Still that night
Brooke was lying on Lucas's bed with her head on his chest. Lucas had his arm wrapped around her. Brooke was rather quiet and this didn't go by unnoticed by Lucas.
He breathed in her scent and said "Brooke are you okay? You haven't said much since we got here."
Brooke sighed "I am fine I was just thing about everything that has gone wrong in my life."
Lucas said "Like what?" Brooke sat up.
Brooke looked down at her hands "My life just been hard…this whole matt thing is going on and then the anniversary of-" She stopped realizing that she told him to much. She never really talked about her emotions unless it was Nathan, Haley or sometimes Peyton.
Lucas looked at Brooke "Brooke what anniversary?"
Brooked sighed an continued to look down at her hands "My Parents death….it happened five years ago."
Lucas lifted Brooke's chin by his fingers "Babe you don't have to tell me if you don't want to"
Brooke looked into his eyes "No I want to…. We were driving to Haley's singing lesson and a drunk driver hit us head on….me and Haley were out for two weeks and Nathan stayed at our bed side the whole time. He was only 12 but he refused to leave…. The weird thing was me and Haley woke up at the same time, we always guessed it was a twin thing…..when we woke up Nathan told us that our parents died. Haley blamed herself and I think she does to this day. Ever time the anniversary comes up she gets distant from Nathan and I."
Brooke was looking down again and tears drops fell on her knees and she quickly wiped them away. She hated being vulnerable in front of people.
Lucas grabbed her and pulled her into to a hug "Brooke listen I cant take the pain from your parents accident away and I wish I could….but one thing I know is that I will not let Matt hurt you and I am going to be there for you"
Haley and Jake were sitting on the beach outside the house. Jake had a blanket wrapped around them and Haley was sitting between his legs with her back against his chest.
Haley said "Jake what are we going to do about Nathan?"
Jake said "I don't know, he isn't going to be to happy but we have to tell him."
Haley said "Yeah I know it just it so hard to talk to him sometimes, he acts like our father instead of our brother sometimes….." she shook her head "Enough about that" and she got up pulling Jake with her.
Jake said "Where are we going?"
Haley smiled and said "You will see…."
She pulled him towards the house.
Nathan arrived at the pizza place and found a table near the back.
He was drinking his soda when someone approached from behind.
The voice said "Well well well did you miss me Davis?"
Nathan turned around and looked at a beautiful red head, with a good figure and a great smile.
Nathan smiled and got up "Of coursed I did Rachel" he hugged her.
Rachel hugged him back she missed her friend. When they pulled apart she sat in the chari across from him. The waitress came over and took the orders and left.
Rachel smiled "So Davis I have some news for you…" Nathan looked up "My parents have decided to let me move back here and live in our old house again."
Nathan Heart stopped for a second and he said "Rachel that is great I missed not having you around here, Brooke and Haley are going to be happy too."
Rachel smiled "well I am happy too. So Davis what has been going on in good all tree hill since I was gone?"
Nathan looked down "Nothing knew really"
Rachel chuckled "Nathan that may work on anyone but I know you better than you know yourself sometimes, so why don't you tell me what's really up."
Nathan smiled "You could always read threw me….it's just that the anniversary is coming up and you know that Haley gets distant when it comes up. So I am a little worried about her and Brooke is her normal wild self so she keeps me on my toes. How have you been doing?"
Rachel chuckled and shook her head "Nathan I love that you care about your sisters but they need a brother not a father."
Nathan laughed "You sound like them, they say that all the time."
Rachel smiled "Well that really doesn't surprise me"
Brooke woke up and felt a protective arm around her waist. She looked at her phone and saw that it was ten o'clock. She knew she had to get home or Nathan and Dan were going to flip.
Brooke slid from Lucas's arms and went to his desk to write him a note.
She put the note on his pillow and kissed him on his head. Brooke walked out the door to his room and headed home.
Brookes phone vibrated in her pocket when she reached her house. She pulled it out a looked to see that she received a text from Haley:
Brooke not coming home tonight, cover for me I will tell you later
- Haley
Brooke sent a text message back to Haley:
No Problem but I expect details tomorrow, be careful
- Brooke
Haley put her phone down on the table and tied took off her shoes.
She called out for Jake "Jake come on"
Jake came out of the bathroom five minutes later and saw Haley in her cheerleading shorts and sports bra. He smiled at her petite and beautiful figure.
Jake moved closer "Haley what's going on?"
Haley smiled and ran out the back door, Jake followed and watched as Haley jumped into the beach water.
He jogged to the shore and said "Haley what are you doing?'
Haley smiled "Come on Jake live a little, I know you are not going to leave me in here all alone would you?"
Jake chuckled and pulled off his clothes leaving him in only in his boxers. He ran into the water and went over to her. When he reached her Haley was smiling at him and her eyes were sparkling off of the water. He wrapped his arms around her waist and she wrapped hers around his neck.
Haley chuckled "I told you that you wouldn't be able to leave me alone out here."
Jake smiled "You are just to hot" he leaned down and pulled her into to a kiss.
Haley pulled back and smiled "thank you Jake."
Jake kissed her nose and smiled "For what?"
Haley said "Fro being there for being."
Jake said anytime and pulled Haley into a passionate kiss.
