CHAPTER2
The bell on the door behind haley jingled. She turned to see Peyton and Brooke standing behind her arms locked together. They were both gaping at the sight of her. "Haley", they both whispered in unison. Haley looked at Both of there hands to see who had married her best friend, they both had rings on. Haley dint know what to do. "Why are you here?", asked Lucas again. "I-I came back to.. well, to try to make things right. Brooke chuckled,"fat chance". "I I think ill just go.." as haley turned to leave Nathan spoke up for the first time. "NO don't. I mean.." Everyone was staring at him. "why don't you stick around all of us need to talk." Peytong perked up,"Yeah. Come on we can try to be adults about this." Peyton and Brooke walked over to Haley locked arms with her and dragged her over to a corner booth. Nathan and Luke slowly followed. Brooke was on one side, Haley on the other, Peyton pulled up a chair to the end of the table. Nathan took a seat by Haley on the edge of the booth seat, and Lucas sat by Brooke. All five of them sat there in an awkward silence. Noone was saying anything. Haley finally broke the silence. "So, who married who?" Nathan spoke up "whom". Haley was shocked, since when did Nathan give people grammar lessons? "Ok. so whom married whom?" asked Haley emphasizing on the whom. Brooke and Luke smiled at each other and raised there hands. Haley smiled, "That's great guys." she still couldn't help feeling bad for not getting to go. Peyton raised her hand and smiled, "me and Jake got married." Haley grinned," yeah you guys always made a perfect couple." well well what a happy family they have here thought Haley bitterly. As soon as the thought came she pushed it away she wouldn't think like that. Haley was half expecting Nathan to tell her he married a beautiful super model who loves him dearly and keeps him happy, and never runs away in the middle of the night. Then again there wasn't a ring maybe there was hope after all. Everyone sat there in another silence, not so awkward this time. after 3 and a half minutes, Haley couldn't take it any longer,"I need to tell you all something." Everyone sat there looking so intent and focused on her, she didn't like the attention she bowed her head just so she wouldn't have to look at them. She had rehearsed this speech over and over on the way down here, she had it memorized. Now she couldn't remember any of it. Well everyone says 'things from the heart mean more'. "I'll start from the beginning, about a year ago my parents started fighting a lot they were never discreet about it, we all heard them.. it seemed like they were always on each others case about something. They were apparently having money problems raising 6 kids 4 moved out they still didn't have enough" at the mention of six kids everyone looked up, 6 kids? she must have been mistaking her parents only have 5 kids. "I know what you are all thinking, they had 6 kids I never told you about my younger sister.
