This is kinda aNaley chapter, it's just introducing their part in the story.....
After a few hours of catching up, everyone settled down in the living room. Except Brooke and Haley who were sat outside in the dark, Brooke holding a glass of wine
and Haley with pepsi. Brooke laughed, 'So tell me Hales, why aren't you drinking again?'. Haley placed her soda can on the floor and laughed, 'My last hangover
was the worst one I've ever had, and i can't remember a thing from that night. So I'm staying sober tonight'. Brooke played with her hair and smiled at Haley,
'I'm glad you're here, this weekend would have been so hard If i was here alone'. She nodded, 'I'm really sorry about Lucas going out with that Lindsay girl, it must have
been hard finding out that way'. Brooke sighed, 'Yeah I kinda know why you were so upset about Nathan now'. Haley laughed, 'You see, hurts doesn't it?'.
She nodded and looked at him laughing with Lindsay and Nathan on the couch. Haley leaned forward and pulled her into a cosy hug, 'Listen your my baby sister
and I want what's best for you, if you love Lucas tell him, if not we dont need to be having this conversation'. Brooke closed her eyes and slowly nodded to herself.
'Okay', she whispered as she came face to face with Haley. 'It's hard being apart from the person you care about'. pulling her straying fringe from her eyes.
Haley laughed, 'tell me about it'. Rachel skipped in and Interrupted their conversation , 'Hey guys, this house is awesome. There are like 5 bathrooms and an elevator'.
Brooke and Haley laughed as Rachel sat across from them. 'So what's the latest and greatest?'. Brooke smiled at her . 'Well Haley's still into Nathan and Lindsay is a lesbian'.
Rachel's eyes widened, 'What!, she is?'. Haley nodded, 'Oh yeah, Isn't it obvious?. Look at her butch arms and her masculine voice'. Rachel watched her in the living room.
'then why is she dating Lucas?'. Brooke shrugged her shoulders, 'duh Rach, it's a cover up. It's so people believe she's straight'. Haley smiled sarcastically, 'it's true, Lucas
told me he has suspisions, because she really can't fake an orgasm, she tries but she just can't do it'. 'Oh my god', Rachel practically yelled as Haley and Brooke laughed
discretely behind her back.
Peyton stood watching Nathan practically pour drinks down his throat, she walked over and pulled the vodka bottle from him. 'you've had enough', she belted
looking angrily at him, he laughed as she walked away. 'You need to relax, god you're such a buzz kill', he laughed as she shook her head and grabbed her coat.
'I'm going out', she said walking towards the door. 'where?', he questionned trying to keep his balance. 'I'm going to my parents' house tonight, I'll see you in
the morning Nathan'. He rolled his eyes as she picked up Jamie-Lynne and walked out. Lucas sat on the sofa looking out at Brooke laughing with the girls in the garden.
He smiled as he looked at how beautiful she was. Haley stood up and walked into the kitchen, she opened the fridge and pulled out another drink,
she turned around to see Nathan smiling at her. 'Hey', he smiled forcing her into a hug. 'Hi', she laughed stroking his back. He pulled away and stood close to her face,
'You look amazing Haley, it's like wow, you know?'. She laughed, 'Thanks, are you okay Nathan?'. He laughed and pointed to her, 'I'm great, absolutely great'.
She nodded, 'Right, you've had a little too much to drink'. 'No, no I haven't. I'm okay', he tried to convince her. 'No you're not, you're very drunk'.
He put his arm around her as she clinged to his waist, 'now we're gonna get you in bed, and you can go to sleep'. She said, as she supported him up the stairs.
'Okay, sweetie which room's yours?', she asked looking around the large hallway. He nodded, 'All these rooms are mine'.
She sighed, 'Okay', pushing open the nearest bedroom door. He collapsed on the bed smling at her, 'You're the one you know that Haley?'.
She looked down at him, 'What?'. He pulled himself up and looked helplessly into her eyes , 'You. you're it. You're the one'. She shook her head, 'Yeah seems like it'.
Pulling over his bed sheet, he latched onto her arm and pulled her closer. 'you are', he whispered slowly placing his lips onto hers. She held onto the kiss for a few seconds,
and then pulled herself back up, 'Stop it', she said backing away. He stood up and grabbed her hand pulling her closer, 'I missed you', He whispered touching her face.
She gave him a small smile and then pulled his hand from her face, 'Nathan we can't do this, you're married'. He shook his head and collapsed back on the bed.
'Yeah, married', he repeated throwing a pillow over his face. 'Goodnight Nathan', she said closing the bedroom door. She sighed and leaned against it, Brooke walked
over and stood next to her. 'Hey, where have you been?'. Haley looked at her and smiled, 'Putting Nathan to bed, he's completely out of it'. Brooke laughed, 'Seems like
we're back in high school again'. Haley smiled at they walked back downstairs, 'Yeah it does'.
They grabbed their jackets and opened the front door, 'Rach, we're going out for a while', Brooke shouted half way out the door. They walked down the street
linking arms, 'Nathan was totally drunk, huh?'. Brooke laughed. 'Yeah totally, he started saying all this stuff to me'. Brooke smiled, 'What stuff?'.
'Things like, you're the one. You always have been and then he kissed me'. Brooke stopped walking and turned to her, 'and he did what?'. She nodded,
'Yeah, I pushed him off obviously. He's married'. Brooke nodded, 'oh my god, he loves you still'. Haley shook her head, 'No, Brooke he was drunk, he didn't mean it'.
'I think he did, just because he was drunk that doesn't mean he was lying', she nodded and they carried on walking.
