Haley couldn't fall asleep that night, not with all the thoughts she was having racing through her head. She thought she had it figured out, she was going to be with Brooke. It felt too right not to pursue. But with the cold shoulder she was given from Brooke when she returned, she couldn't help but wonder if Brooke was having second thoughts.

The alarm clock when off, but Haley didn't move, she just watched her roommate stand up, grab her clothes and walk into the bathroom without a word, or even a glance. I guess I was just a mistake to her…why would you ever think anything different James….Haley couldn't help but drag her feet getting ready, about an hour later they were on there way to school, and not a single word had been spoken between the two and Haley couldn't take it.

"Brooke…" she began, only to be cut off.

"Haley don't. Not now." Was all she said before pulling into the parking lot, switching off the ignition and walking out of the car, leaving a stunned and hurt Haley in the car.

Haley sat there for quite awhile until she heard a soft knock on the window, looking up to see the smiling face of one Peyton Sawyer. She did what she could to return a weak smile before exhaling and exiting the car, closing the door behind her and turning to face the blonde.

"What were you doing just sitting there?" Peyton asked with an amused smile on her face.

"Just thinking I guess" Haley responded as the pair walked towards the school.

"Wanna talk about it?" Peyton offered, shooting a concern look to her good friend. "I mean, I know I haven't exactly been the model of a friend lately…" she trailed off.

"I know Pey, you've made it clear that if I ever needed someone, you'd be there" Haley said, offering Peyton a soft smile. "Just some stuff I have to work out on my own."

"Alright, but if you change your mind…I'm always here" she said as she pealed away from Haley and walked into her first class.

Haley couldn't help but smile to herself, shaking her head at her own misfortune, she got her husband back and her best friend but all she could think about was Brooke. Why is she giving me the cold shoulder? Unless she thinks I'm back with Nathan? OH! Maybe that's it! Yeah Haley, and maybe pigs fly…she regrets it. Get over it. You knew it was too good to be true. As soon as that thought left Haley's mind she knew she couldn't deal with school today and she headed out, sneaking by the security booth and walking away from Tree Hill High.

Meanwhile, back at school, no matter how hard she tried, Brooke couldn't stop looking for Haley. For one reason or another though, she never found her, she did however find Nathan, who seemed to be making a beeline to her.

"Hey Brooke," he began "have you seen Haley today?" he asked. Of course it was about her.

"No, I haven't actually Nathan." Brooke said, trying fruitlessly to keep the spite out of her voice. "You're her husband, shouldn't you know?"

At this Nathan let out a short laugh. "Didn't she tell you?" he asked the brunette, "she didn't take me back…said she had some stuff to think about."

"What? Did she tell you what stuff?" Brooke asked hurriedly, hope suddenly swelling up inside her.

"No, she sort of stormed off before I could ask" He replied as Brooke turned and jogged down the hall and out the double doors, pulling out her cell phone and dialing Haley's number. "Much like that…" Nathan said as he watched her exit the building.

"Come'n Haley, Pick up" Brooke pleaded with her phone as she ducked under the awning of the school to avoid getting soaked by the rain that had just recently started to fall.

But Haley was too busy trying to find a place to escape the rain to feel her cell phone vibrate and after deciding that sitting under a tree wasn't the best idea during a thunder storm, she surrendered herself to the rain and continued on her walk to no where.

"And honey I just cant get around it anymore, you make me feel like, home is where you are" Haley began, softly singing to herself as the rain pelted the street she was walking in and her in the process, "And baby I just cant, run around it ever more, its time that I believe it, home is where you are." Haley closed her eyes for a moment, letting her own voice sooth her slightly when the sound of tires approaching pulled her out of her own mind. She turned towards them slightly, walking more towards the side of the road to avoid being hit when she realized that it was slowing down.

"Hey tutor girl…" Brooke greeted her as she rolled down her window. Damn, she looks good wet "Want a ride?" she offered, pulling the car to a stop. All Haley replied with was a small sigh but she did open the car door and slide in, literally dripping wet.

"You know." Haley began, "you don't have to pretend like you like me all of the sudden…I know you think it was a mistake." she finished, not exactly sure where this sudden audacity came from.

"Haley!" Brooke exclaimed, obviously hurt, "is that what you think! That I think it was a big mistake?" she asked, pulling the car over to look at the soaked girl.

"Yeah, I mean, its like when you finally got some time to think about what we were doing, you must have changed your mind, realized that a girl like you doesn't like a girl like me" she rationalized.

"That wasn't it at all Hales…" Brooke said, turning to face Haley, her voice cracking. "I-I thought that you'd gotten back together with Nathan…that I didn't matter to you now that he wanted you back" she paused for a moment, taking Haley's hands in her own, her emotion threatening to pour down her cheeks at any moment. "I meant it when I said I love you…I still mean it now, I don't know what it is about you Haley, but I don't want to let it go, you make me feel like I never have before. So the thought of you just getting back with Nathan like that, after, you know, us? It killed me, so I just shut down, and shut you out" she was staring deeply into those soft brown eyes she got so accustomed to getting lost in, "I'm sorry Haley, it was wrong of me to jump to conclusions and I sh-" but she was interrupted before she could finish her speech, silenced by Haley's lips capturing her own in a very deep, very intense kiss.

"Tigger, shut up." Haley said with a smile on her face, pulling Brooke in for another deep kiss, her tongue exploring Brookes mouth as her hand cupped Brookes cheek, running her thumb gently up and down. "I love you Brooke Davis. And me and you? We've got something, I know we do, and I want to see where that leads us." Haley said almost as a question to the other girl.

"So do I" Brooke replied, smirking at the other girl "Lets go home, get you out of those wet clothes."

"Good idea, I might need some help though…you know how hard wet clothes can be to take off" Haley shot back with an equally devilish grin.
