Chapter 24
The girls had been shopping for 3 hours when they finally decided to grab dinner. They went to the Olive Garden. They had a nice dinner and chatted and Haley was really happy that she had Brooke and Peyton as her bestest friends. When they were done they paid the bill and went back to school.
"Two more days and we're done, well for a week any way." Brooke said.
"Hey a week is a week. I can't wait." Peyton replied
Haley was walking in a daze.
"Hey Hales whats up?" Peyton asked.
"Hales, Hales!" Brooke said waving her hand in front of her face.
"Huh, what? O sorry guys I guess I spaced out there."
"Are you sure you're ok?" Peyton asked
"I don't know. I mean I love Nathan with all my heart, I mean I can see us growing old together for crying out loud. And I know I always said I was going to wait, but I want to give myself to him. I'm just scared he won't want it and that I will just make a complete fool of myself." she said with a tear rolling down her cheek, by this time they were on the elevator and Peyton and Brooke embraced their friend.
When they got off of the elevaor Haley was in the middle and Peyt and Brooke each had an arm over her shoulder, unfortunately the guys were hanging out in the floor lounge and saw them getting off the elevator.
Before anyone noticed the look on Haley's face Luke said,
"Wow looks like you guys bought out Victoria's Secret" referring to the pink and white striped bags that the girls were holding.
Haley had been looking at the floor and hadn't noticed the guys, but with out looking up she made a b line for her suite and her room. When Nate started to get up to go after her Peyt stopped him.
"Let me go after her Nate. I'll come and get you when she is ready"
"Hales"
Haley looked up when she heard her best friend say her name and the sobs came gushing out.
Peyton embraced her friend as she cried.
"Hales, you know I love ya right. You're the sister I never had. But you have nothin to be scared of or crying about. Nathan loves you, you should have seen the look on his face when I stopped him from coming after you. Nathan won't push you and I'm sure he wants your first time to be special. Don't worry about anything and just see where things go ok?" Peyton spoke softly as her friend began to relax and stop crying.
"Oh Pey! What would I do with out you?"
"Ummm go crazy?" she said laughing
"God, I'm so embarrassed. I've been acting like such a baby."
"No you haven't. You've just had a lot on your mind. Do you want me to go get Nate, he is really worried. Me and Brooke will take Luke and Jake and get some ice cream."
"Ya could you."
"Sure thing."
Nate came barreling in the room and pulled her into a hug.
