Previously on "One Tree Hill.."

For the next five hours, until midnight

tonight these boys are at your beck and call.

- Eighty dollars! - Eighty-five!

- Ninety! - 'Ninety-two dollars!'

You have to bid. I want you to buy Nathan.

- Why? - To keep him away from them.

- 'Going twice.' - $112.53.

- Sold! - Yes!

'Jake, please.'

Keeping Jenny away from me because I hurt you is wrong.

But you betrayed me.

I'm gonna be in her life, Jake.

With you or without you.

What's on your back?

Twenty-three.

- That's great, Hales. - Lucas.

No, that's just like him to get you branded

with his jersey number right above your ass.

He doesn't even know about it!

- Where's my shirt? - Oh, here.

I owe you a kiss.

I guess so.

I've been carrying this around with me since

the night of the accident.

I love you, Karen.

I need to talk to you.

Okay.

I think I'm pregnant.

What do you mean, "You think?"

I mean, I'm late.

Like...late.

Did you take a test?

Okay.

Okay, um..

Look...we have to know.

Okay, maybe.

Maybe it's just a false alarm, you know?

Come on.

Drugstore's still open.

We'll do it together, okay?

Marry me.

I don't know what to say.

Well, "Yes" would be a good start.

It just seems so out of the blue.

What, after 15 years?

Look, Karen, when you left for Italy

we had a future.

We're still the same two people

who stood at that airport.

I'm the man, who was in love with you..

...and I still am.

I love you, too, Keith.

I mean, you're my best friend.

You've been a wonderful father figure for Lucas.

But the time away, the distance..

...it gave me new perspective.

- On us? - On everything.

Tree hill is such a small part of the world..

...an-and maybe it's where I belong

but there's-there's so much more out there.

Italy was the first time since Lucas was born

that I've spent any time alone.

'I realized I only know myself as Lucas' mother.'

I've gotta find the rest of me.

You mean the world to me, Keith.

But I'm sorry.

I can't marry you.

It's positive.

Oh, my God.

I'm pregnant.

Oh, come on.

I know you're still mad at me, okay?

But I'm here for you.

I will go to the doctor tomorrow in the city.

- I'll take you. - I'll take myself.

Brooke.

I'm just as scared as you are, okay?

'But I wanna help.'

Please, just..

...trust me.

Yeah, 'cause that worked out so well for me the last time.

Hey, you, wake up.

- Oh, hey. - Hey.

I didn't hear you come in.

Well, you didn't hear your alarm clock, either.

That's 'cause it didn't go off.

Not everybody gets up at six.

'Jeez.'

Well, it's time to get up.

I am up. Come here.

- Oh, yeah? - Uh-hmm.

Oh, I'll get that.

You want me to...start your shower?

Uh, yeah.

Thanks.

Okay.

So, what happened?

The nurse said they'd call me in a few hours

with the results and then

she asked me about the father.

'What did you say?'

I told her the sorry bro-ho

kicked my ass to the curb.

God.

So this whole thing with Haley really was just

your way of messing with me, huh?

What's your problem now?

I saw you making out with Peyton last night.

Look, maybe you're a little slow

but we kissed because it was the auction rules.

I know what I saw.

I'm about to beat your ass, man.

I promised Haley I'd give you a break.

That's about the only thing that's saving you, right now.

Look, I kissed Peyton like you kissed Haley, that's it.

What are you so tweaked about?

Never mind.

Sorry.

What do you want, Nicki?

I think we covered that.

- Let me hold her. - No, no she's-she's tired.

She needs to..

Peyton, could you take Jenny

into her room for me, please?

- Yeah. - Thanks.

Is that your girlfriend?

She's just a friend, okay?

She sits for Jenny sometimes.

- Relax, I'm just asking. - Nicki.

Listen, our little romantic outing

to the grocery store got me thinking.

You shouldn't have to be using food stamps

and paying for everything, I can help you.

I have some tuition money left--

I don't want your money.

Jake, this isn't fair.

You won't let me be a part of my daughter's life

but you'll hand her off to some babysitter?

Hey, Jenny loves Peyton.

She's got a lot of other people that care about her, too.

None of those people are her mother.

What are you looking at?

'Your life.'

'Yeah, yeah, that's my life.'

You notice who's not in it?

Brooke, hold up. Still no news?

