Okay, so you all are probably really mad that I haven't updated and I have to say, I'm mad at myself too! I'm so sorry that this took so long to get out but here's some good news, I'm posting the next chapter either tonight or tomorrow so keep a lookout for that! And the reviews were so amazing for the last chapter that I just have to say a huge thanks to all that reviewed. They really made my day and got me writing faster even though I was so busy. Well here's chapter 6 with 7 coming soon!

Chapter 6

The next day at school was pretty much the same, there was the occasional moments where Brooke and Rachel were on their guard (well mostly Brooke), and there were also the occasional lies that they had to tell to keep everyone from finding out they stole the test answers. But other then that, everything was going pretty good.

Brooke and Chase had been going out for a little while now, and Brooke was being careful with her heart and his. She knew about his past and how his last girlfriend cheated on him because he didn't want to sleep with her. She knew that, and she wanted to make sure he understood she wasn't going to do anything to make him feel like he had to. She was fine waiting, her mind wasn't on having sex, it was about love. Not that it hadn't been love last time with Lucas but this time, this time she was being extremely careful. She walked down the hallway confidently and saw Haley standing by her locker.

"Hey Hales." She greeted.

"Oh hey Brooke. I have to ask you something and I really don't want to but Principal Turner is being really hard on us for it… okay I'm going to get right to the point, did you steal the Calculus answers?" She asked.

If there was any time that Brooke could feel horrible, it was now. She couldn't tell her the truth because that would mean that either she could get in huge trouble or that Haley and her friendship could be over with. She didn't want either.

"No, I didn't." She said simply.

Haley breathed a sigh of relief. "Okay, good. I felt bad for asking but I just had to. I knew you wouldn't do it though."

Brooke laughed a nervous laugh. "Of course not. And I understand that you had to ask me so don't worry about it, okay?"

"Okay. Listen I'm going to go talk to Nathan. He's having some troubles with his mom so…"

"Oh, Deb problems?" She asked.

"Oh yeah. She stormed into our apartment like a mad women. Remember that one night?"

"Oh yeah! Is that when she pumbled you to the ground like a linebacker?" Brooke asked.

"Yeah, I'd rather not think about it." Haley said and looked down.

"Sorry." Brooke said sincerely. She jokes about it now, but she remembered how much of a nervous wreck she had been that night. "Okay now go to Nathan because I know that if you stick around here much longer we are just going to start talking about him and he's not my husband, he's yours. So scoot!"

"Okay okay. Bye Brooke. I'll call you later." Haley said and walked down the hallway and over to the gym.

Haley walked into the gym and immediately saw Nathan shooting some baskets.

"Hey mister, basketball is over which means you now have to pay all of your attention to your beautiful pregnant wife." Haley joked.

"My favorite thing to do." Nathan said and put the basketball down to go and give his wife a kiss.

"Okay so the reason I came here was to talk about your mom. I know your upset about the whole situation so I wanted to help you with it."

"Hales, you know my family our problems have been around for ages and can't be solved." Nathan said.

"I didn't say I would try and solve them, I said I would help you with them. So I was thinking about how she's getting out soon and how you kind of wanted to watch out for her so I was thinking that maybe we should move into your house." Haley said.

"Hales…" Nathan began.

"No Nathan this might actually be a good idea. I mean think about it, we wouldn't have to pay rent because we would be living in your house which means that we would have more money for the baby and then we could keep an eye out for your mom at the same time." She explained.

Nathan looked at his wife and smiled.

"You know your right, I really should be paying more attention to my beautiful and genius wife." He said and she laughed.

"So are we moving?" She asked excitedly.

"You sound excited." Nathan said. "Do you remember what she did last time we saw her?"

"Yeah, but I mean she is your mom and anyways I'm doing this for you."

Nathan sighed. "Were moving in."

Haley squealed and gave Nathan a huge hug and kiss.

"Hey since were moving in, I was thinking that we should throw a party." Nathan suggested.

"Sounds fun. Count me in. I'll go and tell Brooke and then well…everyone should know." Haley said and laughed. Nathan laughed too, knowing that Brooke didn't tell secrets but when it came to parties, her mouth was open wide.

"I really am excited about this more money thing." Haley said smiling.

"Uh huh. Me too especially now that we don't have to worry about rent."

Haley nodded and then realized something. "Now I can go baby shopping with Brooke!"

"Hales, you do know how much she spends right?" He asked worriedly.

"Yes but you do remember that your wife can limit herself right?"

