Chapter 24
Make out & Married.
---
Haley had time to really think things over, and the more she thought about it the more she realized that she did have feelings for Lucas. Maybe it was time to move on...and start something new.
Haley again walked down the hallway and knocked on Lucas's bedroom door.
"Come in," Lucas called.
Haley walked in, "Lucas....I am sorry...I know we promised to act like nothing has changed since we talked...but I know I have been acting weird,"
"It's okay! I understand!" He told her. He smiled at her. His perfect smile.
"I feel the same way," She told him. Coming closer to him, now sitting closer to him on the bed.
"You do...?" He asked, "You're sure?"
Haley reached in and kissed him. It didn't feel at all weird. Not only was it her first kiss since Nathan, but this was her best friend.
They broke away for a minute and both smiled at each other, and continued on with it.

"Happy two months of husband," Brooke said to Nathan when he woke up. She was in the living room watching tv.
He went in and kissed her, "You too, wife,"
"Morning breath," Brooke smiled, pulling away.
Nathan went and kissed her more, "Oh yeah?"
"Gross!" Brooke said.
They laughed as Nathan got on top of her on the couch.
"I was thinking we should go over to Lucas's today," Brooke told Nathan.
"Oh yeah? What for?"
"We have kept the secret long enough....I think it's time to just tell him and Haley, and get it over with. It's not that big of a deal...we shouldn't have even kept it as long as we did."
"Right. We shouldn't have, but it just seems weird. Everyone must think I am crazy, but I don't care. I'm just crazy in love with you,"
"Cute." Brooke said, "So...go take a shower, I am going to go get dressed, and we'll go over."
"Okay. See you in a few."
--
"So what does this mean...that we should go on a date or something?" Lucas asked.
Haley smiled, "Yeah. I guess so. I mean this to too weird. We never made like plans in advance...we always just showed up at each other's house...now we're supposed to pick a time and a place...."
"Well tonight, I will take you out for dinner, but for now, I don't see why we have to leave the bedroom," He said.
Haley smiled, and they went make to making out. In the back of their heads, they both had to think of how Nathan would feel about this.
--
Brooke and Nathan arrived at Lucas's house. They went to the front door, but no one heard them, so they decided to go around the side, to the door that lead to Lucas's bedroom. Nathan went ahead and opened it. They were shocked when they opened the door to find Lucas and Haley kissing.
"What the hell--"Nathan said.
"Oh...wow..." Brooke said. "Uh...we're just going to go outside."
"I am going to go talk to him..." Haley told Lucas, breaking away.
"Okay..."
--
Haley stepped outside, "Brooke...do you mind if I talk to Nathan for a sec?"
Brooke shook her head, "No. I will just go inside and tease Lucas,"
"Haley...you and Lucas? How long?" Nathan asked her.
"Just now...like an hour before you showed up. He told me back in January...and I wasn't ready then, for anything. Lucas and I really are great for each other. I never realized it before...but we know each other like the back of our hand...we obviously have the chemistry I never realized....I'm sorry. I don't really feel like I need to apologize. You left me Nathan...you have been happy...where I have been miserable for months, and I finally feel good--"
"Haley. I am not mad. Just a little shocked, I mean the two brother thing, it's sort of gross, but I can get over it. You and Luke were close before I even came into your life...if you hadn't met me, then you two probably would have ended up together. You deserve to be happy."
"Thanks. So what were you doing here anyway, without knocking?"
"Brooke and I needed to tell you two something,"
--
"So you and tutor girl...who knew that girl had it in her! Sleeping with both Scott boys...oh wait. I did that. Opps." Brooke smiled.
"Haley and I are not sleeping together....I have had feelings for her for a while. She had just come to tell me she felt the same. We were kissing when you guys came walking in..."
"Ouch...yeah, sorry about that. I really will learn to knock."
"What are you two doing here anyway?"
"I think that we should wait to Nathan for that one,"
--
Haley and Nathan headed back into Lucas's room and sat down. Brooke and Lucas also came over.
"What's going on?" Haley asked.
"Well...I know that no one has talked much about it, but Nathan and I did lose a baby together," Brooke shared, trying not to make herself cry, "When I found out I was pregnant, Nathan had asked me to marry him---"
Haley looked at both of them, "Okay...we knew that you were engaged. We saw the ring,"
"Right. After I lost it, Nathan got me the ring. We decided we still wanted to be together. We got married on New Years Eve. "
Lucas and Haley both looked each other.
"Why didn't you say anything?" Lucas asked.
"I don't know man...I guess we should have, "Nathan had no explanation.
Haley got off the bed and went and hugged both of them, Lucas followed her and did the same.
"Congratulations," Haley told him.
Nathan was surprised by the way everything had gone. Haley and Lucas were together...and she was okay with him and Brooke being married? He was glad, but shocked that she was all ready over him. He knew it was horrible to feel bad that she was over him, but he sort of did.
Brooke and Nathan both left and said they would them soon. Nathan turned around as he left and looked at Haley. It was hard to believe it was really over.

A/N: Short. Kind of boring. I am not very proud of the last few chapters. I have about three more chapters left. I am thinking I am doing to end up doing a part 2 of this story. I am going to be working on some other stuff before that though.
