Brooke woke up to a new room and a new life. She looked around the guest bedroom Jake had for her; it really wasn't her style, but she wasn't going to complain. Brooke got up out of bed and went over to her suitcase which she hadn't even begun to unpack yet. She sat on her knees and unzipped it; the first thing she saw was a picture of her and Peyton.

She smiled as she remembered the day the picture was taken; they were up at the beach and had just got done skinny dipping. Brooke sighed and set down the picture sadly; she looked through the rest of her pictures and saw a picture of her and Nathan after one of his games. Brooke was dressed in her cheerleading outfit with an "R" painted on her face and Nathan had his arm around her smiling because of their big win.

Brooke closed her eyes for a moment. She truly missed Nathan, and not just because of the sex. They were best friends and they loved each other. Brooke put the picture back in her suitcase and got up and walked into the kitchen. She saw Jake attempting to feed Jenny and Brooke chuckled to herself.

Jake looked over towards her and smiled, "Morning sunshine," he said, "I made some bacon and eggs," Jake said pointing over to the table where a plate was already set out, "I thought you'd be hungry."

Brooke smiled at him and then sat down at the table, "You were right," she said taking a bite of her bacon, "Crispy…Just the way I like it!"

"I know," Jake said with a warm smile, "It's good to cook for someone again."

Brooke laughed, "I can't believe you haven't found yourself a girlfriend, Jakey," she said winking at him, "You're not that bad looking," she teased.

"Jenny's the only girl I need in my life right now," Jake said admiring his beautiful daughter, "Well, and except for you Brooke, but I'm kind of stuck with you," he said with a smile that Brooke knew he was kidding.

Brooke stuck her tongue out at him, "You know that you needed the company."

"True," Jake said nodding his head, "Hey, get ready. I'm going to take you around New York, show you what really city life is like."

Nathan walked into his apartment and heard a piano playing back in his room. He smiled to himself because he knew that Haley was continuing her music without that sleaze ball Chris. Nathan walked back to the room and saw Haley lying on their bed with just a blanket around her smiling at whoever was playing the piano Nathan bought her.

Nathan looked over and saw Chris, with a pair of Nathan's shorts on, playing on Haley's piano. "What the hell is going on here?" Nathan screamed as he barged into the room.

"Nathan!" Haley exclaimed as she covered herself up more with the blanket.

Nathan glared at Haley, and then darted his eyes to Chris, "What the fuck do you think you're doing with my wife?" He asked angrily; before Chris had a chance to say anything Nathan pushed him up against the wall and choked him, "Answer the fucking question…" He said on the point to exploding in anger, "What.The.Fuck.Are.You.Doing.With.My.Wife?"

Haley stood up with the blanket still wrapped around him, "Nathan stop it," she cried as she grabbed a hold of Nathan's arm, "You'll hurt him!"

Nathan released his grip from Chris's throat and stared at Haley, "I want you out," he said sternly but softly, "Out of my house, and out of my life…"

"Nathan," Haley began as her voice began to go, "I'm…"

Nathan threw Haley her clothes and turned and faced Chris, "And you rock star," he said coldly, "Don't let the door hit you on the way out…"

Jake and Brooke walked along a park while Brooke pushed Jenny's stroller, "New York is so beautiful," Brooke said in awe as she watched the orange and red leaves fall from the trees and almost dance on the sidewalk.

"Yeah," Jake said as he looked up at the sky and then looked back to Brooke, "Are you ever going to go back?" He asked as he squinted his eyes.

Brooke looked away from Jake, "I don't want to…"

"I know it's hard Brooke, but you belong in Tree Hill," Jake pointed out, "You've got to go back sometime."

Brooke rolled her eyes, "What about you? You ran away and didn't give two flying fucks about it…"

"I had to," Jake said as he looked down at Jenny.

Brooke nodded in understandment, "The only way I'll go back is if you do…I can't go back to that place Jake…"

"I know it's hard," Jake said, "But you're such a tough person Brooke."

Brooke bit her bottom lip and sighed, "I'm hungry…" Jake nodded and they walked out of the park.

Haley walked into Lucas's room with her eyes red and nose stuffy from crying. Lucas took off his headphones and got up from his bed quickly, "Hales," he said as he hugged her, "What's wrong?"

Haley sniffed, "I think Nathan and I are getting a divorce," she said sadly.

Lucas pulled back from the hug, but still had a hold of his best friend, "What did Nathan do?" He asked.

"He didn't do anything," Haley explained, "He…He walked in on me and Chris and we were…You know…" She said as her voice trailed off.

Lucas released his grip from Haley's arms, "Are you kidding me?" He asked in disbelief.

"I don't know what happened, Luke," Haley said as she sat down on Lucas's bed, "It was so tempting…And I never got a chance to date," she said softy.

Lucas shook his head and sighed, "Nathan loves you Haley!"

"You don't think I know that?" She exclaimed.

"Obviously not," Lucas said, "This isn't like you Haley…What were you thinking?"

