CH7 SUMMER VACATION:

Welcome To Colorado, was what Haley read once she stepped out of the tunnel. She was exhausted and hungry. Once again the plane had crapy food. I really have to book a first class seat next time, she thought. She went over to seat down at the waiting seats. She got out her ipod and sunglasses. She adjusted her sunglasses on, but before she plugged in the earphones someone spoke to her.

"We really have to stop meeting like this" he smirked looking down at her. She took her sunglasses, smiling.

"Nice to see you to Nathan" she said. He walked over to sit next to her.

"Going to see your friend Peyton again?" he asked, turning to her.

"You know it. Where you going to? Tree Hill again?" she asked. He shook his head.

"No, I'm also going to California to visit my grandparents" he said. Haley turned to him.

"Really, so you flew here from Charlotte?" she asked.

"Yeah, in the Bluesy Airplane" he answered, taking his water bottle out.

"Odd, I was also in that airplane. I never saw you" Haley said.

"Were you in regular class?" he asked.

"Yeah" she answered.

"That's why. I always fly in first class" he grinned. She rolled her eyes.

"My mistake. I forgot you're rich" she said, pulling a magazine out.

"So what are you planning on doing this summer?" he asked, sliding closer to her to see her magazine. She could feel him breath in her.

"I guess the same thing we did last year. Swim, cheer, dance, tan, shop oh and most importantly meet cute guys. Who knows I might I have fling while I'm there" she smiled thinking about it. Nathan scrunched his face disgusted.

"Ok, at least you'll be occupied" he joked. Haley didn't hear him, she was to busy fantasizing. Nathan sighed.

"So were are you doing this summer Nathan?" Nathan said in high pitch voice pretending to be Haley.

"Well thank you for asking Haley. I'm going to be working more on my basketball. Maybe like you I'll find a fling too" he grinned. Haley turned to him laughing.

"I don't sound like that" she said, hitting him in the shoulder. Nathan slouched.

"Trust me you do" he whispered, but Haley heard him. She rolled up the magazine hitting him in the head twice.

"Hey!" he yelled, rubbing his head. Haley stuck her tongue out.

"That's what you get" she said, reading her magazine again.

"But twice?" he asked still rubbing his head, she hit him hard.

"The second time was for being annoying" she said calmly.

"I forgot how much I missed you" he sarcastically said, he turned to him, but he quickly struck his head away so he wouldn't be hit again.

"I wasnt going to hit you silly, I was going to say the same thing" she said, giving him a fake smile. He chuckled at her reaction. And hour later the flight to California was announced.

"So I'll see you when were in California" Haley said, gathering her things, walking to the tunnel.

"Ok" he said, thinking for the moment.

Minutes Later...

Eww, from all the people I had to sit next to, why her? Why? Haley whined to herself, watching the old women aside her take her teeth out and flossing them and then with a tooth pick, take out difficult parts. Haley squirmed for a moment looking out the window. Relax its only and hour flight she said to herself.

"Excuse me ma'am, but how would you like to sit in first class?" Haley looked back and saw Nathan talking to the lady. She mouthed, what are you doing?

"No thank you" the old women said.

"Please reconsider, it comes with limited use of…floss and drinks" he said, looking at her gross teeth's grossed out.

"Tempting but no thank you" she said going back to flossing her teeth. Nathan stood there looking at Haley place a hand in her face so she wouldn't see the old lady do her business.

"Look, it's just that the lady that booked my flight missed up, she put me in first class by accident, I'm suppose to be here…um..um…with my girlfriend Haley, who's sitting right next to you" he lied. Haley turned around mouthing again, what? The lady looked at Haley, who smiled at her then back at Nathan who also smiled at her.

"Really, how awful" the lady seemed to buy it.

"Yeah, you see… she missed up. And I need Nathan to sit by me too. You see I'm afraid of planes and… and, um, I need Nathan next to me to… hold my hand, so I don't freak out" Haley said unsure and feeling dumb. Nathan looked at her wanting to laugh. The lady packed her stiff.

"Oh Sweetie, no need to be afraid, but I understand. I use to be afraid too. But I wont interfere any longer. I love seeing young people in love" she said standing up, swiftly Nathan sitting down in her spot. Few seconds later the old lady was still there watching them.

