Nathan woke up first the next morning. As he looked down at Haley in his arms he couldn't remember the last time he was that happy. As he watched her sleep her realized they never talked about what they were exactly. He wondered if she would regret the things she said last night. Nathan wasn't the kind of guy to like just one girl he was always sleeping around but he knew with Haley he wanted it to be different. He knew she wasn't that type of girl either. Nathan needed time to think. He carefully detangled himself from Haley and went to the basketball court that's where he did all his thinking.
About an hour later Haley woke up. As she reached across the bed with her eyes closed looking for Nathan but all she felt was emptyness on the other side of the bed. She sat up confused. She started worrying that he regretted it, they had btoh been drinking last night. Haley's thoughts were interrupted when the bedroom door opened and Brooke walked in.
"Hey Hales." Brooke said sitting on her bed. "How are you feeling?"
"Uh like there's an elephant sitting on my head." Haley mumbled rubbing her head. "I can't believe I drank that much." Brooke nodded.
"Is there a reason Tim's curled up in a ball on porch?" Brooke asked grinning. Haley laughed as she proceeded to tell Brooke the story of them moving Tim last night. Brooke laughed along with her.
"That's great!"Brooke said laughing. Haley's laughter soon died down and she looked sad. "Are you okay?" Brooke asked concerned. She could tell there was something more wrong with Haley than just a hangover.
"Uh..my night went from shitty..to amazing..to now I don't know what the hell to think." Haley said flopping back onto her bed.
"Whoa okay...tell me what happened." Brooke said wanting details. Haley glanced over at her before sitting up.
"Promise not to tell anyone?" Haley asked already knowing she could trust her. Brooke nodded and shut the door so no one would hear.
"I promise." Brooke said as Haley took a deep breath.
"Felix kissed me…"Before she could finish Brooke cut her off.
"WHAT?!" She yelled. Haley quickly shushed her.
"Brooke! You need to let me explain the whole story don't interrupt.."Brooke nodded "Okay well first he told me that he wanted to be with me and months ago he messed up." Brooke's eyes widened. She knew all about what happened between Felix and Haley months ago."Then he kissed me…I did NOT kiss him back…I pushed him away! I told him he what we had was months ago and I couldn't do that to Rachel! I tried to apologize for hurting him but he didn't want to hear it he looked so upset. He got mad then I did. I said some stuff to him..I told him I moved on and had feelings for someone else." Haley finished looking down.
"Oh man this is big!" Brooke said not knowing exactly what to say anymore then something dawned on her-"Wait who do you like?!"
"Nathan.." She mumbled causing Brooke to jump up and down squealing.
"I KNEW IT!" She yelled excitedly.
Haley just ignored her and continued "And that leads me to my other problem. The couch was uncomfortable so I let him come and sleep in here. He asked me who I drank for at Theresa's I never thing and I didn't know whether or not to tell him. Then he said he overheard my conversation with Felix and saw the kiss. I told him about it a little. Then I admitted I drank about him." Brooke squealed again. "We kissed a couple of times and I thought it was good but when I woke up this morning he was gone I don't know if last night meant anything to him.." She said with tears now brimming in her eyes
"Aww Hales I'm sure it's nothing maybe he just had to go..talk to him.." Brooke said trying to comfort her friend.
"I'm just worried because he hooks up with a lot of girls." Haley explained.
"If he can't see how great you are he's not worth it. I suggest you talk to him though." Brooke said.
"Thanks." Haley said with a small smile.
"What are friends for! Now get you ass out of bed we are going on the boat!" Brooke added with a laugh. Haley laughed and climbed out of bed.
It was now about ten o'clock at night and everyone was down at the campground arcade playing pool, except Nathan. Haley hadn't seen him all day. He had told his sister and his cousin that he was going to play basketball hours ago. Haley was beginning to get worried that he was avoiding her but she just tried to ignore it and have fun with her friends.
Haley was now playing a pool game against Jake.
"This is so not fair I am losing!" Haley pouted.