Haley stood up, "I wasn't thinking Lucas!" She yelled, "That's the thing! I'm 17 years old; I'm not supposed to be married! I'm supposed to be a teenager, I'm supposed to graduate and get into a good college!"

"Haley," Lucas said trying to calm his best friend down, "You're acting crazy…"

Haley put her face in her hands, "I don't know what to do Lucas…"

"I want to be here for you, but…" Lucas said.

Haley looked at him, "But what?" She asked.

"Nathan's my brother," was all Lucas said.

"And I'm your best friend!" Haley screamed, "You're such a hypocrite! You did the same thing to Brooke with Peyton!"

Lucas glared at her, "Yeah, but I wasn't married to Brooke!"

"This is unbelievable!" Haley said to herself.

Lucas sighed, "Look, I'm here for you Hales, okay? I just can't support you doing this guy while you're still married to Nathan!"

"Whatever," Haley said angrily and barged out of Lucas's room.

Peyton sat at her computer and typed an email to Jake. She sighed and sent the email; she had already sent him ten and was beginning to send him one everyday. Peyton just missed him and Jenny a lot. Peyton heard a knock on her door and saw Anna standing there smiling, "Hey," Peyton said blocking Jenny and Jake out of her head.

"You seem stressed out," Anna said as she sat down on Peyton's bed.

Peyton nodded, "That's why I had you come over…Did you get the stuff from Rick?" She asked.

Anna pulled out the coke and smiled mischievously, "I brought some beers too…"

"Cool," Peyton said as she walked over to Anna, "Thank God my dad isn't around much…He'd kill me if he knew about this shit…"

Anna snorted a line and wiped her nose, "Yeah, me too…" She said and then started laughing. Peyton laughed nervously and looked at the picture of her mom. She looked down at the coke and snorted up a line.

Brooke sat on Jake's couch and watched MTV. Jake had gone out and she was babysitting Jenny for him. Brooke heard a knock on the door and walked over to it and opened it. She saw Lucas standing there and her jaw dropped, "What are you doing here?" She asked in confusion.

"I came to get you," Lucas said.

Brooke looked at him in confusion, "How did you…? Did Jake tell you?" She asked.

"I've known where Jake has been since he left," Lucas said spilling his secret, "And I figured you'd come and live with him…So. Here I am," Lucas said with a warm smile.

Brooke sighed, "I'm not coming back Luke…"

Jake came up behind Lucas and nodded his head, "Yes we are Brooke…"

"Are you guys ganging up on me?" Brooke asked.

They both nodded, "A lot of shit has been going on Brooke," Luke explained, "We need the whole gang back…"

"I can't go back…" Brooke said.

Lucas sighed, "It's not a matter if you can or can't…You have to come back," he said seriously.

Brooke nodded and felt her eyes begin to burn, "I'll pack my stuff," she said as her voice cracked.

Nathan sat at the River court and looked out into the river. All he had on his mind was how Haley could cheat on him, but in the back of his mind he knew that he'd done the same thing to her with Brooke. Brooke, the name reminded him of so many memories and now she was gone. Nathan mainly blamed himself, he knew that he should've chosen between Haley and Brooke, but he couldn't. They were both too special to him. Nathan looked to his left and saw Haley walking towards him; he wished that one day it would be Brooke coming back to him…

"Nathan," Haley said, "I know I made a mistake…"

Nathan stopped her, "Don't say anything Haley…This just proves that we're too young to be married…"

"I love you Nathan," Haley said as tears started to form in her eyes.

Nathan scoffed, "Don't bull shit with me Haley…"

"I'm not," Haley stated, "We made a mistake Nathan. We're too young for this…"

Nathan sighed, "So, are we getting a divorce?"

"Only if that's what you want," Haley said; hoping that Nathan would give her another chance.

Nathan looked down at the ground, "I can't blame you for sleeping with him Hales," Nathan said, "'Cause I haven't exactly been honest with you either…"

"What?" Haley asked.

"But," Nathan said beginning from where he left off, "It doesn't matter what I did anymore…Because we'll both know that what you did was ten times worse…So if that doesn't answer your question Hales, then yes I do want a divorce," Nathan said and stood up from the bench, "I gave you everything," he said in almost a whisper.

Haley closed her eyes, "I know," she whispered, "I know…"

"Now you have Chris," Nathan said coldly, "And he can get you whatever you want, right?" Nathan asked and then walked away leaving Haley alone out in the cold.

"So denied, so I lied, are you the now or never kind?" Brooke sang along to the radio. She was nervous as hell, "I can't believe you guys are making me go back…"

Lucas sighed, "I think Nathan needs you…"

"Why?"

"Hales cheated on him with Chris," Lucas said with disappointment in his voice, "And they're getting a divorce…"

Brooke looked at him in disbelief, "Oh my god…You're kidding."

"I wish I was," Lucas said looking at Brooke and then setting his eyes back on the road and turning the radio up.

Here's to the nights we felt alive.

Here's to the tears you knew you'd cry.

Here's to goodbye

Tomorrow gonna' come too soon…
