Lucas and Keith
They had just pulled into the driveway. Lucas sat still, not making a move to get out of the car. Upon his face was an expression of utter shock. He could not believe his ears. He had a brother for all these years, and no one had told him? He was angry. He had a chance to find someone else in this family that he could relate to, but no one told him? He just couldn't believe it. "Why didn't anyone tell me?" Lucas inquired of his Uncle. He voice sounded slightly angry, but he knew he couldn't blame all of this on his uncle. After all, he was only one of the many people who could have told him.
Keith just stared back at his nephew. "I don't know. Your mom just thought it would be best if you didn't know, I guess." he answered, shrugging slightly. He had actually thought to question that when he had spoken with Karen once, but didn't know how she would take it.
"Best for who?" Lucas shouted angrily. "Me, or her?" he knew what he had said was harsh. He was just so angry and he wanted to know why his mom hadn't told him about Nathan. 'Was it because she really thought it was best for me to not know, or was she really just afraid to share her feelings about Dan leaving her and moving on with anyone else?' Lucas thought to himself. Moving to Tree Hill was already hard on him, this only complicated things.
At a Party
It was Saturday night and Brooke was having a party, as usual. Haley and Nathan had come together and were talking in the kitchen with Tim, Peyton and Brooke. Brooke was already drunk, and laughing at almost anything any of them said. People all around them were drinking or already drunk, but neither Haley, nor Nathan had anything to drink. Haley had to admit that she was surprised that Nathan hadn't had a beer yet, but she was happy all the same.
After a while, Nathan pulled Haley aside and they walked outside. They each took a seat on the bench swing that was on the Davis' porch. The air was slightly chilly, and Nathan could see that Haley was cold. He scooted closer to her and put his arm around her, pulling her close, since he did not have a jacket to offer her. She smiled graciously and rested her head on his shoulder. "Nathan" she began quietly "Why aren't you drinking?" She had to ask him, it wasn't like him to go to a party and not have anything that contained alcohol.
Nathan smiled and laughed a little. How had he known that this observation would not escape Haley? Still smiling, he answered "I'm not drinking tonight because I have no reason to get drunk. I used to drink when I was upset or angry, but I never feel that way anymore. I have you, and you're all I need." He finished, smiling sweetly.
Haley looked up into his eyes and wondered how Nathan always knew the right thing to say. "Nathan, you're so sweet." she said, wearing a smile that matched his. She lifted her head and kissed him softly. The kiss grew more passionate, and neither Haley nor Nathan had any intention of stopping. They loved each other.
Lucas and Keith
Keith stared disbelievingly at Lucas. He could not believe what he had just said. It wasn't like him to say stuff like that, he was always kind, nice and loving, especially to his mother. His comment caught Keith so off guard that he didn't even know how to answer. He just continued to stare at Lucas blankly.
Seeing his uncle's reaction, Lucas immediately regretted what he had said. He turned away and looked ahead instead of directly at Keith. "I'm sorry." he mumbled. "I didn't mean it that way. It's just..." he began, trying to decide on the right way to put it. "I was just surprised about the whole thing." He spoke with heart, for what he said was true and he meant it. "I was angry that no one had told me until now." He looked back over at Keith as he finished speaking.
"I know, Luke, and I'm sorry that you had to find out this way." said Keith who looked right back at him.
"I know. It's not your fault." he said. He then opened the door and climbed out of the car. He grabbed his luggage, entered the house and preceded to the room that Keith had said was to be his, shutting the door behind him.