"Admit it Haley you have never been good at pool." Jake laughed.
"That's not true! Brooke am I bad a pool?" Brooke merely looked at Haley and started laughing.
"Haley did you really even have to ask that!" Chase joked joining Brooke in her laughter.
"Your one of worse pool players I know." Quinn added giving her a look before laughing.
"AHA I win!!" Jake yelled after shooting the 8 ball in the pocket.
"Aren't you just awesome!" Haley stated sarcastically. All Haley could think about was the possibility of Nathan avoiding her. "Guys I am going to run back to my site to go the bathroom."
"Do you want me to go with you?"Jake asked not wanting her to go alone. Haley shook her head.
"No its fine I will be back soon!" Haley said walking out of the arcade. Just as Haley had reached the beach she felt a hand grab her arm. "What the hell?"
"You didn't think I was going to give up that easy did you baby?" Chris said pulling Haley to him.
"What do you want Damien?" Just looking at him made Haley want to scream. Why she even gone out with him in the first place she didn't know.
"Isn't that obvious…you." Chris said wrapping his arms around her waist. Neither one of them noticed Nathan slowly approaching listening to their conversation. He had heard them from his camp site. "I am still in love with you! " Chris told her as she rolled her eyes.
"I thought I made it clear to you a year ago when I broke up with you I don't want to be with you. I was only fooling myself by thinking I was in love with you. You were a completely different person than I thought you were. And plus why would I go back to you when you treated me like shit most of the time and CHEATED ON ME!" Haley said beginning to yell pushing him away. Haley was lucky Nathan's parents were out on the boat otherwise they would have heard the yelling.
"What the fuck are you talking about?" Chris yelled. Haley had only found out about the cheating after they had broken up but never confronted him about it.
"Yeah I know!" Haley revealed. Chris looked angry.
"Where did you hear that?! And what makes you think it's true?" Chris yelled becoming more pissed.
" Oh I know it's true! See about a month after we broke up I got in a fight with Lindsey and your best friend Damien got involved. He decided to throw that nice little fact in my face! It actually made everything make sense, like the constant lies I would catch you in that you never seemed to explain. I am glad I know the truth and was smart enough to break up with you! I HATE YOU! NOW TAKE YOUR HANDS OFF ME!" Haley screamed.
"Come on baby you know you don't mean that…you missed me and it's not over between us! None of the other girls meant anything to me." Chris said pulling her towards him again, he held Haley's hands as she tried to push away he crashed him lips into hers. She immediately slapped him tears pouring down her cheeks and Nathan came into view.
"Let her go." Nathan yelled.
"Aw is this the new guy?" Chris said in a mocking tone.
"That's none of you business now stay away from Haley!" Nathan shouted shoving him hard in the chest, beginning to clench his fists.
"Nathan he's not even worth it!" Haley said putting her hands on Nathans chest trying to calm him.
Chris laughed turning away but then turned back quickly and he said "Dude don't waste your time with that one, she won't put out anyway!" He said with a smirk knowing he had gotten to Haley. If he couldn't get her back why should anyone, he thought. Nathan was about to step in ready to hit him but Haley wound up first and slapped him as hard as she possibly could in the face. Chris grabbed his cheek that was now extremely red. "This isn't over." Chris said. After that he quickly made his exit. Nathan immediately wrapped his arms around Haley as she sobbed into his chest.
"Are you okay?"He asked wiping tears from her cheeks.
"I am so stupid." Haley mumbled as she took a seat on the beach. "I deserve a big fat I told you so..go ahead say it!" Haley said sadly remembering what happened the summer she was dating Chris.
Flashback:
"Haley James! Who is this Chris boy you are dating?" Lydia asked demanding an answer.
"I don't know just a boy." Haley said knowing her mother would never approve of him. She honestly didn't know why she was still going out with him. When she first met him he always seemed so sweet and his best friend was dating hers so they saw each other a lot. Haley quickly realized that he wasn't who she thought he was but she stayed with him.
