Chapter 8…

"So Brooke, how are things in NY?" Julian asked.

"Well other than being bossed around my mother pretty good, lonely, but good!" Brooke replied

"I understand, down in Florida is was pretty lonely too, had you in my mind all day long!" He told her

"You went to Florida? I thought you went back to LA, and Aww Julian, you always know what to say to cheer me up!" Brooke said

"Yeah, and I know!" Julian said giving Brooke a little wink.

They stared at each other, Brooke couldn't help it, she was madly in love with him, so their faces came closer and they kissed.

"JULIAN!" Missy said

"Missy me?" Brooke said pulling away from Julian. "What is she doing here?" Brooke asked Julian

"I-I Don't know? I don't even remember the last time i saw her!" Julian explained to Brooke

"We kissed the other night! How can you not remember?" Missy said to Julian

Brooke looked at Julian with a shocking and confusing face who was just as confused as Brooke.


"I'm leaving for the label now with Haley, you want anything?" Peyton asked

"For you to stay with me?" Lucas replied.

"Ha, Ha, I need to go to the label, I haven't been there in days!" Peyton replied

"What ever, you haven't seen me in days! Will you be okay? I don't want anything to happen!" Lucas told her

"Lucas. I'll be fine, don't worry, and Haley will be there to protect me!" Peyton said just as Haley walked in.

"See, here she is!"

"Here, I am!" Haley said.

"Okay now you two go now, and Hales take care of Peyton and yourself too!" Lucas told them

"You don't need to worry, she's fine in my hands!" Haley said as she walked out behind Peyton.


"I thought I'd find you here!" Nathan said as he went to Lucas who was playing at the river court

"Just got a lot on my mind so i thought it'd be good to come down here!" Lucas

"You've had a really crazy week eh?" he asked

"Yeah! I haven't even told Peyton that Lindsey came back, I'm thinking of publishing my book!" Lucas told Nathan

"Really? That's amazing broski!" Nathan told him and patted him on the back.

"Broski?" Lucas looked at Nathan

"Yeah, Jamie uses that word! He learnt it from school!" Nathan told him and made a three pointer

"Speaking of Jamie, how is that little rascal?" Lucas asked

"Oh fine, you know naughty as always!" Nathan said.

"Why are you guys talking about me?" Jamie said walking onto the court

"Why are you down by the river court alone?" Nathan asked Jamie

"I'm not alone, chuck and madison are here too!" he told Nathan & Lucas while Madison & Chuck came out.

"Up for a game ?" Chuck asked

"Let's go! Madison Nathan and Chuck against Jamie and I! Ready, set, GO!" Lucas said.

So the the guys and Madison played a game for the rest of the evening.


"Well, well, never thought I'd see you again Mia!" Peyton said as they walked into the record label

"Girl, you've got to stop scaring me!" Mia said and they hugged

"Ha, ha, don't worry nothing's going to happen now cause HALEY is protecting me! Well at least for Lucas's sake!" Peyton said

"So, got anything new for us?" Haley asked.

"Well i was wondering if we can record today, I do have this awesome idea but i wanted Peyton to be here to hear it!" Mia told them

"Aww that's so sweet, but you shouldn't have, anyways, let's go and make a new single eh Haley?" Peyton asked haley

"You're right! Let's go :)" Haley said.

"A 1. 2. 3. 4" Mia said as she started to sing the song, Peyton and Haley listened to the song when a unexpected visitor came in.

"LaLaLa-Chase?" Mia stopped singing and looked at Chase who was standing behind Peyton

"Ey! Chase how are you!" Peyton said as she hugged him

"Doing great, just came home to visit! Um Mia, can i talk with you?" Chase asked

"Sure!" Mia said

Chase and Mia walked out of the recording studio leaving Haley and Peyton to themselves.

"Well that was awkward!" Haley said turning around

"Hahah right? Let's replay Mia's song!" Peyton said

They replayed her song and Haley started to edit it, Peyton could see that Mia still had that spark in her and she was going to make a great second album!


Julian, Brooke, and Missy went back to Brulian's house.

"Brooke, listen to me! I don't know what she is saying! I haven't seen her since a year maybe 2!" Julian said.

