Chapter 10

Movie Night At The Scotts

It was their annual movie night that they had faithfully carved out the previous year. No matter what was going on or how busy their lives were, they had always vowed to spend one night of the week together pigging out and watching crappy teen movies, it was their tradition. It had been a couple of days since the whole college fiasco and Brooke and Nathans relationship seemed stronger then ever. They had temporarily solved things and agreed to enjoy the rest of senior year and worry about college when it was actually time to leave. They had said, why harp on their separation when they could enjoy and cherish the remaining time together, so things were pretty much back to normal for them. Jake and Peyton were still being their usual sappy selves and Luke was just as broody as ever. The one thing that had changed over the last two days was that I had a date with a hot guy to the dance. I spent all day yesterday shopping with my sister and Brooke in search of the perfect dress. It had taken sometime, but after much input from fric and frac , had found a gorgeous off the shoulder white dress that fit my body to perfection. It was so beautiful and I felt like an absolute princess in it. I just hoped that Riley would like it just as much as I do.

"Hey, Hales, Brooke said. Did you get the ice cream? I don't see it anywhere."

"Yeah, it's right here", Haley said passing her the container.

"This is really ridiculous, Peyton said looking over the abundance of junk food they had dutifully accumulated for their male counterparts. This is enough to send someone into a diabetic coma for years", she laughed.

"You know the guys, Haley said, they're pigs. They will eat anything eatable within five feet."

"Babe, Jake said walking into the kitchen as his eyes began to wander over everything the girls had bought. Where are the twinkies?" , he whined.

Haley just rolled her eyes as Brooke began giggling at the obvious pout he was displaying to Peyton because he didn't see his favorite snack.

"Stop the whining please, Peyton said digging into one of the bags. Here you big baby", she said passing him the box of twinkies.

"Score, he said pumping his fist in the air. You're the best", he said kissing her before leaving the girls alone in the kitchen.

"If he wasn't so cute I would dump his twinkie eating ass", Peyton said as the girls began laughing.

-

"Hey Jake, would you tell Lucas that I kicked his ass fifty to eighty last time we played NBA Live", Nathan said to a stuffed mouth Jake who had began shoving snack cakes into his mouth.

"I don't know", Jake mumbled barely able to pronounce a word.

"This is bullshit, you remember", Nate said.

"Nate, calm down. It's not that serious", Luke said.

"It is. I just want to prove my point that I can always kick your ass", he smirked.

"Whatever dude", he said just as the girls were joining them in the sitting room.

"Alright, Brooke said. Shut that game off. This is movie time, not who can score the most points on some stupid game time."

"You know I can always score", Nathan laughed pulling a squealing Brooke onto his lap.

"So, what movie are we watching tonight?", Haley asked.

"I don't really care, I'm tired anyway", Lucas said.

"Anything's fine with me", Peyton added.

"Ohh, 'The Notebook', Brooke excitedly clapped.

"Hell no , Nathan said. I already been suckered into watching that one time before. Pick something else", he said to a pouting Brooke.

"I have to agree with our young Nate", Jake laughed.

"Shut up Jake!", all of the girls screamed.

"What?", he said as he began unwrapping another cake.

"You shouldn't talk because you were crying harder then any of us the last time we watched it. I remember you kept asking would Allie ever remember their life together, you big sap", Brooke laughed.

"Hey, I'm a sensitive guy", he said holding his hand over his heart. I like happy endings."

"Sensitively sappy", Haley laughed.

After a couple more minutes of playful banter with each other, they had agreed to watching Terminator 3, letting the guys chose. The deal was if they picked what movie they all watched tonight, the girls got to pick the next three times what to watch without hearing any complaints what so ever out of the boys mouth. The girls quickly jumped on the deal settling for being surrounded by macho behavior for the next two hours.

Haley was sitting bored out of her mid as the sounds of some machine gun blared from the television screen. Why had she agreed to watch this, it was not entertaining. She looked around the darken room to see Lucas quietly snoring as he had fell to sleep ten minutes into the movie. Looking over to her left, she saw Jake whispering something into her sister's ear as Peyton began giggling at whatever he was saying. What had made Haley uncomfortable though was the sight she saw just seats way from her. She didn't know what had possessed her to share the same sofa as them, but now she deeply regretted it. Nathan and Brooke were in full make out mode sitting right next to her. Haley tried her hardest to ignore the couple , but it became a bit difficult as she could hear the satisfied moans escaping Brooke as Nathan ravaged her thoroughly. She had to fight hard to stop the tears that were threatening to spill from her eyes any minute as she saw and heard the guy she loved with his girlfriend, it was so painful for her to deal with. Quickly excusing herself, she sighted needing to use the bathroom as her escape, but she was very doubtful any of them had actually heard her as they were too wrapped up in their own little worlds. Leaning her head against the kitchen wall she was thankful to be out of there, she breathed deeply praying that she could get over this and realize it was a dream. Nathan would never be hers , her mind knew it, now he just needed her heart to catch up and know it as well. The ringing of Haley's cell phone broke her of all of her thoughts as she quickly dug in her pockets to retrieve the phone.

"Hello", she said.

"Hey Haley, it's Riley."

"Oh hey. What's up?", she said.

"Nothing much, I just wanted to tell you there's been a change in plans."

"Oh, she said disappointed. That's just what she needed to cap off her crappy night, now Riley was calling to cancel on her. It's fine, I understand if you don't want to go out with me."

"No, no, he said. Of course want to go out with you. There is nothing I want more."

"Oh", Haley laughed about her overreaction.

"I just wanted to tell you instead of seven, could we make it seven thirty. I have some things to do, and I want to make sure there is enough time. Wouldn't want such a beautiful girl to think I stood her up because I was a few minutes late."

"That's no problem", she smiled because he had called her beautiful.

"Are you sure?", he asked.

"Positive, I'll see you at seven thirty."

"Seven thirty. Night Haley. I can't wait until Friday, I know you'll look beautiful", he said.

"Thanks. Good Night Riley", she said closing her phone.

"What are you smiling at?", Nathan asked her as he walked into the kitchen.

"Nothing" , she quickly said not wanting to have a conversation about Riley with Nathan.

He eyed her suspiciously before grabbing the tub of ice cream scooping some into a bowl with two spoons.

"Ok, he finally said. You coming back, we thought we lost you there for a minute", he laughed.

"Yeah I'll be there in a minute', she said.

"Alright , don't take to long, nerd", he said kissing her on the forehead before leaving her alone once again.

God he had to stop that. With one last deep breath, she made her way back to join everyone and to be undoubtedly surrounded by more awkwardness as she found herself in this weird situation. She only hoped that it would resolve itself soon, because she didn't know how much more she take.

PLEASE REVIEW!

UP NEXT-HALEY prepares for her date with Riley and Nathan see's her differently.

Slight Warning-I did not write a chapter with Riley and Haley's date. You will see her with him some during the story, but I felt the need to go deep into their night was not necessary to the story as a whole, so sorry to anyone that wanted to see that.
