Hello everyone! I am so happy to say that chapter eight is finally here! I hope everyone enjoys this chapter! Read and Review! :-)

Well, it has been exactly two weeks since I woke up in Nathan Scott's bed. Exactly two weeks since I realized I was falling in love with him...

"No, you can't make me!" I yell, tears streaming down my face.

"I don't care! Do whatever you want, but I am not coming home!"

"No! Please don't!" I plead, fat teardrops still rolling down my face.

"Fine, I will. Just don't do anything!" I say before hanging up the phone and chucking it across my room.

How does my life go from complete heaven to total hell in the matter of ten minutes?

I hear the front door open and I know it is Brooke and Peyton back from the mall, so I try to stop the tears and make myself look like I haven't been crying for the past 15 minutes.

"Haley! Come down here, you have to see what I got!" yelled Brooke from downstairs.

When I don't come down right away, I hear Peyton say...

"Don't be scared Haley, she only has 11 bags this time."

I get the tears to stop and I wipe away the smudged masacara around my puff red eyes. I get up and hesitantly walk down the stairs to where Peyton and Brooke are waiting.

When I walk into the kitchen where they both are, they turn to look at me and come rushing over. Brooke elopes me in a bear hug and Peyton rubs my back. They know something is wrong without me even saying anything. This can be a good thing and a bad thing.

"Honey, what happened?" questions a concerned Brooke.

"Who's ass am I kicking?" asks Peyton jokingly.

I give them a small smile.

"I'm fine, really. I decided to watch The Notebook and the ending made me cry, thats all." I lied hoping they would believe me.

"Oh, the end makes me cry too." Brooke says.

I sigh a sigh of relief.

Two hours, eleven bags, and fourteen outfits later, I have seen everything Brooke got while at the mall.

"Tigger, I love all these outfits but why did you get so many?" I question Brooke.

"Well, Broody has decided to take me out to dinner tonight and I wanted to have as many options as possible. Besides, you and P. Sawyer are coming too." she states matter of factly.

"What?" Peyton and I say in unison.

"I thought it would be fun if we all got out and had some fun. We haven't really done that yet."

"Does Lucas know that he will be stuck with us three girls all night?" asks Peyton.

"Oh yeah, he knows. Nathan is coming too."

I feel my stomach start fluttering and a big chessy grin spreads across my face when I hear Nathans name. The last two weeks have been absolutely amazing. We have gotten to know everything about each other while having fun at the same time. I have spent more time with Nathan then I have with Brooke and Peyton since we've got here.

"That's great. Brooke will have her boy-toy, Haley will have her buddy, and I will have...surprise...no one!"

I frown slightly when I hear Nathan refereed to as my buddy, but that is what everyone thinks. Nathan is my buddy. Everyone except me.

"Don't worry P. Sawyer, you will be pleasantly surprised." Brooke states with an evil grin.

"Oh no. Brooke you did not set me up on a blind date did you?" begs Peyton, but Brooke refuses to talk anymore about it.

"Ok girls. Get ready to be beautified." she exclaims.

Oh boy. Here we go.

Three hours later, we are all dolled up and ready to paint the town.

Peyton looks fierce in faded skinny jeans with a gold baby doll top and gold flatts. Her goldilock curls are straightened and she is rocking the smokey eye effect.

Brooke looks fabulous, of course, in a short purple halter dress with silver pumps. Her normally straight hair is crimped and her makeup is done dark but subtle.

I, of course, was dressed with the help of Peyton and Brooke. I look pretty good. I am wearing a white summer dress that works really well with my skin tone. I have on while heels that aren't too high. My hair is straight, with a few waves, and my makeup is done natural of course. We all look pretty smokin' in my opinion.

We all hear the door bell and squeal with excitment. Brooke goes running downstairs and I hear Lucas tell her how beautiful she looks. Peyton is still standing in front of the mirror and looking like she is about to cry.

"Hey buddy, you okay?" I ask her concerned.

"Yeah, it's just...Jake's supposed to be down there, ya know?" she says with pure sadness.

"Hey. Jake loves you, and I know you love him. He just had to go away for a little bit, be with Jenny."

"I know. God, I am being so selfish."

"Well, he's going to come back. Don't let this ruin your night. Let's go have some fun and try not to throw up when Lucas and Brooke get all lovey dovey." I say trying to cheer her up.

She laughs and gives me and smile and a hug.

"Your right, lets go."

We both walk arm-in-arm down the stairs and Nathan and I lock eyes. We both smile and he mouths you look beautiful, to me. However, my attention is torn away from Nathan when I see a figure walk through the front door. Jake. Peyton's Jake.

I feel Peyton tear away from me and I see her fling herself into Jake's arms. I smile and I know that this is a sign of hope. At least for Peyton and Jake.

Twenty minutes later, we are all situated around a table at a nearby restaruant. Jake and Peyton drove separately so they would have some time to catch up and talk, and right now, they couldn't keep there hands off each other. Neither could Brooke and Lucas. It is actually kind of funny because me and Nathan are just sitting there akwardly as our friends make out with each other in pubic.

