Brooke was sound asleep when Peyton walked in around 12:30 in the morning.

"B-davis you sleeping already?" Peyton giggled.

"Were you with Matt again!" Brooke shrieked.

"And what if I was?"

"Peyton this is the fourth night in a row."

"Yeah, he's really awesome Brooke. Tomorrow he is taking me out again." Peyton couldn't help but smile. It seems like the first night she went out with Matt she had been smiling none stop. He was really smart and funny. Every time he would smile Peyton felt weak in the knees.

"Details Peyton!"

"Well.." Peyton started. She and Brooke stayed up for hours talking about him. Peyton was really starting to be happy again. This guy really made her happy. Finally Peyton could look on life and enjoy it.

Lucas rolled out of bed the next morning and wiped his eyes. He hadn't got much sleep last night. He and his mom were still fighting. She hadn't really talked to Keith or Lucas since she yelled at them for keeping that secret from her. He walked to see his mom and Keith talking in the kitchen. She had tears in her eyes, and he knew she was mad so he didn't want to distract them. He just dressed and went out his door.

He decided to go for a run and wound up at Brooke and Peyton's place. He showed up and saw Peyton getting in a car with a unfamiliar guy. He watched them leave and knocked on the door.

Brooke answered, Lucas could see how tired she was by her facial expression.

"Rough night?" he laughed.

"Shut up." she smiled kissing him.

"Where's Peyton's dad? I haven't seen him around in a while." Lucas asked.

"He got another boat job. He is only going to be away for a couple of weeks."

"Lucky for me." he laughed.

"Whys that?"

"Do you have any idea how hard it is to realize your girlfriend is living with her hot dad fantasy."

Brooke just started to burst out laughing and then started to yawn.

"Um sorry to bore you."

"No, its not you Peyton kept me up all night talking about her new guy."

"Is that who I saw her getting in the car with?"

"Yep that's the one. Total hottie. I'd like to take some credit for that one." she smiled.

"That's my girl."

Brooke smirked.

"So get ready, lets go out." he smiled.

"Oh and where to?"

"Movie? Or do I have to worry about you falling asleep."

"Shut up, I'll be ready in about 20 minutes." She was about to walk upstairs and then she kissed him. She started walk away when he pulled her arm and continued kissing her. He grabbed her head and she reached down and pulled off his shirt. The slowly wound up laying on the ground when he unbuttoned her pants.

"I love you Brooke." he smiled taking off her shirt and kissing her neck making her giggle.

"I love you too."

Instead of going to the movies they spent the time with each other. Making Love. Giving kisses. And enjoying each others company. Lucas let out a sigh of relief.

"Thank you." Lucas told her later on as they laid on the ground with nothing on but a blanket covering them.

"For what having sex with you?" Brooke laughed. "If that's the case, then I should be thanking you." she leaned up and kissed his nose. "You sure are a good lover."she giggled.

"No not for having sex with me." he laughed. "For just being there for me, for making me happy."

"I want you to be happy Lucas. I love to hear your laugh and to see your smile. When your happy. I'm happy."

He kissed her forehead and smiled. Then he rolled on top of her and kissed her lips again. "So you think I'm a good lover." he joked.

"As a matter of fact I do." she giggled.

"Good, get ready for round two."

Haley was doing the dishes singing to herself when she looked over at Nathan sleeping on the couch. She smiled to herself. They were doing so well together. It seemed like everything was going good again. Her thoughts were broken when the doorbell rang. She quietly ran over and opened it slowly.

"Hi Haley."

"Wow. Deb how are you?" Haley asked. This had been the first time since she was back that Haley had a chance to talk to her. Haley reached over and gave her a hug.

Deb was surprised to see her warm welcome. "Wow its good to see somebody who is happy I'm actually back."

"Yeah, Nathan told me what happened. Don't worry things will get back to normal soon."

"How is Nathan?"

"He's good. He's sleeping right now. Deb you'd know I'd invite you in but-"

"But you don't want Nathan to see me."

"I'm sorry Deb. I'll tell Nathan you stopped by I just think if Nathan wants to talk to you he will. I really don't want to force it."

"I understand. I haven't been the perfect mother lately. Will you please tell him I stopped by?"

"Yeah, of course."

Deb started to walk away and then turned back real quick.

"He is lucky to have you Haley. Take care of him."

Haley smiled as she watched her mother in law walk to her car and drive away.

"Thanks." Nathan mumbled from behind.

"Oh your awake."

"Yeah, thanks for not making me talk to her."

"You have to eventually Nathan. I mean despite what's happened she is still your mom, and she still loves you."

