Brooke watched as Lucas left with Peyton and continued to walk, Haley stayed by her side. She wanted to know when the right time was to speak to her, to say that she was sorry. She thought about it and decided that she should apologize but she wasn't going to change her mind about Lucas being with Peyton.
"I don't want to ruin our friendship because of this." Haley started to say, Brooke huffed. She didn't want to listen to what she was saying but Lucas would think something was up if they weren't talking.
"You were being a bitch. You said things that hurt me." Brooke glanced at Haley but still looked around the parade, Iris and Millicent said that she would be there.
"I know and I'm sorry. I shouldn't have said what I said. I don't know why I said it." Haley confessed, Brooke forgave her because she couldn't be mad at Haley forever but she wasn't going to talk to her as much.
"It's okay, I guess." Brooke told her, keeping the conversation short.
"Now, that were friends again, I've been wanting to tell you something." Haley bit her lip, she had been holding this secret in for so long. Brooke raised her eyebrow, they stopped walking and looked into each other's eyes. "I'm in love with Lucas." Haley bit her lip with excitment in her eyes. Brokoe gasped, her mouth dropped open.
"Are you serious?!" Brooke yelled, she already had to compete with Peyton and Lindsay, now she had to compete with Haley. Brooke thought about Haley and Lucas kissing and becoming a couple. "Ew," Brooke said disgustingly. "I hope your joking." Brooke asked her. Haley nodded, laughing.
"I am." Haley told her, tapping her shoulder.
"That would have been...weird." Brooke told her. Haley nodded, looking at the ground. Brooke could tell that something was on her mind. "Is that really what you wanted to tell me?" Brooke asked.
"Dan has been staying at our place for a couple of weeks now." Haley confessed, this was a bigger shocker to Brooke then Haley saying that she was in love with Lucas.
"He's out of jail?" Brooke asked, she was a little worried about Jamie but mostly worried about Lucas said about this. She was concerned that Lucas didn't tell her anything about it.
"Yea, he's been out for a while. We've gave him a room to stay in." Haley and Brooke started to walk again, Brooke was so into the conversation.
"Haley, I don't think that you should let Dan into your home, he's a murder." Brooke explained.
"I know but he grew such a bond with Jamie and Nathan loves him being around. Dan has changed." Haley told her. Brooke rolled her eyes.
"He killed Keith." Brooke said again.
"I know," Haley said annoyed. "I can't do anything." Haley shrugged her shoulders.
"Do you want him to be there?" Brooke asked her. Haley thought for a moment, she has been trying to forgive him but she couldn't find it in her heart.
"I don't know." Haley said honestly.
"I can't believe Lucas didn't tell me." Brooke looked away.
"It's because doesn't know." Haley confessed. Brooke gasped again.
"You didn't tell Lucas?!" Brooke asked her.
"I don't know what to say to him," Haley told her.
"Maybe, hey Lucas, your father that killed Uncle Keith is living in my house." Brooke told her.
"That seems a little harsh." Haley told Brooke softly.
"Not telling him is a little harsh. If you don't tell him Haley, he's going to be hurt." Brooke warned her. Haley rolled her eyes.
"And what about you, did you tell him that you lied about Peyton being with another man?" Haley kinked her eyebrow and crossing her arms.
"I can't believe you turned this on me Haley." Brooke told her. Haley shrugged her shoulders.
"You can't tell Lucas." Haley shook her head. Brooke didn't want to keep something like that from him but she had so many secrets that it could ruin their friendship. Brooke had tears in her eyes, she quickly whipped them before Haley saw. She was afraid that he was going to lose her best friend. There were so many lies building up on Brooke that she didn't know what to do with them and she couldn't believe that Haley would black mail her.
"Okay, Haley." Brooke walked away but turned away before she did. "Stay away from me." Brooke demanded, having enough.
"I'm sorry Brooke." Haley apologized.
"No, your not and I hate you for it." Brooke turned around and walked away. She couldn't let Lucas slip away, she would have to tell him.
