Haley took a deep breath.
It's okay Hales. Just calm yourself. Breathe...
She has been standing outside Lucas' door for the past 10 minutes, clearing her thoughts to prepare herself to tell her best friend the big news. She has been keeping it from him for months and she can't bear to lie to his face anymore.
Okay... here goes nothing.
She tapped lightly on the door.
No answer.
Knock, Knock, Knock. A little bit louder she tried. Haley has become more nervous every minute.
No answer.
Where the hell is Lucas? Haley tried the knob and it swung open. She saw Lucas in front of the computer with his earphones on. No wonder he didn't hear me. Haley could not help but smile at her best friend. He might be the star basketball player at Tree Hill High but he was still Lucas. My Rocket Roe.
Lucas noticed someone standing behind him. When he turned around, his face brightened up. Haley never fails to cheer him.
"Hey buddy! How long have you been standing there? Are you just gonna stare at me? Come over here!!"
Haley was more nervous than ever. She had no idea how to break to Lucas the news. Or how he would handle it. As she was collecting her thoughts, Lucas turned off the computer and stood up to walk towards her. She still hasn't moved from the spot she was standing with her head bowed down.
"Hello! Earth to Haley! Are you there?!?" She could hear him laughing at her.
"Luke..." Lifting her head to meet his gaze but instead saw the shocked look at his face. She hasn't realized that Lucas was now standing right in front of her and now they were face to face.
"Oh my God... Haley... What happened to you???"
