Nathan sighed, as he fell on the couch turning on the TV, it seemed like that's all he ever did now a days, since that day…

He had missed Brooke so much, and he hated it. Why did he miss her so much, she caused him so much pain, so much damn pain!

He hated her and Lucas for what they did to him. They stabbed him in the back.

Why were the girls he always loved so unfaithful to him? What was wrong with him, he knew that he was a horrible boyfriend to Peyton, but he had learned from that, and was the best he could be, the idle boyfriend to Haley, and then Brooke.

Nathan groaned in frustration, 'he can't keep thinking about that, it only leads to him feeling depressed all day,'

The only bright thing in his life was Haley, who was there for him, and always knew how to make him feel happy.

Nathan picked up the phone, and dialed the familiar number.

"Hello," He heard Haley's soft voice greet.

"Hey Hales, its me Nathan,"

"I know your voice Nathan, you don't have to tell me," she laughed.

Nathan smiled, "Listen, I was thinking, you want to go to the coffee house near the beach for… coffee,"

"Sure,"

Nathan walked over to Haley's place as she walked down her porch steps. She smiled brightly at him, "Let's go,"

Nathan and Haley arrived at the café, as Nathan ushered her to the table they always sat at.

Nathan moved to the side, motioning Haley to sit first, she giggled, "Why what a gentlemen,"

Nathan chuckled as he bowed at her. Nathan liked spending time with Haley; it helped him keep his mind off Brooke.

"Hold on, I'll go get our coffee," Nathan said, excusing himself as he got up.

As he walked over to the counter, he heard his phone ring, looking down as he bumped into someone.

Nathan lost his balance, and couldn't regain it as the floor was freshly mopped, and he felt himself going down, his hand quickly tried to grab at something and he felt his hand clasp around an arm as he ended up pulling that person down on top of him.

"I'm so sorry-…" Nathan started to apologize, but stopped when he looked up at the shocked eyes.

"Brooke," Nathan whispered, forgetting the surrounding, lost in her gaze.

Brooke couldn't speak, she had longed to be so close to Nathan, now she was on top of him and she couldn't find it in her to get up.

He didn't seem to be complaining either, as their eyes locked.

That's when Brooke realized, no matter how much she tried, she would never care for someone the way she did with Nathan. Though she went out with Lucas, she couldn't replace Nathan, she never could, nor would she ever forget him. So much seemed to pass between the two, even though it was only mere seconds, the magnetic pull that always there. Both of their hearts racing ten times its normal beat.

Nathan cleared his throat, as Brooke felt the blush rise up in her cheeks, a deep shade of pink, quickly getting up off of him.

When they were both up, they stood their awkwardly, both feeling the electricity that passed through them.

Brooke rapidly mourned the loss of Nathan's strong arms around her waist.

Nathan couldn't deny it; he missed her like crazy, and missed the feeling of having her so close.

"Brooke I-…" But before Nathan could finish, he was interrupted.

"Baby, what's taking you so long?" Lucas said, coming up behind Brooke and putting his arm around Brooke's waist.

Nathan's jaw clenched.

Brooke looked at Nathan miserably.

Lucas smiled at Nathan, "Whatup Bro?"

Nathan shook his head in disgust, he was right!

Nathan turned to walk away, but Brooke grabbed Nathan's arm, "Nathan wait-…"

"Just leave me alone," Nathan said weakly, too tired to fight it anymore. He snatched his arm away.

Nathan walked back to his table, Haley stood up in concern, when she saw the miserable look on his face.

"What's wrong Nathan," she asked worried.

Nathan pulled her into a hug, "I feel… like nothing," he muttered.

Brooke watched as he embraced Haley and felt her heartbreaking. She pulled away from Lucas and went to the counter, where her friend stood, the one that had taken that picture of her and Nathan at the beach that time.

She watched them teary eyed, as Nathan grabbed Haley's hand, and they walked out of there.

"Wow, he's so upset, you've really hurt him Brooke," her friend said, following Brooke's gaze.

"What could I do? He started dating Haley and I-…"

"What? What are you talking about? He's not going out with Haley,"

"What!" Brooke turned to her friend in shock.

"Yeah, they come here often, trust me, they are not going out,"

Brooke moaned, now Nathan will never believe her, since she got together with Lucas, the guy he accused her of loving, she had made a BIG mistake…

A/N Don't be mad, at least now she knows what the mistake was, and can hopefully fix it… who knows…? I know you guys really want Brathan, but then where's the drama? You don't want me to just put them together and end the story do you? You guys don't want the story to end, right… (Puppy eyes) REVIEW! …please :)