As soon as we finished, Brooke wanted to drive to the beach to watch the sunset. We all agreed except Jake and Peyton who wanted some private time with each other. So, they drove back to the house while Brooke, Lucas, Nathan, and myself drove to the beach. Once we got out, Lucas and Brooke and Nathan and I, went our separate ways.

"So, this Jake guy seems cool." Nathan said as we walked along the beach.

"Yeah, he's great, especially for Peyton. She deserves a good guy in her life." I reply back.

"So do you." he says while taking my hands and looking me straight in the eyes.

Before I can say anything at all, Nathan starts talking...

"If you don't love Felix you shouldn't have to marry him. Can't you just say no and walk away?"

"I wish I could, but I don't think I can." I say sadly.

"Come away with me. Leave Felix and be with me." he begs.

"Nathan I can't. It isn't that easy."

"Yeah it is. I love you Haley." he says.

I can tell he isn't lying when I look into his eyes. My heart starts breaking and I start to cry.

"I'm sorry Nathan, I don't love you and I can't be with you. I can't." I lie, not looking at him.

I hear him start to cry and that makes me cry harder and my heart breaks even more.

"Nathan, Haley! We are leaving now!" Lucas yells from the car.

We both wipe away our tears and when I look up at Nathan, anger shines in his eyes. We both start heading towards the car staying as far away from each other as possible.

On the way back to the house me and Nathan are completely silent. This doesn't go unnoticed by Brooke and she soon breaks the silence.

"What is up with you two? You haven't said a single word since we got into the car."

We both remain silent and this makes Brooke mad.

"Fine, don't anwser. We'll just play the radio game to see what you two are thinking about. Nathan, it is your turn first."

Brooke turns on the radio and switches channels until she finally stops on one. Booming through the speakers to my horror is...

We belong together
Like the open seas and shores
Wedded by the planet force
We've all been spoken for

The hammer may strike, be dead on the ground.
A net to my hand, a cross on his crown.
We're done if, who we're undone,
Finished if who we are incomplete.
As one we are everything,
We are everything we need.

We belong together
Like the open seas and shores
Wedded by the planet force
We've all been spoken for

What good is a life, with no one to share,
The light of the moon, the honor of a swear.
We can try to live the way in which you speak,
Taste the milk of your mother earth's love,
Spread the word of consciencness you see,
We are everything we need

We belong together
Like the open seas and shores
Wedded by the planet force
We've all been spoken for

All this indecision
All this independent strength still
We've got our hearts on safe
We've got our hearts on safe

Someday when you're lonley,
Sometime after all this bliss,
Somewhere lost in emptiness,
I hope you find this gift...
I hope you find this gift...
I hope you find this gift.

After hearing this song, I burst into tears and Nathan reaches over the turn the radio off.

As soon as we pull in, I jump out of the car and lock myself in my room. A couple minutes later I hear Brooke knock on the door. Remembering how I promised her I would never shut her out again, I open the door. She hugs me while I cry and doesn't let go.

"What happened with you and Nathan at the beach?"

This is the question I was dreading. But, I know that I have to tell her. So I do. I tell her everything from how me and Nathan met, to the night at his beach house, to falling in love with him, to telling him I don't love him. I also tell her about the phone call I got from Felix earlier that morning...

FLASHBACK

I am laying on the couch reading the lastest copy of Cosmo Girl, when my cell phone starts to ring. I lean over to grab it and I tense up when I see Felix's name on caller ID.

"Hello?" I say uneasy.

"So you aren't dead." Felix says bitterly.

"What do you want Felix?" I bite back.

"You. Your coming home tomorrow."

"No, you can't make me!" I yell, tears streaming down my face.

"Oh yes I can. If you don't come back to Tree Hill I will come get you myself!"

"I don't care! Do whatever you want, but I am not coming home!"

"I will do whatever I want to get whatever I want. Even if that means killing off your family one by one." Felix says angrily.

"No! Please don't!" I plead, fat teardrops still rolling down my face.

"Then come home tomorrow and your poor pathetic family will live, unfortunatly."

"Fine, I will. Just don't do anything!" I say before hanging up the phone and chucking it across my room.

END OF FLASHBACK

"Felix is such a dick!" yelled Brooke after I got done telling her what happened.

I laugh and shake my head. Tears still falling.

"Well, in my opinion tutor girl, I think you should leave Felix and be with Nathan. You will only end up lame and lonely if you don't."

I laugh when Brooke says I will end up lame and lonely if I stay with Felix because it reminds me of when Nathan and I first met.

"I don't know Brooke. I really don't know."

She gives me a small smile and pulls me into another big huge. After awhile of hugging, talking, and thinking, Brooke asks...

"What are you going to do?"

I hesitate for a few seconds and say...

"I'm going to get married..."

There is chapter eight and I know it isn't as good as some expected but the story will get better.
