Chapter 16
The girls were having a heated discussion when they got off the bus in Hyannis.
"Peyt, my parents will never go for letting us get a room in Boston on New Years Eve. And on top of that why would we want to got just the two of us"
"Actually your parents did say yes and they already got a suite. As for the second part of your little inquiry, why not? Its not like we have anything better to do. Besides it will be fun to reminice and stuff and we can get drunk"
Haley was about to respond when they heard Mrs. James calling their names.
"Mom!" Haley yelled and then ran to her mother and gave her a hug. When Haley was donr hugging her mother Peyton stepped in an gave her a hug.
"Thanks for picking us up Lydia"
"No problem girls, I would have picked you up at the airport but I can't drive in the city."
"Trust me mom, we know." Haley replied laughing.
The two girls told Haley's mom all about UNC and how much they loved it, they conveniently left out the fact that they had also fallen in love, but Lydia could tell. The demeanor in her daughter and her best friend were so different form when they left for school in August. The girls were glowing, but she trusted them and their judgement, which is why she was letting them get the hotel for New Years.
When they pulled into Haley's drive way Peyton grebbed her bags and headed next door to her own house.
"Hey Peyt, come over when your done unpacking ok?" Haley yelled.
"Sure. It might be a while cuz I have ta call Jake."
"Don't worry about it I'm gonna call Nate too."
"K, see ya lata."
The week past quickly with Haley working at the rink and their former high school's hockey games and Peyton hanging out with her. Dealing with the stuck up snobby girls that they went to high school was not fun. But she talked to Nate everyday - twice a day, and Peyton talked to Jake too - especially when Haley wasn't around so that they could talk about the plan.
Haley woke up to her cell phone ringing at an ungodly hour of the morning.
"Hello?" she answered groggily.
"Merry Christmas babe. Sorry I woke you but I wanted to be the first one to say it to you."
"Merry Christmas to you too, and its ok. I like being woken up by you."
"How's everything goin?"
"Its goin all right. I've already told you about the jerks I went to high school with. I'm freezing my as off, even though I'm wearing your sweatshirt. I like live in it."
"Its nice and warm down here."
"Hahaha, your so funny."
"I try. But listen I gotta go Luke's calling me, the family festivities are about to begin. We're always done before its even light outside."
"Hun, your preeching to the choir, I'm shocked no ones woken me up yet...and I spoke to soon my mom just called me. Have a good day. Talk to you later."
"Bye babe. Merry Christmas!"
The day flew by for both Haley and Nathan. Haley spent the day with her family and Peyton.
The next day Peyton, Haley and Lydia all wet shopping, as was their tradition. Peyton helped Haley pick out a hott outfit for new years, much to Haleys protesting beciase she did not understand th need to look good for herself and Peyton. She had no idea about the surprise.
The week between Christmas and New Years flew by and Haley and Peyton were now on their way into good ol' beantown.
"Peyton I still don't get why we're goin into Boston. Your dads outta town we coulda just hung out at your house."
"Which is right next to your Haley. Besides its time foe us to live a little"
"If I remeber correctly I did some livin at school. If you'll recall you and Brookie getting me drunk."
"Hey, you know you had fun, and besides Nate took care of you. Come on it will be fun. We have reservation at the hotel restaurant for 7. By the time we get there it will be four. We can each take a nice bath and do our nails and hair and stuff and get dressed and go to dinner."
"Your right. I'm sorry. I guess I'm just ticked that I can't be with Nate tonight. That and those damned people we went to high school with. If I didn't need the money I wouldn't work the hockey games."
" Hales your better than them. Don't let them get to you. They're just jealous that you are dating Nathan Scott. Who knew that theya actually followed college b ball."
"Well if I had't worn his sweatshirt to work they wouldn't have said anything. O well. Tonight is about us and the fact that we are bestest friend and it will be kick ass. I'll just call Nate a lot."
"Power of positive thinking Hales...I mean the Sox won the series so it must work right?" Peyton replied and the girls started laughing.
They were almost to the hotel when Peyton's phone rang.
"Hales will you answer that?"
"Ya"
"Peyton's phone Haley speaking."
"Hey Hales, its Jake can I talk to Peyton? Can she call you right back? We are just about to pull into the parking garage for the hotel."
"Ya just tell her to hurry up, I wanna hear her voice."
"Ok lover boy"
"Bye"
"Call Jake when we are situated he want to hear your voice."
"Cool" Peyton said, but she knew that meant something was going on. She hoped they hadn't missed their flight.
A/N Sorry to lave it there, I wanna keep writing but I have to go to the library and get some work done. I'll try to update again tonight.
