Haley was in her bedroom thinking about this stupid party. She told to everybody that she was attracted to Lucas before but somehow she also said she still felt something for him now, and it was wrong, she never saw him more than her good friend Luke but she couldn't tell in front of everybody who was her dream guy, not now, not like this.
And now, Ryan was giving the cold shoulder to Lucas because of her. He was sure that somewhere he drove her to find him attractive. Why her life couldn't be easy ? she couldn't tell who she really loved, it was impossible and too hard.
Her phone rang one more time. It was the 10th time since Friday's party and she didn't want to talk to anybody. She looked at the I.D caller and sighed, it was him, Lucas. Brooke and Peyton tried to call her too but she didn't answer either, she wantedto be alone.
A soft knock on her door catched her attention, it was Jason with a plate and a glass. She smiled at him and he came in. He put the plate on her night sand with the glass. He put his arm around her and kissed her forehead.
"tell me what happened and why Lucas Scott is no more allowed in the house ?"
"God, Ryan really did that ? he is so stupid !"
Jason laughed a little and looked at her room. Once more, his eyes looked her photos. She was always smiling on them. And all her friends was on it, Lucas, Brooke, Peyton, Jake even Tim. He always noticed that only one photo of Nathan was on her wall, him and her on the beach but no others. He knew that Nathan and her was close. He was always protecting her from everything.
"so, Lucas and you have something going on ?"
"what ? no! Lucas is my friend, nothing else. What did this stupid brother of mine say ? I'm gonna kill him someday"
"relax, he didn't say nothing. He is just in his room alone, Lucas tried to call him but he didn't want to talk to him and he swore he'd kill him if he comes here"
"Lucas didn't do anything. God, it wasn't his fault, it was mine"
Jason was a little ill at ease. He didn't know if his sister was talking about sex or anything else.
"it wasn't even Lucas I wanted to say but you know me, I'm a coward and I said his name and then all I know is that everybody was looking at me and I ran away"
"I didn't understand anything but I'm with you little sister"
"I just want to be back at when things were normal, I want to be the bay girl of the family, I want daddy here to carry me on his shoulders. I want mommy here to make her cookies I loved so much..."
"you want have 8 again ? don't worry for me, you'll always be my 8 years old sister... nothing else, the time stopped when you had this age because you wasn't... changing, PMSing or something"
Haley laughed and buried her head in his neck.
"you aren't funny, you shouldn't be funny, I'm sad here!"
"well, I still don't know why so if you can tell me I can fix it maybe"
"well, tell to my stubborn and stupid brother that he can lay off Lucas and everything will be perfect."
Jason sighed and stroked her hair knowing that wasn't all.
Lucas found his brother on the court in their yard. He was shooting but missing every time. Lucas knew that Nathan was mad at him, he didn't understand why but he was. Haley has told this but Lucas was sure that it was in the past. Nothing between them was going on except their great friendship.
"hey little bro, can I play with you ?"
"what you want to steal my ball too ? the girl I wanted isn't enough ?"
"I didn't steal her... she wasn't yours and I didn't want her"
Nathan shoot once again and missed, Lucas fetched the ball and looked at Nathan.
"come on, Ryan is already not talking to me, don't do that too"
"you always had what you wanted and now, you even have what I want now give me the ball"
"or what ? you are going to hit me ? or maybe you are going to run into the next girl you see, like you did yesterday night ! by the way, nice move..."
"why do you care , why do I care ? she is not into me, big deal!"
Nathan took the ball from Lucas's hands and start dribbling.
"Nathan, I swear I didn't know about Haley's feelings. You know I would have told you if..."
"I don't care Lucas"
he made the next shot and threw a glare at his brother who understand that now Nathan didn't want to talk anymore.
Holly and Crystal were in the kitchen when Max came in. He smiled and took a bottle of water in the refrigirator. He sat next to Crystal and sighed.
"Ryan doesn't want to talk. Haley doesn't want to talk. What a great day in the James's house !"
"shut up Max ! I want to know what happened! Why the hell didn't you follow them to the party ? you could be useful right now but now, you were tired, you're always tired !"
Crystal and Max were always talking like this, it was always the fault of one of them but somehow it was working between them.
"hey it's their life not mine and not yours either, so put you big ass out of this and stay calm!"
"what ? you think I'm fat now ? I'm gonna show you if I'm fat"
"you can't honestly say that you didn't gain a little weight right ? you can't... owww, this hurts !"
