This is the new chapter, have fun reading!

Brooke woke up the next morning with a really bad headache, and not remembering very much from the night before, and then she realized she was in Lucas's bed. The same one he was making out with Haley on. Eww. She quickly got up, despite the pain in caused her, and ran to the shower. While she was showering she slightly remembered the bar and Nathan? Why would Nathan be the one thing she remembered? Maybe she was just going crazy. She got out of the shower and changed into jeans and tight t shirt.

She was going to walk out the door, hopefully not running into Karen, or Lucas, but then as she turned around to see if Karen was there she bumped into Lucas.

"Oh my god, Lucas you scared the crap out of me."

"Sorry Brooke, look we need to talk."

"No we don't and I really can't right now, I need coffee and something to eat."

"Brooke, please."

"What happened to me last night?"

"I'm really not sure, you got drunk and Nathan brought you here."

"Nathan did?"

"Yeah he found you at a bar, or something."

"I have to go."

"Brooke please can we talk?"

"uhh sorry no, that's not going to happen. I'm threw with you Lucas." She walked out the door and got in her car and headed over to Nathan's apartment, leaving Lucas and all her feelings towards him behind.

She headed up to Nathan's door and knocked. After a few seconds Nathan came up looking tired.

"Brooke?"

"Nathan did I wake you up? I'm so sorry. I'll just let you get back to sleep."

"Brooke its okay, come in." Brooke walked in feeling a little weird, her and Nathan never hung out together, just the two of them.

"Umm so what's up?" he asked shutting the door.

"I just… well… what exactly happened last night, all Lucas told me is that you brought me home after I got drunk. I mean I don't remember anything."

"There was a guy there that was dancing with you and he was just being really inappropriate."

"Was he cute?"

"He looked like he was forty, and I doubt you would have thought so, he was creepy looking."

"Oh ew."

"Anyways I pulled him off of you before things went too far and tried to get you to leave but you got a little upset."

"Huh? I got mad at you Nathan, oh my god I'm so sorry. I feel terrible." Brooke said slumping down onto the couch.

"No Brooke it's alright, you were just drunk."

"No Nathan it's not okay you were trying to help me. I'm really sorry do you forgive me?"

"I was never gonna hold it against you."

"Thanks"

"So are you hung-over?"

"Yes, I was gonna go get something to eat but then I ran into Lucas."

"What happened with you and him anyways?"

"How bout you join me for lunch and I'll tell you."

"Ok"

"And you can tell me what happened between you and tutorgirl."

"oh god, that's gonna be fun."

"Come on, let's go."

Later on they were at Karen's café, and waiting for their food to come.

"So you and Haley, what happened?"

"Well she came back, basically wanting to get back together with me, and you know at first we tried to work things out, but it had been to long and things were just different, we decided it wouldn't work out. We are divorced now, just in case you didn't know."

"I'm sorry Nate." Nathan was surprised to hear her call him Nate, it was just not normal, but not in a bad way. It was good. He liked it.

"Thanks Brooke."

"Well you do know that she's with Lucas now, right?"

"Yeah I know."

"See I got home and I was going to tell Lucas that I loved him, he had told me he loved me before I left, and I didn't give him an answer. I was crying and scared and my cab was waiting for me, but then I had the whole summer to think about it and I realized how much I loved him. So that's what I was going to tell him when I walked in on him and Haley making out."

"Wow"

"Yep"

"That's sucks"

"That's why I went to the bar and got drunk. I needed to do something to drown out my feeling. By the way thanks again for getting me away from that creepy guy."

"No problem, anything for you Brooke."

This made Brooke a little uncomfortable at first but then as she thought about it maybe Nathan wasn't such a bad guy. He was really hot, and nice, and he did just say "anything for you Brooke". Not that she ever thought Nathan was a bad guy she just never really thought about him being a good friend to her, but maybe it would be nice. Oh god she was feeling attracted to Nathan. That's twisted considering that he is the brother of the guy she hated, but she couldn't stop the feeling of attraction, and then she just felt stupid because he was probably only thinking of them as friends. "Stop Brooke" she told herself inside of her head.

"Brooke?"

"Huh, what sorry, I was just thinking about how I haven't seen Peyton since I got back, and that's pretty tragic, considering she's my best friend."

"Well if you want to go see her right now that'd be alright."

"And dump you all by yourself, no way Nathan, plus we have food coming." Nathan thought about how sweet Brooke was being, he had never really gotten to know her that well, and this side of her was really nice, but he always had liked her party girl side too. Wow Brooke was looking pretty hot these days too. Nathan couldn't help but feel attracted to her now more then he ever had before. But this was crazy, Brooke would probably only ever want to be friends. Right?
