: Nathan's Bedroom :

Nathan is sitting down on his bed playing his x-box. Haley walks into the bedroom and sits down next to him. She starts to kiss his cheek, but he pulls away.

Haley: "I'm sorry, did I do something wrong."

Nathan still playing his game

Nathan: "No, I'm just trying to concentrate on my game."

Haley: "Can't you pause it?"

Haley leans in again and goes to kiss Nathan. Nathan stands up, pausing his game.

Nathan: "Let's not."

Haley: "Let's not what?"

Nathan: "Do this .. I'm not in the mood."

Haley looks shocked.

Haley: "Okay, well do you wanna go to café later on with me, Lucas and Kate."

Nathan: "No. I don't wanna go to the café. I don't wanna hang out with Lucas or with Kate. I just wanna chill by myself. Alone. Without you."

Haley: "Nathan, your being an ass"

Nathan: "So?"

Haley stands up from the bed walking out. Nathan watches her leave, looks disappointed.

: Lucas's Bedroom :

Lucas and Kate are lying on his bed, watching TV. Kate has her head rested against Lucas's chest. They are watching True Lies.

Kate: "I think Jamie Lee Curtis is so sexy in this."

Lucas looks at her, raising an eyebrow.

Lucas: "Really?"

Kate: "Yeah. Stilettos, short black dress and a killer rack. What do you think?"

Lucas looks to the TV and smirks.

Lucas: "Yeah, she's hot, not as hot as you though."

Kate leans up, closer to his face.

Kate: "Liar!"

Kate: "Although, say if we go out on a proper date, you know restaurant and everything I might wear my black stilettos and a short black dress. Can't guarantee I'll have a killer rack, but I'll sure give it a go."

Lucas: "I'm in."

Kate laughs.

Kate: "Then again, if you asked me nicely we could skip the date and go right to desert. A free showing of my little black dress."

She leans up and kisses him. Suddenly the door opens, Kate and Lucas separate. They see Haley walk in, looking a little distressed.

Haley: "Oh. Oh."

Kate: "Hey Haley."

Lucas: "Haley."

Haley: "Oh, I'm so sorry guys. I should have knocked.. or whistled or something to indicate my presence."

Lucas smirks.

Kate: "Its okay."

Haley: "It's just, I'm a little confused. Nathan and I, kinda had a fight.. or something that resembled a fight. He wanted to be alone, I didn't. I didn't know where else to go."

Lucas stands up and walks over to Haley hugging her.

Lucas: "Hales."

Kate stands up and walks over to the door.

Kate: "I'm gonna leave you two to talk."

Haley looks from Kate to Lucas and then back to Kate and pulls away.

Haley: "No, I'll go. I shouldn't have come here."

Lucas: "Don't be stupid. I'm your best friend, you can always come here."

Kate: "Honestly, Haley, it's cool. I promised grandpa I'd go see him anyways. Bye."

Lucas nods to Kate watching her leave. He hugs Haley again.

Haley: "He's just become so different lately. He doesn't talk to me. I don't know what's going on. I feel so lost."

Lucas: "He's probably just stressed. He's moved back in with Dan, that can't be easy. I'm sure there's nothing to worry about."

Lucas walks over to the bed and lies down. Haley walks over to the other side of the bed and lies down next to him.

Haley: "I hope so, and again I'm so sorry for interrupting a possible moment for romance."

Lucas smirks.

Lucas: "It's okay. Haley you're my best friend, you can interrupt me when ever you need to."

Haley looks at the TV

Haley: "True Lies."

Lucas: "Yeah, it's one Kate's favorite Arnie films."

Haley: "How are things going between the two of you?"

Lucas: "Good, great actually. I'm just waiting for something bad to happen."

Haley: "Something bad like what?"

Lucas: "I dunno, but usually when things are going good ..they tend to go down hill pretty fast."

Haley: "We're a couple of pessimists."

Lucas smirks, hugging Haley who tilts her head at the TV.

Haley: "Whoa, Jamie Lee Curtis is really-"

Lucas: "Sexy – popular speculation."

: The Scott House :

Kate arrives outside of Nathan's house. She looks up, taking a deep breath before knocking. Dan answers the door, he smiles.

Dan: "Kate."

Kate: "Hey Mr Scott."

Dan: "Long time, no see. You haven't stopped by in a while. Here to see Nathan."

Kate: "The one and only."

Dan: "Come on in."

