Author's Notes: Sorry I haven't written in awhile, I had a 225 point Geography project due and I had to work on it for about two weeks, so sorry it took so long to update. Here's another chapter, hope you liked the one before it. Sorry that the last chapter was so slow, I needed to make Brooke into the bad guy, and make her lose her baby. Hope you liked it. And I hope that you like this chapter. Get ready for a weird twist in the next couple of chapters.
Peyton awoke to the sound of her father, screaming into the phone. Lucas wasn't up yet, and she didn't want to disturb him. Peyton knew her dad wasn't yelling about Lucas being here, she'd had boys stay the night before. It wasn't anything new. Peyton threw on some sweatpants and jogged to where her dad's voice was wafting. He was standing in the living room, with only some shorts on. He had to work today, why wasn't he at work? And his foot was bleeding. What was going on?
He looked up at her with a worried, mad, strange expression on his face. He finished yelling into the phone, then looked back up at her.
"Dad, what happened? Why aren't you at work?"
"Honey, someone slammed into your car, and when I went to go get the mail and the paper this morning, the whole side was slammed in. I then cut my foot. Do you know who would have done this?" Her dad was furious, and she was happy that he was this worried about something of hers, even after she had gone and gotten pregnant.
Crap. Brooke was really mad last night. She could tell by her bitchy demeanor that she was pissed. That was the thing with Brooke. She could be mean without saying anything mean at all. That was what made her mad about Brooke. But Peyton never thought she could be this mean. This devilish. She guessed that Brooke had known that Luke stayed the night last night. It was pretty obvious. And this is the way she got revenge. Well, maybe Peyton could let it go, the girl had just found out that the love of her life was staying the night with her best friend. Maybe love had blinded her.
Brooke sat on her computer chair, looking at Peyton's web cam. The girl really needed to learn how to turn the damn thing off. It was getting her into a lot of trouble with her friends. But at least she could sit there and watch Luke sleeping like a peaceful baby. God, she hated Peyton. She had no respect for their friendship at all. If she thought she could just steal Luke away and get away with it, she was wrong. Brooke was not the kind of girl to sit around and cry. She wanted revenge. And she was going to get just that. Revenge.
Shopping sucked when you had no one to shop with, and that was just what Haley James was doing. Shopping alone. All alone. By herself. No friends, definitely no boyfriend. All by her lonesome. She wished everything could turn out okay. No, she wished everything could backtrack to the better days. When everyone and their mother wasn't pregnant. And when she had a best friend and loving boyfriend. She wished Nathan was here, she wished Luke would talk to her and give her the time of day. Or, she just wished that Luke would help her and be there for her. She wished that Peyton would pay attention to her, and get her head out of Luke's butt.
Maybe she was just being really selfish. But, she had a right to be. Everyone was leaving her, and she had a huge weight on her shoulders. She had to tell Nathan's mom that she was pregnant, along with everyone else. She hadn't even told Lucas or her parents. She couldn't tell anyone, she felt so stressed and crazed about it, she needed Nathan to be here to do it with her. And she knew that even though they were young, he would've been really excited and anxious for their baby.
Haley had to stop thinking about all this. She had to stop reminiscing about Nathan. She wasn't going to get the past back, and she was tearing herself up by just thinking about it. She was torturing herself, and she didn't know how to stop. She wondered what Peyton was doing. But she didn't wanna call, she figured Peyton would still be sleeping. Oh, well.
Haley wondered around the Tree Hill Mall, looking at all the cute shops and food stores. She went in a baby store. She picked up a cute little nightie, and a tear ran down her cheek. Then she looked at the price tag, and put it down. It was $25. How was she going to afford all this stuff? That was just one piece of clothing, much less necessities like a crib. Then she went off again, thinking of Nathan, and how she wished he was here with her.
