So the end of my Story.. I know you're all gonna want a Sequel after this.. But just make sure to let me know!
I've decided that because of everything that happened and Haley's character to make the end... Well just see and let me know.
10. Will this disaster end here?
She never saw Taylor again. Not when her parents returned to her home for thanksgiving not when they returned for the holidays.
Slowly bit by bit Haley tried to pick up the pieces, but all it did was remind her of all she lost this summer. Nathan had kept on sending little presents over that past months, but Haley had long stopped opening them. She only read the cards.
When Brooke bounced into her apartment on a Friday afternoon, with the news that Nathan had returned to town to celebrate Christmas with the Scotts, she merely nodded and went on with her Christmas preparations. "You're not even gonna see him?"
"Why would I? I'd just be torturing myself." Haley went on, with unpacking her groceries, trying to seem indifferent to the news. But deep inside she hoped to see him, hoped he came to see her, hoped he would try to fight for her.
"You know Hales, you're acting all cool, but since you and Nathan broke up, you've been the most wanted gal in school and you barely respond when someone other than me talks to you!" Haley nodded.
"True, 've got other things on my mind than men right now." Brooke got quickly annoyed by Haley up held aloof attitude. "Listen honey, if you're not going to take action, Nathan is going to find some cute, short, beautiful, hot girl pretty soon and wonder why he bother spending all that money on presents every day, since you don't care and he's hot and wanted!" Haley shrugged.
"If he thinks he's ready for that, than that's good. He needs to move on, because him and me, were through." Brooke hissed angrily and pulled Haley away from her groceries by her hair. "You are lying to yourself! Have you forgotten I'm the one that pulled off the floor once you knew the truth from Taylor? You Love him! You hate Taylor for making you leave him, but you'll never admit that you'll be heartbroken, when he finally gives up on you!"
"Au! Let go! I'm fine. Nathan is fine. We are FINE. Stop making it more than that!"
Frustrated, she pushed Brooke out of her apartment. "See you later Brooke!" And shut the door. She took a deep breath and sat down at her piano. Slowly, starting to play a gentle melody. "I've run out of complicated theories.."
Her mailbox made noise and she looked up to find a little orange card fall to the floor. She recognized it immediately as the kind of cards Nathan send with his presents. She found herself jumping up from the seat and picking it up from where it fell to the floor. She opened the little card, no present attached to it.
"I don't know where to start or where to stop. But I know I am done I've had enough. So fall, out of my head, out of my heart. And when you hit the ground. You'll be sorry that I'm not around. – Love Nathan." Haley sat back on the seat and stared in disbelief at the note. Brooke was right. He gave up, and somehow she wasn't fine with it as she so certainly told Brooke.
It was the goodbye note, one like all the others, with lyrics like all the others, but with lyrics she'd listened to a lot in the time he'd left her. She suddenly felt the tears roll over her cheeks..
She placed the card on top of the piano and placed her fingers on the keys. That same soft melody resounded from her piano while her tear-spilling eyes remained on the card, picking up where she left off.
"..So now I'm taking back my words
and I'm preparing for the breakdown
Your t-shirt's lost its smell of you
And the bathroom's still a mess
Remind me why we decided this was for the best
Because I miss you love
I miss you love
I miss you love
I miss you
Love..
I know the distance is a factor
But I stretch as often as I can
My goal's to reach your hands any day now
Please don't blame me for trying
To fix this one last time
I have a hard time as it is…
Don't act like you don't know me
It's still me I never changed
I'll be here when you come back
And I miss you love
I miss you love
I miss you love
I miss you love
I miss you love
I miss you love
I miss you love
I miss you
love.."
She whispered a 'I love you' at the end and wrote down the words on a piece of paper.
She really had wanted to deny with whole her heart that she loved him, but she couldn't. No matter how much he hurt her, he was always going to be the love of her live.
Tears filled up her eyes once more as she folded her piece on paper in two and slipped it into an envelope.
It was Eleven days after Christmas and fifteen since Nathan wrote his goodbye note to Haley, he strolled through the park hand in hand with a pretty blonde girl. He had, upon his return to Tree Hill, decided to let go of Haley. She hadn't responded to any of his presents, or cards. Only at Christmas day, this girl he met on the first day of Freshman year, called him saying she had no place to go and found his phone number – One he'd given her with the mere intention for them to be friends because even though he was mad at Haley he did love her. So she came over and she stayed in Tree Hill ever since.
"You know, it feels good Peyton. To let go of all the past. I'm glad you agreed to take this slow though." Peyton rolled her eyes. 'You know for a basketball hero you're kind of a wuss. I mean 'taking it slow?' I thought only girls used that term?" He rolled his eyes in respond and pocked her side. "Ah!" She giggled. "Stop it!"
"Why is all this anyway? Bad relationship?" Nathan shook his head. "Good one, that's the problem. We were together for over two years, we lived together. I even proposed to her." Peyton stared up at him.. "Wow…"
"So what happened to all that greatness?' Nathan pulled her down on a bench and held her hands. "I wass an idiot, and my dad and asshole. He wasn't very keen on Haley, or our relationship so…" Peyton nodded.
"I like you Nate, even though you're not the regular guy." Nathan chuckled and pulled her in for a sweet kiss. "Thank you, I like you too."
She closed her lips on his once more. Nathan pulled away grinning. "Come on, let's get hot chocolate." Peyton giggled and wrapping her arms around his neck, "Take me, Hero."
Nathan lifted her in his arms. "Your wish is my command lady.."
Haley stood at the corner of her Scott's drive way with the envelope in her hands. The small brunette stood there fidgeting with the envelope watching the love of her life carry a tall blonde girl into his home. The girl smiled splendidly at him and his infamous smirk was plastered all over his face.
She felt the stab in her stomach. Hurt. Jealousy. Pain.
Nathan pressed his lips to the girls mouth and didn't come up for air for a long time. Her knees buckled thinking about that way he used to kiss her.
Slowly the tears returned, as she felt the air punched from her lungs. She breathed short breaths and knotted the envelope. Clenching her jaw, she breezed and walked up the driveway.
Taking another deep breath she pushed the envelope with the word 'Nathan' written on it through the mailbox.
Tada.. Sequel? I know, I wanted to let the end open because of everything that happened. But I wanna thank kaya17tj for the plot and all the help with wrting it.. Thanks!
Love Philine!
