"Care to explain?" Lucas chuckled dryly, but a serious expression rendered on his face.

Haley ran her hands through her hair, letting out a soft exhale and plummeting down to the carpet, where she looked up to the ceiling. "He's my ex boyfriend," she responded finally, biting her bottom lip.

"Is he stalking you?" Peyton arched her eyebrow, crossing her arms about her chest.

Haley shrugged, "you could say that."

"Well, can't you tell him something? I mean that door really hurt and it's all because he needed to make you angry," Brooke huffed, holding an ice pack against her forehead.

"No," Haley responded, "It's because your nosy," sarcasm flowed through her words.

Brooke glared, a small pout forming on her lips. "No—," she started, but was interrupted by a door being opened.

All eyes went to the destination of the creek and lay upon Nathan; who looked at everyone with disgust. "What are you all looking at? Damn," he scoffed, heading to the corner of the room.

Peyton and Brooke looked at each other, sighed, small smiles working their lips.

Haley tensed up, immediately crossing her arms to her chest and Lucas noticed, eying her suspiciously.

"What crawled up your ass and died today?" Lucas said to his younger brother, ignoring the glare he received. "Wow? Did it hurt that much?" Another vicious glare was thrown in his direction.

"Nate that guy was—f," Haley began, tucking her hands in her pockets.

He silenced her, raising his hand in the air and shaking his head with a chuckle. "It's none of my business and I don't care, I'm going out." He grabbed his coat, not offering a backward glance and walked out.

Lucas looked over to Haley, suspiciously arching his eyebrow. "What was that about Hales?" he paused, "no forget it, I'm going to go find Nathan and go out too, I need it as well." He looked over to Peyton, justifying why he said what he had and walked out the door.

"Both of you better speak up," Brooke smiled, looking back and forth between the two girls; who both shrugged, contemplating innocence.

"What's up?" Lucas asked, sitting on the stool next to his brother.

"Can I get another?" he asked the bartender, holding up his shot glass and watching the bartender nod in comprehension.

"Trying to drink your sorrow's away?" Lucas chuckled dryly, getting the bartenders attention and asking for a beer.

"Sorrow?" He said looking away, "I don't know such a thing as sorrow."

His expression grew serious, and he looked sadly at his little brother. "She's not engaged you know."

Nathan shrugged, "why would you think I care?" Nodding thanks at the bartender as he placed their drinks down.

"Because, I seen the way she looked at you," Lucas shrugged as well, "Besides why else would you be here thinking that if you drink you'll feel better?" He picked up his beer, gulping it down with a sigh. "Never really enjoyed the taste of beer, I think it's too bitter."

Nathan nodded, looking at his brother with confusion. "Yeah neither do I," he said softly.

"And he just wont give up," Haley paced around the room, glancing at the girls who took interest in her story.

"Exciting," Brooke squealed.

"If you say so," Haley shook her head, glancing at Brooke as if she were stupid, a small smile forming on her lips.

"Nathan still loves you," Peyton said, playing with an effervescent curl.

Haley's smile slowly dissolved into a frown, she sighed and sat down beside Brooke. "I don't know about that."

"Oh, definitely," Brooke confirmed, a smile never leaving her lips. "Lucas loves you too," she glanced at Peyton.

Peyton shook her head, "I wish that was the case, but he just couldn't."

"Are you saying you still love him?" Haley grinned, wide-eyed.

Peyton shook her head, "I'm not saying anything, I just mean that he closed his heart to me and it's payback for when I did it to him years ago."
