Chapter 3: Party
I giggled when I finally looked in the mirror. I had spent about an hour and a half getting ready and this was the result. I was wearing a pair of tight ripped jeans and a tube top. I was wearing heels to make me look taller and my make up was perfect. I was dressed to impress and the only person I really wanted to impress was Nathan.
I watched my self turn red in the mirror at the image of the brunette.
"He's so cute." I whispered looking at my glazed over eyes.
Peyton knocked on my door and told me to hurry up.
I grabbed a coat and went to where I kept my stash.
I looked at the brown substance and sighed when I saw the amount left. I was going to have to get the needles out if I was going to prolong the search for drugs in Tree Hill. I was sure they probably only had Meth anyway, it was a small town.
"Great." I said bitterly at the thought.
I wasn't really into Meth.
"Haley!" Peyton said pounding on the door again.
I stuffed the baggie in my pocket and went to the door to face Peyton.
"Chill." I said closing the door and turning to look at her.
She gave me a funny look then smiled at my outfit.
"Are you trying to get laid tonight?"
I smirked at her and flipped my hair, "maybe."
"Nathan going to keel over." I heard Peyton mutter as we walked to her car.
The drive to the party was quiet, neither of us had anything to say. We listened to the popular radio station and I groaned when I heard the familiar cords of the next song.
Peyton suddenly laughed.
"Is it weird to hear your own music?"
I nodded, "it's really weird. It's like another view of you. It's opening yourself up to the world." I said quietly.
I always got really philosophical when I was stoned.
Again Peyton gave me a weird look.
"Wow. Is this his house?" I asked when I saw a large house come into view.
Peyton nodded and we parked behind a whole line of cars.
"Are you ready?" she asked smiling at me.
I nodded and opened the car door. We walked to the front door together and I was surprised at the amount of nerves in me. I was gnawing on my lip before we got to the door. I watched as she opened the door in a fluid motion and stepped in. I followed and raised an eyebrow at what I saw.
I was more into clubs back in New York a lot of kids I knew had parties, but it was different. The parties in New York were smaller, about ten people and there was tons of drugs and booze. At this tree Hill party there was tons of people and tons of booze.
But there were no drugs.
And that was a problem.
"Do you want a drink?" Peyton yelled over the bass guitar solo on some song playing over the stereo.
The house was packed and the girls seemed to be dressed in as little as possible. I felt overdressed and overstyled. It was the first time I had ever felt self-conscious and out of place in my life. New York was all chic. Tree Hill was as quickly as possible. Here, everyone wanted everything now and face it was a lot more...white trash was probably the best way to describe it.
New York was as messed up as humanly possible, but you couldn't show it. Plus there were more drugs there. Tree Hill seemed to be made of beer and cheap beer at that. I was starting to realize that Tree Hill really was hell. Well at least it would be if I didn't find a Heroin dealer within a week.
I would go crazy and it would be known as the Tree Hill Massacres by Haley James. Hm...nice song title.
"Sure. Is there anything besides beer?" I asked walking with her into the kitchen.
We looked in the freezer and found a bottle of Vodka.
"That's what I'm talking about." I said sighing happily when we opened the bottle. I didn't even take a glass I just gulped it from the bottle.
"Damn girl! You can drink." A guy said as I put down the bottle. A fourth of the bottle was gone and I didn't feel any different.
"Thanks." I said smiling and watching as Peyton poured some into a glass.
"I'm Charles." the guy said smiling at me.
"You look familiar. But I don't think you go to my school..." he said squinting his eyes at me.
I laughed, "I'm Haley." Charles looked back and fourth between Peyton and I.
"Ah! So you're the infamous Haley James."
"Guilty." I said sighing.
"Well then, let me get you another drink and we can talk." he said smirking at me. I looked at Peyton who was talking to a blonde I shrugged and followed Charles to a different room.
"Peyton's been telling everyone you were coming." Charles started as we came to sit on a couch. I had somehow gotten another cup of beverage and I tasted it to see what it was.
It was Cranberry and Vodka, my favorite.
I drank most of the cup down.
"You see, Haley, I know about you and your...problem."
I looked up quickly from my cup.
"What problem?" I said sweetly.
"You're a smackhead, Haley. It's all over the tabloids. I have some good news though...I know a guy."
I smirked at the last four words. Those were the best four words I had ever heard in my life. I knew what those words meant.
"Really?" I said smiling.
"That's convenient. Why would you help me though? Do you want money?"
"I want a chance to be someone." he said simply.
I raised an eyebrow not sure what that meant.
"Here's my number. Call me when you need some."
I nodded and watched as he programed his number into my phone.
"I don't know where Peyton is." I slurred upon seeing Lucas.
I collapsed clumsily onto the couch beside him. Lucas looked at me and smiled.
"Wow. You're trashed."
"Thanks. I kinda wanna go before I do something stupid though. So do you know where Peyton is?" I said squinting at him.
Lucas shook his head. "No. Sorry."
"Shit." I muttered leaning my head against the couch pillows.
"You don't look so good." he said quietly.
"Well drinking a bottle of Vodka will do that to you." I said flipping out my phone. It took my awhile to read the screen.
"It's 2 am."
"Is Larry home?"
"I don't know." I said shaking my head.
"I've never had to worry about parents before. Shit. I don't care anymore. I think I'll just sleep here on the couch and figure everything out tomorrow." I said closing my eyes.
I was so tired.
"Haley don't go to sleep here." Lucas said shaking me.
It was no use though. I was so tired and the couch was so comfortable. Suddenly I was in the air and someone was carrying me.
"What?" I slurred trying to open my eyes.
"Don't worry. You'll be fine." Whoever was caring me said.
I smiled lazily not caring.
(A/n: Nathan will make an appearence a lot in the next chapter! no worries!)
