One Late Night Gone Wrong
Nathan heard the phone ringing it was 11:30 pm.
"Hello?" Nathan said into the phone
"Sorry to call so late Nate" Nathan recognized the voice as Peyton's
"It's okay Peyton, what can I do for you?" Nathan asked
"Well Kate was at Tric earlier, and I had to kick her out"
"For what?" Nathan asked, that wasn't like Kate
"She had been drinking"
"But she doesn't drink" Nathan replied
"I know it's so unlike her, she also had her tongue down Mark's throat"
"Are you serious? she did come home from work pretty upset, but she said it was just girl stuff" Nathan said
"Did she seem fine when she left?" Peyton question
"Yeah, she was excited to see The Wreckers" Nathan replied
"Nate, have you heard anything from…"
"Not in at least six months"
"She's in town, which could have set off Kate" Peyton told Nathan
"I have to go, Peyton thank you for telling me" Nathan said then hung up the phone.
She was in town, that's why Kate had come home from the Café early, that why Kate had been drinking, and Nathan didn't even want to think about the last thing. Nathan sat by the door waiting for Kate to come home as the clock hit 12:30 am. Nathan figured Kate had forgotten her phone at Tric, so she didn't know what time it was. Until he heard the front door open and Kate walked through the door.
"Kaitlyn Scott are you any aware of what time it is?" Nathan asked in a stern tone
"1 am" Kate replied
"And why are you home one hour after your curfew?" Nathan asked
"I had to walk home from Tric"
"And why did you have to walk home from Tric?"
'Because I had got caught drinking"
"What happen to 'Dad, I'm never going to drink it just causes problems?'"
"I was trying to scare away…" Kate stopped mind sentence
"Scare away who?" Nathan asked even though he knew the answer
"My Mother" Kate said kicking off her sneakers and heading for the stairs
"So you thought drinking would get her to leave?" Nathan asked
"Yeah, I thought if I acted like an out of control teenager she'd leave"
"Kate, you could have told me I would have dealt with it"
"Dealt with it?" Kate asked
"I would have asked her to leave"
"Leave? What if she said no?"
"Don't what if me, and what's with you making out with Mark?"
"I was upset, I was trying to …."
"Trying to what make yourself look like a slut?!" Nathan yelled
"MAYBE!" Kate yelled back. Kate ran up the stairs to her bedroom.
"KATE GET BACK HERE WE ARE NOT DONE!" Nathan yelled
"I DON'T CARE!" Kate yelled before slamming her door closed
Nathan went up to his room a few seconds later and slammed the door as well and yelled "FINE!"
Nathan knew he had crossed a line last night, yelling at his own daughter just because she was trying to scare away the only other person to have his heart other than Kate, of course. Nathan hadn't slept at all that night; he couldn't get his mind off Haley. He hadn't even seen her and yet he wanted to. It was weird all that hate, wasn't hate at all it was love. Nathan still loved Haley but he could never trust her ever, especially with Kate his one thing in life he understood. He didn't want Haley anywhere near her. Nathan walked upstairs to see if Kate was awake, he tapped on the door, no answer, typical. Nathan knocked loudly this time, nothing. So he opened the door. "Kate, I'm sorry" Nathan started to say, when he looked around Kate wasn't even in her room, the window was open. Kate must have climbed out of window shortly after there fight. He didn't blame Kate for leaving; he was a jerk just like he had done with Haley.
Kate rolled over, looked around and couldn't remember where she was. Until she saw an arm around her waist, it was muscular, defiantly a guys arm. She looked over to her left and saw the one and only Adam, one of her best friends. She looked down noticing she was fully dressed in the clothes she had worn to Tric and Adam was wearing his boxers and a t-shirt. Oh Thank God Kate thought to her self, seeing that she was fully dressed.
"Well Good morning Scott" Adam said with a grin
"How did I get here?" Kate was very confused
Flashback
Adam had been laying in his bed, trying to drift off to sleep. He kept thinking about how he hadn't stopped Kate from kissing Mark. He should have been a man about. Then he heard pebbles hitting his window, he got up and looked out the window and saw Kate.
"Kate what are you doing here?" Adam asked
"Can I stay with you tonight?" Kate asked
"Sure, come to the side door I'll let you in" Adam said exiting his room and slowly walking down to the door, so he wouldn't wake his parents. He motioned for Kate to be quiet as they made there way back up to his room. Adam closed the door to his room after they both entered.