"I do, sorry." He said and gave her a kiss.

"Forgiven."

Brooke walked into the library after school where she was meeting Chase. She saw him reading a book. She smiled, and walked over and sat down next to him at a table.

"Hey Chase." She said nervously.

She didn't know why but she was always nervous around him. She thought it was just because he was cute at first, but now it was like every time she was around him she would get butterflies. And then she got nervous because if she was falling for him, she wondered if she would get hurt again.

"Hey Brooke. I heard about Principal Turner's rampage about finding who stole the Calculus tests. You okay?" He asked.

Leave it to Chase to make her day better.

"Yeah, I just…I had to lie to Haley. I hate lying, especially to Haley."

Chase put his arm around her. "I know you feel bad, and I'm sure that pretty soon, you're going to tell her. But for now, you don't have to."

"Thanks Chase you've really helped me the past few weeks. I feel like I feel better because of you. When I met you I was a mess basically. But now, I feel better." Brooke laughed. "This must sound really cheesy."

"It does, but I love cheesy." He said and leaned in to kiss her. Just then her cell phone rang.

"Ugh." Brooke sighed. She said one minute and saw that it was Haley. She told Chase that she needed to go because Haley's voicemail said that it was really important. He understood, and she gave him a kiss on the cheek before leaving.

Brooke marched into Haley's house worried that something went wrong.

"Hales!" Brooke called. No answer. "Tutor girl!" Nothing. "Haley James Scott!"

Just then Haley came running out of her room, excited.

"Hey Brooke! You got my message, good. Okay I have some news to tell you." Haley said.

"Hales, your scaring me what is this all about?" Brooke asked.

"It's nothing bad don't worry. Its just Nathan and I are moving into Deb's house so we can take care of her and save money for when our baby comes." Haley explained.

Brooke breathed a sigh of relief but then grew angry. "I thought something happened to you!"

"Sorry to make you worry. I just wanted to tell you that we threw together a party tonight at Deb's house so we wanted you to come."

Brooke smiled. "Hales, you know I love you but I cannot believe you called me out here just to hear about a party! I mean don't get me wrong parties and I go together very well but I was in the middle of something with Chase!"

Haley looked at her seriously. "You were with Chase?"

"Yes! And he was just about to kiss me when you called." She explained.

"And you actually stopped everything just to come over here?" She asked.

"Yes!"

"I am so sorry Brooke. I didn't mean to. I just didn't know." Haley said. She felt bad.

"Hales don't worry about it. Maybe it was like a sign saying that we should go slower." Brooke said trying to make her feel better.

"Or I just have incredibly bad timing." Haley said. Brooke laughed.

"Speaking of bad timing, did I mention that Rachel stole the Calculus answers? I knew it was her."

Brooke looked down at the floor, and was shocked at the same time.

"She did?" She asked quietly.

"Yeah, can you believe it? Now my tutoring job is done!" Haley exclaimed.

"What? Why didn't you tell me?" Brooke asked.

"I didn't want to worry you or anything. Even though I'm really mad at Rachel."

"I'll have to talk to her." Brooke said and Haley nodded unsurely.

"Let's not dwell on it. Let's just get ready for the party!" Brooke said and pulled Haley up from the couch so they could get ready and set up for the party while Brooke tried to avoid the guilt in the pit of her stomach.

The party was in full swing when everyone got there. Lucas and Peyton arrived, along with Mouth, Skillz, Junk, Fergie, Rachel and Chase. Lucas and Peyton were standing there while Brooke and Chase were across the room talking.

"So Lucas, I was thinking that maybe we should try out the huge bed upstairs." Peyton said.

Lucas smiled. "I thought you wanted to wait?"

"I'm done waiting. I just want you now." She said.

Lucas nodded and they held hands while walking up the stairs.

The music was blaring and everyone was hanging out. Rachel was dancing and was having fun, until Haley came up to her. All of her anger was ready to be poured out you could tell, and that wasn't the only thing that was poured out.

"What was that for?" Rachel yelled after she felt a liquid spilled all over her.

"That was for making me lose my tutoring job!" Haley said. And then slapped Rachel across the face.

"And that's for trying to sleep with my husband!" She yelled.

"You're lucky you're pregnant." Was all Rachel said. She stormed out of the room and brushed past Brooke.

Brooke grabbed her arm. "Rachel wait!"

They walked outside and were now facing each other.

"Rachel…" Brooke began.

"It's okay Brooke." She said.

