Chapter 5
Haley just spotted Nathan standing at his locker with a group of friends. Lucas who was looking for Haley to talk to her and figure this whole thing out saw Haley walking up to Nathan.
N: hey Babe how are things your way? As he pulled her into a hug and kiss. (Lucas saw this and felt his heartbreak he didn't know why but he had to get out of there to think. Suddenly all these feelings were showing up that he hadn't realized he had felt before and just walked away)
H: Good Look I need to talk to you.( As she motioned to his friends.) Meet me in the tutoring center in ten minutes she said and gave him a peck on the cheek.
N: (not really knowing what was up he agreed and since he was worried he quickly departed from his friends) I'll see ya later guys I gotta go. (And went to see what was wrong)
Nathan just walked into the Library in search of Haley he spotted her over in the corner and went and sat down.
H: before you say anything I have to tell you something and it is very difficult because I care a lot for you and I don't want you to get hurt.
N: Haley what's going on here?
H: I'm trying to tell you, but you have to promise not to interrupt me until I'm done talking.
N: Okay I promise ( still a little unsure of what was going on)
H: I like you Nathan I really do, but my heart belongs to someone else and it always will. I am sorry to do this to you but I have gotten to know the real you and I really want to be friends if that is what you want.
N: I like you, but I am not sure if I can be just friends with you, you brought out the good in me and no one else can see it. H: that's not true Peyton even told me that she had noticed a difference in you and I know other people do too. You will find another girl for you one that is right for you. I will still tutor you because I like hanging out with you but I can't be your girlfriend I am so sorry to do this to you.
N: it's okay he said (putting on a brave face trying not to show just how much pain he was in) So who is this guy that has stolen your heart?
H: It's no one that you know and that doesn't matter.
N: It's Lucas isn't it? (He knew the answer before he even asked but he wanted to hear it form her first)
H: Yes it's Lucas, but he doesn't know that I like him he just sees me as a friend and I think that is all I will ever be to him. He has Brooke now what does he want with me? N: don't even think that you are better than Brooke could ever be for Lucas he doesn't get that twinkle in his eye when ever he sees her like I see when you walk into a room he is in. You need to tell Lucas and soon I know he feels the same way about you as you do him, but he needs to hear what you feel from you.
H: thanks Nathan I am really glad that you and I can be friends and don't worry I won't tell anyone how sensitive you can be she joked.
N: thanks Haley that means a lot( he said sarcastically) I think your right I am happy just being friends and don't be to hard on Lucas after all he is only a man and you know how we guys can act sometimes:-)
H: Thanks for everything ( she got up and hugged him)
N: bye he said getting up and walking out of the Library.
Haley sat there for a while and decided that everyone was right and she need to find a way to tell Lucas how she felt.
Meanwhile not knowing that Lucas was walking by the library on his way out of school she got up to go home. When she walked outside she saw Lucas and not wanting to face him yet she started to walk away when she heard Brooke. What Haley didn't know was that Lucas was having the same thoughts when he met up with Brook and when he saw her he decided he needed to break up with her
B: Hey boyfriend what are we doing tonight?(she walked up to Lucas and pushed him against the wall and passionately kissed him) (When Haley saw this she ran down out the school in the other direction crying not thinking that she was to late and that Lucas had already found happiness)
L: (he pushed Brooke away who didn't notice a thing and said) Look Brooke we need to talk.
B: What's going on?(completely oblivious to the fact that he was acting different)
L: I have a lot of feelings that I need to work through and I don't want to string you along. I like you Brooke I really do, but my heart is with someone else and I don't want you to get even more hurt if I don't end this now.
B: I don't understand how can you not like me I am what every guy wants and you have the nerve to turn me down. Well you just lost the best ting n your Life Lucas Scott and you will never get me back. ( with that she just walked away most likely in search of Tim)
Lucas just went home after that and tried to sort through his feelings not knowing what Haley had just seen.
