Chapter 4- loses, lies, and promises

After the incident in the back of school Nathan gave Haley a ride home so she could get ready for the game tonight.

Haley had gotten dressed and was waiting for Peyton to come and pick her up. She wore a blue shirt with a pair of jeans with white and blue tennis shoes school colors are best to wear at these functions.

While she was waiting she thought it would be a good idea to go on the computer and talk to Nathan.

When she first got on the computer he wasn't on so she started searching the internet for new books that were coming out that she was interested in.

She looked to the side of her screen and was happy to see a small box Nathan had instant messaged her.

iamballer07: hey wats up

iamballer07: bye

As if on cue Haley heard a honk out side she grabbed her bag and Peyton's black leather jacket she borrowed a couple of weeks before. She ran out of the door into Peyton's car.

"Hey" Haley said in an overly cheery voice

"Hey, isn't that my jacket that I never got back" Peyton asked

"Yeah sorry can I wear it"

"Yeah go ahead"

"So can I have a ride to this after party" Haley said with a grin

"Haley James is going to an after party" Peyton asked looking at Haley's face turn from happy to a down right glare. "Chill I was kidding besides I thought that an after party was just an excuse for horny teenagers to get drunk and have orgy's" Peyton mocked Haley's words, pulling out of Haley's drive way.

Haley just rolled her eyes and kept quiet.

"This wouldn't have anything to do with this 'mystery guy' does it" Haley's looked at Peyton so fast it surprised her that she didn't get whip lash.

"No I don't even know who it is" Haley lied "I gave up on that it would be a waist of time if I tried to get his attention"

"Good I'm glad so why do you want to go to this after party" Peyton asked with pure curiosity.

"I need to get out more" Haley simply said.

"Ok whatever"


When they arrived at school Peyton went straight to the cheerleaders when Haley went up on the bleachers she saw Keith and Karen and she snagged a seat next to the two of them.

"Hey honey we haven't seen you around lately" Karen said smiling at Haley

"Yeah I've been kind of busy"

"Not to busy I hope" Keith chimed in

"No, not to busy" she said giving them a reassuring smile.

"Good" Karen said returning the smile.

The game went by pretty fast once again the ravens won 74-71Nathan won the winning shot.


Haley just waited for Peyton outside of the gym in the hall when she saw Peyton came out Brooke was whispering something in Peyton's ear and Haley felt disappointed to see that Peyton didn't say anything to her she just walked to her car.

"Hey Peyton"

"Hey"

"Um great game huh"

"Yeah"

"Are you ok"

"Yeah I need to stop at home first so I can change"

"That's fine so where is this after party?"

"You don't know"

"No I don't go to these parties"

"It's at Nathan's"

"Oh" was all Haley could say.

She could tell Peyton was mad about something but she couldn't tell what it was so she just left it at that.

Haley decided to wait in the car while Peyton changed. When Peyton got back in the car she didn't have as much of a chip on her shoulder she had put a fake smile on her face Haley couldn't tell if it was for her or the party.


Peyton ended up parking about a block away from the actual house Haley could tell why when they got to the party and there was no room to park, go figure.

When they entered the house Haley looked around at the people she was sort of surprised to see all of those people it looked as if the whole town was at this party.

Haley saw Peyton leave her side so she followed her into the kitchen Haley was captivated by the size of the house.

When Haley entered the kitchen she saw the cheerleaders and half the basketball team where sitting around the island talking drinking something that Haley assumed to be alcohol

"Tutor girl nice of you to join us" Brooke said making the whole group stare at her

"Haley have a drink" Tim said giving her a glass filled with whatever everyone was drinking

"Thanks" Haley said grabbing the cup out of his hands

"Have a seat" Theresa said

"Umm thanks" Haley said growing wary

Haley took a the only empty seat that was next to Nathan 'coincidentally' Haley checked the seat to make sure there was nothing on it but stopped when Nathan chuckled at her actions.

"Play with us" Brooke said with a mischievous look on her face

"Name the game" Haley said taking a small sip of her drink she could tell that it was orange juice and vodka.

"I never" Peyton said

Haley had a quizzical look on her face

"Everyone goes around the room saying something we've never done anyone who has takes a drink" Bevin explained

"Ok I'll go first" Theresa said "I've never…paid someone to have sex with me"

Tim was the only one that took a drink

"I've never" Tim started "gone out with someone I didn't know"

Brooke, Nathan, Haley, and josh-one of the basketball players took a drink

"I never…had sex in back of school" Brooke said

Peyton, and Nathan took a drink

"I never lied to my best friend" Peyton said looking at Haley

Nathan was the only one who took a drink

"Haley don't you think you should take a drink" Peyton asked

"No I never lied to my best friend"

"Never?" Peyton asked.

"Never"

"You just lied again" Peyton said growing angry

"What "

"You lied to me Haley"

"What are you talking about?"

"Oh don't act like you don't know"

"What is your problem?"

"My problem is you've been lying to me and you know it" Peyton said in full anger mode.

"I don't know what you're talking about" Haley said playing dumb

"fine act dumb see if I care but the next time you want a friend to talk to don't come to me because as far as I'm concerned we're not friends anymore" Peyton said storming out of the room

"Peyton" Haley yelled when Peyton didn't respond Haley looked at Nathan anger in her eyes she didn't even have to ask anything

"I didn't say anything I swear" Nathan said raising his hands as if to surrender

"No you didn't I did" Brooke said

"What"

"We saw you" Tim said stepping in

"What?" Nathan asked not believing his ears

"I needed a ride Brooke offered it to me and we saw you" Tim explained everyone in the room felt confused

"Haley what the hell are they talking about" Lucas said he had sat back for the whole conversation but he needed answers now.

