"Woah there slow down." Keith said as a young girl ran into him at full force knocking the wind out of him.

"Haley? What's wrong? What happened?" Keith questioned as he realized the identity of the young girl who was crying silently.

"Keith? Oh I'm so sorry I didn't mean to, things are just happening so fast right now and I feel like I can't catch up." She started to explain faster than either of them could process.

"Hey let's go sit down and you can tell me what's wrong okay?" Keith replied leading Haley as she nodded to a bench near the riverside.

"Now, tell me what's going on and start from the beginning."

"Well Luke told me that he had HCM and was afraid that I was going to leave him but I promised that I would never do that but now I just did and I don't know what I'm going to do because I love him, oh god do I love him and it scares me so much I mean I love him so much that it hurt to be away while I was on tour, I mean I missed Nathan as well but I couldn't stand it when I couldn't hear Luke's voice or hug him. And now he JUST told me about when they thought Brooke was pregnant and it hurts because he didn't bother to tell me sooner which makes me question on if he was ever going to tell me." she was about to continue when she saw the look on Keith's face.

"What?"

"It's just you were about to turn red from lack of oxygen, and I know exactly how you are feeling and how Lucas is feeling." He explained with a smirk.

"What do you mean?"

"Well I know how you are feeling because I figured Karen would never tell me about being pregnant even though I already knew I waited for her to tell me. And then last year when she told me about Dan wanting partial custody of Lucas that changed my opinion of a lot of things that my brother did."

"And how do you know what Lucas is feeling?"

"Because I was Lucas back then. I was in love with the girl who was in love with my younger brother. There was no way I could ever compete with Dan I knew I just had to wait for Karen to figure out who was the better Scott brother. The only difference now is that both of your Scott brothers are good and not evil and that Lucas didn't have to wait as long as I did for the girl's love because I'm still waiting." He explained a sad smile crossing his face.

"Haley listen to me, I know Lucas and I know you, you guess will be able to survive anything that comes at you. I mean you guys have been friends since you guys were what 7? Think of this as a taste of what's to come but with you two together this will be nothing."

"Thanks Keith, I know Karen loves you, she just, well she is just to damn stubborn to look." Haley said drying her tears laughing.

"You're welcome Haley, anytime you need to talk just come on over." He replied pulling her into a fatherly hug as she hugged him in return.

"Well I have to go and find Luke thanks again Keith." Haley said getting up and walking away.

"Anytime Haley, and thank you too." He replied quietly getting up and heading towards Karen's Café.
