Hey everybody! So a while ago I started watching Guiding Light clips of "Manny" on YouTube. For those that don't know who that is, Bethany Joy Lenz starred on the show from 1998-2000 as Michelle Bauer. Her on-screen couple of Michelle and Danny was named "Manny." I would recommend you watch the clips if you get a chance. I watch them ALL the time when I'm bored or want to procrastinate from school.

Anyway, I decided to turn the story of "Manny" into a OTH version. At first I was just writing it for fun and to help me cope with stress. But after having a friend read some of the chapters, she encouraged me to post them. I've been working on this for about 2 years because of what I do for the story. I've literally watched the clips on YouTube and written the lines down. I have slightly changed some of the lines or taken out one or two story lines, but for the most part the lines are word for word from the clips.

I will say that I thought carefully about what OTH characters would be the Guiding Light counter parts. Unfortunately because of how the characters transferred, there is a Laley romance at the beginning of story. Trust me, I HATED writing it as much as you hate reading it. But don't fear. This is a Naley story. I will never ship Laley romantically, but for the sake of the story, I had to put it in there.

I know there may be some people thinking that I'm not being very creative copying the lines verbatim from Guiding Light. But as I said, I wrote this for myself starting out so I didn't care.

I hope you guys enjoy the story and fall in love with "Manny" as much as I do! Bethany Joy is amazing as both Michelle and Haley!

Prologue

Haley and Lucas standing next to Lucas' car. He was about to leave, so they were saying their goodbyes. "You sure didn't pack light." Haley said, noticing the two bags Lucas had in his car.

"Well I have to be prepared for whatever the publishers want. I may have to go to fancy dinners and dress up."

"Lucas, you're only gonna be gone for a couple days." She chuckled.

"I know. But New York has some pretty strange weather sometimes. And it's not like I had a whole lot of time to sort out my clothes. I just threw it all in." Haley stood up on her tiptoes and buried her head into his neck. "I don't want to leave." He said.

Haley pulled back and looked at him confused. "What are you talking about? This is a great opportunity for you."

"I just hate leaving you by yourself."

"I hate it too, but we'll see each other before you know it. Unless you meet some New York chick and forget all about me." She half joked.

"Hey, hey. I am not gonna meet some New York chick, ok. I will never forget you." He brought his hand up and rubbed her cheek with his thumb. "I have every feature of your amazing face memorized."

"Lucas, I was just teasing. I know you love me."

"I do. And don't forget it." He said, kissing her.

Haley pulled away and smiled. "Get out of here. You'll do great."

Lucas walked around to the driver's side of his car and climbed in. He started the car and stared at Haley. He was trying to remember every single thing about her. How her hair was, how she was dressed, the little beauty mark above her lip, everything. This would be the last time he would ever see her face.

"I love you." He said, before driving away.

Haley stood there watching Lucas drive off, trying to contain the tears that were about to fall. She knew he would only be gone for a few days, but that didn't stop her from feeling like a part of her was gone.

"Isn't the wrong person running away, Haley?" a voice said.

Haley instantly recognized the voice and turned around to see Nathan standing behind her. She grew terrified. He knew.

Nathan walked toward her, forcing Haley to back up against the wall of a building. "Why? Why didn't you just tell me the truth in the beginning, Haley?"

"What truth?" she asked, beginning to cry.

"Lucas did not kill Damien, you did! And now there's only one way to finish this."

"Oh my God, Nathan! You're actually gonna kill me?" she was terrified.

"Shut up!" Nathan grabbed her arm, pulling her away from the wall. "Come with me."

"I didn't mean to!" Haley pleaded.

Nathan covered her mouth with his hand and wrapped the other around her body, holding onto her tight. "The game is over, Haley. Please don't make this any harder for me than it already is."
