Chapter 17,
A few days later....
Lucas walked the steps leading to Haley's house. He quickly looked toward the garage to see if any one of her parents were home. Without precaution, he opened the door and walked in. Music quickly fled to his ears, as he walked deeper into the house. A small smile brightened his face as he realized the music was coming from Haley's room. He cracked the door open a little only enough for him to look without being noticed. Her presume was in the air, he remembered the smell. He breathed in deeply. Haley, thinking she was alone, started dancing to a fast song on the radio. It was all Lucas could do to try not to laugh; but after a while he couldn't hold it in. He burst into laughter making Haley's bedroom door widen. With a shocked and embarrassed face, Haley ran over to the door and slammed it in Lucas's face. She quickly ran to her bed and grabbed a sweeter to pull over her belly like tank top.
"See, this is why I didn't knock." He screamed.
Haley pressed her palms to the door and locked the door.
"Haley come on, what are you going to do? Call the police and tell them your best friend is breading and entering?" Even know Haley couldn't see him; she knew he would have the biggest grin.
"Lucas, just go away, I already know what you came here to say. You don't want me to go...bla bla bla! And let me guess Nathan is upset? She said sarcastically.
"No, I actually came here to tell you Nathan walked yesterday. The first time since the accident."
"Is this just a lie? Cause if you are just trying to make me feel...Haley paused as she opened the door..."He can walk?" She said with excitement.
"He still has rehab to go through...and he has to stay in the wheel chair until he can stand without any help, but he looks good Halz. You would be proud of us, we haven't argued once."
"Now I know that's a lie!" She said poking him in the stomach
"Okay but who could blame me for trying?" He said grinning.
"Is he still upset about me leaving?" Haley said as she opened her bedroom door. Lucas gave her a face that seemed to say, "I knew I could get in."
"He talks about it everyday, as if I'm not caught up in this myself." Lucas said taking a seat on her bed. He looked up at the white ceiling; the white color seemed endless. His eyes fled to Haley's walls filled with pictures, poems, quotes and anything else Haley found interesting. This is what he liked most about Haley, she was such a complex person; he could show a different side to himself around her, he always felt comfortable enough to tell her anything.
"Lucas Scott, if you think you can just drift off to sleep and act like we have nothing to talk about---" Haley said rambling on. Lucas brought a finger up to her lips to silence her.
"What are you going to do? Your new Brittany Spears moves?" He said remembering the scene he had just witnessed.
"Shut up!" She said shoving him playfully.
Lucas rolled over onto his stomach and looked at Haley. She smiled a joyous smile that seemed to brighten the room. She looked down at him and it was like she said a thousand words. Her cheeks were still flushed from her dancing; a pinkish shimmer spread across her lips, as she licked them. Her smile went lopsided suddenly as she watched Lucas in confusion.
Lucas traced the lines in her face as if he was seeing her for the first time. She wasn't the little girl he grew up with anymore. She had turned into a beautiful woman, he would never see the little Haley again.
All and all Lucas felt stupid for not noticing sudden changes that escaped his wondering eyes. Such softness, her skin shimmered from glittered blush applied to her cheekbones.
Her hair was pulled back into a tight bun making her look sophisticated. He looked closer, his eyes tracing the hair at the back of her neck. He found himself longing to touch her again. He was so satisfied when he had his arms around her; but what could he do? If only he could have changed the last month, Haley would be his and Nathan wouldn't even care. But the truth was he loved Haley and she loved him, and they couldn't do a damn thing about it.
"Lucas are you okay? You're kind of freaking me out." She said snapping her fingers.
Lucas leaned in and cupped her chin in one hand. Haley's eyes blinked slowly as she looked at her child-hood friend. HE grazed his thumb across her lips, taking his time, he parted them and placed his quivering lips onto hers. Haley responded to the kiss, and wrapped her arms around his broad shoulders.
Lucas opened his mouth more know Haley would follow. He licked her bottom lip slowly, asking for permission. Not to long after Haley leaned her head back onto the pillow and pulled Lucas in to deepen the kiss. The feeling was tremendous to Haley. She moaned, as Lucas tasted her mouth playfully. Lucas was the only guy that ever kissed her this way, when he kissed her she felt like a queen. Lucas moved closer to her, as if he could hold on to her forever. He listened as her CD changed to one of his favorite songs. "Crash into you." By Dave Matthews.
Haley was flying, soaring away from everything. It was just Lucas, not more nothing less. She loved this feeling of calmness that swept over her. They parted for a second only to grasp for a breath. Haley's thoughts went deeper until the faint sound of Dave Matthew's voice became hard to hear. She was suddenly sitting behind the wheel of Nathan's car. She stared down at her hands, trying so hard to remove her grasp, but nothing happened. Her foot slammed down on the gas, and her heart suddenly it felt like it had hit the floor. The gear shifted, and the car was excelled sending her nerves almost over the limit. She tried to catch her breath, but she couldn't breathe. She tried to scream, but nothing came out. In the distance, a familiar red truck came into focus. Her hopes suddenly lifted when she realized it was Lucas and he would help her. If only she could stop, but how cold she stop something that she couldn't even control? The sound of loud music blasted in her ears making her jump from the shock. It was some heavy metal song that she wouldn't be caught dead listening to. She slammed on the break with her right foot, but the car didn't stop. She whimpered when she saw Lucas still waiting at the stop light; all she wanted was to live and be with him. Tears flushed to her eyes when she realized what was going on, she was going to crash into his truck and kill both of them. She looked out into the darken night, as to ask why.
"No, this can't be happening." She said slinging Lucas off of her bed. His head hit the floor with a loud 'thump'.
He set up, and rubbed the place he had hit. His face was wrinkled, like he had just ate a sour skittle. He moved closer to Haley and his face softened when he saw the look in her eyes. He sat down beside her and grabbed her hand.
"Crash into me...." She said mouthing the words. Maybe this was a bad sign, like an omen or something. She thought trying to piece it all together.
"What happened Halz?" He said wiping away the hair, matted to her sweat soaked forehead.
"God I had the weirdest feeling, It was like I was sitting behind the wheel....I could almost feel the explosion hit." She said while standing up.
"What explosion....Nathan's?" He said a bit confused.
"It just freaked me out....everything is freaking me out these days. Haley looked back at Lucas and gave him a worried smile. "I'm sorry Luke....about all of this. It's like we are always held back.
"Haley what did you see?" He said quickly.
"You couldn't even imagine." She said in a whisper.
