Later that night as Haley layed in bed as she went over the days events in her head. Brooke in typical form rambled on about how it was unhealthy for Haley to be in the house and in bed on a Friday night and did this with relative ease as she got ready for her date with Lucas. "Hello Tutor Girl are you getting any of this?" Brooke asked realizing that Haley was ignoring her. Snapping her fingers Brooke finally grabbed the pajama clad beauty's attention "What!" Haley shouted exasperated before immediately demuring.

"Sorry Brooke not everyone has the social life that you do" Haley said her eyes downcast. "I understand that T.G. but it's not like you have no one at all so I hate to see you acting like it" Brooke explained sincerely. "Brooke I'm fine just a little tired and with all that's going on between Nathan and I I'm just not in the mood ya know?" Brooke nodded in response "Thanx for worrying though" Haley added with a sweet smile.

Suddenly the bell rang flustering Brooke who abandoned getting ready sometime during their conversation. "Oh crap he's here" Brooke said referring to Lucas. "Quick! help me with my dress" Brooke stood in front of Haley's bed back turned so that she could be zipped into the rose colored slip dress that she designed. After which she rushed out of the room to open the front door for a waiting Lucas.

Falling back to the bed Haley shifted herself into a comfortable positon as she prepared to sleep. The sound of Brooke relentlessly flirting with Lucas echoed through the door of the bedroom. It caused an unsettling feeling in Haley that she couldn't understand and made it had for her to sleep though eventually she did.

Around 1am Haley awoke to the sound of whispered giggling as Lucas entered the room. He was unsuccessfully trying to move Brooke's mattress into the living room quietly. Haley tried not laugh when he hit his foot on the edge of her bed letting loose a ton of expletives. Finally she sat up acting as if she'd just woken "Luke just what do you think you're doing" she asked as natural as she could. Switching on the bedroom light Lucas replied "Trying not to wake you but you see how well that went" he said with a smirk pulling the rest of the mattress through the door.

Haley fell back to the bed as Brooke came in "Aww you waited up you shouldn't have" she said grabbing a comforter from the closet and leaving. "yeah totally" Haley said sarcastically as she covering her face with her sheet .When Brooke came back she headed straight to the bathroom presumably to get changed for bed.
Lucas came in soon after throwing his body on the bed next to Haley pulling the sheet from her face.

"What's up with you Hales?" he half whispered with his face was so close Haley could feel the heat radiating off of it. She knew it was nothing other than him trying to keep their conversation private that brought him so near but that didn't stop the butterflies that formed in her stomach. "hmm uh nothing much Chris and I are working well " she stammered before realizing how her words could be misconstrued. "I mean with our music we're working well again" she rephrased nervously.

"See this is what I mean Hales why are you so jumpy lately?" Lucas asked running a hand over her forehead as if to calm her. Haley layed speechless not realizing that she'd been so transparent. Finally pulling her self together Haley managed " I've got a lot of things on my mind but I'm fine". It was the first thing that came to mind and the most honest. Changing the subject Haley began "My question for you my friend is what's going on with you and Brooke? She hasn't seen another guy in weeks!" Haley confided. Lucas responded with a knowing smile as Brooke appeared in the doorway.

"Look Boyfriend I didn't bring you here so that you could hop into bed with another girl. Is this Dawson's Creek Do I look like Jen to you? "Brooke said with a mock glare. "But it's not a girl it's Haley!" Lucas shot back. Haley sat up quickly mouth agape acting as if insulted before pushing Lucas abruptly to the floor. As Brooke walked by looking down she playfully kicked him with her foot for good measure. "Is it safe to say I'll be seeing you in the morning?" Haley asked him without looking over the side of her bed "yes"
Lucas answered " ok then. Goodnight Luke see you in the morning" "uhgghh he grunted."
