Peyton and Haley bursted into Lucas's kitchen with such anger and confusion, the door almost came off.
"What did you do?" Haley was about to say, but something stopped her. She looked around the kitchen to see Lucas with a giantic smile on his face and Brooke's pictures, cards and whatever had to do with Brooke around him.
Peyton exhaled sharply and said, "Are you and Brooke done?"
"WHAT? No, of course not!" Lucas said, he was shocked that Peyton would say something like that when his and Brooke's relationship was going so smoothly.
"Then why was she making out with that new guy on the basketball team in the record store?" Peyton asked cooly.
Lucas looked taken back. A wave of emotions hit him as he shifted his gaze to Haley. He didn't believe Peyton. Haley would tell him that Peyton was making some kind of sick joke. Her eyes meet his and he knew Peyton was telling the truth.
"BROOKE!" Lucas yelled as he ran down the street to the record store. Peyton and Haley were struggling to keep up, he knew it, but didn't care. "BROOKE!" He yelled again. As he reached the record store, he looked down on the hunched body on the floor. "Brooke," he breathed.
She looked up at him, she saw all the sadness in his eyes. The disappointment. "I'm sorry." She managed to say.
"Where is he?"Lucas asked, scared to think of what her respond was going to be.
"He left. I couldn't do it. He got upset and left." Brooke said inbetween sobs.
"Why...why did you...did you..kiss him?" Lucas stuttered.
"I did, but I stopped." Brooke got up and wrapped her arms around his neck.
"But...you...I love you...did you...you don't" Lucas couldn't get the words out, he was angry, he pushed away from Brooke and walked away. He hated everyone. As he walked past Haley he murmured,"Now I know what Nathan felt."
The three of them stood there for a long time. With the glances they sent each other they understood each other, even if no one else did.
Peyton and Haley stood outside Lucas's door, knocking for about 10 minutes now.
"Luke! Come on! Open up!" Peyton screamed. She looked at Haley for help."Come on Hales, a little help here."
Haley stood there for a moment and realized her friend needed her, even if he didn't know it. She stood on her toes lifted the highest plant up just a bit and held something in her hand. She took the key and opened the door. She looked at Peyton and just smiled,"The magic of a key."
Lucas was sitting on the couch watching a basketball game, suprisingly there was someone beside him.
"Give me the key." Lucas said sharply to Haley as he got up from the couch and stepped over to her. He knew he was hurting her, but he didn't care.
She handed him the key and looked at him.
He turned to Peyton and said," Can I talk to you alone?"
Peyton glanced to Haley with a worried face. Haley assured her she would be okay with a simple nod. Peyton reductanely turned and followed Lucas.
It was now Haley alone in the room with the man that didn't turn around yet. She felt uncomfortable so she walked to the door, her hand was on the knob when the man said, "Where are you going?"
Haley turned around slowly and was surprised to see Nathan sitting on the couch."I'm leaving ." She said simply and turned again. She walked out of the house and hoped that he would follow. But he didn't. Instead she saw him walk out the back door, get into his car, and drive off. She was crushed.
