"Haley you look beautiful" Nathan said, as he entered her house. Prom had arrived. She had wore her pink and black dress. She smiled, leaning up to kiss him.
"And you look handsome" she smiled, backing away from the kiss. He took her hand, and guided her outside with the rest.
"Hales, you look amazing" Lucas said, once she entered the limo.
"So do you. Brooke, you look gorgeous" Haley said.
"So do you" Brooke cheered.
"I'm so excited. I cant wait to be stress free with my man, and dance all night" Haley said.
"Hell yes. But first we have to take pictures" Brooke said. Haley nodded, fixing her corsage.
"After what are we doing?" Nathan asked.
"Eating" both Haley and Brooke said. They all laughed.
"Did you girls eat?" Lucas asked.
"Um, not exactly. Well you know how long it takes us to get ready" Brooke said.
"That we didn't get time to eat, but don't worry. After Denney's, for sure" Haley said.
"Ok, whatever you say" Nathan chuckled.
With Peyton…
Fixing her hair, Peyton was done. Even though she said she wouldn't go anymore. She dressed up, and was now ready to leave. She was dateless, but she didn't care. Felix was not her type. She rather go alone than with him. Grabbing her purse, she looked once more at herself, and headed out of her house.
On the other side of her street, was someone watching her. And she was determined to stick by her side all night. Call her a stalker, she didn't care. Peyton was to be with hers and only hers.
-----------------------------------
An hour or so later, the party was booming. Everyone was having fun, or what it seemed. Haley could Peyton gaze on her all night. She was irritated that she was just sitting there and looking at her. What the fuck? Is she trying to get my attention? Or wanting me to talk to her? Ugh, leave me the hell alone, she thought, as she danced with Nathan.
What the hell am I doing? I been just basically staring at her the last hour. I should be dancing, having fun; forgetting her… why does it seen that I'm the only one fighting for this stupid friendship? She had clearly forgetting me, so why shouldn't I? Ugh, why did I come? Peyton thought.
She locked eyes with Haley once last time, and shook her eyes in disappointment, shortly leaving the dance room. Haley stopped dancing, feeling more irritated than before.
"What's wrong?" Nathan asked her. She looked up at him.
"I don't know, it's just Peyton. She keeps looking at me, and now she just shook her head as if she's disappointed in me! No, this has to stop. I'll be right back" Haley said.
"Haley are you sure?" Nathan asked.
"I'm sorry. I promise I wont take long, go talk to the guys. Relax" she said, leaning up for a quick kiss, then followed Peyton outside.
"Sawyer! What the hell is wrong with you?" Haley shouted. Peyton stopped walking but didn't turn around. She casually crossed her arms.
"Oh, no. Here she comes, I hope she doesn't scream at me" Peyton sarcastically said. Haley cached up to her, facing her.
"Why did you just do that?" Haley asked. Peyton looked at Haley indifferent.
"Do what?" she asked. Now Haley crossed her arms.
"Shake your head at me like your disappointed at me?" Haley asked.
"Well I am" Peyton said. Haley turned more red at the irritation.
"What is your problem? You have no right to do that…. I should be the one doing that to you" Haley pouted. Peyton rolled her eyes, continuing to walk once more.
"I didn't come to hear your bullshit. I don't need another of your reasons of why you hate me, when clearly you shouldn't" Peyton coldly said. Haley more annoyed, followed her.
"I don't have reasons, I have facts. Facts about you that state you're pathetic" Haley bitterly said. Peyton turned around, pissed off.
"You know, I came to maybe talk to you once more. Convince you that it was my crazy aunt that tried to brainwash you to believe that I tried to kill you. Haley that hurt. I, I would never do that! I thought that by coming I would show, that beside all the drama that's happening between us, you can open your eyes, and let that aside and be my best friend again. Haley I see you as a sister. I love you as one. Like I said many times, I'm sorry that I screwed up. I am, I am! I Would do whatever to have my best friend back. Though now, you're the one that opened my eyes. You're right: our friendship is over, and nothing can ever change it. Have a nice life Haley" Peyton said in tears, as she turned around and walked her way to her car.
Haley remained still. She was speechless. What was she to do? There was to much friction between her and Peyton, that it would take a while for them to have each others trust. She shook her head, looking down. Ugh! I hope I don't regret this later. I hope, she thought.
"Peyton! Stop" Haley shouted. Peyton stopped in the middle of the road. Haley walked toward her, playing with her hands.
"It's…it's ok. It's alright Peyton. I believe you" Haley softly said. Peyton quickly turned around, wiping her tears, she didn't speak, she simply listened. Haley walked closer.
"I know, we have to much drama between us. But lets put that aside, and start clean. Fresh. Just like you, I want our friendship to work. I tried to forget, I tried, so hard. But all those years, they couldn't be erased. I cant forget you Peyton. Yes, I am hurt, but I don't want you out of my life, but I also don't want you hurting me either" Haley said, as she tried not cry as well. Peyton looked at Haley in disbelief. She wiped more tears away.
"Do you think we can just go back like we use to be?" Peyton asked.
"No" Haley said. Peyton looked down.
