Okay yeah I'm not sure how I feel about this chapter, let me know what you think. Good stuff is coming. Read and Review thanks!

Two weeks later...

Haley opened the aspirin and took two and washed it down with a gulp of water. Her arm was really hurting her this night.

"Haley you okay?" Nathan mumbled from behind.

Haley jumped and then turned around. "Oh gosh you scared me. Yeah I'm fine."

"Its three in the morning Hales. Your arm bothering you?"

"Yeah just a little, I took some aspirin I'll be fine." she smiled.

Haley yawned and Nathan and her walked back to the bedroom together. They laid down and Nathan tucked Haley in and she closed her eyes. She could feel Nathan staring at her.

"Nathan what are you doing." she giggled looking up. He was sitting up resting on his arm just looking at her.

"what I can't look at my wife."

"You've been doing this every night since I got home from the hospital."

"I like watching you sleep." he smiled kissing her.

She couldn't help but kiss him back. He was so protective now. Sure it was a little annoying, but still cute.

The two just sat there giving light kisses and slowly fell asleep.

Peyton got up the next morning with a big smile. Her date that previous night with Matt went awesome. He picked her up and took her on his boat. They rode for a while laughing and talking and when he stopped he pulled out a picnic blanket and a picnic basket and they enjoyed a nice meal together. He was so cute when he smiled. His dimples were just adorable to her.

"I really like you Peyton." he told her again and again that night.

"I like you too." she would always answer.

She loved it when he would give her kisses. They were taking things really slow. The only thing they had done was kiss, and Peyton liked that.

"Once again your Mrs. Sunshine." Brooke laughed from the bathroom. She had a towel on her body and her hair, she obviously just got out of the shower.

"I know, its really great." she smiled even bigger.

"I know it is." Brooke smiled back. "So since your so happy you want to help me go shopping?"

"Since when does Brooke Davis need help shopping?"

"Well I need to find a dress, not just any dress a really beautiful one."

"Oh sounds nice, what for?" Peyton asked.

"Lucas."

"What." Peyton choked. She hadn't really thought about Lucas since she met Matt. But she still felt awkward talking to Brooke about him. Since she still had no idea about what had happened in the school, and what she said to him.

"Yeah well I'm taking him out tomorrow night. I told him to get really dressed up and you know that new Italian restaurant? Well were going there for the night. Its supposed to be amazing."

"That sounds awesome Brooke." she smiled slightly.

"So you up for it?"

Peyton hesitated for a minute and then decided she should.

"Sure."

"Yay! Now get ready, we got a long day ahead of us sister."

Lucas was taking a run. They had a game that night. However school was closed for teacher in service, but Whitey talked to the people in charge and said they could still have their game there.

He was really thinking about basketball, and the team that he didn't even realize how far he really went. He slowed down and cursed to himself. He was in the so called "bad part" of Tree Hill. It wasn't to dangerous but drug deals and selling guns, and knifes illegally happened a lot there.

Lucas turned around to leave when his jaw dropped. He couldn't believe his eyes. There was a man who had a scruffy looking face and baggy clothing on. He was looking around and then went to his car and pulled out a bag and reached in to pull out a silver handgun.

Lucas continued to watch. With his heart pounding. The one buying the gun was Nathan.

Nathan nodded taking the gun and looking at it and the man showed him how to load it and shoot it and then gave him a brown bag with extra bullets and Nathan handed him some money, shook his hand and walked away. Lucas's mouth was still hanging open of what he just witnessed.

His brother not only did something totally illegal that could get him thrown in jail, or worse, accidentally killed. What the hell did Nathan need a gun for. Then it dawned on him.

Dan.

Lucas watched his brother get in his car and drive away. He looked around one last time and slowly walked home, with what he just witnessed repeating over and over in his head.

"Lucas Scott passes to Nathan Scott and he scores!" Mouth yelled into his microphone.

There were 3 more minutes left in the game. They were down by four now, Lucas and Nathan were doing great working together.

The other team had the ball and came dribbling by, Nathan knocked it out and Lucas quickly grabbed it and passed it to Tim, who immediately found Nathan running down the court and threw it to him and he did a lay up.

"Wow Nathan Scott sure is on fire tonight folks. He slams the basket and now the Ravens are only down by two."

The other team brought the ball in again. Lucas ran up and was about to block it but he suddenly felt a wave of dizziness. He stopped slowly and they ran right past him. The whole team ran back to try and get positioned but Lucas stayed down at the other end of the court holding his head. His heart started pounding faster and faster and it suddenly it started to ache.

"Lucas!" Whitey yelled out to him.

"I'm fine." Lucas yelled back, causing his head to hurt even more.

Just when Lucas was going to start running back The other team shot and missed, a team mate grabbed the ball and passed it to Nathan. He looked around and saw Lucas down at the other end behind the three point line.

"Luke!" He shouted out.

Lucas looked up and caught the ball took a deep breathe and shot. What seemed like slow motion the ball went up and gracefully fell right threw the net.

The crowed was cheering so loudly. Nathan ran up and jumped on Lucas as did the other team mates. The ravens were doing good again. They had won another game!

Lucas was in the middle of the whole team they were all jumping up and down and cheering they didn't even notice Lucas holding his heart and breathing way to heavy. Everyone except Haley, who was watching from the stands. And knew exactly why he was doing so.

The cheering slowly died down and the team went to the locker room where Whitey congratulated them and they showered and got dressed. Lucas walked out first to see Haley.

"Good game." she smiled.

"Thanks." he hugged her.

"Looked like you were having a little trouble at the end there Luke."

He looked at her and could see the worry in her eyes.

"Haley-"

"Your still taking your medicine right? I mean if you need money I have money."

"Haley don't worry about me, I'm fine."

"You didn't answer my question. Are you taking your medicine still?"

"Yes." he lied. He hated himself for it. Haley was the one person who he didn't lie to. Ever. And there he was lying about his heart. But she had to much to worry about, she didn't need him being one of them.

"Well I think you need to take things easier, you were holding your heart Luke, so you can't even tell me you weren't hurting."

"I just got winded, I promise you I'm okay."

Haley took a deep breathe and shook her head. "Good, if you need anything let me know." she smiled

He hugged her. "Thanks Hales."

"Gosh Nathan always takes forever." she giggled.

"Wow don't I love to brag about my boyfriend." Brooke walked up kissing Lucas. "You did awesome."

"Yeah I'm not so bad." he laughed.

"So you ready for our big date tomorrow night."

"You bet I am." he said kissing her again.

She kissed him back.

"So how's the arm." she turned to Haley and asked.

"Better. Hopefully I can get this dumb cast off soon."

"Yeah we miss you on the cheerleading squad."

Haley smiled.

"Hey Brooke do you mind taking Haley home?" Lucas cut in on their conversation.

Haley looked up confused.

" I know you usually leave with Nathan but I kinda need to talk to him in private, if you don't mind." Lucas told her.

"No, I don't care, is everything okay." Haley asked.

"Yeah its fine, just brother stuff."

Brooke and Haley nodded and left with Haley hugging him goodbye, and Brooke kissing him.

Lucas took a deep breathe as he sat down waiting for Nathan to come out.
