Brooke and Lucas were sitting at a table in Karen's café eating the lunch that they had just ordered.

"Oh, so interesting person is moving into the apartment where that creepy old guy used to live." Brooke said breaking a silence they were having.

"Girl or boy?" he asked her.

"Boy, young blond hair, big muscles and lucky me and Haley he's an ass." Brooke said.

"Oh great, the perfect guy to steal you away from me." Lucas said sighing.

"EW no way!" Brooke said leaning back looking appalled "I would never leave you, the greatest guy in the world by the way, for that stupid dude." Brooke said.

"You just called him a dude." Lucas said.

"Shut up." She reached across the table and hit him on the arm. "Besides I would never cheat on you with any guy." Brooke said looking down because that comment went back to some old memories.

"Brooke…" Lucas started.

"What's in the past is in the past and I would really like it to stay that way." Brooke said and then she looked up and smiled at Lucas "I've moved on." She said.

"I know, and I love you for that because I know I really hurt you." Lucas said.

"Ok can we please not talk about it, let's just finish our food and go to the movie." Brooke said.

"Ok." Lucas said and paused to take another bite of his sandwich "do you want to come to my house tonight?" He asked her after he swallowed.

"What about the lady of the house?" Brooke asked him.

"Assuming your referring to my mom, she's out of town for the weekend. In case you haven't noticed she's not at the café right now." He said.

"Hmm, I hadn't really noticed I just thought she was in the bathroom or something." Brooke said shrugging "um then yeah I'd love to come over." Brooke said.

"Good, are you ready to get out of here?" He asked her.

"Yeah let's go." She stood up from her chair and grabbed Lucas's hand. Lucas left money on the table and started to walk them towards the door.

"Oh shoot!" Brooke said a little louder then she'd meant to because she earned some glances from other people dining. "Oh sorry everyone you can go back to your food." She said waving to them and walking out of the door quickly embarrassed.

"What's wrong?" he asked her.

"I told Haley I'd hang with her tonight, sorry." Brooke said.

"Oh… well that's ok." Lucas said trying to hide his disappointment.

"Hey I promise I'll make it up to you." She said flashing her Brooke Davis smile at him and leaning against him.

"I don't know I mean my mom gets back tomorrow afternoon." Lucas said.

"So I can make it up to you at my apartment and I'll try to kick Haley totally out so we can have the whole place to… roam." She said smiling.

"I guess that will work." He said wrapping his arms around her waist.

"Great." She said and leaned up to kiss him, it was a pretty steamy kiss to say the least.

"What was that for?" He asked her as they pulled apart on the edge of breathlessness.

"An advance, now let's get to that movie Broody." She said grabbing his arm and shoving him forward down the sidewalk.


Haley sat in her bedroom thinking about what she should do in her current situation with Nathan. It seemed too early to give in and call him because she wasn't even sure herself if she would know what to say if she did. She didn't really have anything to say she was just waiting for him to call and apologize to her. She heard a knock at the door.

A few seconds later she was staring at Nathan standing in her doorway.

"Hi." She said without emotion.

"Hey, can I come in?" He asked her.

"Um sure I guess." She looked around and opened the door more for Nathan to enter and shut it after he walked in.

"So I'm obviously here to apologize about last night but I just have to say first that you don't know the whole story." He said.

"This is your way of apologizing? Shows you what you get when Dan Scott is your father." Haley said the last part under her breath.

"Alright can we just leave my father out of this?" He asked her folding his arms over.

"Are you defending your own ass of a father who had not only terrorized you for all the years that you've lived but also tried to rape Brooke at his party?" Haley asked him not believing that Nathan would actually defend this guy.

"No Haley I don't like my dad, ok but he's my dad and I'm sick of everyone saying all this crap about him and blaming him for the mistakes that I make." Nathan said.

"I understand, it's just hard to believe he's your dad sometimes… but other times it's really not like last night for example." She said.

"I am sorry about leaving last night that was inconsiderate of me but Madison sounded like she was about to cry on the phone and you don't know everything that she had told me earlier that day." Nathan said.

"Do you know how it makes me feel when you shut me out of your life? I am your wife Nathan and I think that if you're going to leave me in the middle of the night I deserve some sort of an explanation." She said.

