Forever. One Word. Three syllables. Who knew the meaning of it would turn out to be just as short? Certainly not Nathan. Not after he had turned himself inside out for her. Left Haley for her, the only person who had seen the good in him.
Because, let's face it Brooke hated him, on the good days. But they had something special, something others didn't understand. They didn't understand it themselves really. But gravity always seemed to pull them back to each other, so eventually he just gave in.
But, now watching her kiss his half brother, blissfully unaware of his presence, he begins to wonder if everyone was right. That the blood and grime under his finger nails from hanging on and fighting for them was just a waste, that all the late nights spent cussing and crying should have really been spent in Haley's arms.
After all, they were oil and water. Brooke was the hard choice. Haley was the easy one. But, was that really a ligament reason to settle? He was pretty sure they would forever be entangled in someway, because they had been cursed. They were soul mates.
They were two sides of the same coin, which meant they were always stuck together. Yet, they could never see eye to eye, or effectively hold each other. They were just back to back, stuck there.
Tonight, she would go home with his brother, pretend that she belonged with the not so damaged Scott brother. Then she would come home, to him. She always did, she had no choice.
They make romantic movies about finding the one, well Nathan found her, and he thought it was just a bunch of bullshit.