"Um, the seat is ahead row 5 seat B"Nathan said creped out that someone was watching him and Haley

"No, it isn't that. Is just that you two look so cute together" she smiled. Both Haley and Nathan blushed. Haley smiled brightly, lacing her fingers with Nathan's.

"Thank you" she said. While Nathan was still smiling too. The old lady smiled back and left shortly.

"How creepy was she?" Haley asked, not noticing her hand and Nathan were still together.

"Tell me about it, did she see the way she kept staring at us, and then with her teeth's what was that?" he said looking at her. Haley laughed.

"Um, Hales. As much as I love holding your hand too, could you release it. I will like to have circulation throughout the flight" he said, Haley quickly released it blushing.

"Sorry" she said, looking away, avoiding embarrassment. Nathan chuckled.

"You look sexy when you blush you know that" he smirked. Haley turned to him still blushing.

"And you look sexy when you just smile not smirk, you know that" smirking back. They both laughed.

An Hour Later…

When the plane ride was over both Haley and Nathan were looking for there bags.

"Hey Nate, thanks for what you did earlier. It was really brave of you to give up your comfy seat to sit next to me. Thanks" she smiled. Nathan smiled nodding.

"No problem, plus it wasn't that bad. They could use more TV instead of 4 in the whole section but it was worthy it. Anyways I could sense your death wish from the front" he smirked. Haley rolled her eyes laughing. Once they were done, both kept walking down the aisle to meet the ones that were going to pick them up. But before they entered, the old lady appeared again.

"Heads up lady at 12 o'clock" Haley warned. Nathan changed hands in dragging his bag, holding Haley's hand again.

"Have a great summer" the old lady said as she walked bye.

"You too" they both said, waiting a little until they laughed and released each other.

"Alright, I see my grandma from here. So I guess I'll see you when I see you" he said, looking at her.

"Yeah, well have fun. Call me when your bored or something" she said.

"For sure, bye" he said leaning in to hug her.

"Bye" Haley said, releasing from him and changing direction to walk. They waved good bye and went their separate ways. Haley kept walking ahead, trying to find Peyton.

"Haley!" she heard Peyton scream behind her. Haley turned around smiling. She let go of her things, to go hug Peyton. They hugged for a while.

"Peyton! You got taller again. But I love what you did with your hair, your went blonder. I like it" Haley said, getting her things.

"No, look at you! You let your hair grow. And your more toned" Peyton said.

"Haley hello, how was your flight?" ask Peyton's dad, grabbing her things.

"Fine, I actually like it. Thank you again for letting me stay a whole summer" Haley smiled at him. They all began to walk to the car, Peyton and Haley were a few feet behind, linking arms.

"So how was the cute guy you were with A. you held hands with then B. hugged and C. smiled awkwardly and the D. waved good bye. Details" Peyton asked. Haley smiled looking at her.

"That's Nathan, Lucas twin brother. The one that I was accused cheating with when I was with Eric" Haley said. Peyton chuckled.

"No wonder Eric was jealous. Nathan's gorgeous" Peyton said, while Haley shrugged.

"I guess" she said.

1 Month Later…

"I'm bored" Haley whined lifting her head from the bed to look at Peyton who was laying on the floor.

"What's Rachel and Nicky doing?" Haley asked.

"Rachel's on a date, Nicky's out of town" Peyton dully said, switching sides to look at Haley.

"See that's what we need, we need to go on dates... Ah double dates" Haley hinted, sitting on the bed now.

"That sound fun, expect your missing one little detail. We don't have dates or guys for the matter of fact" Peyton said.

"Ugh, you live here. Where do they hang out?" Haley asked. Peyton stood from the floor.

"In anywhere that has to do with sports or weights. I know lets go to the record store" Peyton said grabbing her purse.

"Of course, your room looks a little lonely" Haley sarcastically said pointing out the shelf of records Peyton has. Peyton looked at Haley.

"Fine!" Haley groaned, getting her bag as well.

An Hour Later…

"Radiohead or the Cure?" Peyton said to herself, holding both records.

"Definitely Radiohead" a dark voice said behind her. Peyton jumped startled. She turned around.

"Jake, you scared me... Why Radiohead?" she asked him.

"Because I like them" he smiled. Peyton chuckled, nodding.

