Chapter 3

Disney World

A/N: I was able to get two chapters up this weekend. Not as much as I had wanted, but it's a good start. I hope to get another on up by tomorrow. Thanks.

It had been two weeks now that Peyton had been back. Brooke would spend three days a week at cheer camp. Her other days were spent with Peyton. They would go shopping, go to the beach, just have fun together and enjoy summer. Jake was coming this week for a visit, which Brooke was thrilled about. It wasn't that she didn't want to spend time with Peyton, she loved that. It was just she missed Nathan. She was lucky if two nights a week she was able to sneak over there. She wasn't able to sleep over. They were able to talk on the phone, but it was just hard. They were sneaking around. Brooke had said she wanted Peyton and Jake to have their alone time, so she would just crash at Nathan's on the couch while he was visiting. Peyton assured Brooke she didn't have to do that, but Brooke insisted. Brooke packed a small bag, and headed over to Nathan's.

"You're moving in...again?" He asked, laughing.

"Well, for the week anyway." Brooke closed the door and started kissing him. He picked her up, her legs wrapped around him, and brought her to the couch.

"I've missed you so much," Brooke told him.

"I know... I have missed you too. It hasn't been the same."

It was nice to know that they had time. They didn't have to rush. They stayed on the couch for over half an hour just kissing. Then they made it to the bedroom and had sex a few times.

"Oh my god...that was amazing Nathan," Brooke kissed him.

They laid together, cuddling for a while.

"You look like you have something on your mind," Nathan told her.

"I guess I do...I just wish we could actually go somewhere in public. I mean I know that we did before this happened...we were friends. No one thought anything of it before..."

"But you don't think you could go anywhere with me and keep your hands to yourself?" Nathan laughed.

Brooke smiled, "Yeah. Something like that."

"Then let's go somewhere. Far away from home. Where no one would know us..."

"What are you talking about?"

"I mean a vacation.."

"Well, where to?"

"I was thinking...Disney world." Nathan smiled.

"What?" Brooke asked.

"I don't know. It just came into my head. I guess it's pretty lame."

"I haven't been there since I was really young, but we could drive. It's about a nine hour drive. We could stay three or four nights. It would be fun. No one would know us there, and we can spend that time together..I like the sounds of it.." Brooke told him.

"Okay, then we go tomorrow?"

Brooke nodded, "Wow! That soon!"

"Yup. Sure. Why not?"

--

"Have you seen him at all?" Haley asked. She had called Lucas. It had been a while since she had heard from anyone back home.

"It's been a while. I haven't really spent much time with anyone. I've been doing a lot of work at the cafe and stuff. I talked to Peyton a little bit, and I guess he has been spending a lot of time with Brooke. She is really good at cheering people up. She has really been there for Nate,"

"Well I am glad he has somebody..."

"How has the tour been going?" Lucas asked.

"Pretty good. We have been doing a lot in New York City. I actually just flew into Florida tonight. I'll be there for a few days. We are actually going to be singing in Orlando, Disney world. It's like a senior night/graduation event type of thing, so they invite bands to come and sing, and they invited Chris Keller, so I will be doing a few songs with him."

"That is awesome Hales, I'm so happy for you."

"Thanks Lucas. I miss you. I miss home."

"I miss you too Haley...Have a good time. Talk to you sometime soon I hope,"

"Yeah, I will call you soon."

Haley wasn't sure why but she still hadn't told anyone that she was going to be coming home. It seemed crazy to even think about it. Haley had tried talking to Nathan after she left, and when she mentioned coming home he would always tell her not to. That he didn't want to see her. Haley knew deep down that it wasn't true. If she showed up and saw him person, things would be different.

--

Brooke showed up at Peyton's house to grab some more of her things.

"You're getting more stuff?" Peyton asked her.

"Yeah, Nathan and I are actually going to take a short little trip. I think it would be good for him to you know...get out of town."

"Where are you guys going?"

Brooke lied, "We're not sure yet. Just a quick little road trip."

"Well, have fun! Call me and let me know how it goes,"

Brooke felt weird admitting that her and Nathan were going on a trip? Didn't it seem obvious to everyone what was going on? No one seemed to think so. Brooke and Nathan had been friends for a very long time. This couldn't go on forever. They couldn't hide out forever.

