Annie: You stole money from your own brothers? From babies?
Annie: This is pathetic. Really pathetic.
Annie: We had no idea that you were this far down the road.
Mary: I am not in trouble.
Eric: Life gets so complicated when you don't tell the truth.
Mary: So what's best for everyone is to ship me off to Siberia to live with old people?
Annie: Yep, that's basically it. You will live with your grandparents, you will take a job working at a homeless shelter, with your first few checks going to Sam and David. And in January you and grandma will take a course.
Mary: What if I am not going to do this?
Eric: In my heart of hearts, I know this is the right thing. This is the right thing to do!
Annie: I love you! Remember what you said, it's better to have an angry kid then a dead kid!
Annie: Nothing justifies calling a child stupid. NOTHING.
Ms. Riddle: You have your opinion, and I have mine.
Annie: Yes, but your opinion is wrong!
Haley went up to the bar and asked for a drink.
"Are you twenty on?" He asked.
"She's the maid of honor. Plus she just had a conversation with her boyfriend. Let her have a few drinks." Vivian said. She took Haley with her to the courtyard and sat her down in the gazebo.
"Thanks Vivian."
"No problem. Besides, Nathan told me what he said to you. how are you feeling?" Vivian hugged her little sister.
"He told me he loves me. I can't believe he loves me."
"I can. Do you even see the way he looks at you? It's the same way Cody looks at me." Haley looked at her sister and sighed. "Are you okay?"
"I'm fine Vivian. I really am. But I wish he wouldn't tell me things that aren't true. I mean I know he wants me back, but why would he tell me a lie."
Vivian stood up and got in front of her sister. "How dense are you? he is not lying to you. he is so in love with you. he wanted it to be so special, with candles and rosé petals. He even painted his chest with the words, 'I love you' on. Haley, if anyone is lying, it's you to yourself. I know you love him."
"I don't."
"Fine. Be inside soon. You have to make your speech. Hope it's good." Haley nodded and took the speech out of her clutch. She hurried inside and took the mike.
"Could I have everyone's attention. I'd like to say a few things about my sister. She can be a pain sometimes. But I love her. But I'm sorry I have to do this. When she was 13 she had her first boyfriend. His name was Billy Barkens. I was recently looking through some old boxes and found her old diary." Haley took it out of her clutch and began to read it.
"'Dear Diary, I just got kissed for the first time. You know what that means. Billy Barkens is going to be my husband some day. That's all for now.'" Haley smiled over at her sister. "I just thought Cody should know that he will always be second to Billy Barkens. To Vivian and Cody." Haley said as she held up her glass.
Haley handed Nathan the mike so he could make a speech.
"Listen, I'm not the best man. I'm just a fill-in for the real best man who is becoming a father at this point. I haven't known Cody or Vivian for that long, but I know that they both love each other by the way they look at one another. I know that they'll be with each other for the rest of their lives." He looked at Haley as he said the next part. "I hope to have that some day. To Vivian and Cody." Nathan held up his water glass. "May you have a lifetime of happiness."
Everyone sipped their glasses after also saying to Vivian and Cody.
After the first few dances, Nathan followed Haley into the girl's room. "Nathan, what the hell." She had just come out of a stall. She washed her hands as Nathan talked.
"Haley, you never said anything. How do you feel about what I said?"
"What do you want me to say Nathan?"
"Tell me how you feel." Nathan said. He needed to know how she felt.
Haley looked up at Nathan. "I don't know how I feel." That was the truth. She didn't know how she really felt about Nathan at this point.
"Haley, it's a yes or no answer, do you love me?"
"No, I hate you!" Haley yelled. She stumbled backwards and hit the wall. Nathan didn't know what to say. He just left the bathroom.
After the reception was over Brooke and Peyton saw Haley in the courtyard crying.
"Haley, what's wrong?" Brooke asked. "Are you okay?"
"I'm fine. I just told Nathan that I hate him after he told me he loves me."
"What?" Peyton said. "He loves you?" Haley nodded. "Wow, I'm surprised."
Brooke gasped. "When did he tell you? He wanted it to be perfect."
"It was perfect. He told me the truth." Haley smiled. "He's in love with me."
Nathan was in his room packing to go home the next day. He wanted to leave as soon as possible to get away from the women who he loves but hates him. Lucas came to talk to him when he heard that Nathan made Haley cry.
"I didn't do anything to her. I never said one hurtful too her." Nathan said once Lucas was in his room. "Lucas, I told Haley that I'm in love with her."
"What?" Lucas was so shocked. "You're in love with Haley?" Nathan just nodded.
"I told her I loved her and she said she hated me."
"I'm so sorry Nathan. I didn't mean to blame you. but for what it's worth, I know she doesn't hate you."
Nathan hoped it was true. But he knew it wasn't. "Thanks, but I can't believe you."
