Chapter Eleven: Careless Whispers

Haley POV

She stood motionless at his front door, wondering what exactly she could say or do to make things right again between them.

She watched as his car pulled into the parking lot, she knew he hadn't seen her yet since she had hidden in the shadows so he couldn't turn and hightail it out of there, they needed to talk about this, they needed to figure this out, she needed him to hold her and let her apologise, confess to him that's he's the only one.

She held her breath when he saw her as he climbed the stairs, wordlessly he opened the apartment door, leaving it open for her to follow him in. With a deep breath she took a step forward ready for whatever fight they were about to have.

Dean POV

His mind was swimming with questions, answers, trying to come up with logical reasons of why this was happening but nothing made sense anymore.

She was the last person on his list of people he expected to see first, but there she stood still as beautiful as the first time he saw her, but getting past earlier was gonna be hard for him. He took a deep breath before moving towards her, he didn't even glance at her as he slipped his key in the lock pushing the door open in the process and leaving it wide for her to follow.

He dropped his bag on the counter as he waited till he heard the lock close over again.

Third POV

They stood quietly for a few minutes before Haley broke the tension. "Dean," she started but stopped when she didn't now what else to say.

"Do you love Nathan?" it was the question she was dreading.

"I don't know," her voice seemed quieter then before. "I don't know how I feel anymore Dean," it was the truth, her feelings had been so clouded lately, she really thought it was love with Dean but the moment that Nathan confessed that he and Brooke were an item her heart sank and she was jealous of Brooke.

He never said anything, his back still to her. "Dean talk to me please," it was then he swivelled on his heels to face her.

"Talk about how you made me feel like a complete idiot or the fact that you confessed to sleeping with one of my best friends, while being in love with the other, or the fact that I'm something to pass the time with till Nathan realizes he's in love with you too?" He glared at her; Haley lost all train of thought as his words poured out at her.

"You lied to me too."

"About what? Being in love with you, newsflash that wasn't a lie," Dean's voice got slightly louder, making Haley hang her head.

"You lied to me about Peyton," Dean gave a half smug laugh.

"Oh yeah cause what I did was worse, I was keeping a promise Hales," the way he said her name made her flinch there was so much venom behind it. "Something you know nothing about."

"I didn't come here to fight with you Dean."

"So why did you come here?" Dean threw back at her, he hated seeing the pain that etched its way across her face but he couldn't get over the fact that she had been the one person he thought he could trust the most and she let him down in ways he couldn't imagine.

"I came to see where we stand now."

"Seriously?" Dean couldn't believe she was asking him this.

"I love…"

"Don't dare finish that sentence, Haley, don't say that cause you don't mean it," he cut her off, she frowned at him.

"So what, that's it?" he wanted to say no so badly, that wasn't it, they would work through it, he could tell by the look in her eye that she wanted to hear him say that, but what followed next sealed the deal for them both.

"Yeah,…that's it," he swallowed the lump down in his throat, Haley felt as if her breath had been knocked out of her and that someone had shattered her heart into a thousand pieces as she looked into green eyes that were screaming in pain.

"Ok," she turned to the door pausing as she opened it to cast a final look in Dean's direction. "I'm so sorry," she choked out before leaving.

His heart raced as she shut the door, it screamed to follow but the stubborn ass he was stayed put as he watched her walk out of his life, his words had finalised the only piece of happiness in his life.

He slumped down the side of the counter as he stared at the door, knowing life for all of them would be different.

She pressed herself up against the door, hoping he would change his mind and chase her, but deep down she knew he was more stubborn that.

Tears fell as she stared at the door and decided it was time to leave this life behind for good.

Brooke & Nathan POV

She stared at herself in the mirror, tears streaked down her face. "Why can't you be happy Brooke Davis?" She whispered to herself, "Why can't you get the boy and be happy?"

"Depends on which boy you want?" his voice had her turning to face him slowly.

"Nate," she forced out. "How'd you get in?"

"Spare key," he held it up before placing it on her dresser table. "So Lucas huh?" he tried to smile at her. "Couldn't have been someone else, it had to be my best friend and someone I truly trust."

"I didn't expect for you to happen, I didn't expect for any of this," Nathan nodded as he sat at the end of her bed.

"So what now?" he asked his gaze currently occupied with the carpet in her room.

"I don't know, I guess it's up to you," he pursed his lips before standing up and nodding at her.

"Do you love me?" he asked out loud.

"What?"

"Do you love me?" She visibly swallowed the lump in her throat as he asked her that, "Easy question Brooke, quit stalling," he pressed hard.

"I don't know" she answered back.

"You don't know, you either love me or you don't, simple," he stated taking another step forward. "Do you love me or him?"

She stared at him in complete bewilderment, she hadn't meant for the next word to come tumbling out of her mouth but in all honesty she couldn't lie to him anymore.

"No I don't love you," she stated it so calmly; she saw the light his eyes once held fade quickly. "Nathan, I don't know what I want right now."

