A/N: So here's Chapter 8. This is the last one I already have written, so it may take longer to update, because I also have to figure out what's going to happen. :D
Anyways, hope you enjoy!

Neither of them could find the words to say to the other, so they simply sat in silence for a long while. He watched her as she bit her lip, thinking about what had just happened.
"Come here." She said finally and he did as he was told. Their lips crashed together for a few seconds, before she pulled away.
"I love Chase." She confessed nervously.
"I love Rachel." He sighed thankfully.
They both laughed for a few moments, realizing how stupid this all was.
"So there's only one way to get them back." Brooke said simply.
"And what would that be?" Mouth asked curiously.
He listened intently as Brooke told him of her plan and he quickly agreed. It was the only way.
Nathan felt terrible as he watched Haley walk away. He saw the tears flood her eyes and fly to the ground as she turned her head, hiding the hurt on her pale face and running away as fast as her feet could carry her and little James. Chase too seemed hurt, but Nathan hadn't the faintest clue why at first. But soon enough it hit him. Seeing Brooke and Mouth together. He obviously still loved Brooke. But he knew Haley was more hurt than Chase would ever be. Brooke and Chase weren't married. Chase glared at Nathan for a moment before turning to run after Haley, knowing she was completely devastated. Nathan sighed, knowing that things had been screwed up enough without him kissing Rachel. But now, Haley might never forgive him and he didn't know if he could handle that.
He turned to face Rachel who had simply sitting beside him complete silence since they had first kissed. She looked at him and she just seemed lost.
"Nathan." She whispered.
"Don't worry about it." Nathan shook his head, turning away from her and standing up but she grabbed his hand and he looked back down at her.
"You're all I ever wanted you know?" Rachel said, smiling at him.
Nathan sighed, sitting back down beside her and opening his mouth to reply, but she cut him off.
"And I would have done anything to have look at me like you look at Haley. I know you love her, and I know you love James. So do the right thing, and get them back."
Nathan stared at Rachel like she had three heads, wondering how she had changed so much in these 4 years.
"There's a time in your life, when you realize who matters, who never did and who always will." Rachel said in response to the look Nathan was giving her. She then gave him one last hug, before walking away.
Haley collapsed into his arms, only seeking comfort. She was living her worst nightmare. Nathan really didn't care about her or James. The past 4 years had changed everyone and everything they had once known, and Haley didn't think she liked it.
"Haley, there has to be an explanation for all this." Chase said, images of Brooke and Mouth, flashing in his mind.
"Yeah there is. The explanation is that Nathan is a stuck up selfish ass just like his dad and Rachel is a dumb husband stealing bitch, just like I always said." Haley screamed.
Chase sighed, "How about I watch James for a couple of hours and you go sort things out. Talk to Nathan, or Lucas. Or just go get some ice cream, whatever you need to do. I'll take James back to Brooke's."
Haley thought about this for a moment before finally agreeing. She had looked after James for 6 months straight, she could use a break. So James took Chase's hand and she went to do what she knew she had to.
Peyton had fallen asleep on the couch, her head against Lucas' chest. Lucas was wide awake, playing with Peyton's curly, blonde hair. Suddenly, the phone rang and not wanting it to wake Peyton, he grabbed it quickly.
"Hello?" He squeaked.
"Why haven't you called me yet, Peyton?"
It couldn't be... Lucas thought. But it was. Jake Jagielski was calling Peyton. HIS Peyton. And what was funnier was Jake actually thought he was talking to Peyton.
"I...uhm...fell asleep." Lucas answered in the most Peyton-esque voice he could manage.
"Oh. I guess that's okay. So, I was wondering if I could take you out on Friday?"
Lucas almost exploded, but somehow regained his composure, "Uhm, no. Sorry. I'm busy."
"Oh." Jake said, clearly upset by the answer.
"Look, I'm really sorry, but I have to go, um, wash my hair." And he hung up the phone before Jake could say anymore.
He sighed, looking down at her. He was going to have a long discussion with her when she woke up.
