Haley's mind was clear, anytime that she thought of Peyton, she would close her eyes and think of Brooke. What would Brooke Davis do? Well, she would have done a lot more to Peyton if she was here but she wasn't. And that was going to stick on Haley like gum on the bottom of her shoe. Haley didn't want to ever see Peyton again, and if she did, she felt like she would throw up. She had to turn the other chapter in her life and move on. This wasn't going be easy but knowing that Peyton killed Brooke, it wasn't going to happen.
"Sooo, about last night?" Millie stood beside her, putting the napkins on the tables. Haley was organizing the flowers that were on the small tables. She loved how this place turned out. They had come a long way from where they started.
"I feel bad," Haley immediately said to Millie. Millie was surprised how forward Haley was being but she didn't understand what Haley was feeling bad for.
"About what?" Millie now realized what Haley was meaning, she had this judgemental look on her face.
"Hitting Peyton..." Haley turned around, going behind the counter. "It wasn't called for," Haley started to look for the flower. Millie didn't understand where this was coming from but she understood why Haley was feeling bad.
"Brooke wouldn't want you to do that," Millie guessed.
"Exactly." Haley sharply turned around, having a disappointed look on her face. Millie bit her lip, she didn't want to say anything.
"When are you going to tell Lucas about the thing?" Millie whispered, knowing that there was people are them. Haley leaned forward to Millie.
"I don't want to talk about the thing." Haley whispered, looking around, making sure that no one was watching them.
"We have to talk about the thing because the thing is still here." Millie whispered. "We can't keep doing this. We have to-" Millie tried to tell Haley.
"I just have to get her parents okay and then..." Haley tried to finish telling her but she saw Peyton walk into the cafe. Everyone stared at her, gasping in aw. Peyton stood there, liking the attention that people were giving her. She was changed person, she was different know since what happened with Brooke.
"The famous murderer." Peyton said to them, some people got up and walked out but the others gave her stares until she felt a slight burn in her back from them staring at her. Peyton walked over to Millie and Haley. Peyton stared at millie, noticing that she was pregnant. "Whose the father?" Peyton raised her eyebrows.
"It's mouth," Millie said angrily, she grabbed a cloth and quickly walked away. Peyton looked back at Haley, seeing how angry she looked.
"You gave me a few days," Peyton shrugged her shoulders.
"And you are using those few days to make people hate you more?" Haley asked her. Peyton doesn't care about people think anymore. Since she left this town, she had to get tough and speak her mind. She wasn't going to let people walk all over her anymore. "What are you doing here?" Haley asked her.
"I came to make my peace." Peyton said to her, hoping that Haley would agree.
"I don't want to make peace with you, Peyton. I don't want anything to do with you." Haley said to her, Haley started to stack the flower behind the counter. She didn't want to punch Peyton in the face anymore.
"I know I screwed up-" Peyton tried to explain to her.
"You did more than screwed up Peyton, you killed my best friend." Haley yelled at her, she cleared her throat. Everyone turned around and looked at her. They were all silent, they weren't going to rescue Peyton because she deserved it.
"You were never her best friend," Peyton snared, crossing her arms.
"And you were?" Haley removed herself from behind the counter and stood in front of Peyton. She wanted to make sure that Peyton was listening to words that were coming from her mouth. "You didn't do a single thing for Brooke, nothing. All you did was make her life a living hell. You stabbed her in the back." Haley turned around, angrily whipping the tables off.
"It was more of a push but..." Peyton could see that joke wasn't funny. "I was more of a friend to her than you were." Peyton said to her. Haley didn't care because she knew what her relationship with Brooke was about. Peyton could say that she was her best friend but she wasn't and Haley knew that more than anyone else. "It wasn't my fault that Brooke doesn't talk to me anymore. The day she died, she called me over to probably yell in my face about Lucas." Peyton rolled her eyes. Haley couldn't take it anymore, Peyton knew nothing about Brooke.
"She didn't invite you to yell at you! She was going to tell you that she had cancer!" Haley yelled in Peyton's face. The whole cafe became quiet, all eyes were on Haley and Peyton. Peyton was shocked that Haley yelled at her, she didn't see Haley this angry. "She had a tumor in her chest. And she wanted to tell you for whatever reason. That's why she wrote those letters and made those videos...she knew that she was going to die." Haley shrugged her shoulders, not really wanting to know the reason why.
"Well, maybe I can find out." Peyton pulled out the CD from her back pocket. Haley didn't understand why Brooke would make Peyton a CD. "I bet you didn't get one of these because Brooke loved me...I was her best friend." Peyton said to her. Haley rolled her eyes, she was too tired to go back and forth with Peyton. She turned around, whipping the counter off.
"Get out," Millie walked up to Peyton, she was burning with anger. She had a lot of words for Peyton but she didn't want to stress herself out because she was almost a few weeks away from having her baby. Peyton narrowed her eyebrows. She was still standing there, in front of Millie. "Get the hell out!" Millie pointed to the door, she didn't even realize that she had yelled. Peyton walked out of the cafe without another word. Millie felt better since she yelled at Peyton. There were slight claps in the room. Millie walked over to Haley, still whipping the counter that seemed spotless. "Are you okay?" Millie rubbed Haley's back. Haley huffed, throwing the cloth to the back and covered her eyes. She wasn't okay and she didn't think that she ever will be until Brooke was back.
"Were doing the thing, screw the parents." Haley whispered to Millie. Millie stood up, knowing that this was a dangerous road that Haley wanted to go on but this was for someone they loved and Millie would go with Haley until the end of the road.
