Chapter Two
Haley was smiling on the inside, but the expression on her face was anything but pleasant.
Brooke searched Haley's eyes but her eyes remained neutral. "Haley what's wrong?"
Haley closed her eyes to fight back the tears that were now welling up in her eyes, she quickly pulled her hand out of Brooke's grasp.
"Haley" Brooke said.
"Brook no" Haley yelled, her voice cracking as a tear silently ran down her cheel. Haley propped herself up and started to walk away.
"What did I do to upset you?" Brooke asked.
"I can't believe you'd even ask me that"
Brooke looked the other direction to avoid Haley's gaze. There was silence between them until Haley spoke up.
"You only considered me a friend when it was convenient for you, Brooke. If that's you're definition of a friend then you're not who I thought you were"
Brooke quickly got up and grabbed on to Haley's wrist, causing her to stop and bit down on her lip not wanting to turn around.
"You're the only person I have left" Brooke said sweetly.
"No you're wrong you don't have me. We were never friends"
"But if you didn't care about me then you wouldn't have stayed" Brooke said innocently.
"First of all I don't care about you, and second I only stayed because..." Haley paused and crossed her arms.
Haley's surreal day dream
Brooke looked up and Haley curiously waiting for her to finish the sentence. "You can't even deny it. I know I treated you badly and I'm sorry"
"Well you're not forgiven" Haley could feel warmth behind her already flushed cheeks. "I only stayed because I couldn't stand being away from you"
Brooke shook her head confused at what exactly was going on. Did Haley just say she couldn't stand being away from me? Okay now, I know I must dreaming. "But I thought you hated me"
"I do, but at the same time I also like you"
Haley shook her head lightly to rid herself of the idea of confessing her feelings instead she grimaced. "I only stayed because you looked needy"
"Haley I'm so sorry. I never meant to hurt you, please stay I need you" Brooke said softly, tears running down her own cheeks.
"Brooke, I'm sorry I can't be there for you the way you want me to be. We live in two different world's. A friend is someone that'll always have your back in the good times and bad times where were you when I needed you"
