Nathan spent the weekend with Brooke trying to decided who/what he wanted. Lucas spent the weekend comforting Haley who is upset because she has not heard from Nathan all weekend and she knows he is with Brooke.
At school, Monday morning with Haley and Lucas by her locker.
Lucas: So what are you going to do when you see Nathan?
Haley: I don't know. Every time we try to talk it turns into an argument and some days I feel like I should break up with him.
Lucas: So you're not happy?
Haley: I thought things would go back to normal besides the pregnancy thing but I guess not.
Lucas: I don't know what to tell you.
By the way, Haley is living with Karen and Lucas because after she left for tour her parents decided to travel the world.
Haley: UGH, I don't know what to do. Here he comes.
Nathan: Hey Hales, can we talk for a minute?
Haley: Sure. She gives Lucas a look and he walks away.
Nathan: Look Haley I know I haven't been the best boyfriend but I'm trying. It's just I am going through a lot now.
Haley: Nate, I'm not happy. I thought we could pick up where we left off but I guess not.
Nathan: I'm not happy either. I think it is best if we just break up instead of trying to force something that's not there.
Haley: I think you are right. I just don't want this to be weird. I still want to be friends.
Nathan: Of course. Nathan hugged her. He looked up and saw Brooke walking into the school. Haley turned towards what he was looking at.
Haley: You're in love with Brooke aren't you?
Nathan: What?
Haley: Nathan do not play dumb. I can see it in your eyes. The way you look at her, you never looked at me like that. If you like her Nate go for it.
Nathan: It's harder than you think.
Haley: Why? Does she still like Luke?
Nathan: NO! It's just he hurt her really bad twice and she isn't ready for a relationship. She wants to focus on being a mom.
Haley: Well tell her how you feel and you guys can take it slow.
Nathan: I want to tell her but in a romantic way.
Haley: I think I can help you. Meet me at the café after basketball practice and we will talk then. With that Haley walked off.
At lunch
Brooke: So you two just broke up like that?
Nathan: Yea,we just realized that it's not meant to be so why force it.
Rachel: So what now hot-shot, who's next on your list?
Nathan: No one. I'm just going to focus on basketball, school and the baby.
With Haley and Lucas.
Lucas: So just like that it's over?
Haley: Yep,he is in love with Brooke.
Lucas: Did he tell you that?
Haley: No, I can see it in his eyes when she walks into the room. I just didn't want to believe it but then I realized neither one of us are happy so why hold on.
Lucas: Look Hales I know you just broke up with Nate but there is something I need to tell you.
Haley: What is it Luke?
Lucas: I want to be with you. I know we are best friends and we said we would never be in a relationship but for the past few months all I could think about is you.
Haley: I love you Luke but as my best friend. I'm sorry.
Lucas: It's okay. Look I got to go. Bye
Haley: Bye.
After school, with the girls at Brooke and Rachel's apartment.
Haley: At lunch today Lucas told me he was in love with me.
Peyton: Oh god! What did you say?
Haley: I told him I only see him as my best friend.
Brooke (Sarcastic): Lucas has the best timing for things. I mean you and Nate just broke up.
Haley: It's going to be so weird at the house now.
Brooke: Well we have a couch, if it is okay with Rachel.
Rachel: I guess just don't get in my way.
Haley: Thanks guys, I will be back around 10pm.
Peyton: You still work at the café?
Haley: Yea, that's where I'm off to now. Bye
Everyone else: Bye
At the café with Haley and Nathan.
Haley: Tell her how you feel Nate.
Nathan: Yea because that worked so easy for Lucas.
Haley: First, when did you start talking to Lucas? Second that's completely different.
Nathan: I can talk to my brother when I want. No it is not me and Brooke have been best friends since we were little just like you and Luke.
Haley: Yea, but you and Brooke have a baby on the way and you guys trust each other.
Nathan: Why don't you trust Luke? He is your best friend.
Haley: I trust him as my best friend but not as my boyfriend. He treated Brooke and Peyton like crap and I don't want to go through that.
Nathan: You could be different Hales, he might actually love you in a way he never loved Brooke or Peyton.
Haley: I was supposed to help you.
Nathan: You did, I'm going to tell Brooke how I feel.
