Disclaimer: No I do not own One Tree Hill, or any of its characters. If I did, things wouldn't be going the way they are, and it would look like this:
"Who is that?" Lucas asked.
"I don't know. Maybe she's new. I'm gonna go introduce myself." Brooke bounded up to the new girl. "Hey! Mine names Brooke. Are you new here?" she asked as she held out her hand.
"Uh, yea. I am. I'm Tessa."
"Where are you going next?"
"Biology..."
"Great! Me too! Let's go!" Brooke said as they walked to Biology Brook talking a mile a minute. Lucas watched her the whole time. He knew he loved her. I don't want her to move. What if I never see her again? Lucas thought. He shook himself of that thought, and followed Brooke to Biology.
Class started and Lucas just stared at Brooke. If he could just hold her. If he could just kiss her. Then maybe she'd see how much he really did miss her. Lucas raised his hand. "Yes Lucas?" Mr. Almid asked.
"Uh, can I...use...the...lav?" Lucas asked, just wanting to get out of the classroom away from Brooke who was like a drug that he needed but knew he couldn't have.
"Sure." Lucas got out of his seat and left the class room. He walked away from the door, and leaned against the blue lockers. He heard a door open on his left, and was surprised to see Brook step out of their Biology classroom.
"So Broody watcha doin' out here?" Brooke questioned him.
"Ah, nothing." Lucas said evasively, not knowing himself. He looked into her brown eyes, and she looked into his. He slowly leaned closer to her, and she came the rest of the way, meeting in the middle for a kiss. Lucas pulled away, much to Brooke's disappointment. "Look, I'm sorry Brooke, I know you just wanted to be friends." Luke apologized.
"Don't," Brooke said covering his mouth with her hand. "I was so hurt when you cheated on me," Brookes's voice quivered, remembering the pain he caused her. "But I don't think I ever stopped loving you. I think about you all the time. You've been here always. I want to stay here, with you," she said. And not waiting for a response she kissed him again. Neither one of them stopped.
"Hey Haley," Chris said as he walked into her dressing room.
"Hey," Haley replied.
"So, Michelle and Jessica want us to practice our duet tonight. They said that you were alittle off last night." Chris said.
"Man! Nathan and I were going to go out to dinner tonight!" Haley told him.
"Well then, looks like you'll have to change your plans. Why is he here? He shouldn't be. You're fine here," Chris whispered as he leaned in and kissed her.
Whoa! Haley thought. She drew her head back and shoved him away from her. "What are you doing?" Haley asked, confused.
"What does it look like, Girlie?" Chis retorted as he grabbed her arms and kissed her again. Chris felt a hand on his shoulder, pulling him off of Haley, and felt the blow followed by blood trickling down his face. Chris stumbled backwards, tripped on something, and fell to the floor.
"NATHAN!" Haley yelled, "OH MY GOD! Thank you! ...Oh no! It's not what it looked like! I don't like Chris! He came onto me! I would never do anything to hurt you Nathan! You have to believe me!" Haley begged him.
"I know Haley. I saw it. I love you, and I wouldn't let him hurt you," Nathan reassured her.
He said that he loves me! Haley thought happily, as tears slid down her cheeks for the second time that day. She couldn't hold them back, she was so relieved. She slowly turned around to see Chris regaining his consciousness, and he didn't look happy.
No, no, no, no, no! Was all that swirreled around Chris' head. Haley will be mine. He can't ruin it. He couldn't see properly, but he could make out the figure of the person that hit him. With all his might he lunged toward Nathan, knocking him to the ground. Chris started punching Nathan anywhere he could and Nathan did the same. Chris however, wasn't as strong as Nathan and he soon had Chris pinned to the ground. He vaguely heard Haley screaming, and felt someone pulling him off Chris.
Nathan looked dazed with cuts and bruised and Chris looked worse. Oh Nathan. I love you so much! God! I can't believe Chris! I can't believe I ever kissed him, or felt anything for him! He's such a jerk! Haley thought as she rushed to her husband and touched the cut above his right eye. He winced in pain. Chris was coming to again, and she walked over to him. "Stay away from me. Don't come near me, ever!" She warned him. Then the security guard, Tom, took Chris back to his room. "C'mon," Haley said to Nathan, "Let's get you cleaned up." She rummaged around in the room and found some bandages. She went to got look for ice, and Nathan went with her, not trusting Chris to let her go alone.
"Peyton, the only way I can make sure that Nikki doesn't get Jenny is throught a court," Jake said.
"Yeah, but what if they decide that Nikki should have a chance to be a mom? You told me before that the court usually sides with the mom anyways. And I can't affored to lose either her or you," Peyton replied.
"I know. But I need to get Nikki away from Jenny. Besides I think there's a way to show the court that Nikki's not a suitable mother."
"Oh yeah? How?" Peyton asked eagerly.
"Well, before, when we going out she used some drugs. Cocaine. And I knew what she was like afterwards, although I never used it." Peyton hung her head in shame. Jake continued, "Last night, when she showed up again to try and take Jenny it seemed like she had been using it again. I don't know for sure, but if we can prove that she was using it, then I know I can keep Jenny!"
"How are we going to prove that?" Peyton asked.
"I'm not completely sure...But we could sneak into wherever she's staying and see. Then we can go to the police and tell them. I'm sure they'll handle it from there." Jake told her.
"Why do we have to go to sneak into her house first? We don't we just go to the police first?"
"Because, I don't want Nikki to be able to prove that I'm nervous that she might have any chance of keeping Jenny. Becasue then they'll think that she might be a good mother, when we all know that she's not. She didn't even care for her! It's not fair!" Jake yelled, thinking of how Jenny might be taken away from him. Peyton didn't fully comprehend why they couldn't go to the police, but she didn't argue. How could he aford to make mistakes when Jenny might be taken away from him.
