I DON'T OWN ANY CHARACTERS IN ONE TREE HILL
The Proposal
Song: Fallin' For You- Colbie Caillat
Haley woke up at six o'clock as she did every morning. Haley went down stairs to get breakfast. Unfortunately, one of the only similarities in taste that Taylor and Haley shared was in cereal. Taylor had finished yesterday morning, and put the box back. So Haley was upset about that and grabbed a banana, and went back up to her room. Haley decided she should add some more information to her English final; she had been done for a week now. It also wasn't due for another 2 months. Haley went down stairs at about 7:45 waiting for Lucas to come get her, as he did every morning
"Out of my way short stuff" Taylor said pushing Haley out of the way
"Taylor! You just got up? School starts in like 20 minutes!" Haley said
"Unlike you, most people don't get up at 6 am" Taylor yelled
"When do normal people get up?" Haley asked
"Noon" Taylor said
"But that makes you not normal" Haley said
"Who said I am going to school, I am going back to bed till noon" Taylor said
"Fine by me, you just stay at home. You better hope mom and dad don't find out" Haley yelled
"They won't besides I am a senior, I could say I was at a university tour" Taylor explained
"You University HA" Haley said laughing
"Don't mock me" Taylor said
There was a honk of a car. Haley knew that it was Lucas. "Bye Taylor, Don't get caught. Wait I hope you do get caught!" Haley said walking out the door to Lucas' car.
"Good morning Hales, you seem Happy?" Lucas Questioned
Haley got into Lucas' car and sloped down, doing up her seat belt
"I was, until Taylor-" Haley started to say
"What did she do this time?" Lucas asked cutting Haley off
Haley smiled Lucas was one of the only people she could depend on to trash Taylor when Haley was upset "Well to start, she eat the rest of the cereal again leaving me none for this morning, another thing she is skipping this morning and will most likely get away with it" Haley told Lucas
Lucas put his car in drive, and pulled his car onto the road. He started to drive towards the school. "Oh no, is the world going to end?" Lucas asked Haley
Haley was so pissed at Taylor she didn't even realize Lucas hadn't sided with her.
When she finally did she said "Luke, it's not fair! She gets away with everything. I never get away with anything"
"Haley listen, Life not fair sometimes anyways I never get away with anything, karma will catch up with Taylor eventually anyways" Lucas explained, well pulling his car into a parking space at Tree Hill High.
Haley though about what Lucas said she realized he just dug himself a hole but climb out by using his knowledge to get Haley to understand him. "Your right Luke thanks" Haley said. But, Haley was going to get him back. So she punched him in the arm.
"Ouch Haley, what was that for?" Lucas asked
"Oh you know" Haley laughed as she got out of Lucas' car
"I'm sorry, I was insensitive" Lucas smiled getting out of his car
"That's better, I'm sorry too Luke, I had to get you back some how" Haley giggled
The two walked into the school. When Haley was finished at her locker she walked over to Lucas' locker. As a make up to this morning's argument, Lucas and Haley hugged. The way brothers and sisters hug, it was I love you but I would never kiss you type of hug.
Nathan was walking down the hall, to see the girl he wanted to know hugging, his brother, his swore enemy. He couldn't help to look at them. Nathan saw the hug end and how the two were in deep conversation. Nathan was upset, even though he didn't know this girl. He really wanted to. Nathan didn't know that the two were best friends.
"So is this why I don't get to know your name?" Nathan said walking over to the two.
"No" Haley looked at Nathan
"Your dating him aren't you?" Nathan asked
"EW, Gross. Lucas? No, he is my best friend" Haley was in utter disgust
"Sure, you two look more than friends" Nathan told them
"Nathan, the only reason we look more than friends is because I care about H-" Lucas started to say. But Haley cut him off "He cares about me like i am his sister and he is like my brother" Haley explained looking at Lucas.
"Oh I'm sorry for bothering you then, anyways mystery girl, I will find out who you are eventually all by myself I no the first letter now just for the rest is it Hannah?" Nathan asked
"No" Haley said walking away
Nathan decided to yell out "Hayden?"
Haley just kept walking, Lucas gave Nathan a dirty look, and then Lucas left to go find Haley.
Nathan could figure out what he had done wrong. Then it hit him, this mystery girl is fragile and he didn't mean to hurt her. But somehow he had managed to make her cry which he felt really bad for. Nathan got a text from Taylor
"Nate, come outside at lunch meet me behind the gym, ILU" it read
Nathan texted back "I can't at lunch, why not after school, your house?"
Taylor replied very quickly "Whatever! Sure, meet me after school then"
Lucas looked up and down to find Haley but to avail, she was no where to be found, he darted around asking everyone he saw. "Have you seen Haley" he would ask. Most replied "Who?" Lucas gave up after that, he figured Haley would probably be in the girl washroom by her locker. That is where Haley always went, when she had been upset. Luke leaned against the wall outside the bathroom; he waited for a very long time. He wanted to go in but he knew he couldn't. Just then the girl Lucas had been in love with his whole life walked by, Brooke Davis. He talked to her a lot, she had no idea how he felt.
"Hey, Brooke can you do me a favor?" Lucas yelled
Brooke turned around "That depends what it is" she said
"Well, I think Haley is in there, and she's pretty upset" Lucas said
Brooke wasn't the best of friends with Haley, but hearing that she was upset. Brooke knew she should do something. "Okay, I'll go see her and Luke you owe me" Brooke said
Brooke walked into the bathroom, looking around to see if she could see Haley. "Haley?" Brooke asked. Nobody answered, Brooke realized that the last stall was closed and locked. She walked over to it "Haley James, want to talk about it?" Brooke asked again. Haley unlocked the stall, she looked at Brooke. It broke Brooke's heart to see that Haley was crying. "What happened?" Brooke asked as she opened her arms to Haley, Haley went into them.
