Hello. Let me know what you think of this. I'm highly considering making it a 2-parter, but for now it's a one-shot. Read the lyrics, they are also part of the story. This shows a lot more angst then most of my Naley stories. A more realistic part of Nathan.
The song is "Only Hope" by Mandy Moore. Its also in A Walk To Remember.
Summary: Nathan just wants to get rid of her memory, until she comes back with a song.
Nathan lied in bed as he did every night hoping that sleep would eventually come. A nice dreamless sleep. But every time he was able to close his eyes, he saw her face.
He head a guitar lightly strumming.
"Oh great now I'm hearing things." He thought out loud. Nathan stumbled out of his bed and to his window. Looking down he saw her still playing, but now she started singing.
There's a song that's inside of my soulIt's the one that I've tried to write over and over again
I'm awake in the infinite cold
But you sing to me over and over and over again
So
I lay my head back down
and
I lift my hands and pray
I pray to be only yours
I know now you're my only hope
Sing to me the song of the stars
Of your galaxy dancing and laughing and laughing again
When it feels like my dreams are so far
Sing to me of the plans that you have for me over again
So
I lay my head back down
and
I lift my hands and pray
I pray to be only yours
I know now you're my only hope
I
give you my destiny
I'm
giving you all of me
singing in all that I am
At the top of my lungs
I'm giving it back
So
I lay my head back down
and
I lift my hands and pray
I pray to be only yours
I pray to be only yours
I know now you're my only hope
They stood there staring at each other before she finally spoke.
"I've been up all night writing that. I love you Nathan. I feel stupid ever leaving, and worse not coming back. I don't love Chris. I love you. I need you."
"Well what about what I need?"
"What do you need?" She cried.
"I need someone who won't leave me. Someone I can trust and someone who won't betray me."
"I know I left, I didn't want to, but I wanted to fulfill my dream. I supported you for basketball. I didn't betray you. When I kissed him, I felt nothing, I felt guilt and like a horrible person. Nathan-"
"You were a horrible person Haley. You tore my life apart and I thought I loved you, but now I know I should just pay attention to my dream. Basketball. That's my whole life now." He argued cutting her off.
"Nathan I know. I never wanted to hurt you and you have every right in the world to be angry right now, just give me another chance." She was now crying down on her knees.
As much as he hated her right now, he couldn't stand to see her. Underneath all the hate and denial, a part of him still wanted her, still loved her.
"Come inside, we'll work this out." He told her and taking her hand as she climber through the window weakly.
He pulled her into a tight embrace as she sobbed into his chest.
"I'm here Hales, I'm here." He said with a sudden change in feelings once he was holding her. "I'm here."
Let me know what you think. 2-parter? If it is, it will be what will they talk about in the bedroom. I'll try to. I know you guys like updates. SO review! Thanks a bunch! Luv u all!
