Brooke woke up the next morning to hear a whole lot of yelling.

"Brooke, Get your slutty ass up,"

Brooke opened her eyes to see a fuming Haley. Brooke sighed, 'she had the spare,'

Brooke knew she had to deal with Haley sooner or later, so she did as she was told, she sat up.

Haley had tears in her eyes, "How could you Brooke? How could you do that to me, we we're friends!"

"Haley-…" Brooke started but to be cut off.

"No, don't open your mouth unless it's to tell me why the hell your doing this to me? You know I love Nathan and still want to be with him, and yet you go and share saliva with him last night! I had first suspected that you two were getting close, but I made myself believe that you were my friend and wouldn't do something like that to me, but I guess I was wrong, sluts don't think about friends before they go and make out with their boyfriends, wait… unless they don't have friends,"

"You done?" Brooke asked simply.

"Yes, now it's your turn to tell me why you're such a slut to do that to me, you know how much I love him!"

"Haley, Lucas cheated on me again-…"

Haley cut in again, "I don't want to hear your sob story," she muttered bitterly, she knew she was being mean, but couldn't help it, she was so angry with the girl across her.

"Ok Fine! I'll just get to it then, after everything that happened, everything that Lucas and Peyton did to me, did you once come talk to me? Ask me how I was? Try to comfort me?" Brooke asked coldly.

At this Haley looked down sheepishly, "It's cause-…"

"No Haley, I don't want to hear your bullshit right now, you didn't, not once! But you did go around with Lucas, the man that tore my heart apart, and you knew how much that hurt me, you saw how hard it was for me to trust him again, and not only that, you even talked to Peyton last night, but you didn't give two shits about how I felt, did you?"

"Its cause you were with Nathan and-…"

"Oh, so you were embarrassed to come to me in front of Nathan, cause as far as I remember your never embarrassed to shamelessly try to beg Nathan to come back to you,"

"You didn't come to us either,"

"Oh so now I'm suppose to come with my broken heart to you, and you stuck to Lucas like crazy glue, so you expected me to come to you and him to talk?"

"I'm sorry, I wasn't a good friend, but you and Nathan-…"

"Me and Nathan what? Nathan was the only one that tried to help me through my pain, and maybe if you cared enough and helped me through my time, I wouldn't have gotten so close to Nathan, and I'm sorry Haley, but I really do like him,"

"What your doing is no different then what Peyton-…"

"Don't you even dare! Don't you dare try to compare me to Peyton, what she did was sleep with another women's man- and not just any women's, her best friends man, I didn't sleep with Nathan, and even if I did, or do, he made it very clear that he doesn't want to be with you, as for friends, I don't think someone that doesn't give two shits about me, didn't once come to comfort me in my pain, well she's no friend of mine," Brooke whispered bitterly.

Haley's eyes dropped to the ground, the tears running down her face. Brooke's heart broke, "Haley I'm sorry, I know how your feeling right now, I do, I think I really care about him, but I promise you, I won't be with him if theirs any chance that he wants to work it out with you,"

Haley looked up at Brooke, "Brooke I'm sorry that I didn't come, I guess I was so mad that Nathan was spending so much time with you, that I… well I got jealous and angry, and … I'm sorry,"

"It's okay, but honestly, it hurt like hell that you took Lucas's side-…"

"I didn't take his side, I do care about you, its just that you and Nathan, well…" she trailed off.

"I'm not going to lie to you, I think there is defiantly something there, but I promise not to act upon in until you get to talk to Nathan,"

"Talk to me about what," Nathan asked as he entered the house.

They both looked at him, "Sorry, it was open," he said, he had a black eye, and a few other bruises.

"It okay," Brooke nodded, then she looked at Haley, "I'm going to go and get us something to drink, you two talk,"

Before Nathan could say anything Brooke quickly left, she went into the kitchen. 'What if he and Haley get back together?' Brooke thought, feeling her heart sink, 'what kind of person am I? I don't want my friend to work it out with the man she loves? But, I think that I could really love him too; I don't want to give him up? What do you mean give him up, he was never yours.' Two sides and emotions of Brooke fought with each other, as the pair inside talked.

"Um Hi," Haley mumbled nervously.

"Hey," Nathan replied.

"Nathan, can I ask you a question,"

Nathan nodded.

"Do you still care about me?"

