Haley opened up her closet and took out a brown shoe box. She opened the box and inside was a large stack of letters. Haley picked one up and read the envelope address.
Nathan Scott
1216 Lalen st. apt. 23
Tree Hill, NC 82349
She put it down and picked up a few more. They were all addressed to the same address. There must have been at least 120 letters in the box. One for each day she was on the tour pretty much. All addressed to Nathan, but never sent.
Haley put all the letters back in the box and carried the box outside. Then she got in her car and drove to Nathan's house, or rather his parents home. When Haley got there Haley put the box down on the porch and wrote Nathan and put a little heart next to it, on the top of the box. Then Haley got back in her car and drove off leaving the box on the porch.
When Nathan got home he saw the box and looked at it sort of puzzled. He knew in the pit of his stomach that it was from Haley. Slowly he picked it up and took it into his house. When he got to his room, he shut the door and put the box down on his bed. Then he opened the box and took out the letter on the top of the pile. Carefully he opened up the envelope and took out the letter. Then he began to read it.
Dear Nathan,
I know you probably hate me right about now. It wasn't more then an hour ago that I was telling you about how Michelle Branch wanted me on tour. I really wanted you to be happy for me, but I can understand how it upset you. Nathan, you have to know that the kiss with Chris meant nothing to me. He just kissed me. I didn't feel anything from it. I love you so much and you're the only one I could ever love this way. Please forgive me for kissing Chris and leaving. I just wish I could make you understand how much this tour means to me and how much music means to me. But you have to know Nathan, that you mean more to me then even music does. I just left, because it was something I had to do... for myself. Though, I know that this tour won't be as much as it should be, because I won't have you here by my side.
I guess part of the reason I left is because I love you so much. If that makes any sense at all. What I'm trying to say Nathan is that I've become so dependent on you, that I feel weak when I'm not around you. I just need to get out on my own and do something for myself. That's why I didn't ask you to come on the tour with me. Though, right about now I'm kind of regretting that, cause I miss you already. Maybe later in the tour you can come and see me. Though, I don't know if I'll be able bring myself to talk to you after what I've done. I'm so sorry Nathan. Oh, what the hell am I doing, this letter doesn't make any sense does it? Oh, well chances are I won't have the guts to send it to you any ways.
I LOVE YOU,
HALEY xoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxo

Nathan put down the letter and sighed. He got up and walked over to his dresser and opened the top drawer. The entire top drawer was chocked full of letters. He grabbed a paper bag from behind his dresser and began to pile all the letters into the bag. All of the letters said Haley James-Scott There was no address on half of them, because he had written those while she was on the tour and had no idea where to send them. The other half were addressed to
Haley James-Scott
1216 Lalen st. apt. 23
Tree Hill, NC 82349
Once the letters were all in the bag, Nathan wrote Haley on the bag and went out to his car with the bag. He got into his car and drove to Haley and Brooke's apartment. He quietly walked to the porch and left the back there. Then he walked back home.
