QUOTE OF THE DAY:
The One with the Chickenpox
RYAN: You know what makes the itching even worse?
PHOEBE: That you don't stop talking about it.
RYAN: Fine.
PHOEBE: Let's just play, ok. Good, ok. (She picks up the dice.) Here we go, double sixes, here we go...( She starts to rub the dice all over herself.) Here we go, come to mama, just getting ready to roll the dice...
RYAN: What're you doing? Are you scratching?
PHOEBE: No. This is what I do for luck, ok.
RYAN: You're scratching. Give me the dice.
PHOEBE: No.

RYAN: No.
PHOEBE: Give it.
RYAN: No.
PHOEBE: Yeah, come on. You know you want it, you know you want it too, come on. Let's just be bad, it'll feel so good. (She starts scratching him.)
RYAN: Oh God help me.
PHOEBE: Now do me, do my back. Oh come on, harder.
"Hallelujah"
Well I heard there was a secret chord
that David played and it pleased the Lord
But you don't really care for music, do ya?
Well it goes like this :
The fourth, the fifth, the minor fall and the major lift
The baffled king composing Hallelujah
Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah...
Well your faith was strong but you needed proof
You saw her bathing on the roof
Her beauty and the moonlight overthrew ya
And she tied you to her kitchen chair
She broke your throne and she cut your hair
And from your lips she drew the Hallelujah
Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah...
(Yeah but) Baby I've been here before
I've seen this room and I've walked this floor, (You know)
I used to live alone before I knew ya
And I've seen your flag on the marble arch
and love is not a victory march
It's a cold and it's a broken Hallelujah
Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah...
Well there was a time when you let me know
What's really going on below
But now you never show that to me do ya
But remember when I moved in you
And the holy dove was moving too
And every breath we drew was Hallelujah
Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah
Hallelujah...
Instrumental
Maybe there's a God above
But all I've ever learned from love
Was how to shoot somebody who outdrew ya
And it's not a cry that you hear at night
It's not somebody who's seen the light
It's a cold and it's a broken Hallelujah
Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelu...
Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelu...
Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah
BY: JEFF BUCKLEY
Brooke and James spent the next two days inside the house, waiting for Haley to call but she never did. The day after the dinner from hell, Lucas and Peyton had come over, but Brooke sent them away. They tried to keep busy but they were really worried, Haley always called to check on them. When the third day had come and she still wasn't home Brooke started to get worried, and the fucking Keller's would not answer their phones.
After Nathan Scott left his brothers house he got drunk. His Haley had a son, with the man he hated more than anything. So he got drunk the next day too. Poor kid, having Chris Keller as a father. He didn't know what it was about James, but he really liked him. How could he not, it was Haley's son, the person he loved more than anything. The thought of Haley and Chris having sex kept on running through his mind. He woke up on the third day and had a really bad feeling. It was almost lunch time when he arrived at the café. He could not eat, instead he convinced Karen to tell him where Brooke lived. At first she refused, but after awhile of convincing her she caved.
Peyton and Lucas spent their time waiting for Brooke to call them, but she never did. After James and Brooke left that night after dinner, Lucas told Nathan to get the hell out of his house right before he punched him in the face. He felt bad but Nathan deserved it thinking that James was Chris Keller son. All you had to do was look at the kid and see a miniature Nathan. He's just so mad at Haley that he doesn't see it Lucas thought.
As Nathan stood on Haley's porch, his hands trembled at the thought that she might be inside. He closed his eyes as he knocked on the door.
"Mommy," James said as he opened the door, surprised to find his father there.
"Hey, James can I come in," Nathan asked the little boy.
James looked at him for a minute, "Sure Mr. Scott," he said. They walked into the living room.
"So is um…., your mom or Aunt Brooke here?" Nathan asked terrified of the answer.
"My mom hasn't come home yet, but we are expecting her any minute," James said sure that she would be back any time now, "and Aunt Brooke is in her room on the phone in her room with her boyfriend Chase," James said laughing.
Nathan looked at all the pictures they had in the living room, but one caught his eye. It was of Haley and him on their wedding day.
"Would you like to play NBA Live, Mr. Scott?" James asked breaking Nathan out of his thoughts.
"Sure," Nathan said with a smile. "Look about the other night; I'm really sorry for talking about your mom and dad like that, in front of you."
"It's okay, so you know my mom?" James asked already knowing the answer.
"Yeah, but I'm that was a long time ago," Nathan said with a sadness in his voice. James could see that he did not want to talk about it so he let it go and they played the game. Maybe mom was right and he is a good guy. Then he heard a knock at the door breaking his little thoughts. He threw down his controller, "Mommy, mommy is that you," as he ran to the door.
Oh, this is it Nathan thought. Haley and Chris are here. Just be cool Scott don't want to scare the kid, you can kill Chris later when the kid isn't around.
"Sorry Uncle Luke, I thought that you were my mommy," you guys can come in.
"What are you doing here, Nathan?" Lucas said.
"Relax Luke, just came to tell James that I was sorry about the other night, and he wanted me to play the game with him," Nathan said trying to explain.
