Once again I do not own any rights or characters to this show
(A few weeks later)
(Haley walking in the hallway at school; Deb happens to walk by her)
(Haley rolls her eyes)
Deb: Haley could I talk to you for a second?
Haley: Why you got what you wanted didn't you?
(Deb gives Haley a questioning look)
Haley: Me and Nathan not together.
Deb: Sweetheart that's not what I wanted.
Haley" Then why have you treated me like crap since the day you found out me and Nathan got married?
Deb: I just don't want to see you both throw your lives away by getting married so young.
Haley: I have to get back to class.
(Nathan leaves his class and notices his mom talking to Haley so he falls back not to be seen)
Deb: Haley all I wanted to say was I'm sorry for saying the things I said. I didn't want to loose my son anymore than I already did. But I can see that you make him happy.
Haley: How's that?
Deb: Because that's the first time I've ever seen him cry over someone.
(Haley puts her hand over her mouth thinking what have I done)
Deb: Well anyways have a nice day.
(Deb turns and starts walking)
Haley: Thank you Mrs. Scott.
(Deb turns around)
Deb: No problem Mrs. James oh I'm sorry its Scott right?
(Haley gives Deb a smiley-glare like what?)
Deb: Welcome to the family Haley. (Deb walks out of the school)
(Haley smiles and Nathan comes from around the corner)
(Haley tries not to look at Nathan)
(Nathan walks by with hurt in his eyes)
Nathan: Haley?
Haley: Yeah Nathan?
Nathan: Are we ever going to get past this?
Haley: (Haley smirks) I don't know Nathan I have to get to class. Can we talk about this later?
(Nathan angrily nods his head; Haley walks off)
(Lucas and Brooke skipping school)
Brooke: So have you talked to Peyton?
Lucas: (Smiles) Not in a while but no purposely. I've been busy with Haley/Nathan thing.
Brooke: (Nods) How are they doing?
Lucas: Not too good. Haley cries herself to sleep in my arms every night. Sometimes she really reminds me of Nathan with her stubbornness.
(Brooke smirks)
Lucas: So?
Brooke: Oh you want me to say something- about the note.
Lucas: Well since we're on that subject.
Brooke: I do forgive you Lucas but that doesn't mean I forget. You can't just expect me to be happy with that. I mean I cared about you a lot.
(Lucas gives his famous look in the show)
Brooke: You looked at me different than anybody else has and you cheated on me with my best friend of all people.(Brooke looks up) I don't know if I can just put that aside and go back to that. How do I know you wont do it again Lucas?
Lucas: You don't but if you let me prove to you that I am for real.... We could try again.
(Brooke shrugs her shoulders)
Lucas: I realized something while I was gone for three months and since I've gotten back.
Brooke: You have? (Brooke thinking Lucas is going to say he's in Love with her)
Lucas: I don't want to be that guy. I don't want to hurt the people I care about the most in the world. I know I let you down Brooke but just give me a chance to change that.
Brooke: (Nods and thinks for a minute) All right one chance. If you blow it you can forget you ever knew me lover boy.
(Lucas smiles and they keep walking)
(Later that night; Haley walking)
(Knock on Nathan's door)(Nathan opens it)
Nathan: Haley? (Shocked) Why are you knocking?
Haley: Nathan I think we should get a divorce.
(Nathan almost falls over but quickly catches himself)
Nathan: I'm sorry I thought you just said we should get a divorce.
(Nathan and Haley go inside)
Haley: I did. (Haley stares at Nathan)
(Nathan sits down)
Nathan: You're being serious aren't you?
(Haley nods)
Nathan: Is this because of my mom?
Haley: (Haley shakes her head no) No. Nathan we're still in high school. Who knows if a year from now or even a few months from now if you still would want to be with me.
Nathan: I do!
Haley: Nathan come on don't make this any harder than this has to be. (Haley avoids eye contact)
Nathan: But I love you Hales.
Haley: I know and I love you too but we're just too young. I mean come on what were we thinking getting married?
Nathan: This isn't about us being too young is it? Do you really think that poorly of me?
(Haley shrugs her shoulders)
Nathan: I don't know what to say Hales you broke my heart. (Haley tries to fight back from crying as Nathan eyes start watering up and tears fall down his face)
(Haley stands up to leave and Nathan grabs her arm; kisses her)
(Haley starts to kiss him back but quickly pushes him away; She leaves)
(Nathan yells and throws a lamp at the wall)(Haley hears and flinches at the noise)(She runs away from his apartment balling)
Haley: God! What did I just do?
(Haley sees a bench and sits down crying)(Dan happens to be driving by and stops at the sight of Haley)
(Dan gets out of his car and walks slowly over to Haley; when he gets close enough he sees her crying so hard that she can barely breathe)
Dan: Haley?
(Haley looks up to see Dan with an actual worried look on his face)
Dan: Can I ask you what happened?
