Haley closed her front door behind her. She was still thinking about her night with Nathan. As much as she tried, she couldn't get him out of her head. She thought of everything. The dinner, his reactions, his eyes.

"You look awfully happy." Haley turned to see her father. She smiled at him widely.

"I had a nice night." She answered heading towards the stairs.

"That's nice, sweetie. I hope you have many more." Dan walked into one of the many dens that filled their home and gave Haley a final smile as he closed the door. Haley slowly bent down and took her flats off, one by one. She looked towards the clock. It was 2:45 am.

"You won't believe what my brother told me today." Haley quickly stood up at the sound of the familiar voice and turned around.

"What'd he tell you, Luke? Amuse me. Tell me what Tim told you." She asked acting as if she didn't know already. She crossed her arms over her chest still holding her flats.

"He told me," Lucas slowly walked towards her. "That he saw my fiancée out with Nathan. A poor kid. Some kid that me and my friends beat up for fun. You can just imagine my face when I heard that and my reaction to it."

Haley rolled her eyes. "And?"

"And, why the hell were you out with him? Haley," He took another step towards her. "You don't need people like that in your life."

"And you know who I need in my life and who I don't?" Haley asked in a tone, pointing to him with her flats. "I can't believe you go with your moron of a brother to beat him up. What is it a hobby to beat people like him up? Do you find some-"

"Yes, Haley, I know what's right for you. And, stay out of my business."

Haley laughed. "My father knows what best. You're my fiancé. You're supposed to stand by my decisions and-"

"I don't like you doing whatever you're doing with him." Lucas cut off, finally reaching her.

"And I'm going to keep doing it." Haley said shocked by Lucas, narrowing her eyes at him. Lucas stared at her for a moment and she stared back. She wanted to ask what but chose not too. She was actually afraid to ask what was on his mind. What he was thinking. His stare was starting to bother her.

"What?" she finally asked, getting annoyed from her fiancé's stare. Why was he acting like that? Why did he hate it so much that she was with Nathan? Lucas slightly shook his head and then without a word or sound from his mouth, he left the room, not looking back at her.

"Wow. That was---intense I guess." Haley quickly turned around and looked towards the top of the stairs. She couldn't believe who was standing at the top of the stairs.

"OH MY GOD!" Haley dropped her shoes and quickly ran up the stairs. "Jake," She jumped into his arms and he caught her laughing. "When did you get in?" she asked holding tightly onto him.

"When I can breath, I'll tell you." He answered. Haley rolled her eyes and looked at him. He still looked like he did the last time he saw her. He had left shortly after her mother had been sent away. And she had kept in touch with him while he was away. She had done it with all her siblings.

Haley raised her eyebrows at him, crossing her arms over her chest impatiently. "I got in today. I heard mom was coming back so, Derek and I got on a plane as fast as I could." Jake explained.

"Cool."

"So, what was all of that about?" Jake asked walking past her. A breeze was sent her way. Haley looked at him confused. She had forgotten all about her spat with Lucas.

"What?" she asked following him down the stairs.

"That little spat with Lucas."

"Oh-"

"Yeah oh. Who's Nathan?"

"Someone I'm trying to get to know better, but Lucas doesn't like it."

"Ooo, why?" he asked looking at her over his shoulder.

"Shut up!" Haley hit his arm playfully. "I don't know." she lied. She wasn't going to tell Jake that she was out with a poor kid. He was just like her father. He would flip if he found out. Anyone in her family would.

"Well, men are stupid. Maybe he's not the one." Haley looked at Jake shocked. How could he say that? She loved Lucas. She thought she picked the perfect person to spend forever with. Not a….mistake.

"Uh…." Haley couldn't speak. She didn't know how to fight back. She thought her family loved Lucas. After all, they did take him in after his parents death.

"Just a thought, Haley. Don't look so torn up." Jake said patting her shoulder and walked past her; towards Dan's den. Haley watched him leave, a pout on her face. Did he really mean what he said? He didn't like Lucas? He didn't think he was the one for her?

