A week had past by and everything was great. Brooke, Haley, and Nathan went to school every day and than Haley and Brooke would go to cheering practice and Nathan to basketball. On the days Haley worked Brooke would hang around all day and than Nathan would come and they would all eat dinner on her break. On the days Haley didn't work Haley was with Brooke at either one of their empty houses. Each night had been spent either at Brooke's or Haley's both of them staying over at eachother's houses. Even though things were going great Brooke and Nathan could tell Haley missed Lucas, and Nathan and Haley both knew that Brooke was disappointed in Peyton for betraying her trust. Brooke was not on speaking terms with Peyton and she didn't think she would talk to her for a while, Haley and Lucas had exchanged "heys" but that was about it. It was now Friday morning and Haley was at the cafe because she didn't feel like cooking, Brooke and Nathan were in the back while one of the waitresses were trying to teach them how to make pancakes and Karen and Haley were watching in amusement. Karen had noticed a very positive change in Haley, but she also knew that both Lucas and Haley missed eachother dearly.

"So are you excited about this weekend" Karen asks Haley referring to the game they get to go to in Charlotte while the girls also have a cheering competition, they were leaving at 12 noon today and not coming back until Sunday night, Karen was chaperoning with Keith and they were barely speaking with eachother

"Yea IM really excited"

"Well, that's great Hales I cant wait to see you girls dancing. But I've been meaning to talk to you about something."

"Is everything okay"

"Yah everything's great including you."

"Huh"

"I have seen you come in hear everyday for the past week with a great big smile on your face. And it's not one of those fake IM just doing this to get a good tip smiles either." Haley smiles and glances at Brooke looking at her girlfriend with flour all over her and has to smile bigger "See there it is again. Now I don't know what's got you smiling little Miss Haley James but I do know that IM happy for you and I want to continue seeing this smile."

"Thanks Kar"

"But theres one more thing that I know will not only make your smile brighter but also Lucas's" Haley sighs "Look I know you two got into some argument but don't let one silly fight change your friendship of 12 years."

"I know"
"I'm not saying forgive him right away but don't let this fight last forever OK Hales"

"OK. Deal."

"Allright than now lets get some breakfast"

They eat breakfast and Nathan heads off to his house to pack. Haley and Brooke decide to go to Haley's house and just relax until Nathan picks them up since their already packed. They had ended up in Haley's Jacuzzi both in their bikini's just incase Nathan comes earlier even though they had a good 4 hours till Nathan came over. Brooke was giving Haley a massage.

"Baby your really tense"

"I know" she sighs

"What's wrong"

"I just feel like IM kind of lying to the people I love."

"Who are"

"Karen mostly I just I feel as if shes my mother and I don't feel right lying to her."

"Well, what do you think your lying to her about"

"Us"

"Oh"

"It's just that I've never really kept secrets from her before you know? And I don't want to start now."

"Well, If you really feel strong about this than why not tell her." Haley looks up shocked "What? Your my girlfriend and I want you to be happy and if you are ready and want to tell her than why the hell not. Karen's not going to tell anyone. Also it's not like were going to keep this a secret forever."

"True" tears start to stream down Haley's face

"What's wrong baby"

"IM just glad to have my girlfriend be so sweet and understanding. Thank you" Brooke turns Haley around and wipes her tears away with her thump she removes the top part of her bikini and gets into Haley's lap, she unties Haley's bikini top and pushes her so she is leaning back. She starts to trail butterfly kisses from her jawbone down to her breasts, and than down to her stomach. She uses her hands and starts to caress Haley's breast while she sucks Haley's upper lip with her bottom one. They hadn't done anything waist down yet and Brooke knew that Haley wasn't ready so when Haley had brought it up Brooke just claimed that she had to perfect her upper body techniques before moving on to the lower body, Haley liked her even more for that if it was possible Brooke was so understanding. Brooke moved her mouth back down to Haley's breasts and started to lick around her nipples gently sucking her breasts, while Haley moaned. They spent the rest of the morning like that and than had went and showered and left the house with Nathan. Whitey let Brooke and Haley ride down to Charlotte with Nathan in his new mustang. They had got to the hotel and were all assigned rooms Haley with Theresa which adjoined rooms with Tim and Jake, Peyton with Brooke, which adjoined rooms with Nathan and Lucas. Brooke was furious she was not about to spend the weekend with her ex best friend in the same room as her and her girlfriend in another room with Theresa and Tim with the adjoining room. So she had gone to Karen and Karen had agreed to let Haley and Peyton switch rooms. So now Peyton was with Theresa and Brooke and Haley were together with Lucas and Nathan in the adjoining room. Everyone had gone off into their own directions and the only ones in their rooms were Haley and Brooke and Haley was pacing the room she was very nervous about speaking with Karen. They were going to go to her room and tell her in a few minutes.

