Haley and Brooke were over at Lucas and Peyton's, helping Peyton with wedding plans. It's been couple of weeks already since Haley and Nathan came home from Atlanta. Haley does love her family and it nice seeing them all this Thanksgiving, she was definitely happy to be home. While they all were helping Peyton with the wedding plans, Haley started to think about the future, and what her life is gonna be like with Nathan. Even though Haley loves Nathan and would love to spend the rest of her life with him. She's just not sure if he would actually ask her to marry him or would even consider it. They haven't even talked about it, and Haley is now starting to wonder if it's too soon to talk about marriage since they've only been dating for almost six months now.

" Is your dad coming to the wedding?" Brooke asked breaking Haley's thoughts.

" He's not sure, he says that he wants to. But it all depends on if he can actually make it home for it." Peyton answers with a shrug. Peyton would love to have Larry come to her wedding and give her way, but she would understand if he can't make it.

Brooke nods her head in understanding as she looked over at Haley." So, Hales. When is Nathan coming home?"

A smile spread across Haley's face as she answered Brooke's question." He's coming home tomorrow. He and Clay are in LA but he said they should be home hopefully by tomorrow night." Nathan has been gone for two weeks and Haley can't wait till he's home again tomorrow night.

" Oh, are you guys still coming to Tric tonight, to hear Mia perform tonight?" Peyton has been in the studio working on Mia's new album and tonight Mia's gonna perform a few of her new songs tonight, and Peyton is excited for tonight.

" I gotta check the store, and I might have to close tonight. But I will definitely be there." Brooke answered as she was also excited to watch Mia perform at Tric.

" You know I will be there, since I'm working behind the bar tonight." Haley answered with a chuckle.

After the girls got done with the wedding plans. Haley checked the time on her cell." Well, ladies as much as I love hanging out with you two. I sorta promised Luke that I would help him with the afternoon rush at the cafe." She said as she grabs her purse and car keys as she got up from the couch and waved her friends good bye before walking out the door.


After the last customer left the cafe and while Haley wiped down the counter, she looked up as she noticed someone walking into the cafe as she heard the bell chime above the door." Hello and welcome to Karen's cafe." She greeted the customer that just walked in.

" Are you still open? " The customer asked as she walked up to the counter as she set her purse down.

" Well, actually I'm closing up now."

" Oh, I can I still get some coffee to go?"

Haley nods her head as she walked over to the coffee machine and grabs the go to cup and poured some coffee. " You look kinda familiar, have we met somewhere?" Haley asked with curious as she kept staring at the woman as she can't help but feel she's seen the woman somewhere before.

The woman shook her head." No, I don't think so. I've only been in Tree Hill for almost a month now." She said as she pulled out a credit card from her wallet and hands it over to Haley as soon as she took the coffee from Haley.

Haley nods her head as she swipe the credit card into a machine." How are you liking Tree Hill so far?"

" It's an okay town, but I'm only here to make sure my ex boyfriend actually takes an DNA test." The woman answered with a shrug as she took a sip of her coffee.

Haley looked at the woman as she suddenly realized who she was and it was Nathan who she was talking about. But Haley didn't say anything as she knew if she were to say something, it turned into a argument or even worse, so far now Haley just pretend she had no idea who the woman was talking about or who she was.

Haley cleared her throat as she plants a smile across her face even though it was fake." Well, I hope he'll step up do the right thing." Inside Haley knows that there's no way Nathan is the father of Rachel's daughter, and a DNA test will approve that.

Rachel nods her head in agreement." So do I, thanks for the coffee. Have a nice night." She said as she turned around and walked out the cafe with her coffee.

Haley stayed behind the bar as she watched Rachel walking out of her cafe. Haley exhales deeply as she pulled out her cell and quickly sent Nathan a text. Letting him know that Rachel was just in her cafe, and that's she is still in Tree Hill, and have been for about a month now. The moment the text was sent Haley quickly grabbed her stuff and walked out of the cafe after she turned over the closed sign.

Haley can't believe that Rachel had the audacity to walk into her cafe, especially after the drama she caused with Nathan. What's even worse than anything is, that the bitch is still in Tree Hill. Haley knows there's something else going on. She knows there's more than what Rachel told her. Rachel is still in Tree Hill for another reason, and Haley is gonna find out what that reason is.


Walking towards the bar at Tric, Haley noticed Chase behind the bar." Hey Chase, sorry I'm a little late." Haley said as she walked behind the bar and set her stuff under the bar, so she can help Chase serve drinks to the customers.

" Everything okay?" Chased asked with concern as he never thought Haley being the type of person to be late for anything, even if it's working behind a bar serving drinks to customers all night.

Haley nods her head as she poured a glass of wine for a customer." Everything is fine Chase, It just took me a little longer to close up. That's all." Haley answered with a shrug as she hopes that Chase doesn't ask anymore questions and just drops the subject.

Chase Watches Haley for a moment as he can feel in his gut that's there's something she's not telling him." Look, I know I'm not Lucas and that we're not close or anything. But I'm a good listener Hales, and I'm here just you wanna talk. "

Haley looks over at Chase as she gave him a friendly smile." I know, and I appreciate it Chase. Thanks. " She said as she turned and walked towards the corner of the bar to serve more drinks. Haley knows that Chase is a good listener and yeah she probably could talk to Chase about whatever is going on. But not with this, she can't even tell her best friend about what's going on because if she was to tell Lucas about why Rachel is still in town, then Lucas would force Nathan to take the DNA test. Which Nathan should, but only if he chooses to.

Haley's thoughts were suddenly broken as soon as she heard the whole crowd cheering, Haley looked up as she watched Mia walking up to the microphone with her guitar and started to sing once the band started to play. As Haley watched Mia doing her thing on stage, and just listen to the music, Haley's worries about Rachel and the whole DNA test started to fade away.

Nathan is coming home tomorrow and Haley knows that they're going have this conversation. But for tonight, all.Haley wants to do is to enjoy some great music and never have to worry about any kinda drama. That's tomorrow's problem.
