As always thank you for the feedbacks, just keep it that way! I never thought that I'd have mire than 100 reviews, it's just too fucking awesome!

So I'm back with a new chapter. It was so long that I cut it in two parts. Here is the first part.

Some of you are really worried about Brucas, I know it's hard but I swear it's gonna be okay! Bible! But before it's gonna be painful and the weird thing is that I'm sure you're gonna be happy about it! Besides you can relax with Naley and Jeyton, at least for now! Yeah I love dramas, it's more fun that way!

Okay enough! Good reading fellows!


A week had passed since Grace's birthday, and Nathan and Haley were finally going to have their first date. She had no idea what Nathan's plan was since he wanted it to be a surprise. Haley was on edge; she was a control freak, good or bad, she hated surprises.

"I don't even know what to wear! What could I wear?" She asked in frustration while she was looking at her wardrobe in her bathrobe.

"Do I look like a fucking fashion designer?" Jake asked to her rhetorically as she was sighing.

"You are useless."

"Okay, let me see." Jake said sighing and pushing Haley away so he could take a look at her clothes.

"You're killing me!" Jake complained as he picked a red dress. " I don't know try this!" He commanded as he turned around so Haley could get changed.

"So you still not talking to Lucas?" He asked.

"Nope! And I'm not going to until he stops acting like an idiot. I mean it's not that hard, Nathan behaved himself the past week." She said as she slipped the dress over her head.

"You know he feels bad since Brooke broke up with him, you should talk to him." Jake told her, trying to get Haley to see how Lucas felt.

"But this is all his fault. I spoke with Brooke and like I said he's an idiot. He has to grow up for God sake... How do I look?" She said as Jake turned around to look at her.

"It's good!" He simply said.

"I'm gonna change."

"No, no , no, no, no! You're gorgeous." He stated as she looked at herself in her beautiful strapless vermilion dress in the mirror.

"Not bad! I should confer to you more often."

''Please don't!" He almost begged her. "What if you told him to suck it up and to apologize to her?"

"That's not the problem. He has commitment issues, and the only person that can help him is himself. If he really likes her, he'll come around eventually."

"That's funny… because I know someone else who has this exact same problem."

"I have my reasons." Haley snapped back.

"You mean Damien West? I know I was there, remember! And I never liked the guy but still what the fuck did he do to you?"

"I don't want to talk about it."

"Hales! You've been saying that for two years now. I'm tired of you using that line. You have to tell to someone, anyone, okay?"

"I don't know Jake... Up or down?" She asked about her hair to change of subject.

"I don't know." He replied as Haley looked at him with more insistence. "I don't know... up, you really need to stop to ask me these kind of things!"

"So I hear that you want to bring Peyton to San Francisco for thanksgiving. Did you warn her about your mother?" Haley asked.

"What? My mother? What is wrong with my mum?"

"Seriously? You don't see what I mean? Your mother kind of hates every girl you date or just the ones who look at you."

"What? No!"

"Yes she does! Do you remember when your parents came here last year? I mean she practically told me that I was fat!" Haley complained.

"She'd never say such a thing."

"She told me to stop eating!"

"To be fair Hales! It was Yom Kippour and you were eating your non-kosher food right in front of her!"

"Okay fair enough." She said as she was putting some make up on.

Haley was smiling at herself in the mirror while Jake was looking at her in silence.

"What?" Haley asked.

"Nothing, it's just nice to see you happy."

"Jake it's just a date, no more okay?" She wanted to be clear.

"You don't know that maybe is the..."

"Don't feed me with your whole ''soulmate'' thing okay? I can't deal with it right now."

"I know that Lucas doesn't like him but I think he's a nice guy."

"He can be a jerk at first but when you scratch the surface he's actually a pretty great guy."

"So what's the problem? He seems perfect for you." Jake asked.

"The problem is that his heart is already taken."

"What do you mean his heart is already taken?"

"I mean that I can't compete with a ghost."

"Hales his wife died almost 4 years ago, I think he's ready to move on."

