A/N: just a note, Nathan is living at the house by himself like in the show right now and this is the summer before collage.

"Mrs. Scott?" Haley was sitting in an uncomfortable chair in the station next to Brooke and Nathan. When she heard her name, she jumped and latched on to Brooke's hand. When Haley didn't move her friend pulled her up and led her to the woman.

"This is Haley Scott." Brooke said to the women, she nodded and shook both girl's hands. "Brooke Davis."

"Brooke Haley very nice to meet you both. I'm detective Williams, but unfortunately Haley is going to have to come with me to talk." Brooke could see the flash of fear in Haley's eyes, and all she could do was go back and sit with Nathan, and wait.

"What are you doing? Here you said that you were going to go with her." Nathan said remembering when he heard Haley ask Brooke in the car.

"I tried, they wouldn't let me." Brooke slumped down into the seat with a sigh. Finally she wasn't around Haley. She didn't have to be strong anymore, and she could cry. And cry and cry and cry. This brought so many bad memories, the ones she buried with alcohol and a bubbly personality. Nathan looked up from his slump position to see those tears streaming down her face. "I'm sorry Nathan. I'm so, so sorry." She wasn't able to look at him.

"What for?" For the life of him he couldn't understand what Brooke Davis had to be sorry for.

"I let this happen."

"Now that you told me what happened, I would like to now what you were doing with this man, Jack you said his name was?" Detective Williams asked, and not once through out the entire conversation had she taken her eyes off the paper she wrote everything down on.

"We went out on a date." She was ashamed to say those words, to admit that she had betrayed her husband, her soul mate.

"It says here that you are married?" Still scribbling meaningless words on to the hideous yellow pad.

"I am, we were taking a break."

"Oh, I see." The detective stated after she heard the unease in Haley's voice. "Well I just would like to let you know that, sadly we don't have much to go on. The hospital said that there was no sign of forced entry. Not only that but no one was around to hear you. I'll try to find something and illput out a report but that's about it.

"Hi" Haley said trying to break her best friend and her husband out of their equally dazing trances. Brooke and Nathan just stared at her. "Lets go home."

A few minutes later Nathan was getting out of the car and walking into his house. He only looked back at the car before he walked through the grand oak doors.

"I was thinking maybe you should go out with Lucas today. Ya know like on a date. I mean I know how you get when you don't get laid in four days." Both girls laughed, as if in agreement.
