Brooke's POV

After I figured out where the noise was coming from, I told Peyton I'd be back then left the room. "BROOKEE!"
"WHAT?!" I shouted into my phone. "What just happened?! Why did you call me?!" Ross said loudly at the other end of the line. "I'm sorry! I must have butt dialled you by accident.." I said back, leaning against the wall in the hallway. "Obviously...but seriously, I can't believe you lied to me!"
"How did I lie to you?"
"You said you and Peyton didn't have a thing!" He said, obviously getting mad. "Cause we don't!"
"He just told you he loved you!"
"I didn't say I loved him back!" I shouted at him. "Oh yah then what were you gonna say?"
"..." I didn't know what to answer. "Brooke?!"
"I don't know! I was speechless" I finally said. "How do you not know?! Do you love him or not?!" Ross shouted at me. "...I-I don't know! Stop screaming at me!" I said, as tears rolled down my cheek. "...So what you're saying is you actually have to think about it?!"
"Yes! I do okay?!"
"You said he wouldn't get in between us?!"
"I know! I just thought I could get over it! But I can't Ross!" I said, crying a lot more now. "Why not?"
"I don't know! Why can't you get over Laura?" I shouted. "...I am over her.."
"No you're not Ross, don't even try to lie to me!"
"I don't love Laura! You're the one that loves Peyton!" Ross shouted louder than before. "Maybe cause he was there for me when you weren't!" I blurted out. Then no one said anything, all you could hear was me crying. "Stop crying Brooke" He said, a lot calmer than before. "How can I stop crying when we're fighting again?! All we do is fight! We can't even go a week without it!"
"...Can we talk, like in person?"
"No we can't!! I need to be alone for a bit...bye" I said then hung up the phone. Then I whipped my tears away and entered my room. "Hi.." I said to Peyton, awkwardly. "Hey" he said back. I sat beside him and no one said anything. "You heard everything right?" I said, breaking the silence. "Yeah but I'm really sorry Brooke." Peyton said. "Why?"
"It's all my fault! If I would have know you and Ross were together I wouldn't have said that..."
"No, it's not your fault. I shouldn't have lied to you. I just knew you had feelings for me and I didn't wanna hurt your feelings" I confessed, looking down. "It's fine, I'm fine. I should probably go though" He said, then got up. "No wait!" I said, getting up too. "I mean..Alreadyyy?"
"Yeah sorry, bye" Peyton said, then he left the room. Once I heard him shut the front door, I sighed and sat on my bed. "So that happened..." I thought to myself. Peyton's obviously upset. Ross is upset. I'm upset. I literally just caused all this! This is all my fault! The more I thought about it, the more I got upset. A tear ran down my cheek then I burst into tears again. Why do I keep ruining everything?
