The Next Day

-The Café-

"Welcome to Kar...Oh my god, Luke," Haley screamed running towards her best friend.

"Good to see you too, Hales. I've only been gone for like two weeks." He responded to her, "Ok I need air now," Luke said gasping for air.

"Oh sorry," Haley said quickly letting go of him and stepping back. "so why are you back all of a sudden? Don't get me wrong this is awesome but...?" she stopped talking and waited for Lucas's response.

"Well something happened with Brooke and I decided it would be better if I was in Tree Hill." He said leaving his answer very open ended.

"Ok." Haley said, "Can I get you a burger or something?" she asked.

"Yah, a burger would be great." Haley got a burger for herself and Lucas and the two sat down talking just like old times.

-Peyton's Place-

Knock, Knock. Peyton got up from her artwork to answer the door.

"Oh my god Peyton, I've done something totally horrible!" Brooke explained rushing into the house.

"Come in," Peyton said sarcastically.

"I'm serious Peyton I need to talk to you, I screwed up bad." Brooke exclaimed tears welling in her eyes.

"Wuts up?" Peyton asked motioning for her friend to sit down on the couch. Brooke only cried when something was seriously wrong, or she thought there was something seriously wrong.

"Well first off I'd better tell you that I," Brooke was full out crying now and had to take a second to recompose herself. "Here's the deal, I'm pregnant, and I told Luke that and I told him it was his baby, but..."

"But what, Brooke? If you say it's not his baby..."

"But it's not his baby," Brooke finished. "He said he'd come back to Tree Hill today. He said that he wasn't gunna make me do this alone" Brooke sobbed.

"Of course he did. If he thinks it's his baby he'd do anything for it. This is Lucas we're talking about." Peyton stated, "I can't believe you told him that. He left Tree Hill to start over and leave behind all the drama. I don't think this is exactly what he planned." Peyton finished.

"I know," Brooke sobbed, "but if Luke thinks it's his child he'll be the best dad ever and he'll do everything he can to help me. Peyton I don't want to do this alone." Brooke said her head falling onto Peyton's shoulder. Peyton just sat there not knowing what to do. She knew trying to reason with Brooke right now would be pointless but she also knew that Lucas had to know the truth; he couldn't just be strung along for the ride. Why now? She asked herself. Why? When things were just starting to look good.

-The Café-

"Haley we should start to loc... Lucas your back?" Karen exclaimed running towards her son and embracing him in a bear hug.

"Hey mom," Lucas replied, "Um... I need air mom," Lucas reminded his mother.

"Oh sorry, hunny," she told him and released him from her grasp. "When did you get back?" she asked him.

"About, what, forty-five minutes ago," he said, "Haley bombarded me when I came here and we ended up just eating and talking for a while." He told her hopping she wouldn't be mad that he hadn't seen her first.

"Ok," Karen said, "so are you staying with me or are you livin on your own here too?" she asked him.

"If I can I would love to stay with you mom." Lucas told her.

"Of course you can Luke," she said taking him in her arms again, "You're my son." She exclaimed. "Well we'd better lock up and then you can walk Hales home."

"Sounds good," Haley said looking at Lucas who nodded his head in agreement.

Fifteen Minutes Later

-Outside the Café-

"So are you living with Nathan or your parents?" Lucas asked Haley, wondering where they were headed.

"I haven't moved in with Nathan yet but I'm staying there tonight," Haley told him. "So we've been best friends since what second grade? Wuts the deal Luke?" She asked him. "Something is wrong I can tell. You wouldn't just come back for no reason." She explained to him. It was a dark night and they were walking side by side towards Nathan's apartment.

"Do you promise not to tell," Luke asked her.

"What are we fourth graders?" She looks over at Luke to see him glaring at her, "Yes I promise." She says "Geeze calm down."

"Well, last night Brooke called me in Charleston and she told me that she was pregnant." Luke told her.

"Oh!" Haley said, "that's a pretty good reason to come back," she said.

"Pretty good, what would be better?" he asked her.

"Well if I was in a coma and gunna die... but we're getting off topic here." She babbled. "Does anyone know?" she asked him.

"Just me, you, and Brooke." He said, "Unless she's told someone else, which if her and Peyton are friends again she probably has."

"Wow!" Haley said. They reached Nathan's apartment complex and Haley asked, "Are you gunna be ok?"

"Yah I'll be fine, I'm gunna go see Brooke tonight," he said.

"Ok," she said. Haley leaned over and hugged Lucas, "Nathan and I are here if you need anything." She assured him.

"Thanks." He said. With that Haley let go of him and walked up the stairs and into the apartment.