"I have to go" Haley said leaving the room following the direction Peyton went in.

"Dude I'm sorry I didn't know" Tim tried

"Save it" Nathan said walking away.


"Peyton" Haley said searching the living room "Peyton" she tried again when she walked outside she saw Peyton sitting on the wrap around porch by herself "Peyton"

"Go away Haley"

"Peyton I'm sorry"

"Don't be there's obviously a reason you didn't tell me about Nathan"

"Peyton I didn't tell you because I didn't want to risk Lucas finding out before I could tell him"

"Tell him what"

"That I liked Nathan you know how he is"

"You should have come to me Haley I'm supposed to be your best friend"

"I know I was going to"

"When after you told Lucas what would have been the point"

"I'm sorry I didn't think-"

"That's right you didn't think" Peyton interrupted she started to walk away

"Peyton I'm sorry"

"I know but it's too late to be sorry" Peyton said walking across the lawn Haley went to follow her when she bumped into Lucas.

"Haley what was that in there"

"Nothing Luke" Haley said trying to catch up to Peyton

"No it wasn't nothing it was obviously something Haley" Lucas said blocking Haley

"Lucas not here"

"Yeah right here tell me what the hell all of that was about"

"Fine you want to know"

"Yeah" Lucas said as if it were the easiest thing in the world

"I like Nathan…and I've been kissing him"

"What why"

"Because I like him and he likes me"

"Why after everything"

"Lucas I've done everything in my life accordingly and I want to do something for me now"

"And this is so important that your gonna ruin your friendship with both me and Peyton"

"No I was gonna talk to you both but obviously she found out before I could tell you guys"

"How did she find out?"

"We were making out behind school after practice"

"Ok one why would you hide something like that and two to much info"

"Lucas I'm sorry I should have told you both before but I didn't want you guys to get hurt"

"Oh and us finding out like this doesn't hurt"

"You weren't supposed to find out this way"

"Well to late I'm with Peyton Haley I'm sorry but we can't be friends right now…or at least until I figure things out ok" and with that Lucas left


Tears in her eyes, she realized that she had no ride home and she wasn't about to ask Nathan so she went back to the party she went straight to the kitchen and found that everyone that was in the kitchen before were still there subtract a few people.

she looked straight at Brooke and walked up to her she got right in her face and Brooke opened her mouth like she was about to say something but before she could Haley reached behind her grabbed the bottle of vodka and left the room out of the moving glass door to the beach.


Haley was sitting on the beach for a while now when she heard a voice from behind her say something like mind if I take a seat or can I sit with you she couldn't tell she didn't say anything she just kept staring at the ocean the person took a seat next to her and

Haley was surprised to see Brooke sitting next to her hugging her knee's the same way Haley was.

"So did you tell everyone yet" Haley asked frigidly

"No I only told Peyton" Haley just nodded and took a gulp of the vodka even though she wasn't drunk she felt pretty bad "I'm sorry I just thought Peyton knew I mean she is you best friend I didn't know"

"I know you didn't"

"I'm sorry I didn't know all I said was I didn't know you guys were going out and said you weren't and I said then why were they making out yester-"

"Brooke"

"Yeah"

"I get it"

"Oh sorry"

"It's fine"

"No it's not"

"Yeah it is" Haley said unemotionally

"Haley I'm not as much of a bitch as I seem" Haley just looked at her "if I knew you guys were hiding it I never would have said anything"

"Sure" Haley said giving her attention to the ocean again

"really If I would have know that it would have cost you your friends I would have kept my mouth shut but you know me" Haley looked at her again "ok you don't know me but I wouldn't do that really"

"Thanks"

"Yeah"

"Brooke"

"Yeah"

"Really thanks"

"Umm your welcome" Brooke said not sure how to respond

"I know I'll get my friends back it'll take some work but I'll get them back I'm not sure how but I will and I think it was easier telling them the way they found out then telling them by myself"

"No problem if you need anyone to talk to I'm here ok" Haley gave her a small smile "I'll leave you alone"

"Thanks"

After sitting there for a while Haley started to let it go, she really started to weep.

"I'm sorry" said a muscular voice

Haley just nodded trying to wipe away the tears he sat down next to her he rubbed her back for reassurance

"You ok"

"No" Haley said

"I know it's hard for you"

"No you don't"

"Your right I don't"

"I know"

"So you know I'm sorry"

"Yeah I know"

"Are you" he looked at her "you know that we-"

"No"

"Your not"

"No I'm sorry that I lost my friends but I'm not sorry that I kissed you or that I like you"

"Me nether"

"I mean how could I be you're a great kisser"

"I am"

"Yeah"

"Really"

"Yeah" he smirked his famous smirk and looked away "so what does this mean I mean for us"

"What do you mean?"

"I mean are we still a we"

"Yeah I may have lost my friends but I still have you…that was cheesy"

"You good"

"I'll get them back but I don't know if I can do it alone" Haley said on the verge of tears.

"Yeah"

"So what should we do now?"

"I think I have an idea" Haley said leaning in to kiss him they stayed there in the sand making out.
