I know a lot of you guys are getting upset that Naley isn't together get but I PROMISE you it will happen very very very very soon... Two big things have to happen before they could get together, but PLEASE stay with me. I promise you it'll be worth it. Thanks for reading, and all the lovely reviews as always.

Unfortunately there isn't any drama in this chapter, but don't worry, I already started writing the next chapter and every line is filled with angst and drama... I had to split the wedding ceremony and the reception in two parts because otherwise it would have been over bearing. Thanks for reading, and PLEASE stay with me. I promise it'll be worth it... I happen to like when it takes a while for a couple to get together, but I'm sorry for those of you who are getting annoyed. Without further ado, I present to you, Chapter 14.(Based on the song, Makin' Plans by Miranda Lambert, listen to it!) Enjoy! xoxo

Haley stood in front of Brooke as she helped to place the small tiara on her head.

"You look beautiful, Brookie." Haley complimented as she felt tears forming in her large brown eyes.

Brooke smiled and stood up, grabbing her best friend's hand. The two women stood in front of a long mirror, as they stared at their reflections.

Brooke had on a long, white, satin wedding gown, that she designed herself. It was simple, yet extremely elegant. The top had a sweetheart neckline, and the dress was fit to conform her body.

Haley had on a long silk red dress, that cinched at her thin waist. The top, was a v-neck, which showed little cleavage, yet it was still classy. Brooke had also designed the bridesmaids dresses.

"Thank you Haley. For everything. You are the best friend any one could ever want, and I'm lucky that you're my best friend. You're practically my sister- you've always been there for me and I can't thank you enough. I love you, Hales." Brooke said as she felt her own tears pooling behind her eyes.

Haley felt a small tear roll down her cheek. "I love you too, and I'm so happy for you Tigger. I can't think of two people who deserve each other more than you and Luke."

"Thank you." Brooke cried. "Now stop all this mushy gushy-ness! You're making me cry and then my make up will get ruined and I don't want to look like a bridezilla!" She joked lightheartedly.

Haley giggled and hugged Brooke one more time. "You really do look gorgeous."

"Thanks, Hales. So do you."

"I would hope so. After all, it is a Brooke Davis original." Haley smiled.

Brooke playfully rolled her eyes, and pulled Haley in for one last hug. "I can't believe I'm going to be Mrs. Scott."

"You and Luke are perfect for each other. I can't believe my two best friends fell in love, and are about to be married!" Haley marveled.

Brooke smiled widely, "I can't believe it either." She laughed. "Speaking of people who are perfect for each other, I bet I won't be the only Mrs. Scott around here." Brooke winked.

"What are you talking about?" Haley laughed.

"The next time we're at a wedding I guarantee our roles will be reversed. You'll be the one marrying a certain blue eyed, raven haired Scott, named Nathan." Brooke gushed.

Haley blushed slightly, "I highly doubt that."

"I'm serious! Do you remember that one night during the summer at Holden Beach when we stayed up all night talking about our dream weddings?" Brooke asked.

Haley bit her lip, and her mind instantly flash backed to that night Brooke was talking about.

August 19th, 2008:

"I miss Nathan." Haley pouted as she rolled her self up in a ball on the couch.

"I miss Lucas." Brooke huffed and sprawled out on the floor of the cabin.

"You guys are pathetic!" Peyton snickered. "The guys leave for one night to see some basketball game, and you're sitting around moping and crying! We should be having fun!"

"I haven't seen Nathan for five hours and I haven't talked to him in two hours! This is like the longest we've gone without talking all summer!" Haley wined.

Peyton rolled her eyes, "You go to sleep for nine hours every night and you don't talk to him. Get over it!"

"Oh cut her some slack, P. Sawyer! It's her first love, and she's love sick. Isn't that right Hales?" Brooke asked.

Haley's head shot up from her hands and her eyes widened, "Huh?"

"You love Nathan!" Brooke sing-songed.

Haley bit her lip and threw the nearest couch pillow at Brooke's head.

"Ow!" She exclaimed. "What was that for?"

"For saying the 'L' word!" Haley scolded.

"What? Love?" Brooke asked.

