Time gradually went by in Tree Hill. Brooke was released from the hospital a day after her confrontation with Nathan. She moved in with him and slowly, he helped her try to regain her memory. He took her places, showed her old pictures, and told her past stories. However, she still didn't remember a thing, just the new information she gained from her time with Nathan. As the days progressed, Brooke was getting more and more frustrated and depressed. How could she not remember her past? She could be in a room with people she spent her whole life growing up with, but feel so lost and alone. The more discouraged she got, the more determined Nathan got. He spent every single moment with Brooke, trying to help her in some way. But even the teacher can get lost and frustrated at times.

Start Flashback

Nathan took Brooke to the gym, thinking that maybe that particular place could help rejog something.

"…And this is Tree Hill High's gym. Or my basketball heaven." He said as they entered the deserted gym.

Brooke took in everything around her. Basketballs sat in a rack, a pair of pom poms were sitting on a table, the bleachers were blue and empty, and a huge mural of the word RAVENS covered the back wall.

"Where was I in this 'basketball heaven' of yours?" she asked mockingly.

He laughed. "You my friend were a cheerleader."

"I was a cheerleader?"

"More like THE cheerleader." He chuckled again. "You stood on those sidelines and cheered on the team, especially Lucas."

"The husband?" He nodded. " How about you mister? Did I cheer you on? Or was Lucas the only hot guy I cheered for?

Nathan smiled inwardly. She thought he was hot. "Well you probably did…I mean who could resist all this?" He joked.

A warm laugh escaped her lips. "Touché. Touché."

That smile. God he loved her smile. There was something in it that drew him in. It was unlike Haley's, unlike Peyton's, unlike any other girl he had ever dated. Why hadn't he noticed it before?

"So does that mean I was popular?" Her words brought him out of his deep thoughts.

"Popular? Hell yeah. You were Miss Popularity in high school. Student council president, cheerleading captain, fashion queen…you had it all."

"And now I have lost it all," she whispered quietly, but just loud enough for Nathan to hear. Her previously cheery, smiling face instantly turned into a melancholy smile full of sadness. Her state of despair had arrived one again.

End Flashback

Nathan walked into Peyton's house after witnessing another Brooke breakdown. God why couldn't he help her?? It had been two weeks. Why couldn't she just get better??

"Hey Nathan, you okay?" Peyton asked him.

Her presence startled him. He was so caught up in his own thoughts he didn't even realize she walked down the stairs.

"Hey Peyt. Yeah I'm okay, just a bit confused."

"Brooke?"

"Who else? I just want her to be okay! I hate seeing her like this…so lost and cheerless…it's not Brooke. I just want to help her."

"You are helping her Nathan. You're helping her more than anybody. Give it time."

"How much time? I hate seeing her breakdown every night because she can't remember who she is. God, this is all my fault!"

"How is it all your fault?" Peyton asked curiously.

Nathan contemplated if he should tell her or not. She was one of his best friends. And she would understand without judging him. So he gave in.

"The day of the accident…she was staying at my house…"

"Yes, Mr. State the Obvious. Now get to the juicy details."

Nathan rolled his eyes. "We were talking, then all of a sudden I leaned down to kiss her and right when our lips were about to touch, she ran out, startled, and the car hit her."

"Wow…so this is what goes on behind the closed Scott door."

"Peyton…I'm serious. If I hadn't kissed her she would've been fine. And she wouldn't have ran out in the road. And the car wouldn't have hit her. I just want her to be better."

Peyton stared at her longtime friend for a while before bursting out into laughter.

"What?" Nathan asked, totally confused. How could she be laughing at a time like this? Brooke lost her freaking memory!

"You like her."

"What??!?!"

"You, Nathan Scott, like Brooke Davis," she replied with a smug look.

"Actually, it's Brooke Scott, seeing as she's married to my brother."

"Awe that never stopped you two before" she joked back.

He glared in her direction. Peyton could be so inconsiderate at times. "Haha very funny Peyt. And just so you know, I don't like Brooke. She's my brother's wife."

"Whatever you say, Mr. Oblivious. Natey and Brookie sitting in a tree…K-I-S-S-I-N-G…"

"Peyton! Geez!"

"What?! You feel something Nathan and you know it. I'm just stating the truth."

"I don't love Brooke, okay?!"

A smug look reappeared on her face. "Love? I never said anything about love." She paused while smiling. "Feelings are feelings, Nate. You can't just ignore them." With that, she walked upstairs leaving a puzzled Nathan.

Then it hit him. He was falling in love with his brother's wife.