"Hales baby your making me dizzy. Can you just relax."

"Oh right sorry" she sits down and someone knocks on their door and Haley shoots right back up as Brooke laughs at her crazy girlfriend. Haley opens the door and sees none other than Karen.

"Better now than ever" Brooke mutters

"Hey girls just wanted to see if everything was okay."

"Yah great thanks for letting Peyton and I switch rooms."

"I don't think anyone would have said no to Brooke at that moment" Brooke smiles and Karen looks over at Haley skeptically "Haley why are you nervous"

"Well..."

"We kind of have to tell you something" Brooke says as Karen sits down

"Well you see... Brooke and I are.."she pauses and Brooke grabs her hand and squeezes it "Brooke and I are dating" Karen looks at them and noone says a word for about a minute

"So you two are like girlfriend/girlfriend"

"Yah" they say in unison as Karen breaks into a smile and gets up

"Well IM happy for you two than"

"Really" they say in unison
"Yes, of coarse. Brooke I think your a great girl and if anyone deserves Haley its you, and that's saying something. Hales you know no matter what you do I will support you." Haley smiles big and hugs Karen tight

"I love you" she whispers into Karen's ear she lets go and Brooke hugs her

"Thank you. You don't know how much that means to me." She whispers into Karen's ear and she lets go grabbing Haley's hand again, Karen leaves the room and Nathan comes in and they all spend the rest of the day just hanging out until game time. They go to the basketball game and the crowd was going crazy Ravens won by 30 points Nathan making the winning shot. They all went to the cheering competition after and the Ravens won then again too. Brooke winning best choreographer. Everyone was so happy they all went to an after party at one of the "Bear Creek Warriors" house. Everyone was dancing and having a blast Haley was very drunk and suprisingly Brooke had stayed sober. Haley had left to go to the bathroom. Brooke was in the Kitchen with Nathan, Lucas, Peyton, and a bunch of players from the other team when she looked at her watch and saw that Haley had left to go to the bathroom a little more than 5 minutes ago.

"Do you guys see Haley trying to get through to the kitchen" Brooke asks as Nathan, Lucas, and Peyton all look up, all of them squinting their eyes trying to see Haley

"No I don't" Peyton slurs, she was also drunk

"I don't either" Lucas says, sober

"She's been gone for a while." Nathan says, also sober

"I'm going to go find her" Brooke says, she was starting to get worried she headed upstairs to check the bathroom when she heard a faint scream from one of the rooms. She walked towards the room and realized it was Haley who was screaming, she started to bang on the door and scream. "HALES"

Haley tried to scream "BRO" but the captain of the Bear Creek Warriors had covered her mouth with his hand so she bit him

"Oww you Bitch your going to pay" he says slapping her hard across the face

Meanwhile Nathan and Lucas had followed Brooke and saw her screaming and banging on a door, they ran towards her.

"Brooke what's going on" Nathan asks

"Someone has Haley in there" she says banging harder on the door

"Brooke step back" Lucas says pushing her aside "Nathan you know what to do"
"On three" Nathan says

"1...2...3" they say in unison kicking the door open and seeing a guy on the floor bleeding and Haley standing infront of him with a lamp crying.

