Chapter 12- All I Want Is To Talk

It had been 3 days since the big game. The principal had allowed Haley to transfer to Tree Hill High because he had said they needed her to be the captain of the girl's basketball team. She immediately moved her stuff into her new room with the help of her new roomie Brooke.

Haley put the last shirt into her drawer and slumped back on her bed. Brooke saw that Haley was looking a little down so she jumped on her.

"What the hell, Brooke?" she screamed as she pulled both of them up and sat on the edge of the bed.

Brooke followed her lead and did the same. She looked over to Haley sympathetically. "You still haven't gotten through to Nate yet have you?"

"You think." Haley snorted.

"Hales, you just got to talk to him?"

"But that's the thing Brooke. I tried to. But he won't even acknowledge me." Haley put her head down and let a tear slip from her eye. She looked back up at Brooke. "Peyton said, since Jake and her are now joined at the hip, that Nathan just lays on his bed and broods unless he has class." She stops and looks over to Brooke sadly and whines, "I mean if he still loves me then why won't he forgive me, Brookie?"

"Aww!" Brooke puts her arm around Haley and pulls her in for a side hug. "I'm sorry, hun!" She pulls away so she can see Haley's face. "Maybe it's just hard for him, you know? He needs some time and all you really can do is give it to him."

Haley nods and wipes away the few stray tears from her face. She smiles at Brooke and says, "It's just so hard to loose the one thing that is most important. I mean I know that we only knew each other for a little while. But I fell in love, Tigger. And I don't want to loose him."

"I know, Tutorgirl. But do you know what else I know?" Haley shakes her head no. Brooke smiles. "That he fell in love with you too. I mean who couldn't. Look at you." They both laugh.

"Thanks, Brookie. I think we're going to have fun being roommates."

"Well! Duh!"

"Okay!" Haley started as she got up off the bed. "I'm headed for Lucas'. I promised I would tutor him in math." She got to the door and picked up her book bag. "I shall see you later, darling." Haley turned the knob and walked out the door.

Brooke breathed out and said, "I really need some help with this."


Nathan was right now sulking because he didn't have Science till 4. 'Which is the class I have with Haley. Great.' He thought as he smashed his face even farther into his pillow. He heard the door slam so he looked up for a brief second to see Jake come into their room. After seeing who it was he returned his face into the pillow and mumbled. "No Peyton? Big surprise there."

"Ha Ha Ha! Very funny." Jake sat down on his bed and faced Nathan's. "Come on, Nate. Talk to me."

Nathan brought his face up and lay on his side facing Jake. "I still can't believe what your sister did."

"She didn't want to hurt you, man! She was just going after her dreams. You can understand that, can't you?"

"Well," Nathan started as he put his hands u to his face. "Yeah, I guess I can understand why she did it, but she used me. Okay? I fell so hard for her and she never told me her plan."

"But if she told you sooner, would you have been okay with it?"

Nathan paused for a second to think. Truthfully, he didn't know if he would have been okay with it at all. "I love her, Jake. There is no denying that. But all of you guys pressuring me to talk or to forgive her isn't helping okay?"

"Okay, Nate. But you have to understand that she loves you too. There is no denying that." He gets up and walks to the door. He was about to turn the knob and walk out when he turned around and said. "Just talk to her, that's all. What she really wants right now is to hear your voice." With that he turned around and walked away. He needed to talk to someone. Urgently.


Jake was about to knock on the door in front of him when it all of a sudden opened. He was almost knocked over.

"Wow! What the hell?" He said as he fell back a little.

"Oh! Yeah, Triple J. Just that person I was looking for." Brooke said as she saw who she almost knocked over.

"Ugh!" Jake groaned. "Brooke I should have never told you my full name."

"Hey!" She defended as they both made it into her room. "It's not my fault your name is Jacob John James which gives me the perfect nickname for you!"

They both laughed. Jake sat down on the computer chair and started. "Listen Davis. We need a plan."

"That's exactly why I needed to talk to you. I have no idea how to handle Haley and all her broodiness."

"Same for me with Nathan. He just lays there with his face in his pillow, occasionally looking up at a picture of Haley on his table or if the door is slammed closed."

Brooke sighs. "They are so in love it's unbelievable."

"I know. That's why I was thinking they both have Science in half hour. So, maybe we can trick them."

"Go on." Brooke says getting interested.

"Well maybe we can tell them that their class was moved to the gym because I know the gym isn't needed at 4 so that they will both go there and will be alone." He looks over at Brooke and immediately regrets his idea. "Okay! I guess that was a stupid idea…."

"No! No! No! That's brilliant, Triple J."

"Oh! Thanks." They talk about the plan a little more till Jake decides that he's going to go tell Nathan about the "change in his schedule." He walks to the door and is about to reach for the knob when the door flings open from the other side.

Haley walks in fast and knocks over Jake.

"Why is this happening to me today?" Jake says as he gets up from the floor. He looks at the girl and jokes, "maybe I should just stay away from doors for today."

They all laugh and Haley says, "Sorry, Jakey. I just need to get my other books fast or else I am gonna be late for my class."

"Hales," Brooke starts, "You still have 10 minutes."

"Damn it! Are you serious?" They nod. "Man, stupid Lucas' clock. Set at the wrong time."

"Well, I'm going to go." He began to walk to the door, showing the girls how cautious he was about going to the door which got them laughing. "Oh and Hales! Your class is in the gym today!" He called back as he walked out the door.


Jake walked into his room and saw Nathan getting ready for his class. He sat down on his bed and looked over at Nathan.

"So……" Jake said.

"So………… what?" Nathan said looking up from his desk where he was doing his last minute homework.

"So….. Did you figure out if you're going to talk to Haley?"

"Um yeah, I did."

"And?"

"And I'm not going to tell you." Nathan said lamely.

"You didn't figure out anything did you?"

"What?" Nathan said getting up and putting his books back into his book bag. "Yeah, I did." He looked over at Jake. "Okay, so I didn't. I promise I will figure it out though, but not now. I have to get to class."

Nathan picked up his book bag and went to the door.

Jake all of a sudden remembered. "Oh yeah! Nathan!" He called out after him. "Your class was moved to the gym."

"Oh okay! Thanks man!" And with that he was gone.


Will Haley and Nathan finally talk?

If so will it be good or bad for their relationship?
