Chapter 5
The next morning.
Brooke woke up and was confused of where she was at. She looked around to see Lucas sleeping on the other bed. She felt an arm around her. And looked up to see Nathan sleeping beside her. She was wondering how she got there. And quietly walked to the door. Opened it and closed it softly. As she walked out she saw Haley.
B-"Haley." Surprised yo see her.
H-"Brooke what were you doing in there?"
B-"I went to talk to Nathan. I don't like fighting with him."
H-"All night?"
B-"I must have fallen asleep."
H-"Brooke what is up with you and Nathan?"
B-"Nothing we are just friends. Nothing else. Haley he loves you."
H-"I know I love him too."
B-"Then trust him. He is a really great guy."
H-"I don't like your friendship with him."
B-"Why?"
H-"Cause ever since last night. He has not said 2 words to me."
B-"This is why I didn't want him to know Haley. I knew he would do this."
H-"Brooke are you lying about being sick?" Brooke was shocked.
B-"No Haley I'm not. I wouldn't lie about something this big." Brooke turned and walked away. Not saying another word. Haley looked stunned.
Then she heard the door open. And Nathan walked out.
N-"Hey I heard Brooke out here. Have you seen her?"
H-"No I haven't." Lying to him.
N-"I can't believe she is sick. And could die."
H-"She will be OK." Nathan slid against the wall. And sat down.
N-"Haley I'm scared."
H-"Of what?"
N-"Losing her. I try and be strong for her. But I'm scared. I can't believe I didn't see it. I should have. But I didn't see that my best friend needed help."
H-"Nathan she didn't tell anybody. Who knows how long she has known about this."
N-"That is what I'm worried about. How long she has dealt with this by herself. But I am going to be there for her. She is going to know people care about her. She can't die."
H-"she's not."
N-"But she could. And I will lose the person that really knows me. Inside and out. I know her the same way."
H-"Nathan everything happens for a reason."
N-"Well I should get showered and ready for the cheerleading competition. If you see Brooke tell her I'm looking for her."
H-"I will." Nathan leaned down to kiss her.
N-"Brooke is right I'm lucky to have you. Someone who understands and compassionate person. That I have to help Brooke. But know I love you Haley."
H-"I love you too Nathan." When Nathan hugged her she stiffened up. Thinking she just lied to him. But she didn't tell him.
