Chapter 4- Meet my Girlfriend
Haley awoke the next morning with a smile on her face, she wondered if she would be waking up like this every morning. She stretched and let out a huge yawn.
"Whoa, did boy-toy keep you up late last night?" Brooke asked with a smirk as she waltzed into Haley's room and sat down.
Haley rolled her eyes and looked at her best friend, "How did you get in Brooke?" she asked as she ran her hand through her hair.
"The usual way I always get in, the spare key duh." Brooke said as she rolled her eyes.
"I think we need to move that spare key." Haley said as Brooke playfully punched her.
"Whatever, you're going to school today right?" Brooke asked.
"Yeah, Nathan's coming to pick me up so I should start getting ready." Haley said as she threw her hair up in a messy bun and walked towards her closet.
"Oh, so boy-toy wants to show off his new girlfriend huh?" Brooke asked as Haley blushed.
"Yeah, do you think I should be worried, I mean how will everyone going to react, especially our exes?" Haley asked as she groaned.
"Honey, the only thing that matters is how you two feel about each other and as long as you two fight for what you have and not let anything get in the way, you will be fine." Brooke reassured her friend as she hugged her.
"Now get in the shower and I'll pick you something out to wear." Brooke said as Haley nodded and headed into her bathroom.
Brooke really hoped that everything went well for Haley and Nathan today, they deserved to be happy. She walked over to Haley's walk in closet and decided on an outfit for Haley to wear to school. She finally found the perfect outfit for Haley. It was a gray cardigan over a white button up blouse, with a black denim skirt, and fringe boots. She placed the outfit on the bed and sat down in the chair.
"Brooke what did you pick out for me, is it too revealing?" Haley asked as she walked out of the bathroom and into her room.
"Don't worry it's not bad." Brooke said.
"If you say so." Haley said as she grabbed her underwear and clothes and went back into the bathroom to get dressed.
"Hurry up tutor-girl so I can do your hair and makeup." Brooke yelled.
"I'm already doing my hair and makeup." Haley said as she poked her head out of the bathroom door.
"Ok, well hurry up, I'm hungry." Brooke said.
"Well help yourself to some cereal." Haley said as she continued getting ready.
"I don't want cereal, I want your famous pancakes." Brooke said as she pouted.
Haley poked her head out again and couldn't help but laugh at the pout on her best friends face.
"Brooke I would but I want to be ready when Nathan arrives, I'll make them for you another time." Haley said.
"Fine, but remember I will remind you about your promise." Brooke said.
Haley laughed, "I'm sure you will." She said as she looked herself over in the mirror and then exited her bathroom.
"I did a fabulous job with the outfit tutor-girl. What do you think?" Brooke asked excitedly.
"I love it and it's not too revealing." Haley said as she spun around to show off her outfit.
Brooke was about to respond but she was cutoff by the doorbell ringing.
"I'll get it." Brooke said as she jumped up and ran out of Haley's room and down the stairs.
"Brooke you don't even live here, how could you be opening the door?" Haley yelled as she laughed.
Haley grabbed her school bag and took one last look at herself then headed downstairs to save her boyfriend from her best friend.
"You so owe me Nathan Scott." Brooke said as she poked Nathan in the chest.
"Good morning to you too Brooke." Nathan said as he laughed at her.
"What did I do?" Nathan asked as Brooke let him in.
"Haley won't make me her famous pancakes, because she wanted to be ready for when you came." Brooke said as she pouted and knocked Nathan in the shoulder.
"Ow, Brooke what the hell?" Nathan asked as he rubbed his shoulder.
"Brooke stop abusing my boyfriend." Haley said as she came down the stairs and walked towards Nathan.
"Thank you and hi." Nathan said as he wrapped his arms around Haley's waist and leaned down to kiss her.
They broke apart a while later when Brooke cleared her throat, and the need for air was increasing.
"Ok, we should get going." Haley said as she blushed and hid into Nathan's shirt.
"I'll see you two lovebirds at school, oh and don't be late." Brooke said as she laughed and walked out of the house closing the door behind her.
"Oh my god, that girls is embarrassing." Haley said as she blushed and snuggled more into Nathan. "Mmmm, you smell good."
Nathan laughs "Well thank you, I always try to smell good." He said as he continued laughing and Haley playfully punched him in the chest.
"Come on lets get to school." Haley said as she went to grab her bag but Nathan beat her to it.
"I can carry that you know its not heavy." Haley said.
"I know but I want to carry my girlfriends bag." Nathan said.
"Ok fine, oh can we stop for some breakfast on the way to school?" Haley asked.
Nathan nodded and grabbed her hand as they walked out of her house and headed to his car, he opened the door for her and she got in, then he ran around to the drivers side and got in, putting her bag in the back.
They pulled out and headed to school, on the way they stopped to Wendy's and got some breakfast. After they ate they got into the car and headed to school. As they got closer to the school Haley began to get nervous, she began wringing her hands and biting her bottom lip. Nathan looked over at her and noticed that she was nervous; he grabbed her hand and intertwined their fingers.
"What's wrong?" Nathan asked as he lifted their hands and kissed the back of her hand.
"I'm nervous, what if your friends don't like me, what are people going to say about us, are we going to be accepted? What if people don't think we could work?" Haley asked as she rambled.
"Hales, you're rambling and everybody else doesn't matter its about you and me and how we feel about each other, not about what other people have to say, forget them they are all jealous if they have anything negative to say okay." Nathan said as he leaned over and gave Haley a kiss, then focused back on the road.
"Okay." Haley said as they pulled into the school yard.
