Day of the wedding
"Lucas Scott. What are you doing?"
Lucas jumped at the voice and turned around. He sighed with relief when he saw who it was.
It was Haley.
She had her arms crossed and was grinning at him.
"You look beautiful Hales." He told her.
Haley smiled sheepishly at him. "Aw shut up Luke. I'm not even dressed for the wedding yet. As of right now I probably look like crap."
'You never look like crap' thought Lucas.
"So tell me," asked Haley again. "What exactly are you doing?"
He looked down at what he was doing. "I'm . . . setting up . . . the mini golf stuff . . ."
Haley laughed at him. "You do know that you're doing it completely wrong."
"Wrong? There's nothing to it! All you do is . . . set the thing down . . . and . . . yeah!"
She shook her head and laughed some more. "Uh-huh." She walked over to him and took the golf club. "I know what you're trying to do. You're trying to make it easier so you can win. But let me tell you Lucas Eugene Scott."
Lucas made a face. He hated when people used his full name.
Haley continued. "I can always beat you. And that's a fact."
She set the ball down, hit it and it went in the hole. "Ha! Point one for me! Game over!" she threw down hr club and walked over to Lucas with a smirk on her face. "What did I tell you Scott? You maybe good at basketball but mini golf was never your thing."
"Game over?" Lucas asked her. "We haven't even started yet! Besides I might've improved in the last few years"
"Yeah sure. Brooke told me that when you and her played you could never find the hole." Haley told him while trying to take the golf club Lucas was holding. But he kept tugging it away from her.
"She told you that?" he asked his voice squeaking slightly.
Haley kept tugging. "Yeah. She told me everything except the 'private stuff'"
Lucas turned as red as a beet.
"What?" she asked him. "Oh god." She suddenly dropped the club. "I just now realized what she meant." Haley closed her eyes. "No. Now I have an image in my head. Ahh! No!"
Lucas began to laugh nervously.
Haley opened one eye looking at slightly at Lucas. "So you could never find the hole eh?" she chuckled. "I'm so glad that I picked your brother over you."
Lucas quietly began cursing his brother under his breath. 'Oh yeah he gets the wonderful one. Me on the other hand. Apparently, I'm in love with –'
"Luke?" Haley asked walking over to him. "You okay? No need to look so mad. Brooke was just joking. I'm sure you could . . . you know . . . find the hole." She told him blushing slightly. 'Although I'll never find out now will I?'
Lucas became aware of his surroundings again. His head popped up. "Oh yeah. Just thinking. Hey you hungry? I'm starving. Please tell me we can eat now. I even made the sandwiches."
Haley's face softened. "You made the sandwiches? Last time you did that was . . . back in Junior High!"
Lucas pulled out a picnic basket. He then carefully pulled out a sheet and set it down.
Haley smiled as he began pulling things out of the basket.
First she saw him pull out the plates, then the drinks which were fruit punch Gatorades and finally the sandwiches and chips.
"Wow. You sure did come prepared. How cute!" she said sitting beside him while setting out the plates for each of them.
Finally after they both got situated and were ready to eat Haley looked at her sandwich. It was peanut butter and strawberry jam. With the crust cut off of course. "Oh Luke! My favorite!"
Lucas smiled to himself. He was hoping that she would catch that. He had to boggle his memory just to remember what she always made when she came over to his house.
"With the crusts cut off! How did you remember? Even Nathan doesn't know that I like this!" she asked him.
"It was hard to remember. I had to remember everything we'd ever eaten when we were younger. Although I just had to look in the cabinets and remember that the jam and peanut butter jars were almost always nearly empty. My mom had to always go out and buy some more."
Haley chuckled. She looked down at the food. It was indeed everything they had mostly eaten everytime they had gone on a picnic when they were younger. Peanut Butter and strawberry jam sandwiches, Lay's potato chips, and Gatorade. Which didn't seem like much now but at the time it was the only thing that they could sneak out without Karen noticing.
Her heart leaped as she realized this was what she lived for when she was younger. The special times with Lucas. It didn't matter what was going on. It was one thing she always looked forward to.
She sighed. And now she realized . . . this was what she still lived for.
Quickly she put down her sandwich.
"Luke. I have something to tell you." she said this just as Lucas said the same thing.
They laughed. "You go first." Lucas told her.
She shook her head. "No you go. I'm sure whatever you have to say is far more important than what I'm gonna say." 'Which I find that hard to believe.'
Lucas nodded and sighed. 'Here goes nothing . . . well everything.'
Finally he began to say the things he'd been dwelling on and decided was the best.
