Chapter 8: I Never Understood Before
"So am I ever going to meet your mystery girlfriend?" Haley asked Nathan as they sat in her apartment.
"Haley, you scare my girlfriends," Nathan said.
"Nate, it's been 2 weeks since you admitted that you went on a date with her, come on…I want to meet her," Haley whined.
"Fine," Nathan said.
"After the wedding," Nathan promised.
"The wedding is tomorrow," Haley smirked.
"I know that Haley," Nathan smirked back.
"Hey, that's my smirk!" Haley said.
"Um, actually it was mine first, you just stole it," Nathan said.
Jake and Peyton walked into Haley and Brooke's apartment.
"I'm going to miss you so much," Peyton said to Jake.
"I'm going to miss you more," Jake said back to Peyton.
"Okay!" Brooke exclaimed coming out of her room. "P. Sawyer, soon-to-be Jagielski, you must say farewell to your boytoy, it's only for one night, and tomorrow night you can do whatever you want to each other as long as you're here now!"
"Brooke, I'm here, calm down," Peyton said to her best friend.
"Where's Lucas?" Brooke said referring to the best man.
"Right here," Lucas said walking into Haley and Brooke's apartment.
"I am so happy Nathan's my best friend," Haley mumbled.
"Why is that?" Peyton asked.
"He won't turn into that," she said pointing to Brooke, "When he's my maid of honor."
Everyone laughed and Nathan gave Haley a "In your Dreams" look.
"Enough laughing," Brooke said.
"You three go to the Jagielski residence and don't let Jake leave the apartment until tomorrow when you WILL leave your apartment at exactly 1:30 to be at the Church by 2, and wait for us girls to get there. Haley will go in and tell you three that we are here and that Peyton didn't stand you up," Brooke said.
Haley stared at Brooke, "Can I go with them?"
"Dude, your sister is crazy," Jake told Nathan as they walked into Jake's apartment.
"Yeah, and I lived with her," Nathan said shaking his head.
"I don't understand how you deal with her and Haley," Jake said laughing.
"Lucas deals with Brooke a hell of a lot better than I do," Nathan laughed, not seeing Lucas' smirk grow.
"So, Haley…how is your love fest over my brother going," Brooke said.
"It's not," Haley said.
"I knew you had a thing for him!" Peyton exclaimed.
"Errr!" Haley said into a pillow.
Nathan, Jake, and Lucas were sitting in Jake's apartment.
"Hello?" Nathan said into his phone.
"Your sister is crazy!" Haley whispered on the other line.
"We've known that for the longest time, darling," Nathan replied.
"She tried to get me to….I can't even say it," Haley said.
"What did you tell her?" Nathan said.
"That she was crazy!" Haley answered.
Nathan laughed.
"What are you doing?" Haley asked.
"Playing video games," Nathan replied.
"That's all you guys do!" Haley giggled.
"Hey, you play with me all the time, so don't play yourself," Nathan said to his best friend.
"Don't play yourself," Haley mocked, "Hold on."
"Okay," Nathan replied.
"Brooke! You are crazy. I am NOT going to help you, okay?"
"Save me from this misery," Haley begged.
"Sorry, I'm not up for the wrath of Brooke," Nathan said.
"Dude, you are a sucky best friend," Haley whined then laughed, "I'll see you tomorrow."
"Yeah, I love you too," Nathan replied.
"How do you do it?" Lucas asked Nathan.
"Do what?" Nathan replied looking up from the game he was playing.
"Have a totally hot best friend, and not once try anything with her," Lucas said.
Nathan looked at Lucas like he was crazy, "I don't know?"
Jake laughed, "Nate, tell me…you don't think Haley's hot?"
"No! She's beautiful…and maybe a little…Okay, Haley's really hot," Nathan gave in.
"Why didn't you two ever start anything?" Jake asked.
"Cause we're best friends, and I have a girlfriend," Nathan replied.
"Which you aren't taking to the wedding," Lucas added.
"Hey-both of you know…I can't leave Haley alone with alcohol," Nathan pointed at them.
"He always thinks about Haley first," Jake said to Lucas.
"He punches every one of her boyfriends, at least once," Lucas said back.
