Chapter 10:

Haley and Nathan were still on the beach together. Haley wasn't sure how exactly the kiss happened but she was happy about it all the same. She had been dreaming about this moment for years and it was finally happening. Nathan slowly pushed her back against the sand and laid on top of her still kissing her. Haley wrapped her arms around his neck bringing him closer to her. Haley could feel herself getting lost in his kiss until…

"HALEY JAMES!" Brooke yelled from a distance but still hadn't seen them. Nathan's head dropped down to her neck and he groaned at the interruption. Haley just let out a little laugh "We should probably get up before she starts freaking out" Nathan just nodded and got up reaching his hand out to help Haley up as well which she took. However, he didn't let go of her hand he just intertwined their fingers. Haley smiled at this and gave him a quick peck on the lips.

"Let's go!" She said dragging him in the direction of Brooke's voice who was still calling her.

"HALEY-" Brooke started but was cut off

"What Brooke?" Haley said as her and Nathan came into view.

"Where have you been? You left the arcade like an hour ago!" Brooke said running to Haley with Chase following close behind. "I was getting worried about you- " Just then Brooke noticed something "Wait a minute why are you guys holding hands, are you like together! " Brooke shrieked jumping up and down they just laughed at her. Haley just shook her head at her friend, typical Brooke. Brooke then pulled Haley away.

"Are you guys together?" Brooke whispered

"Uh I don't know you kind of just interrupted us!" Haley said with a smile

"Oh my god this is so great!" Brooke said excitedly

"Okay let's get back over there." Haley said

"Anyway, where have you been? We've been looking for you." Chase asked

"Sorry, I ran into Damien." Brooke just gasped as Haley told them the story.

"What an ass! Where is he I am going to kick his ass!" Brooke shrieked

"Don't worry Haley slapped him pretty hard!" Nathan said laughing.

"Way to go Haley!" Brooke exclaimed

"Are you okay though?" Chase asked

"Yeah, I'm fine" Haley said smiling at Nathan

"So do you guys want to head back to the site and watch a movie? That's what everyone else went to do." Chase said

"Yeah come on guys!" Brooke begged

"Yeah sure..Nathan your going to come right?" Haley asked hoping he would say yes.

"Yeah I'm in" He said giving her hand a light squeeze she just smiled in return.


The whole gang was squeezed in the tent watching the movie Grandma's Boy. Peyton and Lucas were on one twin mattress, Felix and Rachel were on the other twin, Chase and Brooke were on a queen mattress, Jake Anna and Bevin were on another, and Nathan Haley and Shelly were on anything. Nathan and Haley were on the far side of the tent near the wall of the tent. Nathan had his arms wrapped 

around Haley and she had her head resting on his chest watching the movie. No one seemed to notice them snuggled together besides Shelly. Shelly just smiled to herself they seemed like they were finally getting together. Haley then noticed Nathan starting to fall asleep. She reached up and lightly flicked him in the head joking around. Nathan jumped slightly not expecting it, Haley quietly giggled.

"You think that's funny huh?" Haley just simply nodded her head "Well how do you like this?" Nathan started tickling her causing her to squirm around and laugh really loud making everyone turn and look at them, Felix glaring in jealousy.

"NATHAN! STOP-PLEASE—AAHH!!" Nathan laughed but continued "I hate…being….tickled…please…STOP" Everyone just watched them laughing

"Say you sorry and that I'm the hottest guy in the world!" He said with a smirk

"I can't breath!" Haley manage to get out laughing. "Okay…okay..im sorry..."

"And?"

"YOUR THE..HOTTEST GUY IN THE WORLD" She yelled out quickly causing him to stop.

"Aw thanks Hales!" Haley just smacked him in the chest lightly. Then turned to face the wall pretending to be mad trying to get him back for tickling her, she hated to be tickled.

"I'm mad at you" She mumbled.

