Chapter 5 – Are You True?

Thanks for reviews! As always let me know what you think!

Lucas walks into the café and looks at Haley. He can tell she has been crying again.

"Hey Hales, what's goin on?"

"Same old same old." Haley says looking up and faking a smile.

"What did he do this time?"

"I really don't want to get into it. He is playing games with me to see how far I will go I guess, and today I reached my limit. I love him and he either accepts that fact or not."

"Hales, I'm sorry! I wish I could help. There are just sometimes I can't understand that guy."

"Tell me about it."

Flashback

Haley looks up at Nathan when it finally sinks in what he has just said to her.

"You love me? When did this happen?"

"Look Haley, I have always loved you. I was just always so scared of it. Believe it or not I do love Peyton and I don't want to hurt her."

"I know that Nathan and what sucks is I love you too. So what do we do?"

"We have to tell Peyton. I can't keep doing this to any of us."

"Nathan it will kill her. She loves you."

"I know." He said looking down towards the floor. "I would do anything not to hurt her, but what can I do?"

About that time Nate's cell rang. He looked down at the caller id and saw that is was Peyton.

"I have to answer Haley, its Peyton."

"Hello."

Haley looked at the window. How did they get their selves into this mess?

"Haley, Peyton wants me to come over to talk. I am going to tell her. Hales she knows me. She all ready knows something is going on with me. The longer I let this go on the more she will be hurt in the long run. I will call you after it is done."

"Nathan, stop. Do you think that I should be with you? She is my best friend."

"No, I think I need to do this alone. Haley you have done nothing wrong. This isn't your fault."

"Well who's fault is it then?"

"I don't know. I guess whoever makes you fall in love….I will call you later."

End of Flashback

"You know Luke; I look back at where Nathan and I used to be and to where we are now. How did we get so far apart? I know that I screwed up. But when I walked out that door to go on tour I thought our love would honestly get us through anything. I guess I was wrong."

"Ok Hales, enough of your gloom and doom. How about some of mine."

"Sounds great, what terrible thing has happened to you today?"

"Nothing new really. Still no girlfriend. You know what I think I agree with you. It is time for the games to end. If we love these people and they love us then we have our answer. So I guess that what we have to do."

"Huh – What's that?"

"Find out if they love us Hales! I am going right now and you are going right after your shift."

"I don't think so. I am so mad at Nathan. I just don't get him and he knows that I love him."

"Yes we all realized that you still love him, but does he still love you?"

Haley looks at Lucas like he is crazy then realizes he was right. Does he still love me? Do I really want to know? Is he still just trying to get back at me? I've gotta know. Luke is right.

"Ok"

"Ok what Hales?"

"After my shift I'm there. Oh yeah, whats going on in the world of Peyton lately? Still trying to steal my husband?"

"Haley, I really wish you two would just get over it all ready."

"What, Luke she is going after Nathan. How could she try to steal him from me?"
