This whole Chapter is a FLASHBACK.
SCOTT HOUSE/Night/2004
Haley is in Nathan's Bathroom while he is laying on his bed talking to her.
"So explain to me again how you know someone I don't know" he questioned to her leaning back on the bed.
Haley walked out from the bathroom in her pajamas "Okay, do you remember that summer when we both went away for camp" she questioned putting her clothes in a drawer Nathan kept empty for her when she came over.
Nathan groaned
Haley turned "What I thought you loved Basketball camp"
"I did" he answered "But that was the worst summer of my life"
"Why?" she questioned thinking she forgot something important.
He sat up and stated as it was the simplest thing "Because I was away from you for 2 months."
Haley smiled and crawled on the bed placing her head on his shoulder "Awww, Nate, I love you" and smiled
"I know" he smirked
She gently hit him on the shoulder before continuing "So anyway I got roomed with Peyton at camp and we became friends and now"
Nathan interrupted "Now she's coming to visit for a week"
"Yep" she smiled
"So tell me about this girl" he leaned against the back board of the bed taking Haley in his arms like he always did.
Haley snuggled into his embrace laying her had on his chest listening to his breathing. "Well, she has this whole moody thing going on, like Lucas use to, ummm she's really good at art. She loves music, she's really nice, and pretty."
Nathan smiled and replied "Of course not as pretty as you" he joked
"Of course" she laughed
"So I am gonna meet you guys at your house tomorrow around 5" he questioned looking down at her.
"Yep" she replied distractedly
Nathan's face wrinkled in confusion "What's wrong" he questioned
"Nothing" she put on a smile and looked him in the eyes
"Your lying to me" he sighed
"What!" he acted like she had no idea what he was talking about "No I am not"
"YES YOU ARE!" he shouted Haley backed away his face softened "Sorry" he grabbed her hand "I just hate when you lie to me when something's wrong, Hales"
"I know" she said quietly squeezing his hand "I am just nervous about Peyton coming"
Nathan could tell she wasn't telling the whole truth "Okay" he responded not wanting to push it to far. "Why don't we go to sleep" he kissed her forehead
"Okay" she smiled getting under the covers with him laying her head in his chest listening to his breathing slow. "Hey, Nate" she spoke up
He mumbled
She laughed "I love you"
He whispered barley awake "I love you too"
She smiled and laid listening to the clock tick on the wall "Nate?" she questioned
No Response
"You were right I lied" she sighed "I wasn't nervous about Peyton" she waited for a response when she got nothing she continued "I was nervous because of me, I mean my feelings for you" she took a breath "I think I am falling for you and I am not stopping anytime soon and I am scared" she closed her eyes and buried her head into his chest breathing in the mix fabric softener and body wash.
"I love how you smell" she giggled but all she got in response was a snore telling her Nathan was definitely asleep. She closed her eyes and drifted to sleep.

The Next Morning
Haley woke up suddenly from a scream
"He shoots he Scores" Nathan yelled
Haley sat up in the bed and yawned causing Lucas to turn around from the Playstation game "Hey, Haley" he smiled at her
Nathan turned to and grinned "Hey, Hales, sleep okay?"
Haley rubbed her eyes and smiled "Yep" she answered before turning to Lucas "Hey, Luke, How's Brooke?"
"She's good" he answered "You know her she gets some sniffles and thinks the world is ending"
Haley laughed before turning back to Nathan "What time is it?"
"Its 8 something, What time is Peyton coming?" he asked
"Around 1"she replied getting up out of bed reveling her pajama a pair of really short pair cotton shorts and a old shirt that was tight around her chest and short." I'm gonna go take a shower" she skipped out.
Nathan turned back to the game but Lucas paused it and spoke up "Whoa, Haley looked hot"
Nathan hit him "Dude, Shut up"
"I mean I love Haley like a sister" he put his hands up in defense "But I know at night when she gets into you bed like that you have some dirty thoughts"
"MAN, SHUT THE HELL UP" he threw the controller "I am not disagreeing with you but don't talk about he like that"
"Wait" Lucas interrupted "Are you into Haley"
"WHAT!" Nathan yelled and began stuttering "NO, I mean umm yes wait no" he sighed "I don't know"
Lucas's face softened "Maybe you should talk to her"
"Lets just play the game" Nathan changed the subject
Haley rushed in the room in her towel "Nate there's a spider in the bathroom can you get rid of it" she cried
"Sure" he laughed
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
JAMES HOUSE/12:50
Haley was in the guest room fixing it up for Peyton when the door bell rang
Haley ran down the stairs and opened the door to face Peyton Sawyer blond curls and all.
