It can't be you!
Disclaimer: I don't own anything except the characters you have never seen before.
Summary: Haley's world is turned upside down when her past becomes her present.
Pairings: Naley - Brucas - Jeyton.
Rating: PG-13 (that's just for mild swearing). Could get higher in later chapters. But I'll warn you before hand.
A.N: This chapter doesn't have a lot of jeyton or brucas because this chapter was really about getting the naley in but I'll try to fit some in the next chapter.
I also don't have a bulls notion how much drinks cost over there so I made it up. lol.
Haley just looked at Nathan in shock. "What?" Haley couldn't understand how he would know. Unless Brooke had told him, but she wouldn't do that. "He was the one who called you when we were ... um... outside. Who is he?" Haley shook her head she didn't know what to say. "How do you know he called me?" Haley asked, her voice letting her down as it trembled. Nathan hadn't move from his spot in front of her and he wasn't giving her any room to maneuver so she could just run away. "Your phone" Haley expression turned ice cold. "You looked in my phone?..." Haley said raising her voice. "I can't believe you. You have no right to go through my things especially my phone." Nathan was growing tired of Haley changing the subject from her to himself. "Answer the question Haley.... is he your boyfriend?" Nathan's voice dipped with his question.
Haley was still furious at him for going through her phone. "Yes, Simon is my boyfriend." She said still practically yelling at him. Nathan just stood there not saying anything, looking deep into her eyes. He didn't know what he was looking for but he didn't see it. The silence was broken by the barmaid. "Here you go, that will be eleven fifty." Nathan handed her the money and waited to get his change. Haley was just standing between Nathan and the counter. Not moving an inch, searching Nathan's face for a reply. Nathan then shoved his change into his pocket and picked up his drink off the counter and backed away from Haley. "Nathan..." Haley called out after him and Nathan just turned to her again. "Hale's ... that all I needed to hear..... enjoy your drink." He then left Haley on her own.
Haley sat at the bar taking in Nathan's cold words. It was like their kiss meant nothing to him. 'Maybe it didn't mean anything to him.' Haley thought while bringing her hands to her lips remembering it. 'Simon, Haley he is your boyfriend. Not Nathan.' Haley told herself. She turned to the bar and knocked back her whole drink. "Hey can I get a ... a... whiskey." Haley yelled to the barmaid getting her attention. The brunette needed something stronger to calm her stomach. And down that drink went in one fast gulp. Haley glanced up at the booth all her friends were sitting in and scanned over all of them till she came to Nathan. But he wasn't alone he was sitting alone side a very busty blonde. Who to Haley, didn't look very innocent. She turned back to the barmaid and put her glass in front of her. "Will you fill that up please." Haley said looking at the girl in front of her. "One of those nights?" was all the girl could say staring back at Haley frowning while filling her glass. "Ohh yeah!" Haley said giving her the money.
When Nathan finally got to the booth he was met by Brooke. "Well?" Nathan just looked at Brooke with his eyes wide. "Well what?" he said taking the empty seat next to her. Brooke leaned closer to Nathan not amused by Nathan's avoidance of the subject. "Don't 'well what' me Mr. Scott. What happened with Haley?" Nathan looked away from Brooke and glanced down at the bar. "Nothing... she has a boyfriend." Nathan said coolly before turning his head back to her. Brooke shook her head laughing. "Like that has ever stopped you before." Nathan glared at the ex-cheerleader. "She made her choice." Nathan turned away from Brooke to see a tall young blonde woman. "Hi I'm Becki." The girl said in a high pitched voice. "I'm Nathan. Why don't you have a seat Becki." Nathan smirked at the blonde. 'and I'm making mine' Nathan thought to himself as he smirked at the blond in front of him.
A few minutes later, to Brooke's relief, Haley came up to the booth. "Hey all. So what did I miss?" Haley asked not looking at Nathan. "Trust me. nothing much." Brooke spat out referring to Becki. Haley through herself down on the seat next to Shawn. "What are you three talking about?" Haley asked Mick who was next to Shawn. "Basketball." Haley unconsciously glanced at Nathan and his new friend. "Ggoooddd, I got enough of that in high school..." Haley said laughing. Brooke looked at her friend and knew something was wrong. "...I don't want ANYTHING to do with basketball ever again." Haley wasn't looking at him but Nathan knew that was directed at him. Brooke shot a fierce glare Nathan way, she wanted to know what he had done to Haley.
