Rachel and Brooke arrived back at the apartment, Haley stood in the kicthen in her pyjamasl looking very hung over.
'Haley, still feeling like crap?, Rachel laughed walking into her bedroom. Haley sipped her coffee and held her aching head, 'You know If I wasn't
In agonising pain I'd slap you'. She replied slumming on the sofa. Rachel closed her bedroom door as Brooke took off her jacket and sat next to Haley.
'Hales, he's back'. Haley looked at her, 'Luke?'. Brooke nodded smiling, 'He looks amazing'.Haley smiled, 'oh my god, did you talk to him?'.
'Yeah kinda, he sits next to me In english Lit. I had this dream, that felt so real'. Haley put her cup on the coffee table, 'Usually they do Bro...', stopping in
mid-sentence and turned to face her. 'what kind of dream?'. Brooke raised her eyebrows and smiled cheekily. 'Oh... , Haley replied shaking off the Image.
Rachel came out of her room smiling, 'So Haley, you should've seen the hot new guy In class'. Haley looked at Brooke, 'Oh, what was his name?'.
'Uh... didn't catch it.'. She smiled and walked towards the door. 'Anway I'm going on a date with Jake jagarsken'. Haley sat up, 'It's Jagelski'.
'Well whatever, Jagelski then'. Brooke laughed. 'Cya Rach'. Haley shook her head, 'Honestly, she's been dating the guy for 2 months and she can't even
remember his last name'. Brooke shrugged her shoulders, 'Well It Is Rachel'. They both laughed, 'Yeah good point'.
'Anyway Lucas came back to Tree Hill, what does this mean for you guys?'. Brooke looked undecided, 'Nothing, we were already over before he left. Besides I'm not....'.
'Yes you are Brooke', she immidiately interrupted. 'I am what?'. she replied. 'You're still totally In love with him'. She collapsed back into the couch.
'you totally changed when he left town. You've barely even looked at another guy since'. Brooke pulled a strand of hair from her face, 'Well I guess I could talk to him'.
'That's better', Haley said smiling at her. 'you really liked us together didn't you?'. She looked at her, 'putting aside the fact that you two we're barely ever fully clothed
when I saw you. He did make you happy'. brooke laughed. 'Yeah he did'. Brooke picked up a magazine, 'so when's Dad coming over?'. Haley sighed. 'Next friday, he's in italy
With emily... gross'. Brooke laughed. 'I never expected dad to get a girlfriend after the divorce, I kinda thought It would be mom'. They laughed, 'Yeah plus she's like 2 years older than me'.
Haley blasted.
The next day Brooke and Haley walked into class and bumped into Lucas, 'Oh sorry' , he aplogised. 'Haley', he smiled giving her a hug.
'Hey Luke,.wow you look great'. 'Thanks', he looked at Brooke. 'Hey'. She smiled. 'Hi'. He walked over to his seat and Haley looked at Brooke smiling.
Brooke slid next to him, 'So when did you get back in town?'. He tapped his pencil on the desk. 'Monday, my mom wanted me to go to college here'. She nodded,
'Yeah I know, we planned on coming here together'. He looked at her. 'Yeah.... '..' Good morning Class', the teacher yelled as he walked in'.
Brooke and Lucas still looking at eachother. 'I missed you Lucas scott'. He smiled, 'I missed you too pretty girl'. Haley sat behind Brooke and smiled at them.
After class Brooke looked over at Lucas, 'you got any weekend plans Luke?'. Lucas rubbed his arm, 'Yeah, I'm going to Nathan's baby shower'. She smiled. 'Nathan had a baby?'.
Haley covered her mouth in shock. 'Yeah, he and Peyton have a little girl'. Brooke turned to face Haley who was looking very upset. Lucas realised, 'I'm sorry Haley, If it's any
concelation, they're getting divorced'. Haley grabbed her books and stood up. 'I didn't even know he got married'. She walked off angry and upset.
Brooke looked at him, 'Do you think I could go?'. He smiled, 'Well yeah , I mean we could drive up to L.A together on friday. He'd love to see you'. She nodded. 'Great'.
'Okay, so here's my new number. Call me when you're gonna pick me up', she smiled writing on his hand. 'Alright', he smiled as she walked away.
Brooke, Haley and Rachel sat In the living room watching, 'The sweetest thing'. Haley sat eating rocky road ice-cream with tissues. She cried, 'Guys are such Jerks, Cameron Diaz,
totally loves this guy. she travalled all the way to sunset for christ sakes. And he just gets married without telling her'. She fed herself a mouthful of ice-cream. 'I'm just so sad'.
Rachel and Brooke hugged her as she cried. Brooke's phone rang, 'Hello?'. she smiled as she heard Lucas' voice. 'Hey Brooke, you all packed?'. She smiled, 'Yeah'.
'Great, I'll pick you up in 10'. 'Okay', she hung up. 'who was that?', Haley asked. 'That was Lucas, I'm going to Nathan's baby show.....' she stopped when she saw Haley get
even more upset. 'You're actually gonna go?, tell Nathan I said thanks for getting married to the girl you dumped me for'. Brooke stood up. 'Yeah, okay Hales'.
Rachel looked at Haley, 'That's what you're upset about?, I thought It was the movie'. 'You really are a blond under that red-hair aren't you?'. Brooke laughed as Haley looked at her.
'Hey, I am blond you know'. [Beep beep], Brooke grabbed her bags from the bedroom. 'Alright, I'll see you guys monday'.
Brooke samiled and got into his car, 'Wow, convertible Nice.'. He looked at her, 'Yeah, Lindsay's dad boguht it for me'. he started the car.
She nodded, 'oh who's Lindsay?', he stalled for a second and jumped as the car infront of him honked. 'Oh crap', he shouted driving away.
'So, Brooke how have you been?'. he said moments later. 'I've been... okay, How about you?'. keeping his eye on the road. 'Well, I've been avoiding coming back here for a while.
I know I left suddenly and I didn't get a chance to say goodbye'. She nodded, 'Yeah well, we weren't on the best of terms when you decided to go. I don't know maybe that was the reason
you left'. He shook his head. 'I just needed time, then It kinda became comfortable. But you know, home is home. Nothing can replace it'. She smiled. 'Yeah'.
When they arrived at Nathan's House they got out of the car, 'Jesus, how does nathan afford a plce like this?'. Lucas laughed opening his car door. 'He's in the NBA Brooke,
It pays a lot'. She laughed. 'Yeah, I guess It does'. They knocked on and Nathan answered the door holding a baby. 'Hey'. He shouted happily as he saw Brooke.
'Hey Nathan', she said as he invited them in. Peyton sat in the kicthen reading a magazine when they walked in, 'Hi Lucas' , she said before looking back at the magazine.
Brooke walked in and smiled. 'Brooke Davis', she smiled and pulled her into a hug, which Brooke didn't appriciate. she slightly tapped her shoulder. 'Hi Peyton'.
'Oh Luke, Lindsay's here too.', Peyton said smiling. Lucas looked directly at Brooke, 'Lindsay?, I thought she couldn't come this weekend....'. Brooke watched him, he looked nervous.
Lindsay walked into the kicthen, 'Hey Babe', she kissed Lucas and wrapped her arm around his waist. He looked at a very uncomoprtable and hurt Brooke. 'Uh... Brooke this is Lindsay
my girlfriend'. Brooke felt like crying, but she didn't, she stood stern and gave her a believable fake smile. 'It's nice to meet you'. Lindsay shook her hand. 'Yeah ditto'.
Brooke looked Lucas and attempted a smile, that would hopefully fool him into thinking she wasn't broken inside. But he knew.
