Background: This starts with them in their junior year of high school, everything is like when the show began so I'm just changing some things around and basically righting my own story. This is going to be Baley! Hope you enjoy!
Story: And Then Suddenly it Hit Me
And so it shall continue...
Class had finally ended, and as her and Lucas were walking out of class together Brooke came up behind them.
"Hey Haley wait up!" yelled Brooke, "Broody, still looking hott I see."
"What do you want Brooke." said Lucas
Brooke was taken back by the harshness in his voice but quickly recovered.
"Well as you very well know I always throw a beginning of the year party which is usually in the summer, but that was cancelled due to all the rain we had, so we're having it tonight and I wanted to let you guys no that you're invited." said Brooke with a big smile
Haley began laughing thinking it was some sort of a joke until she looked at Brooke's face realizing she had really meant it.
"Brooke, I'm not sure that's such a great idea." began Haley
"Look Haley I know you still feel uncomfortable with everything that happened last year, but everyone has to get over it sooner or later." said Broke, "And besides, if someone says anything to you their have to deal with me."
"Why are you doing this Brooke?" asked Haley
"Cause I missed you Tutor Girl." said Brooke before she turned and walked the other way
"Ok did that really just happen?" asked Lucas as he stood shocked next to Haley
"Yeah, I think it just did." said Haley
"Well it's not like we're not going anyway." said Lucas as he began walking towards his locker
"Why not?"asked Haley as she followed him
"After everything they put us through last year Haley how could you even consider it?" asked a shocked Lucas
"Because they use to be our friends Luke." said Haley
"Exactly Haley, they use to be our friends." said Lucas as he enfasized the "use to"
"Luke..." but she was cut off by him talking again
"They don't care about us Haley, they made that pretty clear last year." said Lucas, "And besides this is probably just another one of Brooke's cruel jokes to get us there so they can tie me up and leave me in the middle of no where again."
"I really think Brooke was being serious, and besides I don't think Nathan would do that again after how your parents grounded him for the whole winter break." said Haley
"Well your right about one thing, Nathan probably won't do anything to me again but that doesn't mean that Peyton doesn't have some sort of revenge planned for you Hales." said Lucas as he put his books in his locker
"I think that spray painting whore on my locker last year was enough Luke." said Haley watching as he shut his locker
"Don't you get it Hales nothing is ever going to be enough for them." said Lucas as he put his arm around shoulders leading her out of the school
"Lucas could you please just do this for me?" begged Haley
"Haley are you still going to do this whether or not I go?" asked Lucas when they reached his car
"Of course." said Haley grinning
"Well then you know I'm in." said Lucas
Later that night...
"Are you sure you want to do this Hales, cause we can still go back and just have a movie night like had planned." asked Lucas
"Yes I'm sure Lucas." said Haley as they got out of the car
"Don't say I didn't warn you." said Lucas as he followed after her
Walking into the party it was just as they had remembered, people drunk off their asses and in almost every corner two people having meaningless make out sessions. As they walked through the house each room brought it's own memories drifting back to them. The next hour had been fun as Haley danced with Jake while Lucas wandered around talking to a some guys and the occasional drunk off her ass girl that would hit on him. Until he came into the picture...
"Well look what we have here." said a very drunk Nathan as he walked towards Haley and Jake
"What do you want Nathan." asked a very annoyed Haley
"That's funny, because I was just going to ask you the same thing." said Nathan, "My brother not good enough for you?" slurred Nathan as he got closer to her
"Nathan get away from me." said Haley as she turned to walk away
"No." yelled Nathan grabbing her arm and turning her around
"Nathan you're hurting me! Let me go!" cried Haley as she tried to break away from his grasp
"Nathan man...just let her go." said Jake trying to get him to back away
"Stay out of this Jagielski!" yelled Nathan as he pushed him over
"Let her go Nathan!" yelled Lucas as walked into the room
"Hey look Haley, it's Lucas!" laughed Nathan, "You know my brother, the guy you were fucking behind my back last year." said Nathan as he let Haley go causing her to fall to the ground, "You remember right Lucas, how you fucked my girlfriend and pretended to be in love with Peyton all at the same time."
"God dammit Nathan! For the millionth time I would never do that to you, said Lucas in frustration, "Haley would never do that to you."
Nathan slowly walked toward Lucas as if he was trying to stare him down.
"You have no idea how lucky you are that you're my brother." said Nathan as he shoved past him and back into the party
Quickly glancing at his brothers retreating form, he rushed over to Haley.
"You ok Hales?" asked Lucas as he watched the tears he had seen so many times in the last year come to her eyes again
"Yeah, yeah I'll be fine." said Haley, "Could you just take me home?" asked Haley as she wiped her tears away
"Oh my god Haley!" cried Brooke as she entered the room
"What do you want Brooke." said Lucas as he helped Haley get off the ground
"I didn't know this would happen." stuttered Brooke as she looked at the tears in Haley's eyes
"What ever Brooke, I just need to get her home." said Lucas leaving Brooke just standing there as he walked Haley out to his car
Later that Night...
Haley layed in her bed holding on tightly to Mr. Waffles as she cried. Just when she had thought that everything could go backto normal it had all shattered. She was about to drift off to sleep when she heard a light tapping at her window, looking up she saw Brooke. Getting upand unlockingit Brooke slowly climbed through the window.
"Haley I'm really sorry." said Brooke as she stood there uncomfortably, "If I had known he would be like that..." but Haley cut her off
"Brooke I don't even know why you're here." said Haley she walked towards her bed, "You're just like the rest of them, you wouldn't talk to me then why even start now."
"Because I know you didn't do it Haley." said Brooke, "And because even if you had that wouldn't change the fact that I just really miss my best friend."
"Please Brooke..." said Haley trying not to let her get to her, she had already cried enough that night
"No, I'm not going to be like them anymore Haley." said Brooke stepping closer to her, "I saw your face today in English when Mrs. Thatcher told us we'd be sitting next to each other for the rest of the year, I saw the fear cross over you and it killed me to know that it had gotten to the point of you being scared of me Haley.", "But when I smiled at you, you smiled back and that's when I realized how long it had been since I'd last seen you smile.", "Haley I just want us to be friends again, I'd do anything to have that back." said Brooke
"I missed you Brooke." said Haley as she hugged her
"I missed you to Haley." said Brooke, "So does this mean we're friends again?" asked Brooke
"Defaintly." laughed Haley as she watched a smile come to her face causing her dimples to show
"Could I stay here tonight?" asked Brooke, "My house is probably trashed and I just really don't want to leave right now." said Brooke
Haley just nodded as she shut her window.
