Lucas went and met Haley and she questioned, "Where's Brooke."

Lucas answered, "She ditched with Nathan."

Haley puzzled, "Are you okay with that?"

Lucas asked, "Of course why wouldn't I be?" Haley started to wonder what was going on between everyone it seemed there had been a shift in the wind or something.

Meanwhile Nathan and Brooke took a walk along the riverside. Nathan questioned, "So why did you decide to ditch today?"

Brooke answered, "Lucas and I got into a fight, and I needed to get away from him before I said something I might have regretted."

Nathan puzzled, "What was the argument about?"

Brooke went to answer, but she saw Talan walking towards them. Brooke said, "Hey Talan I hear you are leaving today."

Talan spoke, "Yeah that is right and I just need to clear something up before I leave."

Nathan remarked, "There's nothing to clear up."

Talan went and stood directly in front of Nathan and stated, "I think there is. Nathan, Haley and I never dated she only told you that because she was upset about you two breaking up or whatever. So when we got here we thought you two were still dating because she never told us otherwise. Nothing happened between Haley and me."

Brooke was confused about what was being discussed Nathan and Haley dated? Nathan replied, "There's a funny thing why was she upset she broke up with me? She is the one that called it a summer romance. And here's another thing I saw the pictures of you two and they don't lie."

Talan explained, "The pictures you saw was Haley pretending to be my girlfriend because we ran into my ex in Cabo who I wasn't over and I didn't want her to have the satisfaction of her seeing me still pinning over her. We're just friends I wouldn't do something like that to you or any friend."

Nathan puzzled, "So Haley lied about everything?"

Brooke questioned, "You and Haley dated?"

Nathan looked at Brooke who looked slightly hurt. Nathan responded, "It was more of a fling I only dated her really for two reasons. One was because she turned me down, so it was like a challenge for me. Than two I thought it would get you off my mind."

Brooke asked, "Did it work?"

Nathan looked directly at Brooke with a duh look on his face. Nathan remarked, "After everything that we've been through I can't believe you even have to ask."

Talan looked between Brooke and Nathan he realized there was something more going on here. Something bigger than him and Nathan, Talan puzzled, "Do I even want to know?"

Nathan broke eye contact with Brooke and glanced over at Talan. Nathan answered, "Thanks for telling me the truth about everything. Talan you are a good friend even when I acted like a complete ass."

Talan puzzled, "Well isn't that normal for you to act like that?"

Nathan's mouth dropped and Brooke started laughing. Nathan turned back and looked at Brooke he questioned, "You think that is funny?"

Brooke smirked, "I think he's dead on."

Nathan raised his eye brows and asked, "Is that so?"

Brooke puzzled, "What are you going to do about it?"

Nathan started to advance her, but Brooke took off running Nathan picked her up from behind and swung her around in circles Brooke began squealing. Talan watched how well Brooke and Nathan interacted with one another. Talan said, "Well I have to take off man."

Nathan asked, "When does your plane take off?"

Talan answered, "Well we will all be at this restaurant called Hoops Dreams at four for dinner it is in…"

Nathan finished, "Chapel Hill we'll see you there" Talan nodded and waved goodbye to Brooke and Nathan. Brooke smiled at Nathan who smiled back at her.
