They all arrive at the cafe park there cars and meet outside. Jake walks of to Brooke and Peyon, Haley stays close to Lucas and Nathan stand a bit apart from the rest of the group, watching Haley sadly.

Jake: Hey ladies. Hey can I talk to you for a minute Brooke?

Brooke: Um, ok...

Peyton raised her eyebrow at Jake and Brooke looks just as bewildered. Jake takes Brooke by the arm and pulls her aside.

Brooke: Yeah?

Jake: Ok, I told Nathan you and I had plans, so what are we going to do?

Brooke: Um, Jake, I'm kind of dating Lucas right now and you're supposidly in love with my best friend. I mean not to say you're unattractive or anything, but... (Jake cuts her off)

Jake: (Chuckles) No Brooke, what are we going to do about Nathan and Haley.

Brooke: (Turns bright red) Oh, yeah, I knew you meant that.

Jake: Haha, sure you did Brooke.

Brooke: Yeah, what ever. So anyways, about Nathan and Haley. I was thinking we could all go back to the apartment after dinner and hangout, talk, you know maybe play a few games. (Brooke puts on a devious smile)

Jake: Brooke Davis, you have a one of a kind mind.

Brooke: Thank you, I'll take that as a complement. Now, we should go back over there, before Peyton thinks I'm trying to steal her boy toy and Lucas comes over here to pound you.

Jake: Haha, ok.

Brooke and Jake walk back over to the group. Brooke walks over to Lucas and stand between him and Haley, while Jake goes over and puts his arm around Peyton. Haley and Nathan both gaze at eachother, feeling kind of left out.

The group walked into the cafe and were greated by Karen.

Karen: Hi guys. Jake, your back! I'm so glad you're back.

Jake: Thanks, so am I.

Karen: So what can I get you guys? Haley and Lucas planning on cooking again?

Lucas: Haha, no we aren't. Um, I was hoping you could make us some of that amazing chicken noodle soup of your's mom.

Karen: Ok, you guys just sit down and I'll have it ready in a little.

Lucas: Thanks mom.

Karen goes off into the back of the kitchen. They all sit down. Nathan and Haley wind up sitting next to eachother, because Jake and Peyton were sitting next to eachother and so were Brooke and Lucas.

Jake: So, what has everyone been up to since I left.

Brooke: Peyton got a new mom!

Peyton: Brooke!

Brooke: What?

Jake: What!

Peyton: I found out that I'm adopted and I met my biological mother. Can we talk about this later Jake?

Jake: (Puzzled) Um, ok... Haley, what have you been up to since you got back?

Haley: Mostly school stuff. I've been applying to colleges like crazy and stuff.

Jake: Oh, cool. Get accepted anywhere yet?

Haley: Yeah actually, I already got my UNC and my UC Berkeley acceptance letters!

Lucas: YOU DID! Hang on a second guys. (Turns towards the kitchen) MOM, did I get any college letters today?

Karen: (Yells back) Yeah, I think you got a letter from UC Berkeley, one from UNC and one from Sarah Lawrence.

Lucas looked as though he might fall out of his seat.

Haley: Calm down Lucas. If you want I can run over to your house and get the mail for you.

Lucas: Yes!

Brooke: He means that would be very nice of you Haley. (Laughs) Oh, hey Nathan, why don't you go with Haley so she doesn't have to walk alone. It's starting to get a little dark.

Nathan: Um... ok...

Haley looks at Brooke, rolls her eyes and then looks at Nathan. She could see him almost pleading with her with his eyes.

Haley: (Sigh) Fine, let's go before Karen finishes the soup.

Nathan and Haley both get up from the table and walk out of the cafe. It's a bit chilly outside and Haley wraps her arms around herself and shivers a little. Nathan looks at her with that same loving worry he does every time he sees her shiver.

Nathan: Cold?

Haley: (Diverts her eyes from Nathan and lies) No.

Nathan can tell she's lying. He slowly wraps his arms around her protectivly to keep her warm. Haley almost shakes him off, but then decides not to.

Haley: (Softly) Thanks.

Nathan: No problem. That's what husbands are for.

Haley scoffs a little and Nathan looks down at the ground. They continue to walk and get to Lucas's back red door. Haley takes a key out of her pocket and opens the door. They go inside and Nathan sits down on the bed as Haley goes over to Lucas's desk to look for his mail.

Nathan: Look Haley...

Haley turned and looked at Nathan. Nathan stopped talking. Nathan's heart stopped. There were tears in Hales. Nathan got up and went over to her. He one of his arms around her and began to dry her tears with his other hand.

Nathan: Shhh...no Hales please don't cry.

Haley: Nathan...(sob) I can't do this. I love you, it hurts too much.

Nathan: So forgive me Hales. Please. Just come on Hales, meet me halfway.

Haley: How do you know something won't happen again. How do you one of us isn't going to lose the others trust again.

Nathan: Because I'm sorry. Because I love you and because you're just so hot, I could never lie to or betray you again. (Chuckles a little)

Haley wipes her face with her sleeve and turns to look at Nathan. She looks up at Nathan beautiful blue eyes. Nathan leans down and kisses Haley softly. Then he takes his finger and gently stroke her cheek.

Haley: Mmm... ok. I forgive you, but if anything happens that's bad, I'm blaming Luke.

Nathan: What? (Laughs)

Haley: Nevermind.

Nathan puts his arm around Haley and she burries her face in his chest, neither of them ever wanted to let eachother go ever again.
