Authors Note: Thank you so much for the reviews I love them. So Brooke has a secret how exciting! I love secrets :D! But don't worry the secret will be out soon!

"Where are we Nathan?" Haley asked curiously, looking around the parking lot

"Well..." He started cautiously

"Oh My God you brought me to some sleazy Hotel!" She screamed shoving him against the car "That's disgusting, were married. Even when we weren't I wouldn't sneak around to places like this with you. Im so angry."

"Calm down, that's not why were here." He defended holding his hands up

"Then why are we here?" She questioned suspiciously

"I don't know if your going to like it." He bit the side of his lip nervously

"What is it?"

"Were here to see Brooke."

"What! I don't want to see her Nathan. She shouldn't even be here."

"What the hell Haley. Yesterday before Peyton got here, you were so excited, so hopeful that Brooke would show up. Guess what, she did. And now all of a sudden your acting like you want nothing to do with her. Why? I don't understand."

"You want to know why, because Peyton made a good point. And then when she came back I realized how angry I was with her for leaving, how angry I was that she contacted you but not me. I just don't understand" She cried, letting Nathan pull her into a hug

"That's why you need to talk to her. Let her explain, tell her how you feel. But don't shut her out. She used to be one of your closest friends, don't let her slip away again." He pulled away, giving her a reassuring smile.

"Okay" Haley whispered giving in. "I'll talk to her. But im not promising anything."

"That's fine. I don't expect you to." He took her hand in his, placing a small kiss on the top of it. "Ready" She nodded, letting Nathan lead her towards Brooke's room. "This is it. Room 03. Are you ready." She nodded once again, closing her eyes as Nathan rapped his knuckles against the door.

"Who is it" They heard a familiar raspy voice yell from the other side

"Its Nathan...and Haley" Nathan yelled back. Giving Brooke a small smile as the door opened

"Hi" Brooke smiled widely, staring at Haley

"Hello Brooke" She paused, looking over Brooke's appearance "Do you always answer the door in your underwear."

"Oh, sorry I didn't realize." Brooke apologized, looking down at herself. Realizing she was only in her bra and underwear. "I only have a few outfits and their in the wash, had a little suitcase trouble when I first got here so... But I'll cover up with a blanket" She concluded noticing Haley's disapproving face.

"That's fine right Hales" Haley nodded, entering the room

"Im surprised your staying at this Motel Brooke. Its kind of, ick" Haley said surprised at the shape of the room.

"Im a little short on cash so. Its not that bad I mean it has a bed and a bathroom. That's all I need." Brooke looked down embarrassed

"Im sorry Brooke, I didn't mean it badly. It's just. I guess you've just changed your standards a little. Don't be embarrassed, were on a budget to." Haley gestured between Nathan and herself

"Its fine. Don't worry about it." Brooke dismissed

"Why didn't you ever come back." Haley questioned searching Brooke's eyes with her own

"I just couldn't. It wasn't you, it wasn't Nathan, it wasn't really anybody. I just had to go and not look back. I promised myself I wouldn't come back until I got my life straightened out."

"I guess I understand that, but you could have kept in touch. You don't have to come home to write a letter or pick up the phone."

"The first year I picked up the phone to call you so many times to call. But I would just think about how hard it would be to talk to any of you, I just thought if I cut ties off completely it would be easier." She sighed "It sounds kind of stupid saying it out loud. You probably don't understand." Tears were forming in her eyes, as she changed her focus from Haley to Nathan. Not wanting to see the hurt in her eyes anymore.

"I think I understand what you were thinking. I think it was stupid, but I understand." Haley smiled "I just missed you so much, and I was so confused. Why my friend, the girl who was my made of honor. Just fell off the face of the earth."

"Im so sorry. I missed you to" Brooke cried running over to Haley Trying to wrap her in a hug from the chair.

"Aw how cute" Nathan chuckled

"Brooke" Haley wheezed "Your boobs are suffocating me"

"That's Hot" Nathan muttered

"Im so sorry" Brooke apologized pulling back, laughing lightly at Haley's flushed face.

"It's okay. Really im fine now, just needed to Breathe" She reassured her

"So are we somewhat okay." Haley shook her head causing Brooke to frown

"Were A Okay" Haley smiled as Brooke's eye's lit up

"Really?" Haley nodded "Im so glad Nathan brought you here." Brooke smiled hugging Nathan

"What makes you think Nathan brought me here?" Brooke raised her eyebrow "Okay Nathan brought me here but I didn't fight him on it."

"Do you guys want to eat dinner with me. I mean we'd have to order in, can't really go out like this" Brooke motioned down to her body " I mean I could but, probably shouldn't wouldn't want to get arrested for being indecent again now would I." They laughed

"You've been arrested?" Haley questioned, somewhat un-surprised

"Oh yeah"

"How many secrets do you have Brooke" Haley laughed, pulling out her cell phone to order pizza

"You have no idea" she smirked

"So what are you plans for tomorrow?" Nathan questioned quietly, so that Haley could here the guy on the phone.

"Im not sure. I'd like to see a few people, like I said before I can't stay in town for a super long time so."

"Well you could hang with Haley and I catch up. I know she would like that. Then maybe we can talk to Peyton or Lucas, see if we can mend fences with them to."

"Thanks Nate. You're the best. Like the brother I never had."

"Well your like the sister I never wanted" He laughed as Brooke stuck her tongue out at him.

"Pizza on it's way."
