Gone Part III

So I was very frustrated with almost every character on tonight's episode. To take out my frustrations, I wrote this chapter up. Basically, everything in chapter 2 happened but like tonight's episode Jason touched Haley and Haley saw Lucas and Peyton kiss. Takes place when Nathan and Haley got to bed.

--

"I'm not mad.. I'm disappointed."

"In me?"

"In a lot of things .. I guess I should be happy that you're not off sneaking off with some other girl."

Nathan sighed. They were having such a good night. They got a big kick out of Tim and Carrie. She tried to leave dodge him but he was always one step behind her. But then Mia performed and that's when Jason touched his wife and once again his anger got the best of him. She had every right to be upset, but he couldn't sleep knowing how upset she was. He looked over to her side, where her back was still to him. He just wanted to reach over there and hug her but he couldn't so he did the only thing he could, which was to look at her.

Haley knew Nathan too well and after a couple of minutes she could still feel his intense gaze. "Just go to sleep, Nathan."

"You first… Hales please, I'm really sorry… I hate to see you so upset and I hate that's it my fault again."

Haley sighed to herself. She was pissed, she wanted to remain piss. She knew she would get over this but leave it to Nathan to pull her back in. She turned to him and draped her arm across his chest and snuggled up next to him. Nathan instantly felt better.

"It's not your fault." She muttered.

"What?"

"Well.. not entirely."

"What're you talking about Hales?"

"Lucas…"

"What about him?"

"I saw him kiss Peyton tonight."

"What?!"

"You remember the last time I saw him cheat on his girlfriend.. I just can't believe he would do something like that again.. but he's my best friend and Peyton's my other best friend but I like Lindsey.. it just gets me so frustrated."

Nathan held her tighter. "It's going to be okay. The whole thing with Lucas and Peyton and Lindsey.. it'll work itself out.. I mean it couldn't be as bas as what happened the last time." He tried to reassure her. "So that's what got you all worried?"

"Don't think your off the hook either?"

"Hales." He tried to protest. "The last thing I wanted was to do was disappoint you .. again."

"Yes.. I'm disappointed .. but more than that.. I'm scared."

"Scared?"

"Yes, Nathan.. I'm terrified.. look what happened the last time you got into fight.. God forbid something worse happens.. I .. I don't think I could take it." Haley tried to fight back the tears and Nathan felt even more guilty.

"Nothings going to happen to me."

"You're not invincible Nathan.. I can't.. I can't loose you again."

"You never lost me… I'm here Haley.. I'm not going anywhere."

She buried her face into his chest and now the tears flowed freely. "I just love you so much.. even when though I'm only gone for a few hours at work I miss you so much.. God, it's like when I'm 16 all over again." She tried to wipe the tears from her eyes.

Nathan's heart ached at her words. "And I'm still that love struck teenage boy who fell for you.. I love you too Haley .. sooo much." He tried to soothe her but she still kept crying. "Do you remember right after we started going out and I passed out during the game?"

"How can I forget?"

"And then I came to see you .. and do you remember what I said?"

Haley nodded.

"I told you that when I fell on that floor.. I was so scared.. so terrified then I saw you and I promised myself that if I can get up and walk over to you and tell you how much I need you .. how much I want you then nothing else matters… you remember that?"

Haley smiled at the memory. "Of course."

"That's how I felt when I finally got out of that wheel chair .. but it wasn't just you I wanted to walk over to... it was you and our son.. I got up for both of you because I need you two and I love you two so much, you two are the only ones that matter, so don't think for a second you're going to lose me, you just have to get used to the fact that your stuck with me." He tried to sound a little bit more upbeat.

Haley eyes watered once more. "See this is all your fault." She buried dried her eyes against his shirt, "You say these things and you just make me fall more in love you need to stop." She tried to laugh and he smiled. They snuggled up closer and he kissed the top of her forehead.

"I love you."

"I love you too."

Haley closed her eyes, letting her tears dry and falling into a peaceful slumber, safe in Nathan's arms. Nathan lay there and watched as her breathing slowed until he knew she was asleep. Their minds both at rest, Nathan closed his eyes and let sleep take over him.

The End (Until Mark gets me annoyed again next week!!!!!)

Hope you enjoyed! Like I said, this was supposed to be a oneshot but Mark likes to keep annoying me, hehe. First off, I think Lucas is a jerk once again. First he strung along Brooke and Peyton and now he's doing it with Lindsey. Lindsey has been nothing but nice to him and everyone else. She doesn't deserve to be second place. Lucas should've done the right thing and just ended it before she got even more hurt. We all know Peyton and Luke will get together but I think they're doing it completely wrong. Much like the first time they hooked up behind someone else's back ahem). And then the other Scott I'm annoyed at, Nathan is an idiot. Let's not even go with how Carrie was throwing herself at him (gag) but the girl's a fish and you still want him to watch your son!? Dammit Nate, you have a son! How is seeing your baby sitter get trashed being responsible!? And Haley, why does she always hold everyone to a higher standard? People makes mistakes, she should know that. A guy slapped her ass, do you think her husband is not going to do anything. Hell if Lucas was there, wouldn't he have done the same thing? She was right to be upset but she shouldn't really be so mad. If she saw all the flirting Carrie did with Nathan, wouldn't she want to slap a b. Do I have to bring up season 4 when Rachel kissed Nathan? Very frustrated. . I think Brooke and Mouth were the only ones I didn't want to slap upside the head tonight. Anyways, that's my rant, hope this story helps out with us frustrated and deprived Naley fans. With I think 6 more episodes coming since the strike is over.. we better get our NALEY MARK !!! Please review !
