"Ah!" Nathan screamed, backing up and slamming the door in front of him.

Lucas frowned, eyebrow arched. "What the hell happened?"

"There's fucking green slimy things in our room man!" Nathan started walking away, rather quickly. He shook his head frantically, too much to drink.  "That couldn't be the right room," he muttered.

The eldest brother grinned, opening the door to the bedroom and revealing the faces of three slimy creatures. "Nathan," he called to his brother; who was already making his way to the elevator. "Man, its only Bo, Peyt and Hales," he pronounced in between laughs.

"Face masks are terribly ugly," Nathan pouted, crossing his arms to his chest and trying to drown out the sounds of Brooke's laughter. "Bo, will you shut up already?"

"You know my mouth never closes Nathan," she smirked and plummeted on the bed beside him.

His frown disappeared and the corners of his lips rose, revealing a big fat grin. "Yeah, I know," he responded sarcastically.

"You would," Lucas almost died laughing.

Brooke pouted, throwing a pillow at Lucas and smacking Nathan in the arm. "Shut up, shut up."

After Lucas finished his last set of laughs he sighed, looking around the room. "Where did the girls say they were going again?"

"To get pizza, the buzzer thingy for the food isn't working," she gestured to the telephone.

"I knew those ladies were good for something," Nathan chuckled, rubbing his stomach.

Haley took a bite into the ice cream, the cold burned her teeth and she hissed. "You ever know that your not suppose to get into something, but you have the strangest sensation to try?"

A giggle escaped Peyton's lips, "Of course, but I always seem to give up."

Haley shrugged, "Eventually, the cold dies out and you're left with nothing but pure flavor." She bit into it once more, this time rather fond of her response. "I have a feeling were not talking about ice cream any more, where did we go wrong with the guys?"

"You mean in general… or the Scott brothers?" A sly smile spread across her lips, "I don't know Hales, I'm just this big scared soul and you… well I don't know about you."

She furrowed her eyebrows, a frown appearing on her lips. "Why are you so scared?"

The blonde shrugged. "I guess it's because I don't want to feel the pain…of lose," she hesitated, sitting down on a bench. "After my mom died I never wanted anyone to feel that pain, but most of all I never wanted to feel that pain again. I'm not as strong as I look, you know?" she looked into Haley's understanding brown eyes.

She replied with a nod, sitting beside Peyton. "You are strong, but you cant always hide your self from pain or torment. It has a way of finding you regardless of how much you're hiding," she chuckled, "trust me, I know."

"I know," she twirled her finger around a curl, "I lost Lucas and when I thought it was for the best, I realized it caused more pain for me than I intended, more pain for him as well."

Silence.

"Hales, I just don't want to have another person walk out my life," silent tears formed in her eyes. 

A frown crept over the brunette's lips, "I know, I know." She embraced her friend in an intense hug, "I just want you to be happy and it won't make you happy walking out a persons life just so that person cant walk out of yours. Find your happiness and if you really love this soon to be fiancée of yours… you'll feel the need to stay."

"I know," Peyton sniffed, "what about you?"

Haley shrugged, "what about me Pey? I have a stalker ex boyfriend and no kind of life. As to be expected from me, I have a great career ahead of me and no sign of a love life," she chuckled bitterly. "I'll survive."

"What about Nathan? The man is still in love with you."

"No," she shook her head, "he's not."

"Yes, he is."

"He thinks he is, but that's only because we never got our real chance. He'll be fine once he meets that girl of his dreams."

"What if you're the girl of his dreams, but your too chicken shit to admit defeat?"

Meanwhile

Brooke licked the whip crème off her lips, "this is really good," she pouted, "Too bad I dont have someone to share it with."

The brothers looked at each other, devilish smiles forming on their lips.

A knock came at the door, "Hold that thought," Lucas smiled and stood up.

"What are you doing here?" he asked the lurking figure.

The man looked sternly, "I'm here to talk to my fiancée."

Lucas bit his bottom lip, "Who? I could have sworn you and my best friend broke up a while ago," he said sarcastically.

Jared chuckled dryly, "Well your wrong, so maybe you should step aside and let me in the room."

His expression grew serious, "maybe I should beat your ass."

"What's going on Luke?" Nathan came to the door, eyeing Jared suspiciously.

"This idiot wants to talk to Haley," Lucas glared.

"Jared!" An angry brunette called.

"Hey baby," he smiled.

"What are you doing here, again?" she was infuriated and sickened at the sight of him. "And for the last time, I'm not your baby."

He grinned slyly, "were in Vegas baby, let's go get married."

 "Are you fucking deaf, dumb or blind? Which one?" she paused, sarcasm slipping from her sentences, "a little of all three?"

Jared grimaced at her words and glared. "Your just a slut anyway," he waved his hands in disgust, "go crawl back into your hole where you belong, you ugly bitch."

Before Haley had the chance to react Jared was being pinned against the wall. She gasped in revelation, trying her best to comprehend what was happening.

"Don't you ever," Lucas growled, "talk to her like that, do you understand?"

Brooke came out the room, an enthusiastic smile spread across her lips. "I hear screaming, what did I miss?"

Jared furrowed his eyebrows, anger seeping from his voice, "fuck you." He pushed Lucas, causing the blonde to stumble.

A smile was evident on Jared features, but was swiftly wiped away by Nathan's fist to his jaw. Jared stumbled and fell to the ground, "Don't you ever talk to her like that, do you understand?" he repeated Lucas question, receiving a whimper and a nod from Jared. "Good, and if you touch my brother again, ill be sure to personally whoop your ass, clear?"

"Clear," he groaned.

"Good," Nathan smiled cockily.

Lucas scoffed in disgust, kicking Jared in the stomach before following his brother into the hotel room.

Haley bent down beside Jared, "Baby, does the pain hurt?" she smiled evilly, receiving a nod from Jared, "good," she repeated, before slapping him in square in the face and heading inside.

"Wow," Peyton giggled, a smile set upon her features. "Come on Bo, let's go inside."
