Chapter Ten: Moving and Meetings
After leaving Nathan's house in a hurry Peyton decided to let her mind drift, mostly towards Haley's comment about not being a singer. It was out of the blue, that statement and it surprised Peyton to be honest.
Peyton smiles as she remembers the first time that she hears Haley sing. It was a few weeks after they started dating and Haley was telling Peyton about the things she wanted to try like snowboarding and trying to sing. One night after closing at Karen's Café, Peyton sat Haley down in front of the piano and asked her to play something for her and she was glad that she had requested that because Haley was talented. She had taken the breath out of Peyton.
Another part of Peyton realized that Haley was still feeling guilty about leaving to do her music and Peyton could understand that, but she had forgiven Haley, but maybe Haley hasn't forgiven herself.
Peyton pulls out the letter she had received a month ago from her pocket.
Peyton,
I don't know if you will actually read this, but I want you to know that Haley is doing great. That was until she left the tour and there's not a doubt in my mind as to why. I'm writing you to tell you that you can't let Haley give this up because she isn't just raw talent she's phenomenal. She could change the industry.
You may hate me, which I totally can understand, but I'll be there if Haley wants to go further in her career.
Jessica (763-842-8874)
Peyton pulls out her phone and dials.

Haley makes her way into her bedroom and instantly grabs her suitcase and her clothes and starts packing. She was so happy that Peyton had asked her to move back home. It meant that things were going to get better for them and she couldn't help, but feel happy about that. She and Peyton were going to get back to Paley-as dubbed by Brooke Davis-and she doesn't know what else to feel except be happy.
~/~/~
Brooke walks into her apartment and hears noises coming from Haley's room. Brooke leans against the door and is shocked at what she sees. Haley was packing and Brooke didn't like that a bit unless it was to move back home, but Brooke being Brooke couldn't help, but ask that one question.
"Are you going on tour again?"
Haley looks up from what she is doing and smiles.
"No, but Peyton asked me to move back home. I'm actually going to get to live with my wife again."
Brooke smiles instantly and grabs Haley into a hug.
"I'm so glad you guys are back on."
Haley stops what she is doing and sits down on the bed.
"Brooke, I'm happy and everything, but I need your advices about something."
Brooke noticing the seriousness on Haley's face is at her side in an instant.
"Hales, what's wrong?"
"Remember when I had told Peyton that I had kissed Jessica," Brooke nods her head. "She was hurt when I said that and I totally get it, but what if something happened at another point, should I tell her?"
Brooke glares as Haley as her best friend protectiveness comes in.
"Did you kiss her again?"
Haley's eyes open wide.
"No, god no. I didn't kiss anybody, but freaking Nathan kissed me and I don't know if I should tell Peyton that because if could hurt her and I don't want to hurt her anymore."
Brooke sighs and grabs Peyton's hand.
"Chances are Peyton would find out eventually so I think you should tell her about it, but it's a whole other ballpark if you reciprocated, did you?"
Haley shakes her head no quickly.
"That's good, but I can't help you Haley, only you can help yourself on this one."
~~~/~~~/~~~/~~~
"I'm surprised you wanted to meet me."
Peyton rolls her eyes.
"I don't, but Haley has given up on her music and I don't want that. As much as I hate to admit it, her music came along way with you and I want you to work with her again."
Jessica smiles and nods her head.
"I'll do it, but I don't think your wife will agree on that."
"Don't worry about it. I'll have her meet you tomorrow at your place," Jessica nods her head. "Oh and Jessica," Jessica looks up from the ground and the minute she does a fist comes flying at her and then she's on the ground. "That's for kissing my wife!"
~~~/~~~/~~~/~~~
After her meeting with Jessica, Peyton walks into the house and up the stairs to her bedroom. She sees Haley lying down on the bed in shorts and a white tank-top with her cell phone clutched in her hand. Peyton looks at the clock and notices that it's a little after eleven at night. Deciding that it was too late to shower Peyton goes over to her dresser and notices Haley's clothes right alongside hers and it brings a smile to her face. Peyton decides to dress in a pair of shorts and a tank-top as well, Peyton puts them on.
Peyton grabs the phone from Haley's hand and sets it on the bedside table. Peyton goes to her side of the bed and gets in. She instantly scoots closer to her wife and spoons her from behind. Haley sighs in comfort and flutters her eyes open. Haley turns in Peyton's arms and smiles.
"I missed you. Where did you go?"
"I had some things to take care of, not to worry."
Haley starts tracing 'I love you' on Peyton's arm and Peyton smiles.
"I have to tell you something Peyton and I don't want you to overreact okay? I didn't want it to happen and Nathan is just acting weird."
Peyton kisses her wife quickly knowing that would get her to stop babbling.
"Haley, stop, I know about the kiss and I handled it. I've always known he had felt something for you."
"I didn't want it to happen."
"I know, but let's not worry about Nathan right now. Let's worry about getting some sleep."
Haley nods her head and snuggles more into Peyton's arms.
"I missed this with you."
Peyton smirks. "Well you don't have to miss it anymore."
