Chapter 5- The Letter
"Haley!!!! What's the matter? I got here as soon as I could and I brought the ice cream, now tell me what happened." Brooke walked into Haley's apartment to see Haley sitting curled up on the couch.
Haley got up from her seat on the couch and silently made her way to the ice cream.
"Haley? Are you going to tell me what you got in the mail?" Haley nodded her head towards the side table that had the mail on it and then made her way back towards the couch with the carton of ice cream and a spoon.
Brooke shuffled through the mail to see what was so devastating and then she saw it, "Oh my God! I can't believe the nerve."
"I know, I know, I was thinking the same thing, I mean how could he?" Haley said slightly sobbing.
"Oh Haley, it's going to be alright," Brooke sat down next to Haley and put Haley's head in her lap and starting stroking it. "Maybe you should go?"
Haley lifted her head up at Brooke's suggestion, "You're kidding me right? I mean why would I ever want to go to Lucas Scott's wedding?"
"I don't know, I mean think about it, if you go then you can show him that he didn't break you, and maybe if you're lucky there will be a cute guy that you dirty dance with and make him jealous."
"You do realize who he's marrying right?" Brooke read the card out loud to see who the bride to be was, "You are cordially invited to the wedding of Lucas Scott and – Oh my God!! You got be kidding me?"
"No! It's written in black and white, He's marrying HER!!! The same girl he slept with while he was dating me, PEYTON SAWYER!!!"
"THAT HOMEWRECKER!!!" Brooke said with clenched teeth, "this means one thing Haley, we have to go to this wedding!!"
"No! I am not about to make a fool of my self and go to that wedding."
"Haley, come on! You and I are going to this wedding and we are going to look totally hot and YOU are going to walk in there like you are totally happy and not heart broken about what he did to you. You are going to congratulate him on his new bride and you are going to give him the most hideous wedding gift you can think of. Do you understand me?" Brooke said as he grabbed Haley by the shoulders so that she can look into her eyes.
"I don't know Brooke-"
"Haley this is not about knowing, this is about doing and we're doing it so take that spoon out of your mouth and look like the over confident, gorgeous and wonderful Haley that I know. Ok?"
Haley shook her head and took the spoon out of her mouth.
"Ok good, now go get dressed, we're going to the beach to see if we can find a party or something." Haley got up from the couch and made her way to her bedroom. "Oh and by the way, we're bringing Max, we might need him to catch us some men."
