Here is the lovely chapter seven. You get to find out what in the world the officer wants. Umm a warning in advance, not tomorrow but Saturday I'm leaving to go to Georgia, for like a week and a couple of days. Before I leave I'll update with one or two, if I get some reviews maybe, chapters. Please don't forget about my story. Just put it on alerts or something. I will update the day I get back. Promise. If people forgot about the story I might cry because it has so much more to come no I'm just kidding but it would be sad. Enjoy the chapter!

Brooke and Nathan got back onto the beach and started to put their clothes back on. Nathan sort of noticed the cop looking at Brooke out of corner of his eyes. As soon as they were both dressed Nathan put his arm around Brooke, feeling protective and told the cop he could turn around now.

"I'm sorry to uhh interrupt you two." He said shining the flashlight in Brooke's eyes "I just have some very important news for you Mr. Scott."

"Okay what?"

"Well, I'd prefer to tell you down at the station."

"Look officer just tell me what is going on?" he said getting annoyed with the whole situation.

"Nathan, I'm very sorry but your father Dan Scott had been murdered." It hit Nathan with suck shock he let go of Brooke and walked backwards a little bit.

"What? When? How did this happen?"

Brooke was standing frozen where she was in shock.

"Well we're not quite sure, but we need to take you down to the station for questioning."

"Wait a minute, are you accusing Nathan of murdering his own father?" Brooke said.

"Look we just need to take him down for some questioning."

“No, I’ve been with Nathan all day, and do you even have the slightest bit of a heart, he just found out that his father was murdered and you want to take him down for questioning. How dare you, he needs time to deal with this.”

"Young lady, I'm very sorry about this but we have to question all suspects."

"Good well go do that, Nathan isn't a suspect, he doesn't even have motive. This is ridiculous. You need to get out of here." The cop grabbed Brooke's hands to try to calm her down.

"Listen, we just need to…"

"Hey get you hands off of me. Look Nathan will come down to the station later, but not right now. You need to get out of here. Now!"

"I expectt to see Nathan down at the station tomorrow morning. Bright and early." With that he turned around and walked off the beach. Brooke turned around to see Nathan sitting a little ways down the beach; she quickly walked over to him but slowed down when approaching him.

"Nathan?" he didn't look up at her. She walked over and sat down by him and rubbed his back.

“I’m not sure how to feel.” He said softly “he was my dad, and even though I hated him most of the time, it wasn’t always this bad. He did care about me.”

"I know Nate." He finally looked at her, with actual tears forming in his eyes. He couldn't cry in front of Brooke, let alone anyone though.

“Nathan come here.” Brooke said pulling him into a hug after noticing his eyes watering. He hugged her very tightly, clinging to the love she was giving him. They sat like that for a while before Nathan said “I love you” Brooke normally would have been freaked out when a guy said this to her, but she knew Nathan was a great guy and she felt the same way back.

“I love you too Nathan.” Nathan never actually let the tears fall from his eyes, but inside he was crying like hell. Brooke pulled him into another hug.

"Brooke do you want to stay with me tonight?"

"Sure." She said with a caring smile. "Are you ready?" she asked.

"Yeah" he said. The got up, and Brooke took his hands leaning her head on his shoulder as the slowly walked to the car.

The next morning Brooke woke up wrapped in Nathan's arms, she tried to untangle herself from him but ended up waking him up.

"Sorry" she said

"Oh no it's okay; I need to go down to the station anyways."

"I can't believe their making you do that. It really pisses me off. You didn't kill your own father."

"Thanks for sticking up for me last night Brooke."

"The officer was being a jerk. Are you sure you're ready to go down there."

"I will be if you go with me."

"Of course I will."

"Good" he kissed her quickly and then got up to get ready.

They got to the station to see Lucas, Haley, Karen, and Deb there already.

"This is ridiculous." Nathan said walking in with Brooke.

"Oh my god Nathan." Deb said running over to him "honey I'm so sorry."

Everyone gave Nathan a hug, well not Lucas, but everyone else and then Officer Sherman came in.

