A/N: Hey guys! I'm sooo sorry for waiting to update! School has been crazy busy lately! But the semester is coming to an end so maybe it'll get a little better for me! I doubt it but I can hope! Oh and there will be a pregnancy at some point in this story. So if anyone has any good names, boy or girl, send me a message or put it in a review and let me know! It takes me forever to come up with good names so I thought I would ask your opinion! Thanks! And just a warning, there is a slight sex scene in this chapter. Nothing too graphic, but if you don't want to read, then please just skip over.

As the days passed, Brooke found herself spending more and more time with just Peyton and Nathan. In a way, it almost felt like before. Before Lucas had joined the team. Before Nathan and Haley had gotten married and divorced.

Lucas still wouldn't talk to Brooke. She had seen him maybe five times out of school in the month since Keith passed. Every time she tried to talk to him or see him, he always had plans with Haley. Or he had to work. Or he had practice. Or he had too much homework. The only times she did see him out of school, were when Haley would drag him out to meet everyone. And even then, he could hardly look at her.

Brooke didn't know what to do anymore. A part of her felt like she should just officially break things off with him. It wasn't like they had any type of relationship anymore anyways. She hadn't even kissed him since the day of the funeral. The closest she had come to a kiss was when she almost kissed Nathan a couple weeks ago.

The other thing that was weighing heavily on Brooke's mind the past couple weeks was Nathan. She couldn't believe she was even thinking like this! He was Nathan Scott. The boy she had known since she was little. Her boyfriend's brother! She wasn't allowed to feel like this.

The sound of heels clicking on the pavement of the quad shook her out of her thoughts. Brooke looked up to see Haley walking towards her with a smile on her face. Brooke was almost jealous that Haley looked so happy.

"Hey Tigger! I haven't seen you in a couple days. How are you?" Haley asked, sitting down at the table with Brooke. Brooke suppressed the urge to roll her eyes at Haley's comment.

"Well, pretty bad actually! See, I had this dream that my boyfriend wouldn't talk to me. Couldn't even look at me when we're in the same room. Oh but wait, that wasn't a dream was it?" Brooke asked coldly.

"Brooke, it's not like that. Luke's just having a hard time with this. And as his girlfriend, you should be able to respect that!" Haley said quietly, trying to stay calm and not reveal the real reason why Lucas couldn't look at her.

"Respect that? Haley, all I've done is give him time and respect the fact that he lost his uncle. The other thing I've done is let you take up all his time. So excuse me if I'm a little upset and I miss my boyfriend!" Brooke said as she stood up and grabbed her bag.

"Oh and you might want to remember something. Nathan! Since you've been spending all your time with Lucas, my boyfriend, Nathan, your boyfriend, has been miserable! He almost feels like he's losing you to Luke. You might want to let him know you're still alive since you've hardly been home all month!" Brooke quietly shouted, walking away.

Brooke had no idea just how right she was though. Nathan really was losing Haley to Lucas. It's just no one knew that. It wasn't like Haley started this on purpose. Things just happen right? It wasn't her fault that she fell in love with her best friend.

Who was she kidding? It was completely her fault! She could have been a bigger person and walked away the first time something happened between her and Lucas. She just chose not to.

Later that day:

Brooke walked into Peyton's room and slammed down on the bed, making Peyton look up from her drawing. "What's wrong Brookie?" Peyton asked, setting her things aside, getting ready to deal with today's problem.

"Haley! She's just so….Ugh! She had the audacity today to tell me that I need to respect the fact that Lucas is having a hard time! Like I haven't been doing that! I have given him all the time in the world and respected that! I have watched him spend all his time with Haley and not said a word until today! You should have seen her face when I said that! You would have thought she actually felt guilty! Oh and I even reminded her that she has this thing at home called a boyfriend! That she might want to let him know that she's still alive since she doesn't even bother to go home anymore!" Brooke said.

"Brooke! You mentioned me?" Nathan whined, walking into Peyton's room and sitting down next to Brooke on the bed, "I told you not to do that!"

"Nathan! You're miserable and she needs to realize that!" Brooke defended. Nathan looked to Peyton for help who just shrugged her shoulders and went back to her drawing. The whole Lucas/Brooke and Nathan/Haley issues they were having was getting kind of old to her.

After thirty minutes or so of Nathan and Brooke going back and forth, Peyton had finally had enough. "Guys! Shut up! Seriously, if you really don't like them spending so much time together, maybe you should tell them yourselves instead of fighting about it! Now please, I need to get this done. So either be quiet, or go somewhere else!" Peyton yelled.

