This chapter is mostly about Haley and Brooke and their relationship towards each other. Also the Nathan/Haley marriage is explained and analysed. This chapter is pretty sad, but still i am very pleased with the way my characters have turned out. I hope you enjoy.

Brooke didn't have to open her eyes to know that Dean was gone. She could feel the cold beside her, the emptiness he had left behind. Still her hand moved over to the other side of the bed, like sensing it wasn't enough, she had to feel it as well. She felt numb, she wasn't even able to cry. How can he do this to me, she thought.

She hugged her legs and closed her eyes, Dean Winchester, the one boy that meant everything to her had left her the second time in less than a week, this was more than she could endure.

"I will never forgive you." she whispered.

Haley called Brooke for the fifth time today, but her calls were neither answered nor returned. She worried about her friend, but she has had so much on her mind with graduation and collage coming up, that she didn't even realize that it had been more than a week since she had talked to Brooke.

"Have you seen Brooke lately?" she asked her husband Nathan, who was working on his laptop.

Nathan didn't even look up, he just shook his head and continued whatever he was doing. Haley snuffled, their marriage hadn't really been easy since Haley had come back from tour. They had loved each other once, but the spark that had always been there had disappeared over the years.

"I'll go over to her house and check up on her."

She got up and left the apartment, she decided to walk the 15 minutes to Brooke's house.

When she reached Brooke's place, she knocked twice, but no one opened, she tried the door knob but it was locked. Haley turned around, stepped down and walked around the massive white house, when she reached Brooke's bedroom window she realized that the blends were shut. She wasn't sure if Brooke was in there, but she started banging against the glass anyway.

Brooke sat up and looked over to her window. Her heartbeat quickened, maybe Dean had finally come back. She got up, tumbled over empty pizza cartons, kicked away a half full bottle of wine, until she finally reached the closed window. She took a deep breath before pulling the blinds up, as soon as she faced Haley her expression changed, she knew that the blond girl would be able to see her disappointment, but she didn't mind, she opened the window and looked at her friend.

Haley didn't say anything, she just stared at Brooke, mouth slightly open, her eyes widened, she looked so worried that Brooke's cheeks turned red in embarrassment. She pushed her hair back, and tried to pull her shirt down, which didn't even cover her undies. She knew that she must look terrible, after Dean left she felt so bad that she didn't want to get up, almost a week had passed and she was still lying in her big empty bed. She had ordered in, eaten in bed and watched TV all day. She had showered once, but she was still wearing Dean's chemise over her tank top.

"Brooke, what…. How….. Did something happen?" Haley asked, her eyes scanned Brooke's messy bedroom.

"No, I'm fine." Brooke lied, she knew that Haley wouldn't believe her, but she didn't want to talk about it. Her heart still ached and her body felt extremely tired, even though she didn't do anything but sleep. The light stung her eyes and Haley's worries annoyed her.

"Can you please leave me alone." she asked, then tried to close the window, but Haley reached forward and stopped her.

"Excuse me, are kicking me out? Brooke what happened? I know that something is wrong."

"Haley, please." the smoky voice pleaded and Brooke struggled to hold her tears back.

Haley saw the pain in Brooke's eyes and climbed into the room, she pulled her friend close and held her tight. Brooke started sobbing like a child, her whole body was shaking and Haley rubbed her back.

"Its going to be ok. I am here for you. Its ok." she hushed.

It took Brooke quit a while to calm down, and when she finally did, she followed Haley into the kitchen and watched her, as Haley got her a glass of milk and some leftovers out of the fridge. Brooke started eating and Haley observed her every move.

"So, do you want to tell me what happened?" Haley questioned.

Brooke looked into her eyes and started speaking. First Haley couldn't follow, but after a while she caught up to the story. When Brooke finished Haley lay one hand upon hers, she tried to comfort her but she knew that Brooke's heart was shattered into pieces.

"Maybe something happened." Haley suggested, not really believing it herself.

"Maybe." Haley could barely make out Brooke's beautiful voice, barely a sound left her full lips.

The two girls spend the rest of the day together, Haley was glad to get away from Nathan and Brooke was glad that she had a shoulder to cry on. They comforted each other, ordered Chinese and had some wine. At night Haley lay next to Brooke and looked at the ceiling, a thought crossed her mind, but she didn't know if she wanted to share it with Brooke. Maybe Dean wasn't the right guy for her, maybe it was better if he stayed gone.

"Haley, what are you thinking about?" Brooke looked over and noticed how Haley pressed her lips together: "Come on, tell me."

"Maybe it's better this way. Maybe Dean isn't the right guy for you, maybe you guys just aren't meant to be."

Brooke rolled over and faced Haley.

"Why would you say that?"

"Sometimes Dean scares me." she whispered.

Haley didn't know anything about Dean and Sam. She didn't know what they did, Brooke had never told her.

"He means everything to me. He's smart and funny, childish and serious, loving and horny. He's a sex god." Brooke giggled: "and he knows my every weakness and strength."

Haley nodded: " That's exactly how I felt about Nathan once."

"What happened to you guys?"

"I don't know, we just fell apart somehow,"

Brooke patted her shoulder, she could hear Haley cry in the dark.

" I miss him." she sat up and wiped away her tears: "Brooke, I have to tell you something. I …. I …. I am pregnant."

Brooke shot up and glanced at Haley.

"You are pregnant? Are you sure? Hales we are in High School, graduation is coming up…you… we.. I don't know what to say"

Haley knew that Brooke was right, this ruined everything, she had planed out her whole life and now everything was destroyed.

"I don't want this baby." Just as the words left her mouth she wished they didn't. She wasn't the girl that got pregnant in High School, she wanted a currier, a future, maybe record another album. She didn't believe in abortion, she believed it meant killing a human being, but what else could she do? Her marriage was over, the father of her child may or may not be in love with her and she didn't even have money to support a baby. She knew that Brooke shared her believes regarding abortion, but she also knew that Brooke would respect her decision.

"You want to …. You… but Haley." Brooke stuttered, Brooke believed: if anyone could do this then Haley. She could take care of a child, fix her marriage and go to college, she could do all that.

"I know what you must think of me, but I might lose my husband, what about his dream? What about basketball, what about the NBA ?"

"And what about your dreams? Haley if you want to have this baby I will stand by you, I will help you. You are not alone"

Haley closed her eyes, she knew that Brooke meant every word she said. She didn't reply for a pretty long time and Brooke was sure that Haley had fallen asleep.

"I feel safe here, maybe you can too." Brooke said, as her eyes wandered around the room she had called her own since she was a little girl. This was her bubble, her safe place and she was willing to share it with Haley, who needed it so much more than her.

I would like to add that Haley/Brooke's opinion about abortion has nothing to do with my believes or ideals. I just thought that this represented their characters. I hope i didnt offend anyone with this topic. Please Feedback :D
