Haley walked round the back of Karen's cafe to Karen and Craigs apartment door. It had been a few days since she had seen Craig face to face and it was time they tried to sort things out. She walked up to the door and stopped, taking a deep breath she knocked three times and waited for Craig to answer the door. She began to twirl her hair the thing she always did when she was nervous.

Craig had been laid down on his bed, throwing a small soft ball up and down. He always seemed to do that when he had a lot on his mind. A weird sort of habit really. God, his feelinsg were all over the place. He had been purposfully avoiding Haley for the past couple of days trying to get his head straight and now he felt old strings twinging for Rachel again. Strangely, his crush on Beth seemed to have passed. To make things even more hectic, Essie likefd him- liked him more than just a friend.
Really, he had no idea what to do, no idea who to talk to about it all. Craig couldn't speak to his mother about Haley, she was too close to Haley and would proberly just tell him that he was supposed to be with her. But seriously, he wasn't so sure about that anymore.
Upon hearing the doorbell, he caught the soft ball and placed it on his bed and stood up, stretching his arms behind his head. He was dressed only in a pair of trousers with no shirt on, it was a warm day. Opening the door, he lookd at the girl he'd been avoiding for the last few days and smiled at her faintly. Then stepped to the side to let her in.
"Hey Hales..."

He felt terrible, how come he was feeling this way? Loads of guys would kill to have Haley as a girlfriend but Craig just didn't feel the same way anymore. He remembered what rachel had told him after he'd gone to her for advice. Love dose not always last for ever Craig, remember that.
He shut the door behind her and gave her a quick hug, not really girlfriend boyfriendish more friend like.
"No, I was just in my room. Uhh, where do you wanna go?" He'd still do anything for Haley, even if it meant risking everything for her, he still acred about her alot.

Haley couldnt help but feel sad and scared part of her wanted to run, run as far away as she could from Crystal Falls but another part of her told her to confront Craig and face their troubles. She moved further into the house and stopped byt the kitchen, "Craig im sorry...im sorry about everything and what I said and what happened" she blurted out as she continued twirling her hair.

Seeing her edge towards the kitchen, Craig followed her in and pulled two chairs out for the two of them.
"Uh you want a drink or anything?" Then he heard what she had to say , he didn't smile or say anything in return for a few moments he was just, trying to gather his thoughts.
"Haley, I know and Im really sorry too. But, im just not sure anymore... I just." He sighed and kept his eye sight everywhere except her. "I just, don't feel the same about us anymore."

Haley could sense this coming but it still tore her up inside it was like she literally felt her heart break. "Craig im sorry but I have to ask this...is there someone else..." she didnt want to hear the answer but she had to ask before it ate her up inside.

He sat down on the chair opposite her and placed his hands on the table. How could he blurt out and say he liked Rae again? Haley and Rachel were close and he didn't want to jeprodise their friendship but he knew he couldn't lie to Haley.
"Uhh... I can't lie to you Haley but their is someone else. But promise me we can stay friends? i don't think i could live without you in my life." He had managed to dodge saying the name, but he guessed Haley would get it out of him eventually.

Haley turned her back to him and sighed, running her hands through her hair she felt a few tears creep from her eyes and fall down her rosy cheeks. She kept her back to him but she hadnt finished yet, "who is it....is it someone I know...its Beth isnt it?" she asked, she had these feelings that something was going on between them but little did she know the shock that was about to come.

He stole a look at her and looked away when he saw the hurt in her face, he felt teribble. just breaking up with her out of the blue like this, it just wasn't him. He wondered where she'd got Beth from, sure he had had some mixed feelings about her but t had just been at that.
"No it's not Beth... It's... It's Rachel." His voice was quiet and sounded as if it was going through the stages of breaking. But that was years behind him.

Haley span round when she heard that name "Rachel?" she shouted "as in one of my closest friends Rachel as in your ex Rachel" her voice was now louder than it had been in a long time. She couldnt believe this was happening she didnt know what to say, tears began to fall down her cheeks faster. "Have you two...have you..." she couldnt say the words but she had to know if they'd slept together or kissed or anything she would never forgive them if they'd been together behing her back.

Ahh... crap. He ran a hand through his already messy hair and shut his eyes for a moment before re-opening them. He hadn't meant for anything to end up like this. He couldn't help but raise his voice back at her.
"Look hales, i know she's my ex alright? Don't you think I've already thought this all through? My heads all over the place right now and you wanted to know. i couldn't exactly lie to you now could I?" He leant back in his chair and crossed his arms over his chest.
Hearing what she had said, or rather what she was beginning to say he looked her straight in the eye.
"Haley lovell, do you know either of us? God, of course not. I wouldn't do that to you and..." He sighed, trying to get over the fact she'd actually said that. Then he raised his voice slightly to her, "So , you don't have feeling's for anyone else?" He had his suspicions, but they were just suspicions... no evidence.

{{Ooohh throwing it back at her, I reckon u shud mention Ethan too cos theyre like best best friends and now hes living at her house lol}}
Haley was suprised by his reaction and releaved nothing was going on with him and Rae...yet. She turned away unable to look him in the eye. She soon changed her mind and span round yet again when he said what he did, "whats that supposed to mean?" she asked, she had to admit to herself that she had beginning to question her feelings for Jeremy but she had been denying them to herself and she wasnt sure what she felt.

(( Haha, what else was I meant to say and will do...  )) Atleast she hadn't said any more on the subject on rae, the last thing he wanted was Haley arguing with Rachel over the matter. She didn't even know she liked him! "What's that supposed to mean?" Craig felt like a jerk but he couldn't help but say it. "Do you see and girls walking around here? A bit like Ethan living with you now?" he wasn't all taht worried about Ethan truthfully, he knew who Ethan liked. It was more Jeremy on his mind, but he just felt like he couldn't ask her about that. |

"What!!" she shouted loudly "I can believe you would say that Ethan is like my brother he needed somewhere to stay what was i supposed to say...youre my best friend and I love you but no its the streets for you!" She wondered what else was on his mind, "Craig I know you something else is on your mind...whats going on?" she asked her voice still loud but more controlled than before.