"You should hear the way he talks about her. What if he can't move on?" Haley got insecure.

"He is! And you too. It's gonna be okay." Jake reassured her.

"Yeah you're right." She tried to convince herself. "Oh my god it's almost 6 pm already! Who take his date this early?" Haley complained.

"Why do you look at me like that? I don't know!" He defended himself.


Brooke was in her bed with a giant Ben & Jerry's Chocolate chip cookie dough tub. She was re-watching Gilmore girls from the beginning. Her phone was ringing when Nathan came in her room.

"Who is it?" Nathan asked.

"Nobody." She said as she saw that it was Lucas who was calling for the hundredth times.

"It's him again! He got some nerve, Are you sure that you don't want to tell me who this bastard is? I could..."

"No! I'm done with him, I just don't want to talk about it, ever!" Brooke interrupted him.

"Whatever you want!" He said as he was sighing.

"So where are you bringing Haley?" Brooke asked.

"It's a surprise. But I promise I'll tell you everything tomorrow. I know that you love to hear this kind of story." He said as he was smiling blissfully.

"It's nice to see you smile." She said as she was almost crying.

"Brooke! You sure it's okay? Because I can't stay here with you. I can call Haley and..."

"No way! I've waited for this for at least 3 years. You can't escape from this brother." She said as she was wiping her tears.

"I really hate this guy!" He said as he sighed again.

"Go and impress her. Make me proud!"

"I'll do my best." He promised. "Rosa cleaned the house and Kelly is here, she's gonna take care of Gracie, but if you need me, just call me okay? I love you." He said, hugging his broken hearted sister before walking out of her room.

The door was hardly closed that Brooke's phone rang again.

"Just leave me the fuck alone Lucas!" She yelled before she hung up the phone without letting him speak.


Nathan was in the basement garage, getting into his beautiful 1957 red Porsche Speedster Replica for the special occasion. Lately he became a little lighter because he was getting closer to Haley, but he also became a little heavier because he was getting farther from Victoire. Despite what he was feeling, he knew he was making the right choice. Lately everything felt so great, it was like being with Haley always had been the right thing to do. And he knew that eventually the weight he felt in his heart would disappear, it was just a matter of time.

Nathan was driving in New York as he was listening the violin concerto by Tchaikovsky. It was a habit that his mother left him, like she used to do, he listened Chopin when he was sad and Tchaikovsky when he was happy. Needless to say that unfortunately for him, he was most accustumed to Chopin.

After half an hour he arrived to Haley's house. He rang at the doorbell and Lucas opened the door, but he slammed it as soon as he saw that it was Nathan.

"Nice to see you too." Nathan muttered.

A few seconds later the door opened again.

"I'm sorry dude, his girlfriend broke up with him and he's a real pain in the ass." Jake said as he was shaking Nathan's hand.

"Poor girl!" He mocked.

"Come in! She's not ready yet."

"Okay!" Nathan said as he walked in.

"Would you like something to drink?" Jake offered to him.

"Well if you don't mind I appreciate a glass of water please."

"I'll bring you that. Come on, sit down! Make yourself comfortable. God only knows how much time she needs to get ready!" He joked as he was showing an armchair.

"Thanks! I'm used to it, my sister is by far the worst." Nathan said laughing.

Jake came back a minute later with two glasses of water, giving one to Nathan as he sat down to turn on the TV to ESPN.

It was a Dallas Cowboys versus the New York Giants game.

"Oh c'mon break that tackle baby!" Nathan said as he watched the screen.

"Ooh!"

"Yes!"

"No kill him! Kill him!" Jake yelled.

"Oh!"

"Hit him!" Jake yelled again.

"Good go!" Nathan said.

"Hit him!"

"All the waaay! Tuchdooown! Whooo!" Nathan was in ecstasy while Hakeem Nicks from the Giants had just made a touchdown.

"Fuck!" Jake shouted as Nathan smirked.

"Cowboys' fan?" Nathan asked.

"Always have, always will. Don't tell me you're a Giants' fan."

"I'm born here, what did you expect?"