"I don't want you seeing him!" Her mother said sternly from her spot in the doorway.
"What!? Mom you don't even know him!" Haley snapped.
"I've heard he's not a good guy and he doesn't treat you right!" Her mother yelled back. Haley's eyes widened in shock.
"WHERE DID YOU HEAR THAT? And don't tell me you can't tell me I want to know now!" Haley was pissed. Lydia sighed.
"Nathan, honey, he's worried about you! He doesn't think he's a good enough guy for you and doesn't think you should date him. He is only trying to be a good friend!" Lydia said calming down.
"Well maybe he needs to mind his own business!" Haley said storming passed her mother and out of the trailer.
She walked down the street immediately finding Nathan by his camp site. "What the hell is wrong with you?" Haley yelled. Nathan looked up at her confused.
"Excuse me?" Nathan said confused.
"You talked to my mother! MY mother! You told her my boyfriend was a bad guy and I shouldn't date him! Why the hell would you do that or care what I do with MY LIFE!" Haley was pissed she had like Nathan as long as she could remember and he never seemed to care about her and the second she gets a boyfriend he seems to care. And tries to talk to her mother about it!
"Chris is a bad guy, Haley. I have heard stories you deserve so much better! Not that you care what I think. And I had to tell you mother because I knew you wouldn't listen to me!" Nathan yelled back he didn't know why he had told her mom, he didn't know what else to do but he didn't want Haley dating Chris.
"Well you won't know now will you!" She said storming off.
End of Flashback
"You're not stupid." Nathan said looking at Haley who wouldn't look at him.
"Yes I am everyone knew Chris was a bad guy! You were right that year and you didn't even meet him!" Nathans eyes widened. "I knew it then I was just to mad to admit it…I went home and broke up with him after that fight with you" Haley admitted.
"You what?" Nathan was shocked. He expected her not to listen to him. It seemed like she wasn't going to listen to him.
"What you thought mattered to me then more than you know! So I broke up with him…" Nathan looked shocked but then smiled at her when she looked over at him. Nathan knew he had to say something.
"You deserved better than him." Nathan said softly making her smile a little more.
"Thanks."
"Plus I was jealous!" Nathan admitted with his infamous smirk. Haley's head immediately shot up to look at him again.
"What? Why?" Haley said extremely surprised. She definitely did not expect him to say that.
"Well the truth is I always had a thing for you I just didn't think you felt the same. I didn't think I was good enough for you either. And last year when I found out you had a boyfriend I was jealous but didn't say anything. Then when I found out what I jerk he was a had to do something. I knew you deserved better than that. I didn't think you would listen to me but I knew you were going to get hurt so I did the only thing I could think of, go to your mom. I am sorry for that."Nathan said nervously. Haley was shocked by his confession. She slowly leaned in and gave him a soft kiss shocking Nathan at first but then he immediately responded to it. As they pulled away Nathan spoke.
"Can I ask you something?" Nathan said looking at her.
"Um sure." she answered warily unsure of what he was going to ask.
"Did he ever physically hurt you?" Haley eyes widened "Well I saw him grab you back there and heard everything.."
"Umm…he's grabbed me and shoved me before but I never let it get any further. I don't think he would have gone any further anyway. He was an ass but not that bad. I didn't make a big deal about it because I thought it was my fault…" She said softly looking down.
"It's not your fault if I knew where he was I'd kill him!" Haley just gave him a small smile. "And he's an idiot for cheating on you." A small smile crept across her face but slowly faded.
"Lindsey knew.." She mumbled softly.
"WHAT?"
"She knew he was cheating on me but her boyfriend told her not to tell me..so she didn't." A tear slowly trickled down Haley's cheek. "I think that's the part that hurt the most." Nathan wiped the tears off of her cheek with the pad of his thumb but they didn't stop coming. "She was my best friend and she didn't tell me." Haley said as a few more tears slide down her cheeks. This was the first time other than the boat she was really talking about Lindsey. She always avoided the subject but she felt like telling Nathan.
