It's the afternoon of Christmas Eve and Haley is leaving that night. But, little does she know someone's trying to stop her. Liz is trying to be a little nicer to Haley. Will and Liz are barely talking.
Right now Haley's at her cousin Holly's house. They're decorating the Christmas tree.
" Are you enjoying it here in Port Royal?" Holly asks her cousin.
" I guess. But, I don't know. When I found out Will lived here I guess I was looking for I don't know, love I guess." Haley admitted quietly.
" But, he did stick up for you at the dinner party." Holly commented.
" I think he's mad at me. Because after the party Liz hasn't been talking to him." Haley said, " And I know I had something to do with that."
" If he does love you I'm sure he'll tell you today."
" I don't think he's gonna say anything. Elizabeth has him on a leash and he doesn't feel that way about me any ways."
" I'm sure he does."
" That was in our past."
Meanwhile.
Will is at the Port. He's talking to a captain; the captain of the ship Haley will be traveling on to go back home.
" Do not let a girl named Haley Taylor on this ship. She's about my age, shoulder length cinnamon brown hair that's layered, she has blue eyes. She's really pretty. Just don't let her on the boat. She's traveling to Star Oak." Will said.
" Yes, sir." The captain said as Will handed him three shillings.
" Thank you." Will said as he walked away. He wasn't gonna let Haley leave. He didn't know exactly why he wouldn't let her go. It was something he felt he needed to do. ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~**~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Haley walked up to the boat and the captain.
" I'm going to Star Oak." Haley said. " My name's Haley Taylor."
" I'm sorry you are not allowed to board. We're full." Said the captain, doing exactly what Will said to do.
" But, I need to go. I've paid for the ticket and I need to be home for the holidays." Haley pleaded.
" I'm sorry you're going to need to go on another boat." He said.
" When's the soonest I can get?" she asked.
" In about a week or two." The captain said.
" What?!" she said angrily.
" I'm sorry ma'am, it's the holidays." He said.
" Okay. Whatever." Haley sighed. She walked off into the street as snow fell on her hair. She threw her luggage on the ground and sat on it.
" Why is this happening to me?" Haley screamed into the sky. A tear somersaulted down her cheek. She wasn't crying because she wasn't able to go home, she was crying because of the situation with Will. A part of her still loved him, she hoped he felt the same way.
" Hey, you!" said Will as he sat beside her.
" Hey." Haley whimpered.
" What's wrong?" Will said drying her tear.
" I don't know." She cried.
" Something has to be wrong."
" It's just. It's nothing." She said burying her head in her hands.
" Hey, hey, hey." Will said as he hugged her. Haley rested her head on Will's shoulder. She inhaled and exhaled deeply.
" It's freezing out here. Come on lets get you inside." Will said as the two got up.
Will led her into the Blacksmith's shop. He started a fire in the fireplace/fire pit. Haley sat down comfortable with a blanket wrapped around her.
" You shouldn't be out there in the snow." Will said.
" I know it's just that my boat to back home was full and I'm can't get another one for a week or two." She muttered as she rubbed her cherry red nose.
" I see." He said feeling a little guilty.
" I should be going back to my cousin's house. She'll be worried." Haley said.
" She lives on the other side of town. Why don't you stay at my place?" Will offered.
" Sure." Haley said.
The two are at his house. Will is sleeping on the floor with a few blankets and a pillow. And Haley is on as bed. Will is snoring really loud. Haley rolls her eyes at throws a pillow over her head.
It's Christmas day and Haley left early to go to her cousin's house. Carols are in the streets singing, children have snowball fights, people stand around Christmas tree's opening presents, and couples hug and kiss around the mistletoe. Soon, night falls over Port Royal. The stars glisten as well as the snow.
" Merry Christmas, Will." Haley whispers as she looks into the star lit sky wondering what Will is doing right now.