Haley: W...(Sniffs) WH Why...are...you...you...(sniffs) being...n...n...n...nice...ta...me?
Dan: I saw you crying and cant really be mean to someone who can barely breathe because she's crying so hard.
(Haley tries to smile but more tears come)
Dan: Nathan being like his father too much?
(Haley shakes her head no)
Dan: Don't tell me you're pregnant. (Dan looks up at the sky praying)
Haley: No.
Dan: You going to give me a clue here because I cant play 20 questions all night.
Haley: I...I...t...t...told...N...Nathan...I...wa...wa.wan.wanted....a....div..orce.
Dan: (Nods) Oh! You don't love him?
Haley: (Haley calms down enough to actually get word out) No I just don't want him to think later on in life that I pressured him into marrying me and then packing up and leaving me one day. I don't want to end up like Karen no offense. I just Love him too much. I don't want him to end up resenting me.
Dan: Haley how do you know that's even going to happen? You haven't even given it a try really.
Haley: It was just so much easier when we were just us not married. We didn't really fight fight and now that's all we do.
Dan: Deb?
(Haley nods)
Dan: Is that really the reason- you think he's going to leave you?
Haley: That or Deb's going to end up pushing him away from me.
Dan: Haley you have to understand that to a woman losing her son is like losing her virginity. (Haley raises her eyebrows) Sorry that's the only thing I could think of. I don't think she means to be cruel to you. She just doesn't want to lose her son especially to another woman. Do you understand what I'm saying?
(Haley nods)
Dan: Now I can't tell you what to do here but don't push him away because of something you think is going to happen or because of Deb. He loves you- I can tell and you know how much I hate to admit that.
(Haley smiles to Dan and laughs)
Dan: Do you need a ride somewhere?
Haley: No I'm good. Thanks Dan it means a lot coming from you.
Dan: (Nods) Follow your heart not just your dreams. You see where they led me.
(Haley nods)
(Haley walks into the café)
Karen: Oh honey are you all right? You look like you've been crying for hours.
Haley: I'll be fine.
Karen: Here let me get you some tea.
(Haley sits down at a table; Karen comes over and pours her some tea)(In walks Lucas smiling)
(Haley looks)
Haley: Atleast someone had a good night.
Lucas: Yes I did. (He looks at Haley) You want to talk about it?
Haley: I think I lost him Lucas. I made the biggest mistake and it took Dan to say something for me to even realize it.
Lucas: What did you do? Wait what wow Dan?
Haley: I was crying and he saw me and stopped.
Lucas: Oh! So what happened with Nathan?
Haley: I told him we should get a divorce since there is no ground for an annulment.
Lucas: Wow Hales are you sure thast what you want?
Haley: I was scared I was going to end up like Karen no offense and I didn't want that. I didn't want the one person I loved to wake up one day and leave me or think that I suckered him into this and hate me for it and still leave me. I can't deal with that.
(Lucas hugs Haley as she starts crying again)
Haley: Tell me this is going to be okay.
Lucas: I can't do that Hales. What did he say when you told him that.
Haley: The one thing I didn't want him to say.
Lucas: What's that?
Haley: That I broke his heart and he actually started crying. You know there's a saying No ones worth your tears and the one who is won't make you cry and I did that to him. Lucas I... (Haley wipes tears off of her face)
Lucas: (Shakes his head stunned by what he's hearing) I don't know what to say to you.
(In walks Brooke)
Brooke: You forgot your... (Pauses to see Haley's face all red) Phone. Holy shit is she okay?
(Lucas shakes his head no)(Brooke sits down and rubs Haley's back; Lucas smiles at her)
Brooke: Is there anything I can do or get you tutor girl?
(Haley laughs)
Haley: Could I just be alone you guys. I need some sleep.
Lucas: Are you sure?
Brooke: I can go if you want to be alone with Lucas.
Haley: No it's not that any other time I wouldn't mind you around or anyone else for that matter but right now I need some me time.
(Brooke and Lucas both nod)(Haley walks to go to the bedroom)
Brooke: I hope everything turns out okay for you.
Haley: (Smiles) Thanks Brooke. Night you two.
(Brooke looks at Lucas)
Lucas: Nathan.
Brooke: Back to his fathers' ways I see.
Lucas: Something like that.
Brooke: My parents are out of town do you want to come over? (Lucas smiles) You know seeing as Haley said she wanted to be alone.
Lucas: Sure. Hold on let me tell my mom I'll be back later.
(Lucas goes to the back)
Lucas: I'm going to give Haley some space like she asked. Is it cool if I hang out with Brooke and I'll be home in the morning?
Karen: No funny business Luke I mean it.
Lucas: Thanks mom. (Kisses Karen and he and Brooke leave to her house)
(Lucas and Brooke kiss)(They continue to watch TV)(Brooke falls asleep on Lucas; He looks down and kisses her forehead)
Lucas: God you're beautiful.
(Lucas turns off the TV and goes to sleep)
