I feel a bit sad that Lucas and Haley aren't the friends they once were anymore, it's believable, and it works, but the laley-friendship-fangirl heart in me breaks. I'm liking the paley-ness though, it's a friendship in the show that had alot of potential until they messed with it.
I know I may get crucified for saying this as a naley fan, but I do often think that maybe they should have been apart for a while after everything that happen their junior year. They were just so young, and stuck in a pattern of making mistakes after mistakes. Of course as a raised on disney girl I love the true love beats all mentality, but the realist in me hates all that was unresolved. They were children when they got married, they're not going to be the same person at 17 they were at 16, never mind 20, 25 and so on. Okay so I'm rambling on about things that aren't your story but to link it in I'm intrigued to see what will happen when they meet up again and see the people they've grown into.
From the small snippet we got of Deb she seems to care about Haley, and genuinely be happy that she's making something of herself, even if it seems Nathan is not. I wonder if she'll see Haley as Nathan's saviour while she's in town and push them both toward something they're not ready for.
If you update this story again so quickly I'll be a very very happy girl! Update when you can!
It was kind of back and forth with how I wanted to write the Luke/Haley friendship. I just ultimately felt that when you go off to college, you change. Like, most people fundamentally change in some way (and I'm not saying it's a bad thing in the slightest), and that as a result, your friendships change too. That's what I saw happening there. And hopefully you'll continue to enjoy all things H/P. (I typed that without the slash, and all I saw was Harry Potter, so I had to fix it. Heh.)
I agree, in a lot of ways. Really, why is the divorce rate so high? Because, as people get older, they change. And they don't always change together. While I'm never opposed to NH get together at 16 and stay that way forever (after lots of heartache and whatnot) stories - and I've written a couple! - in the real world, it is hard to imagine a scenario where that could work. Yeah, I know what you mean!
