The Man Who Can't Be Moved

Author's Note: This one shot is inspired by the amazing song "The Man Who Can't Be Moved" by The Script. Another story I read used this song for a one shot but I am doing this Naley style (of course). I should update my other stories but I had to get this out of my head before I did that. So enjoy and leave awesome reviews as always.

Nathan's POV

Going Back to the corner where I first saw you
Gonna camp in my sleeping bag I'm not gonna move
Got some words on cardboard, got your picture in my hand
Saying, "If you see this girl can you tell her where I am?"

My sleeping bag and I have been camped out on this corner for two weeks now. When I wake up, I hold up the cardboard with words on it and her picture in my hand. I ask every person that walks by if they see her can they tell her where I am. I have never felt this way about anyone before, but Haley James was no ordinary girl. I will never forget the day we first met (well sort of met).

Flashback

3 Weeks Earlier

Karen's Café is run by Karen Roe and my mother Deb Scott. One day I was eating lunch there and I noticed a lot of commotion going on outside. The paparazzi were swarming everywhere and I wondered why they were outside. A second later, a limousine pulled up and my eyes almost popped out of their sockets. Why was multi-platinum singer Haley James coming into Karen's Café?

"I am so sorry for the commotion outside. I just heard about this place and I had to come in to see for myself," Haley apologized as she came inside.

"It's not trouble at all. We do not get too many celebrities around here. I am Deb, part owner of Karen's Café. It's a pleasure to meet you Ms. James," my mom extended her welcome to Haley.

"Please, call me Haley. So what is good to eat at this wonderful café?" she asked.

"Here, have a seat and I will get you a menu. You can chat with my son Nathan," my mom led Haley to where I was sitting and winked at me before going into the kitchen.

I stood up and my eyes locked with Haley's and I swear I could see my future in them. Wait, what the hell am I thinking? Haley is a famous singer and I am nobody.

"Hey I'm Nathan. It is really nice to meet you," I stammered out feeling very nervous for some odd reason.

"It's nice to meet you as well. I take it you are a fan of my music?" she spoke as we shook hands.

I don't know if she felt the spark the moment our fingers touched like I did, but I knew there was something special about this woman. I could feel it in my heart.

"I was at your concert last night in the front row. I am definitely a fan of your music," I said still feeling pretty nervous.

"Do you have a favorite song?" she asked with a grin on her face.

"My favorite song would have to be 'Halo' because even though the song talks about imperfections, I think you are perfect in every way," I blurted out and realized I just embarrassed myself and Haley.

Her cheeks turned a rosy red color and I wanted to kick myself for saying something so stupid.

"Damn, that totally came out wrong. I'm sorry if I made you feel uncomfortable," I apologized feeling like a total idiot.

"No you didn't make me feel uncomfortable. It was actually a very sweet compliment. I haven't been around non-famous a lot so I forget what it's like to be a normal person," she said looking at me with those beautiful chocolate brown eyes.

I swear I could get lost in her eyes and my heart was pounding so loud because Haley is very pretty.

"So Nathan, what do you do besides hit on famous singers?" she joked laughing lightly.

I laughed as well and said to her, "I am the assistant coach for the Tree Hill High Ravens and I am trying to get my own basketball career off the ground."

"That sounds like a rewarding job. You get to be around the sport you obviously love the most and teach the boys the discipline and fun of basketball. I will have to check out a Raven game before I leave town. So are you thinking of becoming a professional basketball player? My brother is an agent for the LA Lakers. He could help you make that dream come true" she said.

God damn it. Haley James was literally going to be the death of me.

"Wow, your family is very talented I guess. That would actually be wonderful if your brother could help me out," I exclaimed feeling very happy.

Haley grabbed a napkin and wrote down her brother's name and his phone number.

"This is the sport's agency he works for. Just ask for Jason Scott and tell him you are a friend of mine. I am his favorite sister so he will definitely help you with your basketball career," she handed me the napkin and I felt the spark again when our fingers touched.

