Chapter 8: Awaiting News and A Proposal

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(Brooke's Hotel Room)

The walk back to the bathroom seemed to take forever for Brooke. Her insides were turning inside out because she was so nervous. This could change the rest of her life. Then there was the fact that Lucas would be the father and going through telling him and not wanting him there cause she wanted to finish her career. Whatever happened she knew what she needed to do. The small stick sat on the counter, awaiting her to pick it up. Time seemed to stand still as she took the last few steps. She took a deep breath and picked it up.

(Boston- Peyton and Jake's House)

The phone rang in the distance, waking up Peyton. Peyton rolled over and sat up. Jake just mumbled something she couldn't understand and turned back over.

"That's alright Jake, don't move I'll get it" she muttered sarcastically

She looked at the Caller Id and smiled. She had been expecting his call.

"Hello?"

"Peyton? It's Luke. I need your help"

Another smile formed at her lips. "With what?" she asked

"I need to know where Brooke is. I made a mistake and I don't want to lose her again"

"Luke, i don't know. She's already been through so much, how do I know that you won't hurt her again?" She demanded

"It took me seeing and touching her again to realize that I could loose her again. Do you know where she is?"

Peyton had tears in her eyes

"Peyton? please"

"Luke, we haven't heard from Brooke since she left Haley's place"

"Do you think Haley knows?"

"Why don't you call her?"

"Yeah, okay. Bye Peyton"

Before she could say bye, she heard the dial phone ring in her ear.

(Tree Hill, NC)

Haley sat at her computer, her hair in a messy ponytail and a pencil stuck behind her ear. She was finishing up her newest novel and was stuck on a scene.

"Lorraine sat in the window seat, the rain beating along the side of the house. Another flash of lightning and she saw a car pull up. She stood up and pressed herself up against the window, wondering who it was. Her husband was gone for the night, a buisness trip in New York. The stranger got out and looked up at the house. Her heart started beating faster when she realized who it was. She got up and ran outside in the pouring ran. The two met in passionate kiss and Lorraine felt her heart explode with happiness"

She didn't know what she wanted to happen next. Should Lorraine and the stranger go inside or should she tell him that she loves her husband and couldn't do that to him. Much like in the story, it was raining pretty hard outside. The streets were deserted except for the occasional car trying to get inside before it hit pretty bad. The weather channel said it was supposed to be a category 4 hurricane. Haley looked around the empty house and sighed. Parker was away in New Jersey for a buisness trip and Haley was by herself. He had called, wanting to know if she was okay by herself or if she wanted him to come home. She looked outside and felt her heart flutter. A yellow cab had pulled out and a man had just gotten out. He paid the man and stood outside the lawn, wondering if he should be there at all. Haley didn't think twice when she got up and ran outside. She ran to him and threw her arms around his shoulders.

"Nate, what are you doing here?" she whispered

"I left something here that I shouldn't have, and I've come back to get it"

"Nathan, I'm getting married"

"Hales, I love you. I always have. I was scared whenIwent to play ball. I was scared that you hated me and that I would never see you again. When I found out that you had a fiance, I had to let go. But, I can't forget that night we had. It was so amazing, just being able to hold you in my arms again. I want that, I want you"

"Nate, I love you but I already let you have my heart once and it didn't work out. Yes I had an amazing time with you that night but that was only one night. How do I know that you won't leave me again?"

"Haley, give me a chance. Please" He lifted her chin up so he could kiss her and all Haley felt was pure happiness.

Nathan pulled something out of his pocket and got down on one knee. He held her hand and said, "Haley will you marry me?"

(Brooke's Hotel Room)

Brooke glanced at the test in her hands and felt a few tears drop down her cheeks. She dropped down against the counter on the floor, and hugged her knees to her chest.

"Brooke?" She heard Alexis's voice in the distance, calling her name

Her agent appeared in the doorway and took one look at her and said, "Honey, what's wrong?"

Brooke held out the pregnancy test to her and Alexis glanced at it

"Honey, it's negative"

"I know"

"Then why are you crying?"

"I know I should be happy that's I'm not, but I was kind of hoping that I was. Maybe it would bring Lucas back to me and we could finally be together"

"Lucas? Is he that guy you were telling me about that you went to high school with?"

Brooke nodded and said, "Well, he was at my friends reunion party. We all got really drunk. He and I left together and came back to my hotel room. We kind of..."

"Did you guys talk about what happened in the morning?"

She shook her head. "No, I left him there and met you at the airport. I haven't talked to him since"

"I really think you guys need to talk"

Alexis walked over and handed over Brooke's cell phone. "Call him, you'll feel better"

"I don't know if I can. We've been through so much and I don't even know if he still loves me"

"Then you'll have to take a chance"

(LA- Lucas and Nathan's Apartment)

Lucas paced around his room with the phone on speaker phone

"This is Haley and Parker, leave us a message and we'll get back to you"

"Hales, it's Luke again. I really need to talk to you. Call me back as soon as you get this. It's important"

He hung up the phone and walked toward the kitchen. The apartment was eerily to think of it, he hadn't seen Nathan in awhile. He noticed a white sheet of paper with his name on it on the counter.

Luke,

I'm taking your advice and taking my chance. I'll call you as soon as I get there.

Nate

At least somebody is getting somewhere, he thought.