"Shut it Julian!" Brooke said as she slammed the door.

"Last time you said the same thing with Peyton, Oh brooke i haven't seen her in soo long, i don't have feelings for her anymore! Next thing i know you're making out with her in the backseat OF MY CAR!" she continued

"That's exactly what he did with me a few nights ago, but not in your car, or maybe it was, or i don't know if it was him, I think it was him!" Missy said.

"STAY OUT OF THIS!" Brooke & Julian said.

"Why are you getting so worked up on this Brooke, it's not like we're together or anything!" Julian explained to her

"I don't care Julian, it's that you lied to me again! I gave you my trust, i let you kiss me, and you broke my heart once again! I don't think i can ever see you again, let alone trust you, please Julian just can you get out of my site," Brooke told her

"When should i come back?" he asked.

"Is never good enough for you? Cause it sure is for me!" Brooke said as she went into her room and slammed the door

Julian was in complete shock, he told Missy to leave and he started packing his bag to go back to Florida, meanwhile on the other end, Brooke is lying on the ground besides the door crying her heart out, she could really use her best friend right now.


She dialed Peyton's number, it rang for a couple of minutes till Peyton finally picked up

*Conversation starts*

"Brooke?" Peyton said over the phone

"Peyton!"

"Brooke what happened are you okay?"

"I kissed Julian."

"What?"

"I kissed him, and then Missy me came up to us and everything became all haywire and i told Julian to leave and to never come back! Peyton I'm so stupid, why do i keep shutting people out?"

"Brooke, honey, listen to me, everything is going to be okay, you're not shutting people out, you're just protecting your heart and listen to me, you're Brooke Davis, you're going to be okay no matter how many times your heart breaks because you are the strongest person i know, and i wish i had your strength."

"Thank you P. Sawyer!"

"No problem babe, now right now I'm by the record label and I'll be coming over soon okay!"

"Okay, love you!"

"Love you too!"

*Phone hangs up*

"What happened with Brooke?" Haley asked Peyton

"Boy trouble, Hey Hales, I'm gonna go to her house now wanna come with?" Peyton asked her.

"Well I have to you have no ride!" Haley said

"Right i forgot!" Peyton replied, and they walked out of the record label saying by to Chase and Mia and into the car.

"Can you believe you're gonna be a mom!" Haley asked

"No, not one bit, I can't believe I'm going to have this life inside of me which will have Lucas's smile and my chickeny legs!" Peyton said and they both laughed.

"I still remember you teasing me about being so fat, you're going to be just like that in a couple of months!" Haley said punching Peyton's arm

"Oh god! I can't even imagine that! Brooke and I were thinking about going baby shopping some time soon and it'd be awesome if you would come along with us!" Peyton said.

"I'd be delighted to!" Haley replied as they reached Brooke's house and saw Julian leave with a bunch of bags.

"See y'all ladies and Peyton, tell Brooke i love her!" Julian said as he got into his car and drove away.

"This must be some serious ish going on there!" Haley said to Peyton.


"Okay guys and Madison, I think it's time we should head home what you think?" Nathan asked

Everyone agreed it was time to go home.

"Okay, who wants to go in Uncle Lucas's car?" He asked.

All the kids screamed "ME"

"Haha, guess I win! See yah home sucker!" Lucas teased Nathan!

"Okay! But drive safe! I wanna see them home in 1 piece, it can also teach you how to handle your child, soon to be father!" Nathan told Lucas

"Ha Ha, but don't worry and you drive home safe too, it's pretty dark out!" Lucas told Nathan as all the kids went in her car.

Nathan was driving home when it started to rain, the windshield wipers weren't working so it was hard for Nathan to see what was on the road, he started to drive when all of a sudden he saw a bright light and his car crash into the others. Lucas was on the other on the other lane and saw everything that happened. "NATHAN!" He screamed. "What happened Uncle Luke? Is my daddy okay?" Jamie asked. "I don't know Jamie, i don't know!" Lucas replied, in shock.

A/N: Shocking ending i know! So i want to know what you guys think will happen to Nathan, and brooke, well she has her friends to comfort her, but she's going through a rough time, so i really want to know what you guys think okay :)
