Brooke, Haley, and Mouth were asleep in the living room of Haley and Nathan's place when they got the call. After Mouth came over Brooke and Haley kept him up all night talking and they all wound up falling asleep. Brooke and Haley sharing a couch, Mouth on the floor.
Brooke herd the phone ringing but just covered her ears and groaned in annoyance.
"Haley, you get it. It's your house."
"Uh" Haley mumbled rolling out of bed.
She picked up the phone to hear those words that she had been dying to hear for days.
"Nathan and Lucas are home."

Nathan woke up in the hospital bed with Haley right by his side.
"Oh your awake!" she exclaimed kissing him over and over again.
"Hales...I...missed...you.." Nathan laughed talking in between Haley's kisses.
"Oh I was so scared. And I'm so sorry about what happened. I love you Nathan. I love you so much."
"Haley. I love you too." he grabbed her face lightly and kissed it.
They talked for a while, with Haley crying some.
"Hales have you seen Lucas?" He asked her.
"Only for a little. He was sleeping as well. It seems as soon as they brought you guys in, you fell right asleep."
"Yeah, well we didn't get much sleep." He told her.
"They police want to talk to you."
"Yeah. I know they would want to. I'm kind of dreading that part." Nathan sighed. "We talked to them a little when we first got at the police station but after they let us rest in these beds, we were done."
"Oh god I'm so happy you and Lucas are okay." she kissed him yet again.
"Haley I found out something about Lucas. I think its going to upset you." He started.
"What?" Haley asked concerned.
"He um, has a heart condition." Nathan told her.
Haley hesitated.
"Nathan. Um, please don't be mad. But I knew." She said, worried he would be angry.
"What?" He asked.
"He told me the night of the Halloween party. He told me he was taking his medicine. And that he would be careful. I know I should of said something, but I just..couldn't. I know it sounds dumb."
"Well he wasn't taking his medicine." Nathan spoke.
"Great. So he lied." Haley rolled her eyes.
"You aren't the only one he lied to." Nathan told her.
"I'm sorry I didn't tell you." Haley apologized.
"Its okay. But no more secrets?" Nathan asked.
"Promise." Haley kissed him.

"How is your arm?" Brooke asked seeing him struggle with it.
"Well, doc says its just a sprain. I'll be fine." He smiled kissing her.
Brooke couldn't help it. Every time he kissed her she kissed him back. Yes she was hurt, and wanted to talk to him. But she couldn't yet. It wasn't the right time. So in the meantime she let it slide. To make sure he was okay.
"I was worried about you Broody." She sighed.
Lucas could see the sadness in her eyes. How unhappy she looked. He gently grabbed her face.
"You don't have to worry about anything okay? I'm okay. We're okay." He smiled as she lay her head down on his chest.
"Are we?" She whispered lightly. Light enough for Lucas not to hear it.
"Lucas? The doctors want to talk to you." Keith told him as he walked in with Karen.
"You feeling better sweetie?" Karen asked walking up to him.
"Yeah. A lot better." He smiled at her. "Um before I go and talk to the police I have to talk to you guys." He said unhappy.
Brooke saw the look in his eyes and thought it would be better if she left.
"Um I'll go Lucas." Brooke whispered.
"No, you have to hear this too."
Brooke nodded taking back her seat.
"I've been lying to all of you." He mumbled.
"What?" Karen asked.
"Aboutt...um...about my heart." He said, starting to choke up.
"Lucas what is going on?" Keith asked.
"I have a heart condition." he looked down as their jaws all dropped.
Karen shook her head and looked at him.
"How..?" She couldn't go on. She wiped away her tears and Keith brought her into a hug.
"Mom, I'm sorry. I just had to tell you."
Before Karen could answer a doctor walked in.
"I'm sorry but Lucas can the police come in?"
"Yeah in a minute." Keith told him.
"We'll talk about this later Lucas." Karen wiped away tears from her eyes as she and Keith walked out of the room.
Lucas turned to Brooke who had two tears falling from her eyes.
"I'm sorry." She mumbled grabbing her hand.
"It's to hard Lucas." Brooke cried out.
"What is?"
"Being lied too." She answered.
"I know, I know and I'm sorry. No more secrets." He kissed her hand.
"There are always secrets Lucas." She told him getting up and walking out of the room.
Lucas stood there, shocked as she walked out and the detective walked in.

Brooke ran out of the hospital and sat in her car and just burst out crying.
She hit her hand on the steering wheel as hard as she could and placed her head on it and continued to sob.
Why did Peyton have to kiss him! Why did Lucas have to kiss her! Why did Lucas have to lie! Why did Peyton have to lie!Why did they all have to lie! They people she trusted hurt her. Again.
She was crying so loud she didn't even see a car pull up next to her and Peyton walk out of it. Peyton looked down and saw her best friend crying alone in her car.
"Brooke! Brooke what's wrong." she asked opening her car door.
Brooke looked up, tears falling down her cheek. Make up smudged and hair a mess.
"It hurts to much Peyton." she cried out.
"What does."
"People. The people I trust. Lying to me, and hurting me like its some sort of game." Brooke snapped closing the car door and speeding off.
Peyton stood there and took a deep breathe. Realizing Brooke was talking about her.
Yeah, real short chapter. Just wanted to get it in. Let me know what you think. Review please.
