A few miles away on an empty road Brenda, Brook, and some other drunken
teenagers were driving toward a club in a nearby city. They pulled up to
the club and flashed some fake IDs. Within an hour Brook was in a hotel
room about to get over Lucas. Her cell phone rang and Brook stopped making
out with the cute stranger. Brook answered in her fun-but-drunk voice "Hell-
o" she said.
"Brook?" said the voice on the phone.
"That's me, I think. I'm a little preoccupied at the moment," she responded in the same drunken voice.
"Where are you?" said the voice.
"Mom?" said Brook. "No. It's Lucas I wanted to talk to you." Lucas said over the phone.
"A little late for that now isn't it. You missed you chance." Brook said obviously over Lucas in her drunken state.
"And you got drunk," Lucas hung up the phone. He was too tired for all this. He made his choice. He wanted to let Brook down easily. He couldn't help but think even though she won't be hurt this way; it would have been fun to say no to her again.
Lucas got up and walked over to the door. Before he left he saw Haley out front contemplating to knock on the door or not. Lucas opened it and waited for her to come in. He stood in the door way with the sun in his eyes while Haley walking past him into the house like friends can do. He shut the door and followed her into the family room.
"We should talk," said Haley sitting down comfortably but talking very fast.
"No we shouldn't," said Lucas. "Look, I've had a lot of trouble with you dating Nathan. I had trouble with you tutoring him and not telling me. I have a lot of trouble with this whole thing. But, it's not my life, it's yours. Next time I'll knock. I just needed someone to talk to."
"There's no point in asking if you're sure you're ok with this, but are you sure you don't want to talk," said Haley.
"Positive," Lucas replied. They hugged and Lucas got up to leave.
"What's that on your arm?" said Haley spotting the big bandage used to cover the tattoo.
"Oh right. You remember I told you I made out with Brook the other night,"
"Yeah," said Haley.
"Well, I also got drunk and got a tattoo," said Lucas with a smirk on his face.
"So, you don't tell me anything anymore," said Haley with a smile and a laugh.
Lucas knocked on the door to Payton's house. She answered the door not expecting Lucas. "Payton," said Lucas and caught the door before she could close it.
"Did you really mean that you want everything that I want? Do you. want us?"
"Yes!" said Payton. She couldn't restrain herself. She threw her arms around his neck and kissed him passionately.
"Good," said Lucas when she stopped, "so do I."
Payton smiled. She took him by the arm and dragged him into the house. Lucas hit the door closed behind them.
Meanwhile Haley found Nathan on her door step after she got home. "Nathan," she said surprised, "come in."
"My mom kicked my dad out of the house," said Nathan. He was surprisingly happy.
"Oh, are you ok with that,"
"I never though my mother had it in her but she did. I'm so glad he's gone." Nathan picked up Haley and spun her around letting her hair fly out.
"Good for you Nathan," said Haley when he put her down. "I talked to Lucas." Nathan's smile immediately faded and he turned around with a sigh.
"Nathan, It's ok. He said he'd knock next time and that It's my life not his. He actually did all the talking and ended up being the mistaken one in the end." Haley saw Nathan's smile come back.
"I think I love you Haley," Nathan said holding both her hands with both of his.
"I um." Haley began but didn't have a chance to finish. Once again Nathan's cell phone was going off.
"Yeah. Hi Mom. What. Okay, I'm coming." Nathan's face was full of panic.
"What's happening" said Haley.
"It's my dad. He was in a car wreck. I gotta go," he turned around to leave the house. "Haley," she turned her eyes to make contact with his. "I'll be back as soon as possible," he gave her a quick kiss and left the house.
Later that night Lucas and Payton were out walking down the street hand in hand when Payton's cell phone goes off.
"Hello," she says. "What, Where, I'm fine but I'm coming." She hung up her cell phone. And looked into Lucas's eyes. Payton started to cry. "We have to go to Saint Bronson Street now."
Lucas and Payton ran down the street to Lucas's truck. They started off and within minutes were there.
It was a car accident. Dan and Brook both are critically injured and both are incredibly drunk.
"Brook?" said the voice on the phone.
"That's me, I think. I'm a little preoccupied at the moment," she responded in the same drunken voice.
"Where are you?" said the voice.
"Mom?" said Brook. "No. It's Lucas I wanted to talk to you." Lucas said over the phone.
