"that's a silly thing to say.. don't you love her?"

"i..." Lucas took a deep breath and thought about it for a second, sure Peyton was a great looking girl an they did have things in common. Did was the thing though, lately they seemed to be on two different planets and he felt maybe it was more lust then love. "i don't think so anymore... i don't think I ever really did.."

Brooke stayed quiet for a minute not sure what to say. This was the guy of her dreams, and he was telling her he wasn't even in love with the girl he was dating "i'm sorry i asked.."

Lucas turned and looked at him, he smiled sweetly "don't be sorry, i'm glad I finally admitted it out loud." he sighed and walked over to her, he took a seat on the teachers desk "She's a really nice girl don't get me wrong, but sometimes i feel like we are together for the sake of being together.. while there's probably the right person out their for each of us but we are to chicken shit to break up and actually find that person.."

"are you gonna break up with her?"

He just shrugged, he knew he should but he didn't know exactly how to go about it "i don't know.. i mean maybe.. like" he sighed out of frustration. "relationships are complicated for me.."

Brooke smiled sweetly and asked "why do you say that?"

he just laughed and shook his head "you don't know my father... my father is the worst person ever at relationships, see.. you may have heard some of it but i'll tell you. My dad and my mom were high school sweethearts.. yadda yadda. My mom got pregnant, my dad went off to college and met my step mother Deb. She got pregnant with Nathan and left my mom alone. At first my mom wanted my dad to have no part in my life, but she felt it was my choice to make eventually and she thought it may be good if me and Nathan grew up together.. so on weekends and vacations i would stay with my dad and me and Nathan kinda fought all the time when we were little like boys do. But eventually we got close and my dad and step mom saved up a enough money to send me and Nate here with my moms consent cause he wanted us to be great on the basketball team.."

"that doesn't really sound all that bad"

"well see my dad pushed me and Nathan all our lives to be good at basketball. We'd train day and night and for a while we hated the sport, our dad would always say with the way we acted we would never be as good as he was.."

Brooke pursed her lips and spoke softly "oh.. i really don't get what this has to do with relationships.."

"oh yeah.." Lucas laughed slightly "sorry when I start talking about my dad I kinda go off topic.. well first my dad and my moms relationship was shit.. he said he'd be back for her and me and went and got another girl pregnant, great role model. And then my step mom, shes a real awesome lady, but a real problemed lady.. the way our dad pushes me and Nathan it drove her to drink and pop pills.. have a affair.. and its like our dad is slowly destroying her.. and sometimes i'm afraid that will happen to me.."

Brooke leaned forward and placed her hand on top of his "Don't worry broody, you are nothing like him.." she smiled sweetly.

Peyton and Jake finally got over the tree, Jake looked utterly pissed. "I can't believe you just made me climb over that tree Peyton.."

"whatever Jake, there was no other way.."

"we could've just stayed in the dorms and wait till they cleared it.." he huffed.

"i wanted to make sure Lucas was alright.."

He sighed "You know he is Peyton.. you didn't want to make sure he was alright, you wanted to see if he was with a another girl.. that girl being Brooke"

Peyton stopped in her footsteps and turned around to face him "what did you say?"

"I think you heard me pretty loud and clear.. weren't you just the one saying Brooke likes him, and then when me and Haley said Brooke was missing you went frantic, cause you know that Lucas and Brooke could probably be a better couple then you and him..." before he could finish a hand came across his face.

Peyton stared him directly in his face after having slapped him 'how dare you say that to me Jake.." she started to cry.

"oh god.." he sighed "Peyton i'm sorry.."

"don't be."

"but..." he was cut off.

"dont be! Cause you're right!"

Jake's jaw dropped "huh?"

"You're right Jake.. I was afraid Lucas and Brooke were stuck together, talking and laughing and then he realizes she's that prefect girl for him" she wiped her cheek.

"Don't say that Peyton.. he loves you"

"Reality check Jake.. me and Lucas are full of problems. I swear we just stay together for the sake of being together, me being a cheerleader, him being a basketball player... any real feelings besides sexual have been gone for a while.." she bit her lip to try to stop crying. "the worst part is i find myself falling for someone else.."

"really?" Jake asked surprised, truth be told he thought Peyton and Lucas had a alright relationship, he knew they fought but he didn't know anything else. "Who?"

"you..."

Rachel and Damien were in the middle of going at it, Rachel laid there under him looking really bored. He continued to grunt, she rolled her eyes and pushed him off.

He stared at her "Why the hell did you just do that?"

"i'm not in the mood.."

"are you thinking of that ex of yours?" Damien's fists clutched "i'll beat his ass i swear..."

Rachel placed her finger to his lips cutting him off "Damien don't try to talk tough, you simply are.."

he glared at her and sat up "screw you Rachel.."

"Weren't you just doing that?" she smirked.

"i dont get you.. are you using me for my body?"

Rachel couldn't help but laugh "ha ha, i didn't know I was sleeping with a girl? But to tell you the truth i've had better girls then you in bed"

"What..?" he asked in shock "You've gone lesbo?"

she shook her head and sat up pulling the blanket up enough to keep her chest covered "you are almost as big of a idiot as Tim, i did not go Lesbo.. I experimented.."

"with girls?" a smirk creep across his lips "tell me about it?"

she pushed his chest "no.. but i'll tell you this they know how to use their mouths" she smirked and licked her lips.

"oh really, I bet i can do better" he leaned in and started to kiss her neck, only to be denied and pushed away "What the fuck Rachel, talk about ruining the moment"

"There's no moment here Damien. You're a idiot.."

"I'm the idiot, you're little miss cock tease over here"

she laughed "oh please you like it.. hey how about we get dressed and visit the rest of the dorm and play some games?"

"What kind of games?"