Did I come find you?

Where are you goin'?

- Away from you. - Hey, come on.

You can't cut me out of this. I'm just as worried as you are.

Oh, really, or are you just worried that having

a kid might deflate your market value?

- That's not it. - Oh, that's right.

You're not on the market anymore.

You're a one-woman kind of guy.

Speaking of which, how is my former best friend?

Peyton has nothing to do with this, okay?

Not yet.

Maybe you could pull a Dan Scott and knock her up, too.

Brooke!

Or maybe then you can move on to random bar sluts.

Oh, wait, you've done that. Better be careful, Danny Jr.

You never know how many kids you're gonna end up with.

That's real nice, Brooke. And by the way.

It's not like I'm the only guy you've ever slept with.

What's your point?

How do I even know it's mine?

It's the doctor.

Hello?

Yeah, this is Brooke.

Okay.

Thank you.

Trust me, it's yours.

♪ Ba da bup bup bup bup ♪

♪ Someone like you.. ♪♪

Oh!

That reminds me.

How did you get in here?

Door was open. Why, who were you expecting?

Another high-school boy with his pants around his ankles?

What do you want, Dan?

I want my son to come to his senses.

Have you seen his apartment?

Uh, yeah, I dropped off some food.

Did he ask you for any money?

Mnh-mnh, but I gave him some.

Oh, that's great. That's great.

Don't you ever want him to come home?

I want him home as much as you do

but for once in his life you need

to let him make his own mistakes.

Right, you bring him food and cash and I'm the one

who needs to let him make his own mistakes.

Oh and by the way you can tell your friend Karen

her son was coming out of a family-planning clinic

with a date.

Is that the kind of mistake you had in mind for Nathan?

- You hungry? - Oh, I'm hungry for you.

No, I'm serious, we can heat something up

or go out and eat if you want to.

What's wrong?

Nothing. I'm just hungry.

I don't buy it. Talk to me.

Well, I just don't feel like making out, that's all.

You realize you just said that, right?

Since when?

Since you got my jersey number tattooed on your ass.

Oh.

Above my ass, actually, um.

When did you see that?

This morning.

Does that bother you?

I'm just confused as hell.

I mean, you'll do something that permanent

but you won't have sex with me?

You can get a tattoo removed, Nathan.

Sex is a really big deal for me.

I get that, that's why I haven't been pressuring you into it.

The way that you're not pressuring me right now?

I'm gonna heat up some food.

- Brooke. - I'm busy.

Look, don't shut me out of this, okay?

We can deal with it together.

We're not together, remember?

You dodged the bullet just in time.

Hey.

Nathan told me about the fantasy-kiss scenario

you thought you saw, were you high?

The kiss didn't mean anything I wouldn't do that to Haley.

Yeah, I guess I overreacted.

She's gone, you know.

- Huh? - Brooke.

Why-why do you assume I'm looking for Brooke?

Because you are.

Is she still freezing you out?

- Yeah, sort of. - Me too.

- Do you wanna talk about it? - Huh.

No, I think I've screwed things up enough as it is.

- Yeah, me too, but-- - No, it's worse than that.

What, worse than the death-wish best-friend love triangle?

What'd you do, tell her she was fat?

Okay, look, she's pissed at me, too, but she's still my friend.

- What's going on? - What were we thinking, Peyton?

You and me or you and Brooke?

All of us.

I..

I guess we weren't.

I like that.

What color is it?

Shag.

Did Nathan ever cheat on you?

Where'd that come from?

I just wonder if...maybe he's gonna start looking

somewhere else for what he's not getting from me.

Hmm, the big, bad sex issue.

Yeah.

'I mean..'

...we start making out, and it's great

and I totally get into him

and then I just hit this point.

Bet he loves that.

Yeah.

Aah, I guess I just always thought I would wait

until I fell in love and got married..

...and then I met Nathan, and everything got really confusing.

It was never something I had to deal with right away.

It was always a few years off, and then all of a sudden..

It wasn't?

I've been down that road.

I don't know if I'm ready, Peyton.

Or maybe you're just not sure if Nathan's the right guy.

No, I'm.. I can safely rule that out.

He..

I can't breathe when I'm around him

and when I'm not around him, I want to be.

I'm just, I'm totally in love with him.

Well..