"Nathan Scott happened" Haley muttered
"Nathan? What did he do?" Brooke asked
"He doesn't know who I am" Haley mumbled
"That's a good thing Haley" Brooke spoke
"He is trying to figure out who I am by guessing names" Haley told Brooke
"And he hasn't asked if your name if Haley?" Brooke asked
"Exactly, and he is dating Taylor, and Brooke I think I might like him" Haley said
"Oh, I see" Brooke agreed with Haley
"But I don't want to like him, he is a jerk!" Haley yelled then stormed out of the bathroom as fast as she could. Not believing that she almost told Brooke about her problem, but she did. Haley was angry now, she saw Nathan getting into his car, she knew he would probably be going to her house. She ran over.
"Hey Harriet" Nathan said
"That's not my name, anyways moving on. Can you give me a ride?"
"Sure, but you have-" Nathan started to say
"How about I don't slap you if you get me out of this place" Haley said looking around making sure nobody saw.
Once in the car, Nathan began to speak "Harley?" Haley just gave him a dirty look. She he decided not to say anything else to her. When they arrived at the house, Haley jumped out and ran right inside. Nathan walked up the steps and knocked on the door after Haley had slammed it shut. Taylor answered the door, and flung herself onto Nathan.
"Hey Hottie, your late" Taylor said
"Ya, I'm sorry I gave your sister a ride home she seemed pretty upset" Nathan replied
"Oh, well if you were a few seconds earlier you wouldn't of known that I have to run to Karen's café with this note from my mom, I ask you to come with me but Karen doesn't like it when I'm with guys, so stay here. Watch some TV or something okay?" Taylor told Nathan
"Fine with me" Nathan replied he though about how he could talk to the girl he still didn't know her name but he wanted to know it, he wanted her to talk to him
Taylor walked out of the house.
Haley only had two things that usually clamed her down when she was upset, Mr. Waffles and Singing. Haley decided to choose the mature option, which was singing. She bent over and grabbed her guitar out from underneath her bed. What Haley didn't know that Nathan was right outside of her room.
"This is an Haley James original it's called Fallin' for You" Haley said
as she started to play the guitar. Nathan smirked he finally knew her name it was Haley, he wasn't even close. Nathan decided to listen to Haley playing.
I don't know but
I think I maybe
Fallin' for you
Dropping so quickly
Maybe I should
Keep this to myself
Waiting 'til I
Know you better I am trying
Not to tell you
But I want to
I'm scared of what you'll say
So I'm hiding what I'm feeling
But I'm tired of
Holding this inside my head I've been spending all my time
Just thinking about ya
I don't know what to do
I think I'm fallin' for you
I've been waiting all my life
and now I found ya
I don't know what to do
I think I'm fallin' for you
I'm fallin' for you As I'm standing here
And you hold my hand
Pull me towards you
And we start to dance
All around us
I see nobody
Here in silence
It's just you and me I'm trying
Not to tell you
But I want to
I'm scared of what you'll say
So I'm hiding what I'm feeling
But I'm tired of
Holding this inside my head I've been spending all my time
Just thinking about ya
I don't know what to do
I think I'm fallin' for you
I've been waiting all my life
and now I found ya
I don't know what to do
I think I'm fallin' for you
I'm fallin' for you Oh I just can't take it
My heart is racing
The emotions keep spinning out I've been spending all my time
Just thinking about ya
I don't know what to do
I think I'm fallin' for you
I've been waiting all my life
and now I found ya
I don't know what to do
I think I'm fallin' for you
I'm fallin' for you I can't stop thinking about it
I want you all around me
And now I just can't hide it
I think I'm fallin' for you I'm fallin' for you Ooohhh
Oh no no
Oooooohhh
Oh I'm fallin' for you
Haley stopped she felted as if a huge weight had been lifted off her shoulders she just let out every thing she had been thinking. It turned out to be an amazing song. Nathan was standing outside Haley's room speechless, she was so talented. So he walked in the room
"Is it Haley?" Nathan asked
"What are you doing here?" Haley asked as she started to blush
"Taylor had to run out and told me to wait here so I am, she said to preoccupy myself so I am" Nathan replied.
"By the way that was amazing" Nathan added
"Thanks, but you weren't meant to here that" Haley said as her cheeks got brighter.
"The only reason I was coming up here was to guess your name again and ask you for a favour" Nathan said
"Well you got it right finally, and let me see me do you a favour why would I ever do that?" Haley asked as she started to smile.
"I drove you home, Haley it's the least you can do" Nathan said stepping forward closer to Haley
"The LEAST I CAN DO, YOU MADE MY BEST FRIENDS LIFE A LIVING HELL, WHY WOULD I EVER WANT TO HELP YOU!" Haley yelled
"The only reason I am asking is because I need a Tutor, but I really don't want anyone to know, and since Taylor likes me being here all the time I just thought you would be able to help a guy out" Nathan said
"Let me think about it" Haley paused "NEVER in a million years" She finished
"I'll leave Lucas alone, I might even be nice" Nathan said trying to convince Haley
Nathan watched as he saw Haley biting her lip. It was like a Game of Tug of War Haley thought to her. It was a simile, she was winning at the moment and Nathan was about to gain control if she said yes. If she didn't agree Nathan would probably make Lucas life worst. If she under a set of her on conditions she would have control, she would theoretically be winning this game of Tug of War.
"I will if you be nice to Lucas and don't tell anyone that I am actually spending time with you" Haley said
Nathan smirked "sounds great to me"
