"Nathan do not walk into that party yet," said Larry over the phone.
"Why?" I asked annoyed. I was already running an hour late and didn't want to make a scene when I walked in.
"I have a surprise for you. Give it two minuets and it'll be there for you. Plus you're the one everyone's been waiting to see." After two minuets went by a black limo pulled up next to where I was standing and who gets out, none other than Kylie Bryan.
"Larry you're about to get fired and sued. I can't believe you did this to me." Kylie was a sweet girl and we went out a few times, but we weren't together. She kissed my cheek and I returned the favor.
"Nathan, this will be great for both of you." He said and I hung up without hearing another word.
"Kylie, look I'm sure it was a long flight and everything, but you can't come with me." I tried to say it gently but couldn't find the words. She laughed.
"Larry said that you'd say that, because you nervous about seeing your old friends, but that I need to come with you. Plus he said that Brooke Davis was going to be here. I love her line," She said and then grabbed my hand and pulled me into the party. I headed straight for the bar and scanned the room, no sign of Haley or Brooke. I saw Rachel, Tim, Bevin, Skillz, Mouth, and I forgot his wife's name. Lucas was nowhere to be found and neither were the girls. Good I have time to ditch Kylie. We both got drinks and I smiled at her.
"Ya know, there is no one here I care to see, lets get out of here."
"No, are you crazy? Tonight is your night and I'm gonna be here for you." She smiled for a camera and then told me that she was heading for the ladies room. Once she left my side, Rachel appeared.
"Hey Nathan. I thought the rumors about her were a lie, Haley's gonna flip."
"Mind your own business," I told her and finished my third drink.
"Well at least once you get wasted, when she kicks you in the balls you won't feel it." Rachel smiled and walked away. She was right, Haley was going to kick me in the balls and never forgive me. Hell why should she, I haven't even forgiven myself.
Change Scene"How much has she had to drink?" Lucas said pointing at me and smiling. I was in a short black dress laughing uncontrollably.
"Well if you count what she had at home, I'd say 3 bottles of wine."
"No Brookie, you drank with me at home." I said pointing my finger at her. She and Lucas laughed.
"No Haley, I haven't had a drink. I was drinking grape juice."
"Well wine is just grapes, so I was just drinking grape juice too." The both looked at me funny, and I began to pout. "I'm just trying to have a good time."
"I'm sure you will." Lucas said. We pulled up to the hotel that the reunion was being held in and I took a deep breath and walked through the door next to my two best friends. I scanned the room quickly spotting my group of friends, and Nathan nowhere to be seen. Boy was I wrong. Lucas got both Brooke and I drinks from the bar, and then the program started.
"Hey class of 2007! How are we doing tonight?" Mouth stood up and tried to get everyone to cheer. "Ok, well I'd like to welcome everyone to the Tree Hill High School Reunion." I scanned the room again and noticed a tall blonde beauty, but couldn't get a good look at her, but knew exactly who it was when I saw the guy she was with. Nathan had some nerve bringing her. How could he?
He slowly walked our way; I expected this but not so soon. "Hey everyone, this is my friend Kylie Bryan, Kylie this is everyone." She was holing his hand and smiling at everyone. I continued to glare at the bitch.
"Oh, your Haley James, from All My Children." She exclaimed, I glared.
"Yea." I snarled at her.
"I love your character."
"And yours sucks."
"What?" She asked confused.
"Your deaf too, damn Nate you know how to pick'em. Deaf and slutty."
"I'm sorry, do you have a problem with me?" I asked offended, Brooke tried to pull me away, but I refused.
"Yea, and with the jack ass your with!" I screamed, but at this point all eyes were already on us and I didn't care.
"Haley…" Nathan said. I slapped him before he could finish.
"What the hell's your problem?" Kylie said looking after Nathan. Before I could stop myself my fist hit her square in the nose.
"That's what you get for being with the guy who took my son from me." I screamed and then the tears came, and I ran out. Not before looking at Nathan and seeing the sadness in his eyes, which made me cry even harder.
Brooke followed me outside to sooth me. "Let's go home." She said, "This was a bad idea."
"Brooke, you stay. I can make it home by myself." I told her and hopped into the car, and told him to take me home.
