Brooke sat on the sand and saw the waves tumble upon each other. She absentmindedly wrote Lucas' name on the sand with her finger. Then she'd erase it and write it again. When she saw what she was doing, she looked down at the name in disgust.

She crossed the name out, and then patted the sand to destroy the name.

"Brooke?"

Brooke didn't turn around, "Hey,"

"I heard what happened between you and Lucas," he whispered sympathetically.

Brooke laughed bitterly, "Everyone in tree hill probably found out what a dumbass I was –again."

"Brooke no-…"

"How could he Nathan? And with my best friend too! How could Peyton, how could she do that again after she knew how hard it was for me to trust again."

"Honestly? I don't know. BUT, you guys were fighting, and well, Peyton was grieving about her mom,"

"Nathan that's bull, yes we did have a fight, but that doesn't justify what he did, and true, Peyton was sad about her mom, but seriously Nathan, does that really mean she can go sleep with her best friends boyfriend?"

Nathan looked down at Brooke's finger that was still writing Lucas' name in the sand. Brooke followed his gaze and saw what he was looking at, and quickly pulled her hand back and joined it with her other hand that was in her lap.

"No Brooke, your right, nothing could justify their actions, now do you know the way I felt about what Haley did?"

"No Nathan its different-…"

"No it isn't,"

Brooke nodded slowly and looked back at the waves as Nathan took a place beside her. They sat there for a while in a comfortable silence looking out at the water, until Brooke slowly lowered her head onto Nathan's shoulder.

He looked down at her, her eyes were closed and he could see her forehead wrinkled in frustration. For the first time Nathan saw the real Brooke. Not the girl that wore the best clothes, and could be a big bitch. Or the one that got the most drunk at parties, and wasn't embarrassed by the fact that she slept with a big population of guys. He saw the one that wrote in her diary every night, and always had dreamed of prince charming, and the one that put so much love in a guy for the first time and was hurt, but tried again the second time only to be hurt –again.

Nathan put an arm around her in comfort. They had never really been friends, just two people who knew the same group of friends.

This was the first time they had actually talked, and like seriously talked.

They sat there for who knows how long, trying to comfort their broken hearts.
