Hey guys! Here's chapter 2.. I hope you all like it! I love the reviews and thank you to everyone who reviewed. Chapter 3 will be up soon.
"Haley! Could you focus for like 2 minutes please?" Brooke screamed from the kitchen of Haley's New York City apartment. She had been trying to tell Haley her exciting news for almost 20 minutes now. "HALLEEEYYYYY!"
Haley got up from her seat in front of the TV and walked over to Brooke. "What could be so important that you couldn't wait until after the game?" Brooke never seemed to understand that Haley didn't like to be bothered during the Bobcats game. She always pretended that she just liked to see her favorite childhood team do well, but Brooke knew the real reason, Nathan Scott.
"Ugh, you sound like Lucas" Brooke said as she scrunched up her nose. "I will never understand why you watch the whole game and then turn it off before the interviews. All those cute sweaty boys in the LOCKER ROOM, if you ask me the only reason the game is worth watching is for the after show." Haley rolled her eyes as Brooke winked. "Anyway," Brooke went on "Guess what I booked for you…Alright I'll tell you! The MTV awards. You're going to perform and present! Not to mention that you're practically a shoe in for the Best New Artist Award." Brooke kept on rambling but Haley wasn't really listening because the game was in overtime and award shows weren't exactly new to her.
"…surprise guest so that's like super cool!" Haley noticed that Brooke had something about a surprise guest which brought her out of her thoughts and away from the basketball game. "Wait who's the surprise guest?" Haley questioned. "YOU ARE! Can you please listen to me?!" Brooke squealed. "You're the surprise guest, so no one will no you're there until you come out to perform. You know this means you're officially a superstar right? Only the biggest stars get asked to be the surprise guest!"
Haley thought all this over in her head. Was she really living her dream? Everything was in place, she was playing her music and people were actually listening. But was he listening? Did he buy her CD or watch her interviews? Did he even care? God she missed him. Had it really been 2 years since they had said goodbye? That night had been so hard. They yelled, and then they just walked away. She told him she loved him but he said that he had to leave and so did she. They wanted to remember what they had, before things got bad. They both deserved the dreams that they had worked so hard to achieve. They both walked away, but always looked back. She never really left him and he never really left her. They both just walked away.
Brooke knew what Haley was thinking about. It happened a lot, Haley got that distant look in her eyes and Brooke knew to just stop talking because Haley wasn't listening. Brooke hated that Haley wasn't always happy, she deserved to be happy, and she also deserved to be with Nathan. They were what her and Lucas strived to be. She tried to get Haley to just call Nathan for a long time but she wouldn't. Haley was convinced that Nathan had moved on and she didn't want to hurt him by calling. She would rather him be happy than her find closure. Brooke knew that Nathan hadn't move on, Lucas told her everything but he made sure she knew that it wasn't her place to tell Haley. Lucas always said this cheesy quote "If you love something set it free, if it comes back to you it was meant to be". Brooke always laughed at him when he said it but deep inside she knew it was true. I mean look at them, they had both let each other go but found their way back to each other, and things were better now then she could have every imagined. She just wished that Haley and Nathan could find their way back to each other.
After about 5 minutes they both snapped out of their thoughts.
"So, are you in?" Brooke asked
"Of course I'm in, I wouldn't miss being the surprise guest for the worlddd" Haley answered sarcastically, emphasizing the end of her sentence. Brooke hit her playfully, "Shut it, you know you're as excited as I am."
Haley smiled and nodded, of course she was excited she was living her dream. Little did she know that someone else was being persuaded to attend his first award show ever.