Crystal was pinching him hard on the side and Max couldn't move anymore, Holly restrained a smile but when she saw Crystal ready to hit her brother she knew she had to play the role of mediator between the two of them.
"stop it.. somebody is gonna be hurt"
"yes him !"
"let him alone Crys... come on, you know you don't want to hurt him"
"yes, I want him to be hurt, cry little boy !"
"I won't cry... you little.. owww... Holly do something!"
"Crys, stop this... you aren't 10 now... Grow-up"
Crystal stopped but slapped her brother on the shoulder.
"don't even think about what you were thinking ! jerk !"
Haley was at her window, looking at the street. suddenly she saw Nathan's car pulling in her driveway. She saw him getting out and breathed. She watched him walk to her door and heard her bell rang. She went in the hallway and listenned him saying hello to her brothers and sisters. After she heard the step in the scale and soon he was in front of her.
"hey Nate, It's so good to see somebody who isn't the family"
"sorry i'm not my brother"
he by-passed her and walked until he was facing Ryan's door. He knocked and came in leaving Haley in the hallway alone and shocked.
"Can you believe this ? She was in love with him and she never told me"
Peyton watched as Brooke was pacing in her room.
"She didn't tell whe was in love with him, she said anything... You ask if someone was attracted, now or before, to someone else in the group, she was being honest"
"no being honest was telling me she wanted the boy I want, this is honesty"
"she doesn't even know about Lucas and your feelings... God I didn't know either until last week"
Brooke groaned and sat on her bed. Peyton put her hand on Brooke's knee and put her head on her shoulder.
"Haley didn't know anything and maybe she hasn't feelings for him since a long time"
"stop defend her Peyton, I'm hurt here !"
"Hales is our friend, our best friend ! you love her like I do, she likes Lucas, big deal you can have him, so now stop this okay ?"
Brooke sighed and layed on her bed, Peyton laughed and pushed a little her friend.
Ryan was on his bed playing with his ball and Nathan was sitting on the desk.
"Why can't I stop being so hateful toward Luke ? I mean it's my best friend, you know it and I know that Haley can choose who she wants but..."
"because you love her too much and you don't want to her to grow-up, that's all. You don't want to see anybody near her because you care about her too much"
"and you know what you are talking about"
Nathan was taken aback, did Ryan know about his feelings about Haley ?
"I know you love her like a sister, you and I are in the same boat, Man!"
"yes, in the same boat"
It wasn't true at all. Nathan was jealous, he wanted Haley for himself not shared her with her brothers. He was in love with her, now he knew... he was in love with her, it wasn't some crush without any importance, he wanted Haley, he needed her.
Haley walked as soon as possible to the Scotts's door. She knocked on the door and waited patiently until Lucas opened it. He was shocked to see her since she doesn't want to talk to him on the phone. He smiled lightly and let her coming in. She looked around her trying to figure if someone else was here but she couldn't hear anything. She knew that Nathan was at her house but she didn't know about Deb and Dan.
"listen, Haley, you have to know that I like you a lot but... God, this is hard but I have to say it"
"it was a lie, I lied to you and to everyone else. I felt and I feel nothing for you like this, you are just a friend"
Lucas was shocked, it was the second time in less than 24 hours that she was telling him something which could stop his breathing.
"so you feel nothing for me ? we are clear on this, right ? you didn't tell me this because knowing you could feel something for me was scaring me ?"
"who the hell do you think I'm ? you are one of my closest friend but that's all... hope I don't bruise your ego here !"
Lucas breathed heavily and started to laugh. Haley watched him in disbelief. She couldn't believe that he was laughing in her face. She started to get agitated and pput her hands on her hips.
"don't tell me you are laughing at me ! because you know I could kick your ass"
"it's just.. Hales, you said you had feelings for me in front of everyone but it was a lie and now, Ryan and Nathan are mad at me and Brooke but I don't really understand why she is mad... your little lie made some problems you know !"
"and you are laughing because I made problems between you and everybody ?"
Lucas walked to her and put his hands on her shoulders, trying to sound serious.
"I love you Haley, you know that, you are the perfect girl and sometimes I have to say I find you hot, but don't tell that to any of your brothers and not to my brother too. You scared the hell out of me when I knew you had feelings for me, I thought I was dead with all this mafia of brothers you have but in the end, I realized that something else scared me, the thought of losing you if I didn't feel the same. I love you Haley"
he hugged her and she started to relax in his arms. She put her arms around him and threw her head on the crook of his neck.
"I love you too Lucas"
neither of them heard the door when it opened by Nathan and Ryan.