"Haley oh my god baby are you okay" Brooke says running in hugging Haley

"He didn't get to do anything. I didnt let him. I didnt mean to hurt him." Haley sobs

"Shh It's okay baby, it's okay it's not your fault" Brooke hugs her tighter and Haley lets go and goes and sits on the bed shaking back and forth. Brooke walks over towards her and hugs her again. Nathan walks towards the guy and picks him up off the floor punching him in the face. Lucas walks towards Haley and Brooke and gives Brooke his sweater.

"She's shivering" Lucas says as Brooke puts it on Haley, Lucas turns around and sees Nathan kicking the guy in the stomach more and more until Luke puts his hand on his shoulder. "It's okay man It's over." Nathan stops kicking the guy and turns around. "Let's get her back to the hotel" Nathan knods and walks towards Haley and Brooke, he looks at Haley and picks her up.

"Come on Hales. Lets get you back to the hotel" Nathan says

"Brooke" she cries, Brooke gets up and grabs Haley's hand as they walk out the door. Nathan carrying Haley in his arms.

By the time they had gotten back to the hotel Haley was safely sleeping in Nathan's arms Brooke holding Haley's hand tightly, Lucas and Peyton trailing behind. Everyone was extremely upset even Peyton in her drunken state. Brooke opened the door to their room and Nathan laid Haley down on one of the beds.

"Can you guys turn around" Brooke said as she went and got Haley some clothes

"What are you doing" asks Lucas recieving a glare from Brooke

"What does it look like I'm going to do Lucas! Im changing her" Nathan turned around

"Im going to go take Peyton to her room" Lucas says

"Whatever" Brooke hissed as he left the room with Peyton, Brooke took off Haleys shoes and than her skirt and changed her into pajama pants she than took off her shirt and gasped and Nathan instantly turned around
"What's wrong"

"She's BLEEDING. Why is she Bleeding" she says tears starting to spill over, Nathan walks towards her and winces as he sees the cuts and bruises all around Haley's neck and breasts.

"It's okay Brooke. It's just a cut and a couple of bruises nothing too bad. I'll go get the first aid kit" he says walking to the bathroom coming back with a first aid kit and handing it to Brooke

"Ok. Well could you lock the door Nate" Nathan knods turning towards the door and locking it while also locking the adjoining door as Brooke takes off Haley's bra and cleans some of her cuts. She finishes tending to her cuts and changes her into a baggy t-shirt. She put blankets on her and sits on the end of the bed. Nathan sat next to her and put a hand on her shoulder. Meanwhile Lucas had made sure Peyton got to her room safely and went back to his moms room. Brooke was still sitting on the bed not saying a word just crying silently and it was scaring Nathan but he was just rubbing her back as someone knocked on the door and Brooke jumped up. She walked over to the door and opened it revealing Karen.

"Brooke is she okay" she asks frantically as Brooke knods her head and Karen hugs her

"Physically she's fine, but it scared her." Brooke says sobbing

"Shh, its okay honey" Karen hugs her tightly as she looks over her head and sees Nathan looking at Haley and brushing a piece of hair of her face, she smiles happy to see so many people care for her Haley. "Brooke" she says sternly "Haley's a strong girl she'll be fine. Dont worry too much."
Brooke releases the hug and smiles.

"Thanks Karen."

"Dont mention it. Now Im going to head back call me if any of you need anything. If not I'll see you guys in the morning"

"Ok we will." Brooke says closing the door and walking back and sitting on the bed next to Haley and Nathan.

