If you know anything about me, you know that I love One Tree Hill. I can tell you the first episode I ever saw. I can tell you which song played in which scene, I can quote literally hundreds of lines from it. I've seen each season at least twice.
My favorite thing about the show is the relationships. Between the lovers, friends, parents. One of my favorite relationships is "Baley." Brooke, spastic beautiful cheerleader, and Haley, quiet, awkward nerd girl.
If I were to tell you about my best friend, this is what I would tell you. She is my Haley James Scott. She is not quiet, or awkward, but she is somewhat nerdy ;). Like Haley, she is kind, and giving. She is always there with sage advice and understanding.
I am Brooke Davis, folks. Loud and crazy and such a daredevil. Boy crazy. Flirtatious. Fashionista.A little too naive, but strong and resilient and emotional. And when I have no one else, I have my Haley, right there on the corner of Grace Street. Like Brooke and Haley, who met in highschool, we too met when we were..younger and we have grown and evolved together, bending but never breaking, just growing into the women we are today. The friends we are today.
There are times when I don't want to talk, I can't talk, and she respects that. There are times when she needs me and I am there to be that comedic relief with my crazy antics and stories to calm her down or make her smile.
Haley James Scott is gentle, and always encouraging. Creative. Always inspiring and urging you to put your best foot forward and follow your heart. I can't think of better qualities for a friend to have.
"And now she's my best friend."
I can't tell you when it happened. I remember us growing closer and closer with texts and calls but I can't define a moment that made me realize how special she is to me. All I know is that she is, and I love her. We live miles apart and I miss her every day, but despite the distance we make it work. Like Brooke and Haley, we will continue growing together. We will see each other and time will pass and we'll see each other again. In times of despair, we'll be each other's rock and laughter and encouragement. In times of happiness, we'll be there sharing in each other's joy. True Friendship is the 8th wonder of the world, growing stronger over time instead of weaker, withstanding many, many things.
The season ended with Brooke and Haley growing older together and accepting life's changing seasons. That's all I can hope for us, is in ten years to be as close as we are now, if not closer. Watching our own kids form their life long friendships.
"And now she's my best friend."...for always<3
