Song: First Time by Lifehouse

Quote: "Life is too short to wake up in the morning with regrets, so love the people who treat you right, forget about the ones who don't, and believe that everything happens for a reason. If you get a chance, take it. If it changes your life, let it. Nobody said life would be easy, they just promised it would be worth it.

-Harvey Mackay


The next morning Haley woke up with a pair of strong arms encircling her waist and a smile on her face, until it was wiped off when she remembered the talk they would soon be having.

Nathan felt someone stir in his arms and started to panic until he inhaled the vanilla as well as strawberries and tightened his old on her body, as the night before flashed through his head. Dinner with Whitey, making out, about to have sex, until Haley mumbled the name Josh, going to Lucas' punching a hole in the wall, and then going to Tric. It got a little blurry after that, but he remembered Skills. He must have called Haley he thought to himself.

"Hi," Haley said shyly turning over.

"Hey," he replied running his hands over his face and wiping the sleep away.

"We…umm… we need to talk," Haley told him biting the inside of her cheek nervously.

"Yea," He agreed getting out of bed and walking downstairs to get a cup of water and some aspirin to stop the pounding in his head. Haley pursed her lips before grudgingly following after him.

Walking into the kitchen he reached into the cupboard and grabbed a couple aspirin before reaching in another one and grabbing a glass to pour water in.

When Haley got to the kitchen she stared at Nathan standing in front of the sink looking out the window.

"I want to explain about last night," She told him wringing her hands together nervously, before fiddling with the gold band on her right pinkie. A sure tell way to convey she was uneasy.

"Its fine," Nathan dismissed harshly not bothering to turn around.

"No its not," Haley said exasperated walking up to him and putting a hand on his shoulder, which he immediately brushed off.

"No okay Josh was my ex. The one I told you about before. I told you about him after you kissed me and I ran away." She tried reminding him. "The one who was my best friend and died right when he was going to propose to me…anyways he's the only guy I've ever been with and I was so scared that I wasn't going to be good enough that I imagined I saw Josh standing at the door. It wasn't you it was me and my messed up mind and I'm so sorry, but I'm just scared" Haley rambled as Nathan stared out the window in deep thoughts.

Now that she said reminded him Josh was her ex from before, he vaguely remembered her mentioning him. Still it hurt she mumbled another guys name. "I don't want to push you," He told her turning around and looking at her.

Haley looked at him adoringly. "You aren't," She told him gently.

"I feel like I am and I don't want to push you or make you do something you're going to regret." He told her seriously.

"I wouldn't of regretted it," She told him smiling as she walked up to him and put her arms around his neck. "But next time you get mad please don't just leave. I want you to be able to talk to me," She told him honestly.

"I'll try," Nathan said earnestly.

"So we're ok?" Haley asked nervously.

"Yea, we're okay. So Haley James will you go to the Halloween party with me?" Nathan asked with a smile wrapping his arm around her waist.

Haley contemplated thinking about it before smiling. "I'd love to, but I'm already going with Brooke and Peyton so I'll meet you there," She told him kissing him fervently, glad that they were okay.

"You know the devil doesn't have sequins or feathers or breasts for that matter," Haley said pointing at Brooke's costume.

"Well mine does and I'll look hot," Brooke said confidently waving her costume around on the hanger with a dimpled smile.

"You know the devil doesn't have feathers right?" Peyton asked raising an eyebrow and walking into the guest bedroom at Haley's place.

"What is with you people so she's a feathery devil!" Brooke said exasperated as Haley and Peyton shared a look before chuckling.

"So Peyt how did your costume come along?" Brooke asked curiously trying to close the door, so she could see the costume on the back that Peyton had insisted she would make.

"I guess you'll see in a little bit," Peyton said opening the door so Brooke wouldn't see what the costume looked like hanging on the back. "Although I have to be honest I'm glad we got a say in our costumes," Peyton added thinking of Brooke choosing Lucas, Nathan and Skills costumes without their say.

"Speak for yourself," Haley said crossing her arms and looking pointedly at Brooke.

"Hales you're so innocent looking you make the best angel," Brooke told her with a dimpled smile. "Now lets get ready to knock these guys socks off." Brooke clapped excitedly running to the bathroom. "I call the guest room shower," Brooke yelled behind her.

"So what's going on with you and Lucas or is it you and Skills?" Haley asked curiously with a smirk.

