I'm sorry. School is overwhelming and I have a lot of stuff to deal with. I promise I'm going to start posting more often. Thanks for the reviews (;
Brooke's hardened eyes dropped as she wiped away a tear forming in her eye. Brooke Davis was the sex queen, popular girl in school, major flirt, known to never have been in a relationship for more than a month or two, but what Haley spoke about she could completely understand. She stood up, slipping on her uggs and grabbing Haley's hand firmly.
"Come with me Hales."
She smiled sweetly and pulled the worried Haley James out the door and out into the huge roaming yard. Brooke looked around at the beautiful scenery and the magestic night sky. The stars were shining brighter than they ever have before, and in the wilderness they seemed to leave a trace of happiness in Brooke's heart. She scrambled through the trees in her path until she came to a trail of rocks leading out into the huge lake.
"Roll up your pants." Brooke instructed Haley as she did so herself.
"Ummm, why?" Haley raised her left eyebrow as she watched Brooke quickly roll up her designer jeans.
"Ummm because we don't want to get them wet if we misplace a foot! Oh and leave your cell phone here." She stood up straight and placed her hands on her hips.
"Again... why?"
"Gez Tutor girl, I thought you were the smart one. Because if you happen to fall in, which you might since you're such a clutz, then you might want to at least save your cellular device from living a very short life."
She had a smug look on her face as she held out her palm. Haley sighed and handed Brooke her Chocolate and rolled up her american eagle jeans.
"Sorry to be rude but I came to get your advice, not rock climb." Haley walked up to Brooke so that she was shoulder to shoulder with her.
"Yeah I know! Do you want my help or not?" She was getting impatient as she began to climb on the rocks leading out into the lake.
"Yes I need your help." Haley moaned as she trailed Brooke.
Within about five minutes, the two girls were sitting on a huge rock in the middle of the lake. The moonlight was shining on them perfectly, applying the much needed light. Brooke shook her head from side to side and placed her hand on Haley's.
"I've come here about a thousand times."
Haley looked over at Brooke, awaiting her explanation.
"Do you want to know why I come here Hales?" Brooke swept her hand across the peaceful lake and placed her hand to her cheek, the cool water ran down to her chin.
"Well maybe this sounds like my weekday afternoon soaps, but I come here here because I feel deep down inside me, whether it's the feeling in my gut or the choice of my heart, that this is the only place I can come where nothing can hurt me. The real world? The thought of it scares me. I don't know if I just can't face it yet, or if I'm just too scared to try. I'm not ready for the challenges of life yet, I'm not even ready for our upcoming cheer competition or our final exams. Hell I don't even have a prom dress. When I come out here I get to forget about all the drama, the problems, and absolutely nothing can effect me. When I come out here I come to find what's important in life, what I want and what I think I want, and I come to a solution for everything. Haley, the whole point of this is that you have to stop every once in a while and think about what you want and what's important. The most difficult thing in this world is love. If Nathan found a place in your heart, well Hales then he's meant to be there. Don't tell yourself that it's too cliche, because it isn't and never will. True love exists out there, you just need to let your guard down every once in a while or else you may never find it. That person who can rip those walls down that you build around your heart is someone worth your love. Ask yourself what's the most important to you and if Nathan trumps above all of those things then you didn't make a mistake Tutor Girl."
Never in her life had Haley heard Brooke make any more sense. She knew what she was talking about. Brooke knew all about true love, all about the risks, the heartache, the passion, the greatness of it. She knew it all and Haley never knew. Never had Haley taken such meaningful words in like this.
"Brooke, you're right." Haley looked up from the flowing lake and into Brooke's eyes.
Brooke smiled and hugged Haley.
"You know what you want Haley James, you just need to figure out what things come first."
"You're a great friend cheery, thanks for the help." Haley smiled at her and leaned back on her hands.
"No problem, now I think I need to leave you to think for a while."
Brooke patted Haley on the back and pranced off, skipping from one rock to the other. Her tiny silhouette became smaller and smaller in the moonlight an eventually disappeared. Haley shook out her hair and laid her petite body down on the cool rock. This was going to be something Haley would think about for the next three hours. By the time the sun was setting, she stood up and sleepily walkled back to the cabin and curled herself into a ball on her bed.
"God Peyton!" Brooke stomped over to Peyton's side, thrusting her one arm up in the air.
"There is a huge difference between a high V and a low V!" Brooke rolled her eyes and hit the play button on her I- Home once again.