"She obviously isn't worth your friendship." Nathan stated sympathetically.
"I just don't understand." She sobbed finally breaking down over everything. She had been so hurt when it first happened but after a while she bottled up all the sadness and anger. "How can you treat someone you called you best friend for ten years like that I just- I just- don't get it..." At this point she was sobbing uncontrollably. "Am I – am I – really that bad of a- of a friend?" Haley managed to stutter out.
"No Hales she is! You are an amazing person. And even though we aren't super close like you are with some of your other friends I can see that you're an amazing friend too." Nathan said pulling her into his chest.
"Thank you.." She mumbled into his chest.
"For what?" Nathan asked.
"For helping me with Chris..and listening to me." She said softly. Haley wiped the tears from her face. "God, I'm a mess."
"Your beautiful." Nathan told her as she smiled."You know you can talk to me whenever you need right?" Haley simply nodded and looked down. Nathan then put his index finger under her chin and slowly lifted her head up. At that instant their eyes locked and he slowly leaned in for a mind blowing kiss. They felt as if the world had faded around them.
Haley and Nathan were still on the beach together. Haley wasn't sure how exactly the kiss happened but she was happy about it all the same. She had been dreaming about this moment for years and it was finally happening. Nathan slowly pushed her back against the sand and laid on top of her still kissing her. Haley wrapped her arms around his neck bringing him closer to her. Haley could feel herself getting lost in his kiss until…
"HALEY JAMES!"Brooke yelled from a distance but still hadn't seen them. Nathan's head dropped down to her neck and he groaned at the interruption. Haley just let out a little laugh. "We should probably get up before she starts freaking out." Nathan just nodded and got up reaching his hand out to help Haley up as well which she took. However, he didn't let go of her hand he just intertwined their fingers. Haley smiled at this and gave him a quick peck on the lips.
"Let's go!" She said dragging him in the direction of Brooke's voice who was still calling her.
"HALEY-" Brooke started but was cut off.
"What Brooke?" Haley said as her and Nathan came into view.
"Where have you been? You left the arcade like an hour ago!" Brooke said running to Haley with Chase following close behind. "I was getting worried about you- " Just then Brooke noticed something "Wait a minute why are you guys holding hands, are you like together! " Brooke shrieked jumping up and down they just laughed at her. Haley just shook her head at her friend, typical Brooke. Brooke then pulled Haley away.
"Are you guys together?" Brooke whispered.
"Brooke!" Haley whispered, "He can probably hear you!" Haley scolded.
"Just answer the question." Brooke whispered grinning.
"Uh I don't know you kind of just interrupted us!" Haley said with a smile.
"Oww naughty." Brooke said smirking as Haley lightly smacked her arm.
"Okay let's get back over there." Haley said pulling Brooke back.
"Anyway, where have you been? We've been looking for you." Chase asked
"Sorry, I ran into Chris." Brooke just gasped as Haley told them the story.
"What an ass! Where is he I am going to kick his ass!" Brooke shrieked.
"Don't worry Haley slapped him pretty hard!" Nathan said laughing.
"Way to go Haley!" Brooke exclaimed.
"Are you okay though?" Chase asked.
"Yeah, I'm fine." Haley said smiling at Nathan.
"So do you guys want to head back to the site and watch a movie? That's what everyone else went to do." Chase asked.
"Yeah come on guys!" Brooke begged. "Lucas is already back there picking a movie."
"Yeah sure..Nathan your going to come right?" Haley asked hoping he would say yes.
"Yeah I'm in." He said giving her hand a light squeeze she just smiled in return.
