--------------------------------Tree Hill High gymnasium--------------------------------------------------
"Okay guys" said Lucas looking at his players. "I guess now it's time to make it official so yes Coach Taylor is leaving the team and…"
"That's sucks!!" Said one of the player cutting Lucas off.
"Thank you!! I really enjoy feeling so much love Jeremy." Said Lucas sarcastically. "Anyway…" Said Lucas concentrating on the rest of the team. "We're going to have another coach joining us from next week." He added really happy that Nathan accepted his offer straight away. Lucas could see that Nathan's eyes just light up at the thought to have something to do with the basketball world again. Lucas could even remember his exact words « well…I won't be the best player any more but maybe I can participate in the creation of the best high school team ever! ». Lucas smile but he was interrupted in his thoughts by Jeremy.
"So?! Who is going to replace coach Taylor then?! Your mama?!" Said Jeremy cockily.
Lucas sighed. "You know…I just fed up with your all mister « big-star » attitude! Don't forget that you're just an high school player! You're maybe the best here but don't be so sure of yourself! It is going to cause you more trouble than anything."
"Like what?!" Said Jeremy acting proud.
"Ummm…..Let me think…. What about 50 suicides as a start?!" Lucas pretended to think. "Yeah…We'll do that! Get you ass on the court and do them while I'll talk with the real team players!"
Jeremy stood up and stared at Lucas. He walked on the court and started his suicides without a comments.
Lucas shook his head. What will I do with that kid?! Maybe Nathan can save him from himself. Thought Lucas sadly." Anyway guys the new coach will be coach Scott." He saw the boys confused look. "Let me be clearer…It's going to be Coach Nathan Scott" he said pointing to the blue board on the wall where Nathan's name was. He was the record man of the team... The best player Tree Hill ever had.
Lucas could see that the boys were impressed and Lucas was really pleased with their reaction to it. "Well…For now I want us to…."
"You told her?!" Said Brooke cutting Lucas off. She came into the gym walking like a fury.
Lucas turned around, her glance was black with anger and her hands were shaking." I…I"
"You just shut up! Why on earth did you do that?! She really didn't need to know!!" Added Brooke shouting even louder.
"Come to my office" said Lucas talking loud. He didn't want his team to assist to this scene. "As for you guys…Just practice the defense okay?! I'll be back in a few."
"I would bet on that!!" Said Brooke pocking him with her finger." I'm not even sure you'll be back one day!!" She added seriously.
Lucas took her arm and forced her to his office.
"Are you insane?!" Asked Lucas angry. "How did you dare make a scene in front of MY team?! I'm at work here in case you didn't notice!" Added Lucas with anger. "What is your problem?!"
"What's my problem?!" Asked Brooke even more furious than before. "You're telling to Peyton that you slept with me and I shouldn't be furious! Why on earth did you tell her?! The past should stay in the past and you know that Lucas!!" She added furiously tapping Lucas' desk.
"What are you talking about?!" Lucas shouted back. "Not if it's your business but I wanted to come clean so I told her the truth. She was not the big bad wolf in this break up and she needed to know that! I never told her that I cheated on her with you!" Added Lucas staring at Brooke." There is no way she could have found out! Unless...Unless you told her!" Added Lucas frowning.
"I didn't exactly tell her but she knows and it's all your fault!!" Said Brooke stubbornly." If you didn't open your big mouth in the first place everything will still be fine now!"
"You….I…." Lucas was so angry that he couldn't find his words which was pretty ironic for a writer. "You were the one who somehow revealed the truth to Peyton and you come here to make me a scene?!" Asked Lucas in disbelieve. "You're such a lunatic!!" He added shaking his head. "You better go now!" He added showing her the door.
"You don't understand!!" Added Brooke more out of despair than anger.
Hearing the tone of her voice Lucas sat down.
"I'm going to be the bad one now! I'm the bitch who slept with her fiancé a couple of weeks before her wedding! I'm the cause of the cancellation of her wedding!! That's all people are going to see!!" Added Brooke with tears in her eyes. "Nobody knows my version! Nobody knows that she took you from me twice! Nobody knows that I never stopped loving you but that I buried these feelings deep down and hoped they will disappear one day! I was the first loving you Lucas!!"
"You still love me?!" Asked Lucas not angry anymore, he was just terribly confused and surprised.
"Of course I do!! And I probably always will!" She added before running outside Lucas' office crying.
"I didn't expect that one!" said Lucas loudly. He was so surprised that he couldn't even go after Brooke. He just sat there looking at the door.
----------------------Meanwhile at Naley's--------------------------------
Haley was cleaning James' bedroom when Nathan walked up to her.
"What do you think about that outfit for my first meeting with the team?!" He asked her nervously.
Haley laughed. "It's perfect Nate! Like the 5 other outfits you showed me before... Don't worry that much. The kids are going to love you…Except Jeremy probably but don't worry the kid hate everybody." Added Haley putting a Sponge bob teddy in a big blue plastic box. "You know… Our kid has way too many toys!" She said laughing. "I'm glad my class has been cancelled today for this careers' day!"
Nathan came behind her and kissed her neck. "You're perfect do you know that" he whispered huskily." Maybe you could take a break" he added smirking.
Haley turned around "awww don't do that. I…I think I need to tell you something before Nate". Said Haley seriously. He has to know! I can't hide him this pregnancy. He is strong enough now. She thought trying to bring some courage into herself.
"Okay….tell me your secret wify!" Said Nathan playfully.
Haley kissed his lips softly. "I'm pregnant Nate." She said almost whispering.
Nathan jaw just dropped. Haley tried to see any reaction on his face.
At this moment someone knocked on the door with insistence. "Say something Nate! Anything!" Said Haley frowning.
The person kept knocking.
Haley sighed "I'll be back in 2 minutes." She said to Nathan.
She walked out of the bedroom when Nathan finally came back to reality. "You're pregnant" he croaked. "When did you find out?"
"Let me just handle the person knocking I'll be back." She added.
When she opened the door she saw Peyton standing there. Her eyes were redden with tears. Haley sighed "I'm sorry Peyton it's really not the right time." She said about to close the door.
Peyton thought Haley was just brushing her off. "Please Haley I really need you now. I know I'm not your friend anymore but you're still mine. Lucas called off our wedding because he slept with Brooke!" She said starting to cry again. "I slept in my car last night because i couldn't stay with Brooke any longer! I need my Haley" said Peyton begging. "I really need you."
Haley eyes widen with surprise. Lucas couldn't have done something like that!! She thought to herself. " Come on in." She said shaking her head. She knew that Nathan would be mad for that but she was thinking that it was good to let him some time to process the information. We'll talk about it soon enough she thought to herself.
Haley sat near Peyton on the sofa. "Tell me what happened" Haley asked nicely taking Peyton's hand. I guess the war is over she added to herself.
What will be Nathan's reaction to the pregnancy? What will Haley do after Peyton's story? Does Brooke revelation is going to change everything? Find out in the next chapter!! ;-)
