Brooke waited on her doorstep; Nathan was ten whole minutes late. Brooke hated it when he was late, some how hanging out with Nathan had become kind of her normal thing now, it was like waking up and going to sleep.

"Hey Cutie," Nathan said running up to her, in an attempt to get a smile. Nathan and Brooke flirt like mad, but never actually professed feelings or anything.

Brooke grunted, as she got up and started walking.

Nathan smiled as he followed her, "Ok I'm sorry, I lost track of time,"

Brooke smiled, "Alright fiiinee"

"See, there's that pretty smile, I get up to see everyday,"

Brooke rolled her eyes, and laughed.

Lucas opened his door to find Haley there, she looked like she had just cried, "What's wrong Haley?" he asked concerned.

"Oh god I feel so dumb, I just woke up and started crying, I don't know what's wrong with me… how am I suppose to get over Nathan, when I still cry over him,"

"Haley, don't cry, I told you, he'll be back with you in no time,"

Haley walked forward and hugged him, "Lucas, I just don't know anymore,"

"Haley-…" Lucas said in a soothing voice as he patted her back.

Haley look up at him, "Lucas thank you so much, I don't know what I would do without you, you're always there for me,"

Lucas was about to nod, when Haley crushed her lips against his.

Lucas's eyes opened in shock.

Then just as quickly Haley backed away from him, "Oh my god, I can't believe I did that, I'm so sorry-…"

"It's ok-…"

"No, I don't know what's wrong with me, I'm sorry, that was not suppose to happen, we're such good friends, I'm so sorry,"

She mumbled as she turned and ran.

Lucas watched after her,confused.

Nathan and Brooke were sitting in the mall, well the food court, with a drink in hand.

"Nathan, um, ok, well I have to tell you something,"

"Uh huh," Nathan asked, as he squished the can with his hands and shot it in the garbage bin behind her, basketball style.

"I'm going to go visit my parents for awhile,"

Nathan looked up at her, "What, when?"

"Like tomorrow morning,"

"What, why so soon,"

"Nathan, they're my parents, and it's only for the weekend,"

Nathan pouted, "But it's the summer break, I'll have nothing to do,"

Brooke laughed, "Haha, as if I'm your only friend,"

"Your one of my hottest friends," Nathan whined.

Brooke laughed, and rolled her eyes again, "Your one of my… hmm… uh…"

"Brooke," Nathan whined, smiling.

"C'mon little baby, lets go," she said as she threw away her can and pulled Nathan up.

Lucas walked over to Haley's house, and knocked on her door. Haley opened it sadly.

"Look Lucas, about earlier-…"

"Forget about it,"

"No, what I did was weird, and I'm sorry, I don't want that to effect our friendship in any way, I love Nathan, and the fact that you wanted to help me get him back, I guess…"

"Don't worry Haley, I get it"

Haley nodded, "Well I'll see you tomorrow then,"

Lucas nodded as well, not liking the uncomfortable silence, and decided to just leave.

Brooke woke up the next morning, and packed a few clothes. Then she went out on her porch and waited for Nathan to come say bye like he promised to.

She waited for him, even when the taxi came and waited for her to enter, the man stared at her annoyed.

Finally Brooke sighed, and threw her bag in the back. She opened the taxi to go in when Lucas ran up to her.

"Brooke wait," he panted.

Brooke turned around and smiled at him.

"Sorry I was late, I got here as fast as I could, cause I woke up late,"

"It's okay," Brooke smiled, feeling guilty that she forgot that she told him she was going and wasn't really waiting for him, but was glad he was here.

She gave him a hug, "See you when I get back,"

He nodded, as she got in, and looked back once hopefully, maybe Nathan would come too. But he didn't…

Nathan got up, rubbing the sleep out of his eyes. He went into the bathroom and brushed his teeth, and got dressed.

"Mom, my breakfast," he yelled, as he picked up his comb, "I have to meet Brooke-…"

That's when it hit him, "Oh Shit, BROOKE" Nathan got on his bed, and rolled to the other side and picked up his alarm clock.

"Holy-…"

Nathan jumped off his bed and ran out the front door, ignoring his mom. 'Shit, his car was in the garage and his dads car was behind his. He knew it would take too long, so he decided to run. He ran as fast as he could, hoping he didn't miss her.

He saw Brooke's house, as he ran up to see a taxi driving away.

'Damn,'

He picked up his speed, but the car had already turned out of the street.

"Shit," He cussed out loud, and then noticed Lucas standing there as well.

"Aw Shit," Nathan muttered angrily, 'Lucas had saw her off, and he wasn't there, that was much worse,'

Nathan turned and started to walk away.

"Brooke loves me, Nathan," Lucas yelled out to him.

Nathan turned around, "Haha you wish she still liked your custy ass,"

"I saw it in her eyes, when I came to see her off, the love that I always saw there for me,"

"Why don't you fuck off," Nathan said as he turned around again.

"Nathan I know why you hang out with her, you just hope to get lucky with her,"

That's when Nathan had enough, and he turned back and walked up to Lucas, shoving him hard, causing him to fall to the ground, "Fuck you Lucas, she's my friend, and just so you know Lucas, people can have friends, unless friends to you means people you want to get lucky with,"

Lucas looked up at him angrily, as he got up and shoved Nathan equally as hard, but Nathan was ready for this, so it only caused him to get pushed back, but he kept he kept himself balanced.

"People can have friends, not you though, you're not like other people, you hurt Haley, one mistake and she's out eh Nathan? Isn't that how it is with you, if you really loved her, then you would have gave her a chance,"

"My relationship with Haley is none of your business, and is Haley all that matters to you, did you forget how badly you hurt Brooke, and she gave you another chance, look what that's done for her?"

"Oh Fuck you, your just jealous because you know that Brooke doesn't like you the way she likes me, I saw how happy she was when she saw me, so Nathan, if you are hoping to have a romantic thing with Brooke, you can forget it, cause she doesn't think of you that way,"

With that Lucas turned and walked away. Nathan stood there, his face hot with anger.
