Okay, I got busy writing that's why it's up so fast. Hopefully this can be good.

Thanks to FormerFlautist who corrected me on my spelling of Haley. THANK YOU!
Im not the best speller so beware.

Italics are Haley's thoughts. Also later at the end bold is song lyrics.

Haley didn't speak to Lucas all weekend, it was kind of strange as they almost every single day of their lives saw each other, but for two whole days they haven't. I suppose yes it bothered Haley, she missed her best friend. She would see him today at school, they always met outside school in the morning so they would make up for lost time.

As Haley stood by the school gates the bell sounded and just at the nick of time Lucas showed up. He had a smile on his face, one that she had missed all weekend.

"So how was your weekend?" I asked.

" Oh you know, the usual just went out with some guys and went to a lame party, not that good. What about yours buddy?"

"Yeah it was okay, I helped my mum clean out a couple of closets and we found some old. . ." she was saying.

"Yeah that's great Hales but can I take a rain check I need to go and see someone. Thanks buddy, see yah" he but in.

Since when was hanging with the team and going to a party, "the usual" weekend? He usually was with me at weekends and since when did he ever just leave me? He was usually always there to listen, I thought he would've been extra nice today since he didn't call all weekend. I suppose I was wrong. Where did he have to go anyway in such a hurry? He was acting strange, maybe he just had to get to class.

"Yeah that's totally the answer Haley, he ran away from you so he could get too class, are you mad?" I questioned myself.

Okay I'm definitely going mad, since when do I talk to myself, maybe everyone's going crazy, I giggle into myself.

At lunch I went to our normal bench, the brown bench under a tree and in the back end of the eating court. I started to bite chunks out of my apple as I wait on Lucas, I was hoping for some answers after all the strange goings on with that boy, he had some explaining to do.

As he walked over he had this weird look on his face, his eyes were stuck upon the ground, he couldn't look me in the eye. He kept biting his top lip and then he said it:

"Do you mind if I go sit with Nathan and the team today?" he asked.

"On you go Lucas, I won't stop you" or should I say I can't stop you.

"Thanks buddy"

"Oh wait, do you want to hang out after school, maybe come over and have a movie night just the two of us?" I pleaded with a smile spread across my face.

"Sorry Hales I need to help Keith tonight."

With that he again just turned and walked away from me. He had to stop doing this, what was happening to him? He just kept blowing me off for "the team" and to be honest it was pissing me off now. I have to sit by myself at lunch and just ponder on what is going to happen. I have a clear image of what will happen: our friendship will break and crumble, he'll be the cool kid and I'll be a nobody as I always have been and probably always will be. But hey there's always tomorrow night, we can make plans for tomorrow. I can understand, he has new friends he wants to spend time with them. Why was I being so stupid, it's Luke, we'll always be friends, nothing and no-one will ever come between us. Friends forever is our motto and I intend to stick by it.

After school in case you're wondering no I didn't go to another one of Luke's practices, I've been once and well that was enough confrontation for me. I actually went home and done my homework. It took me a while but afterwards I decided to go a quick run and perhaps sort some problems out in my head. It help relieve my stress and it kept me nice and fit. I put on my running shoes and a pair of shorts and then I ran. It just soothed me and took it all away. That is until I heard this loud music.

It was 10pm and a school night so I was surprised with how loud it was. As I ran along the street and the music became clear I began singing along:

I'm holding on your rope,
Got me ten feet off the ground
I'm hearing what you say but I just can't make a sound
You tell me that you need me
Then you go and cut me down, but wait
You tell me that you're sorry
Didn't think I'd turn around, and say...

It's too late to apologize, it's too late
I said it's too late to apologize, it's too late

I love this song so much,

As I come to the end of the street I see the party, it was at Brooke Davis's house. There was always a party for her to go to or throw, she was the ultimate party animal. Just as I was about to turn something caught my eye: a blue car, an all too familiar blue car. As I hoped it wasn't, my thoughts were confirmed: out came Lucas Scott and Peyton Sawyer. . . .

I'd take another chance, take a fall
Take a shot for you
And I need you like a heart needs a beat
But it's nothing new
I loved you with a fire red-
Now it's turning blue, and you say...
"Sorry" like the angel heaven let me think was you
But I'm afraid...

It's too late to apologize, it's too late
I said it's too late to apologize, it's too late

Hope you guys enjoyed. I'm not really pleased that much with the story up to here, I know it will get better from here on. Thanks for reading.

What will Lucas say?

What will Haley do?

Will the Motto Stick: Friends Forever?
