Author's Note: How you all doing? I hope you liked the last chapter. I know
that so many people are Naley fans, but I can't stand them together and I
know a lot of people are Jeyton fans, so I put a little bit in there since
I think they're cute together. Let me know if you want some more or not.
Just for the record, there is a line in here that I borrowed from the Buffy
episode entitled "The Prom", so if you recognize it, that's where it's
from. I'm using it because I've always thought it was really sad and it
just fit perfectly. That's all there is to say right now, so here we go....
OTH
The rest of the day went by in a boring blur for the girls. After they had decided they where heading north to New York, they picked out a route and Haley made a schedule for when they should get there. When they put their money together, plus Brooke's three different credit cards, they decided that they would have enough money to stay at cheap motels every night if Brooke used her charms to get them a room for free every other time. After an hour of whining, Haley let Brooke stop at Taco Bell for lunch, but only if she got to drive for the rest of the day.
"No way," Brooke had protested. "Nobody drives my car but me. I don't think so, Tutor Girl."
"But you let Peyton drive it."
"When I was drugged out," Brooke responded. "Believe me, if I was sober she wouldn't have even dared to ask."
"Fine, then you can't stop at Taco Bell," Haley told her. Brooke was about to ask her how she planned on stopping her, but she saw the look on Haley's face and knew she had her ways.
"Fine," she finally agreed. "You can drive after lunch."
After getting lost a couple times and a hundred 'I told you so's from Brooke, they found a cheap motel to stay at. Since they had paid for their room last night, Haley let Brooke flirt with the guy to get them a free room. Brooke blew the young boy a kiss before sauntering over to her friend, a proud smile on her face. Haley shook her head, but couldn't help but laugh when she saw the love struck look on the boy's face.
"What are you gonna do when it's a girl at the front desk?" she teased as they walked out the door and went in search of their room. Brooke put the key ring on her index finger and flung it around.
"Are you kidding?" she asked rhetorically. "Girls, guys, it doesn't matter. I could get us a new car for free. Nobody can resist my charms." Haley rolled her eyes at her cockiness.
"You've haven't won me over with them." Brooke smiled.
"Just give it time, my dear," Brooke promised. "Pretty soon, you'll be worshipping the ground I walk on. Trust me." Brooke spotted their room two doors up from where hey were. "Oh, found the room." She quickened her pace so she could have the door unlocked by the time Haley got there.
"There's only one bed," Haley pointed out when she made it to the door to find Brooke lying on the solitary bed. Brooke pushed herself up onto her elbow.
"Hey, it's Mrs. States the Obvious," Brooke teased her. "Sorry, I had to use a little lesbian innuendoes to get him worked up. Guess he assumed we only needed one bed."
"What?" Haley asked in fake shock. "Your Brooke Davis charm wasn't enough to woo him? You had to throw a little Haley James in there too?"
"Hey, whatever it takes. That's my motto." Brooke dug in her pocket and found her keys to the car. She tossed them to Haley. "Wanna go pull the car around? That way we can just grab a pair of clean clothes instead of bringing a whole suitcase in.
"Yeah, sure," Haley answered. "Let's just hope we don't have a repeat of this morning." Before Brooke had a chance to comment, Haley shut the door and was on her way to the car. Three minutes later Brooke heard honking coming from right outside the door. Assuming Haley was calling her, she reluctantly got off her ass and walked outside. Haley had the car backed up in the spot right in front of the door. Haley turned the car off and got out, pulling the front seat forward so she could grab some clothes. Brooke waited until she was done before she got her own. When they both had a change of clothes, Haley locked the doors and tossed the keys back to Brooke. They went back into their room.
"You tired yet?" Brooke asked, not feeling sleepy just yet. She knew she wouldn't be able to sleep if she went to bed now, but also knew that since they were sharing a bed, if Haley was tired, there wasn't much she could do about it.
"Not really," Haley answered back. She looked at the clock sitting on the nightstand beside the bed. "It's only midnight. What do you wanna do?"
"We could watch TV?"
