I'm Always Here For You

A/N: All couples this chappie! Gotta love winter break! ENJOY!

"Nathan- I can explain!" Haley started as they got in the car.

"Hales- I heard the whole thing-it's ok, I know it was Keller." Nathan answered.

"It's not fair! He always does stuff like that!" Haley said in a pouty voice.

"I know." Nathan countered with a laugh.

"So….. Do you wanna finish our date?" Haley asked him.

"You bet- where do you wanna go?" he asked her.

"Um…. How about Karen's Café?" she suggested.

"Haley- it's 10:00. There's no way it's open." He pointed out.

She held up a key. "Hello? I work there. I can go whenever I want."
"Ok, let's go." He told her.

"Nathan?"
"Yeah Hales?"

"I love you."

"Brooke- do you wanna go to the beach?" Lucas asked, still embracing her.

"I'd like that." She answered.

They finally let go of each other, and climbed into the car.

"So Lucas, did you miss me?"

"Of course!"

Brooke giggled. Lucas's stomach jumped when she did. He loved her laugh.

"That's good, cause I missed you too." She told him.

They talked a little while, until they arrived at the beach. They started to walk.

"Do you remember when I came home from summer vacation and made out on the beach?" he asked her.

"Of course I do. It was the first meaningful kiss I had had since we broke up." She answered.

"Gosh I love you Brooke." Lucas told her.

"I love you too."
"Can I take you home Brooke?"

"How bout your house instead?"

"I can deal with that."

Peyton was mesmerized. She had kissed one of her best friends.

All she could think about was Mouth, Mouth, Mouth! She didn't know what to do.

They had had a great time. They had been friends since 3rd grade.

She wondered what Mouth was thinking.

-Mouth-

What to do! He had just broken up with Erica, and he didn't know if he was ready for another relationship.

Someone knocked on the door.

"Erica?"

A/N: FINALLY! A Peyton/Mouth cliffie! Hope you liked it! Please R&R!