"She's like my little sister you know" he looks at her sleeping form "I love her like I would my own" she knods

"Yah of coarse Nate"

"When she first started tutoring me I was scared that she would hurt me if I pulled a prank on Lucas. Thats what drew me to her the fact that she would risk her friendship with Lucas to have him not be hazed. After the first few sessions though we had developed a friendship and since then I just always considered her as a best friend the little sister I never had." she listened as he poored his heart out to her "I just dont want anything to happen to her. And You and I both know that her friendship with Lucas means alot to her. She's missing a part of her without him. You make her happy Brooke, but so do her friends and we both need to sacrifice to see her happy. Because she deserves it. The only thing that stopped me from kicking Lucas's ass when he cheated on you was Haley, that and the fact that you would've gotten mad at me too for Haley's sake." she chuckles "You deserve to be happy too Brooke and I know you miss Peyton and I know what she did was wrong no arguments there, but dont make it seem like your friendship with her will never be fixed. You're a great friend Brooke I should know we've been good friends since babies. Im mad at Peyton for betraying you too because Haley's not the only one I see as a little sister you both are like sister to me and I want to see you both happy. So I think you should atleast have a talk with Peyton Im not sure you two will be friends again maybe not now maybe not forever but I do think you have alot to say to her so get it out of your system Tigger. I want to see you and Haley both happy and safe." she knods tears trickeling down her cheeks as she hugs him

"Thanks Nate" he hugs her back tightly "I want to see you happy and safe too big bro" they smile and release the hug "Take the other bed in here since we both know you're not going to be comfortable in the other room while worrying about Haley and dealing with Lucas." he knods getting off the bed kissing Haley's forehead

"Sleep tight Hales" he kisses Brooke on the cheek "Night Brooke" he strips into his boxers getting into Brooke's bed and sleeping the second his head hit the pillow. Brooke throws on some pajama pants and a wife beater and gets into Haley's bed pulling Haley closer and wrapping her arms around her waist. About an hour later Brooke is still not sleeping and she hears a faint knock on her door. She gets out of bed carefully and answers the door to see Lucas.

"Luke it's 3 AM"

"I know and Im sorry I just needed to make sure Haley was okay."

"Where have you been the past two hours? Nevermind I dont want to know." she glares at him

"No Brooke it's not like that okay? I took Peyton to her room a awhile ago. I just needed to get my head cleared."

"For THREE HOURS"

"Look I know your mad at me" she scoffs "But Haley is my best friend and"

"DONT YOU THINK I KNOW THAT LUCAS! HALEY JUST ALMOST GOT RAPED! AND YOU GO OFF FOR 3 HOURS TO CLEAR YOUR HEAD WHAT KIND OF FUCKED UP IS THAT LUCAS! HOW DO YOU THINK SHE'S GOING TO FEEL TO WAKE UP AND NOT SEE ONE OF HER BEST FRIENDS THERE"

"SHE DOESNT WANT ME TO BE THERE WHEN SHE WAKES UP" his eyes start to water
"Are you crazy Luke? Ofcoarse she does."

"No she doesn't. She hates me. She even told me not to call her Hales she said only her friends are allowed to call her that."

"She didn't mean it, and she doesn't hate you, she's just mad at you."

"Are you sure"

"Yes Im 100 positive."

"Do you hate me" she sighs

"I dont hate you Luke. Im just dissapointed in you. I mean if you or Peyton told me that you had feelings for eachother I would have stepped back and let you two be together. I wouldn't have lost my best friend if you two had just told me the truth. But Im mad at you for lying to me Lucas I mean I thought we had a friendship and not just a physical attraction."

"We did"

"Obviously not, because friends dont lie to eachother. But now that our relationship is over I realized that I never really had that attraction to you. I mean dont get me wrong Luke your good looking and all but I guess I just liked the fact that someone cared for me." her eyes start to water

"Brooke"

"No it's okay Luke"

"I do care for you Brooke and Im so sorry for hurting you. I wish Peyton and I just told you what we were feeling. God Brooke you dont know how sorry we both are. I want us to be friends Brooke. And people care for you. Peyton does." she scoffs "I do, Nathan does, and now Haley does too, hell even my mom does." she smiles "I was scared Nathan was going to kick my ass when he found out I cheated on you. The point is that alot of people do care for you Brooke even if you don't think they do. I would love for us to be friends Brooke please I promise I'll make it up to you."

"I dont know Lucas you betrayed my trust."