Brooke and Nathan immediately stopped talking and looked at each other. They had never seen Peyton yell like that since her and Nathan were together. Deciding it would be better to not say anything, the two of them slid out of the room quietly and down the stairs, heading for Nathan's car in the driveway.

"Where to?" Nathan asked as they sat in the car. "I have no idea! I just know I don't want to be in the house with Peyton when she is in that mood!" Brooke laughed, shaking her head. "Hey my mom is out of town. We could always go over there!" Nathan suggested.

"Why? I mean, you have your own apartment!" Brooke reminded him as he laughed slightly. "I mean for the hot tub! It's kind of chilly outside and we don't have anything else to do!"

"I didn't grab my swimsuit!" Brooke told him. "I think Peyton left one there back when we were dating. I'm sure you can wear that one!"

Deb's house:

Nathan had already turned the hot tub up to the right temperature and was sitting in it waiting on Brooke to come downstairs from changing. She stepped out the back door and walked towards the hot tub, a big beach towel covering her body from the chill. Stepping up on the deck the hot tub was situated on, she shed the towel, revealing the black bikini of Peyton's.

Nathan felt like he couldn't breathe when he saw her in that bikini. Peyton was a little smaller in the chest so the top was a little snug. But Nathan thought that only made it look better on Brooke. She slid into the hot tub and sat down next to him, leaning her head back and closing her eyes.

"What are you staring at?" she asked with a smirk on her face, knowing exactly what he was looking at. "N..Nothing!' Nathan stammered.

"Nate, I want to thank you for being there lately. I mean, Lucas and Haley haven't been around and it's been hard on both of us. So thanks!" Brooke said, turning a little to look at him.

"It's not a big deal! Don't worry about it," Nathan mumbled, trying not to look at her. He couldn't shake the feeling of wanting to kiss her. He wasn't supposed to be thinking like this! She was Brooke Davis. The girl he had known since he was little and used to chase around the playground pulling her hair. She was his brother's girlfriend! He wasn't allowed to feel this way.

"Nate, what's wrong?" Brooke asked, scooting a little closer to him. It was taking everything inside of him to not look at her. "Nathan! You look seriously freaked out! What's going on?" Brooke demanded, grabbing his chin and forcing him to look at her. As soon as his eyes locked on hers, they both knew what was about to happen.

Brooke inhaled sharply right before his lips crashed down onto hers. Wrapping her arms around his neck, she unconsciously straddled his lap, feeling his arousal on her thigh. That just turned her on even more. She pulled her lips from his, only to attack his neck, careful not to leave any marks.

As she started nibbling his earlobe, Nathan reached around her shoulders and untied the bikini top at her neck and then the lower tie. He gently pulled the top off of her and threw it aside, his hands already kneading her breasts. Brooke let out a moan and threw her head back, allowing him access to her neck. She had her arms around his neck still and was digging her nails into his back and his hands slid down to the bikini bottom, hooking his thumbs in the waist band.

Just before he pulled her bikini bottoms off, Nathan's cell phone, which was lying on the deck, started ringing, making them stop all actions. As soon as they pulled away from each other, it was like a light went off in both their heads and they realized what they were doing.

"I should probably get that," Nathan mumbled as Brooke nodded her head. She quickly slid off his lap and searched for her bikini top. Nathan, being the one that threw it, knew where it landed. As he reached for his cell phone, he grabbed her top and tossed it to her. She mouthed thanks as she hastily tied it around her.

"Hello?" Nathan answered, hearing Haley's cheerful voice on the other line, "Oh hey Hales. Huh? Oh nothing. Just stopped by my mom's house to grab some more of my things. Brooke? Yeah she's with me. We were at Peyton's but she kind of kicked us out. Why? Long story. Where are you?" he asked. After getting his answer, he rolled his eyes and mouthed Luke's to Brooke, who rolled her eyes as well.

"Oh you're coming home tonight? Yeah I'll be there! Okay, see you soon," Nathan hung up the phone and glanced at Brooke. She was already wrapped back in the beach towel and heading for the house to change. Nathan jogged to catch up to her and grabbed her arm to spin her around.

"Nathan, this was wrong," Brooke whispered. Nathan just shook his head and kissed her. Brooke braced her hands against his chest and pushed him as hard as she could.

"Nate, seriously! We can't do this," Brooke told him as he backed off. Before Nathan could even say anything else, Brooke walked into the house, changed her clothes, and left. Leaving Nathan to wonder what the hell just happened.
