Hey, thanks for all the reviews. I need encouragement. Ok, this chapter is
the same scene but from Haley's point of view...
Haley was sitting on the floor crying when she heard a sound in living room. What do they want now? She thought as the footsteps crept closer. The sound made it's way towards her room and she braced herself for more yelling, but instead the soft voice of her best friend whispered, "Hales?" She covered her face and for a second felt slightly ashamed. She didn't want him or anyone to see her like this. Finally she lifted her head and watched his face fall as he saw the tears in her eyes.
"Lucas, what are you doing here? She said as she tried to cover up her sadness from him and even herself.
"Haley, What's wrong?" He said in a worried voice. Then he took a seat down next to her and wiped one of her tears off with his finger.
"I don't want to talk about it." She blurted out quickly, still trying to regain her composure.
"Please Haley. You haven't been talking to me at all these last few days. You've been acting strange and looking so down. Now I find you alone in your room crying. What's been going on? You know you can tell me anything."
She looked up at his eyes. They were soft and concerned. It looked like he himself was going to cry. She could tell that he could feel her pain, as if he had went through everything she had. He's right. She thought. Why am I so intent on keeping this from him? All she wanted was to fall into his understanding arms. He took hold of her hand and she decided she would tell him everything.
"Luke, I don't know what to do. Everything's gone wrong." As she spoke two fresh tears flowed down her face. She wiped them off quickly and looked up at Lucas, whose face looked deeply troubled as he said, "Why? What's going on?"
"It's just..." she sobbed as she finished the sentence, "it's my parents. Ever since they go home it's like they hate each other and me. All they do is yell and scream and give orders. I heard them yelling all night. Then this morning they both saw me and crying and neither one cared at all. My mom just ignored me and my dad came in and screamed at me FOR CRYING! Then they hurried off to who knows where and just left me here. Something happened on their trip, I know it. " She blurted these words out frantically as more tears emerged. Lucas put his arms around her and gave her his shoulder to cry on. Then he whispered in her ear, "Everything's going to be ok."
As they sat there, Haley thought about everything that had been going on lately. It's been so hard and up until now I didn't think I could talk to anyone. I'm glad I finally opened up with Lucas. Sure, I didn't exactly tell him everything but one problem's enough. As she thought, Haley looked outside her window. Wow, it's such a beautiful day. I'm sick of being sad. After a few minutes she broke the silence. "Hey, what do you say we get out of here? There's no use in staying here upset all day."
Lucas looked back at her surprised. "Weren't you just crying?"
Ughh...she thought...this boy is so weird. First he complains about me being sad all the time, now he wonders why I'm not still crying.
"Yea, but I got over it."
"Alright, let's go."
Before they left Haley called Peyton. Lucas looked at her with his eyebrows raised to show he was surprised, again.
"Hey blondie. What's ya doing?"
"Hey. Nothing. Are you ok? Lucas was really worried about you."
Man, again with the drama. Why does everyone expect me to be sad right now? "I'm good. Lukie is here with me and we're having oh so much fun. Wanna join?" There, that ought to convince her to come.
"Ok?" Peyton said sounding a little confused.
"Yay! 3-way!" Haley said laughing at her own joke. Then she gave the phone to Lucas.
"Hello." He said.
"Hey, what's gotten into her?" Peyton replied.
"I don't know."
Haley watched him shake his head. She must be hitting on him. She thought to herself.
They decided to meet at the hot dog stand near school after Haley continuously insisted that she needed something big to put into her mouth. Gosh, Lucas is such a straightedge. Haley thought, as Lucas constantly asked her, "Are you sure you're feeling alright?"
When they got the hot dog stand, Haley ordered 3 chili dogs. The others decided they weren't so hungry. While Haley stood in line, she watched Lucas and Peyton talk. They look so worried, but I'm fine. Seriously, I'm fine... Her thoughts were interrupted by the hot dog vender. "Hello. What would you like today from hot dog heaven?"
After she got her food, Haley joined them. While Lucas and Peyton sat there and watched Haley eat chili dog after chili dog and smile as if everything was fine.
"Dude, you guys are a drag." Haley said getting bored with them.
"Haley, you don't have to act like everything is ok." Lucas said.
"Yea, Haley, we're here for you." Peyton said.
I am ok. Haley thought. I'm fine. I'm fine, right? I've just had enough of this sadness stuff. "No, Luke you were right. I'm tired of mopping around. I'm tired of letting other people get me down. I'm tired of caring about people that don't give a crap about me. I'm just tired of it all." Deep in her heart though, she knew she wasn't really talking about her parents.
As she was speaking, Nathan and Tim walked up to the table. Apparently Haley wasn't the only one hungry for hot dogs.
"Hi Haley, having a little nice gathering without me, I see." Nathan said with a voice that sounded to have hidden evil intentions.
"Ughh, I WAS having a good day." Haley said jokingly but then she lost control. Everyone stared at her, wondering, once again in confusion, what was going on. He just doesn't care. She thought as she got up from the table, now with tears in her eyes and ran away.
...So there's what was going on her head. Don't forget to review !!!!