"Don't worry about it; I hope you and Lucas are happy together."

"That's unfair."

"Unfair, Unfair is you letting me tell you that I love you knowing you didn't, unfair is me finding out that the night we got together is the night that you and Lucas nearly kissed."

Brooke looked away from him, "So don't tell me what's unfair Brooke, when we both know that by tomorrow you'll be with him cause after all he confessed his love for you." Nathan sneered as he left, "But remember this, he won't love you the way I do," and with that he was gone.

Lucas & Peyton POV

She slammed the door shut again. "GO AWAY!" she yelled at him.

"We need to talk about this P."

"No we don't cause it's done, over with you," she yelled through the door again, she heard him sigh out loud.

"Not by a long shot, we need to talk about us, about you, about why you never told me," she let her body slump against the door in a hard thump. "Peyton you ok?" his voice was laced with concern she almost forgave him right there, but her heart was still slowly breaking at the very thought that even though it had been an issue before, he promised it was all her and she believed him.

"Peyton, babe please, talk to me," Lucas begged he rested his forehead against the cool door as he tried to talk sense into her.

"Why don't you go talk Brooke," she retorted, she could hear him swearing. "Luke just leave me alone," she could feel tears begin to prick at her eyes.

"Not until you forgive me."

"Well I guess you'll be there forever cause I won't be anytime soon," she choked out as she buried her head into her knees, biting back the pain that was rushing through her body.

She heard the faintest of kicks on the door before a car started and she couldn't help but feel more anger that he didn't try harder.

Four Hours later:

Everyone sat round Peyton's wearing matching scowls and frowns on their faces, Haley sat at one end of the table with Brooke perched on the other, Nathan stood crossed arm as he leaned against the opening of the kitchen, Lucas and Jake stood next to each other against the wall, while Dean leaned against the counter, avoiding eye contact with Haley, with Peyton perched next to him.

"So why are we here?" Nathan asked Peyton who smiled at him.

"We need to mend this bridge."

"Yeah try telling Dean that," Haley whispered out loud causing Dean to glare at her.

"Look we've been friends for too long to let this little meltdown tear us apart," Lucas added trying to sooth the tension.

"Yeah cause you're main concern is our friendship," Nathan retorted.

"Excuse me," Lucas pushed himself forward off the wall.

"You heard," Nathan stepped closer.

"OH for crying out loud, this is bullshit," Brooke called out standing up and facing them all. "Don't you get it, we're not friends, not one of us," she turned to them all stopping on Peyton. "I mean P here, couldn't tell us she had cancer that's how close we are, and then Haley," Brooke turned to face the girl. "She can't keep her pants on long enough; she's shacking up with two of our friends, and fancies one of them rotten." She glared at Nathan who was glaring right back, "So let's not go down the road of whose friends with who cause honestly none of us are."

Everyone was quiet as they processed what Brooke had said, "So what throw years of friendship away because of one tape?" Peyton questioned Brooke, who just shrugged carelessly. "Look I'm sorry I didn't tell you about my cancer," Dean wrapped an arm round Peyton pulling her close to him. "The only reason I told Dean is because he came to see me and I needed to tell someone badly and well …."

"My best friend was there for you to steal too," Brooke retorted.

"What?" Peyton laughed.

While Dean warned her, "Brooke Enough!"

"You know what I'm done with this bullshit and I'm done with you guys, all of you," she aimed the last part mostly at Lucas and Dean and with that she left Peyton's.

"Brooke!" Dean called out but she was gone, his gaze fell on Haley who for the most part had been quiet.

"I'm done," Nathan spoke up too following Brooke out, then Lucas left, leaving Jake, Haley, Dean and Peyton.

Peyton gently squeezed the side of Dean's forearm to give him support; Haley caught the gesture and smiled up at Peyton, "I hope you feel better Peyton." She grabbed her bag and left the room followed closely by Jake. Dean wanted so badly to follow and punch Jake but it was pointless and so was all this drama the gang had created around them.

THE NEXT DAY...

The next day when they all got to school separately, yet at the same time, they looked at their old table and then at each other, and then walked away. They however noticed one was missing, they thought for sure that she would show up. But she didn't. Even though they all noticed she wasn't there, they went to sit with other people they had met over the years. Brooke went to sit with her cheerleaders. Nathan went to sit with his basketball team. Dean went to sit with his football team. Luke went to sit with the geeks; Jake went to sit with the musicians. The one missing was Haley; the other six noticed she wasn't there that day, or the rest of the week. Luke went to the principal in front of the rest of the school and asked where Haley was. He didn't have the attention until he yelled, "Haley dropped out?" That got the attention of all of them especially the old gang.

"No Mr. Roe, she's finishing online, while she lives in Nashville, Tennessee." The gang was all shocked at that, and didn't understand why she would move without telling them. Then they realized why, and decided they would act like they didn't care at all.
