Lucas and Peyton didn't want to be there, while Haley and Nathan were
fighting, so they walked out of the room, as Haley stood there waiting for
Nathan to finish his sentence.
"Its ... WHAT NATHAN?" Haley had a stern expression on her face, "Spit it
out!"
"Its not true Haley, I haven't seen her since the summer I swear."
Haley chuckled bitterly, "So why would she come here and make up such a
horrible lie."
"I don't know Haley." He Shrugged.
"Nathan that's such bullshit, you know why so please just tell me! Why
would she say you had sex with her 2 damn days ago?"
Nathan paused, contemplating his words. "Because she's a bitch! Look she
hates me okay? I broke up with her so I could get back with Peyton, and I
guess she wants you to break up with me, so I'm hurt like I hurt her."
"Fine Nathan, but why now? All of a sudden why would she do it now?"
Nathan grew aggravated, wondering why Haley didn't believe him. "HALEY I
TOLD YOU I DON'T KNOW WHY." He yelled, throwing his hands up in defense.
Haley almost fell back at his words, obviously stunned with his tone of
voice. "Does she mean anything to you?" She yelled.
"NO, you mean everything to me! I would never think of cheating on you, I
love you Haley." He looked at her compassion in his eyes, walked over to
her grabbing her hand and softly rubbing circles into her palm.
She tried not to smile, loving Nathan's touch. She gave a sigh and
gradually pulled her hand away. "I just don't know whether to believe you
or not." She looked any where but him; suddenly her shoes interested her.
"I love you."
"Nathan I love you and that's why this is so hard!" She sighed once more,
sitting on the couch. "I believe you love me." she started, that small
doubt in her eyes. "But maybe not enough."
Nathan's heart broke into a thousand different pieces. "Oh." He looked down
at the floor, fighting back the tears that stung at his eyes. "But it is."
He said quietly, so quiet that Haley almost didn't hear.
She looked at him, tears swelling in his eyes and hers already burned
vigorously from previous tears. She winced as if in pain, as she watched
him look away from her. "I don't know." She spit out softly.
"What does this mean?" Nathan was tired, not knowing what else to do or
say. "Are you saying you can't trust me?"
Haley wanted to say no, but her mind said otherwise. "I don't know."
A thousand little splinters poked at Nathan's rapidly beating heart. He
caught her eye contact and broke it quickly. "Do you want this to be over?"
She sighed, tears flowing from her eyes. "I don't know anything Nathan."
He sighed; why was she being so selfish? Couldn't she see his love for her?
"Yes or no?" He asked more impatient this time, eyes concentrated on a spot
on the wall.
"Can you please look at me?" Haley cried.
Nathan shook his head slowly. "Yes or no?" He asked again.
"I don't want things to be over Nathan but." The tears over whelmed her;
she looked to the floor.
He looked up at her, catching her image in his mind one more time. She
would never trust him and he couldn't live with that. "That's all I needed
to hear." He turned around and walked out of the door; hopefully only
temporarily out of Haley's life.
The truth was Haley was scared, always had been and always will be. She
sighed, crumbled her self into a ball and lay on Peyton's bed. The tears
unfortunately still flowed, even as she made her way into dreamland.
Meanwhile.
In the next room Peyton and Lucas were talking about what happened.
"Lucas did he fuck that slut?"
"He says he didn't, but I don't know; I hope he didn't."
"If he hurts her I'll kill him; Haley has been the only real friend I've
ever had and I don't want to see her hurt." Peyton sighed, sitting on the
coach.
"Peyton believe me I know, she's been my best friend for so long. Then
again he's my brother and I don't know anymore."
"Lucas." Peyton sighed in disbelief. " Haley has been your best friend for
so long; you said it yourself, and yes Nathan's your brother, but you both
only recently embraced that."
"Yea I know and I don't want to lose it; I don't want to lose either one."
"Lets just hope their okay."
"I know." Lucas sighed, a frown coming over his features.
"So how was the party?"
"It Sucked, how was your night."
"It was good, until that whore showed up," Peyton paused "So why did the
party suck."
