This chapter will be a little confusing because it's going to skip from scene to scene and I might not tell you who is talking in that scene….I hope you like.

**NH**

"Hey boss man, I found your next talent. She's going to be great. I've seen her in action."

"When can I meet her?"

"Well she's going through something right now but I can get her working in about a month. But I have some videos and songs from her."

"Ok, lets see it."

**NH**

"High Flyers. Mandi speaking, how can I help you?"

"This is Dan Scott. I want to speak to Eric Bailey."

"May I ask what about Mr. Scott?"

"My son Nathan Scott. Eric Bailey, please."

"Just one second, please hold."

Pause…

"Eric Bailey here. Hello Dan."

"Eric, I want you to personally invite for Nathan to High Flyer. He might change his mind if he is personally asked by the general manager."

"Dan. Nathan is already coming. He's scheduled to be here next week."

"What? How? When did this happened?"

"Hrm, Let me get his file. OK. A Miss Haley James Scott signed him back up about a month and half ago."

**NH**

"I found you a singer for your duet. You start recording in one month."

"Ok. Where?"

"Tree Hill."

**NH**

"He loves her. Its going to be harder than ever now."

"I'm paying you to get the job done. You said you could do it so DO IT! And find a way to get to Florida. Nathan will be going to High Flyers after all. I guess Haley James is not as stupid as I thought."

**NH**

"Junk, Junk, Bill, Bill, Junk. Blue Cross Insurance open immediately." Hm, what is this? Opening the letter.

"Oh Haley…"

Runs out of the door.

**NH**

"Hey."

"Peyton, what are you doing here?"

"I haven't seen you in a while. I just thought I would come by and say hi. Is that a crime?"

"No, Peyton. Of course not but you can't be here."

"Why not? Because of Haley and Brooke? I thought we were friends, Lucas."

Lucas sighs and moves from the counter. "We are. But you can't be here. What you did to Haley was harsh and she didn't deserve it."

"Luke, I was just speaking the truth. She left and didn't do anything to fix things"

"You know that's not true. She talked to me and Brooke all the time she was away. She called Nathan everyday. It was him that didn't take her calls, ignoring her, just being his assy self."

"That doesn't matter Luke! She still left him. She's married, its not just about her anymore."

"Peyton." Signed, "this is why you can't be here. You can't bad talk about my best friend and think that's ok with me. Its not. She was your friend too you know. And she went for her dream. She shouldn't be faulted for that and you don't know everything." Walking to the door and opening it for her, "I like for you to leave and don't come back until you have an open mind."

**NH**

"I know this is hard for you to think about but you need to move on from it. Ok? You can do this. I have so much faith in you."

"I…I just don't know if I can do it. I don't know if I can go back there."

"You can. You're one of the strongest person I know. You got one month before he gets there. You can do HJ."

**NH**

Knock knock

"Deb? What are you doing here?"

"Brooke, I was wondering if Haley is in."

"Hm, come in. I think she's napping. Let me go see." The two women walk in. Brooke leads them to the kitchen. "Have a seat. If you want something to drink, help yourself. Ok?" Deb nods and sits as Brooke walk to the bedroom.

Knock knock "Tutorgirl? Are you awake?" She opens to the door to an empty room. "Hales, where did you go?"

**NH**

"Hi"

"Hales" He pulls her to him, "I love you, I love you, I'm so sorry baby. I love you. Please forgive me. How are you and the baby?" He finally notices that she's not hugging him back. "Hales?"

"Nathan. I want you to go to High Flyers. I want you to leave."

"What? No Hales. I want to be here for you and the baby. I'm sorry. I know its mine baby. I know you would never cheat on me."

"There's no baby, not anymore."

"Hales?"

"I miscarried. Hm, anyways I want you to go. I need you to go."

"No, we need to work on us. I'm sorry Hales, I'm sorry for our loss."

"Nathan. You didn't want the baby. Don't lie and say you did. Anyways I need some time away from you and I think you do too. When you come back, we'll decide what we should do about our marriage."

"What do you mean what we should do about our marriage?"

**NH**

"Brooke, can we talk?"

"Sure. What do you need Luke?"

"I think we should try again."

**NH**

"Hey. I just want to come and say goodbye."

"Goodbye? What's going on Nate?"

"I'm going to High Flyers next week."

"Ok so why are you saying good bye now?"

"I'm going to spend some time with my uncle Cooper before going to Florida. Haley needs some time away from me and I will do anything for her."

"Take me with you."

"I can't do that Peyton. I need you to look after Haley for me."

**NH**

"Haley"

"Deb"

The older woman hugs the younger girl. "I'm sorry. For everything Haley."

"Why? Why now?"

"I know now how much Nathan love you and needs you. And I know if I want to be a part of his life, that's means excepting you and if I had to choose a wife for Nathan it would be you. Anyways, I wanted you to know that you can come talk to me."

"About what Deb?"

"I know about the procedure."

"Oh"

"Did Nathan tell you that I had an affair when he was younger?"

"Yeah. That's why he decided to live with Dan."

"Well he didn't know that I was pregnant from that affair. I was about four months pregnant when I miscarried." Pause "I had to have a D&C like you so you can talk to me. I know what you are going through."

**NH**

The raven hair boy with piercing blue eyes walked up to the red door. He was about the knock when he heard voices…

"Brooke. Don't be offended but how did you get so close to Hales?"

"Remember Nathan's party that Haley threw?" Seeing him nod, she continued. "Well the next day she come and apologize for not inviting me and kinda bitched at me for breaking his table. Anyways, we started to talk and spend more time together. She's the only person that knows about our pregnancy scare."

"Wow. I'm glad she was there for you. And I'm glad you stayed close when she went on tour."

"Did you know she come to see me before she left to go on tour?"

"No"

"Yeah, she just wanted to come by to say that eventho she was leaving, she was still going to be there for me."

"What did you say?"

"Well I asked about Nathan and what was going to happen. She said that she was doing this for herself and for Nathan. She told me about High Flyers. You know that girl is too smart sometimes. She wanted him to go and if she was on tour, he could go."

"Wow, she had it all planned out"

The raven haired boy left after that.

**NH**

"I'm sorry Hales."

"You don't get to call me Hales! Not anymore! I hate you!"

"I'm sorry Haley. I know you don't believe me but I am sorry."

"I hope you're happy. You destroyed me and my child. Did you know that?"

"Again I'm sorry. I didn't know. I'll pleaded guilty if you would do something for me. Work on your music, let it heal you. You are too good to give up. I'm sorry I tainted that for you."

"You are guilty Chris! You and Dan!"

**NH**

"You look like you can use a friend. I'm Julian"

**NH**

"I thought I might find you here."

"Nathan, what are you doing here?"

"I just wanted to let you know that I'm going to High Flyers."

"Good, I want you to."

"Also I wanted to let you know that I'm not giving up on us. We're meant to be and I'm going to prove it to you. I'm the guy for you." He leans over and kisses her cheek. "I'll see you later Hales."
