A/N: Yay Chapter 6:) This is probably the last chapter for today, I have a few one shots I want to type up. But more updates tomorrow!

Disclaimer: I own my ideas, the rest belongs to...well, not me.

"Hi! Welcome to Karen's Café. What can I get you?" A server he didn't recognize asked him. Although it was no surprise he didn't recognize her. He hadn't been here in 4 years.
"Coffee," He muttered, "And my mom."
When the young girl raised an eyebrow at him, he added, "My name is Lucas Scott. I'm Karen's son."
"Oh. Of course." The girl blushed, "I'll find her for you. And one coffee, coming right up."
Lucas nodded as she walked away. She'd barely been gone a minute when Karen came out, coffee in hand. She gave it to her son, a concerned look on her face.
"Hey you." She said, smiling curiously, "Something wrong?"
"Things have changed." Lucas said simply, "And I'm not so sure I like it."
"Things have changed? Or people have changed?" Karen laughed.
"People, I guess." Lucas replied.
"People change, Luke. It's unavoidable. But it's not always a bad thing."
He thought about this for a moment.
"Maybe you're right." He said, setting his half finished coffee on the counter. "Thanks Mom."
He gave her a quick kiss on the cheek, before leaving the café.
"I sure hope I'm right," She whispered, picking up the cup.

There was a knock on the door and Brooke didn't move, figuring Nathan or Haley would answer it. But the doorbell rang so Brooke got up, sighing and throwing the covers off the bed. She grabbed her house coat from beside the bed and went to get the door. The person was in mid knock when Brooke finally swung the door open.
"Mouth!" She exclaimed, throwing her arms around her old friend, so happy to see him.
"Hey Brooke," Mouth smiled as he held her close.
"Come on in." She said, grabbing his hand and pulling him over to the couch.
"How are things?" He asked when they were finally seated.
Brooke shrugged, "Okay I guess."
Mouth simply nodded.
"It's lonely." She sighed, "Nathan and Haley. You and Rachel. Luke and Peyton. Everyone has someone. Except me."
"There is no me and Rachel." Mouth said, "And Lucas and Peyton are over too."
"Wow." Brooke said, raising her eyebrows, "Looks like everyone's pretty single. Nathan and Haley are married, but they aren't even talking. Except for the occasional fight about the fact that Nathan ran away 6 months ago."
"I'm really beginning to think that true love doesn't even exist. So you and Chase called it quits too?" Mouth asked.
Brooke nodded, "He didn't like me flirting with other guys. And I tried to stop, I really did. I would have done anything to be with him. But it wasn't enough for him."
"You're enough for me." Mouth breathed.
"Mouth, I-" But Mouth silenced her, capturing her lips in his. And Brooke didn't mind.

"Hey Brooke, I'm..." But he trailed off hen he saw Brooke and Mouth kissing on the couch, clearly in their own little world.
Nathan laughed to himself, leaving the house once again. If someone had told him 4 years ago that he would EVER see Brooke and Mouth kissing like that, he would have told them they should go check into the mental hospital, see a doctor. He sat down on the steps, having nothing better to do.
"What are you doing out here?"
Nathan looked up, seeing Rachel approaching. He suddenly had a funny feeling in his stomach, knowing that Rachel and Mouth had been pretty close at the end of their senior year.
"Well, I live here. For now anyways." Nathan smiled.
"Oh really?" Rachel said, grinning at him. "So, how's Haley?"
Nathan laughed bitterly, knowing Rachel didn't give a rat's ass how Haley was, but he answered anyways.
"I wouldn't know. She won't talk to me." Nathan sighed.
"Uh oh, what did Tutor's Boy do this time?" Rachel asked.
He rolled his eyes at the dumb nickname. "I left home 6 months ago. I lost my job, and James was acting up and I was just so... confused. I'd had enough. So I took off."
"That sounds like something I would do!" Rachel exclaimed proudly. Nathan ignored the comment and continued his story.
"I ran into Brooke at the funeral, and she suggested I stay here with her but I said no, because I already had reservations at the hotel. Or at least I thought I did. I decided to go to Brooke's and..."
"There Haley was." Rachel finished.
"Yeah." Nathan said slowly.
"Do you still love her?" She asked.
Nathan didn't answer right away. He was trying to figure out if there was a right answer to the question. He started thinking about everything he and Haley had been through. Tutoring, dating, getting married, Haley going on tour, getting married again, the point shaving at the championships, the sex tape, having James. They'd done it all together. But things change. People change. And that's when Nathan decided there was no right answer, so he kissed Rachel.

Naley fans, please don't kill me. And don't give up on the story either. You'll get your Naley eventually, trust me. Let me know what you think:)
