Wind. It's a familiar sensation for everyone. It an a be soft breeze or harsh storm. You can't see it, but you can feel it. I think the same goes for love. He's gone now, for four years now. The day I met him it was like a soft breeze, and the day he left me was like the harshest storm. I haven't seen him, but I can still feel him. And the love we shared four years ago.
Nathan and I met because he hated my best friend who is also his brother. He was trying to hurt him through me. It started off as innocent, and a way to help my best friend. It changed as I found myself falling for the real him. He was kind, but didn't want anyone to know it. He was sweet, even if he acted tough for the outside world. He was human like everyone else even when he wanted people to think otherwise. With me, he was all those things and more.
Eventually, we got married. Yes, married. Yes, we were still high school. But we loved each other. It was good thing, in fact, it was great. It helped him and his brother bond. I even got closer with Brooke and Peyton because of it. Life was wonderful, until we started realizing our dreams were bigger than ourselves. We desperately tried to cling to each other, trying to forget those dreams. It didn't work. I left on a tour to make my singing dreams come true, but in the process I lost him. I came back, but he went after his dreams. I understood though because I loved him. He came back, but he pushed me away. I fought for us, but he just gave up on us. I wonder if it was his pride that was stopping us from getting that second chance, or maybe I was too scared to realize that maybe he really stopped loving me.
It's four years later. I've graduated from Stanford. I live in Tree Hill. I teach English at the very same high school we met in. But most of all, I still miss him. I miss him every single second. Most of time, it's something that is in the back of my mind. Always there. Waiting. Other times, it hits me. The regret sets in, and I can't stand to be in my own skin. I have friends and family here. Lucas, Brooke, and Peyton have been amazing. They've really been here for me. I still feel empty though. I guess nothing could ever fill the void of him.
Other than that life's been good. I'm still Haley James, tutor girl. Just a little bit jaded. I live with Brooke and Peyton in this cute little house by the river. I have a great relationship with my best friend, Lucas. So, today I am making a vow to look on the bright side because today is the day that I received an invitation to Nathan Scott's wedding.
AN: Ok, so this is my first fic, ever. I finally had the courage to write and upload, so be gentle but honest. Thanks.
