This starts at the end of Life in a glasshouse, when Lucas finds Haley.

Actions, reactions and consequences

Chapter 1

An exhausted looking Lucas Scott walks into his mother's café and finds, to his surprise, his best friend Haley James sitting on the floor by the counter crying. He immediately slides down next to her and puts one of his arms over her shoulder as she leans into him as a reflex, looking for comfort.

"Hales what's wrong?"

"Nothing".

"Yeah cuz you're always crying your eyes out when everything is just peachy. Just cut the crap and spill, I know you remember"

"I just feel so stupid".

"Nathan?" Lucas asks with a sign

"Who else? I can't believe I fell for his act, I'm so stupid... I mean everyone tried to warn me you and Peyton mostly though. But did I listen..NOOOOOO... I had to be all stubborn thinking I knew him."

"Listen to me Hales... You are not stupid ok? Whatever he did to lose you is his loss because you're wonderful in every way imaginable".

Haley smiles through her tears.

"What?"

"Only you can think of even using a cliché like that in this situation let alone do it"

"Hey I'm offended by that anyway it worked didn't it?

"Kind of, so enough about my misery for now. You and Peyton huh?"

"Talk about misery"

"I'm lost"

"Let's just say I need to learn when to shut up"

"About time you figured it out"

"Figured what out?"

"That you got a big mouth on you"

"Hey!"

"It's true"

"Sadly yes"

Lucas wipes away some tears, which are still falling, from Haley's cheeks before dragging her up on her feet with him and giving her a big hug.

"Are you going to be ok?"

"Yeah. Thanks Luke"

"For what"

"For being my friend"

Haley reaches up to give him a soft peck on his cheek but at that exact moment he turns his face around and her lips lands on his. It's just a feather light touch of lips, which last for a split second before they realize what is happening and pulls away.

"Ahem…I guess I should be going then, see ya tomorrow Hales", Lucas simply says choosing to ignore what just happened, however, Haley has other plans as she pulls him back for a real kiss and starts to unbutton his shirt, at first Lucas is shell shocked but quickly gets lost in the sensations Haley is invoking on him.

Hours later a confused Haley wakes up next to a sleeping Lucas on the floor with their clothes all over the place. Naturally when the memories of what they just done come floating back, her first instinct is to panic and she tries to sneak out only to find herself pinned down by Lucas's arm. Her stirring has apparently woken him up because he mumbles.

"You are not going anywhere" and pulls her closer to his naked body again.

With a fake sign Haley makes herself comfortable and falls asleep with a smile on her lips.

Please keep in mind that this is a fan fiction, if you think anyone behaves out of character compared to how they are portrayed on the show. Also I don't know the living arrangements, parents' names etc of some characters, so I've just made them up.