"Nothing…with either of them. I just…I dunno anymore," Peyton said running a hand through her curly locks perturbed. "What about you and Nathan? Get everything sorted out?" Peyton asked trying to slyly change subjects.

"Subtle really," Haley said rolling her eyes and shaking her head with a smile. "We talked and I think things will be ok. I hope they will be at least."

"Yea I hope so too. You deserve to be happy," Peyton said with a smile.

"So do you," Haley told her wrapping an arm around the curly blonde. She didn't know what happened with Jake that made Peyton fear a relationship so bad. As far as she knew their breakup was amiable.

"Hey you two weren't supposed to be having a moment you're suppose to be getting ready!" Brooke said walking into the room with a blue fluffy robe wrapped around her.

"Yea yea," Peyton said rolling her eyes before walking out the door and into the adjoining guest bathroom as Haley made her way to her master bathroom.

Brooke started drying her hair and turned on the music. Just as she was about to close the door she heard her name being called. "Brooke Penelope, don't you dare look at my costume," Peyton yelled as Brooke rolled her eyes before closing the door. When she closed the door her mouth dropped at the sight in front of her. This is what she's wearing? I thought she was going to make it! Brooke asked herself staring at the half angel half devil costume in front of her, before stomping her foot and going to start drying her hair. I actually let her choose what she was going to be and that's what she chose! I could've done a better job picking out her costume! She huffed out annoyed.

Peyton smirked when she heard Brooke stomp her foot and chuckled before stepping into the steaming, hot, shower.

After Haley and Peyton got out of the shower and made their way back to the guest room they saw Brooke straightening her hair and singing along to the radio.

"Okay so tutor girl we are going to curl your hair since mine is going to be straight, and since curly is the opposite of straight and devil is the opposite of angel I guess we should curl your hair, and Peyton I guess yours is going to be half straight-half curly because of your costume," Brooke told the duo rolling her eyes at Peyton.

"Brookie did you look at my costume?" Peyton asked biting the inside of her cheek from smiling.

"Yea you left it here where I could see it so of course," Brooke said like Peyton should of known better.

"Actually I'll be wearing a wig, so I just need to tuck my hair underneath it. All I have to worry about is make up, which I will put on now in the bathroom so you cant see it," Peyton said sticking out her tongue and going into the closet to grab a bag and walked into the adjoining bathroom.

After Brooke finished doing Haley's hair and make up she added finishing touches to her own as Haley walked back to her room to put on her costume. "So we'll all meet downstairs after we have our costumes on deal?" Brooke yelled so Peyton could hear her also.

"Deal," Haley yelled walking away.

"Okay," Peyton yelled from the bathroom.

10 minutes later Brooke had finished getting ready, dressed in her red halter devil costume that had feather accentuating her waist a deeper red and a deeper red color on her bust that clung to her curves, slinging on her red heels she made her way downstairs. Haley slipped on her spaghetti white dress, with a form-fitting bodice that ended up flowing out at the bottom, and stopping just before her knees accented with a sterling silver necklace and simple dangly earrings and a pair of white high heels. After grabbing her wings and halo she ran downstairs to meet the other two. Peyton put on her tight black costume, before her black and gray wig with black angel wings and big black bracelets with a pair of black platform shoes. She'd known Brooke had wanted to see her costume and wanted to surprise both the brunette's.

--

The three girls made their way into the packed club trying to make sure nobody hit their wings and looking for the guys. Peyton and Haley had no clue what the guys were wearing, only Brooke knew since she picked them out.

"So Brooke what are the guys wearing?" Peyton asked curiously.

"You'll have to find them and all I can say is good luck," Brooke told the duo mischievously before walking away to the bar.

"What do you think she means by that?" Haley asked nervously.

"I dunno," Peyton said shrugging her shoulders and looking for the guys.

Nathan saw Haley across the room and a smile crept to his face. She looks beautiful he thought before making his way across the room to her, Lucas and Skills following closely behind.

Nathan quickly tapped Haley's shoulder as she whirled around with a hand on her hip. "Sorry I've got a boyfriend, I'm not interested," she told the guy who was staring at her in a batman costume.

"He doesn't have to know," He whispered huskily sending chills down her back and butterflies in her stomach. After Haley looked in Batman's eyes and at Superman standing next to Batman she recognized Lucas standing next to Nathan. Two can play this game she thought.

A wicked grin spread on her face as she pressed her body against the hard batman costume and stood on her tiptoes her mouth close to his ear. "No I guess he doesn't," She agreed seductively as Nathan's eyes went wide before crashing her lips on his and he understood that she knew it was him.