Haley threw another pillow at Brooke.

"Dammit Hales, would you stop that?"

"Stop saying 'Love." She whispered.

"Why is that so bad?" Peyton piped in.

"Because Nathan and I haven't said that yet..."

"So?"

"So, I don't want to talk about it." Haley said quickly.

"Are you afraid to admit you love him?" Brooke asked.

"I never said I did!" Haley answered.

Peyton snorted, "Hate to break it to you girly, but it's pretty obvious that you do."

"What? Is it really?" Haley asked nervously.

"You pretty much just admitted it." Brooke smirked.

Haley threw her head back against the couch and groaned in frustration. "Fine. I love him, okay? I love him more than anything, and I'm freaked out about it!"

Both Brooke and Peyton 'awed' at the same time.

"That's sweet!" Brooke gushed.

"Haley's in love!" Peyton screamed.

"You guys! Shut up!" Haley scolded.

"HALEY JAMES LOVES NATHAN SCOTT!" Brooke screamed louder.

Haley groaned and jumped on top of Brooke. "I'm going to rip your hair out if you say it again!" Haley warned.

"Okay, okay. I'm sorry, please don't touch the hair!" Brooke rushed out.

"Seriously though, why are you so afraid of love?" Peyton inquired.

Haley blew out a long breath. "I just... I don't know. I'm afraid if I tell him, he won't feel the same way."

"Trust me tutor girl, it's pretty obvious Nate feels the same way." Brooke advised.

"Even if he does, it doesn't matter. We're going to college in a week and a half. Our relationship was just supposed to be fun and flirty. I never planned on falling this hard for him." Haley admitted shyly.

"That's the beauty of love. You never know when or how it'll happen." Brooke gushed.

"I don't know what to do." Haley groaned.

"Tell him."

"Don't tell him!"

Brooke and Peyton both screamed at the same time.

"Okay one of you thinks I should, and the other thinks I shouldn't. Great. Thanks for your help." Haley mumbled sarcastically.

"I think you should tell him. He obviously feels the same way, and you can totally pull off long distance. Love know's no boundary's." Brooke advised.

Peyton tapped her finger on her forehead. "Yeah well I think she should wait to see if he says it first. Isn't it like a rule for guys to say it first?"

"Screw the rules of love. It's fair game!" Brooke cheered.

Haley sighed, "Can we just not talk about this right now? I think Peyton's right. We should have a girls night."

Brooke clapped her hands together and squealed, "I know exactly what we can do! I just bought a new wedding magazine! I just got a new CD, and we pig out on junk food."

"I'm in." Peyton agreed.

"Me too, but let me just call Nathan really quickly." Haley replied.

"Nuh-uh! This is a boy-free night!" Peyton scolded.

"Boy free? Yeah right!" Brooke snickered. "We're planning our weddings tonight, so it will be filled with romance."

"You guys are ridiculous!" Peyton chastised.

"Really? I bet you think about marrying Jake all the time. Am I right P Sawyer, future Jagelski?"

Peyton blushed slightly, "Okay, okay. You caught me."

Brooke smiled satisfactorily, while Haley walked into her room and dialed Nathan's number.

After about two rings, Nathan finally picked up, and as soon as Haley heard his voice she had butterflies in her stomach.

"Hey babe." Nathan answered.

"Do you call everyone babe?" Haley joked.

"Nah, only my girlfriends." Nathan joked back.

"Oh really? So I'm not your only girlfriend?"

"Nope, but you're my favorite one." Nathan teased.

"Aw man, here I was thinking I was special because you called me babe." Haley playfully pouted.

"You are special, and you're my only baby. You know that Hales."

"So now I'm a baby?" Haley countered.

Nathan laughed into the phone, "No, you are a sexy, mature eighteen year old woman, who happens to be all mine."

"Good answer."

"So how's your night?"

"Oh it's great, we hired male strippers, and I'm about to meet one of them in my room now-"

"Very funny, Hales." Nathan deadpanned.

Haley giggled, "No, actually the night completely sucks. I miss you so much baby."

"I miss you too Hales. More than you'll ever know."

