1Chapter 15Acceptance

Brooke ran out of the house crying. Lucas looked at Peyton," I got to go..." and

he ran out of the house. "Brooke... wait" Lucas yelled.

He finally caught up to her and gently touched her shoulder and turned her around.

Brooke's face was red, puffy and sticky with tears.

"Why...Lucas?" Brooke asked all choked up."Peyton?""Brooke it's not what you think..." Lucas started to say. "What I think? Well Lucas what I think is that my boyfriend is sneaking around behind my back with his ex-girlfriend and my ex-friend!" Brooke yelled her sadness replaced by anger."Brooke... nothing happened!" Lucas said a little louder. Brooke smirked," What lie are you going to tell me next huh? I kissed Peyton Brooke..."(Brooke said in her best Lucas voice)

oh but wait that's the truth!" Brooke stated. Fear overcame Lucas's eyes." I saw you with Peyton the other night. I was going to come talk you about it but found Peyton at your house this morning Luke!" Brooke said. She started to choke up knowing what she had to say next,"Lucas I love you... but... sometimes loves not enough...I can't do this anymore...I can't keep on getting hurt." Brooke started to cry again. "Brooke...I don't want to lose you...gosh...can we at least be friends..." Lucas looked at her tears in his eyes."I don't think so..." and with that Brooke left.

Knock! Knock! Knock!

"Coming..." Haley yelled. Haley came out of her bedroom wearing gray sweat pants and a simple tank top with her hair in a messy bun. Her tank top rose a little due to her expanding belly. Haley got to the door and opened it.

"Nathan what are you doing here?" Haley said harshly and trying to avoid his blue orbs.

"I came here to see you...and apologize...""Nathan you have nothing to be sorry for. I get it you want Rachel." Haley said looking at the ground. Nathan walked in and put flowers on the table he thought to himself 'This is not going to be easy'.

He walked over to Haley and wrapped his arms around her."Nathan..."Haley tried to push him away but lost the battle.

"Haley look into my eyes..." Nathan said gently but with a slight edge."No...""Haley...""I can't..."Haley let a tear fall down her cheek.

Nathan brought his hand to her face and wiped the tear away. Haley closed her eyes. Nathan leant forward and kissed her gently pulling her as close as possible to him. Haley slightly responded. Nathan pulled back,"Haley! I don't want Rachel I want you! Only you! Not only do I want you but I need you I love you Haley James. I know we are having a tough time, but we'll get through it together. I promise don't ever doubt my love for it will never waver I will always love you Always and Forever.

Haley cried into Nathan's chest," I don't want to get hurt again." "You won't..." Haley looked up," I trust you..." She whispered.

"Thanks" Nathan said. They continued to kiss.

Haley moaned," I think we should make up the time we lost." Nathan smirked and picked Haley up bridal style and ran towards the bedroom. Haley squealed.

Lucas walked back into his house. "Is everything okay?" Peyton asked. "Brooke amd I broke up."

"Oh... Luke...I'm so sorry." Peyton began.

"Are you really?" Lucas said harshly.

"What is that suppose to mean?" Peyton rose her voice slightly.

"You walk into my life when I'm actually happy for once! Now part of that happiness left me!"Lucas yelled angrily.

Peyton looked at him with teary eyes.

"I think you should leave..." Lucas said with edge in his voice. "Fine!" Peyton cried as she slammed the door.

Lucas sat there trying to sort out his emotions.
