"So, what are you going to do about your car?" Broke asked before she took a bite out of her burger.

"I think I'm going to take it to Keith's like Lucas said. If anyone can fix my car, it's Keith." Jake smiled at Brooke. He couldn't stop looking at her; she was just so beautiful. He knew if he continued to stare, at her it would be obvious that he had feelings for her so he looked down at his fries. Karen's Cafe always had the best food in Tree Hill. He moved his foot and hit what he thought was the table. Brooke gave a small jolt.

"Jagielski, are trying to play footsies with me or break my leg?" Brooke looked at him with her big brown eyes. Jake felt his face turn bright red. It wasn't the table's leg it was Brooke's.

"Umm, I'm so sorry Brooke, I didn't mean to..." He nervously apologized.

"Don't worry about it." She smiled. He loved it when she smiled like that, it was real, not like the fake smile she normally wore. That's what he loved about spending time alone with her. She was the real Brooke Davis, not just the pretty cheerleader everyone knew at school.


"Hey Baby." Keith said walking in the door of Karen's Cafe. Karen smiled and gave him a kiss.

"Did you want the usual?" Karen asked. Keith always had meatloaf with a side of mashed potatoes. He smiled.

"If you are the usual then, sure."

"Keith!" Karen blushed a little. She loved him so much.

"Hey Keith!" Brooke said as she and Jake walked to the counter.

"Hey there Brooke! Jake!" He smiled as Brooke waved to Karen.

"Hey Keith, do you think you could help me out. My car dead out and I'm not sure what's wrong with it." Jake asked.

"Sure, I'll have Lucas go over to your house to pick it up later. We can all check it out, sound good?" Keith smiled.


"Hey Nathan!" Dan appeared at Nathan's door.

"Dad, what are you doing here?" Nathan asked.

"I came to see if I can get you to go with me to Keith shop. I'd go by myself but you know your uncle and I don't get along. Plus, Lucas tells me you didn't go to school today. Consider it your punishment if you wish. Spend time with your old man." Dan smiled.

Nathan grabbed his jacket. "Let's go."


Lucas got a call from Keith asking him to go pick up Jake and his car. He made his way to Jake's house. Jake was the first friend Lucas had made when he joined the team. None of the other Ravens would even talk to him. Now, he and Jake hardly ever hung out and if they did whatever they were doing always involved a cute, brown-haired, feisty cheerleader. Lucas knew Jake's feelings, they were obvious to Lucas because he had been there and was still there. Lucas knew well how he felt about Brooke, she was amazing, how could he have ever let her go, much less cheat on her with her best friend. As soon as he reached Jake's house he noticed Jake was already outside.

"Hey Jake, you ready to get your car fixed up?" Lucas said getting out of the truck.


Lucas and Jake reached Keith's body shop in no time. They took Jake's car in and got to work on it. Dan and Nathan arrived a little later.

"Hey Bro, you got time for my car? I need an alignment." Dan asked.

"Yeah, hold on, just let me finish up Jake's." Keith and Dan didn't get along but Keith was the best at cars, he knew everything. "Hey Nate, do you mind bringing in your dad's car and parking it over there so we can get to it next."

"Sure Keith" Nathan did as he was asked. "So what's the problem?" Nathan asked walking over to Lucas, Keith and Jake as they looked over the engine of Jake's car.

"I think we may just have to replace it." Keith answered.

Dan watched them from a distance. There was a lever Nathan had pulled a bit earlier. "Hey, what does this do?" He asked.

Keith looked at him. "Nothing, stay away from that." Keith answered. Dan didn't listen and pulled the lever.

His car went from it's mid air position to falling flat on the concrete.

"Damn it Dan!" Keith said walking over to him. "Are you okay?"

"Of Course, takes a lot more than some stupid car to get the best of me." Dan answered. The boys all watched Keith and Dan.

Keith turned back to them. "Jake, do you mind if I work on Dan's car first so he doesn't end up killing all of us?"

"No problem" Jake replied.

"Oh, and there is something with my starter thing. When the engine turns on it sounds funny." Dan moved to the driver's seat. "See, watch."

"Wait Dan!" BOOM! As soon as Dan started the car there was an explosion in the engine.

"Keith? Nathan? Jake? Dan?" Lucas called. He looked at Dan's car, a fire was quickly taking over the car, burning everything.