"Games that afterwards you'll get a big reward" she licked her lips.

"i like the sound of that"

Haley and Nathan laid in her bed, surrounded by the recently lit candles. They were just laying there enjoying each others company.

"I hope Brooke doesn't mind me using all these candles" Haley smiled.

"why would she, they are candles.. they are suppose to be used"

she just laughed "little do you know about females.. girls like to use candles as decoration"

"i don't see the point" he smiled at her, giving her nose a little kiss.

"its just a girl thing" she smiled once again "you know when I first met you i thought you were really nice and everything but i thought you were probably a huge asshole too"

"i use to be, i try not to be.. I don't wanna turn into my dad" Haley watched as his face dropped at the mention of his father.

"You guys don't get along much do you?"

he just shrugged and turned to lay on his back "it's complicated.. he's made a lot of mistakes and is a hurtful person and I dont want to end up like him"

"i don't think you will.." she stopped when she heard her phone go off, she shoot up and looked for it. When she grabbed it she could see it was a text message from Brooke "it's Brooke.." she opened it and began to read it.

Hey tutorgirl, i'm safe with Lucas in the...

"in the what!?" Haley yelled out trying to get the rest of the text message. "crap.."

Nathan sat up and looked at her concerned "Everything alright?"

"kinda, Brooke is safe with Lucas.. but it cut off where the are"

"they are together?" his eyes widened.

"Yeah.." she looked to see his face "is that a problem?"

"for Peyton it may be.." he shrugged.

"what do you mean like that?"

"I think Peyton is jealous of Brooke, don't quote me on that one though.."

"she's jealous of Brooke.." she couldn't help but laugh, Nathan looked at her like she was crazy "sorry, but i'm pretty sure Brooke is jealous of Peyton for dating Lucas.."

"why would she be?" he smirked "she likes him doesn't she!? I knew it, I told Lucas but he didn't believe me..."

"Wait! You told Lucas Brooke likes him?"

he nodded slowly "yeah kinda, well I had a feeling she did.."

"oh boy" Haley shook her head and fell back against her bed.

- - - - - - - - - - - - -

"me!? What do you mean me?" Jake was shocked, confused, he was just a lot of things all at once.

"Jake I think I have feelings for you"

"You can't say that Peyton" he ran his fingers through his soaking wet hair "you're with Lucas and i.. i..."

"you, you what?"

"you just can't say that alright! Its too comp.." before he could finish he was cut off with Peyton's lips crashing down upon his.

- - - - - - - - - -

Brooke and Lucas sat there in silence for a bit, either of them not really knowing what to say. "so Brooke..." Lucas finally spit out.

"yeah?"

"Why don't you have a boyfriend?"

she sat their in silent for a moment, what she was gonna say well i'm totally utterly in love with you so I am hoping you break up with Peyton and date me "uh, i guess i haven't find the right guy"

"I bet you will.. really soon too" he smiled sweetly at him.

"i can only hope, right?"

"tell me something about you Brooke Davis.. something that many people don't really know.."

she put her finger on her chin as she thought about it, then a smirk came on her features "i wanna be a designer.."

"Really, have you ever made anything?"

"a couple things, i don't think they are that good though"

he smiled at her, that damn Scott smile, she knew Nathan had it but did Lucas have to also "i bet they are fantastic"

"you're just saying that" she blushed "now Broody, tell me something no one knows about you"

"Hmm, thats a toughy"

"Think hard!" Brooke exclaimed.

He laughed "i am, I am.." he thought for a minute then smiled "if Basketball doesn't work out.. i wanna be a writer"

"do you write a lot?"

he shrugged "kinda, I have been writing this novel for a long time but no one knows about it"

"really?" Brooke perked up "i'd love to read it sometime.."

"show me some of your designs and i'll show you the novel.. deal?" he held out his hand for her to shake it.

"Deal!" she took it and shook it.

After laying there for a while, Nathan started to tickle Haley, which turned into little kisses which then turned into a full on make out session. But it was suddenly disrupted when a knock came at the door.

"i gotta get that" Haley said between kisses.

Nathan smirked against her lips "no you don't.."

"Nathan" she smiled and pulled away "it's probably Jake.."

Nathan sighed "fine, but hurry back..."

she got up off the bed and walked backwards towards the door, smiling all the way. When she finally got to the door she opened it only to have her face drop "What do you want Damien?"

"I came to bring a pretty girl flowers..." his worlds trailed off seeing Nathan laying in Haley's bed, and from the way the bed looked something was definitely going on here "what the hell is this?"

"What the hell is what Damien?" she asked irritated.

"you told me you didn't break up with me for this loser.."

Haley finally had a enough of this creep "Damien the only loser around here is you and..."

"Hales i'll deal with this.." Nathan walked over to the door and looked at Damien "what do you want here?" he looked at the flowers and laughed "trying to bring Haley flowers to win her back? Cause that's not happening"

"And why is that?" Damien asked with such a harsh tone.

"Cause Haley is my girlfriend.."

"your what!?" Damien and Haley asked at the same time.

"you heard me, Haley is my girlfriend.. now take these" Nathan pushed the flowers into Damien's chest "sorry excuse for flowers and go have sex with my ex girlfriend who you were sleeping with when you were still dating my now girlfriend and get a life.. bye" he slammed the door in Damien's face and turned to Haley "hopefully he won't show his face around here anymore" he looked at Haley, who seemed to be standing there dumbfounded "Are you alright Hales?"

"did you just call me your girlfriend?"

Nathan shyly smiled as he ran his fingers through his hair "Yeah I did.. is that alright?"

"uh I guess... what does it mean though?"

"well i guess it would mean.. Haley would you be my girlfriend?"

she smiled "Yeah Nathan I would.." she went over and wrapped her arms around the neck and leaned in for a soft kiss.
