WANT TO BE RELATED TO CHAD))

Chapter one

"Hey Lucas," Brooke said sheepishly. As much as she loved looking into those

beautiful eyes, she didnt want to talk to him. She didn't want to say that she

didn't love him anymore. She moved on... He'd get over her.

"Hey Brooke," Lucas replied walking over to Brooke. He reached out to kiss her,

but as he leaned she turned her head causing him to kiss her softly on the

cheek. He looked at Brooke kind of aggravated.

"What's wrong Brooke?" Lucas asked with his arms folded across his chest and his

muscles tightening under his shirt. He so hot when he was angry. How could she

break it off now?

"I have to talk to you about something," Brooke said uneasily staring at her

feet and fidgeting with her shirt. She was too nervous. If she really didn't

care, this wouldnt be so hard. She did care though. He was her first real

love. He wasnt like any of the other boys she dated.

"Okay, what's wrong?" Lucas asked reaching out to comfort her but she just

moved away from his grasp. They were playing a game of cat and mouse. He was

starting to realize he was fighting a lost cause. He wanted to cry, but he had

to be a man, and men don't cry.

"I just found out the other day from Payton that Erin from the foot ball team

likes me and the other day he asked me out and I kinda said yes," Brooke babbled

on trying to get it all off her chest. She didn't cheat on him yet, but she had

thought about it. Why couldnt she keep both boys? Who needs monogamy anyways?

"So, what does this mean?" Lucas asked fighting the urge to emotionally

explode. He wanted to kill Erin for asking out his girlfriend. He wanted to

fall to his knees crying and begging for her to stay. It was times like these

he had a friend he knew he could trust. All of his friends from the team were

just fake.

"It means that I cant see you anymore," Brooke said firmly as a tear fell from

her eyes. She hated breaking his heart, but she always like Erin. They were a

better match then her and Lucas. She looked at him waiting for his reply. He

was just staring at her speechless.

"Brooke..." Lucas finally whispered. He couldn't take losing her. Especially

losing losing to some football jock who only cares about sex and football. He

looked away. He couldn't watch her walk out of his life. They had been through

so much together, and she was going to throw it away for a football player.

"I'm sorry Luc but I really like this guy too and I really want to go out with

him," Brooke replied trying to justify her actions. She was more trying to

tell herself that this was right instead of him. She had always had a crush on

Erin and now he liked her back. She really wanted to be happy.

"Whatever," Lucas said coldly as he walked out of her bedroom. She called him

all the over just to break up with him. Lucas stormed out of the house and ran

to the café. He just needed to get away from her.

"Hey Lucas," Karen said as he entered the café. She walked over to him. She

knew immediately something was wrong, call it mother instinct. She hugged and

smiled.

"Hey mom," Lucas replied blankly. The cafe was the one place he felt

comfortable at, like no storms could break down these walls. It was his

mother's and he was safe in his mother's arms. She was all he had for times

like these.

"Luc can you help me with the café its kind of busy and I don't have any help."

Karen asked knowing that he just needed to get his mind off of Brooke. Who

knows maybe he'd meet a sensitive woman who wouldn't break his heart.

"Yeah sure." It wasn't like he had anything better to do.

Haley sat in her empty house staring at the ceiling. She use to have the life

she had always wished for, but it had been long over now. She was married and

divorced by the time she said tree hill 8 times.

Knock, Knock

"Come in the doors open." Haley said as she stared at what she had left. She

started crying. It was really over... The divorce was final. He wasn't coming

back. He didn't love her anymore.

"Hey Mrs. Keller were here to pick up the couch the bed and the TV." The delivery

men said as they walked into the house.

"Ohm, okay and call me Haley James not Mrs. Keller." Haley said wiping her eyes.

She wasn't going to cry about this again. She looked at her watch and motion

the men where to go. She just wasn't in the mood today.

"Okay." The men followed her and but the rest of her belonging in the U-haul.

It was barely full. It looked so empty.

Haley was moving back to tree hill. She had been thinking of all the bad

memories and how mean people had been to her in elementary school. She didn't

want to go back but she couldn't afford the house by herself so she was moving

in with her parents again. She walked out side to her car and started to drive

to tree hill.

As she got in her car, she remembered the one person who was there... Lucas
