Hi guys! Thank you for the reviews, It makes my day! Well, I don't own One Tree Hill, just the plot. Enjoy!
About an hour after we arrived, Nathan was still with us, he'd usually leave by now, and Peyton seemed to be thinking the same thing, "Nathan, is everything ok?" She asked, I looked up, he seemed completely lost…"Hmm? Ohh… Yeah, everything's fine" He said, still looking a bit distracted. "Dance?" He suddenly asked Peyton, she looked up. "I actually have to go to the bathroom, why don't you two go ahead". She said, and with that, she left, leaving me with Nathan… To say it was awkward was just the beginning, he looked over at me, for the first time tonight, he actually looked present. "So, Haley… What were you reading?" I looked at him confused "Reading?" I asked, he surprised me by smiling, "In gym" he said, I felt stupid, of course… Wait… He remembered, and I didn't? What's going on…? "Emm… Romeo and Juliet" I know, how ironic? "Oh…" He actually pretended to be interested; yes I know he pretended, it's Nathan we're talking about.
"So, you want to dance?" He asked, making me blush… don't ask why… If you'd been in the situation you'd blush to! "You don't have to do that" I said, knowing he probably was just being polite, and that was shocking, considering he was a big jerk… "Do what?" He looked right into my eyes, honesty in his eyes. "Be polite, I know I'm only here because I'm friends with Peyton" I made eye contact, he looked … hurt? "Maybe so, but that's not my choice" He said, and before I knew, he'd grabbed me by my arm, dragging me to the middle of the room. "Nathan, what are you doing?" I tried to see his eyes, but he kept looking away, he suddenly let go of me, turning me around and taking a hold of my waist, just as a slow song came on.
God, am I dreaming, or am I really in the middle of the dance floor, in Nathans embrace. I wanted to put my hands around his neck, but felt like it was totally inappropriate, considering everything… He suddenly let go of my hand, and his arm went around my waist, intertwining his fingers behind my back, pulling me closer at the same time. Yes, I know his Peyton's boyfriend, but hey, it's just dancing? Right? "You know, I don't bite" Nathan's voice brought me back, I looked at him confused, suddenly I got what he meant, my arms, right! I brought the up, and wrapped them around his neck. That just made us even closer to each other, Nathan looked into my eyes, I couldn't help but feel like he saw right through me…
"Nathan, Peyton's past out up stairs", Tim's voice sounded from behind me. Tim is one of Nathan's team mates. I saw Nathan look up, and before he could let go of me, I was already half way up the stairs. What had Peyton done, she hadn't been drinking that much. As soon as we got to where Tim said she'd be, I saw her lying on the floor, completely asleep. "I guess she's had enough" I told Nathan, who at this point, was standing right behind me. He moved past me, and lifted her into his arms, caring her to his room, and dropped her on the bed. "I guess she's spending the night, you want me to take you home?" He looked at me, I stumbled with my words "Y…e…a…h, that'd be nice" I finally managed to get out.
As we were driving to place, he suddenly glanced over at me, "you know, I actually had favor to ask" I looked at him, what he could he need from me? "You're a tutor?" He asked, ones he saw my confused face. "Yes, why? Wait, you want me to tutor you?" I really didn't think he cared about school… "Don't tell this to anyone, well… they probably know… but still…." He kept his eyes on the road, not looking in my direction at all. "My dad would just… kill me" I tried to get him to look at me, but he refused to look away from the road. "Nathan… Your father's really bad isn't he?" I saw his hands tighten its grip on the wheel. "Just… will you?" He asked… I got the hint, and just as he stopped in front of my house I whispered "Yes…"
The next morning I was woken up by my phone, I considered ignoring it, but I remembered Peyton being at Nathans place, and instantly reached for my phone. "Haley, can I come over, Nathan and I broke up… for the last time" I sighed, she always said that. "Sure Peyt" I smacked the phone together and tossed it on the side of my bed, it was just Peyton coming over, and I honestly wasn't going to get up until she was here, I knew the drill. She came over, we ate cookie dough ice cream, from Ben and Jerry, while we watched some stupid romance movie, and she told me what happened. Then she'd fall asleep, and when she woke up, she'd go to Nathan and they'd get back together, as always.
I sighed as I heard a knock, well, at least she brought ice cream! I stumbled down the stairs, being sure not to look in the mirror; I look like hell in the morning. I opened the door, and I was met by a full on angry Peyton, she had no ice cream in her hands, no stupid movie, she just marched in the door, walking right around me. I turned around, and looked the door behind me… "Peyton, what happened?"
So, not that much longer, but a little, I really hope you liked it, r&r! :D
