"Oh hey Haley, where's Nathan?" Brooke said casually as she opened the door of her apartment.
Haley appeared less upset, and angrier. She pushed the door wide open, and stepped up to Brooke's face. "I know you slept with Nathan," she said with a look that could kill, "and I just want you to know that you're an even bigger backstabbing bitch than Peyton ever was. For someone who went through a relationship that ended in this sort of infidelity, you'd think you would have more of a heart."
Brooke stared at Haley with saddened eyes. She backed up, as Haley got more aggressive. "I'm sorry Haley, I wasn't thinking I just-"
"Your damn right you weren't thinking. I don't even know what else to say to you right now other than once I leave, i'm never coming back." Haley turned away.
"No! Haley, you can't do that to Nathan. Don't speak to me ever again, whatever, just don't leave Nathan here, he's really lost right now and-" Brooke was crying.
"Oh, you see, i'm not really worried; I know the queen-skank of Tree Hill will be here to console his feelings by sleeping with him whenever he feels lost!" Haley screamed, now back in front of her face.
"I'm sorry Haley, I don't know what else to say." Brooke ushered Haley towards the door, her tears slowing down.
"I bet." Haley slammed the door right in Brooke's face, and whaled back to her cab.

Nathan was in the high school gym, shooting around and blowing off steam.
Brooke walked in, and caught the ball as it rebounded off the backboard. "Hi." She said awkwardly.
"Brooke, not now." Nathan was still angry about this morning, clearly.
"Nathan i'm sorry. If it makes you feel any better she yelled at me this morning too." Brooke said walking towards him with the ball in her hand.
Nathan backed away. "It doesn't. Brooke you should just leave, okay."
"Nate, don't worry, Haley isn't going to walk in or anything," she smiled a little, "Lucas called me earlier, and she's flying down to New York to get him."
"What? Why? With Peyton there, I don't think so." Nathan said doubtfully.
"Lucas left Peyton. He told her he didn't love her, and she left him stranded on a street somewhere." Brooke's face appeared to be regretful to be telling Nathan that.
"Don't look so sad Brooke; you know it's what you wanted. Whatever, I kind of want to be alone right now so…"
"Nathan i'm sorry, okay. You cannot be blaming me for this right now." She passed Nathan his ball back.
"I'm not blaming you. Just leave, please!" Nathan was pleading in an angry way.
"Fine." Brooke was offended, and left the gym without another word.

Lucas was sitting on a side bench outside of the New York airport at around noon. Haley called about half an hour previous to then, and mentioned she would be flying in around 1pm.
Ring…ring…ring.
"Hello" Lucas said putting down his book.
"Lucas…"
"Peyton? What's wrong." He could here her tears, a little too loudly.
"I'm sorry," she said walking around the corner of the airport.
Lucas hung up his phone, and stood up with a blank look on his face.
They were a few meters apart, and Peyton looked up at him. She smiled. "I couldn't let you leave without saying goodbye."
Lucas was a little stunned. "How did you know I was here?" They were still quite distanced.
"Brooke called me."
Lucas' face widened in even more shock, "Why?"
"Oh I don't know something about us being meant for each other, and how it shouldn't end like this again," she was smiling through her tears.
They inched a little closer. "Peyton i'm sorry that I freaked out earlier, but my flight is booked and Haley's going to be here soon. So I guess goodbye?" Lucas was confused about what to do.
"Lucas, I don't want it to be like this forever," Lucas listened to her intently, "I don't want to be on these terms with you, I don't want our relationship to be something that just gets carried away, and than snapped back to reality not even a day later. I don't want that for us." Her tears were steady. "I wasn't just getting carried away when I told you I could be happy with you, because I know I could be." She took a deep breath, and walked a few more paces towards him. "This is really hard for me to put myself out here like this, especially since you said those things in the car. I think you love me Lucas, I do. I think you're scared i'll hurt you again. And sure I have no job, and no place to live, and that could be why i'm asking you this, but I don't think so." She was a few inches apart from Lucas now, her eyes still red and watery. "I want you to take me back to Tree Hill Lucas." She breathed deeply waiting for a response.
