Howdy! Remember me? Soo… I found this and realized that it had never been posted. It was supposed to be chapter 2, but I guess I never finished it. I figured I would put it up now so everyone can get a little update. Hopefully it'll give me some inspiration. =]

"Where's Lucas?" Peyton's asked when she came back, punch in hands. Haley was deciding on whether or not she should mention Brooke. "He told me to tell you he would be right back."

"Oh, okay, then. Did he say where he was going?" Haley subtly shook her head. "Uh, no." She almost whispered. Haley felt guilty for lying to one of her best friends. "Hmm, okay. Well I'm

going to head to the bathroom real quick." As Peyton left, Nathan was arriving at the table. "Haley, what's wrong?" He recognized Haley's look anytime she felt guilty. "I lied to Peyton."

"And why did Haley James Scott lie to Peyton?"

"Well, when Peyton was gone, Lucas received a text from Brooke. And it seemed urgent because he told me to tell Peyton he would be right back, and then he rushed off." Nathan rubbed

Haley's leg. "So, you didn't tell Peyton the Brooke part?" Haley nodded her head and laid it on Nathan's shoulder.


Lucas pulled up to Brooke's house. Everything seemed normal from the outside. He was starting to wonder if Brook was pulling something. Lucas hopped out of his car and climbed up the

stairs onto the porch. There, he knocked lightly on the door, and then tried the handle, but it was locked. He went around to the back door, knowing that Brooke kept it unlocked most of

the time. Even if it was locked, he knew where the key was. When he got to the back, he noticed it looked like it had been broken into. Lucas reached for the handle and slowly opened

the door. He seen Brooke's cell phone on the kitchen table and wondered what it was doing there, if she had just texted him for help. He tiptoed quietly upstairs searching for Brooke in

her bedroom. When he had no luck, he came back down stairs. "Brooke?" he said quietly.
