Nathan practically ran towards the hotel suite that Haley and Lucas were sharing. Banging on the door, he was relieved to see that Lucas answered.
"Hey, man." Lucas said, a smile spreading across his face.
Nathan smiled back, slightly nervous. "Hey, Luke. Can I uhh...Come in?"
Lucas just noticed that he was blocking the enterance to the room. "Oh, I'm sorry." He said laughing. Taking a step to the side, he allowed Nathan enterance to the room. "So, uh..Haley's not here right now. She's at the store, but she should be back soon, I think."
Nathan sat down on the couch. "I'll talk to Haley later. Right now I wanna talk to you. Sit." Nathan said, pointing to the chair that was placed across the couch.
Lucas laughed. "Okay, dad. Whatever you say." He said before planting himself down in the chair.
"You're being a dick." Nathan said, straight to the point.
Lucas furrowed his brow in confusion. "Uhhh..What?"
Nathan laughed. "With the whole Brooke situation. Why can't you just be happy for her?"
Lucas narrowed his eyes. "Would you be happy for Haley if you found out that she wanted to be with Chris instead of you?" He asked his little brother, accusingly.
Nathan shook his head 'no'. "No, but it's a different situation. Me and Haley are married."
Lucas let out a dry laugh. "Yeah, when it's convienient to you." He said, his words sharp.
Nathan stood up, hovering over his older brother. "Look, Brooke asked me to talk to you. Now I think I understand why. You're being a total douche. Haley's my wife. No matter what bullshit she does, I still love her. You wanna talk about convienience? Peyton is happy now that Jake's back-- so I guess that leaves Brooke. You want Brooke when it's CONVIENIENT to YOU." Nathan was furious at this point. Not too long ago, the only true friends he had were Peyton, Brooke, and Tim.
Lucas put his head down in shame. "I love her." He said, his voice quiet and raspy.
Nathan nodded his head. "Then let her go."
"Wow, that's deep. Are you speaking from experience?" Asked a nervous Haley from the door.
The Scott brothers turned to her, Lucas standing up. "I think I owe Brooke an apology. I'll leave you two married kids alone." He said, sending Nathan a wink.
Nathan nodded his head. "Thanks, Luke."
Lucas simply waved to both of them before exiting out of the hotel room.
Haley put her bags down before nervously crossing the room over to her husband. "It's good to see you." She said, tears threatening her eyes.
Nathan nodded his head. "Yeah, you too."
There was an akward silence, but Nathan broke it.
"When I got to New York, I went to Chris's room. He answered the door shirtless, with his belt buckle un-done." He said, laughing sadly. "The first thing that came to my mind was 'You're too late-- you already lost her.'" Nathan let out a heavy sigh. "I pushed past Chris-- but was completely SHOCKED to see Brooke."
Haley laughed sadly, not bothering to wipe the tears away from her face.
"Then Brooke and I talked...Like old times..And she made me see that I love you, and that I don't wanna give up on us." Nathan finished, putting his head down.
Haley let out a tiny sob. "I'm sorry for making you hurt, Nathan."
Nathan nodded his head. "It's okay-- I mean..It's not OKAY..But it will be." Was all he said as he gathered her sobbing form into his arms.
"I love you, Nathan." Haley said quietly.
Nathan kissed the top of her head. "I love you too, Hales."
Meanwhile, Brooke and Chris were playing Monopoly in his hotel room.
"Ha-Ha. You're ass is in jail...again." Brooke said, triumphantly.
Chris let out a heavy sigh. "What the hell? I think you're cheating! I've been in jail more times than I've rolled the fuckin dice."
Brooke smiled before clinging to her heart. "Christopher Kellar, I, Brooke Penelope Davis, Would NEVER cheat."
Chris smiled before messing up her hair. "Don't EVER call me Christopher again."
Brooke playfully rolled her eyes. Their banter was broken up by a knock on the door.
Brooke shrugged her shoulders before getting up to answer it.
"Lucas.." She trailed off, shocked to see him here.
Lucas looked at her uncomfortably. "Yeah, well..I stopped by your room, and uhh...you weren't there. So I figured you were with Chris." He said, shooting out Chris's name like venom.
Brooke akwardly nodded her head. "Oh...cool. Well...do you wanna come in?"
Lucas thought for a moment before slowly nodding his head. "Yeah, as long as I'm not interrupting anything."
Brooke laughed. "Please, Luke. It's not like we're having seeeex..." She began, but stopped. "I'm sorry." She said, putting her hand up to her mouth.
Lucas tried to shrug it off. "No, it's cool. I actually came here to apologize. I better go. I'm sorry, Brooke." He said sincerely, before quickly walking away.
Brooke stood there, watching him go with a sad look on her face. "Yeah, me too." She said quietly.