I grabbed onto her hand and we just stared at each other for what felt like a lifetime. We didn't speak a word and the silence was actually comforting.

Unfortunately, the silence was broken by Haley's cell phone. I let go of her hand hesitantly and she answered her phone.

A few minutes later, she hung up the phone and got up very fast.

"I feel bad that I didn't get a chance to try the food, but I have to leave now. I am playing a concert in Charlotte tonight and I have a sound check to get ready for. It was very nice to meet you and I hope my brother can help you," she said before nearly walking out the door.

I followed after her because I needed to ask her something.

The cameras were going off in every direction and I tried to get past the paparazzi.

The limousine pulled up, Haley got in and it sped away very fast.

The paparazzi got into their vehicles and followed after the limo.

I couldn't believe that she was here and gone within a matter of minutes. I know she is every guy's fantasy and I shouldn't have a crush on a celebrity. However, this isn't just a crush for me. I am pretty sure I am in love with her.

I couldn't get her out of my head or my heart. I was absolutely miserable without her. I couldn't eat or sleep because Haley was constantly on my mind. I listened to her music daily because it was the only time I felt absolutely close to her. I pretended that she was singing to me.

A week after we first met, a brilliant idea popped into my head. I had to see her again but I had no idea where she was staying. So I decided to camp out outside of Karen's Café. I would stay there day and night until Haley decided to come back. I know she wanted to try the food and she didn't get a chance to. I hope that my plan would work.

End Flashback

Some try to hand me money, they don't understand
I'm not broke I'm just a broken hearted man
I know it makes no sense but what else can I do
How can I move on when I'm still in love with you

For the past two weeks, I have had numerous people hand me money because they actually believe I am homeless. They don't have a clue because I am not broke; I am just a broken hearted man. So far this plan isn't really working but I do not know what else to do. I am so in love with Haley and I will do anything to be with her.

'cause if one day you wake up and find that you're missing me
And your heart starts to wonder where on this earth I could be
Thinkin maybe you'll come back here to the place that we'd meet
And you'll see me waiting for you on our corner of the street
So I'm not moving, I'm not moving

I hope one day Haley wakes up and finds that she is missing me. Maybe her heart will start to wonder where I could be and I hope she thinks about coming back to Karen's Café. I swear with everything I am that I am not moving until I see Haley again.

Policeman says, "Son you can't stay here"
I said, "There's someone I'm waiting for if it's a day, a month, a year"
Gotta stand my ground even if it rains or snows
If she changes her mind this is the first place she will go

Today, a police officer walked by and said to me, "Son, you can't stay here."

I said to him, "there's someone I'm waiting for it's a day, a month, a year."

"Who exactly are you waiting for? You have been staying in this spot for the past two weeks. Obviously this person doesn't even know you are waiting for them," he said.

"I am waiting for the love of my life officer and I am not moving until she arrives. You can arrest me if you want to, but once I post bail, I will be right back here waiting for her," I spoke from the heart. I was standing my ground and I wasn't going to take no for an answer.

The officer didn't bother arresting me because Deb and Karen vouched for me. They told him I had every right to sit out here if I wanted to. They were not going to press charges against me.

My mom has been bringing me food for the past 2 weeks and I know she is worried about me.

"Nathan, why are you doing this?" she asked.

"Mom, I know this is insane but I have to do this. I have never felt this way about anybody before and I can't let this opportunity pass me by. I know Haley is famous and all, but there is something amazing about her. I can't move from this spot until she comes back here. I need to tell her I am in love with her and I hope she feels the same," I explained.

"Oh Nathan, you only met Haley once. How do you know you are in love with her?" she asked sounding very worried and concerned.

"I can feel it in my heart and when I looked into her eyes, I could see my future in them. I know it sounds insane and weird, but it's the God honest truth. I don't care that she is famous and I am not. Nothing else matters except the fact that I love her and I am going to love her for the rest of my life," I clarified knowing every word is true.

