"So, I met Luke's brother earlier." I said walking into my other best friend Brooke's room. She was sitting at her mirror getting ready so I could tell she was getting ready to do the same.
"Really? I'm so nervous, what's he like." She said still not facing me.
"He's just Lucas' brother B. Davis. Chill." I said laughing a little as I sat down on her bed. She turned around and glared at me causing me to stop laughing.
"He's not just Lucas' brother Haley. He's my boyfriend's brother. I don't wanna make a bad impression." She said still glaring at me as she got up and walked over to the closet. "So, once again. What's he like?"
"I don't know! We didn't really talk that much. It was all Lucas and him. It was actually pretty awkward." I said laying down remembering the car trip.
"Aww poor Haley" She said laughing as she walked out of her closet. "You like? I'm so freaking nervous, this is like the millionth thing I've tried on. I just want him to like me." She said looking down at her hands.
"Brooke! That's so cute. But you don't have to impress him you know. Wait…where are you going?"
"Umm…Lucas was thinking about showing him around town then ending the night at TRIC…why?"
"Well…me and Peyt were going to TRIC anyways so if you need back ups were there." I said smiling. "And its Friday night, everyone will be there. SO its not like we planned this." I said reading her mind, as she was about to say something.
"I love you Haley James. Do you know how much easier this will be to know that you and Peyton are there? OMG! Thank you." She said pulling me into a hug.
"I know. I'm a god send." I said laughing as she hit me with a pillow.
"Don't push it." She said still laughing as she stood up and walked back over to her mirror. We heard the doorbell downstairs and Brooke sighed then smiled and looked at me.
"Well, here goes nothing."
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Think they're here yet." I yelled to Peyton over the music. She just shook her head and looked at her watch. She felt totally out of the loop that everyone had met Nathan but her. Even some of the people at River court, which was a basketball court, met him. That didn't make her happy. She grabbed my hand and started pulling me through the crowd and towards the bar. I started laughing when she pulled out two fake ids.
"Feeling like Brooke tonight." I said still laughing as she glared at me and downed a shot.
"Come on Hales. You used to do this all the time. You were like Brooke #2." She said laughing, this time I glared at her. I looked at her then the shot glass and drank it.
"Ok, no more until after they get here." I said, as Peyton was about to get more.
"I'm the only one who hasn't met him. In like the whole fucking town!" She yelled and ushered for the bar tender. As he made his way over to us I quickly grabbed Peyton's hand and pulled her over to a couch off to the side.
"You know that's not Lucas' fault. But being drunks not going to help."
"Since when are you the goody, goody?" She yelled glaring at me.
"GIRLIES! We've been looking for you." A voice said behind us, but Peyton and me just kept glaring at each other.
"Whoa, chick fight." Lucas said laughing as he put his arm around my shoulder. I shrugged it off and smiled up at him then over at Peyton.
"You now what…never." I said before walking away.
"Never what?" Brooke said sitting down next to Peyton.
"Nothing." She said sending a smile in Nathan's direction before heading off in the opposite direction of Haley.
"What was that?" Nathan asked as he looked between the couple. They both shrugged and tried to figure out where their friends went.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Your friends are looking for you?" I heard someone say as a body sat next to me. I turned my chair and came face to face with Nathan Scott. I just gave him a small smile and turned back towards the bar.
"You really shouldn't drink so much." He said moving my glass away from me and towards him. I laughed slightly before turning my chair around again to see him finish my drink.
"Who do you think you are?"
"I'm just looking out for you." He said still smiling down at me.
"Thanks but no thanks." I said getting another drink from the bar tender before getting up. I was about to walk away before I felt him grab my arm.
"Well, if you're going to drink," He said ushering towards the bar tender. " Your gonna do it with me. Cheers." He said laughing before drinking some of his. What was up with him? I sat down and just continued to stare at him. He just laughed and looked over at me.
"What?"
"What are you doing? I don't even know you. You don't know me! What's this? We aren't two buddies out having fun drinking beers cause…if you hadn't noticed I'm in the middle of a fight with one of my best friends…. which is why I'm here…"
"STOP!" He said smiling at my rambling causing me to blush. "I know all that. I also know that if I leave right know you will get major drunk. Trust me. Been there done that."