Nathan took her bottom lip between his teeth and gently nibbled on it before running his tongue over the seam of her lips and thrusting his tongue in hers. Nathan picked Haley up by her waist and deepened the kiss.

"So Spiderman and Superman huh?" Peyton asked looking between the two guys.

"Come on curly fry you know I look good," Skills said through the red spider mask.

Peyton shook her head with a smile as she saw Lucas in the Superman black wig and costume.

"Yeah he might look good, but I'm the iron man! He's just a bug!!" Lucas said with defiance putting his fists on his hips and smirking.

Peyton looked at both men with incredulity and tried her hardest not bust out laughing.

"Dude it looks like you have a dead skunk on your head," Skills told Lucas in repugnance.

Peyton couldn't hold it in any longer and let out a loud laugh, while walking away to get a drink. She shook her head at the guy's immature behavior, and all the vying for her attention. I really don't want a relationship right now, so I don't know why the keep fighting for my attention. I'm still trying to learn how to trust guys again after everything that happened with Jake, she thought sadly before heading to the bar and getting a drink. Something strong.

--

"So if it isn't my beautiful neighbor," a deep voice said putting a drink in front of the brunette sitting directly across from where he was standing.

"Which part of I'm not interested don't you get?" Brooke asked annoyed.

"The part where you keep coming into my work and talking to me," Owen said with a boastful smirk.

Looking around and seeing all her friends occupied she put her hands on the sleek bar top and leaned forward so their faces were inches apart. "I have a boyfriend and he's 10 times better than you. And before you even try to dip into your shallow pool of wit, let me paint us a picture and save us both the trouble. Here's your evening. You are going to finish working, leave me alone, unless I want another drink, go home, and make nice with yourself. But don't be thinking of me. Because even your fantasy of me isn't interested in you and please don't even try to be a friendly neighbor because I'm not ever going to be your girl next door." Brooke told him sitting back in her spot and waving Owen off before rolling her eyes and getting lost in thoughts of Derek and how much she missed him. I really hope he writes me soon, I haven't head from him in awhile, and maybe I should talk to Peyton and see if she's heard from him, she thought.

--

Peyton ordered a Sunkist and Malibu before turning around and looking out onto the dance floor.

"Peyton?" A male voice asked coming to stand next to her.

"Mouth?" Peyton asked unsurely.

"Yea how are you doing?" He asked her, while looking at the dark angel in front of him.

"I'm doing okay…haven't really seen you at the river court commenting on Nathan, Skills and Lucas' playing," She told him while looking at his John Travolta costume.

"Yea you know working at a news stations busy. But how are you? Having fun?" He asked earnestly genuine.

"Yea I don't know about working in a news station, but the high school is pretty hectic. I'm not really having fun. I mean, I'd just like to see the band cause its Fall Out Boy you know, but I still had to force myself to come here tonight.

"Yea me too." Mouth agreed nodding his head understandingly.

" I'm just dealing with some personal stuff." Peyton said shrugging her shoulders before glancing at Lucas and Skills who still seemed to be arguing.

"Yeah, me too." Mouth said thinking about how his girlfriend of 2 years, Shelly just broke up with him.

"And someone spilled soda on my wings." Peyton said a little resentfully.

"I think that was me." Mouth told her apologetically.

"Oh… I guess it's okay if it was you, but you owe me a dance now," She told him as disco inferno blared in the club and he led her to the dance floor. They started disco dancing under the disco ball hanging about their heads. Everyone was watching them and could see they were having fun as two sets of eyes glared at Mouth in jealousy.

"Okay are you all ready for Fall Down Boy?" Karen asked the audience wearing a rented cop costume, as the crowd looked around at each other silently asking the person next to them if she was serious.

"It's umm Fall Out Boy," Peyton yelled trying to help the poor woman on stage.

"Sorry Fall Out Boy," Karen said correcting her mistake. "Anyway do I hear a woot woot?" Karen asked the dead silent room, as Lucas looked at him mom embarrassingly, trying to hide it with an awkward smile. "Guess not… all right well without further ado Fall Out Boy." Karen said walking offstage as Fall Out Boy made its way on and started playing.

She says she's no good with words but I'm worse
Barely stuttered out
"A joke of a romantic" or stuck to my tongue
Weighed down with words too over-dramatic
Tonight it's "it can't get much worse"
Vs. "no one should ever feel like.."