...then, you've gone further with him than I ever did.

Be careful of those knees.

Trust me, I know.

I also know what it's like to be sidelined with an injury.

I wouldn't wish it on anyone

who's serious about their game.

How's the shoulder?

Fine.

Good.

You know, I saw you at the clinic

the other day with that girl.

And I have to tell you

you're treading in my area of expertise.

You know, Lucas, one day I woke up, and I was looking down

the barrel of a life I couldn't control.

'Maybe you find yourself in the same situation.'

I just thought you could use some advice.

I can see that you're scared..

...but don't let that fear cloud your vision.

You know, I asked your mom to get an abortion.

She said no. She was too emotional.

If she was thinking clearly

she would have done what I said.

'So your advice is to have an abortion.'

The way you would have aborted me.

You got a lot of life yet to live, Lucas.

Don't let this girl make the same mistake

your mother made.

'Cause if you do ...you'll be paying for it

until the day you die.

I'm glad you came by, Keith.

I've been so caught up in my own problems

we haven't had a chance to catch up.

Well, you might as well hear it here.

I asked Karen to marry me.

- What? - Mm-hmm.

And she said no.

Oh.

Oh, Keith, I'm so sorry.

You know, you never picture it.

I mean, you run through your mind

a thousand times over 15 years..

...you know, how the moment will feel

when the woman you love agrees to be your wife..

...but you never see her saying no.

Well, you're still an important part of her life.

That won't change. She needs you.

Well, maybe she needs me

but she doesn't want me.

Hmm, I'm sorry.

Oh, what did Lucas say?

I don't even know if she's told him yet.

Dad.

Whoa, looks like I missed the party.

You weren't invited.

You should have called.

Why? You don't call back.

I had to run a credit check to get your address.

Your mother wouldn't give it to me.

Hey.

You think you're ready for this?

I got news for you, son.

Playing house costs a lot of money.

- Okay, so I'll get a job. - Oh, great.

What's that gonna do to your game?

It's okay to be irrational every once in a while

but if you thought this thing through?

I give you a week out in the real world.

You know what the best part

about having my own place is, dad?

- I can ask you to leave. - Fine.

But the beach house will be there for you

when you hit rock bottom.

And you will.

Who you calling?

Jake, maybe?

Look, I know you babysit Jenny, but I'm back now.

So Jake and I won't be needing you anymore.

Oh, and if there's anything going on between you and Jake..

...well, you're not gonna be a permanent part

of my daughter's life, so, if I were you

I wouldn't get too attached.

If I were you, I would walk away.

You have to know you're temporary, right?

I mean, all the babysitting in the world

isn't gonna make you Jenny's mother.

All the eyeliner in the world won't make you anything

other than a psycho stalker bitch.

Friend of yours?

It's Jake's ex.

All of a sudden, she's trying to deal with her issues

and I think I'm one of them.

Scary.

So you're talking to me?

Yeah.

There's some stuff going on, and I don't know what to do.

I screwed up. I can't even say it.

Is it about Lucas?

'Cause he was really upset yesterday.

I thought you and Lucas weren't together.

No, we're not, we were just--

You know what? Forget it, Peyton.

You are the last person I should be talking to.

Damn.

Yeah, I didn't want to tell anybody, but--

Well, hey, I didn't want to tell anybody, either

but I felt a lot better after I did.

'What does Brooke want to do?'

I don't know. She won't talk to me.

What do you want her to do?

How do you answer that?

I'm just walking around like a zombie right now.

I guess I want whatever's best for her.

Does she think she's gonna have it?

You know, Nicki and I we talked

about not keeping the baby.

Yeah, so did Dan and my mom.

But how screwed up is that, huh?

If she'd have listened to him, I wouldn't be

'standing here right now.'

Well, Luke, I don't want to lie to you.

If-if Brooke has this kid, your life it's gonna change.

Where's your head at?

Well, my head says we're not ready

to be parents yet, you know?

I can't even take care of myself.

Plus, there's college not just for me, but for Brooke too.

God, my mom is gonna freak out.

- Hey. - Hi.

Are you kidding?

Gotta sell the car to pay for the apartment.

What is your dad gonna say?

He can say whatever he wants, it's still my car.

You know, if you need some extra money

I could always be your sugar mama.

What's wrong?

Nothing. It's just, um..