"No, it's not okay Rachel. You covered for me. And you just got beat up by a pregnant woman who shouldn't even be hitting you in the first place! It's my fault Rachel how is that okay?" Brooke exclaimed.

"Were friends Brooke. That's what makes it okay. Even though we were rocky at first, we became friends."

"But Rachel, what's going to happen to you now?" Brooke asked worriedly.

"Who knows? Now for the important thing…Chase. Go in and be with him!" Rachel said.

"Rachel…I can't just leave you out here. Why don't I just go home with you and we can stay in…"

"No, you are not coming home just because of me. Now get your bitchy ass back in here so you can have some fun with a great guy who likes you." Rachel said and laughed.

Brooke smiled a sad smile and hugged Rachel. "Thank you. I'll see you tonight."

Rachel hugged her back and nodded. She then turned and left to go home and clean up.

Haley and Skillz were talking about how she basically knocked out Rachel.

"You showed her whose boss dawg!" He yelled.

Haley smiled sheepishly. Just then something caught Skillz' eye.

"What's this? 'Nathan Scores?'" He asked.

"Oh it's probably just another one of his basketball tapes, he has a ton." Haley laughed.

"Nothing like seeing little Nate shooting hoops. Yo Fergie, pop it in dawg." He said.

Fergie rushed over and put the tape in. It started playing and images of Nathan doing slam-dunks and making all of his shots appeared on the screen.

Brooke walked outside and sat down on a bench. She was feeling horrible and not even Chase could make her feel better. How could she have underestimated Rachel? She thought that they weren't really friends because she had Haley but this just proved that they were a lot better friends then she thought. Then she thought of Peyton and how she hadn't talked to her in a while. They had talked about her fashion design opportunity for Victoria Secret and how Peyton had signed her designs over. They had been getting somewhere but Brooke just couldn't let it go. She thought that she needed to otherwise she would hold a grudge against her forever. Just then she heard a noise and then someone appeared next to her.

"Hey Nate." She said.

"Sulking?" He asked.

"A bit." She replied. "That obvious?"

"Pretty much, yeah. Have you talked to her?" He asked.

It was like he could read her mind. He knew that she was thinking about Peyton. Her face became apparent and she felt like she was see through.

"Yeah, I just can't help thinking that maybe I should just let it all go you know?" She asked.

"I think it's time." He replied. Brooke nodded.

"And time for this." He said getting up and running over by the bushes.

"Wait a second, Nathan time for what?" She asked nervously.

Just then, she knew exactly what time it was for. Sprinklers were rushing all around her and she was getting more soaked by the second. She screamed and Nathan couldn't stop laughing.

"Oh! You are so getting it!" She yelled and began to chase after him.

"You can't catch me Davis!" He yelled back and ran faster but then slipped because of how wet and slippery it was.

Brooke laughed and jumped on his back. "I got you!"

"Not yet!" He yelled and got up with her on his back. She yelled for him to put her down but he yelled no. They then heard screaming coming from inside of the house and decided to go in with Brooke still on his back.

Lucas and Peyton were in a heavy make-out scene in the bedroom upstairs. There were shirts scattered on the floor along with other things. They heard screaming and they both shot up. Peyton heard the word 'Oh man Nathan really did score!' and immediately yelled:

"No!"

She rushed off the bed and hurried around for her shirt. Once she found it and put it on she raced down the stairs with Lucas behind her. She had to make sure that it wasn't her and Nathan that were on that tape downstairs.

Nathan and Brooke came in sopping wet with Brooke on his back. They were still laughing until they saw what flooded the screen. Nathan put Brooke down and they both fought through the crowd.

Brooke's heart was racing a mile a minute. She couldn't believe this was happening. Now! Of all the times it just had to be now. She wanted to break down into tears right then and there and she would have but when she turned around she saw the hurt on Lucas' face and the anger on Peyton's. She immediately turned back around and saw Haley's shocked face along with Nathan's. He looked at her apologetically. She couldn't even look at Chase. She just stood there, stunned.

Looking over at Lucas once more she saw his face frown and almost tears in his eyes. It was hurting him to the extreme to see his first love on the screen with his brother…in front of everyone. He knew how she was probably feeling but he couldn't help feeling hurt also. He wasn't going to get mad at her for it but he wanted to know why he still cared. He was with Peyton so what was the big deal?

But with Peyton it was a whole different story. She was fuming. When she looked over at Brooke she went up to her and didn't say a word. She just flat out punched her as Brooke stumbled back a few steps.