I'm two quarters and a heart down
And I don't want to forget how your voice sounds
These words are all I have so I'll write them
So you need them just to get by

Whispered: We're going into D-Minor

Dance, Dance
We're falling apart to half time
Dance, Dance
And these are the lives you'd love to lead
Dance, this is the way they'd love
If they knew how misery loved me

"Let's dance," Haley said pulling Nathan onto the dance floor and joining Peyton, Brooke and Mouth who were all dancing and singing along.

You always fold just before you're found out
Drink up its last call
Last resort
But only the first mistake and I...

I'm two quarters and a heart down
And I don't want to forget how your voice sounds
These words are all I have so I'll write them
So you need them just to get by

Why don't you show me the little bit of spine
You've been saving for his mattress, love

"I love Fall Out Boy," Peyton told Brooke as they continued dancing.

Dance, Dance
We're falling apart to half time
Dance, Dance
And these are the lives you'd love to lead
Dance, this is the way they'd love
If they knew how misery loved me

Why don't you show me the little bit of spine
You've been saving for his mattress (mattress, mattress)
I only want sympathy in the form of you crawling into bed with me

"Maybe you can crawl in bed with Pete, since I heard him and Ashley are taking a break," Brooke said jokingly.

Dance, Dance
We're falling apart to half time
Dance, Dance
And these are the lives you'd love to lead

"I already have enough problems with guys thank you I don't need to add another one to the mix," Peyton told the brunette shaking her head at her.

Dance this is the way they'd love (way they'd love)
Dance this is the way they'd love (way they'd love)
Dance this is the way they'd love
If they knew how misery loved me

Dance, Dance
Dance, Dance
Dance, Dance

Dance, Dance

"Have you heard from Derek lately?" Brooke asked nervously.

"No but I'm sure he's fine, just prolly really busy. Don't worry Brooke he really likes you. I bet as soon as he gets some free time he'll respond to you little love letter," Peyton told her compassionately.

"You're such a angel," Brooke said sarcastically narrowing her eyes.

"Yep the angel of death, you better watch out Brooke you never know when I'm coming for you," Peyton said putting her hands in front of her like a ghost and walking closer to the brunette.

"Don't make me get Skills or Lucas," Brooke retaliated as the two girls glared at each other.

--

Nathan was standing at the bar waiting for Haley to get back from the bathroom when a feminine voice purred in his ear.

"Hi sexy," the woman said wearing a red string bikini with a very short red cape tied around her neck.

"What are you suppose to be?" Nathan asked staring at the light brunette in front of him in distaste.

"Little red riding hood of course, wanna save me from the big bad wolf?" She asked seductively as Nathan just looked at her in disbelief.

"No," He told her looking away. Instead of leaving she moved so she was standing in front of him.

"Oh its cause you don't know my name right?" The woman asked sauntering up to him as he tried to back away, but was met by the bar blocking him from escaping. "It's Carrie" She told him smiling before putting her arms around his neck.

Haley watched in jealousy as she saw another woman putting her hands on her boyfriend. Who would've thought I would be so possessive, but I want to yank that bitch's hair so she's away from my guy, she asked herself. She watched the scene unfold and had to hold in her laughter as she saw Nathan removing the skanks arms away from him and what seemed to be telling her off. Sneakily walking to him she heard the last part of what he said.

"Look Carrie I don't want you, I have a girlfriend and you just look like a slut so go try and find someone else cause I don't want you and never will." Nathan said looking down at the woman like she was scum.

Haley could see Carrie was fuming and decided to make her presence known. Marching up to Nathan she pushed the slut out of the way and possessively fused her lips together with Nathan, letting the bimbo know he was off limits.

Nathan swiped his tongue against her lips, before slipping it into Haley's mouth and dominating the kiss. His hand went to squeeze her ass suggestively letting anyone else know that he was off limits and warning the guys not to come near his angel. The two tongues dueled together as they each got lost in the other forgetting about the rest of the people in the club. Pulling away to catch their breaths Nathan's lips trailed along her cheeks before going to work on her neck.

Looking around Haley realized where they were and pushed Nathan away embarrassed.

"We shouldn't be doing this here," She scolded as Nathan gave her his trademark smirk.

"Than lets leave," He propositioned giving her his puppy dog eyes.

