"I don't even really know." Lucas openly admitted for the first time as he realized that he had spent most of the night trying to figure out what he did wrong. "I mean she found out that Peyton kissed me the day of the school shooting, but I only didn't tell her because I didn't want to open any old wounds back up. I thought that we were finally moving away from all of that."
Peyton paced around the room, as she recalled that painful memory, eventually taking a seat on the bed next to a very impatient Brooke. "I asked Jake to marry me when I was in Savannah.. and he said yes." Peyton admitted for the first time to her best friend, as she had blatantly disregarded that detail the previous night. "But then I said something in my sleep and the next thing I knew I was on a plane back to Tree Hill."

"I am so sorry Luke..did you try and talk to Brooke about it? Maybe something else is going on too.." Haley said
"What did you say Peyton? That you love Lucas right?" Brooke said rolling her eyes

"I don't really think she wants to talk to me right now. I don't even know what I would say.." Lucas said, suddenly at a loss for words as the world seemed to be closing in around him. "Do you want me to take you to the hospital?" He asked, as he stood up. "I've gotta head to school.."
"In my sleep Brooke.. God!" Peyton said as she started to cry, now knowing that nothing would fix this. Nothing would fix things with Jake either. "But I don't.. I love Jake. He's what I wished for."

"I'm sorry Luke..I hope you two work things out.." Haley said "Sure thanks.."
"It's too late for our friendship or to have anything with Jake for you now.." Brooke said

"I do too." Lucas said, as he grabbed his keys out of his pocket, opening the door for Haley with his available hand. "People who are meant to be together always find their way in the end. Brooke will come back to me, just like Nathan will come back for you."
"You don't think I know that, Brooke?" Peyton said as tears continued to stream down her face. "I don't love Lucas though. I love you.. and I guess I loved what you and Lucas have. Don't block him out of your life because of me. He deserves better than that."

"Thank you Luke. I hope she will come back to you.." Haley went and got in Lucas car and sat there
"Peyton it's too late. I broke up with Lucas. But he doesn't even know the real reason.." Brooke said

"You're welcome, Hales." Lucas said, as they pulled into the hospital. "Call me if anything changes.. If not, I'll be by after school."
"It's never too late, Brooke. You of all people should know that. I mean we've been through so much Brooke.. and I'm sure that Lucas will understand that you made a mistake. Why'd you do it?" Peyton asked, realizing that she didn't know the real reason either.

"I will..thanks Luke.." Haley hugged him and got out of the car and walked in the hospital and to Nathan's room
"I know we've been through so much. I broke up with him after he said you all kissed the day of the shooting. He doesn't know you told me you love him and I figured he loves you since he kept kissing you behind my damn back!" Brooke yelled

Lucas watched Haley walk away, her confidence slowly faltering with each step she took. He knew that they would be alright. Something in his just gut told him so. They had to be. Once Haley was out of site, Lucas turned the keys in the ignition and began to head towards school, contemplating what he would say when he finally saw Brooke.
"No! That's exactly why he didn't tell you." Peyton sighed, realizing that she was going to have to relieve the memory of that day all over again. "He didn't want you to get hurt by something that meant nothing to him."

Haley went in Nathan's room and sat by his bedside.
"Whatever Peyton! It meant something to him or he would have told me!" Brooke yelled

Nathan was still lying there unconscious. The accident had caused him some serious internal damage, in addition to receive a minor fracture to his leg.
Lucas arrived at school and immediately began to scan the parking lot for Brooke's car. She was never usually early, so it didn't surprise him when her car was no where in sight.
"No, it didn't, Brooke!" Peyton stressed again, trying to make her friend understand. "The week after it happened he asked me about it.. and he told me that he loved me, but he said that he is in love with you, Brooke Davis. He didn't want to hurt you, and he knew this would.. because it did."

Haley just kept sitting there watching Nathan.
"Yeah sure he told you that Peyton! When did he tell you that?" Brooke asked still yelling at Peyton

Nathan could feel Haley's presence in the room, despite his unconcious state. He longed to just be able to say something to her, to let her know that he would be alright.
Lucas decided to remain in the car, knowing that the only person he wanted to talk to had not yet arrived. He let out a deep sigh as he rested his head back against the chair.
"In the library at the party you organized after the shooting." Peyton said, recalling her initial reaction when Lucas had told her the words she had just repeated. "I was in there sitting at the place he found me when I got shot, and he came in to talk to me about the whole situation. His heart was never away from you though, Brooke."

Haley just kept sitting there wishing Nathan would wake up soon.
"I don't believe a word you are telling me now for some reason. Why didn't you tell me you kissed him the day of the shooting?" Brooke asked

Nathan finally began to cough, rolling his eyes open to see Haley sitting there in front of him. "Hey.." He muttered, in a slightly hoarse voice.
Lucas was finally able to fall asleep, humming the tone to one the of songs that was stuck in his head.
"Why don't you believe me, Brooke? I don't have any reason to lie to you. God!" Peyton said, becoming slightly defensive at her accusation when she was clearly trying to open up to the broken girl in front of her. "I didn't tell you because it didn't mean anything to me either. I thought you would be mad at me, and I didn't want to lose you as a friend again."

Haley looked at him when she heard his voice "Hey..I should get the doctor and let them know you are awake.."
"Well too bad Peyton you lost me as a friend again and this time for good. and I am mad at you and Lucas both! I can't believe you two! You two really deserve each other!" Brooke said walking towards the door of Peyton's room

"Okay." Nathan said, as Haley had already began to scatter out the door. His body ached, and so did his head.. but he was glad that he was here with her. Everything would be alright as long as she was by his side.
"Because I really did something wrong! God, Brooke.. all I tried to do was be honest with you, but that's never been enough!" Peyton said on the verge of tears. "And why the hell are you even blaming Lucas?"

Haley went to get the doctor to tell them Nathan was awake now.
"Don't bring on the fake tears act either! And it is Lucas fault too!"

Nathan continued to lie there in the silence, unable to move as he awaited the doctor's arrival.
"How is it Lucas' fault? I kissed him. I thought I was dying." Peyton said, emphasizing the last part as she let the tears flow. "And they're not fake tears.. God, you have no idea."

Haley walked back in the room with the doctor as he started checking Nathan out.
"It just is his fault. He shouldn't have went back in the school! He is always kissing you and saving you!" Brooke said "And they are fake tears Peyton.."
