Chapter 7

Nathan hung up very shaken up.
P-"Nathan what's wrong?" Nathan slid on the wall to the floor. He put his face in his hands.
P-"Nathan please talk to us." But he didn't say anything. Peyton leaned down to where Nathan was. She took his face in her hands. And could see the tears. Nathan thinking it's Brooke.

N-"Brooke?"
P-"What about her Nathan?"
N-"Peyton?"
P-"Yeah it's me. What's going on?"
N-"Brooke."
P-"Nathan what about her. Talk to me. What is wrong with our friend?"
N-"Peyton that was Brooke's mom. Brooke called her to tell her goodbye. She doesn't want to burden us with her problems. She told her mom to tell us. That she loved us and wanted us to be happy. And that she forgave you."
P-"Nathan please tell me you are not saying what I think you are?'
N-"Peyton if we don't find her. We are going to lose her forever. She's going to taker her life." Peyton reached over and hugged Nathan. Nathan held onto her.
N-"Peyton I can't lose her. She's apart of me. I would be lost without her."
P-"Nathan can I ask you a question?"
N-"Yeah but make it quick. I have to find Brooke before she does something."
P-"Nathan be honest do you love her?"
N-"Love her yes I do."
P-"Not like a friend or a brother. But love her like a man and a woman."
N-"Never thought of it that way. But yes I do."
H-"Nathan what about me. I thought you said you loved me."

Getting up.
N-"Haley not everything is about you. Brooke is sick and that is a fact. And she is out there by herself. Now if you all will excuse me. I have to fine her. Now either you are going to help me. Cause if not then get out of my way."
H-"Nathan I'm sorry I didn't want to lose you to her."
N-"Then you didn't trust me Haley. Because I did love you. But know this. If anything happens to her. I'm never going to forgive you."
L-"Nathan that was uncalled for. She didn't mean any harm."
N-"Lucas I don't have time for this. I will talk to Haley later. Right now I have to find Brooke."

That is when Claire heard the tail end.
C-"You don't mean Brooke Davis. As in the slut." Peyton stepped up.
P-"Hey don't talk about her like that."
C-"Well it's true." Nathan walked up to her.
N-"Hey you remember this name. And remember it good. Nathan Scott. And if I hear you say that again about her. Well you have been warned."
C-"I was just going to say. I saw her heading to the roof."
