The Truth
Haley had spent all night thinking, thinking and more thinking. What would Lucas said, Haley knew how much pain Lucas had been through thanks to Nathan. Great.
"HALEY FUGLY JAMES!" Taylor yelled from her room
"What do you want Taylor?" Haley asked
"I WANT YOU TO DIE" Taylor yelled
"Just because Nathan dumped you!" Haley yelled back
"Yes, Anyways people at school are just going to think, that you're some Slut that is Nathan's sloppy seconds" Taylor responded
"Sloppy seconds, excuse me?" Haley asked
"YOU heard me, you're just a little Sloppy second" Taylor yelled
"Ugh, I can't deal with this good bye" Haley yelled leaving the house
Haley needed to clear her head; she couldn't make sense of what Taylor had said. Taylor hadn't even liked Nathan she was just using him to have somebody sleep with, even Haley knew that. So why Taylor so fought up about him? Was it because Nathan had chosen Haley over her? Taylor was always the dumper instead of the dumpy. Had she never been attached to anyone before? like she had been to Nathan. But Nathan had seemed naturally attracted to Haley, not to Taylor. With all of Haley's frustration she hadn't even noticed Lucas' car pull up.
Lucas could see Haley pacing in confusion, so he parked his car and hopped out.
"Haley what's the matter?" He asked walking over to her
Haley couldn't tell Lucas the real reason so she decided to lie "Nothing Luke, I'm fine, Taylor's just be herself" Haley said biting down on her lip.
"Are you sure?" Lucas asked again
"Yes, I am. Trust me" Haley said
"Okay, I believe you, ready for school?" Lucas asked
"I am, let's get out of here and no more questions" Haley
It was a very quite ride to school, Haley was feeling very guilty for lying to Lucas. It was for the best, wasn't it? Haley had to make sure she actually like Nathan? She wanted to make sure she wasn't some girl he wanted to lay over, then ditch her like all the girls before her.
When the two reached the school they went there separate ways, which Haley usually went to Lucas's locker after she was done. But, she didn't go to Lucas' locker, on her way there. She noticed Nathan at his locker and no one else was at there lockers or in the hallway.
"Hey Gorgeous" Nathan said
"Hey" Haley replied
"Come here?" Nathan asked.
Haley looked around nervously; she didn't see anyone and walked over to Nathan who opened his arms. Nathan loved holding Haley in his arms. Haley went into his arms. Haley looked up at Nathan. "Now this made my day" Nathan said. Haley bit her lip; Nathan slowly released Haley from his grip
"Hales, what is wrong?"
"Nothing Nate" She replied
"Okay, fine" Nathan said
Nathan bent over and kissed Haley on the lips, Haley quickly accepted not until she realized Lucas could turn the corner at any second; she pulled away from Nathan completely.
"Hales?" Nathan asked
"If anyone was to see us, Lucas would know and he would kill me, remember I still want to tell him when the time is right" Haley explained
"Whatever. I'll see you tonight" Nathan said walking away
Once again Haley was left frustrated over what she should do. She looked around and didn't see anyone and she leaned her back onto the lockers, and slide down to the ground, and placed her head in her hands. She was so confused, who was more important to her. Haley felt a tap on her shoulder; she was not in the mood to talk to anyone.
"What do you want?" Haley said not lifting her head
"Whoa, I guess somebody on there period" Peyton said
"Peyton Sawyer, you never talk to me" Haley questioned lifting her head up
"I wanted to see if you were okay, and you are in front of my locker" Peyton replied
"Oh, Sorry" Haley said getting up. She and Peyton had never seen eye to eye ever, besides in Haley's mind Peyton was a slut, Whore etc.
"But, seriously are you okay?" Peyton asked
"Ya, I'll be fine" Haley replied
"Haley, I know were not friends, but you look really torn up about something, Do you want to talk about it?" Peyton continued
"Sure, what the heck, what do I have to lose" Haley answered.
Peyton quickly, put her bag in her locker and motioned for Haley to follow her.