"O My God," Haley hugged her "Peyton you look awesome"
Peyton hugged her back "Same to you Haley James" she laughed
Haley took her bags "Come on ,Blondie, let me show you your room"
Peyton followed her upstairs to the guest room "Can I take a shower before we catch up" she asked sitting on the bed.
"Yep the bathrooms across the hall towels are in the closet and everything you need should be in there" she smiled "I 'll just be in my room"
------------------------------------------------------------
Haley was sitting on the bed with her guitar playing a song not even noticing Peyton watching
I
know we've been friends forever
But now I think I'm feeling
something totally new
And after all this time I opened up my
eyes
Now I see you were always with me
Could it be you &
I
Never imagined
Could it be suddenly I'm fallin' for you
Could
it be you were right here beside me and I never knew
Could it be
that it's true
It's you and it's you
It's kinda funny you
were always near
But who would ever thought we'd end up here
And
everytime I needed you, you've been there for me
Now it's clear
I've been waiting for you
Could it be you & I
Never
imagined
Could it be suddenly I'm fallin' for you
Could it be
you were right here beside me and I never knew
Could it be that
it's true
It's you and it's you
'Cause
today is the start of the rest of our lives
I can see it in your
eyes
And it's real, and it's true
It's just me and you
Could
it be that it's you
Could it be you & I
Never
imagined
Could it be suddenly I'm fallin' for you
Could it be
you were right here beside me and I never knew
Could it be that
it's true
It's you and it's you
Could
it be that it's true
It's you and it's you
Haley closed her eyes and sang loudly let her emotions flow through the song
Peyton began to clap
"Holy Shit" Haley jumped "Peyton you scared me"
Peyton began laughing "So tell me about this guy"
"What guy?" Haley asked "I have no idea what your talking about"
Then Peyton saw the picture on Haley's shelve it was a picture of Haley and Nathan he was behind her his arms wrapped around her shoulders her arms holding his they were looking into each others eyes. If the frame didn't say BEST FRIENDS she would have thought they were dating.
"Is this him" she asked holding up the frame "He's cute"
Haley took the frame away and looked at it "That's' Nathan my best friend nothing more" she put emphasis on best friend.
"Right" Peyton laughed "How long have you been into him?"
Haley set the picture down "It seems like forever" she sighed quietly
"So when do I get to meet this "just friend" Nathan" Peyton asked using finger quotes for just friend.
"He is gonna come over tonight around five" Haley turned to Peyton when her phone went off
I've
got a funny little feeling
my arms are shaking like a lightning
rod, yeah
I'll cannonball right through the ceiling
and sink
my teeth in 'till the feelings gone, yeah
"Hello" Haley answered "Hey, Karen" "Are you sure?" "Okay"
"What's up" Peyton asked
"Sorry, but I gotta go to work" Haley answered picking up her jacket "Umm, make your self at home , call if you need anything, okay?"
"Okay" Peyton replied watch Haley run out the door
"What to do now" Peyton asked herself she opened the fridge and saw 2 boxes of beer "I can think of something"
Peyton was doing a shot with some vodka she found in the freezer when the door bell rang she look up at the clock noticing it was 5:07 she jogged to the door.
Peyton opened the door "Hey" she smiled "You must be Nathan"
"Ummm, Yea" he looked around "Is Haley here"
"Nope,she had to go to work" she shook her head "Wanna come in"
"Sure" he put his coat on the chair beside the door "You must me Peyton"
"The one and only" she smiled she lead him into the living room holding up a beer "Want a drink"
Nathan shrugged and took it "Thanks"
"No problem" she smirked
----------------------------------------------
The Café was packed and Haley was tired she got of work in another hour. She looked up at the clock noticing it was 6:30 she figured she call Nathan to come get her after work since she took the bus there.
Haley hit number 1 on her speed dial calling Nathan. The phone just rang. "Where is he?" she thought out loud.
------------------------------------------
Meanwhile JAMES HOUSE
Peyton laughed hysterically at Nathan. He was trying to open a beer but was to drunk to get it open. Suddenly his phone began ringing
Everywhere
she goes, she goes there knowing...