"No you not.." He said as he moved her hair off of her neck and leaned his head down to it. He began leaving hot sensual kisses on her neck wrapping his arms around her waist. Haley then rolled over and captured his mouth with hers. "Your right I'm not.." She mumbled against his lips kissing him once again wrapping her arms around his neck. Then she felt his tongue brush against her bottom lip. She immediately opened her mouth allowing him full access to her mouth. Haley was just getting lost in the kiss when a voice interrupted it.

"I'm going for a walk!" Felix said storming out of the tent.

"Ugh, As much as a want to stay here I have to go talk to him." Haley said

"Why?" Nathan asking kissing her neck once again.

"Because he's my friend and I know he just saw us that why he left. I'm sorry." Haley said giving him a quick peck on the lips.

"It's okay. You're a good friend." Nathan said kissing her one more time before she got up.

"I'll be right back guys." Haley said walking outside she immediately saw Felix sitting on the steps on the porch.

"Is this seat taken?" She joked taking the seat next to him. He sat there looking straight into the street not even looking at her.

"It's him..the guys you have feelings for…" He said clearly angry

"Felix, I'm sorry-" She began but was cut off

"No your not! If you were you wouldn't be making out with him right in front of me! You know how I feel about you! Just tell me is he the one you have feelings for?" Felix said beginning to yell.

"Felix! Lower your voice!"

"NO HALEY ANSWER THE DAMN QUESTION!" Felix screamed standing up causing Haley to stand to.

"YES I HAVE FEELINGS FOR NATHAN AND I'M SORRY YOU HAD TO SEE US KISSING BUT I REALLY CARE ABOUT HIM, GOD I HAVE SINCE I WAS 12! YOUR ONE OF MY BEST FRIENDS I DON'T WANT THAT TO CHANGE…PLEASE!" Haley said really upset.

"WELL IT HAS! IT KILLS ME TO SEE YOU WITH HIM!" Felix yelled again

"AND I AM TRULY SORRY FOR THAT BUT I AM NOT GOING TO STOP SEEING HIM I CARE ABOUT HIM TO MUCH! I AM HAPPY WHY CAN'T YOU JUST BE HAPPY FOR ME! YOUR WITH RACHEL WHO IS ANOTHER ONE OF MY BEST FRIENDS AND WHAT YOUR DOING IS NOT FAIR TO HER-" Haley was then cut off my another voice.

"WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON OUT HERE?" Rachel yelled clearly hearing the whole thing

"I'm going for a walk!" Felix muttered walking away

"Don't you walk away from me!"

"Try and stop me!" Felix said as he continued walking

"Rach, I can explain please." Haley pleaded

"What's going on between you two huh? You're supposed to be one of my best friends! I heard everything; hell everyone in the tent heard everything!" Rachel was furious. "I want the whole story and I want it now!"

"Well while you were at school a couple months ago I did have feelings for Felix and we kissed ONCE it never turned into anything! And the other night at the party he told me he wanted to be with me and I turned him down! I said it wasn't fair to you and I had feelings for someone else. Felix tried to kiss me but I pushed him away! I couldn't do that to you! Felix didn't take it well but I just ignored it because you are my best friend! I would never do anything to hurt you! Anyway we hadn't talked about out talk and 

Felix just saw me and Nathan kissing in the tent any he stormed out so I went to check on him. I'm sure you heard the rest! I don't want Felix I only care about him AS A FRIEND, Nathan is the only guy I care about! Rach, I am so sorry please!" At this point tears were forming in Haley's eyes.

"WELL IT DOES HURT HALEY! AND YES I DID HEAR YOUR CONVERSATION BUT HOW DO I KNOW I CAN TRUST YOU OR BELIEVE YOU NOW?" Rachel yelled.

"Because you're my best friend I'm sorry I didn't tell you I was going to I just didn't want to hurt you! Felix means nothing to me we are only friends. I don't want him, I want Nathan! You heard me talking to Felix, please! You're my best friend!" Haley said beginning to cry. "Please forgive me?"

"Okay, I believe you. But you still hurt me and so did Felix I just need time.." Rachel said walking off to find Felix. Haley just sat down on the ground and pulled her knees to her chest crying.


