Chapter 7: All Confused
A/N: Unfortunately, nothing changed. I still don't own the characters of One Tree Hill. Thank you to all those loyal reviewers! Read and Review, please. Enjoy!
"LETS GO RAVENS!"
It was their first away game, and each cheerleader had something different on mind. Haley was thinking about Nathan. I should've trusted my instincts. He's a complete and total ass. Brooke was thinking about Lucas. I need to get over him. He obviously got over me. Peyton was thinking about Nikki. Stupid psycho bitch.
The players weren't any better. Nathan was thinking about Haley. She looks so beautiful. I just can't believe she thinks I'm an ass. I'm going to just have to act like an ass now to get back at her. Lucas was thinking about Brooke. I need to get her back. Jake was thinking about Nikki. I don't know if I should trust her.
"Scott for the win!"
The buzzer rang. The ball went right through the net, like usual. Luke scored the winning shot, making the Ravens win 54-52.
"I can't believe how screwed up everything is getting, Tutorgirl."
"I know. You guys will never believe what I did Friday night."
"Nathan?"
"Funny. No. I asked him why we weren't friends, told him he was, "superhot", and then asked him to marry me."
"Oh My God!"
"I know. Then I totally blew up on him and told him he was the same arrogant ass I knew he was."
"Haley! Things were going so well for the two of you."
"No they weren't. We weren't fighting 24/7 like usual. That doesn't mean anything."
"Yes it does. It means that-"
"Hey sexy."
"Excuse me."
"I can't help but look at you, Haley."
"Do I know you?"
"No, but you should."
"Listen crazy stalker man, if I were you, I'd get out of her face before I kick your ass."
"Who are you?"
"I'm going to be your enemy if you don't move."
"Listen, I'm here for Haley and-"
"How the hell do you know my name?"
"I overheard you and your friends talking."
"Well listen you perve, if I were you I'd leave."
"Why?"
"Excuse me, I have a boyfriend."
"Well I don't see him here."
At this point Nathan, Jake and Lucas came over seeing Haley arguing with this guy.
Nathan decided to step in, "Then look again," Nathan said slipping his hand around Haley's shoulder, "But not at her, cause if you do, I'll kick your ass back to whatever hick town you're from."
The man started walking away as Haley screamed, "Oh, and have a nice day!"
Nathan and Haley both smirked at the look the guy gave them, and turned back around to their friends.
"What?"
Brooke, Lucas, Jake and Peyton all stared on.
"What the hell was that?"
Nathan and Haley looked at them then each other and moved away from each other as quickly as possible.
"Just saving her ass making sure she doesn't get raped again."
The rest just looked on with their mouths opened wide as he walked away.
"I totally can't believe Nate is being a jackass to Haley like that."
"Peyt, Nathan uses that as a defense mechanism, you should know that."
"I know but, like before all this shit started, do you remember how they used to be close?"
"Yeah."
"I wonder what happened with them."
"Yeah…."
Haley was sitting home alone crying. I knew he was an ass. I can't believe he said that.
"What the hell is wrong with me?" Nathan thought aloud.
"I am an ass."
"Peyt."
"Yeah"
"Listen, about Nikki."
"Jake, I don't trust her."
"I know that. But Peyton, no matter what Jenny is a part of her. If Nikki let some random stranger adopt Jenny, I wouldn't be happy."
"So now I'm just some stranger."
"What? Peyton, no."
"No, Jake. I've known you since I was 7. I've been there for you through everything, including Nikki getting pregnant, and leaving!"
"Peyton!"
"No, Jake. I'm leaving."
"Peyton!"
"Jake—do whatever you want. Just don't come crying to me when everything backfires."
As soon as Peyton left the room, Jake picked up the phone and dialed a familiar number.
"Nikki?"
Brooke was on her way home from her walk when she accidentally ran into someone.
"Oh, I'm sorry," she started, never looking up, "I wasn't looking where I was going."
"Brooke?"
Brooke looked up into the eyes of Lucas, and started walking away.
"Brooke!"
"Brooke! You didn't let me explain!"
"This isn't a test, Lucas. I don't want a short response!"
And with that, Brooke walked away. For the second time in one week.
Up next on Accidentally In Love:
"Nathan, why do you act like this! I remember that night, punk. I remember you comforting me when I was crying. What changed Nathan? I understand you don't like me, but does that really make you want to use my rape as something to bother me with!"
"Haley, I'm sorry! I'm an ass. Can we just start fresh?"
"No Nathan. And right now, I don't even want to look at you."
And then...
"With Brooke…it's complicated. I told her I wanted to be with her. She told me no. She went looking for me. She saw me with Kara. She freaked, and didn't let me explain."
"Kara! Oh wowww! You need to explain!"
"What about you?"
"I messed things up with Haley."
"What? Cause in my world, things with you and Haley were always messed up."
And finally..
"Nikki…listen, for you to even see a little of Jenny, I want to make some agreements...First of all-"
Nikki cut him off by kissing him.
"Jake, listen, I was thinking about what you were—"
