know it.

They continued to eat for the next hour or so, during which they talked about their time living together. Some of the things were funny, while others where sad. But some of them where just plain mean, like when Brooke decided to tell them exactly what she thought of Rachel when she met her. But through the ups and downs they all managed to get along, something that brought them to this moment. Their last night together, the night they would always remember.

When they were done, the boys helped pick up while the girls washed the dishes. Bevin and Rachel put the left overs in the fridge, while Peyton and Haley washed the dishes. Brooke had Jake helping her putting them away, she would dry them and he would put them in their place.

Once they were all done with the dishes they all walked outside and sat around on the benches. About two days the crew had come and placed a little outdoors fire place, which was not like an indoor one. This one was round and had a brick outline, they also got some love seats all around. They all had spend time there, but today would be the first time they actually turned it on.

Brooke sat with Jake cuddling, her head rested on his shoulder and her legs where up next to her. On the seat to their right were Rachel and Bevin, both girls sat with their feet up. But Bevin had them in front of her while her hands wrapped around them, and Rachel just sat indian style. Next to the girls were Haley and Nathan, he sat with his feet set on the floor while she curled to a ball on her side and her head rested on his lap. Right by them where Peyton and Lucas who had managed to lay down, some how he laid there on his back and she was on her side, she was half was on top of him. No one knew how they managed to do it, but they looked really comfortable. Last but not least was Mouth and Skills, both guys just sat with their feet well planted on the floor.

"This feels good" Brooke said.

"Yeah" Haley agreed with her.

Rachel leaned her head to the side and let it fall on Bevin's shoulder, "I'm gonna miss you guys" she let out.

"Rachel, we'll still be friends" Haley told her.

"And you'll both be in the squad" Peyton pointed out.

"I just can't believe this is over" Nathan said, he was currently playing with Haley's hair.

"I know" Lucas said agreeing with him, "I also can't believe we get along."

Nathan gave him a smile, "imagine what people at school will say" he said with a chuckle. To him it was funny how the previous year he left school hating his brother, and now he was going back with him actually being his brother.

"Imagine what they'll say about you two" Bevin said waving her hand between Haley and Nathan, "and you" she waived at Peyton and Lucas, "oh my god, and you" she pointed at Brooke and Jake realizing this, they will all be going back to school with a new mate.

"I think we'll all get hell" Lucas pointed out, he was rubbing Peyton's back and felt her smile on his chest.

"Yeah, I mean last year Peyton and Nathan had broken up at the end of the year. Now she is dating you, and Nathan is dating your best friend. Who just so happens to be one of the smartest kids in school" Bevin said connection all the dots.

"What about me" Brooke asked her, she didn't like the fact that Bevin said all about the rest and not once mentioned her and Jake.

"Well you are dating Jake, who just so happens to be the one guy every girl likes. But they know they can't get because he doesn't date unless he knows the girl is worth it. So I think you'll get a lot of hate from the girls" Peyton said.

"What about me?" Rachel asked, she really wanted to know what they thought the school would do about her.

"Well" Brooke said, "you are the new girl" she said, then she began to think. When she finally found what she wanted to say she started, "and you are really close to one of the stars of the basketball team" she pointed to Lucas. "Plus your like BFFs with the star of the team's girl friend, and you'll be in the squad. So let's just say your in for a treat."

"What is this predictions for the school year?" Haley asked, then she glanced at Lucas and smiled.

"Yes" Brooke said, "now let's do Mouth."

"I think Mouth will stay cool, I mean he had a thing with Bevin but that's it" Rachel said.

"Yeah, plus he's always been friends with Lucas. So, there is nothing new there" Brooke added.

"What about me?" Skills asked.

"Well Mr. Hot chocolate" Brooke said, "you also have nothing to worry about, you are part of the team. And well the only drama you got was that you had Bevin cheat on Mouth. But as long as the school doesn't find out, you'll be okay" Brooke told him.

"Now do me" Haley said, she then heard everyone laughed. She blushed a little at the realization of her words, "let me rephrase that, what about me?"

"I think you'll get tons of crap from the girls" Peyton said, "I know I got some when we dated" she looked over at Nathan.

"You will, but don't worry we'll all be there to help you" Brooke told her, "plus, they have nothing on you. Your smart, and Hot" she said.

"You got that right" Nathan said, which earned him a glare from Lucas.

"I think we should talk about something else" Rachel said.

