CHAPTER 7

Brooke was still crying but she managed out a sentence.

"I'm not pregnant."

"Brooke don't worry its gonna be…wait…what did you just say?" Nathan asked.

Brooke got up from the floor and looked at him and sniffled and smiled.

"I'm not pregnant."

"Then why were you crying," Nathan asked.

"They were tears of joy Doofus," Brooke said laughing slightly.

Nathan sighed in relief.

"You scared the crap out of me," Nathan said.

Brooke pouted playfully.

"Forgive me?"

Nathan smirked.

"I don't know…your gonna have to do something for me," he said.

"What?" Brooke asked.

Nathan leaned down to whisper in her ear.

His first few words made her smirk, but then she gasped and smacked him.

"Ew! You pervert! That's disgusting," Brooke yelled.

Nathan started laughing.

"I was just joking…I wanted you to laugh," he said.

"Puh-lease you don't have the power to make me laugh," Brooke told him confidently.

Nathan raised an eyebrow.

"Oh really?" he asked.

Brooke just nodded her head vigorously.

"Yup yup," she said energetically.

Nathan just smirked and picked her up and carried her to the couch where he began to tickle her.

"Nathan! Stop!" Brooke giggled.

"No thanks…I'm busy making you laugh," Nathan said as he continued to tickle her.

"Nathan if you don't stop…you are NEVER getting any," Brooke threatened.

Nathan immediately stopped.

"That was low Brooke," Nathan said as he shook his head.

"Aw come here," Brooke said as she pulled him from the collar of his shirt and pulled him in for a kiss.

Their kisses went from slow and gentle, to quick and passionate in record time.

Too bad for them their was a knock at the door.

Nathan and Brooke broke apart reluctantly, and Nathan went to answer the door.

He was surprised to see who was at the door.

"Jake? Haley? What are you guys doing here?" Nathan asked, he also noticed that Jake and Haley were holding hands, but decided to let it go…for now.

"Well Jake and I were wondering if you wanted to hang out, seeing as everyone else had their own plans…" Haley explained.

"Brooke? What are you doing here?" Jake asked as he noticed that Brooke was sitting on the couch.

"What? Me? Oh nothing…I just came by to see if…Nathan wanted to hang out," Brooke said nervously as she walked over to the door.

Haley eyed her.

"Then why didn't you call us?" Haley asked confusedly.

"I was…but…Nathan's house was closer to me…so I came here first," Brooke explained.

"Okay…well…we're here now," Haley smiled.

"Yeah lets go somewhere," Jake said.

"Like where?" Brooke asked.

"Ooh! I know! Let's go to the park!" Haley suggested excitedly.

"I'm cool with that," Jake said.

"Yeah why not…there should be a basketball court there," Nathan shrugged.

"Sounds perfect!" Brooke said as she went over to Haley, and turned to look at Nathan.

"Are we gonna walk there or take someone's car?" Brooke asked.

"Let's take my car," Nathan said.

Everyone agreed and got into the car; Nathan driving, Brooke shotgun, and Jake and Haley in the backseat.

(10 minutes later)

"We're here!" Nathan announced.

"Great!" Brooke said as she got out of the car.

"Let's do this!" Jake said as he got out as well.

"Come on Nate," Haley said as she got out.

"Okay," Nathan said distractedly as he watched Haley get out of the car and jump on Jake's back laughing.

He shook his head and got out of the car.

"Ooh Jake lets go on the swings!" Haley said as she pulled Jake to the swings.

"Aye Aye Captain!" Jake saluted her as she pulled him.

Nathan was just staring at them, and Brooke noticed.

"Hey what's wrong?" she asked.

"Huh? Oh nothing," Nathan answered as he kept his gaze on Jake and Haley.

Jake was pushing Haley on the swing as she continued to laugh.

Brooke looked at Nathan again.

He turned around and saw her looking at him, and he sighed.

"It's just…when did Jake and Haley get so buddy-buddy?" he asked.

"I don't know, since he came back, I guess," Brooke shrugged. "Why?"

