Lucas and Haley sat in silence during the short 1 mile drive to the market. The radio was on and played music softly. Haley shifted in her seat uncomfortably, dreading the conversation her and Luke were going to have later that night. Luke could sense the stiffness in the air so he tried to start a conversation.
"So have you read your books?" he asked.
"Ya, you." Haley questioned
"Finished the first week of vaction."
"that's just like you."
"and this is just like Skillz and Junk."
"Ya, just because they don't want to see me."
"Well I want to see you."
"Ya sure, the last time you were in the tutoring center to actually get tutored was freshman year. When you failed your math test because you were up all night making out with Melissa Smith." By this time they were at the market.

Brooke got into the passenger side as Nathan got into the driver seat. He started the car and turned up the radio. Brooke looked over at him and smiled as the song on the radio changed. Nathan looked at her and remembered what had happened when they were 13, at a party, and this song was playing.
"So, do you know where this market place is?" Brooke asked.
"Ya its about a mile away from where that café was." Nathan said. They drove to the café getting lost a couple times, but having fun. They listened to the radio and sometimes sang along with it.
"Nathan, I hate being lost!" Brooke said as they parked infront of the market.
"I tried my best Brooke! We've only been here a couple days." Nathan said.

Jake and Lesley had talked for over an hour. Jake about jenny and Nikki, Leslie about her son Michael and ex-boyfriend Justin. Jake would get up and check on his cousin and aunt periodically. He felt good that there was someone who could understand what he was going through. Jake really didn't know a lot about Lesley, like why she was sitting in a hospital waiting room. All he knew was that she got pregnant with Michael, Justin left, and that she lived with her parents. Jake was in the middle of telling Lesley about Lucas and Haley and tree hill when he heard his aunts cry ringing through the hospital. Jake ran into his cousin's room and saw his aunts shaking body hugging his cousins lifeless body. The line on the EKG machine was flat and Jake could feel his heart break.

Nathan and Brooke walked into the small, homely, market. There were about 5 wall high aisles and three check stands. Brooke grabbed a basket and started walking down the first aisle, Nathan trailing behind her. Nathan would throw things into the basket that Brooke had pointed to.
"That, that, that one, ohh! Some of those. That, no Nathan, that one!" Brooke said as they walked down the aisle. "That, that, one of those, you can pick between those too, that!" Brooke was stopped by a loud cry.
"Lucas! Lucas! Lucas stop! Put me down! Come on Lucas!" Haley cried. Brooke and Nathan, along with a couple other customers walked over to see what all the commotion was. "Lucas! Lucas you know I'm ticklish! I'll never mention it again!" Haley stood on one end of the aisle, her hands planted firmly on her hips. Lucas stood at the other end, a grin spread across his face, but was still trying to look angry. "Lucas Eugene Scott!" Lucas ran to Haley's end of the aisle and picked her up off the ground. Haley's body kicked and squirmed as Lucas tickled her. "Lucas!" Haley yelled. Lucas put her down and finally noticed the people starring at their childish behavior. He grabbed Haley's hand and walked over to there shopping cart, both were laughing. The on-lookers quickly disappeared. Haley and Lucas continued to shop, picking up necessary items. Nathan and Brooke walked to their basket and began to shop. They continued with their routine, Brooke pointing at the item and Nathan putting it in the cart. Brooke was surprised at how the simple act of grocery shopping made her feel so grown up and mature. To Lucas and Haley, shopping was a normal routine that they never second guessed.
"Oh Lucas, I forgot the napkins. Will you run and get me some?" haley asked while standing in the line at the cash register.
"Yeah, sure." Lucas said as he walked off down the aisle.

Peyton sat in her darkened room drawing scenes from earlier in the day. Loud, angry, music filled her room and part of the hallway. Tim knocked on the door but Peyton couldn't hear.
"Peyton?" Tim said in a scared, slightly childish voice, as he opened the door. Peyton looked up, her soft blond curls falling around her face. She turned off the radio. "What Tim?" she said flatly.
"Do you know when Nathan and Brooke are coming home?"
"Tim, they just left. Go play play-station."
"I've already done that."
"Then go play basketball."
"Its not fun unless theres someone to else."
"Tim! Im not your mother! Now go and wach tv or unpack or something!" Peyton yelled.
Tim looked at her, shocked that she had yelled at him. he closed her door and left the room. A couple minutes later he could hear the music filling the house again.

It had been about 30 minutes since jakes cousin had died. Jake was in a state of complete shock. He was about to call Lucas when he realized that he didn't have his phone. He walked into the lobby asumming that it had fallen out of his pocket. The room was empty. His phone sat on the table, a piece of paper trapped underneath it. Jake walked over and picked up the paper. He unfolded it and slowly read the words.
Dear Jake,
It was nice getting to know you. I hope your cousin gets better. You left your phone here, but I figured you'd come back and get it. I'm sorry all I can leave you is this note. I hope you find jenny a good mother. I'll be looking for your name in the NBA. Take care jake.
Love,
Leslie
Jake folded up the note and stuck it in his pocket. He opened his phone and dialed Luke's number.
