Wow, haven't updated in the longest time. Anyway this chapter isn't long, but I feel inspiration again. Again, I'm soo sorry this took so long. It's hard for me to write this story but whatever.

It was the weirdest thing. Watching them, get it on. Haley never thought these 2 would ever get along. God, she felt like an outsider again.
She was waiting for him to come along, and save her from this awkward situation. But it was over 15 minutes of when he was suposed to come, and she wondered if he'd ever come.
"Hales", Lucas began. "We'd like to go..."
"Fine, you go of with Brooke, Nate'll probably bring me home." She faked a smile.
"Thanks Haley", Brooke said, in the most cheerfull voice. This is exactly why she didn't think Brooke and Lucas would get along. Lucas is more of a thinker. He thinks about things way to much and when he's done thinking about it, it's always too late to do it. Brooke was the exact oposite. She never thought, she just did, and that got her in trouble most of the time.
"I wish he'd come soon" she whispered as Brooke and Lucas left together, giggling.
But a half hour later she still stood there. Everyone had left already. She was sure he wasn't going to show up anymore now. She left the building slowly, starting her half hour long walk home, sighing and silently called names in her head.

She was struggeling with the keys, furiously. She hated these kinds of days, when she couldn't wait to get home just to get to her room. She should be happy to go home right? But before she got the right key the door opened. There were her parents, with empty shopping bags in their hands.
"Hey hun, we're going shopping. Want me to get something for you?" Her mother desperatly attempted to make the face Haley had now into a smilie face. Haley knew that, so she smiled.
"No thank you", she said, they changed sides, Haley inside and parents outside. "Have fun shopping"
She threw the door closed. All she wanted was to go upstairs, but something inside of her stopped. It was her stomach, she was hungry. She went to the kitchen, grabbed a bag of cheetos, and when she reached over to get a glass and saw her dad's cigarettes. Her dad didn't smoke alot, because he liked the inside warmth too much he'd always say and her mom always said that he needed to smoke outside, but when he worked he did it all the time.
Dad wouldn't notice if I took one of his packs, right? She thought. She always liked the smell of the some and her dad always said it calmed him down. And she needed something to calm her down.
It's crazy, she thought than and grabbed a glass, and filled it with cola.
Maybe it's not so crazy. And when she went upstairs with her cola and crisps she took one pack.
She drank and she ate first than climbed out her window and stood on the roof. She has seen this done in movies, and the roof was always her favorite place to be alone. It looked out over their rather small garden, and the house behind that where the Simmons lived.
She took the beautifull lighter that she got from her brother once, with ducks on it, and she used it for the first time for something usefull. The first drag was gross, she felt the urge to cough but she pressed it back. Uch, how could her dad like it, she thought as she sat down on the cold roof.
Yet she took another drag. This one was better. The next one was even better, and so on. It did calm her down, she thought. When she was finished she heard her parents come home, and climbed back into her room, went back downstairs to help her parents unloading the groseries.
