Undiscovered
Chapter Eleven
Just Friends
I saw you there last night
Standing in the dark
You were acting so in love
With your hand upon his heart
But you were just friends
At least that's what you said
Now I know better from his fingers in your hair
I'll forgive you for what you've done
If you say that I'm the one
I've had other options too
But all I want is you
Girl, your body fits me like a glove
And you showered me with words of love
While you were just friends
At least that's what you said
-Gavin Degraw: Just Friends
Haley walks into Peyton's room and sees her drawing in front of her computer. Peyton turns around and sees Haley standing there. Peyton puts down her sketch and walks over towards her, "What's up?" Peyton asked as she digs her hands in her jean pockets.
"I am going crazy," Haley said with a huge smile on her face, "I want to marry Nathan."
Peyton almost choked, "What?"
"I know it sounds crazy," Haley said pacing the floor, "But I am really in love with him."
"Haley, you're not even a senior yet, and you have so much going for you," Peyton said trying to sound rational.
"I know, but just because I'm getting married doesn't mean I can't marry the person I love," Haley said laughing a little.
Peyton sighed, "Marriage is a big deal Haley."
"I love him Peyton," Haley explained, "I want to be with him forever."
"We're only in high school though, we all so much time to go to college and meet other people," Peyton said trying to talk some sense into her.
"He's the guy I want to be with. I love him."
"I just don't think it's a good idea Hales," Peyton said trying to sound sympathetically.
Haley scoffed, "I really thought you were going to support me."
"What the hell? How am I supposed to support you when you're marrying Nathan, you hardly even know each other?" Peyton exclaimed.
"It's called love," Haley said sternly, "This was a bad idea. I'll talk to you later," she said coldly and then walked out the door. Peyton sighed and went back to her computer desk and started to draw again.
Brooke walked down the sidewalk from Karen's Café, it was a perfect day out, but she felt like shit. Brooke walked and kicked the stones in front of her, but she had no such luck keeping them in front of her. She looked up and saw Nathan standing there, she tried not to notice him, but she couldn't help it.
Nathan walked closer towards Brooke and kissed her. Brooke felt like she had before all the drama shit had happened. She let him kiss her, and to her surprise the kiss wasn't as passionate as she thought it was going to be, there was not tongue, their lips just came together as the warmth went through their bodies. When the kiss broke they looked at each other, neither of them didn't want to say a word in fear that they would ruin the moment.
Brooke spoke up, "Why did you do that?" She asked softly as she ran her fingers through her hair.
Nathan shrugged, "It just felt right."
"Yeah it did," Brooke said touching her lips, "But that doesn't mean it was."
Nathan sighed, "Haley talked to me about marriage today."
Brooke slapped Nathan across the face, "You have the balls to kiss me when you know in the back of your head that your girlfriend wants to get married?"
Nathan touched his cheek where he had been slapped, he was surprised at how bad it did sting, "I didn't kiss you because Haley wants to marry me."
"Then why did you?"
"I don't know," Nathan exclaimed, "I just want to kiss you and I can't control it, you're still so special to me."
Brooke rolled her eyes, "Don't try and use your bull shit sweet talk on me. It may work on Haley, but I am sure as hell not her," she stated angrily. Brooke scoffed and walked away, she didn't want anything to do with him ever. She couldn't believe that she let him fool her again. Nathan walked towards his car and drove home; he barged in the door and went straight to his room he didn't have time to deal with anyone.
Lucas walked into his mom's café and saw Haley sitting at the counter, "Hey best friend," he joked.
"Hey," she said, "What's new?"
"Nothing, I just got done playing some basketball with Nathan," Lucas said as he sat down next to Haley.
Haley laughed, "There's hope for you two yet."
Lucas laughed, "Yeah, and we even talked without cursing each other out."
"What did you two talk about?"
Lucas sighed, "He said that you brought out marriage to him."
Haley laughed nervously, "Yeah, I brought it up to Peyton too, but she said that she didn't think it was a good idea."
"I agree," Lucas said, "We're not even out of high school yet Hales."
Haley shrugged, "I know Luke, but you don't know how much we love each other."
"I think you should just wait till you decide your whole life," Lucas suggested, "Your smart Hales, you'll know what to do."
"Lucas, I love Nathan and I want to be with...Forever," she stated. Lucas sighed as Haley got up and left the café.
Nathan sat in his room as his parents fought again. He swore that his parents just did it because they knew he could hear it, and they knew it drove him crazy. Nathan didn't want his parents to get a divorce, but sometimes he thinks that would be a good thing for them. He loved his parents, they were the people that raised him and that kept him healthy, but sometimes he just wanted out. Nathan listened to the threats that his parents threw back and forth and rolled his eyes. He once again climbed out his window and got into his car. Nathan drove to Brooke's, he knew he shouldn't have been there, but he felt safe when he was with her, plus she was all alone. Nathan walked into the front door; it was always unlocked except when Brooke went out to a bar or something. He walked up the stairs and saw Brooke coming out of the bathroom with her toothbrush in hand; she saw Nathan and stopped dead in her tracks. She looked in Nathan's eyes and saw how hurt he was.
"My parents were fighting again," Nathan explained.
Brooke nodded, "Come on," she said in a scratchy voice. 'She must've been sleeping,' Nathan thought to himself. They both walked into her room and sat down on the bed.
"I'm not planning on marrying Haley anytime soon," Nathan said to break the silence.
Brooke kissed Nathan passionately. She kissed him like she had never kissed him before, she had missed kissing him. Brooke opened her mouth allowing Nathan to rub his tongue along her bottom lip and then progressing into her mouth. Brooke laid on her bed as Nathan got on top of her, Brooke kissed his neck and then grabbed his face and kissed his mouth forcefully. Nathan loved kissing Brooke; he couldn't deny it even if he tried. They both felt as things started to get heated, Brooke stopped kissing Nathan.
"We can't do this Nathan," she said getting up from where she was laying, "I'm sorry, I should just sleep in the guest room," she said as she looked at Nathan.
Nathan grabs her hand, "Brooke," he said as his eyes watered, "I need to be with someone tonight," he says softly, "Please Brooke, I can control myself."
Brooke nodded and got into her bed while Nathan got into the other side, "Nathan," she whispered. He looked at her and gave her a weak smile, "I don't want it to be this way," she said finally.
"I don't either," he said.
A single tear ran down Brooke's cheek, "Why do things have to be so difficult," she sobbed.
Nathan stroked Brooke's cheek and smiled, "It's going to okay Brooke."
"If we're not together than it's not going to be okay," Brooke stated, "I can't go to sleep at night without thinking about what we could be."
Nathan sighed, "We could be anything Brooke."
"Goodnight Nathan."
