Chapter 3: The Arrangement

Haley walked into her room slamming the door behind her. How could that stupid Lucas Scott get to her like this? He just knew every way to get under her skin very deep. The bad thing was she was going to be stuck with him forever. Their parents were best friends and they had always tried to have Haley and Lucas friends. But they never did, there was something between Lucas and Haley that would never let them.

She walked over to her stereo and turned it up and then had to turn it back down as she heard a knock on her door. "Come in." Haley called when Brooke walked through the door. Brooke gave her a slight smile then wrapped her in a hug. "Brooke, why does he have to keep torturing me like this? It's not like I ever did anything to hurt him." Haley told her feeling the tears run down her face.

"Hey...Hey...these tears aren't worth it. He's definitely not worth it." Brooke said wiping Haley's tears. "I don't know sweetie. It seems like you and Lucas have hated each other for as long as I can remember. It's just the way it is. I just wish it would stop for your sake. I hate it when I see him tear you apart like this." She said strokely Haley's hair.

"I know, Tigger. I just there was a way I could fix it but I can't. I'm just going to have to get use to it. I don't know." She said wiping her tears. "Hey...how about we go down and raid the fridgerator for some ice cream. I bet there is Mint Chocolate Chip in there. Your favortite." Teased Brooke. Haley gently smiled at her and took Brookes hand. "Let's go." She said smiling and running down the stairs with Brooke.

Nathan and Lucas were now at the Rivercourt shooting some hoops but nothing seemed to break the silence between them. "Lucas...what was that about tonight?" Nathan finally asked Lucas. "What do you mean, man?" Lucas said taking a drink of his water bottle. "With Haley. You intentally hurt her tonight. Do you really hate her that much?"Nathan asked.

"Right to serious stuff right, Little Brother." Lucas smirked. "Yeah, I hate that girl. I don't know what it is. It is just greatest feeling in the world when I get under her skin." He told Nathan and Nathan frowned. What was his older brother getting into? "Lucas, just don't do anything that your going to regret okay. Espcially with Haley, she's really a nice girl once you get to know her. Can't you at least give her the benefit of the doubt?"

"Sorry, no can do little brother. That's just between me and Haley. I think we will forever hate each other you know. But I can try to lean back a little on the torture, Nate." He smiled.

"Jimmy, I think I have a solution." Jimmy heard Dan say. Jimmy looked at his frend carefully, what did he have in mind now? "Really? Okay let's hear it." Jimmy said sitting up in his chair.

"I think we should have Haley and Lucas get married." Jimmy nearly jumped right out of his seat. "What?!" Jimmy said in shock. "Just hear me out Jimmy." Dan smiled. "Haley and Lucas get married, an arranged marriage. Lucas will be able to take care of here while you and Lydia get back on your feet again. And when you are back on your feet, Haley and Lucas can get an annullment at any time afterwards unless they fall in love." Dan smiled at him.

Jimmy thought about it for awhile. Lucas and Haley married? Could that actually work? "Do you really think that Haley and Lucas will actually agree to it?" Jimmy asked his friend. "Well they will if they know what's good for them. If they don't, I guess we just have to force them into it you know. You have to do what's best for your family, Jimmy." Said Dan.

"So how about it Jimmy? Do you agree?" Dan asked him standing up. Jimmy looked at his best friend and then stood up and shook Dan's hand. "We have a deal." Jimmy told him with a smile.

So what do you think? Please Review!
