When the Rain Falls
Ch. 1 When the Rain Falls
Lucas strained to listen for the barely audible knock he thought he heard. Upon hearing it once more, Lucas opened his door to find a tear-streaked Haley sobbing uncontrollably. He wrapped his arms around his best friend protectively; pulling her close to him with one arm while the other closed the door behind them. He held onto her in this safe, comforting position for a few minutes, hoping to absorb any of the pain his friend was feeling. He couldn't stand to see her hurt and was desperately trying to hold himself back from pounding anyone who might have brought her to tears. He pulled her into a tighter embrace, resting his chin on her shoulder while she snuggled her head against his chest.
(Oh...oo oo)
(I don't understand)
(This should be so easy)
(To just reach my hand)
This closeness made him realize how much he missed Haley. Ever since he joined the team, he was preoccupied with basketball, Nathan, Peyton and/or Brooke. He missed the quiet, simple life he lived with Haley before all the drama entered his life. Before he yelled at Haley at the café in front of his mother. Before, before he grew apart from the one person in his life that was his support and his constant. He blew it, but he's willing to apologize and return back to the friendship they once had. Now is a good of a time as any.
"Haley...what's the matter?" Lucas asked as he looked into the saddest eyes he had ever seen.
(And know the world is free) (But nothing's, as it seems)
(I can tell you freely)
(Touching's not the only way to feel)
Haley was only able to mutter, "Everything," before breaking into a fit of sobs once more.
(When the rain falls)
(It's like heaven's crying)
(When the name's all)
(The difference that there is)
Tilting Haley's face towards him, he said in a quiet voice, "What do you mean by everything?"
Realizing that coming to Lucas only made her problems worst, she broke away from Lucas' embrace and backtracked, moving towards her only way out; her easy escape where she wouldn't have to confront her problems head on.
(Cause tears are)
(The same when they are trying to grow something good)
(Out of all the pain)
(There's no difference between the teardrops and the rain).
Noticing Haley's attempt to make a quick exit, he grabbed her arms, not willing to lose her again.
"Haley, please talk to me," Lucas states desperately, trying to figure out how to get Haley to open up to him. "You can TRUST me."
"Luke, let me go." Haley tries to free herself from the firm grasp, but it was no use. She had to think of something to say or do so she wouldn't have to face him for long.
(I know you proudly say)
(That I'm just talking crazy)
(To think of life that way)
(Means that I'm confused)
"Not until you tell me what's wrong." Sensing that she was building a wall, he felt a pain worse than when he got hit by the car.
(There's happy and there's sad)
(But maybe yes just maybe)
(The sadness can make the happiness more true)
"Did Nathan say or do something to you? Because if he did, I swear to God, I don't care what the cops do to me after I'm through with him." Lucas let go of Haley's arms and began heading towards the door, his face etched with determination.
(When the rain falls)
(It's like heaven's crying)
(When the name's all)
(The difference that there is)
This time Haley grabbed her friend's arm. "No Lucas! It's not what you think."
Lucas turned around to look into Haley's chocolate brown eyes. "Then what is it Hales?" Lucas asked in a choked voice, unable to hide his hurt and confusion.
(Cause tears are)
(The same when they are trying to grow something good)
(Out of all the pain)
(There's no difference between the teardrops and the rain)
"I can't bare to tell you. Please just leave this alone," Haley begged, hoping that her pleads would be heard. "Forget I ever came by."
(Because I know the bones were necessary)
(I don't let it bother me at all)
Lucas finally let the tears he's been holding fall. He could no longer pretend to be strong at this moment when the one person who would tell him her secrets, hopes, aspirations, and fears was not able to...to...
"How can you expect me to just forget that my best friend in the whole world is upset and not able to confide in me? How Hales? How?"
(When the rain falls)
(It's like heaven's crying)
(When the name's all)
(The difference that there is)
"By-by trusting me. It will be better for both of us if you just let me walk out that door," Haley sobbed even harder, looking down at the floor. She couldn't bare seeing the hurt and pain she had caused the person who meant everything to her, but she knew that it was for the best for both of them.
(Cause tears are)
(The same when they are trying to grow something good)
(Out of all the pain)
(There's no difference between the teardrops and the rain.)
"I can't do that Hales," explained Lucas. "I NEED to know what's wrong and I won't let you walk out without telling me."
Haley sighed. She knew that when Lucas made up his mind, he was persistent and won't give up until he got what he wanted.
Relenting, Haley stated the four most devastating words Lucas ever heard. "I'm leaving Tree Hill."
(Oh...oo oo)