"Oh good everyone is here. We can get started then."

"Sir this is outrageous."

"Let's just start the questioning."

"Umm I was with Nathan all day yesterday, there's no way he killed Dan."

“You weren’t with him all day; he came home for a couple of hours in the morning, and then left.” Deb said.

"Right." Brooke had totally forgotten that her and Nathan had even had a fight earlier, but why would Deb say that did she want Nathan to look suspicious.

"Let's just get the questioning over with. I'm sure you all would like to spend time together. I realize this is tragic, but."

"Can we please just get this over with?" Lucas said.

About two hours later all the questioning was finished with and everyone was free to go.

"Hey Nathan, I'm really sorry about Dan." Haley said

"I'm sorry too, and that you had to be questioned, you're not capable of cheating on a test let alone committing murder."

"Thanks Nathan, well I'll go now. It was nice seeing you, haven't really seen a lot of you lately."

"Yeah, it was nice seeing you too."

Brooke was sitting in her car waiting for Nathan when Lucas came up and knocked on the window. Brooke rolled down her window

"What?" Brooke said trying not to sound too angry since Dan was also his father.

"Brooke, I didn't do it. Just so you know."

"Didn't do what?"

"Kill Dan."

"Oh Lucas, how could you even think I would accuse you of that. Come on he was your father too, and I'm really sorry, but I just think it would be better if we didn't talk. I don't want to say anything to hurt you right now."

"I can't stand us not talking Brooke."

"I just don't think it would work."

"I'm sorry for what I said the other day, about how you were using Nathan that was arrogant and stupid of me."

"Its fine, anything else?"

“I’m just, I’m sorry for all the pain I’ve caused you Brooke.”

Brooke was starting to get a little teary eyed as Lucas walked away. A few minutes later Nathan got into the car.

"Hey, hey are you okay?" he said noticing the tears in her eyes.

"I'm fine, umm where too?"

"Anywhere but here."

"Umm ok well you pick."

"I'm really hungry."

"Oh I know exactly where we can go then." They drove to a little restaurant and got some food to go and took it out to the beach, stopping at Lucas's on the way to find a table cloth. When they got to the beach they set up a little picnic and ate lunch. After they were done they lied down on the beach, with Brooke beside Nathan resting her head on his chest, and he had his arm around her.

A little ways down the beach Lucas was sitting by himself staring out into the ocean when Haley walked up.

"Hey Lucas, how are you feeling?"

“oh I’m alright I guess, you know for how many times I wanted the guy dead, I can’t help but feel upset.”

"Well" Haley said sitting down beside him "that's probably because he's your father, there's an unexplainable connection."

"Yeah, I guess."

"Hey you wanna take a walk with me."

"Sure. Yeah that would be great."

They got up and Haley linked arms with Lucas and started walking along the beach. Back where Brooke and Nathan were they had moved on from cuddling and were now making with Nathan on top of Brooke. Haley and Lucas were walking up towards them and then they saw them making out.

"Oh god, Haley lets turn around before they see us." But it was too late Nathan and Brooke were already off of each other, and standing up.

"Uhh hi Haley, Lucas." Brooke said, Nathan didn't say anything.

"We're really sorry we were just taking a walk and, well we ran into you guys, we'll just be out of your way now." She said grabbing Lucas's hand and dragging him the other way.

"Well that was nice and awkward." Brooke said

"We should probably go somewhere more private." He said, starting to pick up the food and throw it away.

"You wanna go to your apartment, I mean I would suggest mine but it's kind of occupied by Karen and Lucas."

"Yeah sure, umm is Karen gonna wonder where you are."

"I'll tell her the situation; I didn't want to leave you alone. I'm sure she'll understand."

"Alright let's go."

hmm, there was chapter seven, hope you had fun for a few minutes reading it. Review!. I'll update again tomorrow morning, or maybe late tonight, even though that would be the third update in one day. Coming up

There's a lead on who killed Dan, who could it be?

Officer Sherman certainly should not be an officer, considering his certain obsession with someone... Creepy cop!

Someone's back in town, any guesses?