"I think we can be much more stronger, and better than that" Haley said. Peyton looked at her, smiling brightly. Not more than half a second later, she launched at Haley, hugging her.
"I missed you so much" Peyton joyfully said.
"Just promise, no more secrets" Haley said, relieved that she made the right choice.
"Of course" Peyton said, still hugging her.
"Isn't this cute? I thought I separated you girls, guess manipulation wasn't enough" Alyssa said walking toward them, holding a pistol. Immediately both Haley and Peyton released one another frightened for their lives.
"This will have to do then, and this time permanently" Alyssa said, aiming the gun at them.
"Wait Alyssa, don't do this. There's no reason why-
"If you scream, I'll shout you right now, so shut that mouth" Alyssa said to Haley. Haley closed her moth more terrified than ever. From all places for a prom to be held, it had to be at the most secluded place, and they were in the parking lot, the actual auditorium was yards away. Stepping back, both Haley and Peyton held hands.
"Please don't harm us" Haley begged.
"Aww, I wont do anything to Peyton, but you. I cant guaranteed… you by the way are hard to get rid of. First trying to manipulate Peyton to hate you, didn't work. The 'accident' which you didn't die in, then trying to make you hate Peyton more. What will take you to stay the hell away?" Alyssa asked angrily. Haley looked at her in shock.
"You…you tired to kill me? It was you? What have I ever done to you?" Haley asked mortified.
"Made my daughter turn against me" Alyssa said bitterly.
"I'm not your daughter! I'm not, get that through your thick skull!" Peyton yelled. Haley stared amazed, crazy Alyssa was crazy, literally. She seriously thought she was Peyton's mother. Everything made sense now.
"I am! Get that through your thick skull. But no matter. After some time with me, you'll get it 100. All in a matter of time" Alyssa said.
"No, no! You'll never be my mom. No matter what you say, or what you'll do. My mom is dead, and thanks to you. And her name was Ellie Sawyer, not Alyssa Lee" Peyton sobbed. Haley tightened her grip on Peyton's hand, more amazed; she didn't know that Alyssa had killed Ellie. This women was truly mentally corrupted by a disease to become Ellie Sawyer.
"Enough of this bullshit, Peyton stepped aside, it's time to correct this problem once and for all" Alyssa said aiming the gun at Haley. Haley began to cry fro her life, as she looked at the determined, evil eyes of Alyssa. Peyton didn't move, she remained still holding onto Haley's hand.
"Peyton I said move. Now! Don't make me regret something later" Alyssa threatened. Force to move away, it hurt her entire soul as she released Haley's hand. Though what hurt the most was to the horrified look of death in Haley's eyes.
"I'm sorry" Peyton muttered, as she released her last grip.
"Peyton" Haley whispered. Looking away, Peyton walked further to Alyssa. Haley sobbed louder, hugging herself. She didn't dare to look up, other than at the floor. Alyssa smirked, pressing on the gun, setting it.
"And now, die bitch" Alyssa said.
The shot was fired.
Haley remained still, she didn't feel anything. Did she miss? Slowly looking up, shock ran over her like a wave. Peyton had been the one shot. Peyton intervened, to save her.
"Peyton!" Haley yelled, running toward her. She kneeled to the ground to see where Peyton had been shot. Alyssa had shot her in the stomach. Blood was spreading fast.
"Look what you did!" Haley shouted at Alyssa. Alyssa in shock, slowly stepped back.
"I didn't mean to. It was for you. Meant for you! I have to leave" Alyssa panicked, dropping the gun at the floor, soon rushing to her car, and speeding away.
Ripping her bottom of her dress, Haley wrapped the cloth around Peyton stomach.
"Peyton, please don't die. Please don't… I need you" Haley sobbed, searching through Peyton bag for a phone. Peyton didn't stir, her heart rate was decreasing.
"Hello, I need an ambulance. My friend had just been shot. Hurry she's dying. I'm at the Retina Auditorium. Please hurry" Haley said. Then she dialed Nathan number. Shortly Nathan, Brooke and Lucas ran outside.
"What happened?" Nathan asked.
"It's Peyton, her psycho aunt tried to kill me, and Peyton stepped in and took the shot for me. Nathan, she's dying. Help me" Haley sobbed further.
"Did you call 911?" Lucas asked.
"Yes, there on their way" Haley sniffed, while applying pressure to Peyton stomach. At this time her whole mid section of her white dress was covered in blood.
"Don't worry Peyton, they'll come. They'll come…" Haley kept saying back and forth, as she kept applying pressure to make the blood decrease. Brooke looked at Lucas worried, while Nathan stood by Haley's side, reassuring her, Peyton would be ok.
-------------------------------------
Alyssa drove mad, out of the parking lot on to the road. She was still in shock for what she had done.
"Stupid girl! How could she done that! And for someone she said she hated! If she just listened to me, she would have been fine, she would have been here with me. That Haley girl could have been dead now! Ugh! Stupid girl!" Alyssa shouted. Speeding further, ignoring the red light.
Big mistake.
Once being inside the cross road, out of the blue, a truck came rushing in, sweeping Alyssa car crashing onto a building. She died on impact.
