Reunion

Chapter 5

The next couple of weeks were more of the same as far as rehearsals went. On April 15th, the tour dates were posted "@AmericanIdol: We are gearing up for our first reunion tour in 15 Seasons, Check out your favorite American Idol Season 10 contestant on the road starting on June 17th in Orlando, Florida, tickets are onsale starting May 20th, so get your tickets fast!" . The fans were immediately excited. They had waited 5 years to see the season 10 crop again.

"Holy shit my twitter is going crazy," Haley laughed seeing all the fans tweeting how excited they were to see her and what tour stop they might be attending. "Mine too," Lauren giggled. Haley and Lauren were told they would be roommates for this tour and they couldn't be more excited. They hadn't seen each other in ages so they had a lot of catching up to do. "So tell me about you and Casey...how you guys started dating," Lauren giggled. "Well...as you know I moved in with Casey after the break up with Stefano. Well....things were kind of complicated between us at first..." Haley said. "How so?" Lauren asked. "Well we started out as friends at first....then...one night....Valentines Day to be exact....I was just kind of sad and lonely," Haley began.

"Happy freaking Valentine's Day to me...forever alone I will be...Geez I hate being musical," Haley huffed to herself as she walked down the streets of LA, seeming to see a happy couple everywhere she turned. It had only been a few months since her breakup with Stefnao but he was constantly calling her, begging her to get back with him. Saying he was sorry that he could change, things would be different this time. 'Bullshit' Haley thought to herself. She was through living in Stefano's games even though she still wasn't over him, she was most certainly not going back to him.

"Hey...." Casey smiled when they bumped into each other "Hey there...aww who are those roses for? They're beautiful," Haley smiled smelling them. "Actually....they're for you...I figured you'd need something to cheer you up...." Casey began. "Aww Casey...Thank you...those are my favorite Red Roses," Haley smiled taking them. "Well I couldn't have you be down, could I?" Casey winked as they walked off together....the roses made Haley happy for a minute until she truly realized she was still alone.

"Aww...why the long face Hales?" Casey asked. "It's just..." Haley began stopping herself shaking her head "No...it's nothing..." "It's something Reinhart...you just look so sad...I hate seeing you down," Casey said. "Well....if you must know...it's my first Valentine's Day alone....ever," Haley sighed. "You mean you've always had a date?" Casey said bewildered. "Yep....even in Kindergaten I had a boyfriend," Haley laughed. "Wow Reinhart that's something.....how about I be your date?" Casey grinned. "Casey...that's really sweet of you and everything but....are you sure you can handle just being my date for a day? I remember how hard it was on you the last time we..." Haley began. "I can handle it...I promise," Casey smiled, trying to help Haley out anyway he could. "Okay....I guess I've got a date," Haley grinned as they made their way home.

"That doesn't seem messy to me...." Lauren began. "Well Lala...if you let me finish I can show you where it gets messy," Haley laughed. "Sorry....sorry...it was just really adorable that he offered to be your date," Lauren giggled. "It sure was...now where was I," Haley said as she found her way back to where she was in the story.

When they got back they had a cute little dinner date, Haley had made the food. "Wow that was really good Hales," Casey smiled. "Thanks..." Haley giggled as she took another glass of wine. "Hales...are you sure you should be having that?" Casey began. "I can handle my liquor Casey...I've never been overly drunk have I?" Haley huffed. "Well no but..." Casey began. "But what huh? You think I'm going to get wasted because I'm still down about today because I'm not," Haley snapped after finishing her 3rd glass.

She drank and drank some more. "Okay Hales...I have to cut you off," Casey said. "Nooooooo," Haley giggled trying to get the wine bottle back "You're mean." "No I'm not I'm doing this for your own good Haley..." Casey sighed. She was drinking again. She had a bit of a problem with it on those night when she felt the most alone since Stefano. He knew she was at a high risk today which was why he offered to be her date...to keep things from getting out of hand but she wouldn't listen to reason tonight....not like the last few times.