Nathan shut off the car and looked over at Haley who was still biting her bottom lip.
"Hales, stop, you're going to make your lip bleed." Nathan said as he rubbed her back soothingly.
"I can't do this Nathan, I'm sorry I thought I could but I cant." Haley said as the tears began to fall and sobs racked her body.
"Hales, I will be with you and when I'm not Brooke will be with you, so you won't be alone." Nathan said as he held Haley.
Nathan decided that he needed help when Haley still wouldn't stop crying. He kissed the top of her head and got out of the car and went in search of Brooke. he finally found her talking with the other cheerleaders, he knew he was not supposed to disturb her any other time, but this was important and he really needed her help.
"Hey Nathan." Peyton said as she was the first one to notice him.
Brooke turned and looked at him and noticed that he was alone.
"Um, isn't there supposed to be another body next to you?" Brooke asked.
"Yeah I know that's why I'm here she's crying and she wont come out cause she's afraid, I need your help." Nathan said.
"OK, girls that's it I got to go, so I will finish this at practice this afternoon so be on time." Brooke said as she grabbed her bag.
"Hey Nathan can we talk?" Rachel asked as she came up to him.
"We have nothing to talk about Rachel." Nathan said.
"Hey B. Davis aren't we going to class?" Peyton asked.
"Yeah, I'll meet you in class, I just have to take care of something." Brooke said as she walked over to Nathan and they took off towards his car.
"What do you think is up?" Peyton asked.
"I don't know, but I'm about to find out." Rachel said as she grabbed her bag and followed behind Nathan and Brooke, Peyton grabbed her stuff and followed behind them too.
"Ok what did you do or say to reassure her?" Brooke asked Nathan.
"I just reassured her that it was about me and her and not what everyone else has to say about us, and that she has us." Nathan said as they stopped at his car.
"I'll see what I can do, stay out here." Brooke said as she got into Nathan's car and closed the door, locking it behind her; she put up the sun shade so that no one could see inside.
"Why is Brooke going into Nathan's car?" Peyton asked as she came to stand next to Rachel.
"That's what I would like to know." Rachel said.
"Hey little brother what's up?" Lucas asked as he walked up to Nathan.
"Nothing." Nathan said.
"Why is Brooke in your car and where is this new girlfriend of yours?" Lucas asked.
"In the car, that's why Brooke went into the car. She's afraid of what people especially my friends would have to say about the relationship." Nathan said as he sighed.
"Well I'm here for you and I will support your relationship, she seems like a genuine girl." Lucas said.
"What's going on tutor-girl, why aren't you coming out of the car and showing these other girls that you've snagged Nathan Scott?" Brooke asked.
"I'm not like other girls who care about letting people see who the latest guy on my arm is." Haley said as she realized what she just said.
"Exactly, so you shouldn't care what people have to say about your relationship with Nathan, because at the end of the day the only opinions that matter is yours and Nathan's, so forget everyone else and hold your head high. You're going to have some people who support you and some who don't, that's high school and that's life." Brooke said.
"Thanks Brooke." Haley said as she wiped her face.
"That's my girl and you're welcome. Now fix your face and let's get inside before school starts." Brooke said as Haley laughed.
"Is the Brooke Davis excited about school?" Haley asked as she continued laughing.
"Ha, ha, I know how much you love school and we don't want you becoming a rebel." Brooke said as Haley rolled her eyes.
"Whatever." Haley said as she finished fixing her makeup and made sure her hair was ok.
"So, can I tell boy toy he can come and get his girl? He was really worried about you." Brooke said as she took down the shade.
Haley smiled "Yeah, he can come get me," She said.
Brooke unlocked the door and got out of the car, closing the door behind her.
"Hey Luke." Brooke said.
"She's all yours and she's ready to come out of the car." Brooke said as she linked arms with Lucas.
Nathan walked to the car and opened the back door he grabbed their bags and walked around and opened Haley's door to help her out.
"Who is that coming out of his car?" Rachel asked.
"What are you guys looking at?" Tim asked as he stood next to Rachel.
"Nathan is helping someone out of his car, we are trying to figure out who it is." Peyton said.
Nathan looked at Haley making sure that she was ok.
"Are you sure you're going to be ok? I mean we can just skip today." Nathan said sincerely as he caressed her cheek.
"I'll be fine." Haley said as she smiled up at him and kissed his cheek.
Nathan nodded and closed the door, he locked it and grabbed Haley's hand and they made their way over to Brooke and Lucas.
Rachel was fuming, Peyton was shocked and Tim, well Tim was Tim.
"You're dating Haley James?" Lucas asked in awe and shock.
"Hey Luke." Haley said shyly.
"Hey Hales." Lucas said.
"You two know each other?" Nathan asked confused.
"Yeah, this is my best friend." Lucas said.
"Oh, well this is my girlfriend, Haley and Haley this is my brother Lucas." Nathan said.
"If you hurt her Nathan, I swear to you I will hurt you got it." Lucas said.
"I know, Brooke already threatened me too." Nathan said.
They all headed inside to their lockers to get their books for their first lesson.
"What does Nate see in her? Oh well I'll find out later." Tim said as he turned and headed into the school.
"Nathan can't be serious; he is not with someone like her." Rachel said angrily as she walked into the school building.
"What is going on?" Peyton asked no one in particular as she went to her first class.
Nathan knew that if his friends didn't approve of Haley then they obviously didn't have his best interest at heart. He had a feeling that Rachel might try something he would have to talk to Brooke about that. He just hoped that the day would go well for Haley.
