Ch. 6 Let Me Be the One
Lucas quickly ran to his car and drove to the one place he knew Haley would be at if she hadn't left already. He started thinking of what to say to her if he found her. After a short drive, he abruptly parked his car in front of the building and dashed towards his and Haley's special place. He prayed that Haley visited this place one last time before she left.
As he reached the top of the roof, he saw her. Haley. His best friend looked up at him upon hearing his footsteps, her eyes strained with despair. "Hey buddy."
So you're scared to show your feelings
Baby I do understand I don't make a promise I can't keep
I vow to be a real good friend
Haley winced at the friendly term. A term she had grown to love and hate all at the same time. "Hi," Haley managed to say, as she looked at the person standing in front of her who was trying to catch his breath.
In those big green eyes I see a glow of love
I just hope that I'm the one you're dreamin' of
The way the moonlight reflected her face left Lucas in awe of Haley's natural beauty. Of course he always thought she was beautiful, but he told himself that it was in a sisterly way until tonight. He realized that he made himself think that way because he didn't want to ruin the friendship. Seeing Haley as only his friend would not ruin the friendship he valued with his life. Once he saw how the moonlight caused a halo affect on Haley, he knew that that image of her at the moment would be one he would always treasure.
Let me be the one to love you
Oh, let me be the one to care
Let me be the one to light your flame
Oh baby, oh baby Let me be the one
Unlike Peyton and Brooke, Haley didn't need make-up to make her look gorgeous, because Haley looked just as gorgeous without make-up than they did with it. And it wasn't just her beauty he amazed him, it was her soul. She was the most caring, loving, faithful and intelligent person he knew. He knew that Haley didn't think that she was anything special. She thought of herself as average, but average was something Hales wasn't. She had all the qualities he looked for in his ideal girl. She even surpassed all the characteristics that he hoped his dream girl would possess. He couldn't help but realize what an idiot he had been. The girl of his dream was right in front of him all along and he was oblivious to it.
We spend all our time together
We can't stand to sleep alone
When you say you have to leave for now
I miss you before you're gone
"Luke. Are you okay?" Haley asked, concern evident in her voice.
All the things Lucas had planned to say left his mind. Instead, he spoke to her, expressing his feelings he felt at the moment as he moves towards. Only when he was standing right in front of her did he start to speak.. "No. How can I be when you're leaving me?"
"I'm not leaving you, I'm leaving Tree Hill."
"It's the same thing isn't it?" He waited for Haley to respond, but when she didn't, he continued to talk. "Haley, I need you to be here by my side. Always."
All along we thought this was absurd
Every moment that we spend goes by too fast
Darlin', darlin' take this chance with me
Cause I have eyes only for you
Oh baby
"I know it's going to be har-." Haley began to say before Lucas covered her mouth with two of his fingers.
"Please just listen to what I have to say," Lucas managed to say when all he could think about was Haley's warm breath upon his fingers.
Haley's heart skipped a beat. The gentle touch of his fingers caused all the feelings she thought she had buried for her best friend a long time ago to resurface.
Let me be the one to love you
Oh let me be the one to care
Let me the be the one to light your flame
Oh baby, c'mon, let me be the one
"I want...need you to be my best friend and my soul mate." Lucas poured his heart out, hoping that the love of his life felt the same way. He didn't know what he would do if she rejected him. All he knew was that he had to tell her how he felt and he was relieved that he finally got the chance to do so.
Haley thought she heard Lucas incorrectly. It was like one of her countless dreams she had of Lucas.
"What did you just say?" Haley didn't want to jump to any conclusions without having him clarify to her what he just said.
"What I'm trying to say Hales is that I love you."
Let me be the one to love you
Let me be the one who cares
Let me be the one to light your flame
Oh baby, c'mon, let me be the one
"I love you too Luke."
Realizing that he wasn't being clear enough for Haley to understand, he tried once more to convey his feelings for her.
"What I meant was that I do love you, but I'm also in LOVE WITH YOU!" Lucas eagerly waited for her response. He felt his palm becoming sweaty from being so nervous around Haley, which was a first for him.
"I...I don't know what to say Luke." Haley always wanted to hear these words but was afraid that Lucas wasn't interpreted his feelings accurately.
Don't be scared to show your feelings
Cause baby I do understand
I don't make no promises that I can't keep
I vow to be a real good man
Lucas lifted Haley's head towards him, willing her to look at him. "Well...you can tell me how you feel."
"It doesn't matter because you're confused." Haley stated to Lucas, unsure about what to make of the information she just received.
All along we thought that this was so absurd
Every moment that we spend goes by too fast
Darlin', darlin' take this chance with me
Cuz I have eyes only for you
"I've never been more sure of myself than now. I'm in love with you. Don't you believe me?" Lucas looked deep into Haley's eyes. He was searching for any indication that she may feel the same way. Unfortunately, he wasn't able make out anything.
"Look. I understand why you're confused. My departure is making you think you have feelings for me as more than a friend, but that's not the case." Haley managed to choke out. She could feel the tears threatening to fall. Why did he have to get her hopes up? She knew that he didn't really love her in that way.
"That's not true. Yes, you're departure made me realize how I truly feel, but what I feel is real. I always loved you but was too stupid to realize it. I know it and I think that deep down inside you know it too." 'How can she not see how much I care about her?' thought Lucas as he let go of her face.
Let me be the one to love you
Let me be the one who cares
Let me be the one to light your flame tonight
Oh baby, baby, baby
"Why now? If you do love me that way, you wouldn't have waited this long. You wouldn't have chosen Peyton and Brooke before you chose me." Lucas felt his heart ache at the pain he could hear in her voice when she mentioned his two previous relationships.
"I'm sorry that it didn't work out between you and Peyton or you and Brooke. What you're feeling now is a love for a best friend. You're confusing loving someone with being in love with someone. It's a common mistake. So don't worry about it. I'll pretend that I didn't hear what you just said."
Lucas instinctively grabbed her face with both hands and kissed her gently on her soft, delectable lips.
Let me be the one to love you
Let me be the one who cares
Let me be the one to light your flame tonight
Oh
He was savoring the taste of her lips on his, but quickly broke away from the kiss when Haley didn't return the kiss. When he regained his composure, he saw a terrified look in Haley's face. He looked in the direction where Haley was looking at to find his brother watching in utter disgust with what just happened.