"Fine, I'll buy it, because you like it…but now you have to buy the Cure" she said, handing him the record.

"Why is that?" asked looking at it.

"Because I like them" she smiled. From 3 aisles away Haley was hearing the interaction between Peyton and this Jake guy. Aghh, Peyton has a crush! How cute! Its obvious they like each other, Haley thought smiling. She began to walk closer to them, not trying to get noticed. She was finally only 10 feet away. Peyton and um.. Yeah Jake, Peyton and Jake sitting on a tree, k I s s I n g- crash

"Son of a, who in their right mind leaves their bag on the middle on the floor?!" Haley yelled once she was on the floor, she landed on her stomach.

"I'm so sorry, here let me help you" Jake said walking to her, helping her get up. Peyton stayed still, covering her mouth not to laugh.

"No, it's ok…I'm always falling anyways" Haley said, grabbing his hand to stand from the floor. They looked at each other laughing. Haley was blushing, letting go of his hand.

"Haley are you ok?" Peyton asked, walking to them.

"Yes. I am, so I'll just go back over there and do my thing while you…Continue" Haley winked passing her. Jake grabbed his backpack from the floor walking to Peyton smiling and pointing to Haley.

"That's Haley James for you" Peyton laughed. He nodded laughing with her.

"Is she always so…" he was trying to think of a weird.

"Original?" Peyton answered. He nodded.

"What is she your cousin?" he asked.

"Friend, actually. She's visiting me from North Carolina" Peyton said.

"Oh" he said. Peyton sensed a little awkwardness.

"Well look we have to go, but I'll see you around" Peyton said, giving the cashier the money fro the album.

"Alright" he said leaving the store. Haley quickly ran to Peyton.

"What happened?" Haley asked, observing Peyton.

"He had to leave" she lied.

"Sucks, it looks like you two were hitting it off" Haley said, as they both left the store.

3 Weeks Later…

"I'll get it" Haley said, walking downstairs to open the door. Peyton was currently chatting with a guy on line. Haley opened the door, licking her fingers, she's been eating cheetos.

"Hi Haley, right?" Jake asked.

"Hi, Jake. Oh yeah I'm Haley" Haley said extending her hand. Jake shook it but immediately released, looking at his hand that was now red. Haley blushed instantaneously.

"I'm so sorry. I forgot I was eating cheetos. Here let me…" she grabbed his arm with the red fingered hand and tried to clean the hand with her napkin from her clean hand. Jake laughed now noticing his arm had been now covered in red finger prints.

"Ahh, I'm sorry. Why don't I just don't touch you anymore. I mean not that I wanted to touch you or anything, I didn't I just forgot I had my- he cut her off.

"It's ok, really. What guy doesn't want to be covered in red fingerprints by a pretty girl" he said. Haley stop laughing. Is he flirting with me? She thought.

"Right. Um so you're here to see Peyton right?" she asked hoping that he was.

"Yeah, I'm here to see Peyton and you" he said.

"Oh, ok let me get her. Come in" she said walking up stairs while Jake closed the store.

"Peyton, Jakes here" Haley said walking inside the room. Peyton laughed reading the message.

"Haley listen to this idiot, oh baby just come visit ma and I'll make your fantasizes come true. Boy are guys desperate these days. Oh what did you say?" she asked looking at Peyton.

"Jakes here, downstairs" Haley said. Peyton looked back at the computer screen.

"What for?" Peyton asked annoyed.

"Duh to see you" Haley said.

"Distract him, while I finish talking to this guy" Peyton said. Haley rolled her eyes.

"Peyton, I don't know him. Plus he's here for you, not me" Haley whined.

"So, you talked to Nathan without knowing him, do the same with Jake. I'll be down in 20. Make up something" Peyton said typing. Haley groaned.

"Fine" she said leaving the room.

"Jake, Peyton's busy taking a shower and she just got in, um you want to watch TV while we wait" Haley said joining him on the couch.

"Nah, why don't we talk about you" Jake said.

"Um what to say about me? Well I'm from north Carolina, where I met Peyton. Did you know we been best friends since we were in 3rd grade? She's great I miss her though, that's why I come very summer to see her. Ok how about you?" Haley asked, trying to focused his attention on Peyton. He laughed, knowing what she was doing.