"Where's Aunt Brooke, James?" Peyton asked.
"She's on the phone in her room," James said. With that Peyton left the room and went to find Brooke.
"Hey, B. Davis what's wrong?" Peyton asked as she saw Brooke crying.
"She hasn't called and she is supposed to be home already, I'm really worried this isn't like her Peyton," Brooke said trying not to cry more.
"I'm sure everything will be fine, you should really go downstairs Nathan is here," Peyton said.
"What the hell is that ass doing here?" Brooke said storming out the room. When they got down the stairs they heard laughing. The stopped when the saw the three Scott boys all playing the game and having a good time. James was really having fun; Brooke could see it in his face. Before she could say anything she heard someone knocking at the door, before James could even get up, Peyton said that she would go get it. When she got to the door she found Taylor and Chris. They asked for Brooke so Peyton lead them to the living room, she could tell that Taylor had been crying. As they walked into the living room, everyone turned. Nathan fists balled up when he saw Chris.
"Hey, Nate!" Chris said knowing that it would make Nathan furious.
"Well, if it isn't the Keller's," James said.
They just smiled at the little boy. "Come here and give your Aunt and Uncle a hug," Taylor said trying not to cry.
James walked up to Taylor and gave her a hug, then turn to Chris and instead of hugging him he punch him in the stomach.
"What was that for?" Chris asked shocked.
"That's for making my mom go all the way to Florida for your stupid ass!" James yelled
"James Lucas Scott!" Taylor yelled.
"Sorry, Aunt Taylor, but he deserved it," James said.
"I know sweetie, I'm sorry, just next time say butt, your mom would not want you to talk like that and you know it." Taylor said.
Aunt and Uncle? I thought that Chris was James father? James Lucas Scott what the hell is going on here Nathan thought? Well Haley and I are still married so she still has my last name, so that's why the kid has it.
"James, mind showing your Uncle Chris Keller your new room?" Chris asked knowing that Taylor needed to talk to Brooke.
"Only if you stop talking," James said annoyed.
"Deal," Chris said as they left the room.
"Taylor, what's wrong?" Brooke asked starting to cry. "Why are you here and where is Haley?"
"I'm sorry, Brooke I really am, this is all my fault, I shouldn't have made her come meet us," Taylor said now crying uncontrollably.
"Where is she?" Lucas asked starting to get worried by Taylor's crying. He grew up with Haley and he knew her sister was not the type to cry.
"She gone," Taylor said, the words coming out of her mouth made more tears come to her eyes
"What do you mean, gone?" Brooke said as the tears fell from her eyes.
"She never made it to meet us….I, um….really don't know exactly what happened…..The police officer said that it was dark when it happened and it also was raining hard. Brooke they found her car smashed in a river, the people that hit her died too," Taylor cried out.
"What, where is she?" Lucas yelled.
"They said that there was no way that she survived the impact of the car, and if she did then she would have drowned, and the current of the water would have taken her body. They said that they may never find it," Taylor said trying to be strong of Haley's friends.
Everyone was in tears. Lucas and Peyton were holding each other as Brooke held onto Taylor of dear life and then there was Nathan Scott frozen in place of what he just heard.
"Oh, God!" Nathan cried out. "This can't be happening, it's um….just a dream….I'm going to wake up any minute now and she's gonna be here right in front of me," he closed his eyes praying for her to be there when he opened them. He felt the tears falling off his face as someone's arms wrapped around his body. When he opened his eyes instead of Haley being there like he wanted, it was Brooke crying in his arms. He lost it.
They all turned when they heard a basketball bounce on the ground as it rolled. That's when they all saw James standing there. "What's going on Aunt Brooke you hate my dad, why are you hugging him?" James said looking at her. Brooke let go of Nathan and started to walk to him when he turned to Taylor. "Where's my mom?" James yelled starting to cry.
Man how do you tell a five year old that their mother is dead Taylor thought? "Listen sweetie, your mother loved you very much, but there was an accident and I'm sorry but she didn't make it," Taylor said to the little boy.
"You're lying!" James yelled.
"Listen kiddo, I'm so sorry," Brooke started but was cut of by James.
"No, no, no, stop lying, she promised me that she would never leave me," James screamed as the tears rolled out of his blue eyes.
"It was an accident sweetie, I'm sorry but she is in heaven now," Taylor tried to explain.
"No, she can't leave me. Who's gonna go with me to Tigger's fashion shows, are read me Uncle Lukes new book, are watch dad's basketball games with me, huh tell me," he screamed, trying to catch his breath. The tears were not streaming down is little face, "She can't leave me, I can't live without her, I love her too much," as he said this he fell to his knees crying.
Dad Nathan thought?
Everyone was looking at the little boy as Brooke took him in her arms. Lucas had this pain in his chest that he had never had before.
"Peyton……," Lucas called out as he put his hand chest.
"Luke, are you okay," Peyton asked her voice was soft and low from everything that just happened. Before he could answer her, he had already fallen to the floor.
"Call 911" she cried out.
