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: Hey guys, sorry this took a long time. My sister was in hospital and now she's out and she is very annoying because she can't do anything to 'strenuous' which means we have to wait on her hand and foot. Fun huh? And also my other sister is always on the computer so I don't get a lot of time to write. So sorry about the wait. Hope you like this chapter. Please review.


Haley woke the next morning with the biggest headache she had ever gotten. But then again Haley had never had so much to drink that she had thrown up before. 'I hate hangovers' Haley thought to herself as she pushed herself out of her bed making her head hurt even more. She squinted her eyes to adjust to the light as she pulled open the curtains. "Stupid sun!" she said taking in the view from her window. The only time she would have liked, even welcomed the rain, the sun had to be shining. Typical.

Haley walked slowly into the kitchen to only see it empty. She glanced at the clock on the cooker. It read 09:07. 'Oh for crying out loud. It's too early'. Haley whined to herself as she made her way to the bathroom to get cleaned up. "Aaaggghhh" Haley quickly shut the door and fled back into the kitchen. While trying to catch her breath Haley grabbed her chest.

Brooke emerged from her room rubbing her eyes. "What! What is it?" It was all she could say. She looked questionable at her friend. Haley stood shocked. "He... the bathroom... no clothes..." Haley couldn't string a full sentence together. "Haley, take a deep breath and tell me, in English, what happened." Brooke said trying to calm Haley down. She did as she was told and took a well needed breath and started again.

"I was going to the bathroom and..." just then Jake came out of the bathroom wearing what he had on the night before. "Sorry about that Haley." Out of nowhere Brooke broke into an uncontrollable laughter. "Haley your face is so red." She got out in between laughs. Haley shot Brooke a warning look before heading towards the bathroom.

"Nathan get up!" Lucas had been trying to get his brother out of bed for the past half hour. Lucas wasn't exactly pleased with Nathan's handling of last nights 'situation' and he was going to let him know about it. Lucas knew he didn't know the full story but he knew that Nathan and Haley hadn't talked since graduation. And now they were just catapulted into each others worlds.

"Two more minutes." Nathan mumbled from under the pillow. He had being trying to get the sound of cars beeping from reaching his ears by placing his pillow over his head. "You said that twenty minutes ago. I'm going out for breakfast in ten minutes and you're not staying in this hotel room for the rest of the day. So if you're not up in ten minutes I'm gonna hold that pillow down on your face real hard until you cant take another breath." With that threat Lucas left Nathan's hotel room. 'God, he really isn't a morning person' Nathan thought to himself while heading for the shower. "And how the hell did he get in here?" Nathan shook his head it was too early for thinking.

Haley came out of the bathroom a few minutes later to see Brooke, Peyton and Jake sitting in the kitchen eating breakfast. "How's the head?" Peyton asked watching Haley put a pop-tart in the toaster. "It's better than when I got up." she replied smiling. "I never knew you were a drinker Haley. But then again I also thought you were a knocker." Jake said not being able to let that one slide. "Ha ha very funny Jygalski." Haley said giving him a glare before everyone started laughing.

After Haley disappeared with her food into her room Jake just had to ask again. "So when did Haley start drinking so heavily?" he asked as he took another bite of his toast. It didn't go unnoticed to Jake the look that the two girls shared. "What?" Jake said laughing at the two girls. "Something kinda happened between her and Nathan last night." Brooke answered plainly. "Oh... so I'm guessing from her hangover that didn't work out very well." Jake replied lowering his voice when he heard Haley's door open when she returned t the kitchen.

Haley was left alone in the kitchen thinking while Brooke went to work and Peyton was showing Jake around the city. Haley had contemplated calling one of the girls to see if they wanted to do anything but decided against it. Haley thoughts were interrupted the faint sound of. "The A Team" Haley said confused. The sound was coming from Jake's jacket which he had left. Haley searched the pockets and found his cell phone. 'Lucas' was flashing on the screen. Haley paused for a second not knowing if she should answer Jake's phone. 'I doubt he'd mind. It's only Luke anyway' Haley thought to herself while pressing the call button.

"Hey" Nathan stood in shock recognizing the voice. He pulled the phone from his ear to check if he had called Jake like he meant to. He had. 'Why is Haley answering Jake's phone? Why does she even have it?' Nathan's thought were interrupted by Haley. "Hellooo.... Lucas?" Haley asked when no one answered her. "Naw, its Nate. Is Jake there?"

Haley gasped at the sound of Nathan's voice on the other end of the line. Haley scoffed at Nathan's attempt at a hello. But if he wanted to act cold towards her, she would dish it right back. "No he's out. Can I take a message?" Nathan thought Haley sounded like a secretary. "Ahh no. Where did he go?" he asked knowing full well what Haley was doing. "I don't know but I'll tell him you called when he gets back. Bye" Haley said in a very fake happy voice. "Haley wait." Nathan yelled down the phone trying to get her attention.

Haley's forehead was creased as she took a deep breath before letting him know she was still there. "What?" There was no tone in her voice as she answered him. "I want to talk." Nathan said practically asking her. "You want to talk. Well gee Nathan, colour me confused because what are we doing now?" Haley spit out at him not trying to hold back the angry tone her voice was carrying. "Well Haley this isn't talking, this is verging on arguing." Nathan simply stated.

Nathan continued when she didn't answer him. "Look, we didn't really get a chance to talk last night so..." Haley interrupted him. "Well whose fault is that?" she said sternly. Nathan was growing agitated at Haley's growing bitchy-ness. "Well I'm gonna take a stab at it and say it was mine." Nathan answered sarcastically. Haley was clutching Jake's phone so tightly that she was sure she was leaving nail marks on it. "Actually yeah and the fact that you kept shoving blondie in my face." Haley bit her lip knowing she may have gone a bit too far. "Why would that matter... unless you're jealous."

Nathan made it sound like a statement but really he wanted to know if he had succeeded in his task. She hurt him, he hurt her. "Oh Nathan come on." Haley laughed his sentence hoping that the falseness would go unnoticed to him. "And Haley the only thing in your face last night was a glass of whiskey, which you don't drink." Nathan had tried to ignore Haley's come back. "And how would you know what I drink?" Haley bit back at him. Nathan scoffed at the thought of Haley drinking whiskey regularly. "Because I know you Haley." Nathan said matter-of-factly. "No you don't Nathan. And maybe you never did." Nathan didn't have time to respond to Haley because before he knew it she had hung up. Nathan stood staring at the cell phone in his hand for a minute not knowing what he done.

Haley quickly shoved Jake's cell back in his jacket before going and sitting on the couch. She glanced around the room and the only thing that stood out was the phone so she grabbed at and without hesitating she dialed. It took a few rings for him to answer but he did. "Hello"—"Hey Simon, you doing anything to night?"
