A/N: Thank you for the kind reviews lovelies. Sorry this chapter is shorter, and crap.
'It's been a month Lucas, how can you not tell her you love her?' Haley reprimanded her blonde best friend.
Lucas sighed and tossed a stress ball up in the air. 'I can't Hales, I just can't. I'd be lying to her.'
'LYING?! Lucas damn you, she doesn't deserve this, she's been patient, and understanding. And you can't make up your stupid mind? This isn't fair, tell her how you feel.' Haley stormed out of his room and slammed the front door of his house shut.
Lucas just tossed the stress ball up in the air again. He needed to call Brooke.
' , why is there an extra shadow of darkness surrounding you?' The brunette cheerleader said as she stretched her arms.
They were outside of Peyton's about to leave for a run, there was a championship game coming up next month and Brooke was more determined than ever before to get in complete shape before she drilled her squad.
Obviously that meant Peyton had to help her.
'Brooke, did you sleep with Lucas?' The blonde blurted out. Brooke stood up straight, the confusion apparent on her face.
'What the hell? Where's this coming from? No I haven't, he's dating you duh. Did someone say something?'
Peyton sighed, 'I mean before he and I started dating Brooke. Did you and him sleep together? I was in the change rooms and overheard Theresa and her minions talk about Tree Hill's most scandalous sexcapades.' She sat down on the curb and rested her forehead on her arms.
'Peyton,' Brooke said coming to sit beside her friend, 'Please don't hate me.' She whispered, and when Peyton looked up at her, she dropped her gaze to the ground.
'It was before he spoke to you, and before you liked him, and trust me, way before you guys dated, God I wish I could take it back I swear, but just, he seemed cute and I know I should've told you but I mean you guys are so happy, and he loves you, he chose you! Not like there was a choice but...don't hate me please. I'm so sorry.'
Peyton's eyes widened, 'He DOESN'T love me Brooke, you know that. God was this just some sick plan of yours, huh? TO get some really great guy to like me, but only once you've had him. Brooke it's been a month since I told him I was in love with him. He hasn't said it back. Is that because of you too? Is he in love with you? Do you love him?'
'Peyton, I-.'
'No Brooke. I'm done. Have a nice life.'
And as Brooke watched her best friend walk back into her house, the clouds finally covered the sun completely and it began to rain.
'It's over. We're over.' Peyton said coldly as she glared at her ex-boyfriend.
Lucas sat up on his bed, he didn't know what to expect when Peyton called him yesterday. He wanted to go to the river court but it was pouring so he had no other choice but to stay in. So when his girlfriend, now ex, called him this morning in dire need to talk, he postponed his date with the courts for another day.
But that shouldn't be his main issue.
'I'm sorry. I'm sorry I just don't know if I love you.' He admitted.
'Yeah well now I know why, it's cause you're in love with Brooke.' Peyton laughed sarcastically. 'Don't worry Lucas, I know. I know how my ex-best friend stole your innocence after your first basketball game. God you two are pathetic. You deserve one another. I'm gone.'
'Peyton I'm sorry.' He honestly admitted.
And she was gone.
Then, all Lucas Scott could think about was if Brooke still liked to drink cherry coke late at night.
The next few weeks flew by and Tree Hill's cheerleaders had won the championship.
Everyone was overjoyed, except the captain.
After they'd won Peyton just walked out and drove home, she and Brooke still hadn't sorted things out.
Brooke checked her phone and walked to her car, two texts from Lucas. She sighed. She had met up with Lucas to talk about what happened. He admitted to her it was his fault too for not telling Peyton earlier in their relationship.
She leaned against her car door and opened her texts,
I wanna be w/ u.
Text number two:
Plz meet me at the rivercourt.
She closed her phone and got in her car, from here on out, it was either the rivercourt or her house.