"Wow Nathan, I didn't know you felt this strongly about Haley. Actually, I've never seen you with any girl longer than a week. Why is Haley so different from the other girls you have gone out with? What makes you think she is the one?" she wanted to know.

"She just is Mom. I can't really explain it. She makes my heart race and I get butterflies in my stomach when I think about her. Somehow I know I want a future with her. I would love to make her my wife and make her the mother of my children. It is way too soon to even be thinking about either one of them, but generally speaking I know I want to marry her someday," I admitted.

'cause If one day you wake up and find that you're missing me
And your heart starts to wonder where on this earth I could be
Thinking maybe you'll come back here to the place that we'd meet
And you'll see me waiting for you on our corner of the street
So I'm not moving, I'm not moving,
I'm not moving, I'm not moving

Most people walk by and just stare at me. I know they think I am insane and I can hear them whispering that I am a crazed fan that has nothing better to do.

People talk about the guy that's waiting on a girl
There are no holes in his shoes but a big hole in his world

Haley's POV

I have been sitting in my dressing room playing my guitar for the past hour and I am getting totally frustrated. I've been trying to write a new song, but for some reason I can't. The past two weeks have been very weird because it feels like something is missing in my life. For the life of me, I cannot figure out what that missing thing is. I am a famous singer who gets waited on hand and foot. I have a major following of fans who adore me and my family is totally supportive of my musical career.

I guess the missing thing could be love. Who has time to date though when I am constantly touring and in the studio trying to write a second album? I will admit I wish I had someone to share all this fame with and it would be nice to have someone waiting for me backstage besides my agent and fans.

I needed a break from trying to write a song, so I turned on the TV and the news definitely caught my interest.

Maybe I'll get famous as the man who can't be moved
Maybe you wont mean to but you'll see me on the news
And you'll come running to the corner
'cause you'll know it's just for you
I'm the man who can't be moved

"Good evening, this is Victoria Funk with your local news. The first story tonight is a human interest piece. A young man from Tree Hill has been sitting outside of Karen's Café for the past two weeks waiting for a young woman. This young woman is rumored to be Haley James, the famous singer who is currently in the North Carolina area. We will go to our local correspondent Liz Forward who is outside of Karen's Café as we speak. Liz, what can you tell us about this young man?"

"Hi Vicki, I am here with the 'man who can't be moved' Nathan Scott. Mr. Scott, can you tell me what exactly you are doing?

"Liz, I am standing out here until Haley James comes here so I can tell her exactly how I feel. You all may believe that I just have a stupid crush on her, but this is the real deal for me. Haley, if you are watching this, I am outside of Karen's Café and I am not moving until I can tell you I love you in person. Please if anyone sees Haley, tell her where I am and that I need to talk to her right away."

'cause If one day you wake up and find that you're missing me
And your heart starts to wonder where on this earth I could be
Thinking maybe you'll come back here to the place that we'd meet
And you'll see me waiting for you on our corner of the street
So I'm not moving, I'm not moving,
I'm not moving, I'm not moving

I was absolutely stunned by this. Nathan Scott has been sitting outside of Karen's Café for the past two weeks just for me…..if that isn't love and dedication I don't know what is.

I ran out of my dressing room and begged my agent to take me to Tree Hill. I have to find Nathan and thank him for all that he has done.

Nathan's POV

The Tree Hill Action 3 news interviewed me and I prayed with everything inside of me that Haley was watching it.

I really missed sleeping in my bed and I would like to take a normal shower. For the past two weeks, I have been bathing out of a sink. Also, I miss playing basketball and watching TV. However, these are price to pay to find the love of my life. I will sit out here for the rest of my life waiting for Haley. I just hoped that I wouldn't be eating those words later.

I fell asleep inside of my sleeping bag and I had wonderful dreams about Haley finding me.

