CRASH INTO YOU
1. Story of my Life
Haley sat on her dressing table and picked a picture off her mirror. It showed two eight year olds standing at the park, grinning from ear to ear. She smiled as a tear rolled down her cheek.
10 years ago.
Haley was sitting content on a swing, humming quietly to herself.
'You have a pretty voice.' A boy spoke behind her.
'I wasn't even singing.' Haley blushed.
She heard the boy sit down next to her on the other swing. They sat in a peaceful silence for a while.
'So what is your name?' Haley asked.
'Nathan Scott. What's yours?'
'My name's Haley.'
Haley turned to look at Nathan. He was small, but still taller than her. His hair was a very black. But it was his eyes that grabbed Haley the most. They were a bright blue colour, bluer than anything she had seen before.
'So do you have many friends?' Nathan asked her.
'Not really. I have my brothers and sisters though.' Haley piped up. 'My family is very big. I have 3 sisters and 4 brothers. I won't tell you their names because you won't remember them.' She giggled.
'I don't have any real friends. I don't have any brothers or sisters either.' Nathan looked at the ground. 'Do you want to be my friend?'
'I would love that. I don't think my family needs me anyway.'
They smiled at each other. Suddenly a voice broke through their thoughts.
'Oh Nathan honey you've found a friend!' shrieked a woman running towards the swings. 'What is your name sweetie?' she asked Haley. 'I'm Deb, by the way.'
'I'm Haley.' She replied nervously.
'That's a beautiful name.' Deb smiled brightly. 'Come on, let's get a picture of you two on your first day as friends.'
Haley held back the tears. She and Nathan had come a long way since then. They had shared so many good times together. They had grown up together, never leaving each other's sides, but never becoming more than friends. Everyone was sure they should be more, but they were too scared to admit their feelings.
It hadn't all been plain sailing. They had had their fair share of fights over the last 10 years. But they always made up.
5 years ago.
'You have a BROTHER?' Haley screamed as she walked straight into Nathan's bedroom. 'A fucking brother! And you never told me! How could you keep something like that from me Nathan!' she gasped for air. 'A five year friendship, and you forgot to mention a brother!'
Nathan looked at his feet. 'Haley I – '
'-No Nathan don't! I can't believe you didn't tell me! Our first conversation was to do with our families. You said there was no one!'
'Haley I didn't realise – '
But Haley wasn't listening, instead she rambled on. 'And Lucas Scott! It had to be him, didn't it? That stupid stuck up jock who thinks he is the best thing that walked the planet. And he is supposed to be your brother? You know how much we hate him Nate, I just don't get why you didn't tell me.' She sat down on the bed.
'Haley. Listen to me.' Nathan pleaded. 'I only found out last week!' he sighed. 'I didn't tell you because I didn't really know what to say, or how I felt about it. How did you find out?'
'I heard Lucas and his jock loser crew talking about it. Something about how is ashamed to have you as a brother. I think it should be the other way around though.' She smiled weakly at Nathan. She threw her arm around his shoulders and hugged him. 'It'll be ok Nate. I'm here if you want to talk.'
Nathan hugged her back and sighed. 'I just don't know why my mum didn't tell me.'
Haley smiled slightly at the memory. It had turned out that Nathan's father, Dan Scott, had got another woman pregnant just before he met Deb. He left her to stay with Deb, who soon became pregnant.
A knock on the door interrupted Haley's thoughts.
'Are you ready Miss James?' the Brooke called through the door, using a posh accent.
'Yes, I'll be right there!' Haley smoothed down her eye-catching purple dress. Her hair fell onto her shoulders in loose curls. She looked at the blue summer dress hanging on her door. She was glad she hadn't worn that.
2 years ago.
'I cannot believe you are 16 hales!' Nathan grabbed her into a hug. Haley smiled at him. She wobbled slightly on the spot; she needed to slow down on the champagne. She giggled loudly.
'Are you drunk Haley?' Nathan asked, looking into her large brown eyes. Haley giggled again, pulling at her blue dress.
'Nope.' She laughed.
'You look beautiful Haley, blue suits you. And it matches my eyes.' He smirked. 'So you enjoying your party?'
'Yeah, but something is missing.' she giggled. Then she did something neither of them expected. She kissed Nathan.
Nathan pulled back. 'Haley what are you doing?'
'Kissing you.' She kissed him again.
This time Nathan let the kiss go on, but then once more he pulled away.
'Haley, I'm not sure you actually want this. You are drunk.'
'But I love you Nathan.'
'I love you too Haley.'
'No Nathan, I am in love with you. I have been for a while now. I can't stand not being with you. I want to be with you. Did you not feel it too a few weeks back?'
'Maybe I did, but I can't do this Haley. I don't think it's right.' And with that Nathan walked away.
After that fight Haley got really drunk. After that fight Haley met Nathan's brother properly for the first time. After that fight Haley kissed Lucas. After that fight Haley lost her virginity.
To Lucas Scott.
