Felix hadn't seen his sister as he swung the door open with force, he proceeded to his bedroom, wondering what was wrong with him she followed. He had just lain down on the bed when the knock came at the open door, he looked up to find Anna standing there. "Bad night?" she asked. "Fine, you?" he replied, "Well my boyfriend just broke up with me because he's in love with someone else" she responded. Felix rose quickly from the bed "What?" he said with a hint of anger evident in his tone. "He said the person was from his past and that she was slipping away from him, and that he was going to see her tonight." Anna said with little emotion showing. "He was just over at Brooke's, he interrupted just as Brooke had agreed to be with me. First he dumps my little sister and now he comes to try and tell my girlfriend he loves her, I think Lucas and I are going to need to have a little chat." Shocked at what she had just heard and sensing that her brother was beginning to get angrier she left his room. Felix lay there going over the thoughts in his head, he knew as hard as he could try the next time he would see Lucas it would be hard for him to control himself.

It seemed like an eternity, for the first time in a long time she felt safe. Eventually Jake broke off the hug, he brushed back the blonde locks that had now intruded her face and wiped the tears from her pale cheeks. Jake looked in to her eyes and said calmly "Let me take you home." Without any hesitation she gave him a smile and nodded. Jake held her hand tightly as he led her to the passenger's side of her car, he got her in and closed the door before making his way round to the drivers side and got in. He started the car and moved into the dark of night back to Peyton's house.

He blew out the last candle, he had given up hope of her returning in time for the apology dinner he had prepared, oblivious to the fact that she was standing on the platform with Chris contemplating leave Tree Hill and her husband behind. Nathan tried to reach her on her cell phone but it went to the answering message every time, he was upset because he wanted her to know that he felt bad that about how he had acted.

Lucas laid on his bed staring at the ceiling going over his little brothers word again and again. "There's a girl you care about." It started to make sense, he knew it was true but it was only after Nathan's comment he finally gave in and admitted that it was true. Breaking up with Anna was the easy part, it was telling her how he felt about her that made him want to escape. It was real! He wanted to be with her, to be hers. However the thought of hurting her again was overwhelming, he couldn't do it, not again. The last time was hard enough for her, he cared about her too much to hurt her again, and then again she had to know. The one thing he had learned from the revelations of the heart test was that life was too short to spend it alone.

I really hope she is okay, deep in thought of her best friend. He thought quickly changed to Felix, she was glad that although her family's money problems were making her life unbearable, that other situations in her life were beginning to work out for her. She's got herself a new boyfriend and she had begun to let Lucas back into her life albeit as a friend but she was glad they were talking again. Its not easy being Brooke Davis she thought to herself, but it is good, as she could feel herself smiling.

The echo of the bus departure to New York sounded in the background, she just stood there motionless. "Haley, are you ready?" Chris said for the second time trying to snap her out of thought. It didn't work she stood there going over the time her and Nathan had spent together and the life that they shared.

Jules sat in there in disgust at Dan, how he could do this to his own flesh and blood. She needed the money. That was the only reason she decided to go along with what Dan wanted, the thing she didn't count on was genuinely caring for Keith. He was sweet and treated her like she was the only thing that mattered, all women wanted to feel wanted and she had someone that loved her.

Karen stood shocked, she trusted Deb and believed that the two were friends. She realised that she and Keith were never a couple and that's not what bothered her, it was the fact that Deb had lied to her. Eventually she managed to get some words out. "I'd like you to leave" she said to Deb. Deb seeing that she had upset her turned and walked out the door.

Practically all my chapter titlesare going to be music lyrics, songs related to the show. The first two chapter titlesare bits of Lucas' speech in the second episode of season 2.

Hope you enjoy
