Chapter 6

Collide

"Brooke…she's pregnant" Nathan said, watching as his brother turned ghostly white

"Look, dawg…you knew she was going to move on sometime right?" Skills said

"I guess so…"Lucas admitted, trying to hide his apparent disappointment

"Luke, your getting married, man. Maybe it's time you get her out of your system" Nathan said reluctantly, not sure how Lucas was going to react.

"Your right, Nate" Lucas said. "Where is she?" Nathan and Skills looked at each other, unsure what to do.

"She's in New York with Haley and Peyton" Nathan said, deciding it was best that Brooke and Lucas sort it all out, once and for all.

Lucas grabbed his wallet and keys off the table and walked out the door.

Lucas stood in front of the departures screen at the Charlotte Airport. There was a flight to New York in an hour. And Lucas was going to be on it. He had to.

He approached the ticket counter at great speed.

"Hello, sir" said the hostess. "Where are you off to, today?"

"New York" Lucas said, sliding his credit card to her.

"Very well. But there is a last minute fee occurrence on this ticket since the plane is about to board" she said, looking at the attractive man in front of her.

"Fine, fine. Just get me on the flight." He said, getting frustrated

She pressed a few computer keys, and handed Lucas his boarding pass.

"There you go. The flight is boarding ten minutes. Have a safe trip, Mr Scott" she said

Lucas sat down and dialled Rachel's number. After a few rings, she answered

"Hey, stud. Where are you? I've been waiting for you..." she purred

"Look, Rach, I just got a call from my publicist. They want me to do a book signing in New York" Lucas said, hoping Rachel would believe his lie

"No problems, super star. You don't have time to come home for a quickie?"

"Sorry, Rachel, I'm at the airport now"

"Well, I want a reward when I get back…." She said seductively

"Of course. Love you" Lucas said, slightly cringing

"Bye, lover" Rachel said huskily

Lucas stood up and headed toward the gate. It was time to face Brooke.

"Who was that, Rach?" he said as she rolled back onto the bed

"Just Lucas" is all she said as she placed kisses up and down his naked torso

"I still don't feel right doing this, Rach. He's family" he said

"Yeah but it's the best sex of your life, so why argue?" she said while continuing her work

"Because he is about to marry you, Rachel, and he thinks you have been faithful"

"Leopards don't change their spots, darlin' and Luke of all people should know that" Rachel said, getting bored of the topic and pulling Cooper in for a kiss

"Fine but sooner or later he is going to find out about us, and you know it's not going to be pretty" Cooper said breaking away from Rachel

"No it's fine, Lucas is too weak to realise this relationship wasn't what he wanted. Hopefully soon he will come to his senses and realise what's good for him" Rach said thinking about a friend she hadn't seen in years.

Lucas sat in his aeroplane seat, twiddling his thumbs, his mind working a million miles an hour. How would she look? How long had she been in New York? Had she been in contact with Peyton and Haley all this time? And most of all, who was the father of her baby? Lucas thought as the plane took off in flight. Nathan didn't mention whether or not he knew that Brooke was in New York. Lucas opened his wallet, and removed the picture of his mum, Keith and Lily and behind it was something that he had kept since high school. A photo. A photo of one of the happiest times in his life. It was taken the start of senior year when they had just gotten back together. They were sitting on a picnic table at the river court. Their arms intertwined and in the middle of a passionate kiss. Haley had taken the photo, perfectly encapsulating their love. That picture had stayed there since Haley had given it to him when they had broken up months later. Maybe Nate was right Lucas thought. This will end it once and for all.

"Oh Tutor Mum, I can't believe you are going home already!!" Brooke exclaimed

"I know, Tigger, but Nathan can't be left on his own devices too long. He has probably corrupted our son into playing one on one" Haley said as she put her bags on the turnstile and received her ticket from the attendant.

"Plus, I will still be here with you, B.Davis" Peyton said to her best friend.

"I know, but I'm going to miss my pregnant pal!" Brooke said, tears rapidly falling down her cheeks

"Oh, Brooke. Come here" three women were pulled into a three way hug by Haley.

"I promise I will be back for the birth" Haley said, as they walked toward the gate.

"We belong together like the open seas and shores wedded by the planet force
we've all been spoken for" rang Haley's phone.

"Well isn't it my favourite husband" Haley sing- songed into her phone as she walked away from Peyton and Brooke

"Hopefully you didn't pick up any in New York" Nathan said jokingly

"Never, my husband. How's our boy?" Haley asked

"Playing NBA live on the play station" Nathan said with a chuckle

"Lucky I'm coming home then!" Haley laughed

"Hales, I've got something to tell you" Nathan said in a serious voice.

"Nate, what's going on?" Haley said, her foot tapping nervously on the floor

"I know. I know who you were seeing in New York." Nathan said quickly

"I told you it was just an old friend, Nate" Haley said nervously as she glanced over a Brooke

"An old friend with long brown hair, is about 7 months pregnant and answers to the name of Brooke?" Nathan said gently.

"How did you know?" Haley breathed

"Go to love fame, Hales. Paparazzi got a photo of you, Brooke and Peyton having lunch"

"Please don't say he saw it, too" Haley said looking worriedly over at Brooke, both knowing who she was talking about.

"He knows. And he is coming to New York to see her." Haley's eyes widened in shock.

"Nathan! She can't know, ok? Brooke is having a hard enough time at the moment without Lucas complicating things" Haley whispered into the phone, hoping her 2 friends didn't notice the panic in her voice.

"What are you talking about, Hales" Nathan said, realising his wife knew something else was going on.

"I'll tell you all about it when I get back, ok?" Haley said, I got to go, honey. I'm about to board the plane"

"Ok, love you, Hales" Nathan said curious to find out what had happened in New York

"Always and forever" Haley said as she hung up and reluctantly walked back to her friends.

"This is the final call for passengers boarding flight JQA9 to New Brunswick Airport, North Carolina" a monotonic voice said over the PA.

"Well, friends that's my cue" Haley said

"I'll see you in a couple of months, hon and don't be a stranger" Haley said as the two pregnant woman hugged

"Look after our girl for me" she said to Peyton

"Always"

"Bye Tutor Mum, give my godson a big kiss for me" Brooke sniffled

Haley walked through the gate and was gone.

"Lets go, B. Davis, I think we are in need of some retail therapy" as Peyton linked arms with Brooke and they walked towards the exit.

They walked arm in arm towards the exit, giggling and laughing at their own personal jokes

Lucas walked off the plane, it seemed like the plane took forever to get to New York.

He walked straight for the exit, since he was in such a rush to leave Charlotte. He followed the signs towards the exit; he was never a big city person and was a little overwhelmed by it all.

Suddenly Lucas was knocked out of his train of thought when he bumped into a skinny looking girl with a mess of curly hair.

"Hey sorry" Peyton said mid laugh, turning around. Peyton gasped as she realised who she collided with.

"Peyton?"

"Lucas?" Brooke said in dismay
