CHAPTER 2

After Brooke had left Nathan's house guilt washed over her. She had promised Haley that she would look after Nathan, not sleep with him. But she had to admit that she has had an empty feeling since she left his house. Nathan made her feel…different. But he shouldn't make her feel any differently, she shouldn't feel this way for him, Haley didn't deserve it.

Brooke was now entering her house; she went up the stairs and into her room. She sat on her bed to think about what she was going to do. Haley and Lucas were going to come back on Monday and it was currently Thursday, so that meant she had a couple of days to figure it out.

She figured she already made it clear to Nathan that nothing was going to happen between them, so she didn't think that she had to have any conversations with him in the near future.

So that was it, she and Nathan would forget anything ever happened, Haley would come back, Naley would be reunited, and they will go back to being the sickening sweet couple that they've always been.

Yeah…that's what's going to happen, Brooke thought surely.

Little did she know…that was far from reality, and I mean far, as far as far could get.

(A month later)

Nathan, Haley, Brooke, and Lucas were all walking down to the river court to hang out.

Nathan was walking between Brooke and Haley, feeling extremely uncomfortable, while Lucas was walking beside Brooke.

Nathan and Brooke became very uneasy around each other since what happened, and Haley and Lucas have begun to notice the tension between them.

Haley has even tried to talk to Brooke about it.

(Flashback)

Haley and Brooke were hanging out a few days after Haley had come back.

They were at Brooke's house, sitting on the couch watching a movie.

Brooke wasn't really paying attention to it, since she was in deep thought about a certain raven haired boy.

Haley noticed Brooke's spaced out look and paused the movie, even then Brooke didn't even blink, it was like she was just staring at the still figures on the screen.

"Brooke!" Haley snapped Brooke out of her reverie.

"Uh…what?" Brooke said after she blinked twice.

"What's been up with you lately?" Haley asked with concern.

"Nothing…everything's fine," Brooke said trying to convince her friend.

"Are you sure because Nathan has been like this too," Haley said

"He has?" Brooke said with a smile

"Yeah, he has…are you sure you're okay? Did something happen with between you and Nathan?" Haley asked

"What? Of course not, w-why would you say such a thing?" Brooke said fearing that Haley had found out what had happened.

"Well you and Nathan are acting the same, so I thought maybe you two got in a fight while I was away," Haley clarified, but eyed Brooke carefully

Brooke let out a sigh of relief.

"I'm fine Haley…I promise," Brooke said

"Are you positive?" Haley asked

"Absolutely, and about Nathan, he's probably spaced out thinking about basketball, so stop worrying so much," Brooke said with a smile

"Okay," Haley said completely unconvinced, but decided to let it go.

"Now let's finish watching this damn movie," Haley said as she pressed play.

(End of flashback)

Haley has come to the conclusion that something big happened over the weekend that she and Lucas were away, but she couldn't figure out what it was.

Lucas however, was a different story, because he also had a little confrontation, but he had a slightly different outcome.

(Flashback)

Lucas and Nathan were playing at the river court when all of sudden Nathan spaced out.

So to get him out of his day dream, Lucas threw the basketball at him, but it didn't work so in consequence, Nathan got hit on the forehead.

"Ow! What the hell, Lucas!" Nathan said as he rubbed his forehead.

"It's not my fault you weren't paying attention," Lucas shrugged.

"Whatever," Nathan as he looked out to the street and saw Brooke's car pass, and he instantly froze.

Lucas saw this, and wondered why Nathan got such a reaction.

"What's going on with you and Brooke?" Lucas decided to just come out and ask.

"What are you talking about?" Nathan asked nervously.

"Oh cut the bull, I've seen the way you and Brooke have been acting since me Haley came back, and I want to know what's going on!" Lucas said slightly angry at the fact that Nathan felt he couldn't tell him.

Nathan sighed.

"We slept together," Nathan revealed.

"What'd you say? Please tell me I didn't just hear you say you slept together," Lucas pleaded.

"We were drunk!" Nathan defended.

"Oh yeah, cause that just makes it all better. God! You're such an idiot!" Lucas yelled.

"Don't lecture me Luke," Nathan pleaded

Lucas sighed.

"Fine, but let me ask you something….do you love her?" Lucas asked quietly.

"Yeah Luke I think I do," Nathan said, surprising even himself.

"Then tell Haley, don't lead her on, she deserves better than that, and for Brooke, don't try anything until everything is over between you and Haley," Lucas said seriously

"I know Luke...I know," Nathan said nodding his head

"So what are you going to do?" Lucas asked curiously

"Honestly…I have no idea," Nathan said

(End of flashback)

They have all arrived, and Nathan and Lucas went to play a game, while Haley and Brooke went to the sit at the table.

Nathan looked over and saw them laughing together.

Lucas came over to him, and followed his gaze. When he realized what he was looking at, he sighed.

"You know that if you do anything with Brooke that you will ruin their friendship right?" Lucas asked

"I know damn it….I know," Nathan whispered as he watched Brooke and just then she looked up and locked eyes with him.

They had a fierce moment.

Nathan knew what he was going to do.

He just hoped it was the right thing.

Or else he was screwed.

So there's chapter 2, I hope you enjoyed it, oh! And I'm thinking about changing the title, so if you could help me out with that, I'd be very thankful!
