Chapter Four
I Write Sins Not Tragedies
Pictures of You
The night was going relatively well, except for the fact that all she could do was think about Nathan.
Jack took her to a movie and kept trying to make a move on her, by leading down to kiss her, putting his arm around her, lightly placing his hand on her thigh. But of course Haley would let none of this happen; and when he asked why, all she did was say 'I only met you yesterday'
To add to the fire Jack took Haley to the same restaurant than Nathan took her on their first date- or Brooke took them, it didn't matter it still made her think of Nathan. Just like last time she had Mac' and cheese. They talked and laughed for the rest of the night, but for Haley it was a forced laugh. Each time she did, a pain shot through her stomach, it was the pain of betrayal. She wasn't ready for this.
"Jack, thank you so much for tonight, really." She gave him a obligatory smile. He got into the driver's seat; Haley didn't want to say anything, but jack had, had quite a few glasses of wine. Which he got using his fake ID.
"Nah, don't it was nothing. Plus I really lie spending time with you."
A small 'yea' was all Haley could muster; mostly she was so ecstatic that Jack was finally taking her home. He started the car, but Haley quickly noticed that they were not going into the direction of her apartment.
"Um, Jack, where are we going?" Haley asked getting slightly nervous.
"It's a surprise. You'll see." Finally after the longest ten minutes of her life, they pulled up next to the docks. A place she and Nathan had visited numerous times. 'oh god' she thought. Jack walked slightly ahead of her and sat on the same table she and Nathan had their first tutoring session, where he had given Haley her cracker jack bracelet.
"The docks" she said as she laughed nervously. It was dark and the air was musty, not to mention there was no one around anywhere.
"What you don't like it here?" Jack asked seeming very hurt by the tone of her voice.
"No, its not that, it just, I just have a lot of memories here." She said as she willed herself to sit next to him. She had a really bad feeling about where this was going.