Nathan sighed and stood up, "Haley, of coarse I still care about you, you meant a lot to me at one time, I'm not a machine that I can turn my feelings off and on,"

Haley's eyes lightened up, she opened her mouth to say something-…

"But…" Nathan empathized, "I don't love you, and don't want to be with you like that,"

Haley's heart broke into a million pieces, and it was evident on her face the pain she was going through.

"Haley, I don't want to hurt you, cause I really do care about you," Nathan said quickly as he came closer to Haley, bringing her into a hug, "You will always have a place in my heart, and your one of my greatest friends, and I can do just about anything for you. Girl, you're the most caring, sweet, loving girl I've ever met, and I love you for that, but in the friends way, I don't want to ever lose you as a friend," Nathan whispered into her hair as he kissed her forehead.

Haley hugged Nathan tight, "Thanks Nathan, you're a great person,"

"Haha, tell other people that, they'd laugh at you,"

Haley giggled, "Can I ask you another question,"

"Shoot,"

"Do you love Brooke?"

Nathan thought about that, "I don't know, it's confusing, I don't think I love her, but honestly its Brooke Davis you know, me and her, were like the same people, and plus she's so hung over my brother,"

Haley nodded, "Well I guess then I'm glad for you guys, listen Nathan, I really got to run now, I promised a friend to meet them somewhere,"

"Ok, see you later," Nathan said as she left.

"Broooke, you took an awfully long time with those drinks," he teased, as he traveled to the kitchen.

Brooke was sitting on the counter as Nathan came in and took a pop from the fridge.

"So… you guys talked," Brooke asked, trying to make it sound casual, but there was a bit of urgency to her voice that Nathan caught.

"Yea," Nathan shrugged, looking away so she couldn't see him smile.

"Oh,"

Brooke tapped her fingers on the counter, she didn't want to seem like she really cared, but she didn't get why she did really care.

"So… um, what did you guys talk about?"

"She wants to get back together," Nathan said simply.

"Oh,"

Again there was a silence that made Brooke uncomfortable.

"What about you?" she asked softly as Nathan drank from the can.

"What about me?" Nathan asked.

"I… I mean like… just that what do you…. I mean to say is-…"

Nathan smiled, "I refused Brooke,"

"Oh,"

Brooke felt that awkward silence wash over them again.

"About yesterday-…"

"What about yesterday?"

"Nathan!"

"Ok," Nathan laughed, "The kiss was two drunk teenagers that found it amusing to kiss," Nathan said simply, afraid she'd tell him what a mistake it was, and how she loves Lucas. Nathan didn't think his ego would be able to take it.

Brooke felt something shatter inside her, "Of coarse it was a mistake," she said quickly, hearing the words come out of her, in a voice that even she could tell was a lie, but apparently he didn't catch it.

"Good, plus that would be weird, I mean seriously weird… me and you… Nathan and Brooke …no that would be weird… right?" Nathan asked, knowing how weird he sounded.

"Uh yea, of coarse,"

Brooke and Nathan stood there in an awkward silence.

"So you want to forget about this, and just go out as friends, you know to that café around the corner,"

Brooke nodded, grateful for the opening from the uncomfortable position.

"Okay, lets go,"

Brooke and Nathan got in the car, and pretty soon they were back to their joking and teasing ways, the kiss in both their minds.

Haley rushed to the table Lucas was sitting at, "I'm so sorry that I'm late," she explained.

"Nah, its cool, don't worry, I just needed someone to talk to," he muttered nursing his jaw with a bag of ice.

"Oh god, that looks bad,"

"I know," Lucas snapped.

"Sorry," Haley laughed, "Ok so how are you,"

"I feel just about the same as I look, honestly I couldn't get Brooke's crying face out of my mind,"

"Yea, last night was pretty bad,"

"I don't know, I didn't mean to start a fight, its just when I saw them kiss, something inside me snapped, and I couldn't take it, I wanted to snap Nathan in half,"

"Yea, it hurt, now that was something that I would have never imagined to happen, Nathan and Brooke?"

Just then, they saw a laughing shoving Brooke and Nathan enter the café, they both looked at them, as they pushed and shoved playfully, laughing and grinning at each other.

"Oh god, Lucas don't do anything," Haley muttered quickly when she saw him start to get up.

"I wont, I just want to talk to Brooke,"

Before Haley could say anything, Lucas walked up to the laughing pair…
