Chapter Two: Need a Favor

"So, I hear that Nathan Scott has his eyes on you," Peyton says with a hint of jealousy.

Haley laughs and shakes her head.

"He's not my type."

Peyton raises her eyebrows.

"Oh really, well than what type of guy are you into?"

"Most people won't like what I am about to say."

She couldn't mean…Peyton thinks.

"You mean…"

Haley nods her head.

"Men aren't exactly my type."

"But you have known that I liked girls for months now!"

"Yes I do, but that doesn't mean that I am just going to date you."

Peyton frowns.

"Well why not?"

"Because we are friends and besides you have to ask me to dinner first."

Peyton smiles and a few minutes later Peyton speaks up.

"Haley, will you go to dinner with me."

Haley smiles and looks up from the book she was reading.

"I thought you'd never ask."

After hearing Haley's declaration of wanting to come home, Peyton sat down in the desk chair facing Haley.

"Why?"

"Because I love you Peyton," Haley pleads.

"If you loved me you wouldn't have ever left."

"Peyton…"

Peyton shakes her head.

"I don't want to hear it Haley. I just want to move on from it…"

Haley's eyes light up until she hears Peyton's next words.

"And from you…Look, you can stay in the guestroom until you find a place."

Haley wipes other tears and stands up, before walking out the door with her bags in her hand. She says one more thing.

"I love you Peyton. I always have and I always will."

Peyton watches Haley close the door.

"I love you, too."

The next morning Peyton walks downstairs to see Haley cooking at the stove.

"What are you doing?"

"Cooking you breakfast."

Peyton frowns and sits at the table.

"Why are you doing that?"

Haley turns around and looks at her wife.

"We do this for each other all the time."

"That was three months ago Haley, before you left me for Jessica."

"I did not leave you for her!"

"That's beside the point Haley. You still left."

Haley shuts off the stove and straddles Peyton's lap.

"I left to sing Peyt. I didn't leave us. I love you Peyton. I love you so much it hurts."

Peyton wipes the tears off of her wife's face.

"I can't do this Hales. When I look at you all I see is a runner."

Peyton stands up from her chair with Haley in her arms and places her on the chair.

"I've got to go."

Peyton leaves the kitchen where Haley sat crying.

"You have to do me a favor," Peyton says as she storms into Brooke's apartment.

"Well good morning," Brooke says with a raised eyebrow.

"I need you to ask Haley to move in with you."

Brooke looks at Peyton with confusion.

"Haley's not here."

Peyton sighs.

"She came home last night."

Brooke rolls her eyes and sits down next to her blonde haired friend on the couch.

"Is her tour playing in Tree Hill?"

Peyton shakes her head.

"She came home Brooke. She came back to me."

Brooke smiles.

"That's a great thing Peyt. Wait why do you want me to ask her to move in with me?"

"Because it hurts Brooke, it's still fresh in my mind. It hurts."

"I could use a roommate."

Peyton smiles at her best friend.

"Thanks Brooke and I'll pay for half of your apartment rent."

Brooke raises an eyebrow.

"Haley wouldn't like that. She'd want to do it herself."

"I know which is why you will tell her nothing about this conversation. Have her pay for food or something and if she give you money for rent save it for me."

Brooke nods her head.

"Will do friend, now tell me the truth, how do you feel about your wife coming home?"

Peyton smiles slightly.

"It feels like I can breathe again."

"So, I guess this means you aren't going to start dating?"

Haley walks into Karen's Café and spots Lucas staring at her.

"Are you really here?"

Haley nods her head.

"I'm really here."

Lucas smiles and hugs Haley.

"I missed you buddy."

"I missed you too."

Lucas pulls away.

"Have you seen your wife?"

Haley nods her head.

"I don't think she likes me very much."

"She loves you Hales. She's just hurting."

Haley nods her head.

"I know it's just the timing with my music happened at the worst time. I had just gotten married Luke."

Lucas nods his head.

"Yeah, Brooke and I know. We were there."

Peyton and Haley are walking hand in hand with smiles on their faces.

"I think our best friends should be there," Haley states.

Peyton nods her head in agreement.

"I'll tell Brooke and you tell Lucas to meet us at the beach at sunrise."

Haley smiles before softly kissing her soon to be wife.

"Perfect."

"Haley, are you okay?" Lucas asks in concern.

Haley snaps out of her reverie and looks at her friend.

"Yeah, just remembering, do you think I can get my old job back?"

Lucas laughs and nods his head.

"Yeah, we've been kind of short staffed so I'm pretty sure you can get it back."

Lucas and Haley sit at the booth and start to catch up.

"So, what did Peyton say when you saw her?"

"Basically she said she wanted to move on from me and that I can stay in the guestroom until I find a place."

"Wait, didn't Larry give you the house after you and Peyton got married?"

Haley nods her head.

"Yeah, I mean it was nice because we don't have a mortgage since it was paid for, but Peyton grew up in that house and I didn't. It's more hers anyway."

Lucas frowns.

"How bad was it? When I left?" Haley asks shyly.

Lucas looks out the window and back at his friend.

"She was a mess Hales. We barely saw her and it took Brooke and a lot of patience to get through to her, but she's healing."

"I screwed Luke. And I don't know how to fix it."

"You showed up. That's a start."