The whole gang was squeezed in the tent watching the movie Grandma's Boy. Brooke and Lucas were on one twin mattress, Felix and Rachel were on the other twin, Jake Peyton and Bevin were on a Queen matress while Chase sat comfortably at the bottom of the mattress, and Nathan Haley and Quinn were on another Queen mattress. They managed to squeeze another queen air mattress that they had for Milli, Mouth, and Anna to sit on. It was a tight fit but they mad it work so everyone one could watch the movie. They had the television in the far corner of the tent so everyone could see it. Nathan and Haley were on the far side of the tent near the wall of the tent, the furthest from the television. Nathan had his arms wrapped around Haley and she had her head resting on his chest watching the movie. No one seemed to notice them snuggled together besides Quinn and Peyton. Peyton just smiled to herself they seemed like they were finally getting together. Haley then noticed Nathan starting to fall asleep. She reached up and lightly flicked him in the head joking around. Nathan jumped slightly not expecting it, Haley quietly giggled.
"You think that's funny huh?" Haley just simply nodded her head as she grinned."Well how do you like this?" Nathan started tickling her causing her to squirm around and laugh really loud making everyone turn and look at them, Felix glaring in jealousy.
"NATHAN! STOP-PLEASE—AAHH!!" Nathan laughed but continued. "I hate…being….tickled…please…STOP!" Everyone just watched them laughing.
"Say you sorry and that I'm the hottest guy in the world!" He said with a smirk.
"I can't breath!" Haley manage to get out laughing. "Okay…okay..I'm sorry..."
"And?"
"YOUR THE..HOTTEST GUY IN THE WORLD" She yelled out quickly causing him to stop.
"Aw thanks Hales!" Haley just smacked him in the chest lightly. Then turned to face the wall pretending to be mad trying to get him back for tickling her, she hated to be tickled.
"I'm mad at you." She mumbled crossing her arms over her chest. Nathan chuckled.
"No you not.." He said as he moved her hair off of her neck and leaned his head down to it. He began leaving hot sensual kisses on her neck wrapping his arms around her waist. Haley couldn't take it anymore, she rolled over and captured his mouth with hers.
"Your still mean.." She mumbled teasingly against his lips kissing him once again as he smiled and she wrapped her arms around his neck. Then she felt his tongue brush against her bottom lip. She immediately opened her mouth allowing him full access to her mouth. Haley was just getting lost in the kiss when a voice interrupted it.
"I'm going for a walk!" Felix said storming out of the tent almost tripping on everyone in his pathway to the door.
"What's his problem?" Lucas asked oblivious of the situation.
"I'm not sure he just go up out of no where.." Rachel said confused.
"Ugh, As much as a want to stay here I have to go talk to him." Haley whispered.
"Why?" Nathan asking kissing her neck once again.
"Because he's my friend and I know he just saw us, that's why he left. I'm sorry I just feel horrible hurting him. Haley said giving him a quick peck on the lips.
"It's okay. You're a good friend." Nathan said kissing her one more time before she got up.
"I'll be right back guys." Haley said walking outside she immediately saw Felix sitting on the steps on the porch.
"Is this seat taken?" She joked taking the seat next to him. He sat there looking straight into the street not even looking at her.
"It's him..the guy you have feelings for…" He said clearly angry. He refused to look at her.
"Felix, I'm sorry-" She began but was cut off.
"No your not! If you were you wouldn't be making out with him right in front of me! You know how I feel about you! Just tell me is he the one you have feelings for?" Felix said beginning to yell.
"Felix! Lower your voice!"
"NO HALEY ANSWER THE DAMN QUESTION!" Felix screamed standing up causing Haley to stand to.
"YES I HAVE FEELINGS FOR NATHAN AND I'M SORRY YOU HAD TO SEE US KISSING BUT I REALLY CARE ABOUT HIM, GOD I HAVE SINCE I WAS 12! YOUR ONE OF MY GOOD FRIENDS I DON'T WANT THAT TO CHANGE…PLEASE!" Haley said really upset.
"WELL IT HAS! IT KILLS ME TO SEE YOU WITH HIM!" Felix yelled again.