"It just seems weird I guess…its not like her to move on so quickly," Nathan said.

Brooke looked at him confused.

"Well look at her Nate…she's happy…did you want her to suffer and mope after you?" she asked.

"Of course not, I just thought that our relationship meant more to her. Not even a week later and she's already moving on to Jake," Nathan said.

"Nate I think your being a tad hypocritical," Brooke said.

"What? How?" Nathan said slightly offended.

"Well technically…you cheated on her, while you were drunk, might I add…you didn't tell her about it…you broke up with her…and you have moved on to me," Brooke reasoned. "Sounds to me, like your more a fault than she is."

"Don't lecture me Brooke, I know what I did. No, wait, scratch that, what WE did," Nathan snapped.

Brooke raised her hands in surrender,

"Your right…and what we did was horrible…but I think we should tell her," Brooke said.

"What!" Nathan exclaimed. "Are you on crack?! If we tell her, we are both screwed!"

Brooke looked back towards Jake and Haley's direction to make sure they didn't hear Nathan's outburst.

Thankfully, they were too wrapped up in each other to notice.

"Keep it down Nate," Brooke warned.

Nathan just continued to look at her.

"Look…I don't like lying to her, and ever since that night it's all I've been doing, and I want it to stop. Haley deserves the truth…and the truth can only bring us closer together," Brooke said.

Nathan sighed and nodded reluctantly.

"Your right…we should tell her…lets just not do it today…please," Nathan said.

"Alright…now lets go interrupt the love birds," Brooke laughed as she looped her arm through Nathan's.

Nathan groaned, "Don't call them that."

Brooke just laughed, and continued to pull him towards the swings.

When they walked up to Jake and Haley they laughed at the scene before them:

Haley was trying to push Jake on the swing, and Jake was trying to leave as much dead weight as possible to make it harder for her.

"Come on Haley," Jake whined playfully.

"Jake I can't…" Haley said as she struggled to push him.

She pushed so hard that her hands slipped down, so now her hands were pushing his butt, but she was too preoccupied with trying to make the swing move to notice.

Jake however did notice and smirked.

"Haley if you wanted to cop a feel all you had to do was ask," Jake said as he laughed at her reaction.

Haley hands snapped back and she lost her balance and fell back onto her butt.

Jake got up off the swing and went to help her up.

But Nathan also went to help her up.

Brooke saw this and jumped on Nathan's back, which cause him to fall as well.

"Ow! Brooke! What the hell!" Nathan exclaimed.

He was face down on the grass and Brooke was still on his back.

Jake and Haley had yet to notice since Jake was picking her up.

"Nathan what is wrong with you!" Brooke whispered harshly.

"What did I do!" Nathan asked bewildered.

"You were about to pick her up when you saw that Jake was going to," she explained quietly.

"He could have dropped her again!" Nathan reasoned.

"Nate, why would he do that?" Broke asked him as she stood up.

"I don't know…Jake's weird like that," Nathan said as he stood up as well.

"You're really losing it Nate," Brooke said as she shook her head and walked over towards Jake and Haley, leaving Nathan alone.

"I am?" Nathan asked himself.

He shrugged and followed Brooke.

"Hey guys! Haley are you okay?" Brooke asked.

Jake had picked her up, and she seemed fine, but Brooke wanted to make sure.

"Oh yeah I'm fine…but there's something wrong with Jake's leg," Haley said innocently.

"There is?" Jake asked as he looked down at his leg.

"Yup," Haley said before she kicked him.

"Ow!" Jake exclaimed as he rubbed his leg to soothe the pain, then he got up and smiled. "Oh I get it you're getting back at me since I got you all hot and bothered, I understand, I'm too much for you…it's okay Haley, I usually have that affect on women."

Haley just gave him a look and Jake stopped smiling.

"You're gonna regret that Jageilski," Haley warned in a low voice.

"It's true Jake, she has the ability to castrate you," Brooke told him seriously.

His eyes widened, and his hands immediately went to cover his manhood.

"No please! Spare me! I have a daughter!" Jake exclaimed.

Haley and Brooke looked at each other and laughed.