Kate walks into the house. Dan shouts up to Nathan. Deb walks into the foyer from the kitchen.

Deb: "Hello Kate."

Kate: "Mrs Scott."

Nathan walks downstairs and over to Kate.

Nathan: "Hey."

Kate: "Hey."

Dan smirks.

Dan: "Kate how about you stay for dinner. Deb is cooking, should be interesting. We can catch up."

Kate: "Oh I-"

Deb: "I promise it will be edible, well at least I hope so."

Kate: "Thanks, I'd love to."

Dan: "Great."

Nathan nods and starts walking back up the stairs. Kate follows. Dan follows Deb back into the kitchen.

Deb: "It'll be nice to have Kate around. She's such a lovely girl and she always managed to keep you in a conversation."

Dan: "That's because she knows her sports. Any idea why our son is getting a visit from his ex girlfriend?"

Deb smirks.

Dan: "Share."

Deb: "Let's just say, earlier Nathan and Haley had a little fight."

Dan: "And the plot thickens."

Nathan sits down on his bed, staring at his game. Kate sits down next to him.

Nathan: "Did Haley send you?"

Kate: "No."

Nathan looks at her in a disbelieving manor.

Kate: "Well not exactly. She needed to talk to Lucas."

Nathan: "Oh."

Kate hits him across the head.

Nathan: "Ouch what was that for?"

Kate: "For being an ass."

Kate and Nathan smirk at one another. Nathan hands her a controller.

Kate: "Oh please Scott, you really want me to kick your ass?"

Nathan: "I'd like to see you try."

Playing on the x-box, the two seem quite competitive.

Kate: "You're so dead."

Nathan hits the last button with somewhat force and smirks. Nathan won the game.

Nathan: "So you'd kick my ass, huh?"

Kate: "Okay, you won."

Nathan: "That's right. "

Nathan gloats. Kate leans back and grabs one of his pillows, hitting him across the head with it. Nathan laughs. Kate then playfully tackles him. Nathan using his strength rolls the two of them over so he is on top. He holds her hands above her head.

Nathan: "Now, who's kicking who's ass."

Nathan and Kate look each other in the eyes. Nathan leans down to kiss her but pauses, Kate rolls to the side of the bed.

Kate: "Nathan.."

Dan is standing at the door.

Dan: "Dinner's ready."

Both Kate and Nathan look to Dan, wondering how much he saw.

: The Park :

Peyton and Jake are walking side by side. Jake is pushing Jenny in her pram, Peyton has her hand over one of his.

Jake: "Wow. So I missed a lot."

Peyton: "Yeah, Nathan and Haley getting married, getting annulled. Kate coming back into town, starting to date Lucas and Brooke, well, she's Brooke."

Jake smirks.

Jake: "So I have a question."

Peyton: "Shoot."

Jake: "It's kinda personal."

Peyton looks at Jake and smiles.

Jake: "How did you feel when you heard Kate and Lucas were dating each other."

Peyton: "I'm not sure. I was happy, worried. I don't know. I just hope he doesn't break her heart."

Jake: "he won't."

They keep on walking, Peyton slows down. Jake stops and looks at her.

Peyton: "So I have a question."

Jake: "Okay."

Peyton walks closer to the pram and continues to walk with Jake.

Peyton: "What are we?"

Jake: "I think the word human covers most of it."

Peyton laughs and his Jake playfully.

Jake: "I think the kids call it boyfriend and girlfriend."

Peyton: "I like the sound of that."

Jake: "Me too."

They smile at one another, but their attention is quickly distracted when Brooke rushes over to the them.

Brooke: "Hey."

Peyton: "Brooke..what are you doing here?"

Brooke: "I need your help."

Jake looks to Peyton and then to Brooke.

Jake: "I get it. Catch up with me back at mine."

Peyton smiles.

Peyton: "Sure."

Jake leans in and kisses her before walking away with Jenny. Peyton turns to Brooke who looks a little confused.

Brooke: "Are you and Jake dating?"

Peyton: "Kinda. Yeah, I think we are."

Brooke smiles and hugs Peyton.

Brooke: "That's sooo great. I really happy for you."

Peyton: "Thanks. Okay so what do you need."

Brooke: "I have a date tonight, with Josh."

Peyton: "Kate's ex boyfriend?"

Brooke: "The same one."

Peyton: "Wow, we really like to create love triangles around here don't we."

Brooke: "It's a pattern. Anyway can you help me?"

