(Hey an update! It's amazing isn't it? Pairings for this story are Daley (Haley and Dean,), and Brooke/Sam (What's their pet name? Sooke? Srooke?). This chapter is mainly Daley, Brooke/Sam, Haley/Peyton friendship, implied Leyton, rehashing of the Naley story, and Deyton (Dean and Peyton,) friendship. Dean and Peyton are going to be good friends in this! I hope you like it! Oh how are you guys liking Quinn? Yuck. I loved her at first but now…NO! And how are you liking season 5 of Supernatural? I'm lovin' it! Reviews are love!)
"Good." Haley took a small sip out of her drink and smiled at the man beside her. "So, tell me what you've been up to. What supernatural badies have you killed?" Haley asked in a whisper after leaning over towards him.
Dean raised his eyebrows, surprised at the question. Haley kept confusing Dean. "Doesn't it scare you? The thought of everything you thought never existed really existing?"
"Oh it terrifies me. But I guess I've always believed in things that never really existed. Like finding your true love at seventeen and teenage marriage working." Haley shook herself out of her own little world she was in and realized what she just said. She blushed a bright red but decided to go on like she never revealed that intimate piece of information about herself. In reality Haley was still bitter about her marriage ending. "But that's besides the point. I was just wondering. It worries me to imagine Sam out fighting these…monsters." Haley shook her head again. It would kill her if anything happened to Sam. Back at Stanford he was liker her replacement Lucas. Except for she, once upon a time, had a small amount of romantic feelings for Sam.
Dean once again found himself feeling jealousy towards his brother dealing with Haley James. But this time the jealousy feelings didn't really have anything to do with Haley. He was just jealous that Sam had someone, besides him, who worried about him. He didn't really have anyone. Bobby and Sam was all Dean had. So he thought.
"Well I'm sure he appreciates your thought but Sam's a damn good hunter and can take care of himself. You don't need to worry your pretty little head." Haley lowered her head.
"I can't help it. I worry about the people I care about. Whether its worrying about Sam risking his life everyday or about Peyton still loving Luke, I still worry. And you know…" Haley started but stopped.
"What?" Dean questioned curiously.
"I worry about you too." Dean's eyes widened and then he smiled. Completely stunning, Haley thought about Dean's actual smile.
"I'm a big boy. I don't need your concern." Dean chuckled.
"Well you have it." Haley smiled her angelic smile. "Your important to Sam and believe it or not but your important to me too. I may have only met you in passing years ago Dean, but you left an impression."
"Ok enough with the chick flick moment or I might have to leave you to go talk to that hot brunette over there," Dean lied nodding over to Brooke, not knowing who it was. Sure the brunette was hot but the former blonde in front of him was too captivating. He wouldn't leave her and he knew that. She didn't though. Her brilliant smile fell from her face.
"Her names Brooke, she's a friend of mine. If you want to go talk to her go ahead I would hate to stand in your way." Haley got up and grabbed her purse then walked away. She was green with jealousy and she hated that fact. In her mind she shouldn't have been. She barely knew Dean Winchester for god's sake! She walked over to Lucas and Lindsey not wanting to see Dean flirting with Brooke.
"Hey Luke! Hey Lindsey!" She greeted with a fake smile and looped her arm in Lucas's free arms. They both smiled at her.
"Hey Haley." Lindsey greeted friendly. She really did like Haley.
"Hey buddy. What's wrong?" Luke saw right through her fake happiness.
"Nothing." Haley answered quickly, shooting a look at Lindsey and Dean who was then talking to Sam animatedly.
"Hey how about I go get a drink?" Lindsey offered helpfully but at that moment Peyton and Haley locked eyes. Peyton then got up, completely forgotten by the fighting (because, Haley figured, they had to be fighting to be so into a conversation and to look that angry at one another,) brothers, and made a bee line for the bathroom. Despite how junior high-ish the situation seemed (crying/gossiping in the bathroom about a boy,) Haley knew she was supposed to follow.
"No, no, no, you stay I'll go." Lindsey stopped leaving and Haley started leaving.
"Hales?" Luke asked in a worried tone.
"I'm going to go relive high school or whatever and gossip with Peyton in the bathroom. I'll be fine and I'll tell you later." Haley leaned up and kissed Lucas's cheek not knowing that at that moment Dean was looking. He took that exchange the wrong way and thought maybe Haley had a blonde boyfriend but then he saw how he hugged and kissed the girl beside him and realized that Haley and the blonde must be just friends. By the time he figured that out Haley was already in the bathroom.
"Spill the beans Hales." Peyton demanded.
"I don't know what your talking about," Haley denied as she walked to the mirror and pretended to check her make up.
"Like hell you don't! What happened with Dean?" Peyton questioned softly.
"Nothing! He just was talking about leaving me to flirt with Brooke and I don't know I just got mad!" Peyton laughed at her friend.
"You like him!" She squealed.
"No I do not." Haley said with a straight face which was a surprise because she was lying through her teeth.
"Uh huh, so that's why your five shades of red?" Peyton asked, knowing she had Haley there.
"Am not!" Haley childishly protested while throwing her hands up and putting them on her face.