"And he realizes what the two of you are getting at…Me and Hales are just friends, believe me," Nathan said.
"Haley!" Brooke screamed.
"Brooke, I am sitting right next to you. Please stop screaming," Haley replied from her place in the limo.
"As soon as we get there, please go to the guys," Brooke demanded.
"Without you?" Haley asked.
"Yes, Haley." Brooke replied.
"My pleasure," Haley told Brooke.
As soon as the girls got to the Church, Haley started banging on the guys dressing room, "Please tell me you are dressed in there!"
Lucas came to the door to let Haley in, "Woah, Hales, you look hot," he said when he saw her.
"Please let me in," Haley begged whispering.
"But I know that you girls are here, so you can get back to Brooke and Peyt," Lucas said smiling.
"Listen, Roe," Haley said grabbing Lucas' ear, "Either let me in or I will hurt you so you will see stars, and not in a good way."
"I'd listen to her, Luke," Nathan said getting to the door, "She's crazy."
Haley looked at Nathan and had to stop her mouth from dropping. In his black suit, and piercing blue eyes, he'd never looked so…hot.
Nathan's breath caught in his throat when he saw his best friend. With her silky, yellow tube dress, with her wavy hair half up half down, he'd never see her look so beautiful.
"You look great Hales," Nathan whispered.
"Thanks, you too," Haley smiled back at Nathan, "Please let me in."
"Come on," Nathan pulled Haley into the room.
As the music started, some of Peyton and Jake's college friends and cousins walked down the aisle.
"The two of you better not do your scary laughing thing when you guys are walking down," Brooke warned.
Nathan and Haley looked towards each other, and immediately started laughing.
"Let it out, now," Brooke growled.
"Shall we?" Nathan said sticking his arm out for Haley to take.
"We shall," Haley said taking his arm.
Nathan and Haley walked down the aisle, and Nathan whispered in Haley's ear.
"Hales, you look great," Nathan said.
"Thanks," Haley whispered back.
"I might just kill half of these guys…they look like their undressing you with their eyes," Nathan said glaring at the groomsmen.
"Aw man, Nate…wait until the reception?" Haley asked.
Nathan winked at her as they separated and watched Brooke and Lucas awkwardly walk down the aisle.
"You look beautiful, Brooke," Lucas said to Brooke.
"Shut up," Brooke whispered back, "Smile, and if you say one more thing I will kill you. I'm the maid of honor, and I'm allowed to," Brooke said.
As they separated, Lucas looked towards Nathan and said, "I looked in the dictionary…I had to look up crazy," Lucas said and Nathan motioned for him to continue, "It said Brooke."
Nathan laughed and winked at his sister and best friend as he turned to watch Peyton start down.
Larry Sawyer and Peyton walked down the aisle, and everybody stared at Peyton and was amazed at how beautiful she looked.
"If anybody protests this marriage, speak now, or forever hold their peace. I now pronounce you, husband and wife. Jake, kiss her," the priest spoke.
Everybody cheered as Jake and Peyton shared their first kiss as husband and wife.
Haley plopped down next to Nathan as she watched all the happy couples dancing.
"I'm not drunk," Haley said to Nathan.
Nathan laughed, "Good. I was getting worried that I'd have to annul my second marriage."
"How did that happen?" Haley asked.
Flashback
"Nathan, I love you," Haley said dramatically to her drunk best friend.
"I love you, too," Nathan said sweeping Haley off her feet, causing them both to fall.
"Well…if we love each other…we should get married!" Haley said getting off the bar's floor and starting to walk out.
"You're a generous!" Nathan screamed.
"It's genius, dumass," Haley giggled.
End Flashback
Nathan's cell phone interrupted their laughter.
"Hello?" Nathan asked, "Oh, hey….Nothing really, you?...Yeah, it's great….Okay…Okay….I'll talk to you tomorrow…..Night,"
"Your girlfriend?" Haley said.
"Yeah," Nathan replied, "Monica."
"Monica?" Haley questioned.
"Yep," Nathan replied.
Haley looked down at her dress and got up.
"Where are you going?" Nathan asked.
"I changed my mind…I need a drink," Haley told him.
Nathan just looked after Haley, shaking his head, wondering how he was going to help her.