"I'm not going to tell you Madison's life story if that's what you're asking me to do. But I will tell you that it sucked and she had good reason to call me and she had good reason to be insecure and believe it or not Haley she had good reason to kiss me that night." Nathan said.

"Oh really?" Haley said rolling her eyes.

"Yeah really, she did and if you can't understand that then fine but just listen to me when I tell you this. I love you and only you. I would never take Madison over you…" and at that point Haley interrupted him.

"Um you just did last night Nathan." Haley said not getting what on earth he was talking about.

"But you weren't in need that night, I thought you would just stay sleeping and everything would be ok I never meant to make you feel like Madison took priority over you." He said placing a hand on Haley's shoulder which she wanted to move away but decided not to.

"Well it did make me feel that way." She said

"Haley I know that you know I love you, and your just going to have to trust that." Nathan said staring into her eyes searching for her answer.

"Yeah ok I'll try." She said giving him a small smile which he took as a sign to kiss her.

He pulled her close to him and wrapped his arms around her shoulders and kissed her.

"Where's Brooke?" He asked her.

"Out with Lucas." Haley said her face inches away from Nathan's.

"All night?" He asked her again.

"Maybe, let me call her." Haley said taking all her strength and pulling away from Nathan.


Brooke and Lucas were standing in line at the movie theater waiting to get snacks.

"Hmm what do I want?" Brooke asked aloud she was leaning over to the side so that she could see the window with all the candy through all the people.

"No what do I want?" Lucas asked louder pushing Brooke out of the way so he could see.

"Hey, I was looking there." She said pushing him out of her way but since he was stronger he won the little pushing fight of course.

"Not anymore." He said holding her back.

"Lucas Brooding Scott get out of my way." Brooke said looking very stern.

"Or what?" He asked her smiling knowing that he had the upper-hand.

"Or I will never spend the night with you again." Brooke said seeing the situation switch into her hands.

"Nice try but you know you can't last that long." Lucas said, he had felt a brief moment of being beaten but then found his winner statement again.

"Oh whatever." Brooke said and Lucas couldn't help but kiss her cute face. Brooke's phone rang after a few moments. Brooke pulled away from Lucas noticing the looks they were getting from other people watching their flirting.

"Hey tutorgirl." Brooke said happily.

"Um you wouldn't possibly be able to spend the night away from the apartment tonight would you?" Haley asked her and started to laugh because Nathan was tracing his fingers across her hand.

"Are you cheating on Nathan?" Brooke asked her scandalously.

"No Brooke, I'm with him." Haley laughed because Nathan had now moved to nibbling at her ear.

"Oh then no I can totally get lost tonight." Brooke glanced at Lucas and smiled "and can you tell Nathan that he should wait till we're off the phone before making foreplay with you because that's just EW." Brooke said.

"Um, yeah." Haley said "bye."

"Bye girl that tutors and has sex every night." Brooke said and smiled as she hung up before she heard Haley gasp on the other line.

"So that offer from earlier today suddenly sounds amazingly sweet." Brooke said grabbing Lucas's hand.

"Good, you're up next in line." He said pointing the annoyed looking person behind the counter.

"Oh, crap! I don't know what I want." She whined.


Madison sat in her bedroom staring at a blank computer screen trying to write her English paper but having no such luck. She sighed and stared out her window. Tree Hill wasn't the getaway she had wanted when her family had moved here. Sure she had made a good friend in Nathan and sort of in Lucas and she really did like Tim but living here had already caused her and so many other people trouble. Everywhere she went the troubles from her past just seemed to follow her. Maybe Tree Hill just wasn't working out and she needed to try somewhere new. She closed her laptop and ran down the stairs of her house to talk to her mom about this but was distracted when the doorbell rang. Who could that be?

She opened the door to Tim standing in the doorway with a bouquet of flowers in hand.

"Hi Tim." She said surprised, but happily surprised.

"Hello, these are for you." He said holding them out for her.

"Oh my god." She took them into her hands. "This is too sweet." She said "come in let me find something to put these in." she walked in and Tim followed her closing the door behind him carefully. These rich people houses always made him feel uncomfortable.

"There." She said adjusting the flowers in the vase so that they looked right. "Want something to drink, or eat?" She asked him.

"No I'm fine." He said actually looking a little nervous.

