Peyton and Larry Sawyer sat together in the waiting room at Tree Hill Hospital. Peyton studied the bland white walls and let her thoughts drift to what she would do to the place if they gave her a paintbrush and some time alone. After she decided that nothing she could do would ever make this place pleasant to her, her mind wandered to Lucas. She

Brooke smiled at Peyton. "Well, my friend, we have a small dilemma. See, I am boyfriend-less and your man ditched you for his married brother. Sad." Brooke tapped Peyton's leg. "At least you can cheer again!" Brooke gave a big smile.

She stood up and walked to Peyton's closet door. She pointed at their list of men. "This obviously is not working." She crossed out Larry's name as she gave a small sigh. "We could always fight over Mouth." She said turning to Peyton.

"Of course," she paused to sit at Peyton's desk. "there is always that hot guy with a cute baby."

Peyton's smile faltered a little at Brooke's latest words. She was glad that Brooke and Jake were getting along so well, she truely was....but she still couldn't help but feel a little uneasy about Brooke starting to like Jake. Peyton loved her best friend, but she also knew how she could be with guys....and she just didn't want to see Jake and Jenny get hurt. They were..are...a huge part of her life. She crossed her legs on the bed and gave Brooke a smile.

"Come here Cheer-Girl." She said, patting the bed next to her. "And tell me all about what's been going on with the hot guy with the cute baby."

Brooke Davis almost never blushed but for some reason, she felt her cheeks get a little warm. She wasn't really sure why she mentioned Jake; he and Peyton had this whole history and Brooke didn't want to complicate things with them. The truth was she liked Jake a little more than she wanted too.

She sat down next to Peyton. She gave her a smile. "He's a great guy." She thought about how complicated things had gotten between them because of Lucas. She didn't want to lose Peyton again because of a guy. She smiled again, she did that a lot when she was nervous.

"I've got dibs on Mouth." Brooke said as she stood up. She went back to the closet doors. Her eyes were stuck on Jake's name on Peyton's list. She went back to her own list and crossed out Lucas, it was something she had been meaning to do for a long time.

The one thing about having the same best friend since you were 6, is that you can usually tell what the other person is thinking. And Peyton saw that pink tinge rise in Brooke's cheeks, and the sparkle in her eye when Peyton brought up Jake. She knew that Brooke was starting to get more than just platonic feelings for her ex-boyfriend. Peyton's stomach twisted. She knew she had no right to be jealous. Especially after everything she had done.

"What?" Peyton cried out in mock outrage. "He was my fantasy boy draft. I should totally get dibs on Mouth." She grinned and got up off the bed. Her eyes flicked over Brooke's face, full of determination, as she crossed out Lucas. Peyton put her hand on Brooke's shoulder in a comforting sort of way. "I have an idea." She said before disappearing from the room for a second