The three cheerleaders had been up since nine that morning for a surprise cheer practice. Peyton's hair was slowly but surely falling out of her high bun. and Haley's make-up from the night before was smudged around her face. The stereo boomed loudly, a remix of "Cum on feel the noize" was starting yet again. After two and a half minutes of stunts, spirit fingers, high and low V's, a few flips and cartwheels and one lift, the girls collapsed to the ground.
"That was good I guess, but it could be better." Brooke hit pause and threw her hands on her hips.
"If we want to win we need to perfect this little darlings." Brooke pointed her finger at Peyton, then Haley.
"That means you P. Sawyer and Tutor Girl."
Haley blew a stray piece of hair out of her eyes. "Brooke I appreciate your devotion but we don't even have half the team, and plus we're a bit tired after three hours of cheer."
"Well it wouldn't be three hours long if you could try to be just a little seductive Miss James! I mean the lyrics clearly say 'Girls rock your boys!' That doesn't mean act all innocent. Be sexy!" Brooke added a duh! look and sat down as well.
"Chill Brooke, she's trying." Peyton let her face collapse into her hands.
"Well you can't get your V's right so ha!" Brooke crossed her arms across her chest.
Haley scratched her wrist and spoke up. " I guess that is true."
Peyton made a disgusted look at Hales. "Oh well that was a nice thank you!"
"Just saying." Haley returned the look.
"You can't be sexy and you suck at V's!" Brooke shouted.
"Yeah well you're a sucky captain!" With that response, Haley reached up to Brooke's face and smudged her neatly painted "R" for the team's mascot the Raven.
"You did not just do that tutor girl!" Brooke stood up and stuck her nose closer to Haley's face.
"I believe I did!" Haley pushed Brooke causing her to stumble back a bit.
"We are about five seconds away from a crazy dance-off!" Peyton added, sticking her body in between the two bitter cheerleaders.
Haley and Brooke both exchanged looks before breaking into laughter.
"Can you believe us? We sounded like Bevin and Teresa when they both decide to wear the same exact skirt." Brooke chuckled and threw her small frame on Haley's lap.
"I know! That was a first." Haley slapped the ground and let out her last laughs.
"Hey girl's wanna shake it up a bit for me?" Lucas smiled at Mouth's statement.
Nathan, Mouth, and Lucas were walking back up to the cabin after a long two hour scrimage to one-hundred points. The boys may have been quite sweaty, but to Haley Nathan looked hotter than ever.
"Only in your dreams Marvin." Brooke walked up to Mouth, running her hands across his chest and skipping off inside.
"You're right! Only in my dreams." Mouth smiled and followed Brooke inside, Lucas trailing just behind.
"I have to go check out a club around here, i'll be back." Peyton high-fived Nathan and got into her car.
Nathan smiled, realizing he and Haley were finally alone for the first time today. He walked up to her, slipping his hands around her waist and looking down into her chocolate brown eyes.
"You think you could maybe do a little cheer for me tonight before bed? Maybe in those short shorts." He smiled, directing his eyes at her soffe shorts.
"I don't think so hot shot." She released herself from his grip and headed into the cabin.
"Wait! I have to tell you something!" He raced after her, making sure she stopped before entering the cabin.
"What Nate?"
"You got a hot butt James." He smiled and slapped her butt, running into the cabin before she could react at all.
"Uhhh! Wha... wow!" She sighed and followed him into the large house.
"Haley are you in there?" Brooke tapped impatiently on Haley's bedroom door.
"Yeah, come in." Haley threw her seventeen magazine to the floor and looked up at Brooke.
"Were you busy? I'm sorry if I interrupted something." Brooke looked around the room and under the bed for a sign of Nathan in his briefs.
"He's out with Luke."
"Right." Brooke smiled and pranced over to Haley's bed.
"So I needed to ask you something about last..." Brooke was suddenly interrupted with a hard fall.
"Ouch! Hales everyone knows you can't leave magazines just laying on the floor!"
She rubbed her butt and picked the magazine up. The page it was opened to had a title that read "Are you ready to further your intimate relationship with your guy?" Brooke looked up mysteriously at Haley, raising an eyebrow and motioning to the article with her left hand.
"Stop getting ideas, Rachel was reading it!" Haley rolled her eyes and laid back o na huge pillow.
"Right then, okay so about last night. . ." Brooke joined Haley on the bed and sat indian style, full attention on her close friend.
"Yes?"
"Did you think everything over out there?" Brooke was seriously getting impatient.
"Yeah, I did."
"And...!" Brooke grasped her thin legs with both hands and rocked back and forth.
"I think I figured everything out, I think I know how I feel."