"Then why did you have to check your face?" Peyton had tricked her.
"Peyton!" Haley scolded while hitting the blonde in the arm.
"Don't kill the messenger." Peyton ordered while rubbing her arm.
"What if the messenger is getting on my last nerve?" Haley asked playfully while walking towards the door.
"You love me!" Peyton linked her arm with Haley's and they left the bathroom. They spotted Dean and Sam and Peyton dragged her in that direction.
"In theory I do but right now I don't feel anything resembling love towards you." Haley stated seriously and Peyton laughed. They got closer to the boys and saw them sitting with Brooke. Haley felt her blood run cold. "No, no, no, no, no…" Haley was going to keep going but Peyton stopped her.
"Ok I get it you don't want to go over there. And we don't have to." Peyton paused for a second and Haley let out a relieved sigh not knowing that Peyton was far from finished. "We can just go talk to Nathan instead. He just walked through the door." Haley started to freak out. She squealed and turned around quickly. She looked at the door and saw…some red headed chick. That's definitely not Nathan, Haley thought. When she heard Peyton's laugh she realized the blonde tricked her…again.
"Not funny!" Haley exclaimed after turning around and hitting her friend upside the head...
"It was though! You should have seen your expression, Hales!" Peyton stopped laughing when she saw the pain in Haley's eyes and she knew that Nathan should have been an untouchable subject. "Hales I'm so…"
"Don't bother." Haley snapped, storming away. She walked over to Dean, Sam, and Brooke who were all laughing happily. They looked up at her and she forced a smile onto her face. They all, excluding Dean, noticed it was forced. "Hey happy people what are we talking about?" She choked out.
"HALEY JAMES!" She heard being called from behind her and she shut her eyes tightly. It was Peyton. "I'm sorry! I…I wasn't thinking! Being stupid! Please just talk to me!" Peyton pleaded from behind Haley.
"It's fine Peyton. I'm fine. I forgive you. I'm just a…a little sensitive about that subject." Haley whispered while turning to hug her taller friend. She knew she over reacted and she was sorry for that.
Dean was dying with curiosity. Wondering why Haley stormed away from him, and then came back with fake smiles and real pain in her eyes. Turned out Dean really did know Haley was faking happy. He knew what it looked like. The whole faking happiness thing was a normal thing for him. Not that he would ever admit that. He worried too much about Sam, and despite not showing it, about his year being over soon. He would be in hell.
Peyton and Haley hugged, smiling slightly. Haley chuckled and wiped her eyes seeing her friends looking at her in concern.
"Sorry to be such a baby tonight. I don't know what's going on! I think I'm going to go home, curl up with a cup of hot chocolate, grade some papers, and then go to bed. But you mister…" She turned to Sam with a smile and poked his chest, giving him a playful glare. "Your going to call me when your not busy, while your still in town, and we're going to meet up." Sam laughed but then remembered the only reason he was in town was hunting. That and that Haley and his brother had some thing going on between them and he didn't want, who he still considered to be, his best friend put in the demons line of fire. Like she would be if they found out Dean Winchester was attached to someone. Sam could already tell Dean had a thing for Haley. He just didn't know whether it went farther then just getting in her pants.
"Haley…" Sam started to protest but then Haley whipped out her infamous pout and Sam was putty in her hands. He laughed. "I could never say no to that pout before and I still can't." Haley squealed happily and hugged him tight.
"Thank you thank you thank you!" Haley said happily.
"The subject your sensitive of is Nathan, isn't it?" Sam whispered into her ear.
"Yeah." Haley breathed.
"He never deserved you." Sam said out loud and seriously as he pulled back to look into her doe eyes.
Who never deserved her? Dean asked in his mind, completely confused.
"No, he deserved more." Haley said as she turned and walked away. "Bye people." She waved back at them.
"So fake Blondie what did you do to piss tutor girl off?" Brooke asked Peyton once Haley was out of site. Sam chuckled at the bubbly brunette while Dean just stared at her while eyebrows raised.
"Tutor girl?" Dean asked.
"Yeah tutor girl and shut up hottie I'll deal with you later." Brooke turned her attention back to Peyton. "So P. Sawyer spill the beans."
"I just…I don't know did a Nathan joke I guess." The blonde shrugged but was then hit by Brooke. "What?"
"You know Nathan jokes are off limits! I can't believe you would…" Brooke trailed off.
"Whose Nathan?" Dean questioned. Three pairs of eyes turned to look at him. Peyton's green eyes, Sam's brown eyes, and Brookes hazel eyes.
"Who are you again?" Brooke questioned.
"My brother." Sam answered with his lovable smile.
"And who are you cutie?" Brooke flirted and Peyton laughed.
"Easy tigger." Peyton put a hand on Brooke's arms. "Remember Haley's Stanford stories? Well this is the Sam Winchester." Brooke's eyes widened as she looked at Sam.
"Oh my god I feel like I just found out a bed time story is true!" Brooke gushed and Dean and Sam got worried. What if Haley told them about what they do for a profession?
"I hope what she told you was all good!" Sam laughed nervously.
