"What the hell was teen mom doing here?" Haley asked, with her hands now on her hips.
"Bennett got sick so i helped her out." Nathan was offended by her comment because he was to, a teen parent.
"What about her mom?" She asked.
"Look Hales, she's a good friend of mine and her son was sick so i helped out. And besides her mom is sick!" Nathan snaped.
"Oh my god Nathan did she spend the night with you?"
"Yes but nothing happened." Nathan began to say until Haley walked past him and into his apartment. Once he was in the apartment he shut the door. Thats when she turned around to face him.
"Come on Nathan, she's a total slut isn't that what got her in that situation? Don't tell me nothing happened." She moved her hands in motion with her arguing.
"Nothing happened! We were at the hospital for most of the night and she didn't want to wake her mom so she crashed at my house. Why don't you trust me?" He asked, very hurt.
Haley walked closer up to Nathan and placed her hand on his bicept. "Its not you that i dont trust baby, its that tramp. Who knows how many guys she slept with before she got pregnant." Haley said very rudely.
Nathan looked at her in shock and backed away. "I do. Brooke is not like that at all."
"Like you really knew who she slept with." Haley yelled.
"I can't believe you, Hales. I thought you were past your bitchy state!" Nathan yelled back.
Haley wiped the tears on her face and cried, "I am. Its just ever since Brooke got here- I just. Nathan just promise me something."
Nathan looked down at Haley, "What?"
"That you love me, and not her. I need to know that i stand a chance." Haley said, tears were still rolling down her cheeks.
For a second Nathan wondered that to. He wasn't so sure how he felt about Haley anymore, which is because of Brooke. If Haley was like this, he wasn't so sure about them like he thought. At graduation he thought for sure that him and Haley would really last but now things were changed. Then Nathan said what he truely felt, "Hales i love you, but this jealousy needs to stop. I can't be with someone that doesn't trust me."
Haley smiled, slightly. "I trust you with all my heart." And then she put her hand around his neck and kissed him.
Nathan held onto her and that kiss. He really did love Haley a lot but sometimes she was just too much. Hopefully she will get back to being herself and not so paranoid. After the kiss he still held her tight to his chest. They stayed right there alittle longer and then they went into the kitchen and started making breakfast. They made a huge omelet filled with cheese, meat and vegetables.
Brooke came home with a smile on her face. She felt a connection between them, and this strange feeling wouldn't leave her stomach. When she walked in the house Victoria was cooking breakfast and Rachel was helping her, they were glad to see them home but also alittle angry. "Young lady where have you been all night?" Her mom asked.
"Well Bennett got sick with a virus so me and Nathan took him to the hospital." She said and sat Bennett down on the counter.
"Is he gonna be alright?" Her mom asked, but didn't stop stirring the eggs.
"Yes. ANd the reason why i didn't come home last night is cause i didn't want to disturb you, and so i stayed at Nathan's." Brooke looked over at her sis.
"Ooh-la-la. Did my little Brookie get some?" Rachel cooed.
"Rachel!" Victoria looked at her other daughter in surprise.
"No mom, I didn't get any. So shut your trap. Me and Nathan are just trying to be good parents." Brooke said sarcastically.
"Well good. I don't need to have anyother grand children, at least not now." Victoria teased.
"Okay well me and Bennett will be up stairs. Call me when everythings ready." Brooke picked Bennett baack up and started to leave.
"Alright, good to have you home sweetie." Victoria hollered into the hallway.
Brooke went upstairs and changed into some sweats and a white T-shirt. Then she and Bennett played with his toys until grandma called them down for eggs, bacon and toast. They ate and then all watched t.v together in the family room. They were enjoying eachothers company and having a lot of fun. Thats when Victoria got up to use the restroom. She left the girls around 11am and when she didn't return in tweny minutes the girls went to go check on her. Brooke and Rachel called out her name but there was no answer, everything was quiet until RAchel screamed in the doorway of the bathroom. Their mother was passed out on the floor with blood running down her nose. Brooke ran down stairs and called 911 and then she called Nathan. Within the 3rd ring he picked up.
"Hello?" Nathan asked.
"Nathan you need to meet me at my house. The ambulence are on their way to pick up my mom, shes passed out on our bathroom floor. I need you to watch Bennett." Brooke panicked, all she could think about was her mom.
"Alright, im on my way." Nathan said and then hung up.
"Who was that?" Halet asked.
"Brooke, her moms very sick and i need to watch him for her." Nathan grabbed his wallet and keys.
"Can i come with?" She asked.
Nathan remebered their conversation earlier and then said, "Yeah, lets go."
