"Hey," Lucas said, now taking a seat beside Brooke, who looked completely and utterly lost. Peyton had went to talk to Callie, which left a dead silent room. Eventually, Haley had slipped out for a while, going to check on her kids at home, and Nathan had crashed on the couch, leaving Brooke and Lucas.

"Hey," she replied to him smiling slightly. It was great to see him again, after such a long time.

"You okay there Cheery?" he asked, trying to make her smile by using her old nickname.

"Don't worry Luke, you have enough things on your plate, you don't need my serving of problems, but I'm fine, I just feel out of place here," she said, avoiding her eyes.

"Don't feel out of place, your always welcome here okay? Now what's really wrong?" he asked her, both of them getting up and walking to the kitchen, letting Nathan sleep.

"It's really nothing, just Tim but what else is new, right?" she said, trying to make a joke.

"C'mon Brooke, you can tell me, you don't seem like Brooke anymore, what's the problem?" he asked, looking into her oh-so framilar eyes.

"Lucas, it's just Tim, everything seemed so happily ever after with us, then something hit one of his nerves and all he does is yell at me, or the kids," she said, getting a look on Lucas' face, "Oh right, two kids, Dakota, 10, and Travis, 7"

"I've noticed that too, we've only played together for a while, but he always seems angry," Lucas said, understanding.

"It's like he's hiding something from me, and I hate it," Brooke said, holding back her tears, "We were so close, but then he broke down, I just don't understand anymore..." She trailed off, with Lucas grabbing her hand.

"Don't worry, it'll work out..." he said, giving her an understandable smile.

"How can you be so sure?" she asked him, hugging him. She never realized how much she missed him, until this hug. Everything floated away, it seemed like everything was perfect until her cell phone rang. She gave Lucas a look that said I-have-to-answer-this and she flipped open her phone to see Tim's Cell on the caller id.

"Hey hun," she said, trying her best to sound happy.

"Brooke, where the hell are you?" asked a very annoyed Tim.

"I'm out with some old friends, what's wrong?" she said, smiling at Lucas.

"You left the kids home with a sitter to see 'old friends', why?" he yelled at her.

"Tim, calm down, we always leave the kids with the sitter," she said, rolling her eyes.

"Brooke, why would we need a sitter when you can be home?" he yelled again, this time loud enough that Lucas could hear it outside the conversation.

"Tim, would you stop this? Can't we talk at home?" she said, embaressed by her husband.

"No, we can talk now, I have been working for a week at least, and the least thing I can come home to is my kids sitting at home with a stranger? I bring the money home Brooke and all you can do is go out with friends?"

"Tim, didn't you notice how clean the house was? Or how there was dinner sitting for you? And that is not a stranger sitting there, that is my cousin, who sits for us all the time, and I am ending this conversation right now, because I can't take this anymore," she finished with, turning off her phone.

"See what I mean Luke?" she said, almost crying.

"Don't worry, it'll be okay."

Peyton sat with her daughter, until their hug broke.

"Can I at least ask you one question?" Callie asked her mom, very brave at this point.

"Anything hon," Peyton said, sweeping a strand of hair from her daughter's face.

"Why would you let him do that? Why would you just let him forget about his own child?" Callie asked her mom, who still looked upset.

"I don't really know Callie, I was young, and everything was moving so fast," Peyton said slowly, seeing her daughter's hurt eyes.

"Can you do me a favour for now then?" she asked, turning away.

"Ya..."

"Leave, please, I need to be alone,"

Callie didn't watch her mom leave, she just listened. She sunk her head into her pillow and cried. Her life was at a crossroads right now. She still couldn't believe what had happened. She kept crying and crying, wanting to wake up from a dream, a bad horrible nightmare. But nothing happened, she kept crying into the night, falling asleep in her clothes.

"Nathan, wake up babe, we've got to go home," Haley whispered in her husband's ear, shaking him awake. Nathan opened his eyes, he was asleep at Luke and Peyton's house, and suddenly everything came back to him. Telling Callie, her running, her crying.

"Hales, I'm such a screw up," he said, getting up and hugging her. She sighed.

"Don't worry Nath, it'll be okay, Luke just took Brooke home, and Peyton crashed on the other couch, so we better go," Haley said, walking out with her hubbie. He put his arm over her shoulder and they got in their car and drove home. They layed in bed that night, Nathan not being able to sleep.

"Hales, go to sleep, c'mon, I know you're tired," he said, stroking her face.

"Babe, you know I can't sleep if you can't sleep, what's wrong?" she said, turning to face him. He sighed, and hugged her.

"I don't know what happened, it just came out, I really wish I didn't say anything," he said quietly.

"Nathan, it's not your fault. Sooner or later they were going to tell Callie anyway, so this was bound to happen, you have to calm down," Haley said softly, resting her head on his chest.

"I really hope it will,"
