Two more chapters then we can start a new story. The new story will be the sequel and pick up where I left off. I know, why not just continue here, it's just, the story takes place in a whole new setting and I didn't want to confuse people, so I figured a new story would make sense. But anyway, next chapter:

Jordan

Chapter Eleven: Too Hard to Say Goodbye

Haley walked into the café and was immediately swept into Brooke's arms.

"OMG, tutor girl why didn't you tell me?"

"Tell you what?"

"That you're leaving, silly."

"I just found out today."

"I know." Brooke pulled her into another hug, "I'm gonna miss you."

"I'm gonna miss you too Tigger."

Haley broke apart and walked up to the table. Lucas was looking around confused.

"Where's Nathan?" he asked.

"He's not coming."

"Why?" the group asked in unison.

"I told him I was leaving tomorrow and he locked himself in his room blasting his rap music." Haley was trying really hard not to cry, but the tears came anyway.

Lucas pulled her into a hug. "Don't worry, he'll come to his senses."

"Do you think so?"

"I know so." he kissed the top of her head. "And if he doesn't, then he's a bigger jackass then I thought he was.."

That made Haley giggle and then Peyton jumped in.

"Move over Luke." she pushed him out of the way. Peyton pulled Haley into a hug and then whispered in her ear.

"It'll be okay Hales. We'll still keep in touch." She began to cry and Haley couldn't help but weep with her. Soon, everyone was crying, embracing, and just enjoying being with each other. They pulled apart and Lucas suggested they order.

"Nah, why don't we go to TRIC?" Haley asked.

"Tutor girl, perfect thinking." Brooke dragged Haley by the wrist. "Let's go."

OTH

Nathan was laying on his bed, looking up at the ceiling, tears overcoming his body while his music blasted in his ears. He couldn't believe that Haley was going to be gone. He couldn't believe that he had shut her out like he did. Yeah, he could be an ass sometimes, but, he still wasn't sure why he had let his anger and sadness overcome him. He was going to miss her, yeah, but it didn't mean it couldn't work. He dried his tears and got up. Nathan opened up his cell phone and dialed Haley's phone number.

"Hello?" Haley slurred into the phone.

"Hales, are you drunk?"

"Just a little bit Nate." Haley was jumping up and down, dancing to the beat, as she held her cell phone close to her ear. "What's crackin?"

Nathan let out a chuckle. "Look, Hales, I'm sorry for earlier. I'm really gonna miss you and I want to spend time with you."

"Well, you should have thought of that earlier. Now I'm too wasted to care."

"Haley, you don't mean that."

"Yeah I do." Haley chugged a little bit of her drink and threw the glass at some random guy. "You really hurt me Nathan."

"I know, but I didn't mean to." he begged. "I love you."

"And I love you too, but why did you shut me out?"

"I thought that the less time I spent with you before you left, the pain would be gone. But I was wrong. I feel more lonely now then I will be when you're gone. I want to make this work."

"Well, I still think you should have called me sooner. I'm leaving in less then twelve hours and now there's nothing we can do about it."

"Yes there is, please. Just let me come pick you up, I want to spend time with you." Nathan begged.

"No, listen to me. I don't want you to come and pick me up."

"Right, you say you love me and then you refuse to be with me!" Nathan yelled into the phone.

"Will you let me finish!" Haley screamed as loud as she could.

"Yes." Nathan said softly, honestly scared to death of her tone of voice.

"You can't come and pick me up because I'm coming to you." Haley headed over to the direction of her friends. "I'll be there soon."

"Hales, don't you dare drive drunk." Nathan said "You can't even drive sober."

"Oh, just be ready for when I come flying in."

"No, please have Lucas or someone drive you."

"I gotta go, see you soon."

Haley hung up and walked over to Lucas.

"Car borrow your can Lucas I?" Haley asked in a jumbled form.

"Huh?" Lucas asked.

"She said borrow I Lucas can car you." Brooke giggled.

"No, she said Lucas car can you I borrow." Peyton laughed out loud.

"Jake, do you have any idea what their saying?" Lucas asked.

"They said that Haley asked if she could borrow your car."

"Oh." Lucas turned to Haley "No."

"Okay, well then I guess I'll walk." Haley wobbled towards the door.

"Where are you going?"

"Nathan to see." Haley giggled. Lucas gave her a quizzical look. "To see Nathan, sorry."

"Oh, well then I'll drive you."

"No."

"Please."

"Fine, because your just so damn loveable."

"Thanks Hales, you too."

Lucas and Haley went towards his car and she hopped in. As he drove she bounce up and down on the seats until they finally arrived. Nathan was sitting on the porch. Haley climbed out and skipped giddily over to Nathan.

"Nathan!" She engulfed him into a hug.

"Hey, Hales, I can tell your excited to see me."

She pulled his lips to hers. "You bet sexy." She pulled him towards the house. "Let's get it on!"

"I can't argue with that." Nathan turned to Lucas. "I'll bring her over to Peyton's tomorrow, okay?"

"Fine. See ya later bro."

"Bye." Nathan went into the house. He scooped Haley into his arms causing her to giggle like a little school girl and he finally reached his room. She kissed his neck and was aiming for his mouth. Before she got there she stopped abruptly and pushed him off of her.

"Hales." he called. She ran to the bathroom and stuck her head in the toilet. There she puked. "You okay."

"Oh yeah, just fucking peachy." Haley replied sarcastically between throwing up.

Nathan picked up her hair and soothed her by rubbing circles on her back. When she was finally done, he looked at her as her eyes began to droop. She collapsed into his arms, her head hitting his chest, and he smiled down at the sight. Picking her up once more, he laid her in his bed and laid beside her, watching her chest rise and fall. Even though they weren't talking. This night together was one of the best he could ask for. With his arms wrapped around Haley's tiny waist, he fell asleep.

OTH

Nathan awoke a several hours later to the sound of something coming through the window. His eyes adjusted to the small light and he looked. Haley was gone. He got up faster and looked out the window, he saw Haley's petite body running across his lawn. Why would she leave so fast. He looked around for shoes to put on when he saw a note next to where Haley had once laid.

Sorry I left, parent's called, they will be here at around 9 a.m. and we'll be at the airport around 11. Meet us there to say goodbye. Love you. Haley.

Nathan smiled. At least she left him a note. He looked at the clock, it read 8:36. He threw the note down back on the bed and ran to the bathroom to take a shower. He was eager to see Haley but not so eager, to say goodbye.
