And he saw Brooke standing in the rain, she looked like she was in shock, and this scared him a little bit, because this reminded him of the time that he found Haley, and she was not okay. Lucas got out of his truck and ran over to Brooke. "Brooke what happened?" he asked her, he was concerned about her not matter the status of their relationship, he held onto with both of his hands and looked up into his eyes. And that is when she lost it, looking into Lucas Scott's eyes. "Brooke, you are worrying me. Please tell me what is going on."

"Peyton, Haley, they are not okay."

"Neither are you, let's go inside and get you dry."

"No, no…no we can't, we have to go."

Lucas put a hand on her cheek because she kept looking away, "Brooke where do we have to go?"

"Haley is gone, Luke."

"What are you talking about Brooke? Where did she go?"

"She left," was all she said, she couldn't even look up into those eyes, his eyes, it was just too hard. She knew that he was concerned about her and that meant a lot, but for the fact that he was concerned was because he was a good guy, and that is what got her the worst.

"Where Brooke?" he tried by adding intensity to his voice, he was concerned about his best friend.

"I tried to help her, I tried, but she was in so much pain. I tried Luke."

"I know you did Brooke," with that Brooke put a hand on Lucas' chest to support herself, because she swore she was going to collapse. Lucas put his arms around her, embracing her because he knew that is what she needed.

Brooke only allowed him to hold her for one quick minute, even though she was weak right now, she couldn't let herself do this right now. She felt the safest in his arms but now was not the time; she was not the one in need right now.

"Luke, did you hear that ambulance?"

"Yeah, it seemed really close," he didn't think much of it but then looked into her eyes again, and knew there was something more.

"Peyton was in it. Haley left, I couldn't stay, I couldn't stop her. So I went for a walk. It started to rain so I came back. When I came back I saw your mom holding Peyton's hand as they rolled her out on a gurney. I don't know what happened, she was hurt, Luke. She is in pain. Haley is in pain. And there is nothing that I can do about it."

"We will Brooke, don't you worry."

"We?"

"You didn't think I was going to leave you alone, did you?"

She shook her head no, "Your mom is going to call when she finds something out. She told us that we needed to find Haley. I don't know where she is or where she went, or if she is even coming back. All I know is she said that all she has found here was heartbreak. And she didn't want to feel it anymore."

"We will find her; I won't stop until we do."

"Luke, I am really worried about her."

"I know you are, so am I," he said trying to hurry up the process.

Brooke stopped him though, bringing him up to date with reality, "Luke, she hasn't been eating, she is losing weight. She thinks that Peyton has taken a drastic path to deal with her pain. But she is taken one as well. We have got to find her, or we are going to lose her."

"Not under my watch, let's go," he said leading her into his truck.

Haley was distraught and she found herself wandering, alone in the rain. She wanted to walk until it didn't hurt anymore, hoping to walk away the pain somehow. Nevertheless the more she walked, the more that she realized the reasoning behind the walking in the rain in the first place. She was lost, physically, mentally, emotionally. She had no idea where she was going until she looked up and saw where her feet had taken her. It was the same place she walked away from two months ago, the same place that housed the keeper of her heart, and the same place she lost who she was. Her feet got her to the door, and her hand pressed the doorbell, the she was brought back into reality when the door opened and she could swear she was experiencing déjà vu.

None other then Dan Scott opened the door. He saw Haley standing there, drenched, and he was surprised that the weakling still had it in her. He had to admit, Haley looked awful, she was thinner, bags under her eyes, not the Haley that he once saw. "We already bought our Girl Scout cookies," he went to close the door but Haley put her hand out to stop it.

"I need to talk to my husband."

"Husband? Are you sure you can still call him that?"

"This is none of your business, just let me talk to Nathan and I will be out of your hair, or should I saw toupee," she had to try, somehow.

"Are you here to apologize?" he said allowing that last comment to go, "because if you aren't go back where you came from little girl."

"He broke my heart, my heart," she said placing her hand over where her heart once beat. "If he can put back together the million little pieces then I will apologize for following my dream. But until then my heart is too weak."

"Then why are you here?"

"I am leaving Tree Hill, this time I thought that I would tell him."

"Am I on Candid Camera, where is the camera?" he said mockingly looking around.

"Very funny. I know you are happy. This is what you wanted all along. And just to let you know, this time I do not plan on coming back. I am out of his life," as she said that the weakness took over, and she fell backwards. Dan Scott actually reached out and grabbed her arm balancing her; did he really have a heart? No. "My son does not like anorexics."

Haley shook off his hold of her, "I have no idea what you are talking about," completely oblivious to her own weight loss, "But if Nathan isn't here, just tell him I am sorry but my heart is too weak to break anymore. Tell him I said goodbye." Then it hit her, "You aren't really going to tell him," she backed up, "it was a mistake to come here. Goodbye Mr. Scott."

She turned around but Mr. Scott called out to her, but she didn't turn around, she just kept walking into the day of rain.

Brooke and Lucas had been driving around for awhile and no words had been spoken, all they did was concentrate on the world around them. "She has got to go home at one point, right?"

"What happens if she has been there already?"

"We can't say anything until we check."

Karen has been in the waiting room for over an hour and she had heard absolutely nothing. She was worried about Peyton, but she could not get Haley off her mind. Nor could she get Brooke's face, her scared face, out of her mind either. Her thoughts were interrupted though, "Karen Roe?"

"That's me," she said turning around to face the doctor, "How is Peyton?"

"She is actually doing a lot better for someone in her position."

"So she is okay?"

"Yes ma'am. She does have a broken arm, and a slight concussion. But Ms. Roe, for what she has gone through, she is very fortunate. I can see you are worried, but she is going to be fine, we just want to observe her a little further, and you can take her home if you would like."

"Can I see her?"

"Of course, her boyfriend is with her now."

Karen did not think that she heard him right, "excuse me, did you say boyfriend?"

"Yeah, he has been really worried about her."