"You are definitely not the same Tim I remember when I first came here." Madison said taking a seat at the counter.

"You're not the same Maddie either." He said.

"Yeah I know, but this is the real me that girl you met when I first got here was not." She said rolling her eyes.

"Well I like them both." Tim said.

"Thanks, but um I should probably be honest with you about something." She said.

"Alright shoot." He said.

"So I was just sitting in my room and I realized that Tree Hill isn't where I want to be right now." She said.

"What did your walls give you a spiritual awakening?" He asked her.

"Tim, no I'm just not sure this is where I want to be."

"So are you saying you're going to leave halfway through the year?" He asked her.

"I want to yeah." She answered insecurely.

"come on Maddie, we've got our first away game trip next weekend, we get to stay in a hotel and until you've gone to one of those trips you really haven't gotten the full taste of what Tree Hill high is all about." Tim said.

"I've just caused so much trouble for Brooke, and Haley and Nathan and even Lucas and I'm sick of being the problem. I don't want the attention." She said smiling and leaning her head down against her hand.

"You're not the problem Madison, Steve was the main problem I mean that guy was an ass, your not. And even if you did anything wrong you wouldn't be an ass you'd be a very fine butt." Tim said causing Madison to almost fall out of her chair in laughter.

"Oh my god, with that one line right there you convinced me to stay." Madison said regaining her composure.

"What, I don't get it." He said.

"Tim." She put both her hands on his shoulders "I have to stay because you are one of the most interesting people I have ever met and I so totally love you for that." She said and leaned over to him and kissed him hard on the lips quickly and then pulled away smiling.

"Whatever works for you Maddie." He said shrugging his shoulders.


Brooke and Lucas walked back into Lucas's pitch black house after the movie was over.

"That movie was so sad." Brooke said as Lucas found the lights in his room and turned them on.

"I know you were crying." He said gently grabbing her waist and pulling her towards him.

"Like I said it was sad." She repeated.

"You sure there's nothing else bothering you?" He asked her.

"What am I not allowed to cry when the little girl finds her mother at the end of the movie?" She asked him and he looked down and smiled at her and kissed her sweetly on the lips.

"Ok so maybe I've been thinking a little about Steve and still Dan but it's not a big deal." Brooke said, but even after saying that she couldn't look at Lucas because she felt his eyes pressing into hers.

Lucas took in a deep breath.

"Come here." He said taking her hand and walking her over to the bed.

"mm what are we doing?" She asked him.

"I'm going to take Steve and Dan out of your thoughts." Lucas said "now if you would kindly take your shirt off and lie down on the bed." He said.

"Moving fast tonight." She said raising hey eyebrows.

"Not sex yet." He said.

"I'm confused." She eyed him wearily.

"Just take your shirt off and lie down on your stomach." He said.

"Ok, you're kind of freaking me out though." She said taking her top off and lying down on her stomach like Lucas had asked.

"I promise you'll like this." He said straddling her over her waist.

"Whatever you say broody, it's kind of fun this surprise element." She said laughing into the pillow.

Lucas began massaging her shoulders and all down her back and Brooke let out small moans. He leaned down and kissed up her back till he was close to her ear and whispered "do you like this?" He asked her.

"Are you kidding? It's amazing." She said.

"Good, I aim to please." He said getting back up and massaging her again.


Brooke was walking up to her apartment the next morning coming back from the amazing night at Lucas's night and her spirits were high as ever… soon to be tested.

"Hot walk girl, fancy seeing you here." Travis said smiling at her as the met on thewalkway to Brooke's apartment.

"Um the name's Brooke and not really because we happen to live two apartments away from each other." She said.

"I was just making small talk, your kind of intimidating you know." He said.

"I try." She smiled weakly and walked towards her apartment but Travis blocked her way.

"Is that the way you play the game? Block the girl and get your way because you know I could have you arrested for that." She said smiling.

"I just want to talk to you, and I still want to meet your roommate." He said.

"Right well maybe we can arrange something." Brooke said finally breezing past him

"Really?" He smiled.

"Umm, no actually that would suck. Bye Trevor." She said opening her door.

"It's Travis babe." He said.

"I know and don't call me babe." She said finally before walking into her apartment and closing the door firmly behind her.
