There's A Thin Line Between Love And Friendship!

Subsiding My Feelings

The next morning came pretty fast it felt like I hadn't slept. The sun rose kissing the side of my face. I slowly open my eyes and groan at the headache that had started to form. Shouldn't have had those Sambuca shots mixed with the vodka. I look at the clock on the bedside table... not too bad only noon. I lift the cover and climb out of the bed walking to the bathroom for a real hot shower.

Once I was done I got dressed and headed down to the kitchen. Rachel was cooking again. Lucas was sitting on the couch in the pantry with Peyton on his lap kissing him. I looked away and saw Jake talking to Haley out by the pool.

"Afternoon sleeping beauty" Rachel says as I plonk myself down on a stool at the island "Here" She hands me 2 aspirin and a glass of water.

"Thanks" I take them and gulp down the water.

"Oh and this" She pulled out an orange and blue smoothie looking drink from the fridge "This will help"

"Oh the mighty hangover miracle drink you created back home in Tree Hill" I smiled taking a sip "Oh I forgot how nice this was"

"Morning Nate" Rachel says looking over my shoulder at him.

"Morning Rach" He replies walking into the kitchen standing beside me "Morning Brooke"

"I'm going for a run" I say getting up "Save this for me Rach" I put my drink back in the fridge and head out avoiding contact with Nathan.

As I'm running up the path to the cabin I see Haley standing on the step looking at me "Brooke..." I stop running when I get to the front of the cabin taking out my iPod headphones to see Haley now standing in front of me "Brooke about last night"

"Oh you mean when you slip up that you were cheating on Chris with Nathan" I say going to walk pass her and into the cabin, but she stops me.

"Brooke it wasn't like that"

"If I recall correctly Chris and Nathan were bestfriends and you were bestfriends with Alex" I state looking back at her "I always did wonder what happened between the four of you... now I know"

"It wasn't like that" She says again "Alex and Nathan weren't meant to be Brooke"

"They were perfectly fine Haley" I reply "They were happy"

"Nathan and I were meant to be a one night thing" She defends "It was meant to be a drunken one night thing that's all"

"Yeah which turned out to be so much more huh?" I shake my head "And then there's Nathan who judged me for a whole different scenario"

"Brooke..."

"Just drop it Haley... I don't wanna hear it" I huff turning and walking back into the cabin everyone sitting in pantry watching us.

"Brooke..." I hear her yell again.

"No Haley... I said forget it" I yell back running up to my room and slamming the door behind me.

I walk around my room looking through my drawers "Wanna tell me what's going on?" Rachel says walking into my room and plonking herself down on my bed "You and Haley seem not so friendly anymore"

"You were right" I shrug "She is a bitch and always will be"

"What she do?"

"Doesn't matter" I tell my red headed friend "Tomorrow we go home and I can be away from all this for a while"

"Brookie..." Her voice sounded worried "You okay?"

"Yeah" I nod planting a fake smile on my face "I'm fine Rach... now let's go eat" I pull her from the bed and down stairs to eat.
