(Haley walks up.)
Haley: Found anything juicy yet?
Lucas: I was getting there.
Haley: This is a bit embarrassing.
Lucas: I never in a million years would think you would ever love me the way you love Nathan.
Haley: I'm just full of surprises.
Lucas: I've been thinking about everything you told me earlier. About how I would be leaving my best friend. And that scares me it scares me to the point that I don't think I wanna leave now.
Haley: It wasn't meant to scare you. It was meant to remind you not to forget what is left back here in Tree Hill.
Lucas: I'll never forget Hales. How can I? You have played such a big role in my life and I don't want to lose all that just cause I feel like running away.
Haley: Each day I think I think about you leaving more and more I know that you cannot do this to me Lucas. You can' all of a sudden out of nowhere say "Haley I'm leaving forever" that's not fair.
Lucas: Haley you were doing so well you were accepting it now it's harder on me cause your making me not wanna leave.
Haley: You have played such a big role in my life. And you expect me to let you leave and not be upset over it? I'm sorry I can't do that.
Lucas: I dunno what I'm doing anymore part of me wants to leave and the other part I don't. You know it's like I'm split down the middle. Mom won't stop crying. I think that is what's bothering me the most you know. I don't wanna leave her here all by herself I want her to say yes to Keith and let them be together, but for some reason she won't. And now Brooke hates me and that makes it even harder on me, but I love Peyton so much I just wish I did everything differently. I should have waited till I broke up with Brooke before ever messing around with Peyton.
Haley: Yeah you should have Brooke really loved you she was crazy about you.
Lucas: So I've heard.
Haley: I gotta get home. Please think about what we have talked about. And just think about how many people would miss you.
Lucas: I will thanks Hales.
Haley: No problem Luke.
(Lucas and Nathan at the basketball court shooting hoops.)
Nathan: So what made you decide to wanna leave all of a sudden?
Lucas: All the drama I have been screwing up so much I need to start over fresh meet new people.
Nathan: What about Peyton?
Lucas: What about her? We've talk it over and we have agreed that we are still going to stay together.
Nathan: That's cool.
Lucas: You better take care of Haley.
Nathan: You know I will. She's moving in with me this summer.
Lucas: That's good I wouldn't leave her here alone. I just don't want her to ever have her heart broken and you know I would kill you if you ever broke her heart.
Nathan: Yeah I know you would. But you know I won't. I gotta a question for you.
Lucas: What?
Nathan: I am thinking about proposing to her. Should I?
Lucas: Yeah.
Nathan: I might do it tonight.
Lucas: That's cool. I'm sure she will call me and tell me about it.
Nathan: Yeah. I never got a chance to thank you for bringing her into my life.
Lucas: And I never thanked you for bringing Peyton into mine. Man I love that girl so much.
Nathan: She's seriously going to go crazy without you here.
Lucas: I've been thinking about bringing her with me.
Nathan: That would be cool.
Lucas: Yeah, but I don't know. I can't take her away from everything she has down here.
Nathan: True you could talk to her about it.
Lucas: Yeah I might take her out to dinner tonight.
Nathan: You should.
Lucas: Yeah let me call her now and see if she can.
(Lucas walks over to the benches and gets his cell phone out of his bookbag. And dials her number.)
Peyton: Hello?
Lucas: Hey Peyt.
Peyton: Hey Lucas whatcha up to?
Lucas: Nothin just down here shootin some hoops with Nathan.
Peyton: Sounds fun.
Lucas: Yeah. I was wondering if you wanted to go out to dinner tonight my treat.
Peyton: Yeah sure what time?
Lucas: Umm... It would have to be around 8 is that to late?
Peyton: No perfect.
Lucas: Ok I will come and pick you up then.
Peyton: Ok cya
Lucas: Bye.
(Peyton and Lucas that night at dinner.)
Lucas: Haley's not taking me leaving that well.
Peyton: Well do you blame her. You've been her best friend since she was 2.
Lucas: I guess I can't. But I can't just not leave cause of her you know? I got to make my own decisions now.
Peyton: Noone wants you to leave. I guess we're all scared. Everything's going to be different when you leave.
Lucas: No they won't.
Peyton: I feel like your leaving the whole Brooke situation all on me now. I thought we was going to talk to her together remember.
Lucas: I don't think it matters anymore she's gonna say she hates us and she'll never talk to us again. She'll never going to forgive us Peyton.
Peyton: She has too. She's my best friend.
Lucas: But wasn't I worth it.(Smiles)
Peyton: I'm glad you think this is all funny cause it's not I hurt the person that was always there for me and you expect me to let her hate me forever.
Lucas: I'm sorry.
Peyton: Yeah.
Lucas: So what do we do now?
Peyton: Just stay friends.
Lucas: I don't know if I can do that Peyt.
Peyton: Well your gonna have to, cause I can't do that to her again.
Lucas: I know I wanna be with you again so bad.
Peyton: Yeah..... When you were in the hospital Brooke came everyday more than I did. She left you flowers and cards and you should have heard everything she said to you. If you would have heard her you would of regretted ever messing around with me.
Lucas: I doubt that.
Peyton: She came and kept Caren company. She told her she loved you so much and how you bettered her life. She said she wished she could just marry you now and get it over with.
Lucas: Please Peyton.
Peyton: You need to hear it. Lucas, Brooke loved you more that I ever have. I have never been able to give you the love that she has givin' you. She gave you something that was so sacred to her. She has never let anyone in like she let you.
Lucas: Are you saying I was her first?
Peyton: Yeah.
Lucas: Wow I didn't know that.
