Thank you guys so much for all the amazing reviews. Here goes the next chapter with a bit of a twist. Enjoy!

I do not own One Tree Hill or the movie quotes I used in this chapter.

--

The first morning hours showed their shadow on Tree Hill's clocks. Peyton stirred, waking up from a pretty rough night. She tried to convince herself that everything that's happened was just a dream but reality hit her like a slap in the face when she saw Brooke in her bed, her face pale and stained by tears. She then realized it wasn't a dream. Jimmy Edwards really killed himself and Lucas was really hurt. The blonde girl let a shy tear roll down her cheek just as Brooke woke up. She yawned widely then looked at her crying friend.

Softly, the brunette girl slid next to her best friend and wrapped her tightly in her arms. They both stayed close for what seemed like hours but had only been a few seconds. Then, they pulled apart to become the two lost souls they were. Their blank looks could have gotten anyone to worry.

Karen slowly woke up, not remembering falling asleep. She found herself holding Lucas' hand, half lying on the bed next to him. She sat back in the chair and watched her son sleep. She had wished so hard for this to all be just a sick twisted dream. Keith was sleeping on the couch next to Haley and Nathan had changed his blood stained clothes for new ones when he had stayed up all night with his big brother.

The teenager had dark circles under his eyes but he refused to show any signs of fatigue. He made a weak smile to Karen who gave it back to him, sadly. She looked at her son—well, she couldn't see him that well between wires—and wondered what was going to happen to her family.

"It's all up to him now" Nathan whispered, motioning to Lucas. Karen nodded and sighed.

"I wonder what he is thinking about right now…"

There was a knock on his bedroom door. He wondered who could be there this late. Who startled was he when he saw Haley standing in the doorway.

"Hi sweetie. I brought a movie!" she exclaimed.

"Yes, I'm fine, thank you! And you?"

She rolled her eyes and gave him a soft kiss. "Remember, we had a date!" she said.

"I forgot…but I'm glad to see you!"

He gave her another kiss, this time with the tongue. Haley pulled softly apart and smiled. It had been a long time since she was this happy. Lucas looked all around and led her to the living room of the large Scott mansion. She sat on the brown couch and looked at the love of her life who was putting the DVD in the player linked with the big plasma screen.

"What are we watching?" Lucas asked.

"John Tucker must die! I heard it was really funny!" she chuckled.

"Yeah…another girl movie…" Lucas sighed.

"Don't criticize me, husband of my heart! I saw Halloween for you!" she replied. He chuckled.

"Well, it doesn't matter anyway because I was planning to do something better during the movie!" he said sitting right next to her to kiss her passionately. The movie was playing behind while these two love birds were showing their love bond on the couch.

Nathan was sitting on the bed of his small house, reading a good novel. He didn't even notice Brooke who had just walked inn and was now staring at him with a wide smile.

"Did you know you were frowning when you read?"

"What?", he jumped a little then smiled when he saw her.

"You act out with your eyebrows!!" she chuckled.

"That's not true!" he laughed.

"Oh yeah, but don't worry, you are very very sexy!" she said.

She smiled before she kissed him softly. He kissed her back and put a hand in her hairs, sniffing the good smell of her.

"I'm glad you're here!" Nathan whispered.

"Yeah, like I was going to let my boyfriend alone on Friday night!" she joked.

The brunette girl sat next to him, pushing him a little on the side. He closed his book and shoved it across his desk.

"Wanna go out? We could catch a pizza and a movie. What do you think?"

"Well, I'm cool with the pizza but let's say I have better plans for the desert. I have the apartment tonight. Tutor girl his with her husband!" she giggled.

Nathan smiled and kissed her one more time. "That's perfect!"

Lucas was barely watching the movie. He was stuck in Haley's eyes and couldn't tear his gaze of hers.

"I love you so much!" he whispered.

Haley just smiled and combed his hairs. Then, she bent forward and placed a wet peck on his cheek. She stared at him. He was smiling. He was always smiling. The blond guy turned his head to the movie.

"Yeah…except he broke up with everybody!—no, not everybody!"

Lucas frowned. "Don't you think that the brunette girl looks like Brooke?" he asked.

"You mean Brooke my roommate and Brooke your brother's girlfriend?", she smiled.

"You know another Brooke that looks like that?"

Haley nodded and checked the girl better. "Yeah, they truly look like each other"

"Well at least I'm not medicated!—Excuse me. This is an all-natural beauty supplement.—What are you taking? Estrogen? Heather! They torture innocent horses for this. It's made from their pee!"

Lucas grimaced thinking women were taking pills made with horse pee. The only thought made him want to be sick.

"Peeing isn't torture! Menopause is. Guys take steroids to get pecs. I just wanna go up a cup size.—I don't think it works like that. It stops your natural hormone production.—Yeah and when you run out you're gonna grow a mustache and a penis!"

Haley giggled while Lucas kept staring at the girl's fight. Then he stared at Haley who was so pretty when she was laughing.

"What are you looking at?"

"You…you look amazing tonight!" he said then kissed her. They lay together on the couch. Haley looked everywhere around the room.

"Your dad's got so many trophies!"

"Yeah…Tree Hill's basketball Star…if it was for me I'd say I see him like Tree Hill's idiot Star!"

Haley let out a small giggle which caused a grin across Lucas' face.

"How do you think your life would've been if Karen was your mother?" she asked now being serious.

"I don't know…"

That's it for now. Hope you guys liked it and will stick with this story. It should be over soon I only have a few chapters left and might make a sequel. We'll see…