You said you weren't ready, so I'm trying to respect that.

So we can't even kiss now?

No, I'm-I'm just trying to make you comfortable and, um..

I'm sor-I'm sorry, Nathan.

I know this is so not fair to you, I..

No, actually, it's not fair to you.

- I-- - Just.

Just don't apologize, okay?

'Mom?'

Oh, hey.

- Did I wake you? - No.

Sometimes I can't sleep.

I just lie awake and worry.

What are you worried about?

I'm a mother, Lucas.

I worry about everything.

What are you doing up?

I have something I have to tell you.

You should sit.

Okay.

I think I'll stand.

This is gonna hurt you, mom..

...and I'm sorry.

What happened?

Brooke's pregnant.

Oh, God, Lucas, I'm sorry.

I guess I deserved that.

Lucas.

Look, I didn't mean it, Lucas.

- I'm pretty sure you did. - No, I didn't.

It's just that..

...do you understand?

This is exactly what I didn't want for you!

Have I been talking to myself the last few years.

You have so much left to do in life.

So does Brooke. Oh, God.

You're both just too young for this.

Don't cry, mom.

It's just that I'm scared for you.

I cannot believe that this is happening.

How close was I to not existing?

Dan wanted to have an abortion, mom.

Why didn't you listen to him?

Because I realized..

..that I wanted you in my future.

What does Brooke want?

I don't know.

She must be so scared.

Lucas.

What are we gonna do?

Alright, hot off the grill, my friend.

- I supersized it. - I'm not hungry.

Alright, more for me.

So, uh..

...I gotta ask you kind of a personal question.

Just out of curiosity.

How many times per minute do guys think about sex?

- Per minute? - Yeah.

"Elle Magazine" said that guys think about sex

like every 30 seconds.

You're thinking about having sex with him?

- Shh! - Sorry.

Look, it just ...it keeps coming up and I..

Uh. Sorry, wrong words.

Look.

It's not my place to tell you

how to live your life, Hales.

But for what it's worth.

I wish I would have waited.

Really?

All I'm saying..

...is just look past the moment.

If you're not ready..

...then just wait.

Okay?

I didn't hear you come in.

I didn't make any noise.

Your father stopped by.

He wanted your address, but I wouldn't give it to him.

- He found me anyway. - Sorry.

Nathan.

You can come home any time.

You know that, right?

I'm still here.

I don't wanna come home.

You know, I, uh..

I walk around this empty house

and it doesn't seem real.

I wish I could go back and do things differently.

I need to ask you a question.

Okay.

Why'd you do it?

- What? - Cheat on dad.

Aah, I-I was confused.

We were married so young, and suddenly

I was a wife and a mother before I was my own person.

But when we grew up, we grew apart.

Why, mom?

Why did you guys grow apart?

I wish I knew, Nathan.

But none of that makes what I did right.

Because you were married?

Because, I had a commitment to him..

...and to you.

Those moments of what I mistook for happiness

weren't worth the cost of hurting someone I loved..

...and losing you over it now.

- Nicki? - Hey, stranger.

How'd you find me?

I found out you were on Jake's basketball team.

After that, it didn't take a private eye.

- Oh, you know Jake? - Pretty well, actually.

Jenny's my daughter.

Small world, huh?

Oh, look, uh, Jake's a good friend, okay?

- I had no idea. - Neither did I.

And that's why I don't want you to say anything.

I didn't know who you were.

Lucas, I'm trying to get my family back together

and it's not going so well.

Remember th-that night

what you told me about your dad

how you feel about him?

I don't want Jenny to ever say the same thing about me.

'I still have a chance to correct my mistake, Lucas.'

Please don't say anything.

Keith?

Hey, Luke.

Hey.

I called you a couple times.

- How you been? - Now, I'm good.

I-I've just been dealing with some stuff.

Yeah, me too.

It's really good to see you.

How's the, uh, rehab going?

Oh, it's good. It's good.

I should be ready for the playoffs.

Hey, you look a lot better.

Sit down.

How's everything else?

Like...what?

Well, like the rest of your life.

'What's goin' on?'

There is something I wanna to ask you.

Sure.

When my mom got pregnant..

'...and Dan left..'

Why didn't you?

'Why'd you stand by her?'

Well...it was the right thing to do..

And I loved her.

