Scars of a Dream

Chapter 1

There she sat at the table looking out into space. All she could do was sit there and question what her life has come to. How has her life changed so much within one year, one simple year? It was all because of one stupid game and a boy with the most enticing blue eyes. Those same blue eyes that belonged to the man she loved, but was no longer sure if he still loved her. What had she done? Why did she agree to go on this tour even though she really didn't want to? One name rings a bell…Chris Keller, the boy that ruined her life and left her with no options, except to make her own husband hate her.

Haley had escaped from the tour two months ago and since then she has only spoken to Nathan once. For most of the summer he was gone at High Flyers. Haley wrote him all the time telling him how much she loved him and how leaving him was the biggest mistake, but nothing happened between her and Chris like he seemed to think. No matter how many letters she wrote, she never received one back. While she didn't really expect him to write back, it still hurt. Atleast when she was on tour she called him a few times whether or not he chose to answer or erase her voicemail messages.

Besides writing Nathan the last two months she moved in with Brooke. Brooke gave her a hard time about Nathan and leaving him, but at the same time she was the reason Haley actually had a roof over her head. She has hung around Lucas a bit, but since Brooke's been back he has been giving her a little less time. That was also part of the reason Haley didn't try living with Lucas. While it may have not been said out loud it was understood that Lucas wasn't sure if Brooke would want him around Haley so much after what she did to Nathan. To Haley's luck Brooke wasn't too harsh and that is why she saw Lucas when she did.

One thing she noticed since she has been back was how Lucas acted towards her. When it was just the two of them things seemed to be good. But when Brooke or Peyton was around it was a different story. He was more on edge and closed her off. While it pained her to see this she knew it was her own fault.

Fault. She knew it was her own fault and not Nathan or Lucas or Brooke's or even Peyton's fault that she was in this position. So there Haley sat in her chair contemplating what would happen in a few days when they would all be forced to go back to school and they would all be forced to face one another. Or just better yet her.