They had all talked about the next school year for a while, and the topic was getting really old. You could only mentioned things a few times before they got boring, they all understood that the upcoming year would be a bitch. People would not be happy about them breaking the clicks, and they definitively will not be happy about them taking the best looking guys.

Rachel sat straight and looked around, everyone looked so in love. They looked like they were really enjoying the moment. She really didn't want to be the one to ruin it, but she really thought they should talk about this. "I think we should talk about the things we hate about each other, I mean we've been living together for a while and we never really talked about it" she stated, "how about we play a game, we pick a chair then we all say one thing we like about the people sitting there and one thing we hate or dislike." When she got a nod from everyone she began, "I'll be first, so you guys have to say something about us" she said pointing to Bevin and herself.

"Fine" Brooke said, "I think Mouth and Skills should take this one" she pointed to the chair to her left.

Both guys nodded and Mouth spoke first, "I really like that Rachel let me in her life, no questions asked. She didn't care that I was the geek, she just let me in. As for Bevin I love that she's so happy all the time, but I do hate that she lied to me. I don't know why she did it, but I hate that she did it."

It was skills' turn, and after Mouth's words he didn't know what to say. "I like that Bevin cares about people, but sometimes she doesn't think about it and in the way she hurts others. I really think you should start thinking before you do something or say something" he said smiling at her. He then turned to face Rachel, "as for you. I really like you, your a cool girl, but you can be a real bitch sometimes" that was all he said, short and simple.

"You pick the next seat to be judged" Rachel told them.

"Brooke's couch" Mouth said.

"And we want Peyton's couch to judge them" skills said.

"Brooke I love that when you want something your determined to get it, but sometimes you are a little to pushy and not everyone likes that" Lucas said. "As for Jake, you are an awesome dude and I really like you, but sometimes you are to shy. We all want to know about you, but you never let us in all the way."

Peyton lifted her head and looked at the couple across from her, "I love you guys" she said. "Brooke, you are the best friend ever. You're always there and you always try to help me, but when you don't get what you want, you get mad at everyone and you don't care who you hurt in the process. Jake you are a cool dude, but I have to agree with Lucas, you are way to closed, you need to let us in."

"Pick" Rachel order.

"Nate" Peyton said.

"And I think, You two should judge them" Lucas said pointing to Rachel and Bevin.

"Nathan" Rachel said, "I like you, and I love that you make Haley happy. But dude your ego is way to big, and sometimes you can be a little to cocky."

"That's so true" Bevin agreed, "and you think you can get any girl you want" she said without thinking of her words.

Rachel shook her head and continued, "Hales, you know I love you. I love that you didn't care about anything and just became my friend. I love that you care about people, and always want to help them. There really is nothing to hate about you, but if you think about it. You care way to much of what Lucas thinks, you always want to please him. And you need to know that you should be happy, and you don't need his permission for that" she gave her a smile, which was returned by Haley.

"I have to agree with her" Bevin said, "there is nothing more to say, I think she said it all."

Everyone laughed at Bevin, but in a way she was right. Rachel had managed to say everything most people were thinking, and the words she used were just right.

"We pick the only ones left, Peyton and Lucas" Haley said.

"And we want I think we're the only ones who haven't judged, so I pick us" he said. He saw everyone nod and began speaking. "Peyton, your a cool girl and I love you, but as I've told you before you need to smile more. I've seen you smile a lot more now, but when you go to your deep side, it kinda creeps people out" he said. "As for Lucas, I love that your so protective of Haley, but at the same time I hate it. Sometimes I feel like there might not be anyone good enough for you to let her be with."

Haley looked up at him and smiled, she then turned to Lucas and Peyton and began to talk. "I love that Lucas let's me in, I know that we've been best friends since we were little. But not all best friends share everything. But I do hate when you try to control my life, I know you're only trying to help. But Luke I want to make my own mistakes, but I promise to come to you when I need you" she told him. She then looked at Peyton and smiled, "Peyton" she said. "I love that you gave Rachel a second chance, you knew that Brooke didn't like her yet you took a chance on her. I also agree with Nathan, you need to smile more. You have a beautiful smile and we love to see you happy."

By now they were all just quiet, they had experienced a great thing. They all managed to say great things about each other, some were bad. But they still understood why they said them. They stayed in their spots until the fire burned out, most of them had fallen asleep in the silence. The only they could hear were the crickets, and a few leafs on the trees moving because of the wind. The air was warm, and they were glad that they spent their last night all together and enjoying every second of it.