"AND I AM TRULY SORRY FOR THAT BUT I AM NOT GOING TO STOP SEEING HIM I CARE ABOUT HIM TO MUCH! I AM HAPPY WHY CAN'T YOU JUST BE HAPPY FOR ME! YOU HAD YOUR CHANCE MONTHS AGO AND BLEW IT, IT'S TOO LATE. PLUS YOUR WITH RACHEL WHO IS ONE OF MY BEST FRIENDS AND WHAT YOUR DOING IS NOT FAIR TO HER-" Haley was then cut off my another voice.
"WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON OUT HERE?" Rachel yelled clearly hearing the whole thing.
"I'm going for a walk!" Felix muttered walking away.
"Don't you walk away from me!" Rachel snapped.
"Try and stop me!" Felix said as he continued walking.
"Rach, I can explain please." Haley pleaded.
"What's going on between you two huh? You're supposed to be one of my best friends! I heard everything; hell everyone in the tent heard everything!" Rachel was furious. "I want the whole story and I want it now!"
"Well while you were at school a couple months ago I did have feelings for Felix. We were kind of seeing each other but it never turned into anything! And the other night at the party he told me he wanted to be with me and I turned him down! I said it wasn't fair to you and I had feelings for someone else. Felix tried to kiss me but I pushed him away! I couldn't do that to you! Felix didn't take it well but I just ignored it because you are my best friend! I would never do anything to hurt you! Anyway we hadn't talked since last night. Then Felix just saw me and Nathan kissing in the tent and he stormed out so I went to check on him. I'm sure you heard the rest! I don't want Felix I only care about him AS A FRIEND, Nathan is the only guy I care about! Rach, I am so sorry please!" At this point tears were forming in Haley's eyes.
"WELL IT DOES HURT HALEY! AND YES I DID HEAR YOUR CONVERSATION BUT HOW DO I KNOW I CAN TRUST YOU OR BELIEVE YOU NOW?" Rachel yelled.
"Because you're my best friend I'm sorry I didn't tell you I was going to I just didn't want to hurt you! Felix means nothing to me we are only friends. I don't want him, I want Nathan! You heard say this to Felix, please! You're my best friend!" Haley said beginning to cry. "Please forgive me?"
"I believe you. But you still hurt me and so did Felix I just need time.." Rachel said walking off to find Felix. Haley just sat down on the ground and pulled her knees to her chest crying.
Meanwhile while they were arguing everyone was in the tent hearing every word, VERY confused. Lucas was shocked at first when he heard Haley yell that she liked Nathan since she was twelve. He was shocked she would yell it knowing how close Nathan was. They all continued to listen as Rachel joined the fight. Lucas was shocked again when Haley admitted she liked Nathan. Then after he heard her yell somehtign about them kissing he realized something must have been going on he just didn't notice.
"I am so confused what's going on with Felix and Haley?" Jake asked. "I thought whatever was going on ended months ago?"
"When was there a Felix and Haley?" Peyton asked confused. She never heard anything about this.
"It's a long story but this can't be good. Rachel is pissed!" Brooke said.
"Wait Nathan, since when are you and my sister together?" Lucas asked turning to look at Nathan.
Nathan had a huge grin on his face and shrugged slightly. "I don't know kinda last night and today..Is that okay dude?"
"Yeah! It's about damn time!" Lucas said. Nathan just laughed at this.
"I always knew it was a matter of time." Quinn added. Peyton reached over lightly nudge her brother.
"Finally you stopped being a baby and told you how you feel!" Peyton said laughing.
"Ugh shut up!" Nathan said rolling his eyes.
Just then they heard Rachel leave, now it was time for damage control.
"Okay, I'm going to do some damage control and go talk to Rachel. Nathan can you handle Haley?" Brooke asked.
"Already on it." Nathan said standing up heading out of the tent.
"Good, now Jake can you go talk some sense into you dumb friend Felix!" Brooke said standing up.
"Sure, I am not really sure what's going on but yeah." Jake said standing up walking out of the tent with Brooke.
Once Nathan, Brooke, and Jake were outside Nathan immediately went to Haley. She was sitting on the porch with her legs against her chest. Her arms were wrapped around her legs as she cried into her knees. Brooke and Jake went off together to find Rachel and Felix.