--

Brooke had packed some more stuff, and headed to Nathan's to finish getting ready. The next morning they got into Nathan's car all packed and ready to go. They held hands for a while as they drove. Listened to music, which they agreed on. They switched off over half way through and Brooke drove the rest of the way. Before they knew it, they were there. Nathan drove them up to one of the nicer hotels.

"Where did we get the money for this?" Brooke asked.

"I told my dad I was separating from Haley. I'm now back on allowance," He smiled, half joking, but it was actually the truth.

They got into their room and unpacked. Brooke laid down on the bed.

"Oh my god, this bed is incredible...how am I supposed to leave the room?"

"I made reservations for dinner tonight on top of the hotel, where we can see and hear the fireworks."

"Wow, that sounds amazing Nathan."

He reached over and kissed her. He got on top of her and started kissing her. "You're right. Now it will be hard to leave this bed,"

--

Haley headed to dinner with Chris. The hotel that they were staying in had given them a reservation to a restaurant there. Haley didn't know much about it, but they had to eat so she got Chris to come along. Haley dressed in a simple black dress and came out of the bathroom.

"Haley...you look beautiful." Usually Chris always was being obnoxious, or joking, but there was something serious in his voice, a sweetness Haley was unfamiliar with.

"Thanks," Was all she replied.

Heading down to dinner, they were given a table in the corner. They looked at the menu, and ordered soon after.

--

Brooke and Nathan entered the restaurant, and took their seats.

"Nathan, this place is beautiful!" Brooke told him.

"I was hoping you would think so."

They looked outside the window of the view, and ordered their meal. Next the ordered dessert to have while the fireworks went on.

"I'm just going to go the bathroom real quick," Brooke said.

"Oh okay," Nathan told her, "Just don't miss the fireworks,"

Brooke hurried to the bathroom, and on her way back entered the restaurant the wrong way. Her seat was all the way on the other side of the restaurant. The fireworks were started, the sound of Disney characters were soon filling the room. Then Brooke looked across the table and saw two people who seemed too fimilar. It was Haley and Chris. They were sitting close, a little too close. Then Brooke witnessed it. She saw Chris go in for the kiss. He was kissing Haley! Brooke ran away quickly, she didn't want to see anymore or worse to be seen. The whole thirty second walk back to the table Brooke contemplated if she should tell Nathan. Not now, Brooke thought to herself. Why did she have to tell him? Nathan was asking for a divorce from Haley. He all ready suspected something was going on between them, why get him all upset? Brooke decided, at least for now, not to tell him.

--

Haley pulled away. For some reason she had let the kiss go on for seconds longer then she should have. Haley wiped her lips off.

"Chris...what were you thinking?"

"I don't know..."

"You promised me you didn't have feelings for me...that all these comments you made to me were just how you were...I can't believe this. I am married and I love my husband."

"Right. So much that you have been on tour for how many months now and you still haven't talked? He hasn't come to see you once, that doesn't scream love to me,"

"You don't know anything about me and Nathan, so don't go there," Haley ran off from the table and back to the room. She immediately tried to call Nathan.

--

"I think I hear your phone ringing," Brooke told him.

He reached in his pants pocket and retrieved his phone. He looked at who was calling. It was Haley.

"I don't know this number..." Nathan lied putting the phone away. If he told her it was Haley, it would just put a weird tone on the evening, which he didn't want to do. That was the last thing he wanted to do.

As they left dinner, Nathan went to grab Brooke's hand.

Brooke didn't think anything of it, then she had to pull away. Haley was here, somewhere. Nathan didn't know that yet, but Brooke pulled away. She couldn't risk Haley finding out like this. Nathan was confused and Brooke knew this. They reached the hotel room.

Brooke kissed him as soon as the door closed.

"Why did you do that?" Nathan asked.

"What? Kiss you?" Brooke smiled.

"Brooke..you know what I am talking about...why did you pull away? I thought the point of going out of town was so we could actually act affectionate towards each other..."

"It is. It's just...I saw someone we know at dinner..."

"Who?"

"Haley."

--

A/N: Okay...so I don't know if any of you are crazy with what I did. I want to get Haley and Nathan to talk, but I didn't want it to be after the summer. I really wanted Nathan to come out and be honest with her. I also really thought that this conversation should be in person. Of course I don't plan on him telling her about Brooke yet...I just mean the fact that he wants to end their marriage.)...So the next chapter will be them running into each other, and talking.
