Chapter 1

Ding dong- the doorbell rings

Please let her answer! Please let her answer…just about that time the door swings open and it wasn't her.

"Is Haley here?"

"Who wants to know?"

"Who are you? and umm.. Im a… friend." God that hurts.

"You wouldn't happen to be the "friend" he cupped his fingers, Nathan Scott would you?"

"Yeah I am, who are you again?, is haley here or not?"

"Jason James", he gave an evil glare.. " Im Haley's brother…and she is busy", he said with a harsh tone.

Just about that time, Haley came running down the stairs, "Hey Jay who is at the.." She stopped dead in her tracks as she reached the bottom of the stairs. "I told you to leave me alone!, do you not understand what that means, let me clarify if you don't know… leave me alone means you don't call, and you sure as hell don't come by my house! Do you get that?"

He stood there, what was he suppose to say, he couldn't remember why he was there, and then it hit him… "I needed to ask you a question.."

"Great, ask someone who cares!"

God she looks beautiful, her hair looks so good when its down and around her face, she looks upset.

She noticed him staring, "What Nathan, what is the oh so important question that you just had to come all the way over to my fricken house to ask?" she asked the anger rising in her voice

"It's about the trip…"

"What about it?" she asked her voice cracked a little.

" Umm I was wondering if I am still going?"

"I don't know you tell me, I don't make decisions for you, you do that!"

"Well I know but with all that's happened, I just didn't know if I was still invited.."

"Nathan if you recall we planned this trip LAST summer, our big graduation trip Remember?…your portion is already payed for, and I can't exactly give you your money back so I guess its your call…"

"But am I welcome?" He asked his eyes questioning, and his expression sad.

God I hate it when he looks at me like that…

"Sure, Nathan why not?, just do me a favor."

"Anything"

"Stay away from me Ok. I mean you can chill with Brooke and Luke or Peyton, but stay away from me, I can't handle it right now alright."

Crap he looks hurt, wait he deserves to be hurt! The a$shole!

Why, God why did I do this….God Ughh, he scolded himself in his head. What am I suppose to say to that..

"Umm..alright, I will stay away from you, but that might be kind of hard considering this is a three week venture…"

"Do your best" she answered quickly without hesitation.

There was an awkward silence, and the tension was thick..

It was soon interrupted

"Ok listen Haley I know this is like the last thing on earth you want to talk about right now, but does anyone know?"

God he is unbelievable!!

"No", she shot back at him

"Well what do they know?"

Why is he doing this..why now..it hasn't even been a full week..and now ..UGHH!

"Umm..well they know that I dumped you, and as of right now that's all they know, ..however if you want to keep it that way I suggest you not piss me off!" she answered calmly but she had anger in her tone.

God she is hott when she is pissed!

"So you didn't tell them?"

I already answered that, were you not paying attention

"No, I figured you would want to live, so yeah all they know is that I am pissed at you and I dumped you're a$s!..just the important part right?"

"Haley…"

"Nathan…"

Two can play that game! God why did he have to do this!

"God, Haley Im sorry…"

"Right..umm..we leave tomorrow at 6:00 am sharp. If your late we will leave you. So be here at 6:00. OK?"

"Yeah…ok, see you tomorrow," he said it with some happiness in his tone.

He turned to go.. "and Nathan."

"Yeah?"

"Remember our deal….you leave me alone ok?"

"Yeah." his face fell..he was definitely hurting.

He walked out the door.

What have I done…God why did I do this… She doesn't deserve this..

Meanwhile~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Man I thought he would at least give up the trip. Damn Him!

"Hey you ok?", Jay asked

"Yeah, yeah I am just peachy" Haley replied in a fake voice.

"Hal, what happened?, I mean telling me that he was an ass so you dumped him, doesn't really narrow it down. I don't mean to pry but didn't you tell me that you loved him, and that you are going to UNC for this dude?"

Crap…UNC I totally forgot..

"Yeah…well things change…what can ya do about it"

"Hal, it's probably better if I don't know..am I right?"

"Yeah…probably so..look I'm beat..im gonna go do some last minute packing and then im off to bed"

"Hey is he still going?"

Why is he asking this, Nathan Scott is the last person I want to think about right now

"Uhh..yeah he is..but only because he already payed for his portion and I can't pay it back right now"

"Is that a good idea, I mean you are still really upset…"

"You know Jas, I don't know, however you know me and I can't say no, never have been able to, so I guess im stuck with him for three weeks.."

God three weeks with him, no touching no kissing no soft caresses…man this trip could be the worse trip ever! Why did he have to do this…

"Im gonna go pack, and then hit the hay, I will say goodbye now, because im sure you wont be up at 6:00 in the morning"

"Damn straight I wont be up at 6, you have got to be nuts…oh but wait this is the girl who is going on her "graduation road trip", with her best friend, his promiscuous girlfriend, a tortured cheerleader and her loser for an ex-boyfriend, correct if im wrong."

"Shut-up." She chunked the first pillow she could find at his face.

He threw it back, and made his way over to her

He hugged her, "are you sure you're gonna be ok?" he asked concern in his voice.

"Well of course I am Haley James, the champion"

He chuckled at the thought of her saying that when she was three.

"Alright, well get some sleep"

"Ok" she smiled.

"Have a safe trip"

"Night Jas, Love you", she finished and started to make her way up the stairs

"And Haley.."

"Yeah?"

"Things change, but you can do something about it"

With that he walked towards the kitchen and her to her room to do the last minute packing, and some more staring at the ceiling, cuz Lord knows she wasn't gonna sleep.

Like it? Hate it? Lemme know!
