Let's get on to the chapter...

CHAPTER 24

"I got it!" Lucas yelled as he ran to the door.

He opened it to reveal a little kid holding a box of chocolates.

"Hi mister, my school is having a fundraiser and..."

"You've gotta be kidding me!" Lucas yelled out in frustration.

The boy was startled and wide eyed.

Lucas looked down at the scared boy and sighed. "Hales!"

"What?" Haley asked as she walked out of the living room and walked up to the door.

"This kid is selling stuff," Lucas said.

"Oh," she said and looked at the boy. "Jesus Luke what did you do to the poor boy, he's shaking."

"Nothing," he said annoyed. "Just buy something."

Haley bent down in front of the boy and smiled. "What do you have?"

They boy smiled shyly at her and opened the box.

Haley inspected the contents of the box and smiled.

"I'll take 10," she said.

"Wow really?!" the boy said happily. "Most people usually buy one or two."

He took out the ten chocolates and handed them to her and Haley handed him a ten dollar bill.

"Thank you miss," the boy said with a smile then he looked over at Lucas and stuck his tongue out.

Lucas scowled in response and stepped forward to the boy.

"Go in the house Lucas," Haley instructed.

"But-"

"Go in the house," Haley repeated firmly.

"Fine," he huffed and he was gone.

Haley looked back to the boy.

"Don't mind Lucas," she said. "He just hasn't had his medication today."

The boy smiled. "Well, thank you for buying the chocolates."

"No problem," she smiled back.

She watched as he walked away, and smiled even wider when she saw Peyton's car pulling up the drive way.
