"What is there to say?" Haley asked Nathan.
"What Peyton and I did was a drunken mistake. It didn't mean anything, and whatever your reason is for being mad, don't blame her. Blame me." he told her.
"Did Peyton ask you to say that?" Haley hissed.
"No" Just then his phone started beeping. He took it out and read the caller ID frowning.
"I have to go now, please believe me" he muttered walking off out of her room.
"Because blaming you will hurt me even more" Haley mumbled to her self shutting the door from the whole out side world.
What was she going to do? No way could she carry on missing school just because things got awkward between all friends. She defiantly wasn't going to forgive Peyton, not for along time. What she did was UN forgivable and UN forgettable she didn't really know what to do. She was lost, scared and tired.
She needed to get some rest and to take whatever tomorrow threw at her.
She needed to sleep.

Haley sat in the school library studying for an English exam she had the next day. It was lunch time and for the third day in a row she was avoiding all her friends.
"Do you mind if we sit on this table with you?" asked a fair haired blonde girl asked followed by two guys.
"No its fine" she answered taking her bag of the table to give all the people room to sit down.
"Sorry to disturb you. There are no other tables free" the girl said smiling.
"It's okay, I'm Haley by the way, nice to meet you" Haley introduced her self to them.
"Hey I'm Georgina this is Mouth and Chris" she introduced pointing at the two guys she was with.
"Chris? You're in my Math class aren't you?" Haley asked smiling; Chris paused for a second then nodded.
"I am" he said.
--
The four spent the rest of the afternoon talking and having a laugh. Haley found it really relaxing to be with them and realised they were really easy people to talk to. Georgina was really kind and had a funny sense of humour, Mouth was really sweet and cute and Chris was mysterious, and Haley liked it.
Haley looked at her clock and realised she was meant to meet Lucas out side the basketball hall so he could take her home 15 minutes ago.
"Oh crap! I have to go. My brothers taking me home and he's waiting for me" she told them.
"It was really nice talking to you all. I'll see you Monday?" she asked hoping they wouldn't say no or something mean like that.
"Are you busy tonight?" asked Mouth.
"Probably not why?"
"We're going Cinema. Just wondering if you wanted to come?" Georgina added.
"Sure! Here's my cell number text me the details." She said running off to Lucas hoping he wouldn't be mad.
--
"Hey stranger" mumbled some one as soon as Haley walked into the basketball hall. Nathan was shooting baskets, topless. It took all Haley's will power not to stare.
"Hi Nathan" she answered.
"Where's Luke?" she asked.
"He said he had to go and told me to wait for you to take you home" Nathan said walking to his gym bag.
Damn you Lucas James!!
"Okay. I'll wait by the car" she said quickly running out the hall.
--
"So where have you been lately? You're never around" Nathan said getting into his car while Haley fastened her seat belt up. Haley knew she'd be having this conversation with him but didn't expect it to be this soon.
"Oh you know" she said putting the radio on to cover up any sense of awkwardness between the two.
"Not really. Brooke's really missing you" he told her turning around staring right into her eyes.
"Yeah well, I've been doing stuff, you know how things are" she fazed.
"So has your brother. What's been going on? I mean, you were like 20 minutes late for meeting him Haley. You never used to be late" he added.
"Well Nathan. Things change. You have to accept them." she told him.
"Yeah I know that. But not when your hurting people on the way" Nathan answered back.
"Hurting? I'm not even going to bother" she muttered looking out the window.
"Whatever Peyton did, don't blame Brooke. She's still your friend. Hell, don't blame your own flesh and blood, your own twin! He doesn't deserve any of this" Nathan carried on.
"Nathan, I'm just moving on, making new friends, doing new stuff..."
"Making new friends?" Nathan interrupted.
"Yeah I guess"
"Any one I know?" he asked.
"Georgina, Mouth… Chris" at that name Nathan tensed up. He'd met him before and he wasn't a nice guy. Chris was rude, big headed and known as a ladies man.
"Oh."
"What's the "oh" for?" she asked.
"Nothing, I just don't think it's a good idea." He mumbled paying his full attention to the road ahead of him.
"I really don't get you Nathan" she said shaking her head looking out the window.
"I'm only trying to protect you baby J" he smiled at her sweetly.
That smile…
"He's a guy, just like you, I'm not a baby, I don't need protecting" she said.
"What if I like protecting you?" he asked in a low husky voice.
"There's nothing to be protected from Nathan" she answered in a voice with no expression. She didn't want to give away any emotion; she didn't want him to know that voice made her heart skip a beat…
--
"Brooke? What are you doing here?" Haley asked as Nathan and herself walked into the house. Brooke was sitting in the living room holding a cup of coffee.
"Can I talk to Haley a lone? Please?" Brooke asked Nate. He nodded walking off into the kitchen.
"Hi" Haley muttered uncomfortably.
"Hey" Brooke equally unconformable.
"So I thought we could hang out tonight or something?" Brooke asked.
Haley paused for a while then answered.
"I'm kind of busy, but I'll cancel" Haley quickly said.
"Busy?" Brooke asked.
"Yeah, Georgina, Mouth and Chris asked to go cinema."
"You should go" Brooke said.
"No, I want to spend time with you" Haley said smiling.
"What happened to us? What happened to best friends forever?" Brooke blurted out.
Brooke, Haley and Peyton all 11 years old sat in the living room of Haley's house stuffing them selves with Sweets, chocolate and cookies.
