Hey, I've been trying to update this but I've not been able to sign in here. Sorry. Here isanother update, a little more laleyness in this one even if it's mostly flashbacks.


Chapter seven: In my head there's only you now

Lucas lay awake in his bed at night, staring at the sealing letting his mind wander to all the happy moments he had shared with Haley before she left…

Flashback

Lucas woke up at the sound of a ringing phone and he reached to pick it up.

"Hello?" He answered groggily.

"So there was a phone where you were last night?" His mother asked jokingly.

"Mom? Yeah, sorry about that Hales and I fell asleep on the couch." That was actually not a lie; they were asleep on the couch.

"Oh, well when she wakes up will you remind her that she's working today?" Karen said smiling.

"Sure mom. Bye." Lucas hung up the phone as Haley began to stir.

"Lucas? Who was that on the phone?" She mumbled.

"My mom, she wanted me to remind you that you're working today. She just had to ruin my day didn't she?" He joked.

"Mothers have the power." Haley joked back.

"When do you have to be at the café?"

"Well I have to be there by 11 so I have to…" She glanced at the clock and saw that it was almost 12, she flew up from the couch forgetting about her lack of clothes.

"My-gosh you're beautiful." Lucas smiled at his girlfriend. She immediately pulled the blanket around herself, leaving him with nothing. "Hey!" He protested.

"My blanket!" She stuck her tongue out at him and ran upstairs to take a shower but before she ran she turned and added. "You joining me sexy?" He laughed and chased her up the stairs caching her at the top and started to tickle her while she laughed as well…

End of flashback

After that memory had passed another one came into his mind…

Flashback

Lucas had just started playing for the Ravens and was not getting along with his team-mates too well, well they didn't want to get along with him. He walked into the café hoping that his girlfriend could cheer him up, he walked up behind her as she was taking an order from an old lady. He grabbed her around her waist and spun her around kissing her neck, she shrieked from surprise.

"Lucas!" She accused as he put her back down. "I'm working!"

"So?" He said before kissing her softly on her lips.

"So don't do that. You'll have to wait until I'm on a break."

"You're no fun." He pouted. The old lady smiled at the young lovers in front of her.

"Why don't you take my order and then go for a break. I'll talk to the boss if she doesn't let you two be out in the sun on such a lovely day." The old lady continued smiling as she said this.

"Oh, I think I can handle the boss, she's my mom." Lucas said as he turned. "Mom! Can Hales take a break and hang out with me for a while?" He yelled and his mother soon walked out of the kitchen.

"What? A break now, during the rush?" Karen asked as if Lucas had lost his mind.

"Yeah, I've had a really, really bad day and I need my girlfriend. Please mom, pretty please?" He begged.

"Well, okay. But you're helping out here after practise tomorrow so that I can have a night off." Karen said.

"Fine. Hales finish taking the nice lady's order so that we can go out in the sun for a while."

"Okay." Haley turned back toward the lady to take her order and soon she and Lucas were walking through the park hand in hand.

"Come on Hales, lets walk barefoot on the grass, please?"

"No Lucas, I'm not going to take off my shoes and walk on the grass."

"Stop being so boring, I need someone to cheer me up." Lucas said as he picked her up and ran onto the grass. Soon he laid down on his back with her on top of him, he rolled over so that he was on top and she laughed.

"I told you it'd be fun." He smiled before kissing her. "You're beautiful Hales." He said as he pulled away. "I love you."

"Stop it you're making me blush!" She said before she registered his last words. "You love me?"
"Yeah, I do. I love you Haley James."

"I love you too." She said smiling.

End of flashback

Soon his thoughts stopped their walk down memory lane and started to form new 'what if' memories instead…

Flashback/What if she hadn't left?

Lucas walked into Haley's room and found her sitting on her bed staring at the bathroom door. He sat down beside her and stared at the same spot trying to figure out what was bothering her.

"What's up Hales?"

"Nothing, why?"

"Because you're staring at a completely boring door as if it was actually interesting."

"Oh… um… I just got lost in thoughts I guess."

"Thoughts about what? Me?" He asked.

"No, of course not about you. Why would you think that?" She quickly answered, a little too quickly.

"Because I'm your incredibly hot boyfriend." He smirked as she playfully hit his shoulder.