"Same! I'm not a baby Nathan! I don't know what you've been told about me but…UGH! Whatever! I'll see you later. Have a nice night." I said grabbing my drink and walking away before he could say anything.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"BRROOOKEE! I'm haaaving fuun! How about you." I said sitting down next to her and laid my head on her shoulder. It felt like 100 pounds.
"Hey, Haley. Are you drunk." She said looking at me then over at Lucas who was trying not to laugh.
"ME! No way. NEVER!" I said laughing.
"How much have you had to drink Hales?" Lucas asked, still trying not to laugh.
"Umm…I lost track." I said cracking up but stopping suddenly as my favorite song came on.
"Hey guys. Haley. Is she drunk?" Nathan whispered to Lucas as he finally started cracking up and nodded.
"I LOVE THIS SONG! Dance with me." I said pulling Nathan's hand and dragged him to the dance floor.
"Haha. This is a great sight." Lucas said still laughing, as Brooke shook her head worried for her friend.
"Told you, you would get drunk."
"I am not. I'm having fun." I said wrapping my arms around his neck.
Wandering the streets in a world underneath it all
But nothing seems to be
Nothing tastes as sweet as what I can't have
Like you and the way that you're twisting your hair round your finger
Tonight I'm not afraid to tell you
What I feel about you
"Fun? Haha, ok." He said smiling down at me. This height thing was definitely something I liked.
"Fine ok. I had a little too much to drink. But now you get to take me home." I seductively whispered stepping closer to him.
"Oh, really?" I just nodded and smiled as the tempo picked up but we stayed the same.
Oh I'm gonna muster every ounce of confidence I have
And cannonball into the water
I'm gonna muster every ounce of confidence I have
For you I will, for you I will
"They look so cute together." Brooke said putting her head on Lucas' shoulder.
"The sad thing is... Hales won't remember much of this and… she has a boyfriend!" he said looking at his brother and friend then down at his girl friend.
"Well…" She said smiling and sitting up.
"Brooke…. what are you up to." He said not liking the look in his girlfriend's eyes as she looked over at the dancing couple.
Forgive me if I st-stutter
From all of the clutter in my head
Cause I could fall asleep in those eyes
Like a water bed
Do I seem familiar
I've crossed you in hallways a thousand times
No more camouflage
I want to be exposed
And not be afraid to fall
I looked up at him and noticed him looking down at me also. I blushed before looking down again. I was really enjoying myself. This was nothing like being with Josh. Oh God! Josh…what was I doing. I backed away slowly removing my arms from Nathan's neck as he looked at me.
"You ok?"
" I have to go. I cant be here." I said sending him an apologetic smile before running away.
"HALEY!"
Oh I'm gonna muster every ounce of confidence I have
And cannonball into the water
I'm gonna muster every ounce of confidence I have
For you I will
You always want what you can't have
But I've got to try
I'm gonna muster every ounce of confidence I have
For you I will, for you I will, for you I will, for you...
"Your plans not going to work." Lucas said as the scene played out in front of them.
"WHAT HAPPENED!" Brooke screamed at me as I came over. I fell on the couch and started crying. "You looked like you were having fun." She said sitting next to me.
"I WAS! But…I cant." I said whispering the last part as they both looked at me. Then an out of breath Nathan came over.
If I could dim the lights in the mall
And create a mood yea, I would
Shout out your name so it echoes in every room yea
That's what I'd do
That's what I'd do
To get through to you yeah
"What's going on?" He said looking at me.
"I'm sorry." I said wiping my eyes as Brooke put her arm around me.
"I'm sorry too." He said before turning around and walking away.
"Are you really going to let him go?" Brooke said sending me a look. One I really didn't need right now.
"I just wanna go home. I don't feel so good." I said looking over at Lucas with pleading eyes as I wrapped my arms around my stomach.
"Well he's your ride…."
Oh I'm gonna muster every ounce of confidence I have
And cannonball into the water
I'm gonna muster every ounce of confidence I have
For you I will
You always want what you can't have
But I've got to try
I'm gonna muster every ounce of confidence I have
For you I will, for you I will, for you I will, for you I will...
A.N- Sorry it took so long I couldn't think of what to do but I hope this made up for it. R&R the song was For You I Will by Teddy Geiger