"How was the game? Did the bob-lions win?"

Nathan let out a deep chuckle, "You mean the Bobcats?"

"Yeah what ever."

"Well yeah, the Bobcats won. It was a great game! I even got one of the players autographs!" Nathan said happily into the phone.

Haley smiled at his proud tone. "Aw that's great babe. I'm happy for you."

"Thanks! I can't wait to see you tomorrow."

"I know. This was a lot harder than I thought it would be."

"I guess we should be getting used to it..." Nathan sighed into the phone.

"Ugh." Haley groaned. "I don't want to talk about it."

"Right, sorry. Neither do I."

"Well I better go, Brooke planned some type of girl night." Haley said sadly, not wanting to part with Nathan.

"Okay, have fun. I'll miss you."

"I'll miss you too."

"Have a good night babe." Nathan sighed.

"You too. Bye."

"Bye."

Nathan waited to make sure Haley hung up first, but he didn't hear a dial tone.

"Hales? Are you still there?"

"Yeah."

"Why didn't you hang up?"

"I don't want to." Haley admitted softly.

"Okay why don't we hang up at the same time?" Nathan suggested.

"Okay."

"Okay on the count of three. 1...2...3-"

Neither Haley nor Nathan hung up.

"You hang up first." Haley stated.

"No you hang up first." Nathan flirted back.

"You."

"No, you."

"I don't wanna." Haley wined.

"I always hang up last, so you have to go first." Nathan stated.

"Fine." Haley relented.

Nathan again, waited for her to hang up, but she never did.

"We're so cheesy." Nathan laughed.

Haley giggled, "So? It's not a bad thing. We're a really cheesy couple mister."

"Good. I like it."

"Okay, I really need to go." Haley pouted. "I'll hang up now."

"Alright. See you tomorrow angel."

"I can't wait! Goodnight!"

"Bye." Nathan smiled into the phone.

"Bye." Haley said sadly.

"Bye."

"SOMEONE HANG UP THE GOD DAMN PHONE ALREADY!" Nathan heard Brooke scream in the background.

"Uh oh, that was Brooke. Got to go, bye!" Haley rushed out and shut her phone.

"You guys are sick!" Brooke shouted as she threw her hands up in the air when Haley walked back into the living room. "Not even Lucas and I are that pathetic."

Haley rolled her eyes, "I'm sorry, I just really miss him. I don't know how I'm going to live with out him..." She pouted.

"Okay enough of this depression! Let's plan our weddings!" Brooke clapped.

"Weddings?" Haley asked. "Last time I checked, none of us were engaged."

"You don't have to be engaged to plan a wedding, silly." Brooke stated as if it was the post obvious thing in the world. "Besides, one day we will be getting married, and this will make everything easier."

Peyton and Haley both laughed but decided to go along with Brooke's crazy ideas.

"So tutor girl, what's your dream wedding like?" Brooke inquired.

Haley shrugged, "I don't know. I've never thought about it."

"Are you kidding me?" Brooke shrieked. "Every single little girl dreams about their perfect wedding. What is wrong with you?"

Haley laughed, "I don't know! I guess I just thought I'd never get married."

"That's nonsense! One day you're going to get married, and you need to know what you want!" Brooke stated. "So. What's your dream proposal?"

Haley pursed her lips and thought hard. "I guess I want something really meaningful. You know? I don't want to get engaged at some restaurant. I want it to be really romantic, but nothing crazy. So I guess maybe the place we had our first date, or something like that."

"Aw! I approve!" Brooke gushed. "What about you Peyt?"

"I agree with Hales. I want a cute proposal. It should happen once, so I want it to be perfect."

"Yay! I see I'm rubbing off on you girls. Okay, next question: Where do you want to actually tie the knot?"

Haley smiled, "The beach. I love the beach!"

"That's so romantic!"

"I think I'd want to get married in a church." Peyton piped in.

"Me too." Brooke gushed.

"Okay, what's your description of a dream husband?" Peyton asked.

"Lucas Scott." Brooke smiled.