"Haley I get what your trying to do. Bur I'm not interesting in Peyton" he said.

"Why? She's a great girl, you'll really like her" Haley said. He shook his head.

"She is but, were just friends, but you on the other case I'll like to get to know" he said sliding closer to her. AKWARD, she thought, sliding away from him.

"Jake, you seem like a nice guy. But Peyton and you seem more of fit for one another" Haley explained. Peyton walked downstairs.

"Jake you're here. Wait where's Jared (Jared Padalecki)?" Peyton asked.

"Jared?' Haley asked confused.

"Yeah my date" Peyton said.

"Date? What's going on?" Haley raised from the couch looking at them.

"Where double dating like you wanted to" Peyton said sitting next to Haley.

"We, since when did you tell me? And I'm not even dressed" Haley said, pointing to her outfit.

"You look great how you are" Jake complimented her. Haley turned to him.

"Thanks. But wait, there's nothing going on between you guys?" Haley asked.

"No were just friends" they both said.

"Ok, then let me get my purse" Haley said walking up stairs, realizing she had been set up on a not so blind date. When she came downstairs assuming it was Jared, was already there.

"Haley this is Jared, Jared Haley" Peyton said.

"Hi" they both said, leaving the house.

Month Later…

"Oh Peyton I'm back from Jake's" Haley said walking up the stair to Peyton's room. She open the door, immediately closing it.

"Sorry!" she yelled walking downstairs, forgetting she ever saw what she saw. Half an hour later Jared walked downstairs.

"Hales-

"No need see you later" Haley smiled.

"Ok bye" he left embarrassed leaving the house. Seconds later Peyton walked downstairs, sitting.

"Hey, sorry you had to see that" Peyton nervously laughed.

"No its ok. But wow. You…" Haley didn't know how to finish that sentence.

"I know, to fast huh, but Jared is so different than any guy I ever met" Peyton smiled.

"If your happy, I'm happy…So how was it?" Haley asked.

"Great, plus he was sweet and slow with me" Peyton said smiling again.

"That's cool. Just be careful you don't want to be a mom right away do you?" Haley teased. Peyton shook her head.

"Hell no" She said, then they both laughed.

Last Week…

Jake led slowly Haley slowly to his bed. He began lift her shirt, while kissing her.

"Jake stop" she mumbled. He kissed her more passionately, his hand began to go further up her t-shirt.

"Jake!" she pushed him off her.

"Sorry, I didn't mean... Ugh! I can help it ok. I want you" he said kissing her again. Haley back away.

"I'm sorry but I'm not ready... Sorry" she said. He looked aside.

"Jake talk to me" Haley said.

"Haley your leaving in a couple of days. And I wanted this. I also thought you would want this too. But I was wrong. I think we should just end things here right now" he said looking at her. Haley sat there stunned for a moment. He was breaking up with her.

"Your right. Well great knowing you. I have to go" Haley rushed away from the room.

"Haley!" Jake screamed, but Haley ran out, not wanting to talk to him.

A Couple Days Later…

"Here's my number, don't forget to call me" Haley smiled to an attractive guy she met at the movies.

"Don't worry bout it shorty" he smirked. She kissed him in the cheek and left with Peyton.

"Wow Hales, your moving fast" Peyton said, linking arms with her.

"You know Jake was sweet and all but I guess I never got that attached to him for it to hurt. It just sucked that he was the one that broke up with me" Haley said.

"Isn't that nice. So did you really give him your phone number?" Peyton asked as they walked further.

"No, I gave him Jakes'" she smirked. Peyton laughed.

"Damn your mean" Peyton laughed.

At Airport…

"I cant believe the summers gone" Peyton said, looking at Haley. Haley nodded.

"I know. But I have to go back" Haley sadly said.

"I know… well this is good bye then" Peyton said, beginning to tear up along with Haley, when the announcement when on for her flight.

"Yeah, bye buddy. I'm going to miss you" Haley said hugging Peyton.

"I'm going to miss you too" Peyton said hugging Haley still. They spread apart.

"I'll call you when I'm home okay" Haley said. Peyton nodded, wiping her tears. They hugged once again.

"Bye" they said again. Haley gathered her belongings and began to walk. She waved goodbye one last time, as they did the same thing. She smiled to herself, wiping her tears and entered the tunnel to go back home.