"Kate what's wrong? Don't you usually go to Lilly?" He asked
"You know that girl you were talking to" Kate said
"Ya, she was really nice. But a total cougar" Adam said with his goofy grin
"She's my mother" Kate said
"Oh Kate if I knew I wouldn't of talked to her"
"Oh its fine I don't care about that, I had a fight with my Dad about my ways to get rid of her" Kate said with a sigh sitting down on Adam's bed
"It couldn't have been that bad"
"He called me Kaitlyn he never calls me Kaitlyn"
"Its gonna all be fine, come on lay down and we can talk so more" Adam said laying back on his bed and motioning for Kate to come
"Thanks" Kate said laying her head on his chest.
"I have one question" Adam asked
"hmmm" Kate said
"Do you like Mark?"
"Of course not, he a total dumbass"
"Okay good"
"Why?"
"Because he is bad news"
"I knew that, you've told me about every guy"
"Because I have your back"
"I know you do and thank you" Kate said before closing her eyes and Adam wrapped his arms around her, and drifted off to sleep.
End of flashback
"And that's what happen" Adam stated getting up off his bed.
"Are you serious, I don't even remember coming to your house" Kate said starting to get up
"You were pretty tried" Adam said
"Yeah true and drunk, Thanks for letting me crash here. What time is it?"
"About 6"
"I should probably get going then, I don't want my dad worrying" Kate said
"Yeah my parents love you and all but will kill me if they find you in my room, having slept over" Adam said
"Can I borrow a sweater?" Kate asked noticing she was only in a tank top
"Sure" Adam said heading to his closet and pulling out his basketball sweater that said A. Dean # 13
"Oh I like this one" Kate said putting on over her head, it was a little big judging that Adam was six two and Kate was five four.
"I know you do" Adam said opening his arms to give Kate a hug
"Thank you again" Kate replied and accepted Adam hug
"I will always have your back" Adam said as he could smell the soft smell of vanilla, Man, did she look hot last night, I mean all the time. Crap she's my best friend I shouldn't have thoughts like that about her.
"Like I do with you" Kate said. This hug lasted longer than others; Kate was glad Adam cared so much about her. Kate quickly exited from the side down and started to walk home. She pulled the elastic off her wrist and pulled her hair up into a pony tail. Then Kate felt a drop off water hit her face, it started to rain. Kate rolled her eyes and pulled the hood up.
Haley had woken up at 5:30 am, not a very usual thing for her, but she needed to go for a drive, it usually helped her clear her head. So she left her hotel room at about 6 and headed out to dive through the town she once called home, it was raining. Haley notice somebody walking they had a sweatshirt on that said A. Dean #13. That nice boy she was talking to last night name Adam Dean, he said he played basketball, Haley decided to slow down to see if he needed a ride.
"Hey Adam right?" She said peaking her head out the door the body slowly turned around.
"No" It was Kate; Haley didn't know that Kate would be out walking alone in the rain at this time in the morning. Especially in some guy's sweater, was that the reason Kate had been all over that other guy last night, was Adam her boyfriend. Was that why Adam was so interested in her last night. Kate started to walk away from where Haley had pulled up.
"Kate, would you like a ride, I'm sure you don't want to catch a cold in the rain" Haley said. Kate turned around she really thought about turning around and running home as fast as she could until she saw a flash of lightening.
"Um, I don't think my dad would like that" she replied
"Kate, I think your father would rather have you alive and healthy" Haley stated
"I guess so" Kate returned over to Haley's car and sat down in the front seat.
"OK so where do you live?" Haley asked
"Um over on Maple" Kate said
"Oh okay, what are you doing outside so early?" Haley asked
"I didn't stay at home last night if that's what you're asking" Kate said crossing her arms
"Where did you stay?" Haley asked
"With Adam" Kate said. Haley's mind went into shock her little was with some guy last night
"Did you know…. Have sex with him?" Haley asked. Kate rolled her eyes. Great, Kate's a Brooke.
"Who do you think I am Victoria King? No, Adam is one of my best friends" Kate replied
"Oh I'm sorry I remember people jumping to conclusions about me and your uncle Lucas" Haley said
"You had sex with my uncle EW" Kate said in disgust
"No he was my best friend" Haley replied
"Oh"
"So why did you stay at Adam's last night?" Haley asked
"I had a fight with my dad about……" Kate stopped. Kate couldn't believe she was having a real conversation with Haley, Kate didn't think it was possible for herself to be civil.
"About what?" Haley asked
"You" Kate said
"Oh, which number are you?" Haley said trying to change the subject
"23" Kate replied. Haley pulled up into the long drive way
"Kate if you ever need me, just call me" Haley said handing Kate a piece a paper with her number on it
"OK, Thanks for the ride" Kate said taking the piece of paper and heading for the front door.
