Chapter 6: Will you marry me?

It was during the night in the James House and everyone was asleep except for one person. Haley wasn't able to sleep. She just didn't know what to do. She hopped out of bed and went to the window looking out at the moon. She picked up her cell up and dialed a number.

"Hello?" was groggily recieved on the other line by Brooke.

"Tigger." Haley said quietly. "I really need you."

Brooke quickly sat up in bed. "Hales, what's wrong?" She asked.

"I don't know. I don't know if I can go through with this." Haley replied.

"Hey...I know you can. Your one of the the strongest people I know." She told her.

Haley took a deep breath. "But what about Lucas?" She asked.

"Oh Haley. Let me handle this jackass okay. Maybe I can actually knock some sense into the guy." Brooke laughed.

"Only you, Brookie." Haley laughed.

"That's right. When do you have to see him again?" She asked.

"Tomorrow morning. Ugh. We have to go over some wedding plans and we have to look for an apartment." She replied.

"Well how about you let me and Nathan handle the wedding plans and you guys can go look for an apartment. Please...Haley...Please!" Brooke begged.

"Fine, Brooke. But are you sure you aren't doing it because of selfish reasons?" Haley smirks over the phone.

"Yes, I'm doing it because of selfish reasons, Hales. You and I both know Nathan Scott is a total hottie." Brooke told her.

Haley rolled her eyes at her. "Okay. Bye Brooke." She said hanging up. She went to her bed then got under the covers. "I'm marrying Lucas Scott." She said quietly before shutting her eyes and falling asleep.

Lucas was shooting hoops with his door hoop thinking about what had happened during the middle of the day. Everything was just a whole mess. How in the world was he supposed to marry a woman that hated him? He was just going to have to change her mind. He thought as his brother comes into the room.

"So you ready for this?" Nathan asked.

"Ready for what? Ready for me to beat your ass?" Lucas laughed.

"Haha. Like that would ever happen. But no, I mean your marriage with Haley thing." Nathan told him.

"Man, I don't know. Haley and I practically hate each other."

Nathan smirked. "Yeah man, I know. What is that whole hatred thing about anyways? I mean when did this whole thing start up?" He asked.

Lucas smile quickly turned into a frown. "She caught me with Peyton when I was with Brooke." He told Nathan as he though about that night. "What a mistake that was. Let's just say that she didn't take it very well you know."

"Ouch. No wonder, she hates you." Nathan replied. "But you don't hate her do you?" Nathan found himself asking.

"Nah, I don't hate her." He said with a smile. "She's just fun to tease around with.Gotta love that girl you know." Lucas told him.

"Well maybe if you stopped teasing her and actually spent sometime with her. You might find something you like. You never know man." Nathan said as he was about to walk out the door.

"Hey Nathan..." Lucas called.

"Yeah?" Nathan turned around.

"Thank you." Lucas said as he watched his little brother walk out the door and shut it behind him. Lucas walked over to his bed and layed on it. "I'm marrying Haley James." He said as he closed his eyes and went to sleep.

Haley went into Karen's Cafe the next morning and went up to the front counter. "Hey Karen, can I get a cup of black coffee please?" She asked.

Karen turned to the girl that she had known ever since Haley was a little girl. "Sure sweetie. Want me to call Lucas down here for you?" She asked.

She smiled softly as the woman poured her cup of coffee. "That would be great." Haley replied.

Karen went to the back of the care and called for Lucas then went back to Haley. "He'll be down in a sec, Haley." She said as Lucas came down in his polo brown t-shirt and jeans. He started to look at Haley in her dark blue jeans and her black and red layered black blouse.'She's beautiful.' he thought. Why hadn't he seen it before?

"Hey Haley, you ready to get out of here?" He asked her.

"Sure, let's go." She said as they went out the door together. They looked around for an apartment for hours on end when they finally found the one. They eneded up at Haley's doorstep by the end of the night.

"I had a great time tonight." Haley said. "Well, I'll see you in the morning."

"Wait Haley." Lucas called putting his hand on her shoulder. " I have something for you."

"Oh, of course." Haley was shocked at this. Lucas had actually got her something?

Lucas reached into his pocket and pulled out a little black box which revealed a beautiful diamond ring. "I know this is just supposed to be a business relationship but I think we could make this real." He said as he took the ring and took her hand then slipped in onto her finger. "So Haley Elizabeth James, would you do the honor of marrying me?" He asked her.

Haley looked up at him with watery eyes. "But what about Peyton?" She found herself asking.

"Peyton isn't important to me. That night was the last time I saw her. I was so upset with myself for hurting Brooke and most importantly you. I never meant to hurt you." He looked at her with his crystal eyes.

"Lucas... Of Course, I will marry you." She told him.

He in turn smiled and picked her up in his arms then spinned her around. Then set her down on the ground. "That's great." He replied. "I will see you tomorrow at the alter, my princess bride." He kissed her forehead then walked away.
