Sorry about the long wait I have had too much going on to even think about writing! Anyway this is a very short almost filler chapter but I hope you enjoy it anyway!

"Nathan she wants to see you"

He snapped his head up at this comment and shakily walked towards the door to haleys hospital room. He opened the door and shyly smiled at Haley. It had been 2 days since her accident. She still couldn't remember anything but she was quickly recovering.

"Hey, you wanted to see me?"

"Nate" she said with a smile then motioned to the chair next to her bed.

"How are you feeling?"

"A lot better… so I guess I should start by saying thank you-"

"Hales you don't need to do that"

"Nate you saved my life, I believe that, so thank you."

"I would do anything for you" he whispered to himself however Haley heard him. She tried to move her body more in her bed so she could face him more.

"I'm leaving Nate"

"What?!"

"There's this great recovery place in Florida, close to my family, I'm moving there un-"

"No! I let you leave once and it was the biggest mistake of my life! Please you can't leave me again!" Nathan begged, tears threating to fall from his eyes.

"I'm moving there... until I recover... then I will come back to tree hill, it is my home and I belong here, the thing is Nathan you'll be going back to college soon and you have your own life to lead, so when I leave you need to sort things out, decide how you really feel, what you really want, I love you Nathan and if you still love me when I come home then maybe we can try again, but until then live your life in a way that makes you happy, can you promise you will do that?"

"You're coming back?"

"I promise"

"Then I promise to wait for you. I would wait forever hales"

Haley wiped the tears that were falling down his cheeks with her thumb.

"You should go now, take care of yourself Nathan"

Nathan nodded and rose to his feet. Before he turned to leave he brushed Haley's hair with his hand and left a soft kiss on her forehead.

"I'll see you soon Haley James" were his parting words.

Haley stroked her forehead where he had kissed her. Did she want to leave? No. but she had to. She needed to recover and she needed time for Nathan to really think about what he wanted. She would always want him and if he still wanted her they would happily be together but with all the drama recently she needed to make sure his feelings were real. Plus she needed to keep Nathan out of danger. She knew it was rick that attacked her. It was obvious. But she didn't want Nathan getting hurt. If she left hopefully things would cool down and they could be safe and happy together again.

Of course this was only wishful thinking.

Sorry I know its dead short but oh well. Hope you enjoyed it anyway. R&R
