Brooke got into her car and headed to over to Haley and Lucas's house. The letter in her purse. Brooke got over there quickly. Both cars were there. She knocked on the door.

Lucas saw her there and went to kiss her, "Nice to see you again. Long time no see."

"Lucas, I need to talk to Haley..." Brooke told him.

"She is upstairs...but...I don't know if she wants to see anyone. Is this about Nathan? I really don't think Haley needs to hear about him..."

"Look, Lucas, please...I'll be right back." Brooke made it clear she was going to be

"Fine, just don't even think about bringing his name up."

Brooke headed up to Haley's room. She knocked when she reached the door.

"Come in," Haley called.

"Hey...look Lucas told me about what happened..." Brooke started off the conversation.

"It's okay. Really. I just don't want to talk about him..."

"Oh trust me, I went and slapped him in the face."

Haley was shocked, "Brooke!" Haley couldn't help but smile, it was kind of funny.

"I almost didn't let him explain, but then he did. He is telling the truth, he never lies to me. He wrote this for you. I really think you should read this..."

"I don't know Brooke..."

"You don't have to read it now, but please do."

"Alright...I'll think about it." Haley said. She wasn't sure.

"I am going to go. See you around." Brooke told her.

It was even a moment before Brooke left that Haley decided to open it and read it.

Haley James,

First off...I love you. I meant what I said. I would never want to hurt you. Before you, I never thought I could give my heart to anyone, then you came along, when I least expected it. I started to fall more and more in love with you. I need you.

What you saw must have looked so bad to you. I would not lie to you. Jessica (the girl you saw) is a girl that works for me and my father. She came over saying I left something there that I needed. Then she kept talking, and then coming on to me. I told her that I had a girlfriend who I LOVED, and nothing was worth giving her up for. That is when she grabbed my hands, put them on her chest, and kissed me. I stopped her. I told her we had to talk, and she came in. She sat down, I asked her why she was doing this. She gave me some line about it being a bet that she could sleep with me. I told her it would never happen, and asked her to leave. I would never cheat on you.

I also heard about why you were coming over here. All I can say is wow.

I love you. I hope you can trust me. I hope we can get past this...please come over when you get this...at least talk to me.

Tears filled her eyes. She dropped the letter and grabbed her purse. She told Brooke and Lucas, who were in the kitchen, that she would be right back.

As she left the room Lucas looked over at Brooke.

"What did you do?" He asked with a smile on his face.

"Nathan wrote her that letter. I gave it to her..."

"What was in this letter?"

"Lucas, he didn't do it. He didn't sleep with anyone. It was some tramp from his work trying to come on to him. He loves her Lucas,"

"I swear, if he is lying or if he ever hurts her...I won't be able to control myself," He admitted.

Haley made it over to Nathan's. Right as Haley got to the door, he opened it. He was about to leave to go get Sawyer.

"Nathan...I need to talk to you..." Haley told him.

"Sure, do you want to come in..."

Haley reached up and kissed him but then began to cry.

"Hey--I take it you got the letter...come in," He told her as he put his arm around and her and lead her into the living room. They sat down together.

"I did get the letter. It was so sweet Nathan...it's just...I shouldn't have doubted you."

"Haley, no one could blame you. I know how that must have looked. You are the best girl in the whole world. I never want to lose you."

"I never want to lose you either," Haley admitted. "I have been going out of my mind."

They talked everything over for a while. Nathan gave her more details on Jessica.

"I wasn't even sure I should have told you, I probably would have ended up telling you. It's just, it really was a lot of nothing. I think she was probably drunk."

"I can't blame her...I mean, you are pretty hott. I can see why she would want you." Haley smiled.

It was good to make a joke out of this. To lighten the mood.

"Speaking of wanting me...I heard that you..."

Haley started to turn red, "Hey...."

"Well, isn't that why you were coming over, and had to see what you saw?"

Haley smiled, "I even had these stupid black panties on, complete with matching bra. I was going to surprise you."

"That would have been a great surprise. I am sorry it didn't happen. I'm picturing it in my head right now actually," He smiled.

"Nathan Scott! Don't picture me in your underwear!"

He smiled, "Why not?"

Haley got on top of him and started kissing him. "Because it might lead us to both getting worked up and doing something....something big."

"I do want you Haley, but I just don't think your ready. Tonight isn't special. In fact you are still trying to process that I am not a huge asshole and that I do love you. It's a lot to take in. I also have to get Sawyer."

Haley kissed him again, "Okay, but sooon." Haley told him. "I guess I should get going."

"I love you Haley,"

"I love you too."