Haley suddenly felt to arms wrap around her she knew who it was immediately and leaned into him.
"I'm sorry.." Haley mumbled.
"For what?" Nathan asked confused.
"Your always comforting me, I'm such a mess.."
"Shh it's okay!" Nathan said rubbing her back trying to sooth her.
"Did you hear everything?" Haley asked.
"Yeah I did." Haley just looked down "And I really care about you too.." Nathan said with a smile. Haley looked up with a huge grin on her face. He wiped the tears from her cheeks and leaned in and kissed her softly on the lips. "I didn't know how long you liked me.."
"Yeah." Haley said laughing nervously. "It's no big deal."
"Yes it is." Nathan said softly. "I just wish I knew sooner." Nathan said kissing her again. "I would have got to do that sooner." Nathan said smirking as Haley smiled softly. He could still she was still upset over what just happened though.
"Do you want to go to sleep?" Haley simply nodded.
"Stay here tonight.."Haley asked nervously.
"Of course." Nathan said as he reached his hand down to help her up which she took. After she stood up they made their way into the trailer.
Meanwhile Rachel had found Felix and was screaming at him.
"HOW THE HELL COULD YOU DO THIS TO ME, WITH MY BEST FRIEND? YOUR SUCH AN ASSHOLE DID YOU KNOW THAT! AHH I LET YOU DO THIS TO ME AGAIN! EVERY FRIGGIN TIME WE GET TOGETHER YOU DECIDE YOU WANT SOMEONE ELSE!" Rachel yelled. She was furious she was sick and tired of this off and on game with them.
" I'M SORRY I DIDN'T MEAN FOR THIS TO HAPPEN! I COULDN'T HELP IT BUT I FELL FOR HALEY!" Felix yelled back.
"YOUR SUCH A F-" Just then Jake stepped in.
"Okay, I understand you guys are both upset but it's one o'clock in the morning and you guys are yelling you need to chill out NOW or your going to get us in trouble! If the camp ground owner comes around we will all get kicked out. Felix let's go for a walk." Jake said walking away with Felix.
"Hey girly, you okay?" Brooke asked Rachel.
"I've been better.." Rachel mumbled. Brooke gently wrapped an arm around Rachel's shoulders giving her a squeeze.
"Listen Rach, Haley told me about what happen with Felix after the party. She really was upset about it because your one of her best friends. She didn't want to hurt you! She felt horrible, she just didn't know how to tell you. And you already knew Felix could be an ass!" Brooke said with a little laugh.
"Really?" Rachel asked unsure. "I don't see why they hid what happened a few months ago then.."
"Yes! I think Haley didn't want to hurt you knowing what was going on a few months ago wasn't going anywhere. She didn't want you to hate her. She was about to tell you but then it was over. She wasn't expecting him to still have feelings for her. Plus if you can't tell Haley's totally head over heels in love with Nathan! She is just finally starting to admit it!" Brooke said smiling.
"Yeah, I'll talk to her. Thanks Brooke." Rachel said feeling bad for blowing up at Haley she just got caught in the line of fire.
"Good, now let's go its creepy out here!" Brooke said grabbing onto Rachel's arm. Rachel just laughed and walked with Brooke. Brooke was pretty much speed walking though she hated being in the woods at night.
"Dude what the hell is wrong with you?" Jake asked as he walked with Felix.
"I want to be with Haley I was stupid a few months back." Felix said.
"It's too late man I'm sorry. She's with Nathan, they seem happy. I saw them in the tent. Not to mention what were you thinking, you can't go between best friends like that!" Jake said.
"I just can't help it! If I didn't screw up months ago I'd be with her right now not Nathan." Felix said defensively.
"You can't think like that. Let her be happy dude. And do me a favor, figure thinks out with Rachel. If you don't want to be with her then don't, don't drag her alone." Felix simply just nodded his head in agreement.
