A/N: Okay, so here's Chapter 7. Chapter 8 has been written, so it should be up sometime today. Enjoy!

He found himself on her doorstep once again, ringing that doorbell. He heard her walk down the stairs and he was nervous as hell. The door swung open and he wasted no time. The moment he saw her he kissed her. And to his surprise she didn't pull away. His hands found their way to her waist, pulling her closer and she hung her arms around his neck, deepening the kiss. It was then she realized where they were so she broke away, grabbing his hand and pulling him inside. They stood there, watching each other, Lucas gazing into Peyton's eyes, slightly dazed.

"I told you I was going to love you forever. And I'm going to." Peyton smiled, "Are you going to love me back this time?"
"Forever." Lucas nodded.
Peyton bit her lip, wondering if this was the truth but at this moment she didn't care. All she wanted was to kiss him and forget all that had happened before. And so she did.

"Haley?"

Haley turned, trying to find the person who had called her name, and there he was. Chase Adams walking up to her. She'd never noticed how gorgeous he was before. Probably because she had always loved Nathan. But now, well. She wasn't so sure how she felt about him now. She set James down, taking his hand once again.

"Hey Chase." She smiled, and that's when it hit her. Chase, the man who had broken Brooke's heart.
"How's it going?" He asked.
"Not so great." She sighed, thinking about some of the things she'd said to Nathan.
Chase raised his eyebrows.
"Long story. Nathan and I aren't exactly...getting along." Haley said, "What about you and Brooke? What happened there?"
Chase sighed, "I got jealous. Or at least that's what I told her. I was really just scared, I guess. I just loved her so damn much, I was afraid of getting hurt again."
"And so you hurt her instead? You damn Tree Hill guys are clueless. Brooke would NEVER have hurt you. EVER!" Haley exclaimed, "Look, let's cut to the chase. Do you want her back?"
Chase nodded slowly, slightly taken aback by Haley's outburst.
"Then let's go, before it's too late." Haley said before beginning to walk down the street with James.
Chase simply stood there, unsure of what he was supposed to be doing.
Haley turned to look back at him.
"Well are you coming or not?" She asked frustratedly.
Chase nodded and quickly ran off after Haley and James.

They broke apart in time to see the hurt faces that surrounded them. Haley, James and Chase had just rounded the corner, and the front door of the apartment opened as Brooke and Mouth were just about to leave, Mouth's arm wrapped around Brooke's waist.

There was Haley, watching Nathan, her husband kiss another woman. And not just any other woman. The woman that had once tried to break up their marriage. The scum that she had once slapped. What right did Rachel Gatina have to be kissing her husband? This was the last straw. She had been nice to her, one too many times. Rachel Gatina was a dead bitch walking.

There was Chase who was trying to pretend he didn't see trying to pretend he didn't see how close Mouth was standing to Brooke. To the girl HE loved. He had never really known Mouth but now he hated the guy. The guy who was ruining his chances of winning Brooke back. Mouth was supposed to love that Rachel girl, the one that had just kissed Haley's husband. Oh dear, how complicated this gets.

There was Mouth watching the lips he had once kissed, touching someone else's. Sure he had just done the same thing, but that was different. He hadn't done it in front of her, and she didn't even care about him anymore, right? But she could at least have the decency to not do it on a front porch in mid day.

There was Brooke and Nathan who saw Haley and Chase both holding one of James' hands and thinking how they looked like the perfect little family that everyone dreams about having. Nathan was furious. He didn't want Chase touching his son. That was his son, not Chase's. Chase had no right to be standing that close to James, or Haley for that matter. But it was then that Nathan realized that he had just been kissing another woman, so he couldn't say much. And Brooke, well she just hated Chase for leaving her in the first place.

And there was Rachel. She saw Mouth's arm around Brooke and she just about died. She was ready to rip every hair on that slut's pretty little head out. But then she looked back at Nathan. Everything she'd ever wanted, and right now it looked like she had him, so why did it feel so wrong?