"Do you play?"

"Not anymore but I was the QB1 of the Yale Bulldogs." Nathan answered proudly.

"No fucking way! You're that Nathan Scott? I can't believe this. You were the star dude! I was pretty sure that you'd become pro." Jake complimented him

"Sure I loved it but it was just a game for me. But wait a minute you played for the Princeton Tigers, didn't you? Jake Jagleski, Wide receiver!" Nathan remembered.

"Yeah! I remember when..." Jake couldn't finish his sentence.

They heard the noises of Haley's heels going down the stairs. She slowly walked towards Nathan and Jake as she was smiling. Nathan and Haley were looking right into each other eyes.

"Okay I'm gonna see Peyton. Haley you really look great, Nathan it was really nice to catch up, we definitively have to play one day, just for fun. Okay I'm out, see you!"

"Yeah I'm gonna kick your ass Jagleski!" Nathan joked.

"We'll see about that." Jake answered before he disapeared behind the door.

"You're stunning!" Nathan said as he took a few steps towards her, capturing her lips. "Mmm! You taste like strawberries, I could never get enough of it!" He groaned.

"Are you going to tell me where we're going?" She asked, her lips still on his.

"You know the principle of a surprise is to be actually surprised, right?"

"But I hate surprises!" She said whimsically with a pouty face.

"You're gonna love this one, I promise... Okay it's not that I don't like to kiss you but we have to go." He said taking her hand.

"What restaurant did you choose? I bet it's in the Upper East Side." Haley asked.

"You'll see." He said as he helped her into her coat.

"And why we have to go this early anyway?"

"You'll see." Nate answered, trying to be as suspicious as possible.

"You need to answer me!" Haley got impatient. "Oh my God! Are we..."

"Haley! Relax!" He commanded her as he was opening the car door for her and he waited until she sat down to close the door.

"Nice car!"

"I thought it'd be perfect for the occasion."

"By the way you're a real gentleman!" Haley was impressed.

"My mum never had a man who would open the door and pull the chair for her so she thought that at least I would do it for her. It's a habit now, I do it for Gracie, for Brooke or for Peyton." Nathan explained as he started up.

"Your mother raised you well."

"She did her best." He said a little sad.

"It's maybe indiscreet but what happened to her?" Haley asked.

"No, not at all, I told you, you can ask me anything... My mother had a brain tumor. It was very quick, she was gone in a month. Okay enough with my family, what about yours?" He tried to reply without falling apart.

"Okay. My parents are incorrigible hippies, I have 6 siblings and I'm the youngest. First there is Vivian, then Doug and Quinn, and my crazy sister Taylor, even if everyone is crazy in this family she's for sure the worst, after there the twins Brian and Gavin and finally me."

"This seems nice."

"I don't think so. I never had a bedroom just for me, or warm water to take a shower, and when I went down to the kitchen in the morning they had eaten all the cocoa puffs." She said as she was laughing.

"It's funny because I had a bedroom for myself and Brooke had one as well, but she always ended up in mine because we were scared, we were all alone and the place was huge. Well we had a nurse but she wasn't very warm. I guess we are never happy with what we got."

"I guess." Haley said. "So we're not in NYC anymore, where are we going?" Haley asked again.

"Are we really gonna do this again? You're so stubborn and the weird thing is that it's made you more desirable." He kind of complimented her.

"Now I don't know if have to punch you or to thank you." She said as he smiled at her.

They were both silent for a few minutes, but it wasn't awkward at all. Haley was looking at the road signs to have an idea of where they were going.

"Hamptons it is, huh?" She asked to him as he shrugged by way of reply. "And you said I'm stubborn? We're going to have a problem here, two stubborn people means lots of fights!"

"And fights means to make up in bed a lot! I don't see what is the problem here."

"It's a good way to see the situation. Love the attitude!"

"Yeah that's all me, always see the glass as half-full."


