Nathan sat on the bench that was in the kitchen next to where Brooke was standing and said, "Hey B, it's just me. Can you please turn and look at me?"

Brooke didn't move and he said, "Come on Brookie, for me. It's me Natey, just look at me"

Brooke hesitated a little, but turned and looked at him, but didn't let it go of the glass, he looked in her eyes and said, "There you go, thanks. Now can you tell me what happened? The last time you got like this was because of your parents a long time ago.. so I know it's serious.. talk to me B."

Brooke looked at him, crying and spoke for the first time, "I know .. I'm .. no .. hate .." Nathan stood up in front of her and said, "Brooke you need to calm down for me, it's just you and me, but first can you give me the glass?"

He stretched out his hand to pick it up but she didn't let it and said, "You know.. since I was a kid I thought that was something wrong with me.. that nobody would ever love me. If not even my parents that supposed to love me cared, why a stranger would?"

Nathan said, "Brooke.." and she continued, "but then I met you and later Peyton.. you guys become my family.. I learn how to love with you.. but we grew up and things changed, we changed and the thought that love wasn't really for me never left my mind.. Until I met Lucas and in the very beginning I knew that thing would never be the same again"

She looked at the glass in her hand and Nathan said, "It was him that did this to you? Brooke what he did to you?"

Brooke kept looking at the glass and said, "In a way I was right.. things will never be the same again, but I was wrong thinking that it would be in a good way.. I'm such a mess, a slut, broken beyond repair.. I deserve all this shit.."

Nathan stood in front of her, he dried the tears falling from her eyes and said, "It's not true B, nothing you're saying is true.. I know you, the real you and I don't know anyone more deserving of good things than you. I know you, I love you and I'll be here always.."

Brooke looked at him and said, "I don't deserve you and I won't let you ruin your life for me.. did you know that despite of everything I would have forgiven him? I really loved him, I never thought that a feeling like that could change so much.. now I hate him so much, I don't want anything that has to do with him.."

She looked at her stomach and the glass in her hand, Nathan said, "Brooke.. B. look at me" she looked at him and he said, "Brooke, please don't..he doesn't deserve anything from you, if you do this you're letting win.. don't let him change the real you. It's your child is not his. Your son."

They looked at each other eyes, with tears in them and Nathan said, "We grew up together, we've been through so much.. we became not so good versions of ourselves too early, but things changed, we changed for the better, don't let what he did change you back.. we're in this together B. I'm not going anywhere"

Brooke put the glass on the table but still holding it and Nathan said, "you know.. Lucas is my brother.."

Brooke took a step back from him not understanding why he was saying that and he said, "hey it's not that.. it's that in some crazy way this little one in there is a part of me too. B. Please, you're not alone, it's me, you and the future NBA player in there, and oh yeah, his crazy aunt that's watching the door"

Brooke half smiled, looked at him, gave him the glass and said, "thanks Natey, I really don't know what I would do without you.. you're right, but I still don't know how I'm going to do this. The feelings are still here.."

Nathan took the glass and threw in the sink and said, "I know ..but that why you have me and Rachel.. now, can you tell me what happened between you and Lucas?"

While Nathan and Brooke were talking in the kitchen Rachel was outside not letting anyone get in and she said to herself, "thank God I remembered to pick this up, this is getting boring.." she drank the vodka straight from the bottle, Haley came up to her and said, "talking to yourself?"

Rachel looked at her and said, "kinda.. and the worst is that I'm not even drunk yet, I must be going crazy from boredom" Haley laughed and said, "let's get out of here, what are you doing here anyway?"

Rachel looked at the door and said, "Something happened to Brooke, Nathan is talking to her inside and I'm watching the door"

Haley leaned on her side and said, "oh.. her and Lucas were talking and he said some things, I didn't heard all of it but what I heard was enough to see how he changed. Is she okay?"

Rachel took another sip and said, "I knew it had to do with him, I'm seriously going to kill him! But yeah, she will be fine.. Nathan will make sure of it"

Haley agreed and Rachel said, "Well…Apparently all of this meant nothing to him" she pointed to Lucas and Peyton kissing and leaving the beach house, Haley looked and said, "yeah.. lately if it's not Peyton related means nothing to him." Haley sighed, Rachel gave her the bottle and she drank it.

Brooke looked at Nathan and said, "He and Haley had a fight or something, I saw him sitting alone and I went to talk to him, mistake number one. It started well but didn't last, he stared to talk about Peyton and when I was leaving I asked what happened with you two.."

Nathan looked at her and said, "Brooke .." And she continued, "He said he wouldn't lie to me, isn't that ironic, so he told me and asked me the same thing and last just say things got heated after that."

Nathan sat down and pulled her to sit down with him and said, "Brooke I wasn't going to tell you this, it was something so stupid that isn't even worth thinking or fight about"

Brooke agreed and said, "yeah, I know, it's just him.." Nathan said, "there's more. Isn't there? What he said to you? Brooke did he hurt you?"