"Not all. I'm sorry about your girlfriend! I mean an electrical fire! That's awful! I am so so sorry!" Sam could tell that Brooke was 100% sincere. He was really starting to like Brooke but the reminder of his only love had him going back into his broody mood.
"Yeah that sucks." Peyton mumbled, distracted by Lindsey and Lucas laughing and having fun. Dean raised his eyebrows at the curly blonde and laughed.
"Well yeah. Um…thanks." Sam stuttered not knowing what to say.
"You really loved her didn't you?" Brooke questioned Sam.
"Yeah, I really did." Sam answered and Brooke smiled sadly at him.
"Then you need a drink, and I'll join you because I could always use a drink." Sam and Brooke smiled at each other and faced the bartender. "What are you having cutie?" Brooke asked Sam.
"Bourbon." Sam told Brooke and the bartender.
"Then I'll also have bourbon." Brooke said happily. Then bartender nodded and went to fix the two drinks.
"Have you ever had bourbon?" Sam teased.
"Honey I've had everything." Brooke flirted some more. The bartender placed the two drinks in front of the duo. Brooke picked up her drink and drank half of it and then smiled at Sam.
"You know," Sam started while playing with his drink. "I think I'm really going to like Tree Hill." He picked up his drink and did the same as Brooke. She smiled in victory.
"So what did the blonde guy break up with you or something?" Dean asked Peyton since she was still staring at the couple Dean saw Haley talking to earlier.
"Kind of but not really." Peyton asked distracted. "See the girl he's with?"
"Yeah she's pretty." Dean answered while looking at the girl the blonde guy was with.
"Yeah she is and the likely hood is that she doesn't have half the amount of issues that I do. I don't stand a chance." Peyton mumbled sadly.
"Hey don't talk like that. You're interesting and I'm sure she's not. I'm sure the guy could forget about your issues."
"You're not good in situations like this are you?" Peyton laughed.
"No I hate chick flick moments."
"Haley always falls for the same type of guy doesn't she?" Peyton asked Dean.
"What are you talking about?" Dean was then curious.
"Nathan the guy we were talking about earlier is her ex-husband and he reminds me of you, in ways. But you two are very different in other ways, from what I've seen at least,"
"Tell me about Nathan,"
"What do you wanna know?" Peyton turned her full attention to Dean.
"Haley is only twenty something right?"
"Yup,"
"Then how is she already divorced? Was it like a shot gun wedding? Vegas style I hope," Dean smirked and Peyton giggled. Lucas saw Peyton and Dean talking and started focusing on them instead of Lindsey.
"Um, she got married junior year of high school…" Peyton started to recite the familiar story but Dean interrupted her.
"Wait, WHAT?!"
"She got married to Nathan Scott her junior year of high school," Peyton stated calmly.
"Wow,"
"Yeah," Peyton sighed dreamily. "They were the couple that made us all believe in true love,"
"Yet they divoriced,"
"Yeah," Peyton said again but this time bitterly.
"What happened?" Dean pressed gently but inside he was dying with curiosity. Who in their right mind would give up Haley James?
"Haley went on tour…"
"Tour as in tour? As in the girl has musical talent?"
"She's an amazing singer,"
"I think she's an amazing everything,"
"She is," Peyton confirmed. "When she went on tour Nathan took it hard and when she came back for him he couldn't forgive her, at first. Then, he did. Everything was great and they got remarried. They faced a lot of hardships but then Haley got pregnant. Nathan's dad told him to focus on his dream but Nathan did the right thing, he didn't abandon Haley and their child. Oh, this was senior year by the way,"
"That's helpful," Dean was engrossed by the story.
"Yeah, um, where was I? Oh yeah! So, they needed money so Haley took back up waitressing but Nathan went to a loan shark. He couldn't get the money back to the guy. So the guy tells Nathan to shave points, basketball. He does but the next time he finds he can't. So the guy goes to run over Nathan…"
"What is this, a soap opera?"
"High school in Tree Hill," Peyton corrected.
"Damn," Dean cursed. And he thought his life was messed up! Peyton nodded her head in confirmation.
"So the guy goes to run over Nathan but Haley pushes him out of the way, getting hit by the car. They saved Haley but couldn't save their baby,"
"Poor Haley,"
"Yeah, Nathan told Haley his part in everything and she felt she needed time to herself. I mean she lost a part of her when she lost the baby. She decided to go to her dream school, Stanford, instead of Duke. Nathan sent the divorce papers right after she told him the news,"
"What an ass!"
"You're telling me!" Just then a drunk Brooke and a tipsy Sam came up to them.
"I'm going to have my way with your brother. See you later, hottie!" Brooke told Dean.
"I'll see you tomorrow, man," Sam chuckled. The pair started walking away.
"Good you need laid man!" Dean laughed at his brother.
"So, Dean Winchester, tell me your story," Peyton requested and Dean told her the condensed fake story. Involving a dead mom, depressed dad, road trips, an abandoning brother, and a beautiful captivating blonde (Haley,). Peyton, in return, told him the full bleeding heart version of her story. That was a start of a beautiful friendship between a broken hearted girl and a man with a doomed pats and future.
(Happy late thanksgiving! Review please!)
