Nathan and Haley never married. They broke up after season 1 because of Nathan's obsession for sex.
I don't own One Tree Hill or the characters.

Chapter 1: Forever not yours

Brooke and Haley were on their way to Peyton's. They wanted to make sure she was ok after being shot at the school. Brooke was worrying sick about her best friend she has been through so much pain. This wasn't supposed to happen to her. She thought. Haley turned her head to look at the beautiful brunette beside her and wondered why she was so silent.

"Brooke, are you okay?" she asked with concern.

"Yea I am actually. I was just wondering Peyton."

"Come on don't do it we are going to see her in 5 minutes. Stop thinking about it would ya?"

"How can I Haley? It was my fault I shouldn't have let her in there. She didn't deserve this. And where was I as her best friend huh? Running for my own ass, not even thinking about her." she said guilt was build in her face.

"Stop it. It wasn't your fault. You thought she was behind you. Just give yourself a break and I am sure that Peyton is okay. She is a strong girl you know."

"Yes I know that but I just can't stop the feeling." she said pouting.

"Don't ya give that sweet pout of yours. Now come on we are almost there." Haley said while smiling sweetly at Brooke. She returned the gesture and linked their arms as they reached the front door. Haley opened the door, as always it was unlocked. Haley grabbed Brooke's hand and gave it a reassuring squeeze. They started to take the stairs one by one not knowing what was about to come. Music was blaring from Peyton's room and the door was closed. A smile formed in both girls' faces, thinking that for now everything was the same. Haley reached to the doorknob with her other hand and opened it, slowly and quietly. As soon as the door was opened the smiles disappeared. Brooke let go of Haley's hand. Brooke thought she was hallucinating.

"Haley… Could you please pinch me?" she whispered closing her eyes.

"Whatsoever place of yours do you want me to pinch?" asked Haley obviously not aware of what she just asked to Brooke. Suddenly Brooke opened her eyes. She was looking straight at the view in front of them angrily. She looked like she was about to explode.

"YOU BITCH! HOW COULD YOU DO THIS TO ME AGAIN? OH HOW STUPID WAS I WORRYING ABOUT YOU! YOU BACKSTABBING WHORE. YOU DESERVED TO DIE IN THAT SCHOOL. AND YOU LUCAS I DON'T HAVE ANYTHING TO SAY TO YOU JUST GO TO HELL!" both Lucas and Peyton jumped apart with shock. They didn't even realize that someone was standing there. Finally comprehending the situation they both covered themselves.

"Brooke lets go" Haley said giving both Lucas and Peyton a death glare.

"Oh no, I'm not going anywhere. I want to hear their stupid excuses. And you don't even dare to tell me that "it just happened Brooke, I don't know what got into me, it was a mistake, I am the one for you" blah blah blah. CRAP! TALK before I punch one of you."

"Talk or die eh?" Peyton finally spoke. There was something different in her voice this time. There was no mark of guilt or sadness. She looked straight into Brooke's eyes with no regrets. "There is no explanation Brooke we did it! FINALLY! We can't deny the attraction between us anymore." This little speech of Peyton shocked both girls more then the previous view. Lucas was just looking down with red cheeks.

"How could you tell this Peyton? She is your best friend for god's sake. What is wrong with you?" Haley asked not actually wanting to hear her respond but the question had to be asked.

"She quit being my best friend a long time ago Haley. And nothings wrong with me. For the first time I'm selfish. I don't regret any second of this. I love Lucas and I always did." tears were forming in Brooke's eyes. As soon as Haley noticed Brooke was about to breakdown she grabbed her hand again and let their way out.
