Chapter 3: Unspoken Words

Haley abruptly woke up from the noise of a smashing glass.She heard Brooke's yelling out of their room, she couldn't hear what she was saying though. She stood up wondering what was going on. At first she peeked from the door then she saw Peyton in their living room standing right in front of Brooke and crying. Brooke looked like she was about to rip her head off. Haley immediately made her way in there. Both Brooke and Peyton looked at her for a second before they continued their fighting.

"I didn't do it to hurt you Brooke. You have to understand. I love him. And believe me it hurt me more for months. Seeing you two together everyday I cried every night."

"Well good for you bitch. You deserved it." Brooke said with a hostile look in her eyes.

"No, I didn't. And you know it. I loved him before you did. And you knew that too. That didn't stop you from being with him. Why should I stop now?" They all knew that was true.

"I asked you too many times Peyton. I asked you as if you were okay with me & Lucas. You kept telling me that you were fine. How could I know?" she lied.

"Oh Brooke you did ask me but you were mostly like "Peyton are you okay with us I mean I am so happy with him please don't tell me that you are not." She said mimicking Brooke. "See, you never gave me a chance to say no I'm not fine with it."

"And that gives you the right for sleeping with him?" Haley said taking one more step towards Peyton. "Plus he was still with Brooke. There is a difference with what Brooke did to you… So your reasons are not accepted in here." Haley added pointing between Brooke and herself with her hands. Peyton couldn't believe her ears that actually she heard the words from Haley.

"Oh look who is cursing my reasons… So tell me James how are your reasons going anyway are they accepted or are you still lying about them?" she cocked her eyebrow questioningly.

"What the hell are you talking about? Why would Haley have reasons? She hasn't done anything wrong." Brooke asked not understanding a word Peyton said while Haley just stood there in shock and with completely red cheeks.

"Ohhh I see. Someone is still lying here. Back up Haley; don't make me say something YOU will regret." Haley nodded. She was speechless. She knew what Peyton was talking about; she wondered how she figured that one out. "And Brooke we are going to continue this later. You need to chill out first. Then I am going to tell you the whole story FROM the beginning. You have to listen closely to everything I have to say before you decide to have me in your life or not. Because, I need you. And I don't want to lose you over anything. But I can't lose him either. So we have to find a solution. Well, later when we are chilled out enough. Ok?"

"FINE. Now please just go I need to talk to Haley. BYE." She turned her back to Peyton and locked her eyes with Haley. Peyton made her way out without saying another word.

"Soo… Haley what was that about?" Brooke asked not even having a clue for what was going on.

"Can we talk about this later too, please?" she asked hopefully.

"Of course NOT. You are not something I can talk later. You are the only one I can lean on. So please tell me what you are lying about. I can't take it anymore. Everyone lies. Just like, everyone leaves. I can never want you out of my life and hell I can't take any lie if that is from you." Brooke pleaded.

Oh Brooke if only you knew… I can't tell you. I have to get out of here right now before I do something stupid. Haley thought sadly.

"I have to go." and made her way to the door but Brooke reached for her arm to stop her.

"Why won't you just tell me? Believe me the world is not going to end." What's wrong with her?

"You don't understand. The world will end for me if I say something."

"How can you be sure about that? It's me you are talking about. You can tell me anything, EVERY-thing."

"Not this. Believe me. So please let me go."

"If you walk out that door don't come back." Brooke said harshly. Haley froze with the words. After regaining her composure she talked.

"This is for the best." Brooke let go of her arm in slow motion not believing she was actually leaving. What is she lying about? What is so damn hard to tell that made her leave? I don't even know what she is choosing over me. She didn't notice that Haley left until she heard the door slam. She was gone. Everyone she cared about was gone. She was all alone. Scratch it. Haley was all she cared right now. And she didn't even know why she had to leave. That was killing her. She hardly made her way to the bed and cried to sleep…

Sometimes we let affection,
go unspoken,
Sometimes we let our love
go unexpressed,
Sometimes we can't find words to tell
our feelings,
Especially towards those
we love the best.

She had too much to say. But she couldn't speak. That hurt her the most. She knew she can't take the time back and say what she should have said earlier. It was too late. She was walking not knowing where her feet would bring her. She couldn't stop her tears. She wiped them off after hearing a familiar voice, not wanting anyone to see her cry.

"Haley?" she turned her head to see Peyton. She looked at her shyly more than a minute.

"How'd you know?" she asked with an unconfident voice.

"It was too obvious Haley. You would never move in with anyone just because you had a little fight with your sister. Plus you are fine with Taylor now. I know you very well. And did you see the way you look at Brooke?" Haley looked down.

"How come only you notice this but not her or anyone else for that matter? And why didn't you say anything before?"

"I've waited for you to tell me. She is too naïve to think that you have an interest in her. I really don't know why Lucas never got suspicious though." she said still trying to figure out the last part. "Whatever, screw why. Now you tell me what are you doing here and why have you been crying? Did you tell her?" her eyes widening with the thought Brooke freaking out on Haley.

"No! I ran away. She pushed me though. She wanted an explanation but how could I tell her that I was in love with her since the first day she was kind towards me." she blushed at her own words. It was the first time she said that out loud. "I don't want to lose her that's why I left and then she told me not to come back. So I lost her anyway huh?"

"I'm sure she didn't mean it. Hell I'm positive she told you that only to keep you in there you know. It's like a defense mechanism. You tell the reverse and keep the good thing with you. But obviously it didn't work out. You left anyway. And I don't agree with you. Honestly, I really don't know how she would react if you told her the truth. But I don't think you could ever lose her. She cares about you a lot. I've never seen her so sweet to anyone before you. Well you know, we never needed to be sweet to each other or anything. We were just… " Haley raised her hand to cut her.

"Ramble much?"

"Umm, sorry? I was just trying to help."

"Believe me at this point you are the last person who can help." Peyton widened her eyes in shock.

"You don't want to be friends with me too. Do you?"

"No, no. I mean you have a lot bigger problems with Brooke than I have now. That's why you can't help me. Can I crash at your place? I don't want to face her tonight. "

"Yea sure. You are welcome anytime. But promise me you are going to talk to her tomorrow okay?" she said as they started walking to Peyton's house.

"Okay I promise. Hey Peyt?"

"What is it Hales?" she said putting an arm around Haley.

"Do you know the song Look After You by The Fray?"

"Of course I do."

"It keeps playing in my mind, I can't shut it off." Haley said as her eyes got weary again.

"Come on. You need to rest and stop thinking. And tomorrow, when you talk to her apologize, beg , plead. Do whatever you have to do. And gain her trust back. Or else you are going to lose her forever. I guess you don't want that to happen." she said dragging her faster down the road.

Don't hate me. It had to be like this. But I promise I'll make it up to you. :)