Peyton: yeah and I think that's why it was so hard for her to let you go.
Lucas: Why are you doing this?
Peyton: Doing what?
Lucas: Bringing up all this stuff about Brooke. Don't you want us to be together?
Peyton: Yeah more than ever, but I want you to know what you left for me.
Lucas: I know what I left and I don't regret it.
Peyton: Luke can we go tell her now?
Lucas: I guess we better before it's to late. But let's eat first.
Peyton: Ok
(They finish up and then leaves. Drive into Brooke's driveway.)
Lucas: We can't back out of this Peyt. It's now or never.
Peyton: I know.
(They walk up to Brooke's door and knock.)
Brooke: Hey your still here Luke.
Lucas: Yeah I'm still deciding on if I should go or not.
Peyton: We need to talk to you about something.
Brooke: Ok come on in.
(They walk up to Brooke's room and sits on her bed.)
Brooke: So whats up?
Peyton: Lucas can you tell her?
Lucas: Brooke me and Peyton kinda have been messing around for awhile.
Brooke: Awhile as in when we were dating?
Lucas: Yeah....
Brooke: What the hell Luke? I gave you everything and you cheat on me with my bestfreind?
Lucas: Look I'm sorry.
Brooke: How can you even be sorry for something like that?
Lucas: I don't know Brooke but I am. I felt so bad for doing it so that's why I had to end it with us......... Brooke you have to forgive me before I leave.
Brooke: I don't think I can. Can yall leave now?
Lucas: Yeah.
Peyton: I'm sorry Brooke.
(Brooke lays on her bed and cries.)
Lucas: We shouldn't have done this. I never wanted to hurt her.
Peyton: And you think I did? Destiny has been my bestfriend forever and I had to be the idiot to screw it up. (She starts to tear up.)
Lucas: Come here Peyton your not a idiot. I am. I'm the one who had the girlfriend and cheated on her.
Peyton: What if she doesnt forgive us?
Lucas: Let's just go home and just hope she does.
Peyton: Yeah.
(Peyton goes home and gets on her computer. She pops up her e-mail and theres a letter from Nathan on it. They always talked on line but he never emailed her.) Hey Peyton it's me Nathan! Ummm... you havnt been on latley so I figured I would email you and see whats up. Bummer that Lucas is leavin' how are you taking it? Are yall going to try the whole long distance deal? I thi.....
H&J23:Hey! Peyton04:Hey Nathan I'm reading your email h/o k H&J23:k

Peyton04:Ok done. H&J23:So where have you been? Peyton04:Busy lol H&J23:Yeah busy with Lucas haha Peyton04:Yeah ok H&J23:I think Haley has fallen in love with Lucas. Peyton04:Why do you say that? H&J23:I don't know she's been spending so much time with him lately and stuff. Peyton04: Don't worry about it she loves you and only you. H&J23:I have my doubts sometimes but hey it might just be me. Peyton:Yeah it will be ok trust me. H&J23:I do. Peyton04:I g2g so ttyl :) H&J23:ok 8-3-1 Peyton04:8-3-1 u to :)
Haley: I'm getting bored Nathan!!!!!
(Haley was on the couch watching tv while he was on the computer.)
Nathan: Ok hold on a sec!...... What do you wanna do?
Haley: I don't care.
Nathan: Let's talk.
Haley: About what?
Nathan: About us. Haley I've been feeling like you have givin' up on me latly.
Haley: Nathan are you crazy?
Nathan: I'm serious.
Haley: Why do you think this?
Nathan: Since you've been going to see Lucas all the time.
Haley: Nathan Lucas is my best friend and he's leaven' so of course I'm going to try to spend as much time with him as I can. I'm sorry if that bothers you.
Nathan: It does Haley. Cause we were really getting into each other and we were so in love.
Haley: We still are right?
Nathan: Yeah of course.
Haley: Then what's the problem.
Nathan: Nothin' I guess I've just missed you that's all.
Haley: Baby I still love you the same me hanging with Lucas doesn't change that.
Nathan: I guess I'm scared of losing you. When you and Lucas finally moved down here and Lucas started bringing you over to my house, I fell so in love with you. You looked so hot.
Haley: (Biggest smile on her face.) Well geeze...
Nathan: No not only that, but that night you snuck in my room and we talked and you told me you were saving yourself for marriage I respected that. That's what made me want you even more. Your not like the other girls Haley. Your special.
Haley: Awww... I was so embarrassed when I told you that. I thought you were going to turn away after I told you that, but Lucas told me you needed to know that before we ever got into anything serious.
Nathan: Don't be ashamed of it Haley. I will wait forever for you.
Haley: I know you will. I gotta go babe call ya tomorrow when I get up.
Nathan: Ok I love you.
Haley: Luv ya too.
(Lucas decides that the only way Brooke will know how he feels is to write it to her.)
Brooke, I figured I would write this cause I know you won't talk to me or listen to what I have to say. Please don't hate me forever over this. I thought in my head that after I told you I would wake up and we would be back to normal but I haven't woken up I am still in my own little fantasy land. I need you to wake me up and tell me its all ok and that you forgive me you have to forgive me. I probably won't leave I have been having second thoughts. Please talk to me again I miss us talking. But I can understand if you don't I hurt you so bad and I am so sorry for that. I gotta go but please think about this k.
Lucas
(He puts it in her locker the next day at school. He finds a note later that day in his that said Lucas,
If your trying to get me to talk to you by sending me stupid little love notes it won't work! Brooke
r/r- Give me some ideas! I love to hear what yall think should happen. Thanks :)
