Next Chapter for you guys, sorry not sure when the next update will be, hopefully this weekend. I have like 2 tomorrow so I'll be studying a lot. Then I have a trip on Friday, so maybe Friday night, if you're lucky. Not sure how I can squeeze this chapter in just now, but I can. So here goes.

Italics are Haley's thoughts.


Haley walked on through the school gates, another lonesome day and yes it tore her apart to see Lucas but not talk to him but it was his decision and she knew she was better off. As she happened to turn back around she looked on at the school gates, the fake smile that lay upon her face and was replaced with an unsatisfied look. The gates was were they met everyday before school and she missed it, she missed him:

FLASHBACK

"Hey buddy, was wondering if you want to go to the cinema tonight?" Lucas smiled.

"Hmm…not sure I might get a lot of homework, sorry"

"Oh come on Hales, for me, your best friend." He pleaded with his blue innocent eyes.

"Luke you really do know me so well, God I hate those eyes of yours." I playfully slapped his arm.

"Ouch, Hey don't hit me just because you love me Hales," he said.

"Yeah Lucas I totally love you, come give me a big fat kiss" I replied sarcastic.

END OF FLASHBACK

I just shook my head and a slight sigh came from my mouth, I wouldn't have anymore, good old days with him, no more fun or happiness. As I entered the hall I was knocked over by someone. When I looked up after picking up my books, he just looked right into my eyes. His eyes we icey blue.

"Just watch were you're going next time, loser" Lucas spat out.

I looked at him with a shocked expression and then I felt my eyes fill with tears. It was so hard to believe this monster used to be my best friend, this horrible jerk used to be my saviour, the light in my life. Now look at him, he had now made a complete change, if I didn't know better I'd think he'd had a brain transplant. HaHa I wish. I was still in disbelief of what he had just said.

Had he forgot about me already? Is that how much he liked me that he could forget about me so fast and easily. He just didn't care and I doubt he ever did. Typical boy I guess, only care about themselves. Only if Luke could see his actions and realise what an ass he is being.

Lucas wasn't the just the brother of Nathan Scott who wasn't popular anymore, Lucas was the hot brother of Nathan Scott, the marvellous basketball player and is just amazing. Most boys wanted to be him and most girls wanted to date him. He knew this all too well and took full advantage of it, he went around school believing himself to be the best at everything, the number one basketball player and everyone loved him or it even more. All accept one: Haley James.

It was hard for me to look on and see how much he had changed and to also know the way he used to be. I had to get my head around the fact that we were over and that was it. There was no going back. He'd live his way and I'd live mines.

I ran home from school today, it all became too much by the end of the day, I was nothing and I had no-one to talk to about it. Would I always be myself, it was harder as the days went on to be alone all the time. Some nights I even went home and I spoke to my teddy (Piccalilli.) It's sad really, but there is no-one else to listen.

As I lay on my bed just thinking of how much my life is screwed up, I get up and I sing:

Understand the things I say, don't turn away from me,
'Cause I've spent half my life out there, you wouldn't disagree.
Do you see me? Do you see? Do you like me?
Do you like me standing there? Do you notice?
Do you know? Do you see me? Do you see me?
Does anyone care?

No actually nobody cares Hayley, you don't matter, it's you against the world.

Unhappiness where's when I was young,
And we didn't give a damn,
'Cause we were raised,
To see life as fun and take it if we can.
My mother, my mother,
She hold me, she hold me, when I was out there.
My father, my father,
He liked me, oh, he liked me. Does anyone care?

No actually nobody cares Hayley, you don't matter, it's you against the world. I repest to myself again.

Understand what I've become, it wasn't my desing.
And people ev'rywhere think, something better than I am.
But I miss you, I miss, 'cause I liked it,
'Cause I liked it, when I was out there. Do you know this?
Do you know you did not find me. You did not find.
Does anyone care?

As my song comes to an end I hear my dad shouting on me.

"Haley dear, come down her a minute me and your mom have something to tell you."

"Yes Daddy?"


Well there you go, kind of a filler but next chapter you will find out some goodies.

What does Haley's parents have to tell her?

What does she think?
