Brooke woke up the next morning with a smile on her face. Did last night really happen. She went downstairs and saw Sam on the couch.

" So how did your date go with Julian?" Sam asked.

" It was good." Brooke said.

Brooke went into the kitchen and took out some orange juice.

" Just good?" Sam asked when she sat down on the island stools.

" Ok, it was great." Brooke said.

" What did you guys do?" Sam asked.

" Shouldn't you be going to school now?" Brooke asked with a smile.

Sam looked at the clock and sighed heavily.

" Yes, but I expect details when I come back." Sam said irritated.

" Alright." Brooke said.

When Sam left, Brooke decided to go chek and see if there were any messages on the phone. 1 from Peyton, 1 from Lucas, 1 from Haley, and... 2 from Julian! Brooke decided to check the ones from Julian.

" Hey Brooke, I had an awesome time last night. I wanted to know if you wanted to go to the river walk today. Just wanted to know. Call me."

" Oh Brooke, I need to talk to you about the movie later today too. Call me."

Brooke smiled. Had she ever smiled this much in the matter of 30 minutes? She decided to check the one from Peyton.

" How did you date go? Hope you had fun. Call me."

Wow, Brooke was expecting a little more from her friend. She checked the one from Luke.

" Hey Brooke, where did you and Julian go last night. Please come and meet me sometime today."

Lucas sounded a little upset. Brooke shook it off and just thought it was just a Peyton problem. She checked the one from Haley.

" Hey Brookie, How did your date go with Julian? I Want Details!"

Brooke laughed. She decided to go get dressed for the day.


Lucas was still at his house that day, Peyton was making breakfast. They had just spent 20 minutes arguing over Lucas's favorite food. How did she not know his favorite was French toast? Everyone knew that. Haley, Brooke, Karen. Lucas went into the kitchen. They had to make up. Though he had gotten over Brooke and Julian's date he still felt a little sting of pain. But he loved Peyton.

" Lukey, I'm so sorry that I didn't know you're favorite food. It's just that we haven't been together in so long." Peyton said.

Lucas looked down and sighed.

" Yeah maybe that's just it." Lucas said.

They sat at the table thinking. It had been what a month now since Vegas.

" So what do we do?" Peyton asked. She wanted to make this marriage work.

" Maybe go to marriage counseling." Lucas said.

" I hate marriage counseling. I feel like then we can't work out our relationship on our own and that we need an outsider telling us what to do." Peyton said.

" Peyton I really want this marriage to work." Lucas said.

" Me too." Peyton said.

They sat in silence for 20 seconds when Peyton gave in.

" Fine, we'll go to marriage counseling." Peyton said with a sigh.

Lucas gave her a kiss on the forhead.

" Everything's going to work out." Lucas said.

" I hope so." Peyton said remembering the date. She didn't expect her reaction to be like that. Deep down she was... she was Jealous.


Haley and Nathan sat down on the couch, she had told Jamie that yesterday the incident with Nathan was just that she and him were wrestling and that Haley had hit her head and that Nathan had examined it.

Haley and Nathan were quiet. Nathan wanted to speak, but was afraid that Haley would snap on him. He went for it.

" Haley I think you're overreacting a little bit. I mean we took care of the situation." Nathan said.

" Yeah but what if it was worse, what if we were naked or something! What would we have told him then." Haley said.

Nathan sighed.

" Yeah but we didn't go that far." Nathan said.

Haley rolled her eyes. She seemed like she was about to cry. And before Nathan could ask her if she was going to, she did.

" Haley why are you crying?" Nathan asked.

" Because, it's just. I feel like a bad mother." Haley said.

Nathan wrapped his arms around her.

" It's not your fault. It's my fault." Nathan said.

" It's my fault too. But it's just that what mother doesn't know her son is home, what mother doesn't spend time with her kid. I mean half the time he's here we send him off to Deb, and what mother..." Haley trailed off into sobs.

Nathan didn't know what to say. He didn't know Haley felt this way. His eyes were now opened to it all too. They didn't hang out with Jamie. They didn't ever know he was home either. All he could do for now was sit there and just hold his crying wife in his arms.