Nibbling on her bottom lip Haley thought about what would happen if they were to leave. The last time they were alone they made out, but it was getting really heated until Brooke called interrupting them. Okay depending what this next song is we'll leave, Haley thought to herself as she waited for the DJ to play the next song since Fall Out Boy was over with.

We're both looking for something
That we've been afraid to find
It's easier to be broken
It's easier to hide

Looking at you, holding my breath,
For once in my life, I'm scared to death,
I'm taking a chance, letting you inside.

I have my answer I have to let him inside even if it scares me she thought before taking Nathan's hand in her and intertwining their finger, walking with him to his car. She knew Brooke saw them leaving and would inform the others so they wouldn't get worried about her.

They two drove to her house as she sat nervously in her seat. Ironically the same song that was on in Tric was the same as the radio station they were currently listening to.

I'm feeling alive all over again,
As deep as the sky, under my skin
Like being in love, she says
For the first time
Well maybe I'm wrong,
But I'm feeling right where I belong
With you tonight
Like being in love
Can feel for the first time

The world that I see inside you
Waiting to come to life
Waking me up to dreaming
Reality in your eyes

This song defiantly described how she felt about Nathan. She knew she was falling in love with him and for the first time in her life she felt that she was right where she belonged. Even though it scared her she was ready to give herself to him. Completely.

Looking at you,
Holding my breath,
For once in my life
I'm scared to death,
I'm taking a chance,
Letting you inside.

The two made their way into Haley's house with Nathan following behind Haley. He figured they would watch a movie and probably make out. He was scared that he had only known her a short while and felt that she probably knew him better than anyone else. He was falling hard and fast for the angel walking ahead of him and even if he was scared he wasn't going to pull away from her no matter what.

"So we going to watch a movie?" Nathan asked walking into the living room.

"I thought we could do something else," Haley said nervously nibbling on her bottom lip and twirling her pinkie ring as she looked at Nathan lustfully.

Nathan felt his breath hitch and his heart beat frantically, mesmerized at her standing before him so innocently beautiful. He could feel himself getting harder at her innuendo and taking a few strides was in front of her leaning down he kissed her softly.

"I don't want to push you." He repeated his words from earlier.

"You aren't" Haley replied as Nathan kissed her a little more forcedly this time.

Haley kissed him back, before breaking away and taking her angel wings and halo off and throwing them on the floor next to the staircase. Nathan whipped off his mask and kissed her hungrily this time as the two tried making their way upstairs, without breaking the kiss. They finally made it to Haley's bedroom and he laid her on the bed, before climbing on top slowing down and sensually kissing her.

Nathan slid his hand up her thigh as their tongues danced together. Breaking away from her lips Nathan planted butterfly kisses around her face before trailing his lips to her neck and sucking on her pulse point. He had found out from earlier make out sessions it was one of her weak spots. Haley gripped his back at the wonderful things his mouth did to hers as she arched her head back and tilted it to the side to give him better access. Sucking on her delicate neck, bruising it slightly, before swiping his tongue over it and cooling it down.

Her body hummed and felt on fire as she chewed her bottom lip between her teeth to stop the moan from escaping. Her hands moved from his shoulders to the zipper on the back of the costume. The bulky costume he had on was getting in her way of feeling his skin on hers and her fingers itched to touch his defined muscles. Stopping his attack on her neck he helped her take off the batman costume and threw it on the floor leaving him in only a pair of blue plaid boxers.

Dipping his head back down he captured her mouth with his and began nibbling on her bottom lip before sliding his tongue in her mouth and probing around. His hand kneaded her breast over the white dress, as the other one toyed with the curls of her hair and started kissing down the valley of her breast stopping when he got to the silky white dress. He moved his head to her shoulder where the thin strap holding her dress was and slowly moved it off kissing along the way, before doing the same on the other side. His rough, calloused hand that was kneading her breast moved down to trail up her leg before sliding it up her inner thigh and making sure she was wet for him.

Grabbing the bottom of the white dress he pushed it up and saw her wearing white, lacy, bikini panties, and a matching lacy, white strapless bra. Hungrily his lips attacked her stomach as his hand started to fondle her breast through the lacy fabric. His lips connected to her breast over the material, where her nipples were straining to get out, feeling himself getting harder with each second passing. Straddling her he grabbed the bottom of the dress and pulled it up and over her head before going back to ravishing her as she tangled their legs together and ran her hands up and down his back, feeling the taunt muscles rippling under her fingers.

