CHAPTER 16

"What is it?" Brooke asked.

"I have something to ask you..."

"What?" she asked.

Nathan smiled and bent down to one knee, and Brooke's eyes widened as she realized what he was gonna do.

"Brooke I love you, and...I was wondering if you would be my fiance, and I don't have some big speech made up...so...would you?" Nathan asked uneasily.

"Wow...Nathan I love you too, but don't you think it's a little too early to get married?" she asked.

Nathan sighed and stood up as he took a hold of her hands.

"Of course I do," he said sincerely.

Brooke looked confused. "But didn't you just propose to me?"

Nathan smiled. "Technically...I just asked if you wanted to be my fiance...we could be engaged for years before even getting married."

"Oh..." Brooke said dumbfounded. "But then why not wait to ask me? Why now?"

"Because I want to make sure that we are gonna be together for the rest of our lives," he said simply. "And if it means asking you now then so be it...so what do you say?"

Brooke gave him a watery smile before she jumped into his arms. "Of course Nate."

Nathan smiled as he hugged her.

His life was gonna be so great.

"Haleyyy," Jake whined.

"No Jake," Haley said firmly.

Jake smirked evilly as he looked down at Jenny, who was in his arms. He began to whisper in her ear, and Haley raised her eyebrow.

Jenny then started laughing and looked at Haley. "Hawwweyyy!"

Haley smiled softly at the little girl and looked back at Jake with a glare.

"Fine," she relented.

"Yes!" Jake cheered.

"But only for today," Haley told him. "I can't stay tomorrow."

Jake pouted. "Why not?"

"Because tomorrow is Sunday and my sister has been here since Friday," Haley explained. "I haven't seen her in like, ever."

Jake nodded. "Okay fine, but that just means we're gonna have to do some craaazy stuff today."

Haley smiled. "Jake it's almost 9:30, the day is almost over."

"Then I guess we're just gonna have to make it a craaazy night," Jake shrugged.

"How are we suppose to have a 'craaazy' night with Jenny falling asleep on us," Haley said as she pointed to the baby who was dozing off in Jake's arms.

"Are you trying to burst my bubble Hales?" Jake asked her sullenly.

"Aw...of course not," Haley told him. "Well...not on purpose anyway."

"Cool," Jake smiled. "Then let's eat."

They walked into the kitchen and Haley walked over to the fridge. She opened and looked at Jake with a frown.

"Uh...Jake," she called.

"Yeah?" he said as he looked at her.

"I don't mean to burst your bubble...again...but," Haley pointed at the fridge. "There's nothing in here."

"What?" Jake exclaimed and ran over. He looked and it was indeed empty. "Oh crap."

Haley sighed. "You forgot to go to the grocery store didn't you?"

"Yes?" Jake said .

Haley shook her head and laughed. "I guess this is why god invented takeout."

Jake smiled. "Damn straight."

Haley smiled, but then it went away. "Wait...we have another problem."

Jake's smiled vanished as well. "What?"

"Chinese or pizza?" she asked with a smile.

--------------

"I had a great time Lucas," Taylor said as Lucas dropped her off at her house, he seemed to have forgotten the day before that he knew where Haley kept the spare hidden, so when he told Taylor she just laughed and told him to take her home.

"Yeah well...I had a great time too," he smiled. The night before was completely innocent, Lucas slept in his mother's room while Taylor slept in his, and the next morning they decided to go to the arcade where Taylor beat Lucas at everything.

Taylor unbuckled her seatbelt and leaned over to Lucas and gave him a light kiss. When she pulled away she smiled at the fact that he still had his eyes closed.

"Bye Luke," she said softly and exited the car.

"Bye," he whispered as he watched her lift the door mat to get the spare key.

"I love you," he said as he watched her into her house.

--------------

Peyton was on her bed drawing. She was having a dull weekend so far and she was guessing it was because of the Felix thing.

But then she started thinking about Chris and Chase.

She liked them both but...she also liked Felix.

She couldn't tell who she liked the most.

So now she only had one thought...

Oh. crap.

--------------

Chase was seated at his computer when his phone started to ring. He looked at the name and rolled his eyes.

Chris.

He knew it wasn't fair for him to be angry at Chris when he had no idea what he did wrong, but it still didn't stop him.

He really liked Peyton and he didn't think it was fair that, Chris, the guy who always gets the girl, liked her too. It just made things so unfair.

Friend or not, Chase thought. I'm not gonna let him take Peyton from me.

Chase Adams, the shy guy, was ready to fight for the girl he wanted, and nothing and no one was going to stop him.

--------------

Chris closed his phone as he sighed.

What the hell is wrong with him? Chris thought.

He had no idea what was going on with his friend. One minute they were having a great time and the next Chase is saying something about not feeling well and leaves. Then when he tries to call him, Chase doesn't answer.

I'm gonna find out, Chris thought firmly.

He was going to find out what was wrong with his best friend, even if it was the last thing he did.

-------------

I'm such an idiot! Felix thought as he hit his head on his bedroom door repeatedly from the hallway.

"What's wrong with you?" Anna asked him when she stepped out of her room into the hallway.

"Nothing," he grumbled. "What are you doing here anyway?"

"Uh...I live here?" she said with a roll of her eyes.

"You told me you were going to the mall," he told her.

"Oh...I decided not to go," she answered simply. "So again...what's wrong?"

"I said nothing!" he exclaimed as he entered his room and slammed the door behind him.

Anna looked at his door and shook her head sadly.

He must have talked to Peyton, she thought knowingly as she walked back into her room.

--------------

Oh...my...god, Brooke thought. I'm engaged.

Brooke was lying in her bed, thinking about the night's events, Nathan had just dropped her off and she was still giddy.

I'm going to be Mrs. Nathan Scott, she thought with a smile.

That last thought lingered in her mind, which gave her another thought.

It's going to be so awesome.
