This is the next chapter of Understand. I hope you like it.

Nate's Pov

I can only see the look of disgust in his eyes as I told him. He did not even let me down softly. 'Leave me alone,' was the thing going through my head. Over and over again, it did not stop and neither did the tears that I know was running down my face. It did not matter because of the rain the continued to poor.

The rain seemed to get as worse and my day has gone. I did not want to get up to day. I wanted to sleep and Haley woke me up. She brought over Lucas, and this happened. This is her fault. If it was not for her I would not hurt and be here.

A part of my mind knows that I did not mean that. She has done nothing but help me. I got to know her so I could get to him.

'Leave me alone.' That hurt me just as worse. I hurt a girl just to hurt myself. I know that I am the Dan's real son. I cause nothing but hurt.

I have no clue how long I was there hurt, and lost. I know that I have nothing to live for anymore. I did not want to play a game I like with the one I love that hates me. I just can't. I would hurt the team.

"Nate…Nathan…Look at me…Dammit Nate." I look up at Haley. A very wet, sad, angry Haley.

"I am so sorry Haley. I messed up. You don't have to be here. You don't have to care. I know that you are happy that you do not have to look after me no more. I have no reason, in my mind, which you need to stay. Go to him, I know that he is your best friend. I'm sorry I used you."

I continued to look at her I saw the anger leave those eyes and the sadness grow. I never meant to hurt her but she does not need me. I look down from her. I felt the last of my strength leave me. I did not even know I was not aware of the world around me.

Haley's Pov

I was pissed. I know that it is not something that is me but I was. I felt as if I was going to kill someone.

I look at Nathan and could not believe that he really thinks that I am going to leave him. I did fall for him before he broke my heart for the man that just destroyed his. I was not going anywhere. Well after I get done with something that is going to make me less pissed.

I grabbed my phone and called the one person that I knew was going to help me.

"Hello. This is Brooke. How can you help me?" Says the person on the other line.

"Hey Brooke, This is Haley and I need your help."

"How do you know I'll help you? I really don't know you."

"Gossip."

Just like that she was all over coming and getting us even though we were both wet. Once she got there I got Nate in the back and I hopped in the front.

"Where to?" She asks as I got in. I grin a grin that would make most people shiver.

"Karen's Café."

She looks at me and nods. She drove us there and once we were there she looks at Nate in the back.

"Do you need help with getting him inside?"

"No, I'll be right back. Then you can drive us to his place."

She looks at me as if to say, 'Where is my drama?'

I nod my head towards the café, and she nods.

I don't walk in to the shop, I barge my way in to it. This is going to happen fast and hard. I was not going to let this go by as if it is nothing. He is going to get what is coming to him.

"Lucas." As I say his name, like most people, he turns around.

The only thing that is herd in the room is the heavy slapping sound. "You had no right." Was the only thing I said.

With that done, I grabbed Brooke and out the door we went. I know that Karen is going to ask me when I come in on Monday, if I come in on Monday, what in the world I did what I did. I am going to tell her right out that her son was an ass and deserved that.

When we get in the car I could tell that Brooke might want the juicy details but she did not ask. The look on her face is 'dang did tutor girl just do that?'

I look back and watched Nate in his non-natural sleep and was happy I did what I did.

I was going nowhere.
