day of the wedding

All was quiet. All was dark. Haley was lying in her bed sleeping peacefully when –

ring ring

The phone rang.

ring ring

She jumped up and turned on the lamp. "Who could be calling this early?"

I t was her cell phone that was ringing. She looked at the receiving call.

She smiled widely. "Of course. Hey Luke." Haley grinned answered.

"Hey Hales."

She immediately became more awake. "Why are you calling this early? It's . . . 3:00! In case you hadn't heard I've got a wedding tomorrow." She told him her heart slightly sinking.

"I know." He replied sadly. "I was just calling because I was up. I've gotten so used to Brooke calling me around this time. It's just become a habit. So I decided to call you."

Haley sat up. "Oh really is that all? I'd thought you had an actual reason to call."

"Well I thought I'd just call you. Because this might be the last chance I get to call you 3:00 in the morning without Nathan getting suspicious."

She laughed. "Yeah right. Nathan getting suspicious of you and me-" she cut off.

The line was silent for a moment as they thought about it. And with the thought of the other day's occurrences. The silence was getting a bit too awkward and they could both feel it.

Haley finally broke it. "So how about lunch tomorrow?"

Lucas was confused. "Tomorrow? But don't you have a wedding?"

"Of course silly! But I mean before it. The ceremony's not til 2:00 anyway. And besides it won't take me very long to get ready. I'm not my sister."

"Oh so it's like a last day for just you and me?" he asked grinning.

Haley thought about it and answered. "Yeah since last time we didn't get one. So how about it? You, me, a couple of sandwiches. On top of the café. At . . . 12:00?" She smiled. Thinking that it'd be just like old times.

Lucas agreed. "Sure. Can't wait."

"Oh and bring a couple of golf clubs and golf balls. Never know. Might just be just like way back when." She giggled looking out the window. Her heart bursting with sadness at the thought of being alone with Lucas one last time.

He laughed heartily. "Okay. Which probably means that I'll lose again?"

"Hell yeah." She joked. "Okay, now good night! I've got a wedding tomorrow I'd like to get rested for. And I'm pretty sure Nathan doesn't want his best man falling asleep at the altar either." Laughed Haley as she turned off her lamp.

"Okay. But first I've got a question to ask you." Lucas told her softly. "Do you really want to marry Nate again?"

Haley closed her eyes and sighed. Finally after what seemed like hours to Lucas she answered. "You know what Luke?" she toward a picture that someone had taken when Nathan had proposed to her. She saw in that picture that she had a look of happiness and hate. Like someone had let her down. "I ask myself that same question everyday."

Lucas didn't quite know what to say to that answer.

"Good night Lucas."

And finally he decided that there was nothing to say to that except,

"Night Hales."

The dial tone came.

"I love you." He whispered.
