Thanks to Agel15, Molly, lenfaz, and everyone else who gave me feedback on the last chapter! The next update will be coming soon, hopefully this weekend. It will be a selected scene from the season 2 finale.
Chapter 10
The "We got married last night" scene from the Season 1 Finale
Lucas stood there in shock after Haley told him she married Nathan last night. He was angry, but also felt very jealous. He used to be the only guy in Haley's life and now he felt as if he had lost Haley. His mind was filled with questions. How could she suddenly get married at sixteen? Why now? And of all the people in the world, she chose to marry Nathan. He wanted to leave and never turn back, but he knew his heart was telling him to stay with her. He found himself going towards the door and Haley grabbing his arm, telling him to wait. Haley told Nathan to give them a few minutes alone and Nathan retreated to their bedroom. Haley looked into Lucas' eyes. "Don't go, I have to explain all this to you."
"No, Hales, don't bother," Lucas was agitated with her. He couldn't believe she would go and get married so quickly.
"Lucas, I want to explain to you why I got married, please," Haley pleaded with him.
"Forget it; I know you're in love with him. You don't have to tell me that again," Lucas told her.
"That's not the only reason, Luke!" Haley exclaimed.
"Then, what is it? Why would you go and get married so young?"
"Because…" Haley paused for a moment. This was hard to admit to him. "…you're leaving and I don't know what I'm going to do without you. You said yourself Nathan is going to be there now for the things we used to do. So, I just thought maybe it would be better for us if I just married Nathan."
"I can't believe you would do this, Hales. You're so young. How are you going to support yourselves with your minimum wage jobs, huh?"
"It's not about money, it's about love."
"Of course, you know what? That's fine! Go be married. You and me, we're only a memory now," Lucas was feeling very bitter.
"Lucas, don't do this. Don't leave me like this," Haley pleaded once again.
"It's too late, Hales. You chose to be with him and I'm going to have to accept that."
"Luke, you're acting like you're jealous."
"I am. He has you and I don't. Don't you know I love you with all my heart and that I would do anything for you?"
"I love you, too, Luke."
"Not the way you love him. Not in the way that I love you."
"I know."
"No, you don't know!"
And with that, Lucas did the one thing he wanted to do ever since he saw her with Nathan. He pulled her into a passionate kiss. She wasn't expecting this reaction at all. She thought he would be happy for them or at least happy for her. Apparently, he was not. He was jealous, he wanted her. He left her speechless a moment later as his lips left hers. Another moment passed and she breathed deeply, "Lucas," looking him in the eyes. "I love you, too. I really do." She kissed him back and he left a few minutes later with a tearful goodbye. He had to go. He kept on hurting people. He had just kissed his brother's wife, his sister-in-law. But it felt far from incestuous, it felt right.
