Lucas ran out of the gym and took off towards Haley's house. He only wanted
one thing now, and he wasn't going to let her go. As he ran through the
parking lot, Peyton, dressed in her bright cheerleading uniform, saw him.
"What is that boy up to now?" She said, louder than she wanted.
Brooke heard her ex-best friend and said, "Isn't that ironic? He wanted to be with you so much that he cheated on me and now he's already off chasing someone else."
"Brooke, how long are things going to be like this?" Replied a slightly upset Peyton Sawyer.
"I don't know. How long do you plan on living?"
"This is pointless. I told you I'm sorry a million times."
"Sorry doesn't erase the past."
"Brooke, you're my best friend..."
"Yea, that's why I expected better from you." Brooke said now with a serious face as she walked away.
Peyton watched Brooke walk away and her eyes filled with tears. She regretted what she had done. Before Brooke got too far away, Peyton yelled out, "Brooke, I want to make this right. I just don't know how."
Brooke turned around, now also crying and said, "Neither do I." Then she turned back and left, both had a mutual understanding that things may never be the same.
Back to Lucas...
As he ran, he felt that step by step he was getting closer to the way things should be. He knew now that Haley was the one for him, that it was meant to be all along. And now, he would finally tell her. Everything would be the way it was supposed to be...
He stopped and looked forward at Haley's house. It was time. Though he felt an anxious fear that something would go wrong, he continued down the stone path through her lawn. There's no better time than now. He thought to reassure himself as he rang the doorbell. But to his surprise, Haley didn't answer the door, Nathan did. Lucas turned around and realized he had completely missed Nathan's car in the driveway. Sweat ran down his neck. He was so embarrassed.
"What do you think you're doing here?" His brother said with a grin on his face as he looked at a shocked Lucas.
"Who's there?" He heard Haley yell from the other room
"Hey, Luke. What are you doing here?" Haley said as she came to the door from her room, looking as if she had just got out of bed. Her hair was messy and there were a few light marks across her neck.
Lucas just stood there in silence.
"Hello, Luke ya there?" Haley said as she waved a hand in front of his face.
"I think he's frozen that way." Nathan said, obviously pleased. Then he smiled as if to say, "I win." This snapped Lucas out of his daze.
"Haley, I need to talk to you."
"Ok, What's up?
"Alone." Lucas said looking at Nathan.
"Hey, punk. I ain't going anywhere."
"Fine! Haley, this guy's a jerk. He doesn't care about you at all and he wasn't even going to come here until I started to."
"Then how come I got here before you? Listen buddy, don't come here and try to start something just because you're jealous." Nathan replied angrily.
"Haley, he doesn't deserve you."
"Oh and you do?" Nathan said, now ready to punch the fool that would dare try to take Haley from him.
"Guys, stop it!"
"Yea Lucas, she wants you to leave."
"Haley, he's a jerk!" Lucas persisted.
At this, Haley went outside pushing Lucas away from the door. "Luke, you can't just come here and do this. He does care. I trust him."
"Haley..." He started to speak, but seeing the look in her eyes, he realized now wasn't the time for this. She wouldn't believe him. "...I'm sorry." He said sadly and turned around to leave.
"Luke, what's going on?"
"Nothing. Everything's just fine." He said as he walked away in defeat.
Brooke heard her ex-best friend and said, "Isn't that ironic? He wanted to be with you so much that he cheated on me and now he's already off chasing someone else."
"Brooke, how long are things going to be like this?" Replied a slightly upset Peyton Sawyer.
