Story-chapter2-Fights,secrets and lies

"Ok class everyone take your seats while I take role," Ms. Edmonds, the 5th grade teacher at Tree Hill Elementary, said in a sweet voice.

"Guess what Brie?" Carson asked his best friend Brianna(Brie for short)

"What?"

"This weekend my mom is taking me to "The Wreakers" concert and she said I can bring a friend. And so I want you to come. Do you want to?"

"Oh my gosh! Yes! Totally! I mean do you even have to ask?"

"I knew you would want to come. So, I call you tonight and we can make plans because it will be….."

"Class listen up now. We are going to start class." Ms. Edmonds interrupted.

"Hey baby! How was your day at school?" Nathan asked as Brie got into the car.

"It was great! At recess some guy was running at ran straight into a pole. It was so funny daddy!" Brie said full of excitement.

"Well is he alright?" Nathan asked concerned

"I donno I just thought it was funny"

Nathan gave up it was no use fighting with a 5th grader.

When they got home Brie did her homework and got a phone call from Carson but she wasn't the one that picked up the phone

"Mom how long 'till dinner?" Carson asked.

"Umm… like an hour. Why?" Haley replied.

"I wanted to call my friend, to see if she is allowed to come to the concert with us."

"Alright baby she can come."

Carson ran to his room picked up the phone and dialed Brie's number. He knew it by heart.

"Hello," a man's voice said. (Nathan)

"Hi! Is Brie there?"

"Yea man one second. Wait, who is this first?" Nathan asked being the protective dad that he is.

"Oh, this is Carson."

Anger raged in Nathan and without even thinking he hung up on the young boy.

"Who was that?" Abby asked from the stove where she was preparing dinner.

"Oh no one important." Nathan said putting his hands around his wife and kissing her.

"No Nathan I know it was someone. Don't lie to me!" She shouted with rage and pulling his hands off of her. "I hate it when you lie! I know I might be overreacting but it's just a person on the phone. The only person I can think of that YOU would lie about was if it was Carson James or…." Abby finally got it "Oh my god I can't believe you. Call back and say the line got disconnected and let Brie talk to her friend don't punish her for your mistakes years ago." With that said, actually scolded, she left the room and seconds later he heard the front door shut and the car start.

"Oh god! Why do I always do this?" Nathan asked himself. Abby and him didn't fight often but when she was mad well, she was defiantly mad. Abby usually only left the house when they had a fight about Haley or Carson. After she left he would usually get drunk and pass out someplace in the house. It was the only time he drank.

Nathan obeyed Abby's orders, called back, apologized and gave the phone to Brie.

"Hey Brie! Umm… does your dad hate me?"

"I don't think so. He just said that you got disconnected. But anyways did you ask your mom if I can come to the concert!"

"Ok, yea you can come you just have to ask your parents now." Carson said.

Brie didn't know what to say because her mom had gone to who knows where and her dad was either really drunk or passed out by now and she didn't want to tell Carson about that.

"Umm… actually I have to go," she said quickly

"But… Why? We just started talking."

"I… I just have to go," she stuttered. And before Carson could answer she hung up.

"That's weird. Maybe she doesn't like me as much as I thought she did," Carson thought.

After Brie had hung up she bursted into tears.

"Why?" She cried aloud. What she was thinking was "Why does my dad hate Carson so much. And why did I lie to him when he asked about it when I knew my dad did hate him. And why does mom and dad only fight about Carson and his mom. Why doesn't dad like Carson's mom."

She had a million thoughts running through her head and when this happened she did the only thing she thought she could do. Cry! She always felt like such a baby. She was in 5th grade and crying. She hated it but she didn't know what else to do.

"Honey, what's wrong"

Brie jumped, saw her mom standing at the door and quickly wiped her tears away.

"Nothing," she lied hoping her mom would believe her.

"Brie I'm your mom. I know when something is wrong. Now tell me what it is," Abby said sweetly but thought "God what is it with people lying tonight"

"Mom, why does dad hate Carson?"

"Oh Sweetie, He doesn't hate Carson. Its just the old phone got disconnected."

"Ok then I'm fine now. That's all I wanted to know." Brie lied but saw her mom giving her the "I don't believe you look." God she hated that look.

"Mom, I'm really fine. Honest!"

"Ok,"Abby said feeling so helpless. What could she do? "Nothing," She thought

"Can your friend come with us to the concert?" Haley asked

"I don't know yet."

"Oh. So why don't you tell me about her. Like what's her name? And what's she's like?" Haley asked interested in knowing about the girl.

"Well, her names Brianna Scott, she likes to play basketball and um…Mom are you Ok you have a weird look on your face," Carson asked, confused.

"Yea I'm fine just… Well why don't you start getting ready for bed now?" Haley said still staring at the same place.

"But it's only 8:oo," Carson whined.

"Well then go watch TV or something. Mommy needs to be alone."

Carson obeyed and left the room.

"Scott. Basketball. Nathan? No, Nathan's daughter?" Haley thought still staring at the same place she had been since she heard the word "Scott"

Ok peeps that was that chapter plez review I need tons of inspiration and the reason why Carson has Haley's last name will be b/c after her husband died she changed it to her "James" so she wouldn't have to think of Logan evrytime she heard Carson's name
