Weeks Later
(So is Julian single?) Rachel asked. As she entered the clothing store.
Brooke glared at her. (I mean I don't know. We haven't exactly talked about anything personal.)
(Plus last time I checked you're married.) Brooke replied.
(I'm married in name only. If it wasn't for the life I'm able to live being attached to him I would of gotten divorced by now.)
(Plus I'm I have no doubt my husband is screwing various women on these businesses trips.)
(I sleep in my side of the house and have my fun when I can find it.) Rachel stated matter of fact.
And then there was Peyton and Jake who were very happy together but having deal with co parenting with Nikki was never a simple process.
Nathan and Haley were my relationship touchstone.
Four kids. Various years of marriage.
I was convinced that as long as Naley. Were together life would make sense.
Waking up a few days later to the headline I didn't expect to read.
Nathan and Haley were separating. But I knew better than to believe gossip and media headlines.

Lucas closed the door to his office. When Haley walked in.
(I'm taking an extended break starting right now thank you.) Lucas announced to his receptionist.
(I saw the headlines and we know better than to pay close attention to it.)
(It's true. We're not the same people we once were. The relationship is different.)
(We grew apart. Or really we grew in opposite directions.) Haley admitted.