Reaching a hand behind her he expertly unclasped the bra before bringing his mouth to her pert rosebud nipple, and sucking on it ravenously. Moving one of her hands away from his back she fisted it in his hair pulling him against her even more. Leaving her breasts, Nathan kissed down her body swirling his tongue around her belly button before continuing his journey and kissing along where her underwear rested on her hips. Using two fingers he slid it down her legs kissing her body as the underwear slid off and throwing them on the floor haphazardly, before kissing his way back up her inner thigh and landing on apex of her thigh. Nathan smirked when she gasped in shock and slid two fingers into her wet folds; Haley arched her back in pleasure, needing him desperately. She felt the ache between her legs, before he started sliding his digits in and out of her in a rapid pace. Fisting her hands in his hair she felt her first orgasm hit powerfully.

"Oh god Nathan," Haley moaned breathlessly.

As he moved his mouth to lap up the juices between her legs, he tasted something that was only her. Haley couldn't believe how good his tongue felt on her. Pulling his head up to hers she kissed him deeply. Their tongues dueled. Raking her nails over his chest Haley slid his boxers off wanting to feel him buried deep inside her and using her feet to push them all the way off. Grabbing a condom off the dresser Nathan rolled it along his hard length and positioned himself at Haley's entrance.

Locking eyes Nathan intertwined their fingers, before kissing her again and thrusting inside. The two moved in sync as he plunged himself in her, before moving in and out. The friction making a thin layer of sweat on their bodies. Haley squeezed his hand's tighter at the feel of him inside if her, moaning out loud when he hit the entrance to her womb, and she unintentionally squeezed her internal muscles around him; making him groan into her mouth.

Their bodies moved in a rhythm only life long lovers seem to find, her moans met his grunts as he continued to thrust his body against hers. She had never felt this way with Josh. He could feel it at the base of his spine, that tell tale tingling before he reached his peek, but he wanted her with him. Always with him. Back in high school he hadn't cared whether the girl had gotten pleasure as long as he got off, but with Haley he wanted to fall into oblivion with her. So he wrapped his arms under her knees, pushing her legs further backwards, his length now hitting her clit on every down stroke, turning her moans into uncontrollable cries as his grunts turned into heavy groans of her name as he emptied everything he had deep inside of her. They both collapsed onto the bed, a breathless tangled sweaty mess of limbs, before he lazily pulled her to him and kissed the top of her head lovingly.

"That was wow," Haley said snuggling into his side even more.

"I know," Nathan replied cockily as Haley playfully swatted his bare chest.

Haley bit her lip before sliding her foot up and down his leg as he looked over at her with his eyes half closed. Moving her leg she quickly straddled him before bending down and fusing their mouths together as their tongues battled feverously and the room seemed to get hotter than it already was. Haley sank down onto him and they both fell into that passion filled heaven once again and that's how they spent the rest of the night, before drifting off to sleep together with his arms holding her tight against his body and never wanting to let her go.

--

A loud banging on the door jerked Haley awake from her dream. Looking at the arm holding her possessively, a smile appeared on her face as she tried to wiggle out from underneath it to go see who was at the door. Nathan feeling her trying to get out of his arms tightened his grasp.

"Nathan," She said as he smirked pulling her closer.

"No leave," he said burying his head in the crook of her neck.

Haley smiled at the gesture before the loud banging broke through the silence once again. "I have to go someone's at the door. I'll be right back I promise," Haley said giving his lips a peck before getting out of bed and throwing on a pair of pajama shorts and a tank top.

I wonder who's at the door, Haley thought since she wasn't expecting anyone and making her way down the stairs. Opening the door she was surprised at the curly mess standing before her.

"Peyt what's wrong?" Haley asked worriedly seeing the red-rimmed eyes of her best friend.

"I…I don't know what to do anymore," Peyton said choking back a sob.

"What happened?" Haley asked concerned ushering the blonde into the house.

"I…I dunno…" Peyton said walking inside and sitting on the couch in the living room with her head in her hands.

"Hey Hales who was at the door?" Nathan asked walking down the stairs in a pair of boxers and running a hand through his rumpled hair.

"Oh god I'm so sorry," Peyton said looking between the two and then seeing the mask and angel wings lying next to the stairs, before bolting to the door and flinging it open. Her mouth going agape when she saw the guy on the other side holding another blonde's hand and having the other about to raise to knock on the door.

"Jake?" Peyton said, her eyes widening in shock and clutching her stomach feeling like she'd just been sucker punched.
