Part 5
Haley glanced out the window watching as the rain pelted down onto the ground outside. What a mucky day it was, it was sort of like her mood. She missed having Lucas to talk to. She had tried visiting, tried calling but he was never around or conveniently missing. It seemed he didn't want her around or wanted to deal with her. She didn't know what to do. Even if she was to stop tutoring Nathan, which she wasn't going to anytime soon, what good would that do? It would just be giving up. but was that worth losing Luke over.
She knew this was a touchy subject before she got into it, that's why she never wanted Lucas to find out. Unfortunately it had backfired on her and all that she seemed to have left was her resolve that she was doing the right thing. Did she really want to lose Lucas over this? She originally had offered to tutor Nathan on the grounds that the hazing on Lucas would stop and it had. She had also come across something that she didn't plan on.
She liked spending time with Nathan; she saw something beyond his high and mighty driven ego. If only Lucas could see that, but she didn't really expect him too. This was a torture of her own making.
"Hales?" a voice she hadn't expected to hear.
"Luke?" she said uncertainly.
She got up from the chair she had been resting in. "How did you get in here."
Haley was dressed in her pj's and nobody had been home except for her all day. She was surprised that Lucas had managed to find a way into her house.
"The door was unlocked, I knocked but nobody answered so you know, I let myself in as I've always done."
"God Luke, I've missed you." She said as she rushed to him but stopped looking at him uncertainly.
He smiled at her and held out his arms and she rushed to him give him a hug.
"I missed you too Hales." He whispered into her hair. "Let's never fight again, k?"
"I never wanted to fight in the first place, I'm sorry I thought I was doing the right thing. I didn't want to hurt you. I just wanted to make the hazing stop."
They finally let go of one another and Lucas smiled slightly at her. "I know, and it's okay. It took me awhile, I still don't understand. but I don't think I have to. Just if he hurts you, I'll kill him."
"Luke! He's not going to hurt me!? There's nothing to hurt, I'm just tutoring him!"
"Just be careful Hales, I missed you. It's been hell not hanging out with you. I think that's the longest we've ever gone without each other."
"Yeah well you're just too pig headed for your own good! But I forgive you anyway." Haley said while playfully punching him.
"Gee thanks."
Lucas shook his head, she obviously didn't see it. She didn't seem to see what was happening between her and Nathan. It confirmed his original thought that she was in denial. It was obvious by the way Nathan talked to him about her and the way she had defended him that there was something going on. Maybe even both of them couldn't see it yet. He would be lying if he said he didn't want it to stay that way. Though he was confident that Nathan at least wasn't out to get her, so as long as nothing bad happened between those two he could accept that. He and Nathan were another matter.