"Brook was there, hunting me down as usual and a half hour later Nathan's
ex showed up."
"Brooke again, god Luke I'm going to like hit her seriously."
"Baby that's what she wants, she wants to get to us and we can't let her."
"You're right, I love you so much Lucas."
"I Love you too psycho" Lucas Laughed
"Hey why am I a psycho!"
"Because your proposing violence on a loser." Peyton laughed as Nathan
walked in, serious expression on his face.
Nathan turned to Lucas, tears stinging at his eyes; thinking of what just
happened in the other room with Haley.
"My mom called while I was leaving. She wants us to go back to my place."
"I'm not going there." Lucas sighed, scratching his head. "Hey what
happened with you and Haley?"
Nathan shook his head. "Don't want to talk about it and you have to come,
its serious."
"Why?" Lucas tensed up.
"Well, apparently our dad and uncle Keith are in jail."
"Why?" Lucas looked puzzled and stood up.
"No clue, but their in there with Tim's Father and Uncle."
"This is great." Lucas said annoyed.
"I know, lets go." Nathan walked out the door.
"Okay" He turned to Peyton "I'm sorry, I'll call you as soon as I can."
Nathan and Lucas drove to Nathan's house and walked inside.
"Mom, where are you?"
"I'm in the kitchen honey."
Nathan and Lucas walked into the Kitchen.
"What happened?"
"Well, I'm sure you boys know that when your father and uncle were in high
school they didn't really get
along with Tim's dad and uncle."
"Yea we know." The boys sighed at the same time.
"Well, I don't even remember what it was about, but they carried it on all
these years. Anyway tonight Keith wanted to talk to your father so they
meet at the little bar on River Street, and Tim's Father and Uncle were
there. They started saying something's to your dad and uncle, and I guess
all the tension just built up to a point where they couldn't hold it any
longer and they all attacked each other." Deb shrugged, not sounding like
she cared too much. "I'm worried that Tim and his brother, will try to do
something to you boys."
"Mom don't worry we will be fine."
"I don't want you two doing anything stupid, especially you Lucas. I don't
want your mom to think that she can't go away because you are getting into
trouble, do you two understand me?"
"Yes we understand." They both chirped.
"Okay why don't you boys go to bed, I think you two should stay here the
rest of the night."
Nathan and Lucas agreed.
Nathan and Lucas were talking in Nathan's room.
"Nathan, Tim's not going to try anything right? I mean were friends with
the kid."
"I don't know man, you don't know him and his brother like I do, something
like this and I can pretty much bet my life on it, Monday at school Tim
will not be talking to us." Nathan said, also acting as if he didn't care
too much. "Whatever." He shrugged, his mind focused on Haley.
"You don't think there going to try and fight us do you?"
"Tell you the truth I don't know."
"Well, you think this night could get any worse?"
"No dude no, definitely not." Nathan sighed, plummeting to his bed. "We
broke up." He said referring to Haley and him.
Lucas looked at his brother, a questioning look on his face. "You slept
with the girl?" he asked, his tone growing.
"Haley could never trust me and I don't want to give my heart to someone
that cant give it fully back."
Nathan didn't answer Lucas's question. "I mean I love her, but shell never
love me unless she trusts me."
"So, you didn't?"
"It doesn't matter Lucas, were over."
"You can't mean that!" Lucas sighed, "Can you?"
"It hurts to think that she'll be spying on me and everyday wondering what
I'm doing or where I am."
"So it's really over." Lucas looked at the floor, as if it could give
answers.
Nathan didn't say anything; he just turned away and closed his eyes.
Meanwhile.
Peyton walked along the lake, heading toward the promenade and leading to
the ally that goes to her house. The moon was bright in the sky and she
needed fresh air. She let Haley stay asleep; figuring the poor girl needed
it.
Walking into the Alley, she heard footsteps behind her and when she turned
around no one was in sight. She sighed, figuring her imagination was
playing tricks on her. Suddenly, she was grasped by forceful hands, pushed
to the ground and felt the weight of a person on top of her. She cried,
thrashed and struggled, but suddenly the scene faded into darkness. Thank
god.
