Rated R for language only
After spending an hour in the Emergency Room they were finally able to leave. "Now Lucas I don't want to see you again for 3 weeks. Now get off of that ankle. Doctors orders. And you young lady need to be more careful. A pretty girl like you should be out having fun not sitting in a hospital room getting stitched up."
"Thanks Dr. West I think we both have had enough of the hospital for awhile." Lucas and Haley headed to the car in complete silence. The silence was finally broken by Lucas' cell phone. "Hey mom."
"Lucas don't hey mom me. Why aren't you in bed? If you're feeling better than you can just head on over here."
"Mom I am only out because Haley needed to go to the hospital. I took her and now we are headed back to the house. Stop worrying."
"Why did Haley have to go to the hospital, what happened to her?"
"Mom calm down she is fine, nothing a few stitches can't fix. She cut her hand on a big piece of glass. Listen mom we are fine I'll see you when you get home."
"Fine Lucas. But you be nice to her. You hear me. See ya at home."
Lucas hung up the phone and glanced at Haley. He felt so horrible for her, having to spend her Friday night in a hospital room. "You okay Hales?"
"Yeah Lucas can we just head back to the house. I am not feeling much up for partying."
"Sure we will head home and stay in tonight. If that is what you want."
They pulled into the driveway and went into the living room to watch a movie. Haley picked out, Win a Date With Tad Hamilton. She walked over to the VCR and slid the tape in and sat down next to Lucas.
"Come on Haley you know I hate chick flicks. My mom tried to make me watch this with her last night."
"Lucas it won't kill you. Now be quiet I am trying to watch the movie."
They got half way through the movie when Lucas started throwing his snide comments in. "Of course just ignore your best friend. The person that has always been there for you. For what some rich guy who will just break your heart."
"Come on Lucas she is infatuated give the girl a break."
"Hales come on all girls are like this. They go for the hot rich guy that is destined to break their hearts. Meanwhile they are stomping all over someone else's heart. Why is it all girls like assholes."
"Not all girls do Luke."
"That is what I used to think, until the one person I thought was different proved me wrong. Until you decided to date Nathan. Proving that all women like assholes."
"Lucas come on it was one date. And Nathan isn't an asshole. Why are you acting like this Luke?"
"Haley you know I hate him."
"Well it is about damn time we discussed this."
"Discussed what. The fact that you are no different from anyone else."
"Lucas you are my best friend in the world, I would hope you would know me better than that."
"I thought I did."
"Damn it Luke. Why are you acting like this? It was one date that is all and it didn't mean anything. Why are treating me like this? You are acting as if I did this to hurt you."
"Well you did hurt me. Haley it is killing me to see you with him."
"Why Lucas, is it that hard to accept that he likes me. Why does it bother you so much. You have never cared before who I dated. Why is this so different?"
"Because Haley he doesn't deserve you."
"And who would you approve of me dating Luke? I know you hate Nathan, but you are taking this all out on me. You are acting like I did it to hurt you."
"Well if that wasn't your intention, than why am I the one getting my heart broken."
"Wait a minute Luke, what are you talking about."
"Damn it Haley are you really that blind. I am the best friend. The best friend she will never see that way because she is in love with the asshole."
Haley started at Lucas in utter confusion. Trying to understand what was going on between them. She just stared at Lucas hoping he would clear it up for her.
"I love you okay. I am in love with you." And with that Lucas hobbled out the door to the truck and drove off.