I was in the middle of a really awesome dream when someone shook me awake.

"Nathan, wake up," I heard a voice say.

I rubbed my eyes and I swear I really thought I was dreaming. Here standing before me was Haley James, the girl I have been waiting for all of my life.

'cause If one day you wake up and find that you're missing me
And your heart starts to wonder where on this earth I could be
Thinking maybe you'll come back here to the place that we'd meet
And you'll see me waiting for you on our corner of the street
So I'm not moving, I'm not moving,
I'm not moving, I'm not moving

Going back to the corner where I first saw you
Gonna camp in my sleeping bag I'm not gonna move

"Haley, I can't believe you are finally here," I spoke untangling myself from the sleeping bag.

"I wish I would have known sooner. I'm sorry you sat out here for two weeks," she said with tears in her eyes.

"I would have sat out here for the rest of my life. I know this is probably insane and I know you think I am crazy, but I think I am your biggest fan Haley James. I was hoping for an autograph and a kiss," I admitted feeling ecstatic and very brazen.

"Well Mr. Scott, I am your biggest fan too because I think it is so sweet that you sat out here for two weeks for little ol' me. No guy I know would ever do that, so that makes you extra special. However, you are the 'man who can't be moved', how are you going to kiss me?" she spoke seductively.

"I may be the 'man who can't be moved', but you can be the 'woman who caused the man to finally move'," I chuckled lightly.

Haley began to laugh as well. Our laughter died shortly because I pulled her into my arms and our lips crashed together in a passionate kiss.

I pulled Haley even closer to my body and my hands roamed everywhere I could touch. Her hands were doing the same as well. She pressed her tongue against my teeth and I graciously opened my mouth to accept her tongue. Our tongues tangled and explored each other's mouths.

After a very sweet and passionate make out session, we broke the embrace hesitantly.

Haley was still holding onto me and I still had my arms wrapped around her. We were just content with holding each other and being in the moment.

I knew I had to say what I had been holding onto for the past two weeks, but I didn't want to scare her away.

However, Haley beat me to the punch and I was totally speechless.

"Nathan, the past two weeks have been pretty weird for me as well. After we met, I felt like there was something missing in my life. I couldn't figure out what it was until I saw you on the news. I couldn't believe you would sit out here for two weeks because you were hopelessly in love with me. I could have brushed it off as a crazed fan with nothing better to do, but I knew there was something different about you. The other day I called my brother to see if you contacted him and he told me no. Right there I knew something was off. You seemed very interested and I was shocked that you didn't call him. Now I can see why you didn't call him. You have been camping out in a sleeping bag because of me. What you have done is love and dedication. There is no other guy in this world that would do what you did. I think I am in love with you Nathan and I am pretty sure you feel the same way," she declared.

A huge grin came across my face and I put my hands on Haley's beautiful face and looked into her beautiful eyes.

"I love you Haley James and this isn't just some silly celebrity crush. I am in love with you and I would like to be your boyfriend," I finally admitted to her.

"I know this isn't a crush Nathan because I feel the same way you do. I would love to be your girlfriend and now you won't be the 'man who can't be moved' anymore," she said.

"Au contraire Haley, I will always be the 'man who can't be moved' because no other girl will ever move me the way you do. I love you and I am never going to stop either," I smirked feeling so damn happy right now.

"I love you too Nathan. We have a lot to learn about each other, but honestly I can't wait to know everything about you. How about we go back to your place so you can shower and sleep in a normal bed?" she said.

"That sounds absolutely wonderful. I was wondering would you like to spend the night. We can stay up and talk about our lives?" I asked nervously.

"As long as we just talk, that sounds wonderful," she said as she helped me gather my belongings.

"Damn, that came out wrong. I'm sorry Haley, what I meant was…….," was all I could say before she kissed me lightly on the lips.

I pulled away slowly and tried to keep talking but Haley put her hand over my lips.