"Hey, Nate!" Brooke cheered as Nathan walked up his front porch holding a basketball with a familiar face behind him. He had taken Haley home and then went to the court to play some ball. It was later than he originally thought it was.

"Hey, Brooke. Peyton." Nathan kissed Brooke on the cheek and then did the same with Peyton. He sat down on a couch they had on the porch. It was brown and old, breaking on the side. But, it was comfy and it was a place to sit down at if they didn't want to sit on the steps or on the side. Both Brooke and Peyton were sitting on the side of the porch. Nathan played with the basketball in his hands.

"Nate, do you think I'm pretty?" Brooke asked worried, playing with her fingers.

"Brooke, you're gorgeous. Just look at Junk. He's practically drooling." Brooke looked at Junk and Junk quickly snapped out of it, quickly looking away from her brown eyes. Brooke burst out laughing, clapping her hands together. Junk was leaning against the porch, his leg on the second step. Junk looked at Nathan.

"Thanks man, I thought we were supposed to be friends." Nathan laughed and shrugged. "Her hair smells like strawberries."

Nathan shook his head. "No man, Brooke's smells like lavender , Peyton's smells like peaches, and Haley's smells like strawberries." Nathan saw the look the three of them were giving him. "What?" he asked innocently.

"Do you want to get your ass kicked again?" Junk asked standing up.

"Hey, its not my fault your sister sleeps in my bed." Junk opened his mouth wide.

"Shut up!" Peyton said.

"You sleep in his bed?" Junk asked looking at Peyton. Nathan stared at Peyton waiting to hear her answer. He didn't know actually why Peyton slept in his bed when she stayed over. And once she started it, Brooke started to do it too. He always thought that it made her feel safer but now, he was getting second thoughts. Peyton stared at Nathan and Junk not knowing what to say. She didn't know if the truth was going to bother Nathan or make Junk angry. And she didn't want to start a fight between the two boys. "What the couch isn't good enough?"

"No." Brooke answered for her truthfully. Brooke looked at Peyton and then the guys. "It isn't. I'm sorry, Nathan but that thing is not comfy. It has like no cushion."

"I think it does." Nathan said looking down at his ball. He traced the lines with his fingernail.

"You should change it with the one you're sitting on." Brooke pointed to the couch. Nathan looked down at the couch. He ripped one of the strings hanging off.

"It's broken."

"Who cares? The one inside-"

"Who cares, we have a surprise for you." Peyton cut off Brooke. Brooke nodded her head excitedly looking at Peyton and then Nathan.

Nathan looked at them confused as Brooke smiled big. "What?"

"How much do you love me?" Brooke cheered sitting up straight.

"Brooke," Nathan said giving her a look. He was tired of playing games. "Okay fine, I got you something."

"What?"

"This." Brooke said tossing a Checkers bag to him. Nathan caught the bag, dropping the ball on the porch. The ball bounced a few times before rolling down the steps. Junk caught the ball before it rolled into the street. Nathan could smell the sent from the food. He quickly opened the bag and looked inside.

"Thank you." Nathan said still looking inside. He got up and gave Brooke a hug. He sat back down and pulled the burger out. He started to unravel the wrapping. Even though he had eaten with Haley, he was still hungry. Still starving actually.

"Well, double the love then Nate, because," Peyton pulled something from her side. "I got you some food too." She tossed him the bag and he caught it again, keeping the other burger in his lap.

"You're kidding me? You both got me food?" Both girls nodded their heads smiling at him. Nathan put the food down on the couch and stood up. He hugged both girls. "Thank you. I love you both." Nathan walked back towards the couch and grabbed the food.

"That's not all we got you." Brooke said. Nathan looked up from the food.

"There's more?" Brooke and Peyton nodded their heads.

"Yup. Inside." Peyton said pointing inside his house. Nathan looked towards the door and then back at the girls. They both nodded their heads again. Nathan quickly moved the food off of his lap and quickly got up from the couch with only one word in his mind. Mom.

R&R PLEASE!