Haley laughed, "Um... My dream husband is someone who puts me first, and protects me. Someone who loves me for me. Someone who is easy to joke around with, and who will never be boring. He obviously has to be cute, Preferably short dark hair, blue eyes- I love blue eyes- Athletic, caring- I love guys with big hearts- someone who can bring the crazy side out of me, umm, sweet, loving, and good with kids..."

"So, Nathan." Brooke pointed out.

Haley blushed deeply, but remained quiet.

"Yeah Hales, you basically just described Nathan." Peyton stated.

"Did I really?" Haley asked.

"Yup." Brooke declared.

"Okay maybe I did... I'm not saying I'm going to marry him, but maybe, just maybe, one day, I would like to. I mean, he is my dream guy..."

"AWWW!" Brooke squealed.

Haley blushed and hid her face behind her hands. She was wearing Nathan's over sized sweatshirt, so she pulled the neckline up to cover her rosy cheeks.

"What's your dream dress?" Peyton asked.

"Hmm, something simple and lace? And a simple, vale. " Haley answered.

"Cute!" Brooke exclaimed. "Okay, what's your dream ring look like?"

"Something simple, but a decent size, still classy, but you know, shiny, because what girl doesn't like shiny things?" Haley laughed. "But I wouldn't mind getting like a grandmothers ring, because that's really special and cute."

The rest of the night, the girls planned their dream weddings, and pictured their futures with their dream guys, hoping that one day the stories they made up would actually happen.

"Dude stop pacing, you're making me dizzy." Nathan joked as Lucas continued to pace around the small room that the groomsman were getting ready in.

"I'm sorry, I'm just nervous."

"Why? You're about to marry the love of your life. You've been wanting this since you were thirteen. Why the hell are you nervous?" Nathan questioned.

"I don't know, I just am." Lucas admitted.

"Pussy." Nathan mumbled.

"Shut up, I bet if you were in my shoes right now you'd be nervous too." Lucas shot back.

Nathan rolled his eyes, "It's a good thing I'm never getting married then."

"So even if Haley was wearing a white dress, you wouldn't marry her?" Lucas asked.

Nathan shrugged, "I can't think like that anymore, because it's never going to happen. And if I don't marry her, I'm not marrying anyone, so yes, I'm dying alone."

"Hey don't be a debby downer on the happiest day of my life." Lucas smiled.

Nathan laughed, "You're right. Sorry. I'm proud of you man. I'd like to think we're brothers, instead of cousins. You're also my best friend. I'm happy you found love. Brooke is an amazing girl, and you deserve the best. So go and marry her, and give me a bunch of nieces or nephews." Nathan said genuinely.

Lucas laughed and pulled Nathan in for a tight embrace. "Thank you, man. I couldn't have asked for a better cousin. I know we like to get under eachothers skin, but I don't know what I'd do with out you. And don't worry man, you'll find happiness one day, whether it's with Haley or not. Everything works out in the end."

Nathan smiled and patted Lucas on the back. "Thanks. Now go get your girl."

Lucas smiled and walked to his spot on the alter as he anxiously waited for Brooke to walk down the aisle. Nathan stood next to him, just as anxious, waiting to see Haley.

"You ready?" Haley asked Brooke as she waited behind the closed doors of the church.

"I've been ready since I was sixteen." Brooke joked to lighten her nerves.

"Just think, when you walk out this door, you're going to be Brooke Penelope Scott."

"Yeah and hopefully next year you'll be Haley Bob Scott." Brooke smiled.

Haley laughed lightly, and the sound of an organ playing, boomed through the church walls, signaling that the ceremony was about to start.

Lucas' little sister, Lilly, was now nine years old, and wanted to be the flower girl. She was the first one to walk down the aisle and everyone in the church let out a long "aww".

Haley was next to make the long trip down the aisle. She trailed behind Lilly about ten feet, and smiled polietely as she passed the friends and family members of Brooke and Lucas. She made sure to throw in a 'flirtatious' wink to Chase, just in case Nathan was watching.

And he most definitely saw the wink.

