Oh wow, I can't thank you all enough for the amazing reviews! They really mean alot, and I love to read what you all have to say about the story.
Sorry it's taken this long to update, I've been pretty busy but I hope you all enjoy this next chapter :)
Nathan drove down twenty four hours straight. He and Lucas switched placed every four hours. He was determined to get to Haley and soon.
"Hurry the hell up!" Nathan shouted, waking up Lucas.
Lucas rubbed his eyes as he yawned, "What's happening?"
"The damn traffic won't move!" Nathan said, glancing at his half awake brother.
Lucas yawned once again as he glanced at the clock on the dashboard flashing 5:23. Of course traffic wasn't going to move, it was rush hour at this time.
"Just when we're getting close too," Nathan hit the steering wheel
"Nate, you don't even know if she's here, so I wouldn't be getting my hopes up so high," Lucas told his brother
"She's here, I know it," Nathan told his brother, rather sure of himself
"She's my best friend, for all we know, she's in Tree Hill hiding out somewhere," Lucas stated
"She's my wife, I think I would know how she is," Nathan argued.
Nathan looked at his brother apologetically. "Look I don't wanna fight on who knows her more, I just want to get to her okay."
Lucas half smiled at his brother as he nodded. He understood that Nathan's mind was on one thing and one thing only, Haley.
Things were beginning to look for Haley. It was her second day with her parents and she was all smiles, although most of them were forced.
Haley had turned a new leaf, she had deleted Nathan's number out of her phone, taken off her wedding ring and put it away and deleted all of their pictures off of her phone.
She finally began to unpack the few bags she brought with her. One thing she knew for sure was that she needed a new wardrobe. Clothes she had never worn with Nathan around her.
Almost every outfit of hers reminded her of some moment with Nathan. The red dress she wore the night he surprised her for their one month wedding anniversary, the blue top that didn't stay on long because they made love in the rain, the black jeans that she wore when they relaxed on the grass together, holding hands and kissing every minute.
She vowed that as soon as she began to work to afford a whole new wardrobe, she would go out and buy a new one that would define the new Haley James…or at the moment, Haley James Scott.
Nathan parked his Honda civic in front of the large RV. He sat in the car, turned off the engine and stared straight ahead.
"We're here," Lucas told his brother who clearly knew that since he had driven there.
"What if she's not here Luke? Where could she be?" Nathan asked, worried.
"Well we won't go there until we know for certain that she's not in that RV with her parents," Lucas told his brother.
Nathan took a deep breath, "Okay, here goes nothing."
The brothers got out of the car, slowly walking up to the door of the RV and knocking on the window.
Nathan looked at his brother as he noticed his mother in law looking through the blinds. He wasn't sure how to explain the look in her eyes.
Lydia opened the door, letting herself out before letting the boys in.
She smiled as she stepped down, hugged Nathan tightly. "My son in law, how are you?" she asked, hugged him
"Hey Mrs. James," replied Nathan, he wasn't sure how they were on a personal level.
"Lucas Scott, my other son, get over here!" she yelled as she hugged Lucas tightly. Since he and Haley had been best friend for so long, she always thought of him as a son, just like Karen thought of Haley as a daughter.
"Look, Mrs. James-" Nathan began
"I believe I'm still your mother in law, enough with the Mrs. James," she told Nathan smiling
Nathan smiled at Lydia's kindness. He just hoped that Haley was the same way.
"I assume you're here for Haley," Lydia asked staring at the two boys. "You hungry?"
Lucas smiled, "We're starving!"
"But, we're here to see Haley," Nathan finished, staring at his brother.
"Now if I was a normal mother, I'd tell you she wasn't here. But I like you Nathan Scott and I know no matter what my daughter says, she still loves you"
Nathan smiled at Lydia's words but was interrupted when Haley came storming outside calling for her mother until she saw her best friend and husband.
Haley looked at the two boys, wide eyed and shocked. "What are you guys doing here?" she asked, arms crossed
"Hey Lydia, how bout that food?" Lucas asked, trying to give Nathan and Haley some privacy.
"Oh yea, come this way. Jimmy is going to be so happy to see you," Lydia smiled as she and Lucas made they're way into the RV leaving Nathan and Haley outside to talk.
"Are you going to answer me?" Haley asked without moving. "What are you doing here?"
"I came to find my wife," Nathan responded as gently as possible
"Wife?" Haley laughed at the word. "That's funny because about a day ago, you didn't know the definition of wife," she responded coldly.
Nathan looked down, ashamed of what he did.
"Look Haley, it was a huge mistake," he tried to convince her
Haley rolled her eyes, "Let me guess, it was a mistake when you kissed her, brought her to your room, took off one another's clothes, and had sex, right Nathan."
"Haley I was drunk out of my mind," Nathan lightly shouted
Haley didn't care much for his explanation, "Oh right, so let me guess it was a mistake that you went to grab that bottle of vodka too?"
"Haley-" Nathan began
Haley interrupted, "-No, I'll tell you what was a mistake, it was a mistake for me trying to fight for you, trying to fight for our love when you didn't put any effort into it. It was a mistake that I loved you with my whole heart and soul."
She continued with tears in her eyes, "It was a mistake that I didn't forget about you when you told me too and now it's a mistake that you came all the way."
"Haley, don't say that," Nathan begged
"I'm done…I'm done with you, with Tree Hill, I'm just finished with it all," Haley told him, defeated, letting the last tear fall from her cheek.
