Chapter 2: Lots of Talks

The next day…

Haley and Nathan were standing at their lockers when Brooke walked up.

"Hey tutor wife, can I talk to you?" she asked.

"Sure," Haley replied. Lucas walked up to them.

"Nathan, can I talk to you?" he asked.

"Yeah, sure," Nathan answered.

"Okay, let's go somewhere else." Lucas and Nathan walked away leaving Haley and Brooke alone at Haley's locker.

"What's up, Brooke?" Haley asked. Brooke looked like she was unsure of herself.

"I ended things with Felix," Brooke started.

"That's good, you deserve better."

"There's more."

"Okay, what is it?"

"I think I like Lucas," Brooke stated quickly.

"WHAT?" Haley almost yelled.

"Ssshhh" Brooke quieted her.

"Sorry, but I thought you pretty much hated him?"

"He drove me home after the dance and he brought me out to breakfast. He was really sweet, and it felt like there was something there."

"Really?" Haley asked, not believing what Brooke had just told her.

"Yeah, but I don't know what to do. I don't want to get hurt again, and I don't know if I can trust him yet."

"I'd say to just give it time, ask him how he feels."

"But I already know how he feels, he likes Anna."

"He might like Anna, but he also might like you instead, you never know for sure."

"I wonder what he and Nathan are talking about," Brooke said as she and Haley started to walk to class.

Meanwhile, Nathan and Lucas are walking to class.

"So what did you want to talk about?" Nathan asked.

"I don't think I like Anna," Lucas said.

"Really, cause I figured that out a while ago?" Nathan said.

"What?"

"I knew you didn't like her, I can tell that you like Brooke."

"How do you know?"

"The way you are around Brooke and Anna is different, it just seems like you still have feelings for her."

"Why didn't you tell me that sooner? I just figured it out yesterday. What should I do?"

"You might want to tell Anna before she gets too attached, then tell Brooke."

"There is no way Brooke would ever consider getting back together, we just started to be friends again, and I cheated on her when we were dating."

"You never know, she might feel the same way."

"I guess I'll talk to Anna after school."

"What about Brooke?"

"I'll give that time."

Later that night…..

Haley and Nathan were at their apartment eating dinner.

"So what did Lucas want to talk to you about this morning?" Haley asked Nathan.

"What did Brooke want to talk to you about?"

"I asked you first," Haley retorted.

"Fine, he said that he still likes Brooke, but he doesn't think she will ever want to be with him again."

"Oh, why not?" she asked.

"Because he cheated on her and he doesn't think she will ever trust him again, I told him to give it time and she may eventually like him too."

"Well, eventually may be sometime soon," Haley said with a smirk.

"Why, what do you know?" Nathan asked confused.

"Brooke told me that she still likes Lucas, but she seemed scared. I told her to give it time and ask him how he feels."

"That seems ironic, I hope they work it out."

"Yeah, me too. They were so cute when they were together," Haley said, she was starting to look a little pale.

"Hales, are you okay? You look a little pale?" Nathan asked concerned.

"Yeah, I just have a headache. I think I'm going to go to bed."

"Okay, I'll be there in a little while, I'm just going to do the dishes first."

"Okay, goodnight," she said walking over to give him a hug. He kissed her on the forehead.

"Goodnight, I love you."

"I love you too," she said as she walked into her bedroom. Something didn't feel right, she didn't seem to be herself.

At Brooke's House….

She was sitting on her bed listening to music when there was a knock on her door. She opened it to see Felix standing there.

"I thought I told you we were done?" Brooke said annoyed that he was still bugging her.

"Yeah, you did, but I don't just want to be friends with benefits Brooke, I want to be with you."

"But I don't want to be with you. You're arrogant and a liar," she retorted.

"I can change, I like you Brooke, I care about you."

"Well I don't care. There is someone else anyways, so I suggest you leave now." She slammed the door in his face. She picked up the phone and called Peyton.

"Hello?" Peyton answered.

"Hey, P. Sawyer. What are you doing now?" Brooke asked.

"Nothing, just drawing. What are you doing?"

"Nothing, Felix just left."

"I thought you were done benefiting with him. You deserve so much better than that."

"I know, I ended that after the formal, but he won't leave me alone. He keeps calling me and coming over saying that he cares about me and wants to be with me. I don't buy it though."

"That's good. He's an ass."

"I know, but I have a question for you," Brooke said worriedly.

"What is it?"

"Do you still have feelings for Lucas?"

"No, why would you ask?"

"You have no feelings for him at all?"

"No, I moved on," Peyton said confused.

"You're sure?"

"Yes I am sure, what is going on?"

"I think I still like Lucas," Brooke said in one breath.

"What?! I thought you hated him."

"I did, but he has been really sweet lately and every time I'm with him I just feel like there is something there."

"Than I say go for it, he probably feels it too. Ask him."

"But he is with Anna, he would just say no."

"They aren't dating yet, talk to him before it is too late."

"You're right, I will maybe. You're sure you don't still like him?"

"YES!"

"Okay, just checking."
