Chapter 3
'Lucas...is that you?'
'Yah.'
They stayed silent like that for about five minutes. Neither willing to speak up. Until Lucas couldn't stand it anymore.
'Look Brooke…I know you need some time to think. But why are you crying? I hate to see you cry.'
'Why am I crying?' Brooke stopped there because the tears wouldn't stop falling. She took a deep breath and continued. 'I'm crying because I am leaving in what four days? And you tell me this now. I don't even know if I'll be back next school year. I love you, but if I am only going to have you for four days then I rather never have you even if it's just for four days because it is going to be easier to lose you that way.'
'Brooke…' Lucas himself had tears in his eyes and he knew she was right but he just had to make this work. He just had to. 'Brooke let's enjoy these four more days and then we'll see what happens. We can always call each other and write. I'll even come and visit you. Just please give US a chance.'
Brooke again didn't know what to say. Lucas always had a way to make her speechless and there it was again. She stayed silent for too long because someone who seemed to be hiding came out and said a faint 'Hi' but Lucas and Brooke knew right away who it was.
'Haley…What are you doing here?'
Both girls were crying nonstop by now. Lucas didn't know what to do so he called the only person he could think of.
'Hey Nate. I think you should come down by the river court.'
'Um...ok. See you in ten.'
Ten minutes after Nathan arrived and saw the sight in front of him. He understood why Lucas called him but he really didn't want to deal with these things right now.
'How about you take Haley and I'll take Brooke. That why they can confide to the people that they don't have problems or issues with and then we can report to each other.' This plan wasn't really the best but Nathan really didn't want to deal with Haley right now. He was still trying to believe that she was here.
Lucas toke Haley by the arm and went on the bench and sat with her, while Nathan took Brooke and sat her in his car so that they could talk.
'Haley…shhh.' Lucas said trying to comfort his best friend. He knew why she was crying, so he didn't bother asking her.
'Brooke…it's okay. What happened?' Nathan at this point was very confused not only did he's wife come back but Brooke was crying her heart out for reasons he did not know.
'Brooke you got to tell me.'
'Fine' Brooke told him the whole story and understood why she was crying. Why did Lucas always choose the wrong times to tell her how he felt? Nathan knew he loved her, he known that for about two months now but he chose four days before she left to tell her.