"You're such a loser Jake," Nathan said with a shake of his head.

"Hey! I bet if it were your balls on the line you would be saying differently," Jake defended.

Nathan shrugged, "I don't know…probably."

Brooke just laughed, "Whatever Nate."

"Alright enough of this, suddenly being here doesn't interest me as much as it did before," Haley said.

"I wonder why," Jake said playfully.

Haley just stuck her tongue out in response.

"Haley's right this is boring," Brooke said.

"Yeah maybe we could…" Nathan trailed off as someone caught his eye.

"What?" Brooke asked.

"Hey guys is that Lucas?" Nathan asked.

"Where?" Haley asked.

"Over there by the sidewalk," Nathan said.

"Hey that is Lucas," Brooke said.

"I thought he had a date, what's he doing here?" Haley asked.

"Let's go ask him," Jake said.

"Yeah let's go," Haley agreed.

Jake started going towards him but noticed that Haley wasn't following, so he rolled his eyes playfully and pointed to his back. "Get on."

Haley smiled and jumped on his back.

Once Haley was on right, Jake ran towards Lucas, leaving Brooke and Nathan alone once again.

"They are so cute," Brooke giggled.

"You're cute," Nathan countered.

"Down boy, let's go see Lucas, before you start getting all frisky," Brooke said as she walked away.

Nathan sighed and reluctantly followed.

"Hey Luke!" Brooke said.

"Hey," Nathan said.

"What's up guys?" Lucas said.

"Don't give us that Lucas, what are you doing here?" Haley asked going straight to the point.

"Yeah Lucas, we thought you had a date," Jake said.

Lucas looked down at his feet. "It didn't work out."

"She was a psycho wasn't she? See Luke I told you that anyone who wanted to go on a date in the afternoon was crazy," Nathan said.

"What? No she just wasn't my type," Lucas explained.

"Aw Luke you'll find somebody," Brooke said.

"Hey! Lucas I just remembered, my sister told me she was gonna move back!" Haley said excitedly.

"Which one?" Lucas asked.

"Taylor!" Haley exclaimed.

Lucas's eyes widened while Brooke and Nathan smirked, Jake on the other hand had no idea what was going on so just continued to listen to the conversation.

"She is?" Lucas asked.

"Yeah she's coming on Friday, I can't believe I forgot," Haley said.

"Lucas this is so perfect!" Brooke exclaimed.

"Totally," Nathan agreed.

"Will someone tell me what's going on?" Jake asked.

"Oh sorry Jake, it's just that before Taylor left she and Lucas were dating, yes I know what a shocker, but when she was gonna leave they didn't want to deal with the whole long distance thing so they broke up, but she promised she would come back," Haley explained.

"Oh," Jake said dumbfounded.

"Thanks Haley," Lucas said sarcastically.

Haley just smiled cheekily.

"Well I'm gonna go…do stuff," Lucas said awkwardly.

"I'll go with you," Nathan said.

"No!" Lucas said quickly. "I have to get ready for T — something."

"Oh please Lucas we know you want to go get ready for my sister," Haley said laughing.

"Whatever," Lucas said defeatedly. "I'll see you guys later."

"Bye," they all said in unison as they watched Lucas walk away.

"Come on Jakey we should get going too," Haley said.

"You're right I have to go get Jenny," Jake said.

"I could drop you off," Nathan suggested.

"Nah it's cool," Jake said. "Bye guys."

"Bye," Haley said.

Nathan and Brooke watched them walk away hand in hand.

"I guess love is in the air," Brooke said as she looked up at Nathan.

When Jake and Haley were out of sight Brooke took hold of his hand.

Nathan looked down at their clasped hands.

"I guess it is."

A.N: Are you guys happy? I went against my beliefs and I didn't give you a cliffhanger! And I know I kinda confused you with Nathan's reaction to Jake and Haley, but I want to make you guys guess. Is he jealous? Overly protective? Ha! Only I know suckas! But I still love you, and I will love you even more if you review. Seriously, reviews keep me from going emo, so unless you want me dead…review!

:D