Meanwhile while they were arguing everyone was in the tent hearing every word, VERY confused.

"I am so confused what's going on with Felix and Haley?" Jake asked

"It's a long story but this can't be good Rachel is pissed!" Brooke said

"Wait Nathan, since when are you and my sister together?" Lucas asked

Nathan had a huge grin on his face and shrugged slightly "I don't know earlier..Is that okay dude?"

"Yeah! It's about damn time!" Lucas said. Nathan just laughed at this. Shelly lightly nudge her brother.

"Finally you stopped being a baby and told you how you feel!" Shelly said laughing

"Ugh shut up!"

Just then they heard Rachel leave, now it was time for damage control.

"Okay, I'm going to do some damage control and go talk to Rachel. Nathan can you handle Haley?" Brooke asked

"Already on it." Nathan said standing up heading out of the tent.

"Good, now Jake can you go talk some sense into you dumb friend Felix!" Brooke said standing up

" Sure, I am not really sure what's going on but yeah." Jake said standing up walking out of the tent with Brooke.


Once Nathan, Brooke, and Jake were outside Nathan immediately went to Haley. Brooke and Jake went off together to find Rachel and Felix.

Haley suddenly felt to arms wrap around her she knew who it was immediately and leaned into him.

"I'm sorry.." Haley mumbled

"For what?" Nathan asked

"Your always comforting me, I'm such a mess.."

"Shh it's okay!" Nathan said rubbing her bad trying to sooth her.

"Did you hear everything?" Haley asked

"Yeah I did" Haley just looked down "And I really care about you too.." Nathan said with a smile. Haley looked up with a huge grin on her face. He wiped the tears from her cheeks and leaned in and kissed her softly on the lips. "Do you want to go to sleep?" Haley simply nodded.


Meanwhile Rachel had found Felix and was screaming at him.

"HOW THE HELL COULD YOU DO THIS TO ME, WITH MY BEST FRIEND? YOUR SUCH AN ASSHOLE DID YOU KNOW THAT! AHH I LET YOU DO THIS TO ME AGAIN! EVERY FRIGGIN TIME WE GET TOGETHER YOU DECIDE YOU WANT SOMEONE ELSE!" Rachel yelled

" I'M SORRY I DIDN'T MEAN FOR THIS TO HAPPEN! I COULDN'T HELP IT BUT I FELL FOR HALEY!" Felix yelled back

"YOUR SUCH A F-" Just then Jake stepped in

"Okay, I understand you guys are both upset but it's one o'clock in the morning and you guys are yelling you need to chill out NOW or your going to get us in trouble! Felix let's go for a walk." Jake said walking away with Felix.

"Hey girly, you okay?" Brooke asked Rachel

"I've been better.." Rachel mumbled

"Listen Rach, Haley told me about what happen with Felix after the party. She really was upset about it because your one of her best friends. She didn't want to hurt you! She felt horrible, she just didn't know how to tell you. And you already knew Felix could be an ass!" Brooke said with a little laugh

"Really?"

"Yes! Plus if you can't tell Haley's totally head over heels in love with Nathan! She is just finally starting to admit it!" Brooke said smiling.

"Yeah, I'll talk to her. Thanks Brooke." Rachel said feeling bad for blowing up at Haley she just got caught in the line of fire.

"Good, now let's go its creepy out here!" Brooke said grabbing onto Rachel's arm. Rachel just laughed and walked with Brooke.


"Dude what the hell is wrong with you?" Jake asked as he walked with Felix.

"I want to be with Haley I was stupid a few months back." Felix said

"It's too late man I'm sorry. She's with Nathan, they seem happy. Not to mention what were you thinking, you can't go between best friends like that!" Jake said

"I just can't help it! If I didn't screw up months ago I'd be with her right now not Nathan." Felix said

"You can't think like that. Let her be happy dude. And do me a favor, figure thinks out with Rachel. If you don't want to be with he then don't, don't drag her alone." Felix simply just nodded his head in agreement.
