Haley had been wake up by the storm. It had rained all the day, but now it was worse. she had lit the lamp which was on the nightstand and she was sitting on the windowsill. Usually, the rain made her calm, but today it was the oppposite. The disappointment of the day before and the worry to know Nathan, Lucas and James near of the lake with that storm, made her feel worried. She turned her head to the door when at the same time that a thunder it opened. Brooke appeared. Her brown hair brushed by a ponytail and wearing a pink top and white and pink pants of pyjamas.
"Can I come with you?"
"Of course." Brooke closed the door and went to sit on the windowsill.
"You can't sleep?" Haley asked.
"No. I was watching tv. The storm covers all the coast."
"I'm afraid. Boys are in New Bern..." Brooke rested her head on the cold window.
"Lucas kissed me."
Haley sat up. "Really?"
Brooke sighed. "I don't know where I'm going... You know since the next week Lucas and I are close. We talked a lot when he'd come in Paris. It was like if we had learned to know each other."
"Do you love him?"
"I loved him... maybe I always will. BUt I'm afraid. I don't want to be hurt again."
"I know... But Peyton and him are just friends now... You don't have to be worried about it..."
"No... It's not about Peyton and Lucas. I mean... Not only..." She paused. "Then they're someone else... "
Haley guessed in the way she said these words it couldn't be serious. Haley guessed her friend was trying to convince herself it could be.
"A french man, I met him siw months ago. He's nice." Brooke put her smile on her face.
Haley sighed.
"Does it enough?"
Brooke looked at her friend in eyes. They'd always known what the other was thinking just looking at each other in eyes. Haley's question was right.
"Does it enough to be nice, Brooke? Does he love you? Do you love him?"
"I can't say..."
"How is he?"
"The kind of men I used to date in high school..."
"Jock : sport, drinks, girls and parties?"
"Yeah..."
Haley lowered her head.
"Follow your heart. I just want you to be happy, Brooke."
Lucas and Nathan walked in the wood, the wind had destroyed their tents, the food they had brought and their stuff. Nathan carried James. In spite of the trees they were wet as if they had jumped into a swimmingpool. Their clothes stuck on their sin, drops fell on their face. It was night, they could heard the rain collide with the ground, with the lake further. Flash of lighting. Thunder and Flash again. Nathan winced when James squeezed his neck with his little arms. He tried to make his son up as he slid down off his arms because of the wetness. Lucas put his hand on his brother's and yelled to be heard by him. "There's a shelter further!" Nathan nodded and followed his brother. After few minutes of walking, fighting with the storm they arrived near of a hut. They ran and came inside they sighed relieved. Nathan put James on the floor. The little boy trembled, wet. Lucas shook his arms like to make dry his sleeves. Nathan knelt in front of James and took off his coat. "I'm cold, daddy and I'm hungry." "I know buddy..." James went to sit on the old armchair which was near of a fireplace. Nathan moved to Lucas. "Do you think there's some food, here?" "I don't think... " Nathan went to open the furniture but nothing inside. Lucas opened another one and found blankets inside. He took them and walked to James.
"Hey, Mister J. Take off your clothes and wrap yourself into the blanket."
"Okay, uncle Lucas."
Lucas nodded and took one to his brother.
"Thanks." They did the same and went to sit on the floor next to the fireplace. The little boy stood up and went to sit next his father who surrounded him with his right arm.
"Daddy, I'm still hungry..."
"I know buddy..." Nathan looked for his brother's gaze. They both lowered their head.
"As soon as the storm will have stopped, I'll go to find some food. Now, try to sleep, okay?"
"Okay daddy..." The little boy didn't say anything else anymore, he rested his head on his father's chest and fell asleep. Nathan and Lucas didn't say anything else too, listening to the rain falling and the wing which made a branch of a tree hit against the hut. The silence was til Lucas said.
"What are you think about?"
Nathan smiled. "I was thinking I would give everything to be with Hales. She and I walking in the rain, a sweet and hot rain. You?"
"I would like to eat one of Brooke's cake. A big cake she would make with different colors."
They laughed silently.
"Brooke's bad cooker." Nathan said.
"Yeah... but her best ingredient is Love."
Nathan nodded. "I know what it is. I would like to eat Haley's zucchini bread."
"Oh yes! It's so delicious!"
"Especially hers!"
"Yeah."
The silence settled again til Nathan said.
"You know... Haley and I had planned to have another kid before I mistook."
"You felt ready?"
"Yeah. We tried. But I think she's not ready anymore. She has to trust me again before. Not so easy..."
"She will. No doubt. She loves you."
"I know... Ca we go home tomorrow?"
"Yeah, of course."
They smiled to each other. Lucas closed his eyes trying to imagine what Brooke could be doing right now. Probably sleeping in her cosy bed, smiling to her dream. He smiled to himself and fell asleep. Nathan stared into space for a while hoping for the rain stop. It was probably the first time he hoped something like this. But he wanted so much to be with Haley as soon as possible and take her in his arms to tell her how much he loved her. He closed his eyes, ready to sleep and dream.
Haley was still siting on the window sill. It was still raining. She turned her head, Brooke was sleeping. Haley stood up and went to take the phone. She dialed and waited. She sighed dissapointed when she heard the answering message.
"Hey. It's Nathan. Leave a message and I'll call you back. See you!" Bip.
"Nate? It's me... I wanted to know of everything was okay... I'm stupid because the storm you probably can't use your phone. Anyway... I just wanted to tell you I missed you and I wanted you to go home as soon as possible... Miss my men! Bye... I love you." She whispered the last three words and hung down. Haley sat on the edge of the bed and turned off the light. She laid down and closed her eyes for trying to sleep.
