Chapter 6: Explanations and confusion
Haley pulled away from Lucas's kiss and gave him an unpleasant look. "Lucas, what
are u doing?" Her mind becomes filled with a myriad of thoughts, and she is unsure of
what to do next. Without thinking she storms out of the kitchen and starts running. She bursts through the crowd, grabs her coat, and dashes out the door. She feels tears swelling up, and she knows she is going to start to cry. She runs down to the shore and sits down in the sand, and looks out at the water ahead.
Meanwhile:
Brooke, Lucas and Nathan are still standing in the kitchen. "What the hell are you doing kissing my girlfriend man?" Nathan angrily asks. "Ya what were you doing Lucas? I thought you liked me!" Brooke also asks, puzzled. "Look I'm sorry Brooke, but I just, I don't feel the way you do," Lucas said sympathetically. "So what you think you can just go off and kiss Haley?" Nathan says. "I don't know, I just, it just happened. I couldn't control my feelings Nate, I'm sorry." Lucas knew he needed to talk to Haley, and that some major explanations would be required. He turned around and ran outside, hoping he would be able to find her.
He walked outside, with the cool night air making him shiver a little. He saw the beautiful sunset up ahead, shining down on Haley, who he spotted sitting by the shore. He ran up to her. "Hales, haley we need to talk!" he called. "Lucas, I don't even know what to say to you, I mean why did you kiss me?" she demanded. "It's hard to explain, I don't have an justification that makes senses Hales. Lately I have just realized a few things, and one of them is that maybe the person I'm in love with has been right in front of me all along. I don't want Brooke or Peyton or anyone like that. I want you Haley," Lucas said, hoping she would understand and feel the same way. "Luke, I, I don't know what to say. I mean, you're great, you're my best friend, and I've known you forever and I love you too, but I also love Nathan. Maybe you don't love any other girl strongly right now, but I do love someone else. God just when things start to get good in my life, everything begins to get so screwed up and complicated again," she said.
After that, neither of them said a word. Lucas put his arms around Haley, and she seemed to like the gesture, so the both just said there silently, watching the sunset together. Haley was so confused, and didn't want her life to become difficult but knew it already had. She loved Nathan a lot, but what Luke said about the right person being right in front of them all along had made sense to her too, and she didn't know which one she loved more. After along soundless moment together, Haley decided it was best to go home. She had a lot of thinking to do. "Luke, I think we better go home, I'm sorry for ruining your birthday party," she declared. "Hey hey, you didn't ruin anything. I got to kiss you, and watch this beautiful sunset with you, that has been my dream for along time now. You made my wish come true," Lucas said smiling. "But I don't know if the kiss meant anything to me Luke. I just need to figure some things out ok?" Haley said. "That's fine. And if you just want to be friend's that is okay too, I understand. As long as I get to be with you I'm happy," Luke said. Haley gave him a kiss on the cheek, and then got up and started walking to the car. She considered going in and saying goodbye to Nathan, but she knew he would be angry and that it wasn't a good time. She took one last look at the beautiful sunset before they drove away and headed home.
