A/N: Oh my goodness, I know that I was spoiling you with my other story, An Untitled Project, by putting up all these posts but I am really getting into this story. Don't worry, I'll continue with my other story, I'm having writers block on this one and I am in love with this AU story. So I'll keep these updates coming as long as you review. Pretty please with a cherry on top?

Disclaimer: I do not own One Tree Hill but I am a firm believer that Mouth and Brooke are the perfect couple.

Haley laid on her back, facing the ceiling, her guitar was in her hand. She was trying to fight back the tears but they just wouldn't stop. She strummed on her guitar and sang a song she was working on.

I never promised you a ray of light
I never promised there'd be sunshine every day
I'll give you everything I have
The good, the bad

Why do you put me on a pedestal?
I'm so up high that I can't see the ground below
So help me down you've got it wrong
I don't belong there

One thing is clear
I wear a halo
I wear a halo when you look at me
But standing from here
You wouldn't say so
You wouldn't say so if you were me
And I, I just want to love you
Oh I, I just want to love you

I always said that I would make mistakes
I'm only human and that's my saving grace
I'll fall as hard as I try
So don't be blinded
See me as I really am
I have flaws and sometimes I even sin
So pull me from that pedestal
I don't belong there

One thing is clear
I wear a halo
I wear a halo when you look at me
But standing from here
You wouldn't say so
You wouldn't say so if you were me
And I, I just want to love you
Oh I, I just want to love you

Like to think that you know me
But in your eyes
I am something above me
That's only in your mind Only in your mind

I wear a, I wear a, I wear a Halo

One thing is clear
I wear a halo
I wear a halo when you look at me
But standing from here
You wouldn't say so
You wouldn't say so if you were me
And I, I just want to love you
Oh I, I just want to love you

Haley didn't know that Brooke was standing there.

"Hays, that was amazing." Haley looked up and noticed her best friend standing in her doorway.

"Hey Tigger." Haley put the guitar in the corner and Brooke came over and sat on her bed.

"I stopped by to tell you about the party this weekend. It was going to be at my house but since my parent's finally decided to show their asses in town, they decided they were going to have a dinner party and I was wondering if maybe I could have the party here." Brooke put on her best puppy dog face. "Please, with cherries on top."

"I don't know B, you'd have to ask Peyton."

"I already asked her, she said it was cool with her if it was cool with you."

"Okay, sure. But you have to plan it."

Brooke jumped up and hugged her best friend. "Goodie." Brooke was just about to leave when she turned back around. "A couple things."

"What?" Haley asked. She sat on her bed and looked at Brooke, scared she asked.

"One, good job today with Rach - hoe. She totally had that coming."

Haley blushed. She did feel proud of how she handled Rachel . "What is your other comment?"

"Actually it's a question." Brooke ran over and grabbed Haley's guitar. "Will you sing at the party on Friday?"

"B, I don't know."

"Come on Hays, please. It'll mean a lot to me." Brooke put the same puppy dog face.

"Okay, but only like 5 songs okay?"

"Good enough." she hugged her friend one more time and then ran out the door to make the arrangements, almost bumping into Nathan in the process.

"NRS, what are you doing here?"

"What?"

"Oh, never mind. Answer the question."

"I need to talk to her."

"I don't think she wants to talk to you. But hey, it's your funeral."

Nathan let out a small smile and came upon Haley's open door but stopped when he heard her angelic voice fill the house.

I love time and in between
the calm inside me
in this space where I can breatheI believe there is a distance I have wandered
to touch upon the years
reaching out and reaching in
Holding out and holding in

I believe this is heaven
to no one else but me
and ill defend it
long as I can be
left here to linger in silence
if I chose to
would you try to
understand

oh the quiet child
awaits the day when she can break free
the mold that clings like desperation
oh mother don't you see I've got
to live my life the way I feel is right for me
you say its not right for you
buts its right for me

I believe this is heaven
to no one else but me
and ill defend it
long as I can be
left here to linger in silence
if I chose to
would you try to
understand

Nathan couldn't breathe as he listened to her sing. It was so angelic that it made him think twice about telling her off. Yeah, he shouldn't have led her on when he had a girlfriend but that still gave her no right to be a total bitch. Just as he was about to leave he heard a soft voice behind him.

"Nathan?"

A/N: I know, short chapter, next one is longer. I just needed a filler while I plan the party chapters. Yes the party is so big I need about two or three chapters, that's a good thing. I also didn't put this in the disclaimer. I do not own the songs above. They are Halo and Elsewhere written by Bethany Joy Galeotti.
