Always and Forever

Chapter One: Surprise Surprise!

A/N So, this is my first fan fic. I love Naley. They Rock! Please let me know what you guys think. I have been reading everyone's stories on here and they are great! Please review!

As Nathan looked up and saw Haley entering Chris's apartment he felt his stomach drop. I did thishe thought to himselfso I just have to live with itNathan placed his earphones back in and went to finish his run. When he returned home he went upstairs to shower. Removing his shirt he looked down and saw his wedding ring.

Flashback

Someday, this beach might wash away…the oceans may dry…the sun could dim but on that day, I'll still be loving you. Always and forever. I promise you Haley.

End of Flashback

"How could we have started there and ended here?"he said aloud.

Haley walks into Chris's apartment as he proceeds to laugh at her. "I knew you couldn't stay away from Chris Keller!"

"Give it up Chris; we both know why I am here so lets just get started so we can be finished"

"Come on Haley, you know you are excited about spending time with me, just admit it. Coming back to Tree Hill was really a bad idea and you are ready to go back on tour. Just say the word and we are gone!"

"Chris! Have you lost your mind? Do you not remember what happened the last time we went on tour? I lost my husband. I realize that isn't a big deal to you, but it a very big deal for me. I knew better than to think this would work. I am outta here, goodbye!"

Haley bolts out the door leaving Chris speechless.

This is ridiculous, why is Nathan doing this to me? He may want to play games, but I am done. With that she picked up her cell phone to call Brooke.

"Hey Brooke, what's up?"

"Not much Hales, just reading a magazine. Did you know that every time you smile for too long it makes your face stretch out?"

"What?"

"No really, is says here in the magazine – "

"Brooke, I really am not in the mood for this right now," interrupting her.

"Hales, what happened?"

"Oh you know just the usual, me being stupid and willing to do anything to get Nathan back, what else."

"What happened this time?"

"Well he came over last night insisting that I work with Chris Keller on my music again."

Now it was Brooke's turn, "What?"

"Yeah tell me about it. Nathan says he needs to trust me again and the only way he can do that is basically tempt me with Chris to see if I become interested again."

"Is the man crazy? Why would he do that? Haley, he has to know that you love him. Has he gone mad?"

"I am beginning to wonder. It really doesn't matter; I just got mad at Chris and left anyway. Working with him again will not work, whether Nathan is involved or not. Without him the music doesn't work anyway. Why waste my time."

"I'm sorry Hales, is there anything I can do?"

"No Brooke thanks though. Just needed someone to talk to. I think I am just gonna take a walk I have to be at the café at later. I will see you tonight."

"Ok, see later."

Brooke sat on the couch thinking. When was the last time we were all happy? Oh yeah, it's when we were all together. Who would have thought? Doesn't look like that would be happening anytime soon. Her and Lucas were no closer to getting back together than they were when she got home. Of course, that was to her doing. She just wasn't ready to take a chance at getting her heartbroken. She knew that Lucas was the one but she wasn't up to not being the one for him. Best intentions or not she knew what happened. Just look at Peyton.

Brooke hears a knock at the door and gets up to answer it.

"Hey Brook."

"Hey P Sawyer, what's going on?"

"Not much, what about you?"

"Just sitting here thinking. I just got off the phone with Haley, more Nathan drama."

"And she was complaining? She should just be happy Nathan is willing to even be involved in drama with her!"

"Peyton!"

"What, you know I am having a hard time with this! I can't help it. I would have given anything if things were the same with Nathan and me as they were with them. I would never have left his side. Much less abandon them. Especially after everything they went through and all the people they hurt to be together in the first place."

"So we are back to this again, huh?"

"Back to what Brooke?"

"Back to being bitter, back to what this is really about. You still want Nathan!"
