Brooke woke up with a really horrible feeling and a pretty bad headache. She noticed that she wasn't exactly alone in her bed. Chris was lying next to her, still asleep.
Tell me this is all a dream! Tell me I didn't do that to Nathan!, she thought. She dared to look under the cover but it was way worse now. She grimaced and let herself fall onto her pillow.
"What have I done?!" she whispered. Chris stirred next to her. As soon as she saw this, she ran for the bathroom and locked herself in.
When the brunette girl came back, she was dressed and Chris was standing in front of the door. He went forward to kiss her. She shoved him back.
"What, aren't you ready for the encore?" he asked. She frowned and with the biggest look of disgust, she slapped him hard. Like, really hard. So much that his face immediately turned red from where she hit him.
"You abused! You took advantage of the fact that I was drunk! Say no to my clothes AND to my body. I'm with Nathan and I love him. You, you're just a pathetic asshole! I don't want to see you ever again! Get the hell out of here!" she shouted.
"You're so hot when you're mad!" Chris said, trying to touch her again. Brooke pushed him and connected her fist with his jaw.
"Didn't you understand? Are you fucking deaf? Get the hell out of my life! I don't want you her again or Nathan is gonna rearrange your ugly face! You've already done that with Haley and you broke Lucas' heart…I'm not letting you do that again! Now get the fuck out!" she yelled, pushing him again.
"I'll see you soon, baby!" he said when a naughty grin.

Lucas woke up next to Haley. He just loved her presence next to him. That was the reason why he married her. It's because he wanted to spend to rest of his life with her.
"Been watching me sleep for long?" Haley asked. Lucas noticed she was awake.
"Kinda…you seemed so peaceful. I kinda enjoy watching you and catching every little moment I have with you!"
Haley smiled and kissed him. "So, have you seen Brooke? Nathan called. She was supposed to join him but she never did. He didn't really want to go see to your place, you know…he just called her and got no response" he said.
Haley thought for a moment. "Last time I saw her, I drove her to the apartment where someone was waiting for her…", she didn't really want to say anything more.
"Who?" asked Lucas.
"No big deal, really…just, someone she knows…" she replied. Haley really didn't feel like telling her husband that Chris, the guy he hated so much, was in town. Lucas nodded and started kissing Haley.

It was the week-end and in these times, Nathan enjoyed going to the rivercourt a Saturday morning and shoot some hoops. Brooke knew she'd find him there.
"Hi, gorgeous!" she said.
"Hey, Brooke. Where've you been?"
"Uh…sorry that I missed our date! You now, I hung out with a few girls and I didn't see the time as it passed by. It was really late so…I just didn't want to bother you. I was really tired"
Nathan nodded as she explained her story. "Ok, well it's alright as long as you don't set me up tonight at the restaurant"
She looked at him with big, round eyes. Restaurant? Who talked about restaurant? Did her boyfriend want to get her out, somewhere?
"Restaurant?" she asked.
"Well, I thought, considering it's been three months that we're 'exclusive', that I could maybe bring my girlfriend in an amazing restaurant and we could have the best supper ever!"
"But Nathan…restaurant is expensive!"
"Nothing is too much for the girl I love!"
Brooke smiled, hiding slightly the horrible shame she felt for her 'last-night adventure'. She decided that Nathan really didn't need that in the moment so she wouldn't tell him. So, she applied a fake convincing smile on her face and hugged him really close.
"That's really sweet!" she whispered in his ear.
"I'd do anything for you"

Lucas arrived to the rivercourt where Nathan was making some jump shots.
"Hey, little bro!"
"Hey, Luke. What's up?"
"That's exactly what I was going to ask you considering the fact that you called me…"
Nathan lowered his eyes to shoes level. "She told me she didn't see time pass by while she hung out with her friends…"
"So?"
"I called every single ones of them yesterday. One after another...Nobody saw her."
"So you think she would've…"
"Maybe! She looked horrible when I told her I was inviting her to the restaurant!"
Lucas stared at his brother for a second. His eyes were lost in the misunderstanding.
"I just said that on the moment, just to see how she'd react but now it needs to be prepared and done…you'd help me?"
"You mean like, find you a place for your date?"
Nathan shrugged and looked in his brother's eyes with a puppy dog look on his face.
"Ok fine…I have an idea"
Lucas got his cell phone out of his pants pocket and called his dad. "Hey dad, can you make a reservation at the plaza? Yeah, I'm going out with Haley…yeah, under my name…ok, thanks a lot! Bye!"
"Plaza?" Nathan asked.
"Yup. 8:30. it's under my name. Just tell the cashier that you're putting it on your dad's account, Mr. Mayor!" Lucas announced, giving an amused nod to his brother.
"Thanks man!"
"It's nothing, really"
Both brothers pounded fists.

Haley had decided to bring Brooke at the mall so they could shop a little.
"So, what did Chris want?"
"To propose me a contract…"
Haley looked confused. "You sing?!?"
Brooke rolled her eyes. "I was talking about my clothes…"
"Well, that could be great!"
"I refused…"
"Why?"
Brooke shrugged and stared at a glass window for a second. "I just remembered how he ruined things between you and Lucas and I really didn't want this to happen again…"
Haley nodded. She looked somewhere else and spotted a really beautiful dress, not so expensive that Brooke could perfectly wear for the diner. She would even have some money left to buy a nice present to Nathan for their three months anniversary.

Nathan pulled the chair behind Brooke and helped her sit. She placed herself of the chair and smiled at him.
"It's really amazing, Nathan!" she exclaimed.
"I know…and you didn't see all of it yet", he grinned.
Nathan pulled a small box out of his pocket and handed it to her.
"I also brought you something!"
Brooke felt extremely guilty. She had to tell him or she would never be able to look at herself in a mirror again.
"You shouldn't have…" she said shyly.
"Of course I did! Come on, open it!"
Brooke hesitated a lot before she finally decided she'd open it. She got an envelope out of her purse and waited for a second before she handed it to him.
"Alright. I also got something for you…"
Nathan took the envelope from her hands and turned his eyes back on Brooke. "You go first"
She smiled slightly and opened the little box she was holding. She was dying to know what was in that box since she had laid her eyes on it. When she finally looked inside her eyes turned wide. She stared for a second with eyes the size of baby worlds.
Her mouth fell wide opened. She was staring at a beautiful sparkling bracelet. It was a beautiful diamonds chain with little heart hanging all around.
"You like it?" he asked after getting no response.
"It's beautiful…but…listen Nathan, it's too much for me! I don't deserve it!"
"Of course you do! I love yo…"
"I slept with Chris…"

Iii cliffhanger! I know it doesn't really talk about Lucas but what life taught me is that nothing happens without a reason…let's just say that it's gonna hurt a lot of people. More than you might think…
