Haley fell onto her bed, exhausted from the events of the day. Nothing new happened, just the usual, Nathan ignoring her, Peyton treating her like dirt and her missing her friendship with Lucas. Surprisingly, Brooke had been at her side and was trying to help her get through school by threatening anyone who looked at her funny. But Brooke couldn't always be with her, and that's when everyone seemed to attack her. Everyone saw her as a horrible girl who ditched her husband so she could run away with some guy who talks in third person and become famous. No one knew her side, or that leaving Nathan hurt her just as much as it hurt him. She got off her bed and attempted to do homework but her thoughts wouldn't leave her. She decided to do something that she hadn't done in a while. Grabbing a pen and paper, she began to scribble away her thoughts into lyrics. Her musical outlet, something she thought Nathan understood.
Brooke wandered into the apartment after cheerleading practice and found Haley still diligently writing.
"Hey Haley!"
Brooke's eyebrows furrowed as she got no reply.
"Tutor girl? Helloooooo! You better not be ignoring me!" as she stomped her feet like an angry two year old.
Finally Haley turned and looked surprised to see Brooke home.
"Hey Brooke, what are you doing home already?"
Brooke looked at Haley strangely. "Cheerleading practice is over…are you ok?"
"Yeah, I guess I just lost track of time," she said. "So, um, I've been thinking and I've decided to leave Tree hill to – "
"WHAT? No, you can't just move away! That was the problem last time, please stay Tutor girl."
"I just can't do this anymore, deal with all this hate. Nathan's the towns golden boy and everyone is always going to see me as the girl who broke his heart. I just want things to go back to normal." Her eyes starting to water.
Brooke quickly hugged Haley tightly before holding her at arms length so she could look at her face. "Are you sure moving away is the best option? I'm sure I can think of a kick ass plan to get Naley back together!"
"I don't know Brooke, this is killing me. Seeing him but not being with him. And Peyton's always on my case, I still don't know what I did to her. And God, my friendship with Luke, is so far from what it used to be."
"How about I make you a deal, stick it out for another week, I'll deal with P. Sawyer and think of a plan to get naley reunited. If u STILL think u need to get out of Tree Hill, then I'll support you ok?"
Haley thought about it and sighed, "you win as always Tigger. Thank you for being such a great friend."
"I'll always have your back tutor girl."
Brooke silently prayed that everything went well this week and Haley decided to stay in Tree Hill.