The two walked out of the school, over to a lunch table. Haley had a first period spare, and as Haley could tell Peyton didn't care about missing class.
"Okay, Let's here it" Peyton said
"First off, you need to promise not to tell anyone" Haley said
"Who would I tell, I'm not that low" Peyton replied
"Okay well a few weeks ago I came home and my sister Taylor had a guy over, and that guy was Nathan Scott. Well long story short, Nathan asked me to tutor him, so I said sure. Well Taylor put pot in the brownies, so I started flirting with Nathan, not meaning to, Since Lucas; Nathan's Half brother is my best friend. But the weed help bring out my true feelings for Nathan, so he basically found out I liked him and it turned out he likes me too, so now were sort of dating, but Taylor hates me, Lucas doesn't know and would probably kill me if I told him, and Nathan really into PDA, but I'm scared of Lucas finding out from someone else other than me." Haley explained.
Peyton thought. "Well I'd never thought you and Nathan Scott would ever be a couple. But, anyways I think if you tell Lucas as soon as possible, before he hears it from anyone else, Come on. How bad could it be if you told him, the truth?" Peyton replied '
"Lucas has always been really understanding, But never when it comes to Nathan" Haley answered
"So let Lucas see the side off Nathan you see" Peyton replied
"That's true, Thanks Peyton"
"Anytime Haley"
Haley walked down the school hallway on the way to her last class of the day, when she saw Taylor. Great, just who Haley wanted to see. One of Taylor's Friends Shelley, yelled out "Slut"
Sorina yelled "Sloppy Seconds"
Haley was so upset, she walked right by Taylor and her gang, trying to hold back the tears, Haley did pretty well, until she got to class where she took a seat next to Lucas, and completely broke down.
"Haley are you alright?" Lucas asked turning to face Haley
"No, Luke I have something to tell you" Haley replied burying her face into Lucas' arm. "What is it?" Lucas asked confusedly
"Class be quite, this is an important lesson, you need to take notes and No TALKING" Mrs. Smith said.
So the whole class Haley sat there, wanting to tell Lucas, before Taylor did, before any of Taylor's minions did. It passed very slowly. Lucas sat there wondering what Haley wanted to tell him. The teacher assigned the homework, and there's was about 2 minutes to the bell.
"Hales, what did you want to tell me?" Lucas asked
"Well, Luke. You see… um… well…" Haley stuttered
"Spit it out Haley" Lucas said very loudly
the bell rang and Haley ran out of the class before she had told Lucas.
As Lucas walked down the hall, he heard girls gossiping about Nathan's new girl. He wondered who this girl was but he figured Nathan was just going to screw her and dump her, that's what he always did. Lucas heard Taylor talking, he listened as he walked by.
"Some Slut" Shelley said
"Ya, she was with him tutoring him, right in front of me and they were hooking up, he didn't even need any help in school" Taylor said
"He couldn't get what he wanted from you so he went down to your sister, what a jerk" Sorina replied
"The worst thing is Haley is such a slut she can't even tell Lucas" Taylor said winking at Lucas.
"Excuse me Taylor, You've done a lot of shitty things but making things up about Haley is low even for you" Lucas said stepping in.
"I'm not making anything up, Her and Nathan went to the beach and everything, then he came home with her straight up to her room, im pretty sure he even slept over" Taylor replied. Sure she had made up the sleeping over but she needed to make Haley hurt some how.
"First off, Haley doesn't want to do anything until she is married, besides Haley tells me everything" Lucas rebutted
"Want to see the proof?" Shelley asked
"Proof?" Lucas question
Taylor flipped out her phone, and showed Lucas a video of Haley and Nathan
"GET OUT!" Taylor yelled. Nathan turned to leave.
"Nathan you don't have to go, come with me" Haley said pulling Nathan up the stairs
"NO YOU HAVE TO GET OUT OF THIS HOUSE!" Taylor continued to yell.
Haley turned around and said "Your just jealous because he chose me" then Haley closed her door.
Lucas's Jaw dropped he was speechless; he walked away from Taylor who smirked and laughed about it.
