Hey everyone! So i figured Quick update to answer all your doubt about the story.
So let me be clear: THIS, just like the previous story, IS A NALEY FANFIC! it's a sequel to disaster story which is also a Naley story. It's all about the struggle of Nathan and Haley to find their way back to each other, while the world seems to work against them and everything they is misinterpreted..
So chap 2! enjoy!
Chapter 2. Where we left off...
So it was 4 in the afternoon when Haley closed the door behind herself and plopped down on her bed. "I'm dead." She stated while laying back on her new bed. "I hear ya girl. I do not have the energy to unpack." Brooke replied.
It was a couple of days before the start of the semester and due to some hideous trick of fate, Haley had found herself accepted to Duke university, something that would have been great year ago, but only now turned out to be the remaining piece of her broken relationship with Nathan, one he'd never wanted to fix once he'd moved on.
Because of this relationship, she hadn't replied to any other University, firstly because with her grades she was guaranteed to be accepted, and secondly because going anywhere else hadn't been an option.
So she went. Haley kept telling herself that she was there with Brooke, and Brooke was going because of Lucas, and that Lucas was there so that was enough reason to go to Duke. I would have nothing to do with Nathan.
But of course Nathan had been the only reason. When she originally applied, and now still. Though he'd never answered to her note and she hadn't spoken to him since that day that she told him she couldn't trust him anymore, she still had a silent hope of finding her way back to him.
She wasn't dense, she'd heard plenty of stories from Brooke, who had visited Duke often because of Lucas, and Lucas himself about Nathan and his well going relationship with the blonde from the driveway that day in December, that apparently went to Duke. So she knew Nathan had moved on and even appeared to be satisfied with his life as it was.
That day in December was the last time she'd seen him. After he never replied to her note so could only assume he wished to have nothing to do with her anymore and wanted a life less complicated than the one she represented. The fact the Blonde he was dating, went to Duke as well and he was seeing her days after he'd given up on their relationship, meant he'd been close to her during the never ending drama last fall.
The tragedy that included, Nathan's fright of having a baby with her and then the aspirin drama, her sister Taylor had caused.
Speaking of the devil. She hadn't spoken to Taylor since, she came clean about almost killing her. That was then true, and it was still. Haley had still no intention of mending her broken relationship with her older sister.
Now that the beginning of her Freshman year at Duke university started in only a mere couple of days, Haley anxiety levels were through the roof. For now she was going to avoid seeing Nathan, knowing that seeing him might stir up a whole lot a trouble she didn't want the first day of her college life. For instant she did not wish to be known to the Entire school as the trouble ex girlfriend of their big basketball Hero Nathan Scott.
She'd rather be known as Haley James, Nerd, again. It was a label she was much more comfortable with. As for being Nathan's ex.. Haley wished not to run the same circles as Nathan and therefore it would not be impossible, not to run into him. Duke was big enough after all.
If Nathan even knew she was coming to Duke; something he surely would not have expected, he wasn't going to look for that confrontation, after all, he'd been avoiding her. He'd spend spring break previous semester at Duke and his entire Summer with his uncle Cooper in Miami, Florida.
Now that she was here, he'd have to get a little more creative, because... Well, she wasn't done trying. She would give him a week or what to get used to the idea or inform his girlfriend, but she wasn't resting until she would be resting peacefully with him next to her.
Writing that note, seeing him with the Blonde, him not replying; it had all triggered a need within her not to be forgotten by him. A need for him that made her realize; she stood no chance in the world without him by her side.
So though a part of her was scared to death of what was to come and she knew she'd probably get her heart broken more than once in the next year. Haley wrote down in her list of this year's predictions; "by the end of the year, Nathan and I will have patched things up; We'll be together and We'll be stronger than ever."
She folded up the piece of paper and put it in the little old rusted soap bin. "Good night Brooke."
Brooke opened one eyes ; "Yeah, Good night Hales." And she closed it.
Tada!
What Haley exactly wants is still a little unclear.. to her, to me and therefore to you guys.. it'll be typically girlish... she can't make up her mind just yet...
