Baley: Destined to be together Part 1
Chapter 2:
Coming Home
Brooke and Haley were enjoying the time they were spending together and Haley was spooked when her phone went off. She noticed who the call was coming from and she quickly answered thinking it could be bad, since this person was only associated with bad things. It was Taylor James, Haley's sister, Taylor didn't call unless there was a major problem, or she needed something.
"Taylor Madison James, this better be important," Haley grumbled into the phone.
"Yes, Haley hello to you too, it's very important. We need to get everyone together at Tric. I have an announcement." Taylor said very cheerfully.
"Taylor just please tell me already or I'm hanging up." Haley was getting angry that she was wasting valuable time with Brooke.
"Fine, Haley I'm engaged and I'm telling everyone at Tric." Taylor was happy and then she just hung up.
Haley listened to her sister and was pleasantly surprised that Taylor wasn't' in trouble. She called to inform Haley to get the group together so she could announce her engagement to six- year boyfriend, Chase Adams.
Now that they knew, they had to go home, Haley tried to call Peyton to come get her, but she figured she was with Lucas and she didn't want her to have to make the two hour drive again, just to pick her up.
"Hey Brooke, I just got a call and need to go home, since I rode with Peyton and she's already gone can we take your car and not have to wait?" Haley was nervous to ask this and because she knew, Brooke wouldn't want to leave.
"Plus your car has more room then the cramped comet." She quickly added trying to sweet talk Brooke into going home with her.
"Sure, Haley I was planning on going back to Tree Hill anyways so just give me a few minutes to pack a bag." Brooke smiled.
Haley laughed knowing that when Brooke Davis said one bag it usually meant three or four. Brooke could hear Haley's laugh from her living area and was surprised that it sounded even better than in high school. Haley was completely shocked when she saw Brooke re-enter the room carrying only one bag.
"So why are we being called back to the mysterious location of Tric?" Brooke asked once she and Haley were sitting in her car.
"Oh, just Taylor's finally settling down with this guy she's been dating for about six years named Chase Adams." Haley said smiling at Brooke. "And she wants me, you, Peyton, and Quinn to be her bridesmaids." Haley said this knowing once Brooke got in the room with Taylor to talk about the wedding; Taylor would be powerless to let Brooke design all the dresses for the wedding. Hell if Brooke could work her magic, she would most likely end up making the guy's tuxedos and planning the whole thing. Brooke was great at planning things, but when she got under too much stress, everyone involved with her, seemed to go down in defeat around her.
Brooke was excited for Taylor, but sad that once she got back to Tree Hill she was going to have to try to hide her feelings once again. The only person from the past that she told her true feelings to was Lucas, and he wasn't much help, since he was her ex-boyfriend. She thought he was going to give her all this great advice, but he ended up making it worse. They decided to end the relationship after she confided in him stating that if she was having feelings for someone else, they weren't really in a position to have or keep a great relationship going.
"Brooke, don't freak out. Haley won't flip out on you if you tell her calmly." Lucas wanted to add the calmly part because he knew Brooke's temper and the way Haley could get.
Brooke didn't have the guts to tell Haley just yet, but she hoped this trip would help her and she would finally get her dream girl. Brooke noticed Haley coming back and decided to pretend she was on the phone with a business client, in an attempt to calm the blushing shade that was creeping up and settling on her face.
About an hour later, they stopped at a little gas station to refill the tank and grab snacks for the rest of the trip. Haley was in charge of getting the snacks and went in search of Brooke's favorite red vines. She quickly found them and picked up a box of the treat, a box of lemonheads for herself, and a bag of lay's baked barbecue chips for the girls to share. When she arrived back at the car, she saw Brooke on the phone and caught the last part of the conversation. Haley figured it was the same person she was talking to before they left UNC. Haley didn't want to argue or ease drop on the conversation, so she went back in the store to get drinks for them knowing Brooke would thank her later.
She returned to the car and handed Brooke her water and snacks. She had to quickly look down to hide the blush on her checks when the brunette touched her hand. Haley hadn't realized it before, but she knew for sure now she was falling hard for her best friend and when she got home, she was going to spend as much time with her as possible and maybe she could find out where this was headed. She knew where she wanted it to go but she wasn't sure about what was going on with Brooke.
