The next morning Haley awoke with a tear streaked face, tired eyes, and a sense of helplessness! She couldn't stop picturing Nathan's face as he walked in on her and Jason! ERRR…Jason…just the thought of him infuriated her! But she was more worried about how Nathan was feeling! Ugh..she hated this! It was all just a HUGE misunderstanding that never even should have happened! After endlessly trying to call and get a hold of Nathan she decided to think of a new plan! As she sat there her phone began to vibrate in her hand, with GREAT enthusiasm she flipped open the phone to hear Nathan's voice. Well at least she was hopping to hear Nathan's voice, but instead it was the other Scott brother Lucas. "Oh, hey Lucas" Haley said in a less than eager voice. "What do you want?"
"Hey, hey no is that any way to talk to your BEST friend? Lucas teased! "What's up?"
"Well actually now that you mention it my sole state of misery right now all falls back on your ass!" Haley said starting to get a little more passionate about it.
"What? What did I do?" Lucas played innocent, as he grinned on the other line.
"Oh shut up like you don't know! And don't even pretend your not happy about this!" Haley said starting to get a little angry.
"Wow, wow…..easy now. I could never be happy to see you miserable. Never Hales, you know that! I did hear about what happened with you and Jason and the Nathan incident. And no I don't like the guy, ok I hate the guy, but come on its not like I planned this. I'm not at his level." Lucas lied!
"First of all I'm just going to forget about the whole 'his level' crap, but your right, I am sorry I know you would never try to hurt me. Although your annoying jerk of a friend Jason doesn't seem to mind it at all, in fact I think he takes pleasure it! I don't even know what you see in that creep Lucas, if you know what's good for you, you'll lose his pathetic ass!" Haley stated trying to figure out how he and Jason could of even became friends.
"My my, look who's telling me who's bad news. Jason really is a good guy, you'd know that if you actually gave him a chance, miss I believe in second chances and really getting to know a person before I judge them…ring any bells? And since when do you cuss so much? Huh? Lucas said smiling.
"Since my best friend, decided to give me a leach as a room mate. Well, he did his job sucked the life right out of me." Haley said the same depressed state. And if yours so into second chances with Jason, why not your Brother? Haley shot back.
"He doesn't deserve it. You know the things he did to me. I'm sorry that your so unhappy right now! I really am Hales and so is Jason! But I think I've got something to cheer you up! Lucas said, his smile outgrowing his face now. "I've got just the thing!"
Nathan awoke to his phone ringing, it was Haley! She wouldn't stop calling him. He was too angry to even think about answering, besides what's the point they were over. He might as well just face it now. It just didn't make since! I mean he was the one that was supposed to mess up, him! Not Haley, not perfect sweet, innocent Haley! But he couldn't shake it, he felt so sick, for the first time in his life he didn't see the grass on the other side, not even basketball could make him feel better. This was a whole new feeling, something he'd never experienced! The phone started to ring again, interrupting his replay of what happened the night before. He was about to just throw his phone against the wall and break it into a million pieces which is how he felt, because every ring just hurt him more. Haley had programmed it so that whenever she called him "I'm gonna love you more than anyone" by Gavin Degraw played. Luckily though, he happened to see the caller ID, it was Peyton.
"hey Peyton, its really not a good time….." Nathan stated in the saddest voice she'd ever heard.
"Yeah listen, I know I heard about Hal…I heard about what happened. I'm really sorry! I really am. I didn't believe it when I heard it, but I guess its true." Peyton said in a sympathetic voice.
"How did YOU find out!" Nathan said a little angry.
"Lucas told me about it" Peyton whispered.
"AND how the HELL did HE find out! Nathan yelled.
"I dunno, Peyton said. Haley maybe. Anyway that wasn't the only reason I called. I don't wanna see you like this. So just hear me out on this okay." Peyton said pleadingly.
"What?" Nathan was too afraid to ask.
"There's this party I think Tim and some of the guys are throwing! It's…
"No" Nathan said not giving her a chance to finish.
"Nathan come on it will be good for you! You might as well try, I mean what's the worst that could happen, you actually start to have FUN! Wouldn't that be the worst! Peyton said in her cute convincing voice.
"And what if Haley's there with well whoever the hell she's with these days?" Nathan asked pain his voice.
"Do you really think SHE would be there? Come on now. Besides in the off chance she did show up, it might be good for you." Peyton said.
"No, I don't think it's a good ide…" Nathan started.
"I'm not taking 'no' for an answer buddy! So be ready at 9 because…the party waits for no one!" Peyton said joking around!
"Yeah, yeah, but I'm bailin whenever I want… no questions asked." Nathan stated.
"GREAT! No, no questions, whenever you want! This is going to be fun, you're not going to regret this!" Peyton chimed!
"Whatever" Nathan said as he hung up the phone, no more enthused than a kid is about going to the dentist. What's wrong with him anyway. Him Nathan Scott, the Nathan Scott not wanting to go to a party, and getting so screwed up over some girl. That wasn't him, and right now he missed the old him, carefree, do what ever you want, no worries, no attachments Nathan! Yeah that was him. But is wasn't, not anymore, not with Haley!
"Yes Luke of course I'll go!" Haley said with all too much excitement hoping Nathan would be there. She might as well at least try! I mean what did she have to lose, nothing, she'd already lost everything important to her. And now was the perfect chance to get him back.
"Okay, okay. Wow, Haley James excited about a party, now there's a first!" Lucas teased.
"Yeah, yeah!" Haley said, starting to get ready. Tonight was going to be a very important night and she needed to look her best!
Just as Lucas was hanging up with Haley, his phone started beeping, he had an incoming call.
"Hey man, its me. No thanks for the excellent work last night, just show me your gratitude in with a bunch of those green Benjamin's!" Jason cockily said.
"Yeah, you got it man, once your done that is. Last night was only the framework, now we need to destroy the picture." He said as his conniving grin took over.
"No worries then man. Everything for tonight is set up. I got what you needed. And everything will go exactly as planned, or who knows maybe even better!" Jason said, a smirk on his face now too.
"That's what I like to hear. Tonight will be one hell of a night!" Lucas said, his grin only getting bigger!
Next- At the Party. What's the plan? Nothing will be the same. This mix up isn't the forgivable kind.
