Last Chapter

Nathan started "Haley we're only looking out for you. We care about you, that's all, but you know what. That Andrew guy seems like a nice guy. If you stick around him, we won't get in your way" she sighed in relief. She really liked that guy even if she has just met him. "Promise?" she asked, the brothers glanced at each other, nodded and them Lucas said "We don't want you to be hurt. If nate trusts this guy I do too. But if you have some trouble and need help, just do our help me sign OK?" She nodded and they went back to the party.

This chapter

Haley got back to the party saw Drew still talking to his sister and made her way back to them. "Sorry. I just had to talk a little with my best friends." Nathan reproached the group holding Sarah from behind. He said to the confused siblings "Haley, Lucas and I are best friends since we remember living" He looked Drew with a 'If you hurt her, I'll kick your butt' look. Sarah and Drew just let out a brief "ahhhh" meaning they get it.

"So, Haley, I guess I'll be seeing you more from now on" Sarah said winking at her.

"Yeah. I think so." And smiled.

Man, that smile. I can't resist. I gotta do something. Drew thought. "Haley, wanna go outside?" she nodded and they left the house.

"So Haley tell me, how did you ended up best friends with the Scott brothers? I mean, you are different from them" Drew really had to know everything about her.

"Well, my mom and Nathan's were friends since high school. My dad and their father are childhood friends. So I guess it made sense if we continue the bond." Drew nodded "But I was raised to be an academic success, and so was Lucas, but nate's athletic dreams came in his way, this is how they ended up being the Scott brothers and I their geek and weird friend." Smiling at her joke, drew only could manage "I guess you better off." She nodded "what about you? You don't play basketball" He made a 'how do you know that' look "I've been to every game since Nathan started playing back in middle school." All he could say was a "ah. I play chess." She laughed. "ok. You got me. I swim. I'm in the swim team." They started walking down to the beach. When they found a clear spot they set down. "Man, I do miss Malibu." She looked in his eyes and knew he meant it. "what do you miss the most? Your girlfriend?" she was getting nervous by the minute and needed to know if he was on the market.

"No. I didn't have a girlfriend back there. Just really cool friends. But I miss living in the beach, hanging out after school. I didn't make friends here yet." He was staring at the sea. "Now you have one. You can count on me to hang out after school." She said smiling. He reached her cheek "I was hoping we could be more than that". They were now facing each other, staring each other, waiting for the next move to happen. Slowly they leaned in together and closing the distance they sealed a kiss that grew deeper.

From the side of the house Sarah and Nathan saw it all.

"Aw Nathan look at that! They're together!" A very excited Sarah was pointing the couple on the sand.

"Yep. I can see that. Hope he treats her right." He kissed his girlfriend and turned around to go back inside when they saw Brooke and Peyton approaching them "Nate, is that tutor girl I see with that hot guy on the sand?" he nodded. "wow! Haley got a big, big hot fish!" Peyton said enthusiastically. The night went on and the party was on fire. Brooke and Peyton helped the girls from the squad that got wasted and took them home. When they fnally made their way back to Vegas' house it was 3 a.m. Haley was sitting on the sofa waiting for Drew come back from the bathroom. Seeing her friends she waved and the girls made their way over her.

"Hales you got a babe!" teased Peyton bursting out laughing!

"So tutor girl… who's he? And, let me tell ya, what a catch my friend!" Brooke said tapping haley on the shoulder.

"His name's Andrew, he's Sarah's brother. And before you ask, yes, we're dating!" She knew her friends too well "now, go! He's coming back and I don't want to be embarrassed." The girls left and Haley looked at Andrew and smiled "Hi there, can I take you home? I'm tired." He smiled and pecked her on the cheek. "Sure. Let's go"

They made their way to Haley's house and said their goodbyes.

NEXT MORNING

Haley's P O V

Eleven o'clock already! Man, I gotta get up if I know my protective best friend he's about to have a heart attack because I didn't call him. She thought. Getting up she saw her phone vibrating.

"hey nate what's up?"

"Haley it's me, Drew." Dang! I should have looked at the Id before… "I wanted to know, how did you sleep?"

"good. Just woke up"

"Want to do something later?"

"sure. I'll call you later ok?"

"ok. Bye"

I made my way to the bathroom. I had the feeling I had some other thing to do later, but what? I mean, I was not a very social person per say. After I finished my shower. I went downstairs. I was alone. Again. I ate breakfast in brunch kinda way. And after that watched some TV. I was washing the dishes when the phone rang.

"Hello?"

"Hales. Do you remember that today we're supposed to go out with our parents to dinner"

"I thought it was next Wednesday."

"it was, but they changed. Your dad is going to travel on Tuesday. And why am I the one to tell your father's whereabouts, I mean… you're his daughter, you're supposed to know this stuff an-" I had to stop him, he gets funny when he's rambling but I had to hold the laughter

"Nate, you're rambling. I got it." This is when I see the note on the counter and I get closer to read Haley-bop, tonight at seven we're having dinner with the Scott's and Karen. Be ready by 6. Love, mom and dad.

"It's ok. But you're calling me to remember me this?"

"Yeah! And I did good! Actually your mom stopped by and asked me to do it. Now I gotta go I'm going to Sarah's house since we're not going to go out tonight. See you later!"

"Yeah, see you later lover-boy!" Hanging up the phone I went to Brooke's. She was one of my neighbors.

"Tutor girl! I can't wait to hear from you all about your boy-toy, just let me call Peyton so she can come over and then you tell us everything." Brooke was cheery, her mood sometimes got to my nerves, I mean, how she could be cheery everyday! I mean every woman deserve some bittersweet days. Anywho Peyton came and I told them all about Andrew 'Drew' and how cute, and tender he is and how now I have a boyfriend. Which I really didn't expect that going to one single party I'd find someone, but I'm happy that happened.

"Haley, you're lucky! The guy is awesome!" Brooke said with enthusiasm

"Am I crazy or did she just used your first name?" Peyton joked.

"I guess we both went crazy because I heard that too." We started laughing. After some time I had to go home to get ready for dinner and to talk to Drew, and tell him about tonight.

"So girls, I gotta go, but next Friday, movie night and slumber party, my house!" they nodded. "I'll bring the music, you guys suck, when it comes to good soundtrack" Peyton was really into music so she was our official DJ. "And I'll bring the cosmetic stuff and the clothes, because just face it, you can't beat Brooke Davis in the beauty-fashion department"

"Ok. See you guys later!" I finally said going for the door. I head them screaming TTYL while making my way out.
