Peyton stood at the bottom of the stairs waiting for Lucas to come down. It was their second date and she was already in love with him but she was not sure if he was. Before he had been going out with Haley James and she knew that he had been madly in love with her.

Lucas stood in front of his mirror trying to choose whether his hair looked ok. He looked across to the left of his mirror and then stopped when he saw a picture of him and Haley standing arm in arm by the river court. He felt a pang in his heart, he missed her but he knew he had to move on. He thought that he should visit her brother Nathan he had spoken to anyone but Luke since the car accident. He through the thoughts aside tonight was his date with Peyton and nothing was standing in the way of that as he walked down the stairs he saw Peyton's smile and he knew that he was going to be ok.

Nathan sat on the sofa starring at the TV, there was a chat show on and the audience was laughing but Nathan did not find it funny. He remembered the night Haley died she had asked him to tape this how for her; she had watched it every night until he could remember.

"Nathan can you tape that chat show for me" Haley yelled from her room.

"Can't you miss one show it isn't even funny!" Nathan shouted back.

"That's because you have no sense of humour" she laughed

Nathan laughed.

"I'll be back from Brooke's tomorrow morning and don't worry I won't drink before I drive."

Nathan could still hear her laugh, it was a beautiful laugh, and when he thought about it he could always see her face telling him to be safe or to not drink. Then he remembered the phone call when Brooke told him that Haley had been killed in a car crash. The words were ringing round is head" Haley's dead" he still couldn't believe his older sister was gone; the only one who understood him. He felt his grip on the remote tightening and then he felt anger spreading through him he wanted to kill whoever had killed his sister before he knew he had chucked the remote at the wall and the picture above the TV shattered to the floor with crash.

Lucas and Peyton entered the restraunt laughing at a joke Lucas had just told. The waiter took them to the table Peyton had reserved. They sat down; Peyton gazed at Lucas as he flicked his blonde hair away from his blue eyes. He looked so handsome when he did that she thought, he looked up at her and smiled his eyes twinkling. "So I have just finished listening to this amazing c.d. and I thought that you might like it." Peyton said. Peyton fished in her handbag for the c.d. and handed it to Lucas."How did you know? This is my favourite band ever!" Lucas said shocked. He leaned across the table and kissed her. Peyton was so shocked she did not know what to say but then she leaned in and kissed him and finally she knew that he did have feelings for her. She felt so happy as she looked briefly into his sapphire blue eyes and they smiled warmly at each other. They didn't even notice the waiter trying desperately to take their order.

Nathan was picking up the broken glass of the picture sprayed across the floor. He had in his hand a particularly sharp piece of glass; he twisted it around in his fingers, he knew he shouldn't even be thinking about hurting himself but the idea seemed more appealing than ever. Just as the glass came close to his wrist the doorbell rang. He put down the glass and slowly walked towards the door and looked through the small glass hole. He saw a pair of brown eyes and some straight brown hair. He knew who this was and opened the door. "Hi Brooke. What you doing here?"

"Here to see you Nate. What do you think I'm here doing delivering pizza, are you going to let me in then?

"Um…"

"I'll take that as a yes"

Brooke pushed passed Nathan and into the house.

Brooke entered the flat. There were pizza boxes and beer bottles littered everywhere and then she noticed the glass shattered across the floor. She sat on the sofa having to move a pile of pizza delivery adverts to find a clear spot. She looked across at Nate standing in the doorway, he looked embarrassed and confused.

"Nate, what's being going on with you?"

Nathan sat next to her and she looked into his eyes. They were sad eyes; eyes that didn't understand what had happened.

"Nate, have you talked to anyone since Hales died? Come on you can talk to me about this." All of a sudden Nathan started to cry and Brooke felt like this was the first time since her best friend died. She reached out to hug him and he fell into her arms sobbing. Then she too started crying and felt that finally she had some one to share the pain with; someone who understood what she had going through for the past two months and she was with him and she knew he needed her too.
