Chapter 9
Waking up to Reality…
I began to wake up as sun rays entered in my room. While I was waking my head began to pound. I lifted my hand to my head, as if trying to ease the pain, but I couldn't help to experience even more ache. I started to open my eyes, but I rapidly closed them because of the bright light hurting my eyes, the light that illuminated my room.
'So this is how it feels like to have a hangover,' I tell myself as I lay on my bed.
I had absolutely no energy to get up so I continued to lie on my bed. Abruptly, I felt the bed move. It appeared that someone lay beside me, still sleeping and changing their sleeping position. Worry, amazement, and wonderment ran through my entire body.
"What the fuck?" I said aloud as I get up quickly and carelessly opened my eyes.
The figure beside me began to move again.
I got up, but ended up fumbling onto the floor. With a loud thump my head began to pound even harder. With much strength that I did not have, I stood up, and walked recklessly toward my window. When I finally reached it, I closed my blinds and opened my eyes wider.
The figure began to move again as I got closer.
'Who the hell is on my bed?' I ask myself as I was mere inches apart from whoever it was.
I could not see who it was because of the darkness in my room. I finally reached the figure that lay on my bed. My eyes finally began to get worn to the darkness and I began to observe that the person was tall. I could pick out brown hair lying on the pillow. I shifted my eyes toward the floor and noticed a pair of white tennis shoes.
"K-Swiss shoes…" I mumbled out loud, frustrated.
"Nathan!" I yell a loud as I tapped him harshly.
He began to wake up as I pounded on him.
"What the hell?" Nathan answered aggravated and still dazed.
"Nathan what the hell did you do?!" I asked him angry as I milled him.
"What the hell are you talking about?" he questioned me, annoyed of waking him.
"What are you doing in my room?" I screamed as I hit him again.
"Would you just chill!" he responded, exasperated as he grabbed my on-coming fist.
"Nathan how would you react if you found someone on your bed, someone who you strongly dislike by the way," I added in. "Tell me, what the hell would you do?"
"Well you really want to know what I would do if I found someone as incredibly handsome like me on my bed, if I was a girl?" he asked me with a smirk, now fully awake.
"Could there ever be a time when sex isn't on your mind? Or could there ever be a time when you don't have so much air in your head?" I flared at him. "I'm being serious, what the hell are you doing in here?" I asked him, giving up on the punches and calming down.
"You know, I never knew you had such a strong punch Haley. For a goody-too shoes, tutor girl, you do know how to punch. Ever considered playing girls softball?" he asked me as he got up, revealing his defined six pack.
"Put a shirt on," I uneasily demanded.
"Why? Am I making you a little nervous?" he asked me as he leaned in closer.
"No," I manage to say, "I don't fall for the Nathan Scott charm."
"Really? So I do have a charm, huh?" he persisted to question me as he got nearer.
"Shut up Nathan."
"Besides, I can't…you have it on," he finally responded, as he sat back down on the bed.
"What?" I reply as I gaze down at my clothes.
Sure enough I was wearing his red and black sweater with a pair of baggy sweats.
"How in the hell am I wearing your sweater?" I ask him as I adjusted the oversized top.
"Well after you decided to pass out on the toilet I had to take you up to your room. After I laid you on the bed, I decide that it's best for to change from your clothes. I found those pair of pants on your bed and I couldn't find a sweater 'cause it was pretty chilly last night and you were shivering so I just gave you my sweater."
"Yeah all of my sweaters are downstairs in the closet," I informed him.
"Well I obviously didn't know that…" he stated
There was an awkward silence.
"By the way, Haley, I never thought of you as a black lacy bra kind of girl," he told me as he crossed his arms and smirked. "I have to say I was pretty amazed…"
I immediately began to blush.
'Oh my God, Nathan Scott not only changed my clothes but saw my underwear,' I remarked to myself silently.
"Well only a prev like you would check out a girl when she's wasted and passed out," I commented harshly, hiding my embarrassment.
"I am the Nathan Scott as you said before. Besides shouldn't you give me a little appreciation for saving you last night? Not only did I protect you from having sex, but I carried you to the bathroom before you started puking. I believe that I do deserve a, 'Thank you Nathan for helping me out last night and for being my knight and shinning armor…'" he responded.
"I cannot deal with you this early in the morning," I retorted as I turned around. "My head is pounding and with you talking to me this early in the morning, it's not making my massive headache any better," I added as I walked towards the door.
"So Miss straight-A Haley James has a hangover? How does it feel?" he asked me with a grin as he got off the bed.
"ARG!" I yell as I opened the door and walk into the hallway.
I walk down the hallway, along the stairs, and I notice the mess that last night's festivities has made. There are countless cups on the floor, couch and basically everywhere. I couldn't walk so well because of all the trash scattered on the floor.
"Looks like a hurricane of drinking teenagers passed through your house," mentioned Nathan as he looked at the mess. "Looks like the James' party was a success."
"A success?" I asked him astounded at his comment.
"Yup. When I have parties at the each house I have this much damage or sometimes even more. I remember when I had a party at my house right after the game when we beat your boyfriend's Steven Garrison from Bear Creek HS team. God, now that was a frenzied house."
I just stood agape at what he said.
"What?" he asked confused.
"Never mind," I responded as I turned around and walked towards the living room.
I sauntered carefully to the living room and was shocked to find someone or should I say two individuals sleeping on the couch. I ambled closer to the figures and recognized the tousled blonde hair of the boy and the dark brown hair of the girl.
"Lucas?" I questioned as I now stood by his side and poked him. "Wake up sleepyhead…" I mumbled as I poked him harder.
"Arg…" uttered Lucas a she began to wake. "Hales?" he asked as he opened his eyes.
"What? All the rooms were occupied or what?" I questioned him jokingly.
"Yeah so we had to take the couch," he stated referring to Brooke and himself.
"Oh I see…"
"What are you wearing?" he immediately asked me as his eyesight got cleared.
"A sweater and some sweats," I responded as I looked at my ensemble.
"You mean Nathan's sweater," he corrected me as he got off the couch and left a sleeping Brooke behind.
"It's not that big of a deal," I retorted as I got closer to him.
"Well I guess I'll leave you and your boyfriend," he said as he shifted his gaze behind me. "Tell Steven that I'm going to stop by later so we can play some ball at the court," he added as he stormed out of the house.
'What the hell?' I questioned myself as I began to turn around.
Sure enough, Nathan stood behind me shirtless; all he was wearing were his boxers and some jeans.
"What?" he asked irritated.
AN: Hey what's up u guys?! Well here is another chapter and god I am so tired right now. I just updated TSE and this one…I am exasperated! Well anyways, hope u liked the chapter…and I know that I didn't have a lot of action or anything but at least now I've built the whole Lucas not liking the whole Nathan and Haley ordeal.
BTW, for those of u who asked me about what was the big deal about Haley hooking up with someone from the rival team…well u know how Nathan is with rival teams and whatever. And Nathan wore off on Steven so they aren't big fans of their rival team…so… and yes Steven is new to the whole basketball thing, but they have played Bear Creek before so he has already met them. Hope that clears up some of the confusion!
Also I am oh so lazy to join the two parts of Chapter 9, so I am just going to keep it like it is!
