Hey everyone! Thanks for all the reviews! So, there wasn't a chapter yesterday, sorry. But I do have two going up today, both which I just wrote. So, enjoy!

Let Me Go

Chapter Thirteen: The Fight

At the sight of her best friend, Brooke Davis felt more then sad. She bit her lip softly as she watched Haley, who had a sullen look on her face, and red eyes.

Brooke gave her friend a squeeze. "I've never seen you so sad, Hales."

Haley looked up, giving a small nod. "Yes you have."

Brooke's eyes widened. "Oh Haley, I'm so sorry. I forgot.."

"It's okay. I'm just depressed and tired, and I really don't want to face Jake or Nathan."

"I just don't understand why you didn't pick Nathan, I mean, if you love him, then why would you let Jake stand in the way?"

Haley sighed, turning towards Brooke. "I don't know. He doesn't deserve me. Nathan deserves someone sporty, and amazing. Someone who will just blow him away, and someone way cooler then Haley James will do and be just that for him."

"I think you're wrong. Haley James is very cool."

Haley smiled despite herself, giving Brooke a hug. "Thanks."

Nathan was looking for Haley. He had one more chance to prove to her that he was the guy for her, and she didn't need Jake. She was probably afraid for him and their relationship or something, but Nathan knew she wanted him, as she had told him. Maybe it was wrong, that he still wanted her, but he just couldn't take it. Haley James as the girl for him, that was for sure.

Jake was also looking for Haley. He'd felt that they'd gotten off on the wrong foot, and she had said that she'd loved him. He on the other hand, wanted to kill Nathan, who'd known his feelings for Haley when he'd gone off telling her he'd loved her.

At the same time, the two boys spotted her, and began walking towards her. Both stopped as they realized what the other was doing, and both looked at each other.

Jake was beyond pissed off, and Nathan had a feeling Jake knew exactly what had gone on between him and Haley. They stepped towards each other, and Jake began first.

"I can't believe you, you backstabbing asshole!"

"Jake, you had it coming! You had to know she didn't love you!"

"She does love me!" People were now beginning to look.

Nathan chuckled. "Yeah, keep telling yourself that, Man."

He began walking towards Haley, but stopped when he felt Jake grab him, turn him around, and punch him in the face.

Gasps echoed around him, and blind with anger, he charged towards Jake.

"You fucker!" Jake yelled at the top of his lungs as he tried to push Nathan away from him.

"Oh, that was really a pierce in the heart! Shut up!" It was a back and fourth thing between them. While screaming insults, Nathan would punch Jake, and then Jake would punch Nathan.

Haley was watching this with wide eyes. She rushed towards the center, trying to pry them apart, but when Jake shot up to hit Nathan, he hit her backwards, into Brooke.

People weren't even trying to pry them off of each other, they were just cheering, or watching Haley hold her arm in pain.

Nathan stood up, walking towards Haley. "Hales, let me explain something to you-"

Jake cut him off, jumping onto his back, and taking him down, "Explain this!"

The two kept fighting, until they were finally pulled apart by Lucas and Tim, who had run in on the action just seconds before.

Both of the panting, bleeding, bruised boys looked towards Haley.

"Haley, you have to pick one." Jake sighed.

She looked back and forth between Nathan and Jake, tears filling up in her eyes.

"Fine, I choose neither." With that, she walked away, with Brooke hot on her trail, comforting her friend.
