"What the hell are you doing here, Felix?" Lucas asked angrily.
"Now is that any way to speak to an old friend?"
"We were never friends."
"I was just…taking a vacation with my friends," Felix explained.
"I…I have to go," Brooke said and ran out of the room.
"Brooke!" Lucas yelled and ran after her.
"I should go too…" Peyton said and walked towards the elevators.
"What's their problem? They ran out of here like a bat out of hell."
"Maybe they just didn't like the company," Nathan commented.
"What? Don't tell me that they're still mad about what happened the last time?"
"You mean when you hit on my wife, sabotaged Peyton's locker and were a jackass to Brooke?"
"It was just some harmless fun."
Nathan didn't need to hear the rest. He turned to his wife. "Haley, are you coming?" he asked, getting ready to leave.
"You go ahead. I think I'm going to have a little chat with Felix over here," she said.
"Why?"
"Just because. Don't worry, I'll come look for you soon."
"Are you sure?" he asked, unsure. He didn't really feel comfortable with leaving Haley alone with Felix. On the other hand, he also knew that Haley could take care of herself.
"Yeah."
"Okay, I'll just be in our room. Hurry, okay?"
"I will."
Nathan gave Haley a kiss and Felix one last glare before he too left.
"Wow," Haley said.
"What?" Felix asked.
"It's just that I have never seen anyone clear out a room as fast as you just did."
"We weren't exactly on the best terms when I left for boarding school."
"I figured."
"So I see that you're back. All done with the tour?"
"Yep."
"Was it everything you imagined it to be?"
"Just cut the crap, Felix, and ask what you really want to know."
"How you been?"
"Fine, you?"
"Okay."
"Good."
"And the others?"
"With the others I'm assuming you mean Brooke?"
"No, just the others."
"They're pretty good to."
"Great."
"Mhm…"
"So, what was it you wanted to talk about?" Felix asked, actually feeling somewhat uncomfortable.
"Well, since the others looked like they could have killed you when they saw you, I was just wondering why?"
"I told you. We weren't on the best terms when I left."
"You were never on good terms, Felix."
"True."
"So…?"
"I kind of wrote dyke on Peyton's locker and Brooke found out and dumped me."
"You did what?!"
"It was a mistake. I know that now."
"But why would you do it in the first place?"
"I was angry."
"On what?""
"On everything. I wasn't thinking."
"Clearly. No wonder they're mad at you."
"I get that Brooke, Peyton and Lucas are mad at me but I don't get why Nathan is."
"He just thinks you're an ass."
"Maybe. Or he's still mad about the fact that I hit on you once."
"Maybe."
"So what have I missed?"
"What do you mean?"
"You know, in Tree hill. What has happened while I was away?"
"A lot has happened since you left."
"Like?"
"Well, Nathan and I are back together and Brooke and Lucas are kind of together…"
"Wait. Kind of?"
"Well, they have been together on and off and now I think it's off but you never know how long that's going to last."
"Oh."
"Yeah…There have also been others things like, attempted murder, shootings, crashes…and you know that time capsule you guys did? It's been released."
"Wait, back up…What?"
"Never mind. Just don't make any jokes about killing or something."
"Don't worry, I won't."
"Good. But don't get me wrong, there's been good stuff to."
"After that I certainly hope so."
"Yeah, like today we went shopping which was a lot of fun and just last night I won tickets to see Bon Jovi live. That's why we're here."
"You're going too?"
"Don't tell me…"
"I'm going."
"Great…"
Meanwhile Brooke and Lucas were talking in Brooke's room.
"I just can't believe that he's here, you know," Brooke said.
"I know."
"I'm not even sad, I'm just angry for what he did to Peyton and all, and if I hadn't gotten out of there I probably would have smacked him."
"Yeah, that thought crossed my mind as well."
"I'm just shocked. I didn't think that I would see him again."
"None of us did."
"It's a good thing that he's out of my life. Trust me, breaking up with Felix was the best thing I ever did."
"I couldn't agree more," Lucas said and kissed Brooke gently on the lips.
"What are you doing?" Brooke whispered.
"Just being there. You want me to stop?"
"I really, really don't," Brooke said and kissed Lucas and it got more and more passionate by the minute…
Nathan was sitting alone in his and Haley's hotel room waiting for Haley when he suddenly heard a knock on the door. 'Maybe Haley forgot her key…' he thought. He walked towards the door and when he opened he saw that it was none other than…
"Peyton. What are you doing here?" Nathan asked.
"I just didn't want to be alone. Can I come in?"
"Yeah, sure."
"Where's Haley?" Peyton asked when she noticed that there was no one else in the room.
"She's with Felix," he told her, still not happy about it.
"What? Why?"
"You're guess is as good as mine. She said she just wanted to talk to him. She'll be here soon."
"Okay. And what are you doing here? By yourself?"
"Nothing."
"That's sound like a lot of fun."
"It's not."
"You want to go do something?"
"Like what?"
"I don't know. I'll know it when I see it. So…?"
"Why not? Are we going to get Lucas and Brooke?"
"I think they're too busy with each other that they won't want to go anywhere except maybe bed."
"You're probably right."
"Of course I am."
"So how do you feel about it anyway? Lucas and Brooke?"
"Let's just say that I have accepted it."
"I guess that's something…"
"Anyway, I don't want to talk about me."
"What do you want to talk about then?"
"I don't want to talk. I want to have some fun," Peyton said and dragged Nathan by the arm not even knowing where she was going.
"I should go and find Nathan," Haley said.
"Sure. I'll just do…something. Try and find my friends."
"Unless you want to come with?"
"To see Nathan? I don't think so."
"Come on. You can't fight forever plus if he's not in our room I need someone who's going to help me find him."
"And that would be me?"
"Do you see anyone else? I know that I should be hating you because of what you did to my friends but I don't. We all make mistakes, right? God knows I have made my share of mistakes. So are you coming?"
"Fine, but don't say I didn't warn you."
Five minutes later they were in Haley and Nathans room.
"I guess he's not here," Haley said, looking around.
"Guess not."
"Let's go."
"Let's go where?"
"Let's go find him."
"Right," Felix said and then the two of them walked out of the room closing the door behind them.
There it was, another chapter. I hope you liked it. I'm sorry all brucas fans that the brucas was really short but at least it was something and it will get longer and better later on. Please review and I'll see you next time!