"Let's tell ghost stories!!" Peyton said clapping her hands.
"No!! I cant I'll get nightmares!" Brooke wined covering her ears pouting. Both Peyton and Haley looked at each other rolling there eyes giving in. Even at that age Brooke got what she wanted.
"Well I think we should go scare the boys upstairs" Brooke said hoping they would say yes. Nathan and Lucas were upstairs watching one of Nathans father Dan's scary movies. They were strangely quite, not their usual selves.
"Lets stay down a bit; I can't believe you two are going away this summer!" Haley moaned scrunching her face up.
"Only for a few weeks" Peyton said. Peyton was going away to Hawaii with her father that summer and Brooke was going off to New York to see her mother.
"It's going to be Mega boring! I'm going to be stuck with the stupid boys" Haley wined.
"Luke's not that bad!" Brooke said immediately regretting her words going bright pink.
"Oh my god!! You totally have a crush on Haley's brother!!" Peyton shouted smacking her hands on her mouth.
"Shhh! They'll hear!! Oh my! Why oh why did I just say that!" Brooke screamed shaking her head viciously
"Eww! He's soo… Lucas! He's my brother Lucas. What do you see in him?" Haley asked.
"Wait no, don't answer that!" she quickly added.
"Course he's your brother stupid! Look don't tell him please!" Brooke begged.
"I won't. You're my best friend, and you Peyton." Haley mumbled grinning.
"Best friends" Peyton added.
"Best friends forever" Brooke said smiling.
"Well?" Brooke pushed after a long silence between the both.
"What Peyton did was… it was… it wasn't right. Please don't tell me you're on her side?" Haley asked. Maybe she didn't want to ask about the side bit but why was Brooke acting as if nothing had happened?
"I don't. I just want things to be normal. How they were. I miss us. It's only been three days"
"I miss things. But I don't think I can ever look at Peyton again, I'm sorry."
"I know. But she feels terrible. You know that right?"
"Listen, I don't know how to put this. What would you do if she slept with my brother?" Asked Haley.
"I know. I know… I just want my best friend back" Brooke asked.
"Look, I'll cancel my plans today and spend the whole evening with you" Haley offered.
"Are you sure?"
"Yeah, I missed you B.Davis" Haley said grinning.
"Me too Baby J" Brooke smiled raising her eye brows.

"Oh my god! The way you're explaining this Chris K guy! You so love him!!" Brooke squealed. It had been 2 hours since Haley and Brooke made up and it was as if they'd never been apart. Haley texted Georgina saying something had come up which Georgina was fine with.
"I don't!! He's just so mysterious and really cute!" Haley mumbled going slightly pink.
"So your over Mr Scott?" Brooke asked referring to Nathan.
"To be honest, if I said no I would be lying. I can't help it! It's so frustrating because I want to hate him, but as soon as he puts on his "Nathan Scott Charm" I fall back into that trap. I think I'll always have a thing for him. It's like he's tattooed him self on me!" Haley explained.
"We were all so worried about you, Nathan and Luke were getting really protective saying they were going to find you and beat who ever the hell you were with but we stopped them. I knew you needed space. I just didn't want you to block me out" Brooke mumbled looking to the ground.
"I'm sorry, it was my fault. I thought if I blocked all of you out it would make me feel better. But it didn't. I got so depressed. And as soon as I walked into that basketball hall seeing Nate and not Luke I knew something was up. Is Luke mad?" Haley asked.
"I wish I had a better answer. But yes, he was always so fidgety when he saw you around school on your own or not at all. It drove him crazy, so he started to be a bit moody you know, like a girl on her period? But he'll be is usual self by tomorrow." Brooke said.
"Hey girls." Both Nate and Lucas walked in. Lucas didn't say a word and didn't make any eye contact with Haley.
"Hey Brooke can you help me fix something to eat?" Nathan asked. Brooke nodded getting up following him in the kitchen.
"Look I'm so…" Haley began interrupted by Lucas
"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have been such a moody arse" Lucas carried on.
"No, it's my fault. I cut you out when I needed you the most. I'm really sorry Lucas" Haley mumbled.
"I'm sorry too" He said taking her in his arms hugging his baby sister.
"Oh look they've finally made up!" Nate said walking in with 4 glasses of Coke followed by Brooke with a big plate of chips.
"We're going to watch a movie!! It's been too long since we've done this" Brooke squealed putting the plate down on the table running the couch jumping on making her self comfy.
"I think we should watch The Note Book" Brooke said holding the DVD case up swaying it in the air.
"Hell no! We're going to watch Final Destination!!" Nate said running to the DVD player putting it in.
Brooke screamed running after him jumping on his back pulling him back.
"Lucas James! Help me right now!" She ordered still on his back!
Lucas got up and lifted Brooke up on his shoulders.
"I think Haley should have the choice" Lucas said putting Brooke down.
"Come on Baby J? What do you choose?" Nathan said grinning at her.
"Yeah, Haley? What do you choose?" Asked Brooke equally smiling at her showing her teeth.
"I can't choose!!" Haley screamed!
"Lucas you choose?" Haley asked holding her ears.
"Sorry Baby girl" he said looking at Brooke…
"YES!" Nate shouted.
"You've made me watch this film 3 times already, any way I want to hold you when you get scared" He winked pulling her in for a hug kissing her fore head.
"Please, are you sure I won't be protecting you?" She said laughing.
"Guess I'll be protecting you Baby J" Nate said making Haley go bright pink.
"I guess so" she stuttered.