"I doubt they have cable here," Haley pointed out. Brooke sighed, knowing they probably didn't. "What about ordering a movie." Brooke grabbed the booklet off the television set to see what they could get. She shook her head.
"Not unless you wanna watch 'Inspect Her Gadget' or 'Sex Toy Story 2'." Brooke laughed at the disgusted look on Haley's face.
"Now those are two great movies that I'll never be able to watch again," Haley commented. Brooke giggled. "So, that's a big no for movies. What else is there to do?"
"Normally I would say Truth or Dare, but it's no fun when there's only two people, especially if they're no boys to be involved in the dares."
"We could just play truth," Haley suggested, not having anything to hide.
"Where's the fun in that?"
"It could help us get to know each other better," Haley explained. "The way I figure it, we have at least a year ahead together, might as well get acquainted now."
"Alright," Brooke agreed. "Let's get into our pajamas then we'll play." After they both were changed and both went pee, they sat down on the bed, Haley and the end and Brooke at the foot.
"Okay, so who goes first?"
"I'll go," Brooke volunteered. "What's one thing that even your best friend doesn't know about you?" Haley thought about it. Luke knew almost everything about her. The only things he didn't know where stuff that happened before they meet, which was only really one important thing.
"That my oldest brother died," Haley answered. Brooke's features softened.
"Oh God, I'm so sorry." Haley shook her head and motioned for her to stop.
"Don't worry about it," she urged her. "I wasn't even two at the time. I hardly remember him at all. I just remember the night it happened. Me and my sister had to stay at my grandparent's house."
"How'd it happen?" Brooke asked. "If you don't mind me asking?"
"He drowned," Haley explained. "He and a friend of his were at a party, they had to much to drink and decided it would be funny to go canoeing. His friend died too."
"Aw, that totally sucks." Haley nodded. Brooke thought Haley would like a change in subject. "Okay, your turn."
"Okay, um...." Haley thought of something that she had always wanted to ask Brooke. "Okay, I got it and you don't have to answer if you don't want to..."
"Yes I do," Brooke interrupted. "Those are kinda the rules of the game."
"Well, you still don't have to," Haley told her. "Back when you were with Luke, before all the drama with Peyton, were you in love with him?" Brooke's face fell at the question. She thought about it carefully.
"I was getting there," she finally decided. "I wasn't there yet, thank God. I don't know what I would have done if the guy I loved cheated on me." Brooke immediately realized what she had said when she saw the look on Haley's face. "Oh, man. I can't believe I just said that. I'm really sorry, Hales."
"It's okay," Haley told her, even though she wasn't okay. She knew Brooke didn't mean to say it, but that didn't make it hurt any less. "I'm gonna have to deal with what happened sooner or later, right?"
"If you want my advice, which I don't recommend by the way," Brooke offered. "Go to a bar and get really drunk." Haley smiled at her friend's attempt to lighten the mood.
"I can't even do that," Haley pointed out, rubbing a hand over her stomach.
"Oh yeah, I forgot." Brooke lowered her head, trying to decide if she should ask the next question or not. "I know this is a really stupid question and maybe a little offending, but are you gonna keep the baby?"
"It's not a stupid question, Tigger," Haley assured her. "I've thought about it a lot. I'm gonna have it, but I haven't decided if I'm keeping it or if I'm gonna put it up for adoption."
"I think that's the right thing to do."
"When I first found out there was no doubt in my mind," Haley explained. "I was gonna have the baby and me and Nathan would raise it together. Of course that's not gonna happen now..." She tried to fight back the tears.
"I'm so sorry," Brooke said, watching Haley try to keep her emotions in check. "It must be horrible." Haley shook her head as the tears finally began to fall.
"I think horrible is still coming," she choked out. "Right now it's worse. Right now I'm just trying to keep from dying."
"Oh, Hales..." Haley slowly leaned forward and put her head in Brooke's lap.
"I can't breathe, Brooke," Haley sobbed. "I feel like I can't breathe." Brooke ran her fingers through Haley's hair. Brook looked down at her crying friend, not knowing what she could do to help her. She finally decided the only thing she could do was let her cry.
