River Court
Just like any other Friday night the gang was at the River court. Everyone made a promise that every Friday night no matter what they would play a game. It reminded them that even though life sucks they have each other, a family. "Well if it isn't JLuke!" Skills said while Jamie ran up to him. "Uncle Skills!" He shouted. "Hey! Hales" Skills said while handing Jamie the ball. "Now skills take it easy on the little fella?" She said while laughing. "Yeah because I will kill you if you let something happen to my little god baby." Brooke said while walking to the court. Brooke sat next to Haley on the bench while they greeted each other. "Now why yall picking on me, you I will always protect him." Skill said. Jamie made a shot. "Look at him soon he will be unstoppable, once he grows a little." Lucas said while going onto the court with Peyton. Peyton sat with the other girls. "Well if it isn't the three musketries." Skills said as Mouth, Junk, and Fergie all step on the court. "So we about to this or you scared I will beat you?" Junk said. Mouth sat with Brooke, Haley, and Peyton ready to announce the game. "Oh I am so ready." Lucas said. The boys go on to the same teams as always Lucas and Junk vs Fergie and Skills. Jaime tries to join in sometimes. "Good evening Ladies and Gentlemen, welcome to another historic night of basketball." Mouth said. Everyone smiled hearing those always reminded them of home. After 20 minutes of playing they take a break. "So how was everyone's day?" Haley asked. "My day was great mommy." Jamie said. "Oh yes, tell everyone what you did." Haley said. "I went to my first day of preschool." Jamie shouted. Lucas picks up Jamie. "Preschool looks who's getting big?" Lucas laughed. "How was first day of teaching hales?" Lucas added. "Well not so good there was this kid, that basically sexually harassed me but it's okay." Brooke gave Haley a hug. "I'm sorry hales, did you at least meet any hot coworkers?" She asked. Haley laughed. "I told you Brooke I am not looking for anyone right now." Haley got mixed emotions about Nathan; she still loved him but hated him she never wants that to happen to her again. "I'm sorry but you need to move on sometime." Brooke said while hugging Haley. "I know so how was your day?" Haley asked Brooke. "Well my day was bad until I got see my favorite guy." Brooke said while walking over to Lucas. "Why thank you Brooke." Lucas said. "I meant Jamie, duh." Brooke grabbed Jamie. "Ouch!" Mouth said. "I don't worry mouth your number two." Brooke said. "Well speaking of favorite people, I went out with Mille again." Mouth said. "Wait, Mille?" Peyton asked. "Yeah Brooke's hot assistant. She has been over all week." Skills said. Peyton winked at Mouth. "Go mouth! Well I have some big news." Peyton wasn't sure if she should tell everyone first but what the heck. "Well I am pregnant." Peyton said while crying. Lucas was in shock. Brooke and Haley gave Peyton a hug. "Are you for real?" Lucas asked. Peyton nodded. Peyton got up and kissed Lucas. "I am gonna be a dad!" Lucas said. Skills patted Lucas on the shoulder. "Congratulations!" Skills said. "Well, well, well glad to see the gang all here." Someone said while coming on the court. "Nathan?!" Haley said. Nathan stood in front of everyone. Lucas was holding onto Peyton. Brooke was holding tightly to Jamie scared Nathan may grab him. "Brooke can you take Jamie to your car?" Haley asked. Brooke left with Mouth, Junk, and Fergie. Haley walked up to Nathan, angry. "What the hell are you doing here?" Haley yelled. Lucas stood behind Haley and Skills joined Lucas. "Look Haley I know when I left things were bad but I made mistake and I know that I am here to change my mistakes." Nathan walked closer to Haley. "No! You made your choice and you have to live with that and that mistake is my son and he doesn't have a dad!" Haley turned around Nathan grabbed her arm. Lucas pushed Nathan away. "You need to leave now, don't bother coming back." Nathan stared at them. "Haley, I am not leaving. I am staying." Haley left with Skills. Peyton walked up to Nathan. "Maybe people should stay gone?" She grabbed Lucas' hand and left. Nathan stood there all alone.
Party
"Hey where have you been?" Clay shouted as Nathan walked in. "I had some stuff to do." Nathan said as he grabbed a beer. "So what is her name?" Nathan laughed. Clay thinks Nathan was a womanizer but if he was honest he wasn't. Last time he hocked up with a girl was Haley. "It wasn't like that." Nathan was sad. "Oh so let she actually met you." Clay joked. "Yeah, let's just saw she knows the real me." Nathan didn't feel like partying. "What's wrong with that?" Clay was confused. "There's a lot I didn't tell you." Nathan grabbed a beer. "So tell me." Clay walked outside and sat. "Okay well this small town is my home. This is where I grew up." Nathan sat down next to Clay. "Haha you grew up here? So why keep that a secret?" Clay said. Nathan took a sip of beer. "Because when I left this town I left some people." Nathan was ashamed of his past. "Oh so that girl, what did you fall in love or something." Clay was confused. "Yeah, I did and I messed it up. It got more completed then that Clay. See we got married." Clay's graw dropped. "Wait married? Was she pregnant?" Clay was not used to this kinda of Nathan. "Not at the time but before I went to Duke she had told me she was and then I left her. Now everyone hates me and I am my father." Nathan said with angrier. "Wait your Dad?" Clay was confused. Nathan finished his beer then gets up. "I fucked up man." Nathan said as he left the party. He didn't feel like lying anymore, it was time for him to face the truth. He grabbed another beer. "Nathan wait What about the kid? That was years ago but there's still time. I know you're a good guy." Clay said. Nathan walked out. He was sad and drunk. Not the best combination but he had to fix things with Haley. Seeing her on the river court with everyone reminded him of what he wanted most which was a family. Even though he was living his dream it wasn't enough, Haley was always and forever be in his heart.
Haley's apartment
"Alright Jimmy Jam time for bed." Haley said as she tucked Jamie into bed. "Do I have to go to bed momma?" He asked. The doorbell rang. "Okay let me get that then bedtime for you." She said. Haley opened the door then shut once she saw Nathan. "Hales please just hear me out" Nathan shouted. Haley opened the door. "Don't call me that. And why should I? Because you love me? Because we have a son? No, Nathan you can't just come back here and act like you didn't hurt me like you didn't leave your son because you did." Haley started crying. "I am sorry" Nathan said. "No! It's too late for that!" She screamed. Jamie ran out of his room. "Why you crying momma?" He said as he ran to her. Nathan's heart broke when he saw his son for the first time. Haley picked Jamie. "Well sometimes people do bad things and don't realize that they broke someone's heart." She said while looking at Nathan. He was speechless. "You should be going to bed Jamie. Goodbye Nathan" Haley said as she shut the door. "Hales always and forever" Nathan said. Haley started to walk Jamie to his room while crying.
