CH 25:
A month had passed, since it was official that Haley and Peyton were no longer friends. Peyton walked over to her computer, turning on her camera. Its been so long since she had used it. She browsed through her files, and clicked on a certain one. Shortly Rachel had popped up.
"Rachel hi, how-
"Look what the cat dragged. If it isn't backstabbing Peyton" Rachel coldly said.
"Yeah, about that" Peyton weakly spoke.
"Peyton what happened to you? Before you left, you were a sweet, caring, great friend! From what Haley told me, long after you moved to Tree Hill, you turned into a bitch. You tried to ruin her life, then you tried to take her boyfriend! What the fuck?" Rachel asked furious. Peyton looked away from her, she began to cry.
"Rachel, you have no idea how much I regret everything I did. If I could I would take everything back. I fucked up so bad…please don't hate me. I don't want to be alone... I need a friend" Peyton sobbed.
"You should of thought of that before you decided to be a two-faced whore" Rachel bitterly said. Peyton continued to look at her.
"Rachel, please" Peyton begged.
"Theresa on the other site" Rachel said, logging off. Peyton, turned of her web cam. She breathed in and out, until the pain went away. Even her California friends hated her. Who was she to turn to?
The couple of days later, Peyton walked into her English class. She hated that class, not because of the class itself, but because she sat next to Haley. Walking toward her seat, Haley rolled her eyes just at the sight of her.
"Hey Haley, congrats on winning the Classics" Peyton said. Haley sighed, not facing her.
"Thanks" she flatly said. Peyton faintly smiled.
"So what college did you get into?" Peyton asked her. Moments later, Haley faced her.
"I'm going to Duke with all my friends" she responded.
"That's great, congrat-
"Is this your way of small talk?" Haley cut her off.
"Haley, I'm trying here" Peyton lightly said.
"Well don't. Your no longer my friend, so stop. Ok?" Haley said, turning away.
"Haley-
"You chose this Peyton, not me" Haley coldly said. Peyton nodded, seating correctly. She was right, she chose the direction their friendship was headed; obviously it was the wrong path.
-----------------------------------------------
Semester two came fast. The year past, and it was already February. The love between Nathan and Haley progressed more. Lucas and Brooke and finally hooked up. With Peyton, it was another story. She had continued to built her collage. Though took small steps. Looking at it to much, made her ill and more guilty. Then with Alyssa, she hasn't showed up, but Peyton was afraid she would pop up any day now.
"Class listen up, I'm going to partner you up. This project will be about knowing one another. This is your senior year, and by the end of this year, you'll will know one another. This project is due at the end of fourth quarter. Now listen up for what you have to do, and who you're partner up with…" he said, reading the list.
"He partner you up with Peyton! Are you serious?" Brooke asked.
"Yeah, I don't know where the hell his head has been at, but if he knew. I was talking to her in the beginning of the year" Haley said, joining Lucas and Nathan for lunch.
"What's going on?" Nathan asked.
"Gregory partner me up with Peyton for a stupid project for the rest of the year" Haley said.
"What? Did you say something?" Lucas asked.
"Yes, but he denied. No changes will be made… ass" she said aggravated.
"It wont be that bad Hales, have you seen Peyton lately? She doesn't seem like the bitchy girl she used to be" Lucas said.
"Still, to much drama between us" Haley said. Nathan squeezed her hand, reassuring her, he was there for her. She smiled at him.
"Dont worry Hales, it be ok. We're all here for you" he said. Haley looked down then back at him.
"I know. Thanks" she said. Nathan leaned towards her, kissing her softly. He then pulled off, swinging his arm over her shoulder, pulling her closer.
--------------------------------
The next day after school, Haley walked to Peyton house. She had agreed to meet there. She looked around the house; so many memories. Exhaling heavily, she rang the doorbell.
"Haley, hey. Come in" Peyton said, letting her in. Ever since the project, it was a miracle in disguise. She was so thrilled that Haley was her partner.
"Do you want anything?" Peyton asked.
"No thanks. I just want to end part one as soon as possible" Haley dully said, as she sat on the sofa. Peyton followed her. Haley grabbed out her packet from her bag.
"Question one: what favorite music does your partner likes" Haley said.
"Damien Rice. Do you still like him?" Peyton asked. Haley looked at her, a little bit surprised she still knew.
"Yeah, and you still like Foo Fighters?" Haley asked. Peyton smiled.
"There my all time favorite. Next one, favorite show…."
An Hour Later…
"Oh come one. I cant believe you're still mad about the Dawson Creek finale. She chose Pacey, get over it" Peyton laughed. Haley crossed her arms.
"The show was based on Joey and Dawson. She was suppose to end with him, not the other guy" Haley said. Peyton continued to laugh. Haley laughed as well, it was the first time her and Peyton were back to normal, it felt right. Looking at her cell, she noticed the time.
"Well, I have to go" Haley said, gathering her belongings.
"Do you have to go?" Peyton asked, hoping she would change her mind.
"Yeah. I promised Brooke, we go shopping after this" Haley said. Peyton flinched at the name of Brooke. She was envois toward her.
"Talk to you at school?" Peyton asked. Haley turned around to look at Peyton, she could tell she was trying.
"It's better if we just talk here. See you next week" Haley answered.
"Haley-
"Bye Peyton" Haley firmly said, leaving the house. Peyton watched her go, thinking at least they had a great time, like before.
----------------------------------
The next following week came rushing in. The next part of the project was to take pictures of their favorite sceneries.
"The record store Goldilocks? Should of known" Haley laughed. Peyton smiled, at hearing her nick name.
"Come on lets go in to take some pictures" Peyton said, walking into the store. Haley chuckled following her inside.
"This is by far my favorite aisle. All great bands from Journey to Radiohead. So take a picture of me here" Peyton said. Haley laughed more, taking a picture of Peyton jumping up and down throughout the aisle. After random pictures, Haley and Peyton left to the next location.
"So where to Hales?" Peyton asked.
"It's Haley. Just call me Haley" Haley said quickly, as they walked into her car. Peyton remained still, not saying a word. Though quickly recuperating, entering the car.
"And voila! The dance studio. My favorite place in the world" Haley said, stepping out of the car. Once they were inside, Haley switched shoes, walking to middle of the dance floor.
"Are we allowed to be here?" Peyton asked, scanning the room, which was completely deserted.
"Oh, my friends dad owns the place. She lets me use it whenever I want to, expect when classes are in session" Haley said, playing music.
"So basically you're just going to be taking pictures of me dance" Haley added, getting in position. Shortly began to perform moves, while Peyton took pictures of her. While she was taking photos, she never knew how talented Haley was. Thinking further, over the past year, she forgot that dancing was a big part in Haley's life.
"Is that enough?" Haley asked, catching her breath. Peyton nodded.
"Yeah. They were good. Hale.. Haley I never knew how great you were in dancing. You're really talented" Peyton completed her. Haley drank from her water bottle, shortly looking at Peyton, not pleasant at all.
"You would of known if you gone to my dance competitions" Haley coldly said, as she exited the room. Peyton frowned, looking at the floor. She was right. An another reason she ditched her to be with Alyssa. She exhaled, exciting the room as well.
Ok, I know all of you were expecting Leyton, but it didnt seem to fit. You know with the way the direction was going... I'm sorry to all Leyton lovers, but on the plus side, there are no scenes of Brucas in the future. I'm serious, like none. Sorry once more!