In Manhattan, Brooke was weeping alone in her room. Her heartache was proving to be too much for her. Plus she hadn't really talked to anyone since she broke up with Lucas. She couldn't talk to her brother because he'd freak out, Peyton was still in honey moon mode with Jake since their 'I love you's' and didn't have much time to speak, and Haley was Lucas' best friend. She was desperate, she could have talked to anyone, so she took her phone and dialed Clay's number. Clay and Brooke met each other about 7 years ago when she came to visit her brother at Yale. He immediately had a crush on her but she wasn't interested, so they became good friends instead, even if he still flirted with her and she always rebuffed him, it was their routine now, just a game.

"Hey it's Brooke... not really... Can you come here? Please, I need to talk... Thanks." Brooke said to Clay before she hung up her phone.

It was 8 P.M and Grace was already in bed, the nanny and the maid had left. She went down the stairs to the kitchen and she opened the fridge. She stared it for a while before she made up her mind and chose a big chocolate cake. She didn't even bother to cut a portion, she took a spoon with the whole cake instead and she went up to her room.

She set up in her bed and pressed the play button of her DVD player to start the second season of Gilmore girls.

She barely had the time to watch the season premiere before Clay was already knocking at her room door.

"That's not fair, you don't even try and you're still beautiful!" Clay complimented her as he sat down next to her.

"Way too beautiful for you." She mocked as she was crying.

"Obviously." He replied to her as he was smiling at her.

"Clay I'm an idiot. I should have listen to Nate." She said as she cried even more.

"Hey I don't know who it is but he is a fucking idiot! And if you start to listen your brother you're gonna end up all alone with a bunch of cats, because you know he thinks that none of us is good enough for you, well he's not completely wrong for that matter."

"What the hell is wrong with me? Why do I always choose the wrong guy?"

"Nothing is wrong with you, you're just an hopeless romantic, it's not that bad."

"Not this time.." Brooke said seriously.

"Seriously who is this prick?" He asked.

"Promise me you won't tell to Nate!"

"I promise. Who is it Brooke?" Clay was very concerned.


"Okay this is it. Let me put this on your eyes." Nathan said as he was fastening a blindfold on her eyes.

"And I thought that your penthouse was big. Seriously this house is huge, is it yours?" She asked as she showed no resistance.

"It's mine now, my great grandfather had this house built." He explained as he guided her with his hand.

"Where are we going?"

"Give me a few seconds…here we are!" He said taking off the blindfold.

"Oh my..." Haley was speechless.

They were on the beach, there was a table for two with tallow candles and rose petals on it by the water and candles everywhere on the sand.

Nathan pulled the chair for Haley before he sat down.

"I'm really impressed. This is beautiful but how did you do this? You were in Manhattan today."

"It's a secret."

"What? You have super powers or something?"

"Actually... I have something to tell you..." He joked.

"You're an idiot!"

"No, Emily did everything."

"Emily?"

"Is it jealousy that I see?" He teased her.

"What? No! I'm just curious." She defended herself.

"Whatever! Emily is the maid. You're cute when you're jealous."

"I was not jealous!"

"Your nose is growing." He joked.

"So what did your maid cook?" Haley asked, changing the subject.

"Nothing because I'm going to cook."

"I don't think so. I mean I'm pretty sure that there was always someone to cook for you. So you probably really bad at it. Are you sure you want to do this?" She mocked him.

"Positive. Prepare to be surprised!"

"Great now I'm in risk of food poisoning!" She said as she was laughing.

"You know you should watch out because I wouldn't want to see you wet!"

"Wait, what?"

She didn't have the time to understand that Nathan had already caught her and thrown her in the water.


"Wow! Luckily your brother doesn't know anything."

"Sooner or later Nate will have to know about Lucas and I." Brooke said to Clay.

"Not necessarily." He tried to reassure her.

"Trust me there is no way he can't know!" She insisted.

"Why? Wait I'm gonna find two glasses and bring us some vodka."

"That's the thing Clay, I can't drink."

Clay was staring at Brooke soaking in her words. Obviously Nathan will need to know this. And the sure thing is he won't be happy about it.


So what do you think about it?

We'll know more about Brooke's situation
