CH16:

The next day both Lucas and Nathan entered Haley's house.

"Hey guys, come in" Haley said opening the door.

"Hey Hales, what's going on?" Lucas asked.

"Well I decided to cook today. So sit and try my food" Haley said, as they followed her in the kitchen. The both sat down. Haley smiled at Nathan and vice-versa, and Lucas noticed.

"So Luke how was you date with Riana?" Haley asked, placing plates on the table.

"Um, boring actually. The girl may be hot but she's clueless. I think you're the smartest girl on the squad" he said.

"Sorry. I thought you guys would hit it off" Haley said, now placing a bowl of spaghetti on the center.

"It's ok" he said, serving himself food.

"Well me and Nate have great news" Haley said, sitting down next to Nathan. Lucas looked at them, quiet.

"We're dating" Haley cheered holding Nathan's hand. Lucas remained quiet, still staring at them.

"Lukas, we're dating" Haley repeated, waiting for a response.

With Peyton…

"We're here Peyton. To our home: Tree Hill" Matt said as they drove past the Arriving Tree Hill Sign. Peyton brightly smiled.

"Dad could you-

"I'm driving there now. Don't worry in 5 minutes will be there" he smiled. Peyton clapped her hands excited.

With Haley…

"What? Since when?" he said loudly.

"Yesterday" Nathan said.

"This is so you Nathan" Lucas said, getting up and walking away. Both Haley and Nathan followed him. confused.

"Lucas, hold up. Why are you mad? You should be happy" Haley said.

"Why Haley? Give me a reason" Lucas asked, crossing his arms.

"Because I like him. Why are you tripping?" she him. She never imagined he react mad.

"He's my brother, that's why. You know how awkward this is now? But you Nathan, this is so typical of you. Just come back and move in with me and mom and take things from me" Lucas spat.

"What are you talking about?" Nathan asked annoyed.

"You come in and move into my room, you take the car that was for me, and now you want Haley. Well you cant have her. She's mine" Lucas said. Haley gasp, and stepped closer to Lucas.

"I'm yours?" Haley hoped she heard wrong.

"Who made you in charge. I can date who I want., when I want. And Haley's my girlfriend, if you like it or not" Nathan loudly said. Lucas looked down and back up at his brother. Haley was still stunned at what Lucas had said.

"What, have nothing to say?" Nathan added.

"Actually yes; stay away from my room and my stuff" he pointed at Haley.

"What the hell is your problem? I'm yours? Your stuff? I'm a human being!" Haley shouted.

"I know, but… He cant have you, your were mine first" Lucas whined. Haley exhaled. Not half a second later the door opened, revealing Peyton. They turned to her. She forced a smile.

"Bad time to surprise I see" she nervously said, watching her friend and two guys pissed off..

"Peyton?…Hold on… First of all Luke, you don't own me, no one does other than myself. And I'm dating Nathan if you like it or not. I'm sorry if this is weird, but we want to be together" Haley said. He shook his head.

"Whatever" he said, leaving the house.

"Nathan, I think you should leave as well, I need to talk to my best friend" Haley said walking to him.

"Ok, I'll call you later" he said, leaning down to give her a peck on the lips and left, saying goodbye to Peyton as well.

"Peyton!" Haley screamed, hugging her. Peyton hugged her.

"What the hell was going on?" Peyton said as they broke away from the hug.

"Lucas said he 'owns' me, and doesn't approve of me and Nathan dating" Haley said.

"What? Who does he think he is?" Peyton asked.

"My 'ruler' obviously" Haley sarcastically said.

"I think he's just jealous" Peyton said, sitting on the couch. Haley joined her.

"Of what?" Haley asked.

"That your slowly replacing him with Nathan, maybe" Peyton said.

"But I'm not. I'm dating Nathan, while other than you, Lucas is also my best friend" Haley said, exhaling.

"Doesn't matter. But tell me, what are you doing here?" Haley asked.

"Actually I was going to surprise you till the end of summer, but I'm moving here. I get to finish my senior year with you" Peyton said excited. Haley looked at her in disbelief.

"Are you serious?" she asked. Peyton nodded. Haley screamed, and hugged her again.

"This is great!" Haley cheered.

"But I don't get it. Why are you here earlier. I thought you were having a awesome time with your aunt" Haley asked.

"Well like you drama follows me too…I really thought I was going to stay there all summer. But yesterday at the middle of the night, my dad woke me up and told me to pack what I can because we were leaving. I ask why. And he ignores me. And in the background I hear my aunt screaming. My dad locked her in a room. After that he screams at me to go inside the rental car. I didn't get to even say bye to her. Then these type of ambulance came, and my dad appeared and we drove off. I asked again what the hell was going on, and he tells me, she has an mental illness, and she needs to be taken care of" Peyton explained.

"Wow. I'm sorry" Haley said, rubbing her arm.

"It's ok. But what about you, going out with Nathan. Damn I should of betted on him" Peyton joked. Haley blushed.

"Where's my money bitch. Well yeah, were going out and I'm happy" Haley smiled.

"That's good, now on to Lucas, what are you going to be doing about him?" Peyton asked. Haley leaned her head on the pillow.

"I honestly don't know. I guess give him time to cool down then talk to him" Haley said.

"No comment" Peyton said. Both chuckled.

"Want to eat? I cooked" Haley said.

"What are we waiting for" Peyton said, as they both walked to the kitchen.