"I know I did but please Brooke I promise I'll make it up to you I'll try with all my heart. I'll prove to you that you can trust me again Please!." he pouts his lower lip

"Fine" for Haleys sake "On one condition."

"Anything"
"I dont want you to push me to be friends with Peyton again." he looks at her reluctantly "I mean it Lucas one word about me and Peyton being friends again and our friendship is over."

"Deal. So friends again" he takes out his hand for Brooke to shake on it but she hugs him tight

"Friends again" they both smile and so does Haley who had heard they're whole conversation "Come on lets go sleep." Brooke goes back to her bed and snuggles up next to Haley wrapping her arms around Haley's waist and Lucas goes into the adjoining room leaving the door open and sleeping in his bed.

It's now 8 AM and Haley wakes up and goes into Luke's room to see him sitting up in his bed rubbing his eyes. He looks up and sees Haley staring at him and jumps out of bed picking her up off the floor and twirling her around.

"Haley"

"Lucas I didn't die." he puts her down and they both sit on the bed

"Im sorry Haley I really am. I should have never cheated and we should have never got into that fight about you being friends with Nathan. I just saw him as a threat to take my best friend away. But you were right and I shouldnt have never cheated on Brooke. I shouldn't have flipped out on you for no reason and"

"LUCAS" she yells stopping him from rambling "Geez and you say I ramble." he throws a pillow at her "I forgive you Luke"

"Really your not mad anymore"

"Nope just promise you'll never cheat on a girl again."

"Promise" she smiles "Haley"

"Yah"

"Can I call you Hales again" she smiles

"Ofcoarse you can Luke. I didn't mean that when I said it I was just so mad at you." they both smile

"Hales" they hear Nathan from the adjoining room

"Im in here Nate" Nathan walks in the room wearing a pair of boxers

"Have you seen my basketball shorts."

"Ok Nate you have like 1,000 pairs of basketball shorts"

"Here they are" he puts them on then goes over to Haley and hugs her tightly "You okay" he whispers in her ear

"Great now that Im talking to my 2 favorite Scott Brothers"

"Hey what about me" they all turn their heads to see Keith and laugh Haley runs towards Keith and gives him a huge hug

"Well your my favorite ofcoarse."

"Hey" Nathan and Luke say in unison and they all laugh Haley lets go of Keith and hugs Karen

"Am I seeing things or are Nathan and Lucas in the same room laughing with eachother." Karen whispers in her ear as they both smile and release their hug Haley jumps on the bed and tackles both Lucas and Nathan all 3 of them laughing. Brooke walks into the room and smiles.

"You guys are having a party without me" she jokes "Wait why are you two holding hands" they all stop and look towards Karen and Keith and realize that they are holding hands.

"Yah mom"

"Well you see last night Keith and I were yelling at eachother and well we kind of ended up" she looks at Keith trying to figure out how to say this

"Well we ended up together." Keith cuts in and all 4 teenagers smile brightly

"Bout time" Haley and Luke mutter

"Well were going to head off now and well see you all later." Karen and Keith leave

"Well how bout we all get dressed and than head off to get some breakfast." Nathan suggests, they all agree and Brooke and Haley head off into their room to shower and change as do Nathan and Luke. The second they close the adjoining door Haley jumps on Brooke having them both fall back on to the bed laughing. Haley grabs Brooke's face and kisses her with all her might, Brooke pulls off Haley's top and Haley takes off Brooke's, both of them now topless. Haley lays butterfly kisses all over Brooke as she lays back moaning loving it when Haley's in control, Haley starts to suck on Brooke's left breast using her hand to caress Brooke's other breast. After a few moments Brooke cant handle it anymore and rolls them both over so shes in charge, she kisses Haley all over her breasts but they both stop when they hear the knock on the door.
"What" Haley yells annoyed

"Come on hurry up." they hear Lucas

"Well be out in like half an hour." Brooke says as they hear Nathan and Lucas groan

"Come on Tigger lets shower." Haley gets up smacking Brooke's ass as Brooke laughs chasing her into the bathroom