Brooke stood up and said, "Nothing worth remember.. let it go.. that's what I'll try to do. Anyway thank you for everything Nate.. for all you have done for me, if weren't for you I don't know what would have happened. But I kinda need to be alone now, I'm going for a walk on the beach, no need to worry I'm fine..promise"

She smiled, Nathan knew that was a real smile and he said, "okay, but are you sure? I can go with you.." She hugged him and said, "I love you Nate, you know that right? I'll be fine.. just want to be myself"

He smiled and said, "ok, but it take the phone with you and call me with you need anything" They left the kitchen and came face to face with Rachel and Haley laughing. Brooke said, "Hales are you drunk?"

Rachel laughed and Haley said, "just a little bit I think, you took too long in there, how are you Tigger?"

Haley embraced Brooke that said laughing, "I'm fine tutor girl, don't worry" Rachel and Brooke looked at each other and Rachel said, "I was kinda worry here whore, don' do this to me again"

Brooke smiled and said, "I know.. sorry, but I'm fine bitch, really" Haley said, "good, but if you want me and Rachel can kill Lucas for you, we have a plan already" Nathan grabbed Haley before she could fall, Brooke laughed and said, "thanks for the offer but I'm fine"

Rachel said, "just say the word and we do it" Brooke looked at them, Nathan was trying to get Haley to stand up, Rachel was giving her more drink and she smiled and said, "I'm going for a walk, Nathan keep an eye on those two, Hales, stop drinking and Rachel.. don't give her more drink"

Brooke took the bottle from Rachel, Rachel laughed and said, "okay, if you insist.. call me later" Nathan looked at Brooke and said, "Be careful B. please"

Brooke gave him a kiss on the cheek, "I'll be fine" Brooke threw the bottle away and went toward the beach.

Brooke was walking along the beach when she saw two people sitting in front of the ocean, she walked a little more and stopped when she realized who they were, Lucas and Peyton. She stood not knowing what to do, just looking at them.

Lucas and Peyton were sitting on the beach Peyton said, "this was a good idea.. this walk on the beach Luke" Lucas looked at her and said, "yeah.. it was, but what we do now?"

Peyton looked at him and said, "I don't know, but before we decide anything I have to tell you one thing" Lucas looked at her and she said, "I know that our life is still a little messy, but I want you to know that I love you Lucas Scott, this is serious to me, I don't want to lose my best friend for nothing.."

Lucas took her hand and said, "I know Peyt., I love you too, and we'll be fine, I'll do anything for you and to make this work" He kissed her and stood up and said, "you trust me?"

She grabbed his hand, stood up and said, "I trust Luke" they kissed and Luke threw her on his shoulders and ran to the water.

Peyton stared to scream, "Luke put me down right now!" Lucas said, "I don't think so!" and he ran towards the water and Peyton shouted, "Lucas Eugene Scott don't you dare to throw me into the water!"

Lucas threw her and they stared to laugh and Peyton pulled him too. Brooke watched the scene from afar and half smiled, as much as she was hurt and angry, seen her best friend happy made her happy… but that didn't stop the tears to come out from her eyes.

Haley woke up the next day with the biggest headache of her life, she went to the kitchen and took the water and the medicine, when it she turned around she came face to face with Nathan that said, "good morning!"

Haley groaned and put her hands on her head and said, "lower you voice please" and threw herself on the couch, Nathan laughed and said, "hangover doesn't agree with you Hales"

Haley moaned and didn't say anything just put the pillow over her head. Nathan made a shake and brought to her and said, "drink this, you'll be fine in no time" Haley took the glass and said, "what is it?"

Nathan laughed and said, "it's better you don't know, just know that will make you feel better", Haley began drinking and Rachel entered the house screaming, "Nathan! Haley!"

Nathan yelled back, "Here Rach" Haley groaned and said, "Could you please stop screaming!"

Rachel came up and saw the state Haley was and laughed, Haley looked at her and said, "why are you laughing and why you are not like me? You drank more than me!"

Rachel sat down and said, "true, but I'm used to, you're a beginner, a few more nights with me and you won't feel this way anymore" Haley put the cushion over her face and said, "no thanks, yesterday was more than enough."

Nathan joined them on the couch and said, "Hey Rach where's Brooke? still sleeping?" Rachel looked at him and said, "she's not here? She didn't come back home, I thought she had slept here"

Nathan stood up and said, "no, the last time I saw her was when she said she was going for a walk" Rachel picked up the phone and said, "she didn't call or sent me message or anything"

Haley picked up her phone that was on the table and said, "nothing to me either. And you Nathan?" they looked at Nathan that was with the phone in his ear and Haley said, "Nate what happened? Is she ok?"

Nathan put the phone on the table and said, "yeah.. she left a message saying that she was going to visited a friend, that she was fine and would call later"

The three looked at each other and were silent until Rachel said, "what friend? Where? You know?"

Nathan and Haley shock their heads and Nathan said, "I don't know, she didn't say anything else I don't know why but I think she is fine but let's wait until tomorrow. If she doesn't call until then we can stared to worry" Haley and Rachel agreed.

Brooke was in her car looking at the houses looking for the right one, she had driven for more than six hours, after last night she decided it was time to take a break from Tree Hill, away from Lucas. She needed a few days off and to think about her life without the shadow of her past in every corner she looked.

She found the house, parked the car and went to the front door. She had rung the bell and was waiting for an answer.

The door opened and she and the person looked at each other and man said, "Brooke? Are you okay?" She looked at him and said, "I don't know Jake" he hugged her and pull her inside the house.