"Hales, what's wrong?" Brooke said.
"I don't know, Brooke," Haley said looking around.
"Nate's girlfriend called and I freaked."
"Haley," Brooke said sympathetically.
"And I'm meeting her tomorrow," Haley said, "What am I going to do?"
"Get drunk," Brooke said, "The reception's over in about a half hour, don't worry."
Haley looked at Brooke and took a big gulp of her drink.
"Okay everyone!" Brooke screamed in the microphone, "Peyton and Jake are about to leave, therefore…I am going to give my speech for them, and then Lucas will…and then we will see them off!"
"Peyton and Jake were the 'least likely to hook up' in our little group, and the funny thing is they were the ones who did. Peyton and Jake share something special, that I can only hope that one day I will find. Peyton is a tough cookie, believe me, as her best friend, I know," Brooke paused as everyone laughed. "But Jake broke her in half, and got her to open up. Out of the guys, Peyton was the closest to Jake, always. And I always used to wonder why…I always thought Lucas and her would be the closest. I recently discovered that Jake is a sweetie, who was always there for Peyton since…well…ever. And for that, I thank him. Well, and say, "Bless you, Jake." Anyways, Peyton and Jake, a lifetime of happiness for you two to have, and the rest of us to enjoy,"
"One once said: "Love isn't finding the perfect person, it's finding an imperfect person, perfectly." Now, we all know Jake and Peyton are the last two people that are "perfect." Jake and Peyton have issues that the two of them dealt with, together. Without each other, I don't think Peyton and Jake would be the people. They've helped each other throughout every aspect of their life. When the six of us were younger, we were all considered, best friends, but Jake and I were best friends, Brooke and Peyton, and Haley and Nathan were," he paused to look over to his friends. Jake and Peyton listening, together. Brooke on the side watching him intently, Haley drinking and glaring at Nathan, and Nathan shaking his head at Haley. "We'd all sit in a circle, every year, and make a time capsule. On the last one of our 18th birthdays, we dug up the time capsules. Haley, being the baby in August, on her birthday, we dug up these time capsules. Brooke and I found a picture of Jake and Peyton with Peyton's confession of her crush on the back of the picture. Who knew almost 5 years later, the two of them would end up getting married. Peyton and Jake, you two have something special, and I only hope to…," Lucas paused, "Succeed in having what the two of you have someday," Lucas finished.
Brooke got up on the stage, "And now, let's see them off! Congratulations Mr. And Mrs. P-Sawyer Jagielski!"
And with that, Peyton and Jake waved, and got in their limo to leave to go on their honeymoon.
Lucas was moving to get off the stage, but Brooke grabbed him and pulled him behind the stage, made sure no one was looking, and kissed him.
Nathan walked over to his drunk best friend, and grabbed the newly refilled drink out of her hand.
"What the hell is your problem, Haley?" Nathan whispered.
Haley stared at Nathan and grabbed the drink back, "Nothing, until you came over here."
"Haley, you need to stop drinking, it isn't good," Nathan told Haley looking into her eyes and seeing the alcohol affecting her.
"Haley," Nathan repeated after he saw she was ignoring him, "I'm sick of having to watch out for you making sure you aren't drunk!"
Haley looked at Nathan, and at first, shock filled her face, and then she laughed spitefully, "I never asked you to look after me, Nathan," Haley said, "For all I care go home and screw your perfect little, Monica," Haley spat out.
"You don't want me to look after you, Haley. Fine," Nathan said and with that walked away.
Haley stared after Nathan and walked the opposite direction, towards backstage.
Haley walked in backstage, and caught two familiar faces making out.
"Brooke and Lucas!" Haley screamed.
"Oh, My, God…." Haley giggled.
"I am so sorry, guys. It's just I came towards back here. I swear I didn't know the two of you were making out," Haley said.
All of a sudden Haley grabbed onto a chair, and her face became very pale.
Brooke looked to Lucas, confused, and walked over to Haley, "Hales, are you okay?"
"I'm not feeling very good," Haley admitted.
"What do you feel?" Lucas asked.
"Like," Haley said.
Haley's face all of a sudden got extremely pale, and her eyes started closing. Then Haley fell to the floor, unconscious.
