Brooke froze in her tracks and stared at the drunken Peyton who's arms were around Haley and her neck because she could barely walk.

"What did you just say." she asked quietly.

"I ssssaid sorry I kissed Luuucuss again." she said, slurring her words.

"Peyton when did you kiss Lucas?" Haley asked, Brooke was standing there looking at Peyton not able to say anything.

"Ssschool Shootinggg. But He lovessss you Brooooke. I'mmm sooorry." Peyton mumbled again.

Brooke stood there, mouth hanging open and her anger rising.

"Brooke..." Haley started.

"Lets just get her home." Brooke cut her off and started to walk again with Peyton stumbling, but Brooke continued to help her walk.

The girls went out and even though they decided not to drink it was just to tempting. They each had some shots promising each other it would be the last one before they drank it. Haley decided to call it quits while Brooke and Peyton wanted to do a few more. Brooke started to feel a buzz and looked over at Haley on her phone and went to go talk to her.

"Hey P-saywer I'll be right back. Be careful okay?" she laughed patting her on the back. While Peyton downed another.

"You okay Haley?" Brooke asked.

"I can't get in touch with Nathan. He won't answer." Haley told her.

"Haley is probably sleeping. Its late and we have school tomorrow don't forget."

"Ugh don't remind me." Haley told her.

"Yeah plus he probably feels guilty about whatever you guys fought about."

"True." Haley smiled. "Thanks Brooke."

"No problem. Now look at this." Brooke groaned showing Haley her phone. The time read 11:54 pm.

"Why are you showing me that?" Haley asked.

"Because we have school tomorrow and were still out."

"We could always just not go?" Haley told her, with an innocent voice.

"Tutor Girl actually thinking about cutting class?" Brooke giggled.

"No, no way. Totally just kidding." Haley smiled waving her hands in the air.

They both looked at each other and smiled.

"Hell yeah!" they both yelled at the same time.

They continued to talk for about another twenty minutes when they were too tired and wanted to go home. They looked for Peyton and saw her doing yet another shot and stumbling.

"Oh dear." Haley said out loud.

They managed to get Peyton outside and started to walk home.

"Suchhhh a fun night." Peyton started.

"Yes, fun fun." Brooke giggled. "Peyton how much did you drink?"

"Ummmm" Peyton started and tried counting on her fingers and almost fell and Haley and Brooke threw her arms over their shoulders.

"I haven't seen you like this since like the 10th grade Peyton." Brooke laughed.

"You guys used to drink in the 10th grade?" Haley asked, shocked.

"Well...Yeah." Brooke answered.

"I totally forgot all bouuuut Jakeeeeeeee." Peyton said again.

"Good." Haley smiled.

"Brooke was my bestttestt frienddd." Petyon randomly said.

"Is Peyton." Brooke corrected her. " I am your best friend silly."

"But I...I...I am sssorry." Peyton yelled, her voice starting to choke.

"Sorry for what?" Brooke smiled.

"K,Kissing Luuucass agaiin.."

Brooke and Haley arrived at Peytons and laid her on the bed. Brooke immediately grabbed her purse and walked to the door.

"You are staying here right?" Brooke asked Haley.

"Yeah, Brooke where are you going?"

"I can't stay here. I have to go." Brooke told her and walked right out the door and outside, slamming the door on the way out causing Peyton to groan and roll over and fall asleep.

Haley stood there and looked at her drunk friend.

"Oh Peyton. What did you do." She whispered tucking her in.

- - - -

Brooke marched right up to Lucas's door took a deep breath and starting to knock. Not caring it was around 1 in the morning.

The door opened and she gasped when it wasn't Lucas, but Karen instead.

"Brooke what are you doing here?" Karen asked wiping her eyes.

"I..um." Brooke started

"Where is Lucas?" Karen asked looking her son's bed noticing he wasn't there.

"He's not here?" Brooke asked.

"No."

"I.. I don't know. I thought he was here." Brooke told her.

"Come in." Karen ushered her in and closed the door.

"I was waiting for him to come home. I guess I fell asleep." Karen explained. "Hold on a second." Karen told her. She went in the bedroom and Brooke could here her whispering to Keith.

A few moments later Keith and Karen both walked out with worry on their face.

"I'm feeling really awkward here." Brooke told them. "Do you want me to go?"

"No sweetie your fine." Karen told her. "Do you have any idea where he could be?"

Brooke shrugged, not having a clue.

" I thought he would of been with you tonight." Karen told her.

"No I was with Peyton and Haley... Oh! Haley." Brooke yelled.

"What?" Keith asked.

"Her and Nathan were in a fight. She slept at Peytons. Maybe Lucas is at Nathans?"

"Oh right. That is where he said he was going." Karen took a deep breathe. "He would of called though."

"Well Haley tried calling Nathan earlier he didn't answer." Brooke told them.

"Well, I'll drive over there." Keith told them.

Karen agreed and Keith set off for Nathan's house only to his disappointment he wasn't there either. Neither boys were.

Karen and Brooke were in the kitchen and Brooke thought it would be smart to call Haley and let her know that neither Nathan nor Lucas could be found. Haley checked on Peyton one last time and left for Karens house with tears in her eyes.

Karen also decided to call someone. She picked up the phone and dialed.

"H.Hello?" a sleepy voice answered.

"Deb its Karen. You'd better get over here."

- -

"Ma'am don't worry I'm sure we'll find them. Probably just a misunderstanding." An officer tried to calm Karen.

"No, I don't think you understand. That man is still out there and its 1:30 in the morning." Karen reminded him, getting angry now.

"He hasn't been sighted in weeks." he responded.

"Which doesn't mean he still isn't out there." Deb responded walking up from behind.

"Oh Deb you're here." Karen smiled hugging her.

"Well any news?" she asked.

"No, they are still searching." Karen told her.

Haley and Brooke were sitting at the table with worry in their eyes.

"Its weird ya know." Brooke spoke up.

"Huh?" Haley asked. She wasn't really paying attention much. She was stirring the spoon in her coffee for the past ten minutes.

"I said its weird."

"What is?" Haley asked finally looking.

"Before I got here I had every intention of freaking out on Lucas. I was so mad at him. So hurt and now all I want to do is hold him in my arms. I want him to be okay. I'm really worried Haley."

"Yeah me too. What are you going to do with this whole Peyton, Lucas thing?"

"I'm trying not to think of it. I just want to see Lucas here. Safe and okay. Then I'll worry about the other things."

Haley nodded.

" I hope they are okay too. I mean I wasn't to happy with Nathan last time we talked."

"What was the fight about anyway?" Brooke asked.

Haley took a deep breathe. She didn't want to really say anything before, but it was really bothering her now. She had to talk to someone.

"Well Nathan sort of bought a gun."

"What!" Brooke yelled causing two officers attention.

"Everything okay?" one asked.

"Fine." Haley told them. "Will you keep your voice down?" She whispered turning back Brooke.

"Sorry, you should warn a girl next time you are going to say something that big."

"Yeah, well Lucas told me and how Nathan wouldn't listen to him about getting rid of it. I found it in our house and freaked out."

"Wow."

"Yeah, and I told him if he left I wouldn't be there when he got back."

Brooke saw the sadness in Haley's eyes.

"Hey, Nathan knows you love him. I wouldn't worry about it."

"Yeah, I just really want to talk to him. You don't actually think that Dan got them do you? I mean he has been gone for weeks."

"I don't know Haley. I'm just praying their okay."

"Yeah Brooke. Me too."
