Chapter 4

Karen dialed the number and waited for Keith to answer. "Hey Karen."

"Keith let me talk to Luke. How is he?"

"Karen he's fine. He severly sprainged it but nothing is broken. The doctor told him he had to stay off of it for 4 weeks unless he tells him otherwise. We're headed to pick up his pain medicine and crutches."

"So no cast, right?"

"Nope. Well an air cast to support the ankle. But he can take it off and put it back on. Listen Karen talk to Luke while I sign his papers."

"Hey mom. Sorry to freak you out."

"It's not your fault Luke. Should me and Haley head there or to the house?"

"Mom why is she with you. Tell her to go get ready for her date."

"No Luke you tell her."

Karen handed the phone to Haley praying Lucas would be nice. "Hey Luke. You all right?"

"I'm fine Hales, just go home and get ready. I'll see you at the party. I'm just going to go home to shower and change."

"But Luke."

"No butts Haley. I wouldn't want you to keep your date waiting. I'll see you there. Bye."

Haley stared at the phone. What had just happened? Luke was being so cold. Karen hugged her as they walked to the car. Knowing all to well that Luke was trying to hurt Haley to punish her for going on this date with Nathan.

"Sweetie just ignore him. The one thing he got from Dan is his stubborn streak. Tried to break him of it but it is impossible."

"I don't feel right going before I see Luke. But I don't want to make him any madder than he already is."

"Haley, I'll drop you off at home and you two can talk there."
