"Sorting things Out"

"So do you have any idea where he is?" Jake asked Lucas as they walked down the street towards the park with flashlights.

"Nope, not really. I already called all of his friends, he's not at any of their houses." Lucas replied.

"He more then likely just went to the park and played some ball, that's what I always did when I went at it with my dad." Nathan replied.

Chad had been sitting underneath a tree listening to the guy's conversation. After he ran away from his moms he had gone to the park to shoot some hoops and think, when it got dark he decided to just walk around until could think of somewhere to go. But when he heard the guys coming he ran and hid so they wouldn't see him.

"Can we go home already?" Chad asked stepping out from the tree he was standing under.

"Chad do you realize we have been looking for you for over an hour now?" Luke said not wanting him to see the relief in his voice.

"Well you've found me now so let's go home and get this stupid weekend over with already." Chad replied as he started walking back towards his mom's house.

"Thanks guys." Luke told them for helping. "No problem if my kid were missing you would help too." Jake replied.

Nathan took off and headed for home, he hated being away from Haley when he knew that she could have the baby at really any moment and with her being as damn stubborn as she was she wouldn't take any one's help.

The car ride back to Luke's was quiet, neither of them said anything. Luke decided he needed to break the silence. "Your stuff is already over at the house." He said simply. "Dad I'm sorry about earlier today." Chad replied. "Yeah whatever Chad." Luke replied. He wasn't going to let Chad get off the hook that easy.

"Do you forgive me?" he asked. Luke thought about this for a moment before he decided to answer. "Why don't you tell me why you said the things you did and then I'll decide if I forgive you or not." He replied.

"I don't know why," Chad replied. He honestly didn't know why he had done any of the things that he had but he didn't really care. Some of him had felt that way for years, ever since he had found out that he had another dad out there somewhere that didn't want him. "Well then I guess you're grounded." Luke replied as he pulled into the driveway.

"So you want to talk?" Brooke asked sitting down on Jamie's bed. Jamie and Jenny shared a room; it was the second largest room in the house and had two beds, two desks with computers on them. Four dressers and a very large walk in closet. Both Jenny and Jamie loved to shop they had taken after Brooke a little too much.

"No thanks mom," Jamie replied not looking up from her chair at the computer. "Jamie your welcome to stay as long as you'd like, you know that. But you can't hide here forever you know." Brooke said. She was worried about her daughter and wanted to help. "Mom it's just for the weekend until Jessica gets back and then I go back to dad's house." She replied. She knew her mom wanted to help but this was something that she couldn't take care of.

"Ok but if you want to talk I'll be in my room reading up on cute baby names." She said with a smile.

Just then Jamie was once again interrupted, "Hey Jam," Jenny said as she walked in. "Let me guess mom sent you in here to talk to me right?" "Busted, but you can have half the 20 if you want," Jenny offered. Jamie laughed; her mom was crazy and willing to do anything for her. Even pay Jenny to come and talk. "But you know I would have come and talked to you anyway even if mom hadn't paid me." She replied in her own defense. "So what's up?" she asked.

"If you promise not to tell my mom I'll tell you ok." She replied. "OK I won't tell mom, but does it have to do with Chad like she thinks?" she asks. "Do you remember what happened a couple months ago?" Jamie asked sitting down across from Jenny on her own bed. "You mean with Liz and Chad?" she asked.

"Yeah, well Liz called me this weekend from collage," Jamie replied. "And?" "And she's pregnant." "What!?!" Jenny yelled. "Shh, do you want mom coming in here and finding out." Jamie replied. "Oh sorry, continue." Jenny said pretending to sip her mouth shut and then "toss" the key across the room. "I don't know, I mean I was mad as hell when Chad told me that he and Liz were dating, I mean she is almost 20 and he's only 15. It was so weird being around him because all we would do is fight, and we never fought growing up." She remembered back to just a couple months ago when Chad had admitted to dating Jamie's best friend. "I just can't believe that he didn't tell me, she said she told him over 2 months ago! I thought if I was over there I would just start screaming at him and well then everyone would find out. I don't know what to do."

"What are they going to do?" Jenny asked. "She doesn't know, I mean she replied with, 'I'm only in collage' but of course Chad's just in High school he can't raise a kid." Jamie replied. "Dad was only 15 when Nikki had me, and your parents were 16, and Jessica was 17. It's not impossible ya know." She replied trying to help out Jamie. "I know, but I better go and talk to him before he gets himself into anymore trouble then he is already in with Dad." She replied hugging her sister and leaving the room.
