3 MONTHS LATER

"Can you believe that high school is finally over." Brooke asked as she folded a shirt

"It is weird." Faith said as she bit into an apple

Brooke turned to Faith with a raised brow. "Who are you, and what have you done with my Faith?"

Faith rolled her eyes. "What have I done now? And 'your Faith'?" She gave Brooke a weird look

"You're eating an apple."

"Your point?"

"In the 7 ½ months I have known you, I've never even seen you look at healthy food."

Faith shrugged. "It was the only thing in your kitchen."

Brooke looked around her bare room. "It will be weird not coming back to this loft when I come to New York."

"Please! You're never going to come back to New York." Faith said sadly

Brooke went and sat on the bed next to Faith. "I will since you'll be here."

"I cant believe that you're leaving. It's so weird."

"It's funny that it's my mom's job that's moving them this time." Brooke laughed

The girls got quiet as they sat lost in their own thoughts.

"I still can't believe that you came back to New York." Faith said quietly

"Me either." Brooke said and gave Faith a smile

Brooke's cell phone rang, and she stood up to continue packing as she answered.

"Hello?"

"Can you believe that this time tomorrow, you'll finally be back where you belong?"

Brooke laughed. "Hey baby. What are you doing?"

"Staring at the clock, counting down the minutes until you'll be here with me." Peyton laughed. "What are you doing?"

"Packing. I'm almost done."

"Yay! Tell Faith I said hi."

"Peyton says hi." Brooke said to Faith

"What's up biatch?" Faith yelled so that Peyton could hear her

The three girls all laughed.

"I'll let you finish packing. I just wanted to call and say hi." Peyton said

"Babe, this is the third time you've called today, 'just to say hi'. I know you miss me, but Jesus woman; you're starting creep me out! Can we say 'stalker'?" Brooke joked

"I just miss you." Peyton protested. "Fine, I won't call again."

Brooke laughed. "I love you."

"I love you too."

Brooke hung up the phone and tossed it onto her bed. She sat down on the bed, and laid down next to her phone with a sigh.

"I'm gonna miss you. You know that, right?" Brooke said to Faith

"I know B." Faith smiled. "But you're finally going home."

"I feel bad for Brooke." Sydney said from her spot next Lucas on the couch

"Why is that?" Peyton asked as she hung up her phone

"Because she has to deal with you." Sydney joked

Peyton feigned hurt. "What is that supposed to mean?"

"Pey, please! You're hard enough to deal with just being friends." Taylor scoffed. "Poor Brooke is your girlfriend, plus she's going to have to live with you. We can either leave you or kick you out whenever we get tired of you. Brooke doesn't get that privilege."

"At least I'll be getting some." Peyton came back with

Taylor winced. "Ouch. What a comeback." She said sarcastically

"I just cant believe that she went back to New York after everything that happened." Haley said

Peyton shrugged. "She wanted to give us some more time before we jumped back into a relationship. Besides, she didn't want to have to switch schools again this year. It just worked out better this way."

"7 ½ months she's been gone." Lucas marveled. "It's been weird."

Everyone nodded as they though back over the past months.

"I'm just glad you two made up. You had us all worried there for a while." Nathan said

"What can I say? Love won out." Peyton smiled at the thought of Brooke

I'm back! Did you miss me? So here's how this is going to work:

First- I'm going to try to update every Monday and Thursday night, give or take a day. If you're lucky, you might get more than 2 updates a week. I'm going to try to stick by this as long as I can, but if I miss a few updates, I'm sorry.

Second- I'm getting really tired of trying to name chapters, so the chapter names will just be quotes from inside that chapter.

Lastly- To all of the Brooke/Faith lovers: I understand that you want to see them together, but give this story a chance to play out, and I promise if you still dont like it in a little while, I'll do an alternate ending to "Bestest Friends". Just because you guys rock. But give this story a chance, because I promise you will end up liking how it turns out!
