I always seem to get in over my head with things. I'm writing about 3 fanfics right now and its hard to keep up with updating. But, here I am. This chapter is VERY short. For that I'm sorry. Everything that needed to be said in this chapter was said so there was no need to make it longer. I wish I could promise the next chapter will be longer, but I can't do that. I never plan a-head much. But I can say it will be longer than this one. Anyway, I'll let you get to the chapter now. - Brittany

After Nathan left the apartment he was all Haley could think about. She missed the way they were so badly. Missing the feel of his lips against hers. She wished they could go back. Way back to before any of this happened. Back to the past. Most of all she wished she could go back and never have met Nathan that afternoon. That way she would have to go through all of this pain. The empty spot in her chest where her heart use to rest. Nathan tore it out and would never give it back. She remembered the day she met him.

Haley was reading a book while she walked to her class and she obviously wasn't paying much attention to where she was going and Nathan right into Nathan. In all the commotion she not only tumbled over but she caused her books to fly almost to the other end of the hall. Nathan had landed right on top of her. She blushed a bright pink color.

"I am so sorry!" Haley exclaimed.

Nathan stood up and extended a hand out to help her up. Right when she took her hand in his she felt a shock of electricity run through her fingers and up to her heart.

"I should have been paying attention." She said.

Nathan smiled. "Its ok. No big deal." He said in a calm voice.

Haley returned the smile as Nathan helped her collect her books.

"What were you looking at anyway?" He asked.

Haley held up her history book. "History. I was trying to get some last minute study time in." She explained.

Nathan looked puzzled. "Aren't you like the smartest kid in school? You have like the highest GPA right?" He asked. Which cause Haley to blush even more than she was.

"Maybe." She said. "Thanks for helping me with my books." Haley said before turning to walk to her class.

"Hey." Nathan said causing Haley to turn to face him. "When will I see you again?"

"Probably next period. We have English together." Haley said.

Nathan walked closer to her. "No, not like that." He smiled. "When will I see you again outside of school?" He asked.

A single tear rolled down Haley's cheek at the thought of that memory. Of course she still loved Nathan. She always has and always will. She just couldn't trust him. He left her behind, for her. He left possibly the best thing that had ever happened to him and for that he kicks him self in the ass. He never would have thought about all the pain he'd cause himself. And the pain got worse and worse when he'd think about how much Haley was hurting. He wished he would have called instead of writing letters. Or just have came back and apologized. But it was too late. Haley may have slipped away from him forever. And the air tonight made him miss her more than ever.