And, um, I wanted to protect her.

'But...she really didn't need it.'

Ah, she was pretty tough, huh?

Your mom could've been anything in this life.

Yeah, if it wasn't for me.

Ah, Luke..

...you're the best thing that ever happened to your mom.

Trust me.

Look, Keith, um..

...I just wanted to apologize for the way I acted

while my mom was in Italy.

You know, Brooke and all.

That's water under the bridge.

No damage done, right?

Right.

I-I should...take off.

Yeah.

Uh, Luke?

You know I'm proud of you. Right?

Sure.

And I'll always be there for you.

You know, even if, ah, I'm not around as much.

Yeah, I know.

Is everything okay?

Yeah.

Yeah, everything's good.

Okay.

Alright, I'll see ya.

See ya.

Nathan, I know I'm driving you crazy.

- No, you're not. - Do you think that I'm a tease?

- Stop it. - Well, what do you think?

I think that you're my girlfriend

and I like to spend time with you.

Look, I just don't wanna push you.

- You're not. - But I am.

Haley, you got a tattoo, for God's sakes.

And it just freaks me out, a little bit

because obviously..

...this whole thing with us means a lot to you.

I just don't wanna do anything to pressure you

or drive you away.

Even though sometimes I can't help it.

Just like I can't help that I fell in love with you.

'Cause I did.

I love you, Haley.

And it scares me a little bit, but..

...there it is.

Wow.

There it is.

♪ Are you really waiting outside the door ♪

♪ Never thought I'd hear the words before ♪

I love you, too.

♪ World is falling in love ♪

♪ With you ♪♪

Something I can help you with?

Not really.

I just wanted to thank you for filling in

some of the blanks for me about how you felt

when my mom got pregnant.

Glad to be of help.

How's the situation with Brooke?

None of your business.

No?

Isn't that why you really came here?

You know, before this happened to me..

...I never quite understood

how you could be so selfish.

'Every day of my life, I wondered..'

...until now.

Now you see the other side.

Yeah, I guess I do.

Don't be so quick to judge me, Lucas.

It's easy to have all the answers from a distance

but everybody makes decisions they regret.

Me, your mother, Keith.

But we learn to live with it.

It's part of life.

Not my life.

Not yet.

Yeah.

Yeah, I thought that once.

Then I grew up.

I was, ah, hoping you'd come by soon.

We obviously need to talk.

I'm gonna make a change, Karen.

What do you mean?

Well, I woke up this morning..

...and everything just felt..

...far away.

And then I went outside, and for the first time

Tree Hill didn't feel like home.

And I just thought

"Why am I still here?"

You know?

I never planned on spending my whole life here and, uh..

...I just needed someone to remind me.

And you did that ...and that's okay.

Are you leaving?

Huh!

There's no time like the present, right?

Keith, this isn't because of me?

No.

No, it's because of me.

You did me a favor, Karen.

By going to Italy and uh..

...by saying no to me.

You woke me up, and I appreciate that.

Where are you gonna go?

I don't know.

But I gotta say..

...it feels really good to have options.

What part of "Stay away from me" do you not understand?

Just give me 60 seconds, okay?

I'm sorry, but argument cutoff was 9 o'clock.

Well, I don't want to argue.

You don't even have to say anything.

Just...listen.

My dad didn't want me, okay?

Not just that he didn't want to claim me..

...he didn't want me to be born.

Now, I always thought that...when I started a family

I'd be older ...and settled and I'd be--

In love?

Yeah.

But so did my mom.

- Lucas-- - No, no.

This whole thing scares the hell out of me, okay?

But whatever you decide to do

I'll be there.

'And if you're not ready, then you're not ready'

but if you wanna have this baby..

'...then so do I.'

And whatever it takes for me to be a good father..

...I'll be there...always.

'I promise you.'

'I won't let you down.'

Hey.

I lied.

What?

I'm not pregnant.

Okay, but I saw the test.

I know.

But then when the doctor called, he said I wasn't pregnant.

He said that can happen.

Okay, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.

I-I was standing right there when he called.

And you had just called me a slut.

So you lied to me to punish me?

How could you do that?

How could you cheat on me

with my best friend?

Brooke..

I never meant to hurt you.

That doesn't really matter, Lucas

'cause in the end, it all hurts just the same.
