No ones POV

Its been 3 days and it was finally Brooke's wedding day. Through out the whole day, and the past few days Haley has been avoiding Nathan. Everytime she saw him she walked faster and went somewhere else.

My tears run down like razorblades
And no, I'm not the one to blame
It's you ' or is it me?

Damn I need to talk to her! Nathan thought as he kept watching Haley dance with Brooke and Peyton. Shes beautiful... Damn I screwed up so much... I went outside and sat under a tree.

He heard footsteps and looked up. And in front of him... was Haley.

He got up quickly and stood there looking at her. Finally he broke the silence.

"I've missed you..." He looked into her eyes and he saw pain. Oh God...

"Surprisingly me too." They stood there in silence. "Look--" They both said at the same time. "You first..." Haley said.

"Look... I know we've not known each other for a long time... but... please Haley. I want to be with you. I was in pain... and I was bummed out that you said no... and that I said yes. I was so confused and... I wasn't thinking!" "Nathan--" "Look Haley... I want to be with you. I want all the same things you want. I know you know that. Why would i keep trying to talk to you?"

"Nathan. Look. I've missed you... so so much. But... You said YES! When I left! I heard you! And... you know it's kinda obvious that if you like someone then... you keep liking that person! You don't sleep with someone else to ease the pain!" She had tears forming in her eyes now.

And all the words we never say
Come out and now we're all ashamed
And there's no sense in playing games
When you've done all you can do

"Haley! I didn't sleep with her! I kept thinking about you!" His voice was getting higher.

"Did you stop her?" She asked me. Now tears were rolling down her face. I didn't say anything.

"I guess that's my answer..." She started to walk away.

But now it's over, it's over, why is it over?
We had the chance to make it
Now it's over, it's over, it can't be over
I wish that I could take it back
But it's over

"Haley!" I yelled, but she didn't turn back.

I lose myself in all these fights
I lose my sense of wrong and right
I cry, I cry
It's shaking from the pain that's in my head

I sat down and started to hit my head with a rock. (not in a bad way) I could feel my eyes watering up. I heard footsteps again and looked up fast to see if it was Haley.

But instead... it was the person I least expected... Peyton.

"Hey..." She said. He looked at her with a confused look.

"Okay look, Me and Brooke keep seeing you watch Haley. And I came out and saw you hitting your head with... a rock... which is kinda weird by the way... and... well I'm sorry." She looked down at the floor and they sat there in silence until he started talking.

"For what?"

"For slapping you... yelling at you... and for losing Haley."

"Why are you sorry?" He asked. He was really curious why she would do this. The last time he saw her she was a bitch.

"Well I'm not blind. I can see that you are actually sorry. And I can see that Haley still likes you. And I can see that... you two would be perfect for each other." She said. she looked at him and smiled. "C'mon... let's go in. I'll try talking to Haley. See if she can forgive you... but it'll take sometime." She got up and held out a hand.

"C'mon." He took her hand and got up. They went back into the room. They saw Haley walking into the bathroom. Peyton went after her while Nathan sat at the table and tried to get Haley out of his head.

I just wanna crawl into my bed
And throw away the life I led
But I won't let it die, but I won't let it die

Peyton walked into the bathroom and saw Haley resting on the sink crying.

"Haley?" She asked softly. She touched her arm and Haley quickly turned around and hugged Peyton. She hid her face into her neck, and just cried.

Finally after her tears went away slightly, Peyton said something, "I talked to Nathan."

When Haley heard that she lifted her head up, backed away and looked at Peyton. "Why?" She asked. "Haley... I can tell that you like each other. You know you do. And you know he likes you." Haley glared at her and Peyton lifted her hands like she was innocent.

"Hey I'm just saying... why are you about to give up on you guys?" She put her hands down and haley just looked to the floor.

But now it's over, it's over, why is it over?
We had the chance to make it
Now it's over, it's over, it can't be over
I wish that I could take it back

"He didn't try to stop it... I believe that he didn't have sex with Rachel... But he didn't try to stop!" Tears were falling from her face again. "He told me he was thinking about me! If he was... why wouldn't he do ANYTHING about the slut that was all over him!? God I HATE HIM!" Her hand went to her mouth as she just cried even more.

"Haley... I can see the way he looks at you. He loves you... And I know you do to." She said softly.

"I DON'T LOVE HIM! I HATE HIM!" Haley yelled again. Peyton thanked God the bathroom was empty and soundproof.

"HALEY DO YOU HEAR YOURSELF?! I know you love him! And I know that he loves you! If he didn't, why would he keep trying to get you to talk to him!? Why is it that after you left, he had TEARS in his eyes!" She was now inches away from Haley and they were looking at each other straight in the eyes.

"And if YOU don't love HIM... Then why are you crying like this? Why are you making such a big deal of this... this guy that you've only known for 5 days? Why do you feel so... BROKEN?" Peyton held Haley's hand. "C'mon Haley. Give him a chance He's worth it."

She let go and left Haley in the bathroom alone thinking.

I'm falling apart, I'm falling apart
Don't say this won't last forever
You're breaking my heart, you're breaking my heart
Don't tell me that we will never be together
We could be, over and over
We could be, forever

The wedding ended. And they all went back to the hotel. After a long time of thinking she finally went to Nathan's room... and knocked on the door. He answered and looked at her and smiled. He hugged her tight... and she hugged him back. But the let go and pushed him away after a little while.

"C'mon Hales... you gotta believe me here. Just forget this ever happened. We both know that we should be together. We know everything about each other, we can tell if the other person is hurt, I can tell by your eyes that you're in pain! And if you let me... I can take away all the pain. I can take it away... if you just give me a second chance..."

"Nathan... Why didn't you stop her?" She asked looking into his eyes. She saw tears, she too felt her eyes watering up.

"Haley, I wasn't thinking! I was TRYING SO HARD to get you out of my head! I thought that maybe if I slept with her, I could somehow get over you!" He said.

She looked away like she didn't believe him.

"Haley... I... I love you." "Nath--" She was cut off when his lips crashed onto hers.

He held her close to him. She kissed him back, and felt his touge run across her bottom lip and she let him in. She wrapped her arms around his neck and pulled him down closer to her. They kept kissing but they had to stop since humans need to breathe. She held onto him and smiled against his lips.

"I love you too." She said as her mouth dove into his again.

It's not over, it's not over, it's never over
Unless you let it take you
It's not over, it's not over, it's not over
Unless you let it break you
It's not over