Nathan and Haley pulled up to Brooke's house within in ten minutes. The ambulence was already bringing Victoria out of the house on a gurnee, with only two people pushing the tiny woman. Brooke was out infront with her sister and Bennett in her arms, she was crying and wiping her tears off at the same time. When she saw Nathan walk up with Haley, Brooke wasn't to pleased but that was the least of her worries so she handed her son over and got into the ambulence truck. Rachel watched the big red truck leave and then she turned around to Nathan and said, "Why did you bring it along?"
"Excuse me?" Haley got up in Rachels face and then laughed when Rachel backed away.
"You aren't welcome to get in my face, let alone in our house. You hate Brooke and me so what the hell are you doing here?" Rachel snaped and then gave Nathan a dirty look.
Thats when Haley backed off and nudged Nathan to step in. He said, "Come on Rachel, she's not being rude now."
"I don't care, she's absolutely disrespectful to Brooke. She doesn't need to be here. Don't you get it? The only reason why she came was to be with you, she don't give a rats ass what happens to my mom!" Rachel yelled.
Nathan turned to Haley to see if that was true.
Haley was angry now and said, "Go to hell Rachel." and then she left down the driveway and sidewalk.
"Are you happy now?" Nathan said, then went inside the house and slammed the door.
"Yes now im happy." Rachel said to her self and then drove off to the hospital.
Nathan sat on the couch with his son and watched some t.v. Bennett was soon sleeping peacefully up against his father. He took his regular nap and woke up at the same time as his mom called. Nathan picked up the phone and said, "Hello?"
"Hey." She whispered through the phone.
"Hey, hows your mom doing?" Nathan asked concerned. He truly was worried about Victoria, and hoped she was alright.
"She's stable now. I'm not so sure if everythings alright. Hows Bennett, is he feeling better?" Brooke asked.
Nathan smiled down at his son who was just waking up, "He's just now waking up from his nap. And he doesn't seem as hot so thats a good sign."
"Oh greaat! Thanks again, i'll check up again soon and let you know when im on my way." Brooke said.
"Okay see you later." He said and then hung up.
Brooke got back around 1am. She got back inside her house and tip-toed her way up to her and Bennett's room. The light was obviously wasn't on but when she peaked in Nathan was rocking Bennett back and forth in the rocking chair. The little lamp on her dresser was on, so she could see both of them clearly. "Hey, whats he still doing up?"
Nathan looked up from his son and sighed, "Well he went to sleep but ended up waking up calling for you."
Brooke smiled and walked in the room, when she walked towards them Bennett was already reaching for her. "Hey baby boy."
Once he was on his mom, Bennett fell right to sleep. Brooke sat down on the floor and was leaning against her bed. When she looked up Nathan, he was dosing off. She laughed and said, "You can go if you want."
Nathan opened his eyes and said, "I'm alright."
She smirked at his remark, even if he tried to convince her it wouldn't work. Brooke knew him too well. "Fine. So when did Haley leave?"
"She didn't. Rachel scared away her before she even stepped foot in your house." His lips slightly curving, trying to deny a laugh.
"Can't sayy i blame her. I mean she hates me, the clear reason she came was just to be with you." She said and then continued to say, "Can't say i don't blame her there either."
"I love her Brooke. I really do."
Brooke wasn't so sure he mean't that. "Then why are here with me."
"I loved you. So much, before you left and never called. For three months i grieved for you, i was so in love with you. But then i got over it. I was sick of being miserable and wondering where you were or if you were ssafe. Finaly i got over that mess, and now in a weeks time i-i just don't know." Nathan argued. "You could've had me but you chose to leave.
You missed your chance Brooke."
Those words shattered her heart, she broke down crying. "I know i screwed up but i was so young and stupid."
"You kept our son from me, now am i just to supose to go on like you didn't do that. I loved you Brooke! I would've been a great help but-but you were just to-damned stuborn! I bet you didn't even think about the other people you were guna hurt when you left." He looked down at his son who was now laying on his stomach on his mother's bed.
"I did. I wanted to be with you so badly ! But i was convinced that-."
"That what Brooke?" Nathan was now standing up by the door.
"That you wouldn't want to deal with us. I didn't want you to have to give up your senoir year." Brooke cried.
"I should've had some say, Brooke! He's my child to." He said just loud enough not to wake Bennett up.
Brooke stood there infront of Nathan, she looked at him with desperate, saddened eyes. She truly felt awful right no, nothing was going right. Her mom was barely alive and the guy she loves doesn't love her back. "Does he?" Brooke asked herself. Then she looked Nathan in the eyes and said, "Do you, still love me?"