I just wanna be with
her
Everywhere she goes, she goes there knowing...
I just wanna
be...
I just wanna be with her
"That's your ring tone" Peyton laughed
"Haley set it for her number" he told her reaching for his phone on the table
Peyton grabbed his arm "Leave it" she told him
"I should get it " he looked at her "She might need me"
"She's a big girl" Peyton rubbed his arm "I need you now"
Nathan smirked "Lets go upstairs" he suggested
"Okay" she smiled
Both of them ignoring the ringing phone.
Everywhere
she goes, she goes there knowing...
I just wanna be with
her
Everywhere she goes, she goes there knowing...
I just wanna
be...
I just wanna be with her
Across the cell phone screen flashed HALES (Ur Baby Girl)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Haley had taken the bus home and was walking up her drive way when she realized Nathan's car parked behind Peyton's. She opened the door and saw beer bottles on the living room coffee table and Nathan's jacket on the chair next to the door.
"Nate" she shouted through out the house "Peyton"
She began walking upstairs she noticed the quest room was closed so she knocked on it gently
"Peyton" when she got no response she opened the door there in the bed laid Nathan Scott and Peyton Sawyer two people she trusted. One of them she was in love or falling in love with the other one knew she was in love.
She took a big breath "O GOD"
Nathan began waking up and saw Haley in the door way "Haley" he said
But she turned away and ran down the steps
"O Shit" he quickly but on his clothes not fully putting on he shoes.
"Haley" he shouted with that Peyton woke up
Peyton looked around and closed her eyes "Damn" she sighed watching Nathan chase Haley she began getting dressed.
--------------------------------------------
Haley was running down the drive way Nathan running behind her
"Haley, Stop!" he yelled "Please Stop"
"HALEY" he grabbed her arm turning her to face him no tears ran down her face but he could tell she was broken inside.
"LET GO OF ME" she yelled ripping her arm away and walking away
"Hales Pleas listen to me" he reached for her but she turned to him
She pulled a pink plastic bracelet from her wrist throwing it at him "Here take your stupid bracelet back" she yelled watching it hit the concrete.
Nathan picked it up and began following her again he grabbed her arm again turning her to face him.
"LET GO OF ME" she yelled trying to pull her arm away but he held tighter.
"Haley…" he started
"LET GO" she cried
"NO, JUST LISTEN" he yelled
Haley used her other hand to slap him across the face "I SAID LET GO" she yelled then realizing she slapped him she pulled her hand back." O God" she cried.
Nathan stood there in shock "Ouch" was all he could say.
"Just Go" she whispered
"Haley" he tried desperately "I'm Sorry"
"I SAID LEAVE" she pushed him into his car "NOW"
"Okay" he replied watching her walk away he got in his car and drove away.
--------------------------
Haley walked inside to be faced with Peyton
"Haley" she whispered "I'm Sorry…We were Drunk"
"Don't" Haley said closing her eyes "I'd like for you to go"
"Come on don't be like that" Peyton said "It's not like you two were dating"
Haley slapped her hard across the face "YOU BITCH! GET THE HELL OUT OF MY HOUSE, GET OUT OF MY TOWN,OUT OF MY LIFE"
Peyton grabbed her face where she was slapped .
"YOU KNOW THE SAD THING IS I TRUSTED YOU! I THOUGHT WE WERE FRIENDS" Haley yelled
"WE ARE" Peyton cried
"NO! I AM NOT FRIENDS WITH A BITCH" Haley yelled "NOW GET OUT"
Peyton got her stuff to leave and before she left she turned to Haley "I am sorry"
Haley looked at her "I know you should be" she sighed "But sorry doesn't fix everything"
Peyton nodded "Bye Haley"
Haley felt tears fill her eyes "Bye"
Peyton then walked out the door and out of her life forever.
-------------------------------------
Haley walked into her room looking around she walked over to her shelve picked up the picture frame of her and Nathan. Suddenly she threw it against her wall and the glass shattered everywhere.
She felt her knees get weak and she fell to the floor letting reality wash over her she began crying she wrapped her arms around her knees and shook in the corner the sound of her cries echoing through the lonely house she could only cry harder. And for the first in her life Haley James knew nothing was gonna be the same or okay.
