Whispered Secrets
Chapter (12) Whispered Secrets
A/N: This is the last chapter for whispered secrets. I never have been able to do a long story, I don't know why, probably because I'm impatient, but anyway thanks to all who have read and reviewed. What's next? Well I'm in a song fic mood and I have about three lined up then I'm going back to the regular fics, actually I already have one in mind but since music is my first love lol and some songs I think fit Lucas and Haley well have caught my attention and my ears I'm going to get them out the way. So please keep an eye out. Thanks!
Anyway here's the last chapter…..
Lucas jogged up the stairs leading to the mini golf coarse he opened the already cracked door as he felt the cool breeze plunge against him. He saw Haley just standing there with her back turned to him as she looked out into the darkened sky. Her hair blowing mindlessly this way and that, as she hugged tightly against her coat in efforts to keep warm. He wasn't even sure if she heard the door, if she even knew he was behind her. He didn't want to startle her so he called out her name.
Lucas: Hales?
Haley: Luke (she trying to say normally, trying so hard not to let him hear her voice drenched with tears as her face was)
Haley didn't turn around but he knew she heard him. Her hands unraveled from the clutches of her coat and he saw as she moved her hands to her face. Wiping it in fast strokes. Then he knew exactly what she was doing. She was crying and she was trying to wipe her eyes so he wouldn't see that she was crying. Lucas walked over beside her and she finally turned to look at him.
Lucas saw her eyes, he saw that strained smile she gave him. He would not let her hide, not this time. He wanted her to know that she didn't have to hide from him, that she didn't have to be brave and act like everything was okay when it obviously wasn't.
Haley: I really need to find another place, you always know where to find me. (she said trying to joke and to steer Lucas away from the question she knew he was about to ask)
Lucas: Haley, what's wrong? ( he looked down at her with this concerned face and it even though she didn't want him to ask, in some way knowing that he cared, comforted her)
Haley: Nothing (she said making herself look away from his eyes, knowing that even if he didn't see the pain in her eyes, he knew her to well to leave it at that.) She was shocked when he made her look at him, he looked in his eyes as if he was looking for something.
Lucas: It's not nothing, I can see it in your eyes. Why do you always do that?
Haley: do what?
Lucas: you act like everything's fine, that's there's nothing wrong. You don't have to be so strong around me you can let go, you can cry in front of me and not go running every time you get tired of putting on this face, when you can't be strong any more.
Haley: I went running because I don't want to talk (she said her voice become a little louder, she didn't want to talk about this but he was making her)
Lucas: about what? (Lucas asked in a soft voice)
Haley: about you leaving, about me leaving. We'll say that we'll still remain the best of friends. That even though our lives have changed, nothing will change between us. And we will try to make each other believe that holidays and some weekends are enough, (her voice now drizzling with tears, as they came down her face again) But we'll both now that once you board that plane, and once I leave to board my plane that everything we'll change, that time doesn't stand still for life long friends, that phone calls won't be enough compared to what were used, to what I'm used to. And maybe not even a week after you're gone I'll even miss that smirk of yours, I'll miss our daily banter. And we'll both realize that the small things that we took for granted have become so big because we had to do with out. But all of that doesn't matter because (as she tried to speak through her un wavering cries) nothing can change the fact that your leaving tomorrow and I'll be leaving shortly after. So really all of this was pointless because it didn't change any thing, everything it still exactly the same. (She looked at Lucas even through her watery eyes)
Lucas felt the pain run through him at how truthful her words were. He didn't want to face the reality of them parting, but right then and there he had to.
Lucas: (he was trying maybe harder then he should from letting the liquid fall from his eyes., but his voice was already soaked with the un fallen tears)
You think I want to talk about this? (he said making sure she held his eyes as he moved a strand of her that was waving violently with the, wind behind her ear) I don't. It hurts like hell, with out having to even having to mention it. But I couldn't just leave tomorrow with out letting you know that yeah things
will change but we can do it, were a team remember. Together we can handle anything. Remember we made that promise right here and were going to keep that promise right here and now. Best friends forever right?
Haley: no
Lucas: what? (he felt his heart sank in his chest, he couldn't take all of this. This was enough pain to last him a life time.
Haley: I don't want to be best friends for ever, I can't be best friends with you.
Lucas: Why
Haley: I love you (she said a low voice, still looking in his eyes. This time she wanted him to see the truth)
Lucas; I love you to but you're not making any sense.
Haley: I'm in love with you ( she searched his eyes, she doesn't know what she's looking for but anything that can give her an answer to the questions running through her head)
Lucas said nothing but when he felt he the movement in his body again he kissed her. Soft and sweet at first but then it intensified as he kissed her with all the love he had for her, and made up for all the times he wanted to taste her lips. She kissed him back with the same force the same need. He silently cursed himself when they had to pull away because air became sufficient.
Lucas: I love you too Hales ( he said when he could finally breathe regularly again. As he wrapped his arms around her , kissing her hair lightly)
Luke: Hales?
Haley: yeah?
Lucas: you were wrong about earlier. Everything is not exactly the same. (he smiled at her. before he kissed her again, and just then as if on cue the rain fell, poured down soaking them but they didn't care. They just held each other while looking up into the crying sky. They listened to the pounding of the rain hitting the ground, they even heard the whisper of the wind against the rain. Normally something that would have been missed, drowned out in noise that was meant as a distraction. But if you listen close enough you can hear it, you could feel it. They both smiled as the water ran down their faces because this place had always been special. Had always had secrets, contained secrets. And it was funny how they had never paid
attention before. How they never really listened before. But tonight was different, they listened they heard the secrets that even they, themselves kept. But maybe it wasn't a secret at all. Maybe they told it by the way they touched by the look in their eyes, by everything they did, it just wasn't loud enough to reach the ears, but it was there, much like whispered secrets.