"I'm back!" Cassidy sang making her presence known to the group. Cassidy put Haley's drink beside her now empty whiskey glass and sat next to her. "Good news on the barman front?" Brooke asked watching Cassidy's smile grow as she nodded. Haley glanced up from the table to see Nathan whisper something in Becki's ear and saw her through her head back in laughter. Haley rolled her eyes at the blonde. 'Nathan's not that funny.' She thought to herself as she watched him get up from his seat holding Becki's hand and leading her to the dance floor. Haley took the full glass that Cassidy had put on the table and downed it in one go. "I'm going to the bar. Anybody want anything?" Haley asked ignoring the concerned looks from Brooke and Lucas. Everybody shook their heads. Haley got up and made her way through the dance floor avoiding Nathan and Becki.
Brooke watched Haley walk away from the group and then disappear. She started to rise from her seat when she felt Lucas' hand on hers. "Let me go." Lucas said not moving his hand to Brooke's discomfort. All she could do was nod. Lucas squeezed her hand and smiled as he got up from his seat and went after Haley. Lucas met Haley by the bar. He watched her swallow the contents of her glass and get the barmaid to fill it up again. "Since when do you drink whiskey?" Haley turned around to see Lucas standing behind her. She rolled her eyes at him and punched his shoulder lightly. "Lucas we haven't seen each other in two years. What makes you think you I don't drink whiskey all the time?" Haley asked her words slurred. Lucas just stared at her not answering her question.
Lucas sat on the stool next to Haley. He watched her turn around in circles on the swizzle stool. "You're going to make yourself sick." Lucas shouted over the loud dance music at her. But Haley had already stopped. Lucas followed Haley's line of vision and saw Nathan and Becki dancing on the floor. Nathan chest was to Becki's back, his arms draped around her waist. Haley watched as Nathan put his hand on her stomach and pull her right against him. Lucas cringed at his brother antics. Haley hopped down from the stool nearly falling over but she quickly steadied herself. She made her way to the booth closely followed by Lucas. "Are you ready to go?" Haley asked Brooke while grabbing her phone off the table. "Yeah. Just let me call a cab." She said putting down the drink she was holding searching for her phone. "Here..." Lucas started, taking Brooke's phone from her. ".. I'll give you a lift." Brooke just nodded at the blonde boy in front of her.
The three of them were walking out the door when Brooke caught eye of Nathan and his little friend. "You two go on ahead, I'll be out in a second." Brooke whispered to Lucas. Brooke waited until Lucas and Haley were out of sight then she made her way over to Nathan. Brooke pulled Nathan away from Becki with one move. "What are you doing?" Nathan said annoyed that he was disturbed. Brooke shoved Nathan hard in the arm giving him a warning look. "You're an idiot. Do you know that?" Nathan rolled his eyes at her. "What are you talking about?" Nathan asked. "You know full well what I'm talking about. Haley just left drunk out of her head and it's because of you." Brooke screamed at him. She took a second to calm herself. "I hope you're happy Nate." With that Brooke left. Nathan just stood there not able to say a word. 'What the hell am I going to do' Nathan thought to himself running his hands through his hair.
Brooke quickly made her way out to Lucas' car and got in the front. "Where's Peyton?" Haley asked, her words running together. Brooke turned around and faced her friend. "She's staying on a bit longer and Cassidy is getting a cab home with the others." Brooke informed Haley giving Lucas an uneasy look. Lucas looked at Brooke and mouthed 'She will be o.k.' Brooke glanced back at Haley and saw her fast asleep.
After a quiet ride home, Brooke turned to wake Haley. "Haley... Hale's ... were home. Come on." Brooke coaxed Haley out of the car and onto their building. She turned back and looked at Lucas who was in the car. Brooke smile at him before closing the door. She helped Haley up the three flights and opened the door to their apartment just in time to rush Haley to the bathroom, before she threw up.