"Yeah well she has a pretty funny way of showing it."

"I know its-"

"Haley I don't want to think about her right now. I just need a while okay?"

Haley looked into those eyes and nodded

"So what do you want to do tonight."

"Well I have basketball practice."

"On a Saturday night?" she whined.

"Coach wants us to double up, we got a big game next week."

"Well what about after practice." Haley said in a sexy voice.

"Hm well I'll let you decided that one." he kissed her neck.

Haley smiled again. No matter what, every time he touched her, every time he kissed her she felt those butterflies. She felt her heart pounding. She always felt herself giggling and happy when he was around. Nathan always had that affect on her. She was head over heals in love, and that is just the way she liked.

it.

"Lucas, Nathan is here." Keith called out.

Lucas ran outside to Nathan's car and he took off on the way to practice.

"Thanks for the ride." Lucas told him.

"Yeah no problem."

"Damn, practice is going to be hard as hell tonight." Lucas complained.

"Yeah well good, maybe he can finally get your ass in shape for good. Lord knows I've tried."

"Dude shut up!" Lucas laughed pushing his brother.

"So your mom still pissed?" Nathan asked.

"Yeah she hasn't really talked to me or Keith in the past couple of days. But I did see him and my mom talking this morning. When I got home my mom wasn't there."

"You didn't ask what happened?"

"Nah I didn't even bother. My mom is pissed she'll be over it soon."

"Well don't keep anymore secrets from her man. And then you wont have this problem."

Lucas smiled and then looked out the window. Nathan was right. But he had a secret. Lucas had been so wrapped up in the past couple of weeks that he almost forgot about his heart condition. However he could never entirely forget about it. Every once in a while it would cause him pain. He knew someday however he was going to have to tell his mom. However not now. Not yet.

Haley was snuggled up on the couch in sweat pants and a tank top reading her book. She rented movies for tonight and she figured when Nathan got home they could stay up and watch them. She felt her eyes getting heavier however. She was really tired. Haley tried to keep herself up but within a few minutes she fell asleep.

- - -

Dan was very quiet. He looked into the window for about ten minutes before he assured himself it was okay to enter. He quietly opened the door and looked around.

Silence.

It was only him and his daughter in law in that small apartment and he smiled at that. He saw her on the couch and walked over to her. He looked down at her. She looked so peaceful, so calm. However Dan felt himself getting angry. He blamed her for so much. She stole Nathan away from him. She helped him leave him. If Nathan never left, Dan would of been a happier person. His life would be better.

Dan stroked her hair and tucked a piece behind her ear. She rolled around a little and her eyes began to open. When they opened her heart felt like it jumped up into her throat. It had to be a nightmare, it had to be. She could not be seeing who she thought she was seeing. That could not be Dan.

"Ahhh!" She screamed before he quickly bent down and covered her mouth. He picked her up by her hair and pushed her against the wall.

"Hello sweet heart. Miss me?" he sneered.

"P-please don't." she cried.

"Don't want? Kill you? Because we both know you deserve that right.?"

"Mr. Scott please."

He smiled and put his hands around her neck. She kicked frantically trying to break free, trying to get away. Her hands started to feel limp. Her eyes started to slowly shut. Dan simply laughed and dropped her and she fell to the ground. Crying hard and breathing heavy.

- - - -

"Holy shit man that was harder then I thought." Lucas laughed as he slowly got in Nathan's car. "I'm sore in places I didn't even know I had."

"Good, and be ready early tomorrow morning we are going running."

Lucas laughed and herd his stomach growl.

"Dude im starving."

"Lets pick up Haley and go out to eat."

"Sounds good, if your paying." Lucas laughed.

"Yeah okay." Nathan reached for his cell phone and dialed home.

- - -

Haley was sitting against the wall crying and Dan laughed leaning against the couch.

"You really are pathetic." he snapped.

"Mr. Scott what are you doing." she sobbed.

Just before he had a chance to answer the phone rang. Before Dan could even blink Haley jumped up and grabbed the phone.

"Help me please somebody!" she screamed.

"Haley!" Nathan screamed.

"What's wrong!" Lucas asked.

"Nathan please AHHHHHHHH."

She was pulled back by her hair by Dan and threw to the floor. He picked up the phone.

"Don't worry Nathan, I'll take good care of her."

"You son of a bitch if you touch her I'll-"

Click.

Nathan knew that voice. That deep scary tone anywhere. His father.

"Shit!" Nathan screamed.

He slammed his foot on the gas and sped of in the direction of his home, scared of what to find when he got there.
