One week earlier.
Haley woke up to the sound of traffic passing on the street below her. Sometimes she really hated living in New York. She glanced at her clock and saw the green glow read. 07:21. 'oh geez' Haley groaned, the first time in a month she didn't have to get up at the crack of dawn she had woken up all by herself. "I hate routine." She muttered to herself.
After the necessary stretching and groaning, Haley jumped into the shower and got cleaned up. When she re-emerged from the comfort of a steaming hot bathroom Haley could hear the distinct sound of 'Spider man' coming from her living room. She quickly dressed and made her way there.
"Morning sweetie" She mumbled wrapping her arms around the small body of her son, giving him a tight hug.
"Mornen mommy." Was the voice that replied to her while giving her an equally tight hug.
"What would you like for breakfast?" Haley asked turning down the TV a bit.
"Mc donlds" He screamed standing up with a little help from the couch.
Haley just laughed at the boy in front of her. He always wanted Mc Donald's. "No. Would you like some pancakes?" Haley saw a huge grin appear on Michael's face while he nodded before turning his attention back to the TV.
As Haley made her way to the kitchen she tried not to think of who first owned that grin. She wouldn't allow herself to go back to the way she was before she had Michael. She couldn't. For her son's sake.
After she had finished washing the breakfast dishes, Haley went to change for work. She loved her job. But sometimes it was hard seeing all the sick children brought into the hospital. It made her even more grateful that Michael was a healthy young boy.
She had just finished changing when the door bell rang. "Mommy ant mara is hewe." Haley made her way to the door and let her sister and nephew in.
"Hey Maria, hello Senin." Haley greeted them both. Haley was so lucky to have such a supportive sister. Marie was five years older than Haley but Haley got on more with her than her other sisters. Maria was married three and a half years and had a three year old son and another on the way. Since Maria was on maternity leave she offered to look after Michael while Haley was at the hospital.
"Hey you know it would make more sense for me to have my own key than to keeping ringing the bell all the time." Maria said not so subtlety. Haley smiled at her sister while shaking her head.
"I'm off to work; I'll be home at eight. Try not to break anything." Haley said giving Michael a kiss on the check and leaving.
"Lucas, come on. Lets go for a walk." Brooke whined, she had been awake for the past hour and she had still not managed to get him to take her shopping.
"Brooke, it's like ten in the morning and we didn't get to sleep till six. Just give me a few more hours." Lucas stammered while turning onto his back to see his girlfriend.
Brooke pouted at his reply. "Are you saying you didn't like all the fun we had last night." She whispered seductively into his ear. Lucas groaned at her, knowing she was only playing he pulled the covers up over his head and turned away from her.
"I just need more sleep if I want to be energetic for the fun were going to have tonight." Lucas smirked when he felt the weight of her body leave the bed.
"I'll be back in two hours. You get some sleep." She answered giving him a quick kiss and then leaving their hotel room.
Brooke stepped into the lobby of the hotel and noticed Nathan on the couch reading the sports section of the 'New York Times'. Brooke sat down beside him grabbing the paper from him. "Do you want to come shopping with me?"
Nathan didn't even look at his brother's girlfriend while he took the paper back. "No."
"Oh come on, I have to go an my own?" Brooke whinged. "I really don't want to go shopping in New York on my own."
"Brooke you don't have to go on your own. You could ask..." Brooke cut Nathan off mid-sentence. "No you're right I think I'll go on my own." She stood up and was walking towards the door.
"Brooke, just ask her. She probably wants to go shopping as much as you do." Nathan said trying to convince Brooke. But Brooke pretended she couldn't hear him and kept walking out the door. Nathan shook his head and watched Brooke leave.
Walking down the street Brooke was admiring all the people who were rushing around in a scurried fashion. She noticed a familiar brunette across the street. Taking a second look Brooke stopped walking. 'Haley?... no it couldn't be her.' Brooke thought to herself taking an even closer look.
"Oh my God. It is." Brooke said to herself which earned her a few weird looks from passers by. "Haley!" Brooke screamed at the top of her voice.
Haley turned her head hearing her name being called out. Seeing nobody she again started walking.
"HALEY!!!" Brooke screamed again while waving her hand around in the air trying to get the girls attention.
Haley stopped walking a looked a behind her and then across the street scanning the people for somebody she knew. 'Oh my god. Is that...?' Haley couldn't believe her eyes. It couldn't be Brooke Davis standing across the street. Brooke smiled at her and waved for her to come to her.
Haley crossed the street not taking her eyes off of Brooke. "Davis is that you?" Haley said smiling.
"Tutor girl. Where the hell did you disappear too?" Brooke asked while giving Haley a friendly hug.
Pulling away from the embrace, Haley gave Brooke a confused look. "Here! I've been here for the past two years." Brooke ignored the hostile tone Haley spoke in. "Do you want to go get a coffee?"
Haley didn't even know why she was acting like this. Brooke was always nice to her. Well ... never really really bitchy. Haley looked at her watch and smiled at Brooke. "Yeah sure why not. I've got a half an hour before work."
The two girls got the small chit chat out of the way on the way to the café. Now they were talking like they were back in high school. Talking about everything, Haley's work at the hospital, where the best night clubs were, school... but making sure to avoid some lines of questioning.
Brooke broke that unspoken rule on the way out of the café. "So, James, have anyone special in your life?" Brooke asked with raised eyebrows. Haley looked at Brooke not knowing if she was kidding around.
As Haley walked away she turned back to the former cheerleader. "Yes I do have someone special. His name is Michael." And with that Haley was gone.
Brooke didn't know why Haley said the last bit with a bitchy tone. Maybe she didn't want to talk about it. Suddenly Brooke wasn't in the mood for shopping, she just wanted to get back to the hotel and see if Lucas knew anything.
Brooke walked into the big lobby hoping not to see Nathan still there. Brooke didn't want to lie to him. They became friends after Haley left and Lucas and her got back together. She didn't want to ruin that by lying to him.
Luckily he wasn't there. Brooke hurried up the stairs to her floor and when she entered her room she saw that Lucas hadn't moved at all. "Hey, I'm back." she said throwing herself onto the bed.
"Ugh hugh" was the only reply that she received from the blonde. Brooke got off the bed and went to her suitcase making sure to make as much noise as humanly possible.
Lucas sat up on the bed and ran his hand through his hair. "I'm up. I'm up." Brooke went over and sat on the edge of the bed. Lucas crawled to the end of the bed and encircled her waist with his arms.
"When was the last time you talked to Haley?" Brooke question was met with silence. After a minute of thinking Lucas couldn't think of a possible reason for Brooke to ask about Haley.
"The last time we talked? That was just before she up and left." Lucas said. He leaned his head on Brooke's shoulder. "Why are you asking?" Brooke took a deep breath and answered him.
"I just saw her." It took Lucas a second to realize what Brooke had just said.
"You just saw her! She's in New York?" Lucas shouted getting off the bed and standing in front of her. "I guess so. We went for coffee and chatted for a bit." Lucas stood in front of Brooke in disbelief. He ran his hand through his hair trying to process everything.
Lucas sat down beside Brooke on the bed. "Should we tell Nathan?" Brooke asked him. "Yeah. I'll go tell him." Lucas stood up and put on his sweat pants and a shirt.
"She has a boyfriend." Lucas looked at his girlfriend. "How do you know that?" he asked grabbing his jacket. "She told me she has someone special." Lucas bowed his head in defeat.
Lucas walked out of his hotel room to go and find Nathan. This wasn't going to be fun. The four of them had come down to New York to have fun. Lucas came to Nathan's room and knocked. 'Here we go.'
