Part 2
Haley stumbled up the stairs.
'Thank God for those couple of seconds that I was able to tell off Lucas. I didn't stutter and I didn't trip over myself,' she thought as she tried to walk.
Haley finally reached the top of the stairs and began to walk down the hallway to Nathan's room. She finally arrived at Nathan's and she opened the door. Through the help of the sun she could see into his room. She saw that Nathan lay on the bed in a pensive state. When he heard someone open the door, he saw that it was Haley.
"Thank you for not telling Lucas about us," she told him with difficulty, still a little buzzed.
Nathan looked up at the person who interrupted his thoughts and he saw that it was Haley. He looked over at her approaching figure and observed that she still was a little drunk.
"Haley," he said as he got up and held her steady from falling.
"Thank you," she responded again as Nathan led her to his bed.
"No problem," he replied as they finally reached the bed. "Lay down," he told her.
She did as she was told while Nathan took off her shoes and set them on the floor. Nathan walked over to the closet and he pulled out a blanket. He put the blanket over her and covered her.
"Nathan," she uttered as she opened her eyes and looked directly at him. "Thank you," she added as she abruptly began to kiss him.
He immediately got on the bed by Haley without breaking contact with her lips. The kisses got deeper and more intense.
"Nathan…"
She abruptly separated from him and laid back down on the bed.
"What the hell?" Nathan replied, stunned at Haley's sudden break of contact.
Nathan looked down at Haley's quiet form.
'Mind as well get sleep,' Nathan thought as he lay down after the shock. Haley suddenly turned around and cuddled up with him. She laid her head down on his chest as if using it as a pillow. He responded by putting his arm around her petite body.
'I can get used to this,' Nathan thought to himself with a smile appearing on his face.
He rested on the bed with Haley in his arms, reminiscing about their unexpected relationship, acknowledging that he wanted something more with her. He looked back at Haley's sleeping form, kissed her forehead, and drifted off to sleep.
Part 3-Lucas and Peyton-
Lucas sat stunned at Haley's abrupt burst moments ago. He couldn't believe that Haley had said those things, but he knew, in the back of his mind, that everything she alleged was true. He knew that today he didn't talk to her because he was frustrated at her reaction when he kissed her. He thought that she had wanted the same thing that moment, but when he pulled away he could still remember her astonished, but also mistaken expression. He too was aware that something was going on with her and Nathan.
"Why do you keep pushing her?" asked Peyton, interrupting his thoughts.
"What?" he asked confused.
"You!" she said pointing at him when she stood up. "Why can't you just accept that there is something between them?" she asked him raged because of his attitude towards Haley.
"You mean accept that MY BEST FRIEND is falling for MY ENEMY?" he asked, getting mad.
"YES!" she yelled as she began to walk out. "You can't control who you fall in love with Lucas," she added quietly before walking out.
"PEYTON!" he called out as he chased her and grabbed her arm when he attained her.
"What Lucas?" she asked madly as she turned around and faced him.
"Why don't you?" he inquired her as he looked at her intense.
"Why don't I what?" she asked annoyed.
"Why don't you also admit it?"
"Admit WHAT?"
"Admit that you are also falling for me," he retorted quietly.
"What are you talking about?" she asked, shifting her feet and looking away from him.
She and he knew that what he was saying was true.
"Just because you are friends with Brooke does not mean that you have to sacrifice your own happiness. I know," he stated leaning in closer, "that you also want to be happy and I know that the way of being happy is by following you feelings," he said as he lifted her face and made her look at him.
"But Brooke is my best friend. She's been with me since I could remember. She was with me when my mom died and I can't just backstab her by taking something of hers," she truthfully told him.
"You and I know that what was going on between me and Brooke wasn't going to last that long," he told her as he kept on looking directly to her eyes.
"Maybe…but…" she responded confused of all the emotions inside of her.
Lucas abruptly closed the space between them by kissing her. He kissed her with all the feelings he had locked up inside him. He had wanted to be with her for so long and now he knew that they could finally be together.
"Feelings," he uttered as he pulled away from her and began to kiss her again.
Impulsively Peyton responded back to him by accepting the kiss and began to kiss him harder. She craved to be with him and she knew that the way of following her feelings would lead her to consequences with her best friend. However, she also apprehended that she deserved to be happy for one time in her life. She had always given Brooke whatever she wanted and now it was her turn.
"See," he said as he pulled away and tried to catch a breath of fresh air, "just act on instinct and follow you feelings."
"Lucas…" she called out to him as she looked at his eyes.
"Yeah?"
"I'm going to talk to Brooke," she told him as she pulled away.
"Are you sure?" he asked as he looked at her with concern.
"Yeah, if she is my true friend then she should understand," she responded a little uneasy, "hopefully."
She began to walk away, but turned around and kissed Lucas again.
"Thank you," she told him as she pulled away.
"For what?" he asked puzzled.
"For making me happy," she replied as she gave him a smile and walked to her, hopefully, best friend's room.