"Luke! Okay maybe I was thinking about you but that was most definitely not the reason."

"Then what is it?"

"I need to talk to you, I mean we need to talk, I mean you and I need to have a talk…" She started to ramble but he cut her of with a small kiss.

"What is so important that you decided to use the four words of doom?" He joked but she did not laugh.

"Oh, babe I'm so sorry I didn't mean to say that."

"Don't apologize just tell me what's wrong?"

"Nothing's wrong, I hope. That depends on your reaction but…" He kissed her again.

"Don't ramble, just tell me." He whispered softly.

"I'm pregnant." She mumbled barley audible looking down at her hands.

"Y-you're what?" He said in shock.

"I'm pregnant Luke." She said again not lifting her gaze from her hands. He put a hand under her cheek and forced her to look at him.

"Look at me Hales, you don't have to be scared of me. I love you more than anything okay?"

"Okay but I'm still scared. I mean what am I supposed to do Luke? I'm only 17." She started to cry and he took her in his arms.

"It's going to be okay Hales, I'll be here, always."

End of flashback/What if she hadn't left?

Lucas fell asleep somewhere in between these memories and make up memories and he slept until the next day. Haley on the other hand did not get much sleep since Oliver woke her up every other hour. When she arrived to school the next day she felt horrible, she was so tired that she forgot which classroom her first class was in and ended up being late.

Later that day Nathan and Jake were walking toward the gym and they found Haley half asleep sitting on the ground, leaning against a wall. Nathan bent down and pushed some hair out of her face.

"Hey there! Late night?" He smiled.

"Yeah, Oliver refused to let me sleep." She said with a tired smile. Jake joined them on the ground.

"Are you guy's friends or something? Who's Oliver?" He asked.

"Yeah we're friends." Nathan turned back to Haley. "If you need any help with him just give me a call okay? I know what a pain in the ass Lucas can be and it's only to be expected that he passed that ability on to his son right?" Nathan joked and Haley gave him another tired smile before rising from the ground.

"Thanks I appreciate it, I have to get to class and hopefully I remember which classroom I'm supposed to be in." She hugged Nathan before she left. "Bye Jake."

"Luke has a kid? Does he know about this?" Jake asked.

"Yeah he has, I don't know if he knows though hang on a sec." Nathan jogged after Haley. "Hey Hales!" She turned around.

"What's up Nate?"

"Does Lucas know yet? I mean can I talk to him about it?"

"I-I haven't told him but he knows, he's seen Oliver."

"Oh, ok. I'll talk to him then. He'll come around, the last person he wants to become is Dan."

"Yeah? I don't know if I can just forgive him after how he treaded me the past week and a half, it may take a while." She said sadly.

"I know but give him a chance to explain himself." Nathan said before giving her a hug and leaving. He jogged back to Jake and they headed to the gym, inside they found Lucas sitting on the benches lost in thought.

"Hey man, what's up? Did anything happen?" Nathan asked concerned.

"Did you know?" Lucas rose his sad, tear strained face.

"Know what?"

"About Haley and Oliver."

"Yeah, well I found out when I went to see her."

"Why didn't you tell me?"
"Because she asked me not to. You hurt her bad man, you need to win her back. You both need it."

"What if she doesn't want that?"

"Trust me she does, she could really need some help. Have you seen her today?"

"No, why?"

"She has been awake pretty much the whole night, she looks horrible."

"No, she could never look horrible. She's always beautiful." Lucas stated burying his face in his hands again.

At lunch both Jake and Nathan sat down at the same table as Haley but it didn't stop Brooke from being a bitch. She walked up to them before sitting with her friends.

"Hi, you look terrible, rough night huh?" She gave Haley a knowing smile before leaving.

"Don't let her get to you, she's just being Brooke." Jake said.

"Well that doesn't make it hurt any less." Haley responded.

Brookes next victim was Lucas who was standing outside the school, she walked toward him with a seductive smile on her lips.

"Lukey." She greeted him. "Did you actually date tutor freak or is she just one of your admirers?"

"Why would you think she was an admirer?"

"Do you know where my tattoo is?"

"Um… no, I don't."

"It's right here." She pointed to the top of her jeans' right side. "You know what tutor freak has there? The number three." She said and gave him a peck on the cheek before leaving.
