Chapter 3

Never forget yesterday but always live for today because you never know what tomorrow will bring or what it might take away. Haley James knew that quite well. She missed her parents dearly and there is nothing that she nor anyone else can say or do that can bring them back. Since her parents death, she has changed. Now she knew that you have to take the good with the bad, smile with the sad, love what you've got and remember what you had. Always forgive but never forget, learn from your mistakes, but never regret. People change and things go wrong, but just remember, life goes on.

Haley couldn't help but wonder. Wouldn't it be a miracle if you could store all of your memories away and relive each moment, hour and day? Haley wished that she could. Lately she had been trying to think about all the memories that she had once shared with her parents that felt like so many years ago. If only, if only. Sometimes out of the blue, she would have a memory, or just a glimpse of one. It faded away just as quickly as it came. She wished that she didn't blow her parents off and remembered every conversation, every little thing about them but she didn't, she couldn't. Haley didn't expect that she would have to bury her parents at this young of an age but she did.

Haley just sat there, sitting with her friends. Completely lost into her world, her own thoughts. She was lost in a certain memory, about her parents.

"Haley honey, I know that you don't understand right now," Holly Sweeney said as she sat next to her husband, John Sweeney. "But someday, I hope that you will. This is how we pay our bills, support this family...It's our way of life, Haley. We know that you don't accept this-"

Haley couldn't believe what she was hearing as she stood in front of her parents. "Accept what mom?" Haley yelled, "For christ's sake, you two are drug dealers! The very people that you guys have warned me about and here is own my parents selling drugs." Haley looked down as her tears began to fall.

John cleared his throat, "Honey, please don't cry. We only sell the drugs, not use."

"Liar, you liars!" Haley scoffed, "How dare you lie to my face! I am not stupid dad! It all makes sense now...It all does." Haley shook her head, "I wasn't born yesterday ya know-Ugh, damn it! My own parents, druggies!" Haley threw her hands up in the air. "My parents are exactly the kind of people that they taught me to stay away from!"

Holly looked down before she spoke, "Haley, we never meant for you to see any of this."

Haley wiped her tears away as she spoke, "I feel so betrayed, so hurt...What you two are doing is illegal and most of all it's wrong! I don't see how you two would sit there and preach to me that drugs are bad and blah blah blah...But looky here, my own parents," she paused before she spoke again," I trusted you two. I never thought-I never imagined my own parents druggies...My whole life has been a lie."

"Haley baby, don't say that. We never meant to hurt you," John Sweeney said to his daughter.

"We're so sorry, so sorry Haley," her mother spoke as she tried not to let her tears fall.

Haley took a deep breath before she spoke. "I hate you..I hate the both of you!"

Haley said to her parents before she stormed out the door and letting it slam behind her.

Haley snapped back into reality after remembering what she had once said to her parents. She never meant it and she regretted it, she just hoped that her parents knew that. Isn't life so peachy...

"Haley, why are you not in class right now? Do you have a free period or something?" Bevin said as she looked over at Haley.

Haley snapped her head up and looked over at Bevin, "Huh, what?"

"Class," Harley started to answer for her, "Are you suppose to be in class right now -"

"Shit! I totally spaced out," Haley looked down at her cell phone. "Mrs. Roe won't let me into class now! Ugh, damn it," Haley said as she began to mumble profanity under her breath.

Brooke rolled her eyes, "Just tell her that you wasn't feeling good or something. Just make something up and I betcha she'll understand." Harley, and Bevin nodded. "Mrs. Roe is da shit. Der!"

Haley nodded and looked over at her cousin, "Hey Lucas," Lucas jerked his head up at the call of his name, "Isn't your parents going to be out of town this weekend?" Lucas nodded. "Okay, then let's have movie night at the house then."

Everyone gave her a confused look. Everyone but Jake remained quiet, "Yeah, not such a good idea, considering the fact that we can't leave campus unless we have permission and I don't think they will let us leave for movie night."

"Der! I am aware of that ya know...I was thinking that we can have someone call us in and tell them that we need to leave for the weekend. Just have your parents or whatever, make up an excuse. Not that hard..." Haley said if it wasn't that hard to think of.

Everyone shrugged, it could work...Maybe.

Just then, Nathan Scott and Tim Smith walked up to the group and took a seat near Lucas and Jake as Haley started to fake a puking noise when she caught site of them.

"Are you okay?" Lucas asked in concern as Haley looked like she was choking.

Haley gaged again, "It's the site of Mr. I'm so hot," Haley said as she mocked Nathan, "that made me literally puke in my mouth, swallow it and then choke on it." Haley looked over at her friends that were laughing.

Nathan smirked, "Hales, listen. I know that you want me, so just drop the whole act and let's go make out in the corner over there."

Haley smiled sweetly. "Aw Nathan you caught me. I am so madly in love with you that everytime I see you, I just want to puke...Wait, that's not love. That's disgust."

"If that helps you sleep at night, then that's fine with me, babe." He licked his lips at Haley, "Just remember-"

Haley interrupted him, "Remember what? To stay away from you?" Haley nodded, "Gotcha."

Lucas looked over at Nathan and could tell that he was about to say something, "Nate, just stop man. Just leave my cousin alone. Kay?"

Before Nathan looked the other way, he mumbled, "Whatever."

Tim looked over at Brooke, "Hey Brooke," he said smiling.

Brooke rolled her eyes, "Tim, don't even say anything, at all."

"Girl you are so fine, that I could suck a fart out of your butt-hole, like a bong," Tim said as he looked her up and down.
