'I never promised you a ray of light I never promised there'd be sunshine everyday.
I'll give you everything I have.
The good the bad…
Why did you put me on a pedestal?
I'm so high that I can't even see the ground below.
So help me down, you've got it wrong.
I don't belong here
One thing is clear I wear a halo I wear a halo when you look at me.
But standing from here You wouldn't say so You wouldn't say so if you were me.
And I… I just wanna love you.'
"That was amazing Hales."
Haley whipped around and saw him. Her best friend of her whole life. He hadn't changed from when he left. He still had that smile, that walk, the way he stood. He was still her best friend.
She got up slowly, and started walking slowly towards him, then suddenly started running as fast as she could. She couldn't get to him fast enough. She kept thinking Run, Haley, Run . When she finally got to him, she hugged him with all her might. Knocking both of them to the cerement of the Rivercourt.
"God, I missed you Luke." she said into his ear.
"Me too, Hales, me too." he whispered, hugging her hard, he wouldn't let her go again, never, never.
As they got up, Lucas studied her, her hair was lighter, but her eyes, they were still the same. Brown like chocolate. He could always read them easily, and today was no exception. They were full of pain, full of anxiety of what she caused, but most surprisingly, he saw a speck of happiness. He guessed he caused that, he didn't push her away, and knowing Haley, that's probably what she was most worried about. Rejection.
Then, tears…
"What's wrong Hales?" he asked, wiping the tears off her cheek.
Haley remained silent, only hugging him again. "I just wished I never went on that stupid, stupid tour."
Lucas stroked her hair, he wondered what to say, what to say to make this better, make her better. He was usually always good with words, but to that remark he was clueless. Yes, he wished she hadn't gone of that tour. It broke him to pieces that she just left, no goodbye, no warning, no nothing. But in his heart, he knew that she had to do the tour for her.
Haley started sobbing harder into his chest and Lucas whispered, "It's okay Hales, it's all going to be okay, with time."
Like Lucas, Haley wondered too, was it really going to be okay?
