Chapter 4

It had been almost a week since Haley and Lucas had talked.

H: I have tried to call Lucas so many times but all he does is ignore me and when he does pick up he hangs up on me before I get the chance to say anything to him.

P: I know its hard on you Haley, but think how he must feel when you told him that you didn't want to hang out with him as much.

H: I have thought about it and it tears me apart every time I think about how I hurt him last Monday. It was better for all of us and I had to make that decision because there was no way Lucas would have.

P: I talked to Nathan the other day and you two haven't been spending that much time together, since that fight with Lucas. How are you two doing I can see that Nathan is really falling for you, but I don't want to see either of you get hurt if something happens.

H: I like Nathan a lot and I love spending time with him, he is a different person around me he opens up to me and tells me things. He even started to be nicer to Lucas and they have a mutual agreement not to fight that much anymore. I would hate to be the one to ruin it for them.

P: How would you ruin it for them if you hang out with Lucas and Nathan then nothing will go wrong. You and Lucas have been friends forever and you have worked through everything. I see the way he looks at you and I know he cares for you a lot.

H: That's the thing he just cares about me.

P: What's wrong with that I would love to have friend who cares about me as much as Lucas does, but what is wrong with him caring.

H: There's nothing wrong forget about it.

P: No you have already given me so much you have to tell me the rest now.

H: fine but you can't tell anyone.

P: Trust me I won't say anything to anyone not even Brooke unless you say that it is ok. (Just then Lucas walked up but he heard Peyton and Haley talking and stood behind the corner so he could hear what was going on.)

H: Ok hear it goes. I love the fact that he cares about me so much I always have, but lately I have realized that I love him.

P: OOOOHHHH this is better than I thought do go on.

H: I love him so much that's why I can't spend a lot of time with Lucas anymore because things have changed. (Lucas hearing all of this felt his world shatter his best friend was in love with his brother and didn't want to hang out with him anymore he just walked away not knowing what to do)

P: Wow Haley that is deep I always thought there was something between you two.

H: I love Lucas, but he will never see me as more than a friend and she explained what happened in the seventh grade. After ending the story Haley just sat there and looked at her books.

P: You need to tell Lucas how you feel about him and tel Nathan something before he falls head over heals in love with you. By not telling him you are not only hurting yourself but also him and his future.

H: I think your right, but I don't know what I want to do about Nathan I really do like him a lot I guess I'll think about it over the weekend and do something on Monday. Thanks for all your help you are a great friend I really needed someone to talk to and who knows this may be the beginning of a beautiful relationship.

P: Your welcome and your right it is nice to be able to talk to someone that isn't on the cheerleading squad and isn't obsessed with guys. I'll talk to ya later I have to go meet Jake.

H: OK bye. How are things going between you and Jake these days?

P: They are wonderful and I love being with him and Jenny. Bye (and she walked off with a huge smile on her face.)

Haley knew she needed to do something soon about Nathan because she didn't want to lead him on when her heart wasn't in the relationship so she went in search of hi still not quite sure what she was going to say to him.
