Also im talking to brucasfanatic um who is baley? I didn't understand ur review..I'm sorry.


Lucas sat on the couch next to Brooke thinking about the bad news he received . While Haley and Brooke kept up the conversations between the four.

Nathan sat silent too while he thought about who he really wanted to be with. Was his soal mate Haley? After all she has been the one from the start, his first real true love. Or was it the girl he just recently got to know? Brooke and him really became friends over the last few months, they really clicked! Could she be the one for him? Nathan looked back at Haley then at Lucas. Lucas had a hurt expression on his face like he just got the worst news in the world. Nathan wondered what in the Hell was up with him lately, he had really changed since last year. Nathan hid it but he still cared about Lucas to some extent.

"So Lucas is that a good plan?" asked Brooke.

"Um..what?"he stuttered. "Sorry I didn't hear what you asked."

"That we all go to a huge amusement park for my birthday in six months," she answered.

Lucas thought to himself. Six months, was he even going to make it that long? Was he going to be able to share the moment with Brooke? "Yeah," he said in a disappointed tone. "Count me in."

Haley gave Lucas a concerned look. She knew what was troubling his mind.

"I gotta go, I'm sorry," he apologized . "Do you want to go somewhere with me tonight Brooke? Just you and me along the docks ? I'll pick you up at eight" He stood up and looked at her for an answer before he left.

"Of course," she added. "Where are you going?"

"I just got to take care of a few things, it's nothing," he answered before shutting the front door behind him.

Lucas stood on the outside of the door and let out a huge sigh. He hoped in his car and drove off toward the rivercoart where he could be alone.

Back inside the house Haley was saying goodbye to Nathan and Brooke because she needed to go to tutoring. At least that's what she told them.

"Goodbye Nate," she said sweetly. She kissed him goodbye and left as well.

Brooke and Nathan were left alone once again. Nathan gave Brooke a guilty look, had they done the right thing?

"We shouldn't have done that Nathan," blurted out Brooke. "We made a huge mistake."

Nathan thought back again from when Haley left him for Chris. He thought about how Lucas hurt Brooke for Peyton. "They did it to us."

"So what we do it out of revenge?" she asked. "I care to much about both of them to purposely hurt them!"

"I didn't say that," he added. "I'm just saying we shouldn't have to feel guilty. "

Brooke hesitated for a moment... "I love Lucas though."

"I love Haley too," assured Nathan.

"Ok, " she added. "What now?"

"Well they left so let's leave too," he insisted. "We can have some fun as friends."

Brooke grabbed her coat and looked at Nathan. "What did you have in mind?" She felt a knot in the pit of her stomach, Lucas will be real hurt when he finds out she made out with Nathan. She decided not to tell him so she can spare him the pain.

"I'm thinking the bar," said Nathan. "You in?"

"Yeah," she said reluctantly. "Just as friends though."

"Yeah," he insisted.

Meanwhile Lucas sat on the edge of the river court knelt against a tree, watching the river flow. It was quiet so he could think. Think about what he was going to do. Was he going to chance the surgery or just live every moment like it was his last?

Haley walked up behind Lucas to see if he was ok. "Hey buddy," she whispered to him softly as she took a seat next to him.

"How did you know I was here?" he asked.

"Because I know you," she whispered .

"You know you could have stayed with Nathan and Brooke right?" he asked. "You don't need to stay with me!"

"I know but I want to," she insisted. "Anyways I told them I was tutoring."

A small smile spread across Luke's face.

"You know I love you Lucas," she whispered.

"I know," he added. "I love you too." He looked at her with a sad look. "You don't have to worry about me."

"Yeah but I do anyways," she insisted. "I don't want to lose you Lucas."

He didn't say anything to his friend he just looked back at the water. She wouldn't let him shield her out though, she grabbed him in a hug. He grabbed her back and rested his head on her shoulder. They stayed that way for a while. They both didn't talk but her being there was enough for Lucas. "Will you stay with me for a while," he asked.

"You couldn't make me leave," she joked. "I'm stuck with you." Haley hugged him tighter and eventually they both fell asleep on the grass.

Meanwhile Nathan just opened the bar door for Brooke. Loud music blared from inside.

"Ok, we got till 7 then I have to meet Lucas ok," she asked.

"I think 3 hours is enough time to get some fun in," he concluded. "Grab a pool stick, I'll beat you this time!"

"Dream on," yelled Brooke. She ordered two beers for the both of them and grabbed a pool stick. "I go first." She shot at the yellow ball in front of her and it rolled straight into the left pocket. She gave Nathan a devious smile and aimed for another one. It went strait in. "What were you saying. That your going to beat me?" She laughed and shot another time, once again she succeeded in shooting it in.

Nathan grabbed his drink and took a sip. "This is going to be a long game," he joked.

Brooke smiled and guzzled down her drink in one sip. "Ha yet another thing I beat you at!"

Nathan guzzled down his drink."Shut up," he joked. He grabbed a pool stick and aimed at the ball in front of him. He shot but missed. "Well there goes my pride" He smiled and rolled his eyes at Brooke.