"Nathan, shut up and kiss me," she whispered seductively as I complied with her wishes.

After another very heated make out session, we finally made it back to my apartment.

While I took a shower, Haley offered to make me food. She made her favorite dish, macaroni and cheese.

We spent the rest of the night eating and talking about everything. Eventually, we fell asleep in each other's arms in my bed.

I woke up and I felt around for Haley's warm body but she wasn't there next to me. I smelled food coming from the kitchen and I felt a huge smile come onto my face.

I walked out of my room and into the kitchen. Haley was wearing one of my t-shirts and boxers .

"Damn, you look better in my clothes than I do," I smirked.

"Good morning to you too baby," she smiled making my heart race.

We met halfway and shared a steamy and heartfelt kiss.

"Wow I must have you whipped already because you cooked me dinner and breakfast. Thanks babe, you are absolutely amazing," I rubbed my nose against her nose.

"I love cooking so it's not problem whatsoever and I think you are amazing as well. Now sit down. I have to finish this lovely breakfast," she demanded.

"I have to go to the bathroom first. I will be right back," I said before kissing her one more time. I swear I must be addicted to her lips.

I went into my bedroom and walked over to my sock drawer. I opened it and found the little black box I had been hiding for awhile now.

I was having an internal battle with myself. This would top the crazy charts because it was way too soon to be doing this.

However, I knew in my heart that this was right. I had to do this because it would eat me alive if I didn't do it.

I hid the box in my pocket and went out to see my beautiful girlfriend waiting for me.

We ate the wonderful breakfast and talked about random stuff. I helped Haley clean up the kitchen and afterwards, we cuddled on the couch.

I played with Haley's hair and I could feel the words rising in my throat. It was now or never Scott. Be a man and take the plunge. The worst she can say is no. Your world isn't going to completely fall apart, but it is going to suck if she does say no.

"Hales, can I ask you something?" I whispered into her ear.

"Absolutely, what is it?" she said looking up at me.

I let go of Haley hesitantly and got down onto one knee.

"I know I must seem like a crazy person to you after all the crazy things I have done to be with you. However, what I am about to do might be the craziest. I have had this ring for many years. It was my grandmother's ring that my mom gave to me. I was going to sell it because I never thought I would find a girl to marry. That all changed the day we officially met. I knew in my heart and in my soul that you deserved to wear this ring. We don't have to get married like right away. We can wait a year or two if you want. I just felt compelled to ask because I need to know if you want to be with me forever. I love you Haley and I want to spend the rest of my life with you. Will you make me the happiest man alive if you agree to be my wife in the near future?" I spoke from my heart and I opened the box so Haley could see the ring waiting to be put onto her ring finger.

"Oh wow," was all Haley could say.

I put the ring on her finger and waited with baited breath for her answer.

I could see the tears in her eyes and she was biting her lip very hard. I put my hand on her face and wiped away the tears.

"Haley, you don't have to say yes. I am such an idiot. I scared you and that was not my intention. I was just asking for my own selfish and stupid reasons. I'll take the ring off your finger and I hope we can forget I ever did this," I reassured her as I took the ring off.

"NOOOOOO!!!!" Haley shouted almost at the top of her lungs.

"What's wrong Haley?" I asked feeling confused.

"You are not taking this ring off my finger EVER. I am crying because I am so happy right now Nathan. I am surprised that you are proposing but I could never say no. I just want you to know that I don't want to get married right away. I still want to get to know you and I don't want the paparazzi to go crazy over this. So if anybody asks, this is a promise ring. I love you Nathan and my answer is yes," she exclaimed before throwing herself into my arms.

The two weeks I waited for Haley were tortuous, but hearing her say yes was enough of a reward for all I did for her. I love her with every breath in my body and I know she felt the same.

I would only be the man who couldn't be moved now because Haley changed me for the better and I would never go back to my old ways.
