"What the hell is going on?" Nathan Scott asked with shock and anger evident on his face.

"Nathan. Nothing, it was nothing." Haley James Scott said jumping up, walking towards her husband.

"Really? Cause it looked like you were making out with my brother." Nathan said with venom in his voice.

"Nathan it wasn't anything like that." Lucas Scott said trying to calm down his younger brother.

"Lucas stop acting like I don't have eyes, and just save it." Nathan said walking outside of his apartment.

"Nathan wait." Haley said running after him.

"Haley there is nothing that I have to say to you. And there is nothing that you have to say to me." Nathan said in a cold tone.

"Nathan at least give me a chance to explain." Haley said practically begging.

"You don't have to. I saw everything. Yes everything. I saw you fling yourself at Luke because you were "confused" and I saw him turn you down. But you didn't stop! Why didn't you stop?" Nathan said with a tear in his eye.

"Nathan, I never meant to hurt you, I was just confused, Luke and I have been friends for so long and I thought that I was in love with him, but I wasn't. I'm in love with you."

"That's great. But you should have thought of that before you shoved your tongue down Luke's throat. Just go Haley." Nathan said turning his back to her.

"I'm so sorry." She said leaving.

"Sorry doesn't always cover it." Nathan whispered with a sigh.

"Hey man. I just tried to call your cell. I'm so sorry. I swear I tried to stop her but." Lucas said trying to explain the bizzare events that had just taken place.

"Don't worry about it." Nathan said flopping down on the couch.

"Excuse me? You just caught me making out with you wife. And all you can say it 'Don't worry about it'? Are you feeling alright?" Lucas asked with some concern.

"Look you turned her down. There's not much else you could have down. Plus it's not worth fighting over a girl. Look what it did to Peyton and Brooke. I just got a brother. I don't wanna lose him." Nathan said starring at the TV.

"I know what you mean. Before I don't think I would have been able to turn Haley away. But everytime I look at her I see you." Lucas said revealing something he hadn't told anyone.

"Ewww, so when you were making out with her, you were actually making out with me?" Nathan said with a laugh.

"Ugh grow up!" Lucas said rolling his eyes." But you're really okay?"

"No I just lost my wife." Nathan said with a sigh, the realization of the situation setting in. "It's gonna take a while but I'll get over her."

"Take your time. You'll find another girl. In the meantime I'm going to bed." Lucas said. "Try not to think about it."

"Yeah okay." Nathan scoffed. "I'll do that."

Since Lucas decided that Charleston wasn't the place for him, he came back to Tree Hill only to find that his mom had left and moved to Itlay. With Lucas gone there was nothing keeping her in that town, so she had left. Lucas was upset but knew that her mom deserved to have a life. He refused to let her move back into a town that held so many bad memories, so he decided to live with his brother. He had moved in a month ago and the rest was history.

Author's Note: I know that some of you are going "Nathan would never be that calm towards Lucas", but I love their brotherly relationship, yet at the same time I needed Haley to cheat with someone believable. So I figured I'd write Nathan in a forgiving mood. : ) Also, I have nothing against Karen, but I wanted Nathan and Lucas to get closer and what better way for them to get closer, but for them to live together. Review please!
