Chapter 15 – a present not to keep
"Haley are you alright" Nathan asked observing her tears.
"Oh yeah just uh" she said whipping her tears "a letter from my parents" she said giving him a smile he looked at the ring and key
"What's that" he asked sitting down across from her drinking some Gatorade from out of the fridge
"Oh just some jewelry you know" she said as he grabbed the envelope that was from Haley
"Whose Rachel and Michael Margaret?" he said looking at the names on the envelope as if it were gibberish.
"Oh you know just friends of mine from Michigan" she said nodding
"Oh ok"
"You know I think I'll go upstairs and take a nap"
"Ok see you" he said then he quickly yelled out "hey Haley can we talk about-"
"Nathan it was a mistake you're with Vicki and it was stupid we just you know slipped"
"Yeah right I know"
"Ok I'm" she pointed upstairs he nodded and she left just like that
Upstairs
Haley ran upstairs and went straight to the phone you would think her first thought would be to call her biological parents but something inside of her told her that her foster parents were more important right now.
So she picked up the phone and slowly dialed the number when she heard that first words her heart felt as if it had crumbled to shreds
"Hello Margaret residents" although Haley had only been there about a year she was very close to them there she had brothers and sisters that weren't a disappointment to the parents and she could hang out with them Jon was like her Tim Lucas and Nathan he treated her as if she were a peace of gold that was worth billions of dollars and protected her like she were a piece of glass about to brake.
Kim treated her like the sister/best-girl-friend she never had she wasn't happy because of the situation she was in but she missed them. Then Michaels voice came onto the receiver once again
"Hello Margaret residents could I help you" she snapped out of her trance
"Hi umm Michael is mom there?"
"Yes may I ask whose speaking?"
"It's me Haley James"
"Oh my gosh hold on one moment" she could hear him tell Rachel "it's Haley James"
"Oh my" she said with excitement "Haley sweetie how are things are you alright oh my dear I miss you"
"I miss you to Rachel I'm fine I just got your letter and thought id give you a call"
"Oh did your present come yet"
"Ummm I got the ring and the key" Haley said wishing that was the present she meant
"Oh you did that's great dear but there's something else coming"
"Oh I really don't need you to send me things I'm happy here with everything I have"
"I'm sure you are but you can't keep this present" she started yelling in the background "Gretchen don't touch that sweetie it will brake" "sorry what was I saying now"
"We-"Haley was interrupted by the sound of something braking
"Oh Haley dear I need to go it was wonderful talking to you again I love you dear bye" she said before Haley could say anything more.
"Bye" Haley said before hanging the phone up then she heard a yell from downstairs "Haley I'm gonna get in the shower after I unpack, your bags are at the bottom of the stairs"
"Thanks Nathan" she went down stairs and got her bags she unpacked the clean clothes and the dirty ones she putt in a basket she trudged to Nathan's room across the hall
"Nathan can I have your dirty clothes"
"Ewww for what"
"To wash them you idiot"
"Oh here you go" he said throwing them in the basket she was holding.
"Thank you I'm gonna throw a load of wash now so you can wait to take your shower"
"Fine" she walked down stairs in the laundry room and put a load of wash threw.
on her way back upstairs she was gonna go to bed when the phone rang she thought it might be Rachel or Kim or even Jon she ran t the phone screaming "I got it I got it" she answered it and a smile erupted on her face "hello"
"Hey Haley" her face dropped
"Oh hi Brooke"
"Gees it's great to see you too"
"Oh sorry I thought you were someone else"
"No the one and only Brooke Davis at your service or more like my service or what ever Haley tonight make room in your living room cuz everyone is coming over"

"Oh Brooke I was kind of hoping to have a nice day off and sleep the rest of the night it's what umm 4:30 can't I have a night to peace"
"God you make it sound like hanging out with us is work"
"It is"Haley mumbled but luckily Brooke didn't hear her"alright when everyone is coming over" Haley said giving up she knew she couldn't beat the battle against Brooke.
"Good, around like 5:00"
"Ugh fine see you then"
"Bye friend" Haley headed upstairs and went straight to Nathan room he was singing along to ludacis she started laughing at him he turned around to see her leaning against his door frame laughing
"Haley how long you been there"
"Long enough to know that you call her baby cakes" she said laughing "no I'm just kidding Brooke just called were having a small party games and movies she said"
"Great where"
"Here" she said turning around "I'll let you get back to your 'splash waterfalls'" she said walking away.
At about 4:45 people started to pile in Brooke Lucas Peyton Jake and Vicki were all there they were just waiting for Tim.
Nathan was getting ready to take his shower and Haley was getting everyone situated when the door bell rang
"oh hold on I'll get that" Haley said running to the door she opened the door and was speechless to the sight she saw she stood there not knowing what to do she just stood there speechless.