Nathan's fists instinctively balled at his sides. He felt his blood boiling with rage, and his jaw clenched. His heart was pounding furiously in his chest- not because he was angry- but because his eyes finally lingered over Haley, and he felt the drool piling in his mouth, and his jaw practically hit the floor. She always had this effect on him. He couldn't help but think- or hope, rather- that one day, Haley would be wearing the white dress and making the long trek down the aisle, to start the journey to forever with him. He quickly shook that thought from his mind. He couldn't and wouldn't allow himself to go there. Especially not today. As much as he wanted to, Nathan could not take his eyes off of Haley. She was stunning, beautiful, gorgeous, and basically every other synonym of those words.

Haley looked up from her bouquet of roses and was met with a pair of dazzling blue eyes. Her stomach flipped, and her heart felt as if it was going to leap through her chest. She bit down nervously on her lip, and no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't look away from Nathan's intense stare. For a brief moment, she thought about what it would be like if she was wearing the white dress, and meeting Nathan at the alter. Her eyes bore into Nathan's, and his eyes stayed fixed on her brown ones. Haley couldn't help but smile. Upon seeing Haley's bodacious smile, Nathan felt the corner of his mouth tugging slightly upwards. There was something about Haley James, and no matter how upset he was, he was still drawn to her. She was like a magnet, and he couldn't pull away. The magnet was fate's way of telling them they belonged together.

Lucas looked between Nathan and Haley, and couldn't help but chuckle. Nathan had his mouth shaped like an 'o', and was basically drooling. Haley had a dreamy look in her eyes, and she looked like a love sick teenager. Lucas quickly elbowed Nathan in the stomach, before the drool actually started dripping. Nathan quickly diverted his gaze from Haley and looked around the church to make sure no one saw him starring at Haley.

Alex also saw the way her date was starring at the maid of honor, and was not happy about it at all. She made a mental note to do something about it later...

Haley was so wrapped up in Nathan's gaze, that she didn't even realize she made it to the end of the aisle and she tripped forward, stumbling into Nathan's arms.

Nathan was caught off guard by Haley's sudden fall, but he was there to catch her.

"Whoa. Are you alright?" He whispered loudly.

Haley bit her lip and tried everything not to stare into Nathan's eyes again. She felt her cheeks burn a furious shade of red.

"I..um...yeah...perfect...great...okay...bye." She stuttered and quickly ran to her spot on the alter.

Nathan lightly chuckled and went back to stand next to Lucas.

The organ started to play louder, and suddenly the entire church stood up, as the doors opened and revealed Brooke in her beautiful wedding gown.

This time, it was Lucas' turn to stare as his beautiful, soon to be wife, floated down the aisle, with a teary eyed smile. Lucas himself, felt tears prickle behind his eyes.

For the entire ceremony, Nathan didn't pay attention at all. His eyes stayed on Haley the entire time. Haley on the other hand, tried everything in her power, not to look at Nathan. She looked at everything BUT Nathan. If she looked at him, she would have probably thrown herself in his arms and start kissing him, but she couldn't do that.

The entire wedding, Haley was zoning out, and at one point she met Alex Dupre's death stare, and she wanted to roll her eyes.

Haley finally came down the earth when Lucas and Brooke were reciting their vows.

"Do you Lucas Eugene Scott take thee Brooke Penelope Davis to have and to hold, in sickness and in health, to death do you part?"

"I do, I do, I do." Lucas smiled.

"Do you Brooke Penelope-"

"I DO!" She shouted, making everyone laugh,

"Alright then... the priest chuckled, "It is now with power invested in me by the state of North Carolina, to pronounce you husband and wife. Lucas you may now kiss your bride."

"Finally!" He smirked, and leaned down to capture Brooke's lips into a tantalizing kiss.

Haley clapped loudly as she watched the happy couple in front of her, praying the reception would go as quick as the ceremony did.

Nathan also stood by his cousin Lucas, and clapped for the newlyweds, while on the inside, he was dying for this day to end.

I PROMISE you, next chapter will be the chapter you've all been waiting for! It will have a ton of drama, and lots of surprises ;) I hope to have it up by the weekend!

I know I promised you drama, but I had to split the wedding and the reception otherwise it would have gotten too confusing. Hope you don't mind!