Peyton: "Course."

The two walk away from the park, Brooke discussing all the dresses she has in her closet. Peyton smiling to herself.

: Outside The Scott's House :

Nathan and Kate are both shooting hoops, playing a little one on one. Nathan grabs the ball and walks over to Kate. She looks up at him.

Kate: "Okay, so you won that game. I must be losing my touch."

Nathan: "Or, I must be improving my skills."

Kate laughs

Kate: "Oh I'm sorry, were you serious?"

Nathan smirks.

Nathan: "So about before."

Kate: "Yeah, what was that?"

Nathan: "I don't know."

Kate: "Should we talk about it."

Nathan: "I guess so."

Kate: "What's going on with you and Haley?"

Nathan sits down on the court. Kate sits next to him.

Nathan: "I dunno. One minute I think we're so right for one another, that we should have stayed married but the later I'll be thinking to myself thank god we got it annulled because I'd be missing out on life, dating, having fun. That sounds really selfish I know."

Kate: "It doesn't sound selfish, not at all. It makes you sound young, which you are and honestly I think it was the right decision not to stay married and to move back in with your folks."

Nathan: "Really?"

Kate: "Yeah. Nathan you're young. You don't wanna be tied down with responsibilities. We have the rest of our lives for that."

Nathan: "You're right."

Kate: "See -"

Nathan: "I should talk to Haley."

Kate: "That's better. I should be like an agony aunt."

They both laugh at that idea.

: Outside Lucas's House :

Haley and Lucas walk up to the door, both slightly tipsy.

Haley: "See, you're a true friend. Coming out with me and drinking."

Lucas: "I shouldn't have."

Haley: "Well you couldn't let me drink alone"

Haley leans up and kisses Lucas, passionately. Lucas responds to the kiss. Seconds later as they pull apart, Kate and Nathan look to the two of them.

Nathan: "Sorry to interrupt."

Haley and Lucas turn to Kate and Nathan, shocked.

: Next on One Tree Hill :

Lucas is sitting in his bedroom. He phones Kate. Kate is lying on her bed, she turns and looks at her phone and ignores it. Lucas sighs hanging up the phone.

Brooke catches up with Peyton and Jake in the school hallway.

Brooke: "Hey guys."

Peyton: "Hey."

Brooke: "Did you hear?"

Peyton: "Hear what?"

Brooke: "Nathan and Haley broke up!"

Kate is walking down the corridor. Lucas sees her and runs up to her.

Lucas: "Hey."

Kate tries to ignore him.

Lucas: "Hey."

Lucas grabs her arm, turning her around to face him.

Lucas: "Can we talk? Why haven't you returned any of my phone calls?"

Kate: "Oh I'm sorry; usually when I catch my boyfriend making out with another girl I have a tendency to not answer his calls. I didn't know it worked differently here."

Kate walks away.

Haley is standing by her locker, Lucas walks up to her.

Lucas: "Hey, you okay?"

Haley: "No"

Haley turns to Lucas and hugs him. Kate and Brooke see this from down the hallway. Lucas looks up and watches Kate walk away. Brooke shakes her head. Lucas sighs.

Nathan walks up to Lucas at practice and throws a basketball at him. Lucas catches the ball and throws it back at Nathan. They run over to one another and start fighting. They are pulled apart by Coach Durham and Jake.

Nathan is sitting in the nurses room, Kate is sitting next to him.

Kate: "It's not their fault. They were drunk."

Nathan: "It doesn't excuse it."

Kate: "I know that, but we almost kissed…and we were even intoxicated."

Haley is standing next to Nathan, in an empty classrom. She is crying, he looks devestated.

Haley: "Nathan, I dont know what to say."

Nathan: "There's nothing to say."

Haley: "I love you so much."

Nathan: "Haley, I love you but I can't trust you. We need this time out."

Haley: "Nathan please"

Nathan turns and walks away from Haley, leaving her in the empty classroom

Lucas walks up to Kate after school. He has a cut lips and bruised eye.

Kate: "You look like death."

Lucas: "I feel it too. Kate, I'm sorry. I didn't mean, we didn't mean for any of this to happen, please please, forgive me. I need you to, because without you I am lost. I know you probably dont believe me when I blame this on the alcohol because of my past relationship record, but I need you to know this. I would never, ever intentionally hurt you."

Kate: "I know."

Lucas steps forward and hugs Kate. He smiles kissing the side of her face.
