Haley and Deb got to the grocery store. Haley got out of the car, Deb did the same. They walked in ans Haley grabbed a cart "So did you talk to Nathan?" Deb asked smiling.
"Ya, last night, I think things are better now, or at least are going to be." Haley smiled. Deb put some apples into the cart.
"That's good!" Deb smiled "I have a question" Deb smiled putting a bunch of bananas into the cart "Did you see Dan come in last night?" she said looking at Haley. Haley shook her head
"No I didn't I'm sorry" Haley said putting some oranges in the cart.
"That's ok I'm just a little worried" Deb said shaking her head.
"I'm so sorry Deb" A man said walking up to her "It must be a hard time for you" The man said patting Deb's shoulder lightly
"I'm sorry, I don't follow" she said looking worried
"Oh, you didn't read the paper or watch the news, it's everywhere... Dan's dead" The man said. Deb face went pale, she grabbed a paper and read it
"Oh my gosh" she said starting to feel dizzy. Haley stood beside her and looked at the paper
"Deb are you ok?" Haley asked.
"No, I'm not" Deb said looking around, she just then had noticed the stares and whispers.

Peyton and Lucas got to the mall "So why are we her?" Lucas asked confused
"Because, you had no better idea, and I need clothes" Peyton smiled walking into a store. Lucas followed close behind
"So, what do you want me to do?" Lucas questioned
"I want you to have fun! And help me" Peyton said grabbing some clothes. She walked over to the change rooms and walked inside one. She closed the curtain and took off her shirt "So how's your mom?" Peyton asked putting on a black shirt that had one blue stripe under her boobs.
"Uhh, she's fine" Lucas said and Peyton came out of the change room
"You like?" Peyton asked twirling around.
"Ya, sure... it's nice" Lucas said. He couldn't stop staring at her.
"Lucas, stop your creeping me out" Peyton laughed as she walked back into the change room.
"Oh sorry" Lucas said looking down "So how's your dad?" He asked looking up but only for a second
"He's ok, he took another long job" Peyton said stepping out, she was now in a black skirt and a red shirt with a black bow. She immediately stepped back in "I hate it!" She admitted laughing. There was an awkward silence, but only for a minute. Peyton opened the curtain and came out in her clothing with the black and blue shirt in her hands "Let's go" She smiled pulling him away from the change rooms and up to the cash register. She paid and then walked out of the store
"You hungry?" Lucas asked
"Starving!" Peyton laughed "You?" she asked looking up at him
"Ya, I'm pretty hungry too. They walked to the food court and decided what to have.

Well I should go there's like 6 million stores here! Bye best bud" she smiled closing her phone. She walked into another store and instantly spotted a cute guy, who was checking her out. She smiled back and picked up a cute dress "Ooo SO CUTE!" Brooke thought still smiling. She looked back up to see the guy was moving towards her. "Stay calm Brooke" she coaxed herself looking at the dress
"Hey" the guy smiled standing beside Brooke
"Hey" she responded plainly still holding up the dress
"I'm Tyler" He said flashing her his smile again
"Brooke" She said pretending not to be interested. She walked over to another rack
"So Brooke, you free for dinner?" Tyler asked following her
"No actually I'm all booked up" she smiled walking into a change room. She locked the door and smiled to herself. She was so proud, she finally turned a hot guy down... maybe liking Lucas was good for her.
