Chapter Twelve: Crazy In Love

"Do you need anything?"

"I'm fine."

"Some water?"

"I'm fine."

"Maybe something to eat?"

"I'm fine."

"Are you cold? Do you need a blanket?"

"Really I'm…" Nathan stopped, the last word died on his lips as a smirk slowly grew on his handsome features. "Actually, there is one thing."

"What?" Haley asked, willing to do whatever he wanted, as long as it helped him get better.

"You in a nurses costume." His smirk grew as her eyes widened and mouth went agape. "I can totally see you in leather Hales. Oh yeah." He closed his eyes, imagining it in his head. God he felt his body react just thinking about it.

"Nathan." Haley blushed, God she hated that he could get a reaction out of her. "I meant something that would make you feel better."

"Oh trust me Hales that would make me feel so much better." Nathan grinned sexily, trying to pull her onto the bed with him but she refused. "Hales!" He whined.

Haley couldn't help but giggle at his pouting lips. "No Nathan." She said sternly. "Doctor Harper told me that you need to stay in bed and to not move unless it's required, and especially none of that." She blushed just remembering that very embarrassing conversation with Greg. He'd told her that he'd advise them to not have any sexual activity until Nathan was fully recovered. That was an awkward conversation.

Nathan rolled his eyes. "He didn't mean I have to stay in bed at all times." He brought a hand up to his face and ran it over his newly shaved head. He was still getting used to his hair been short but it was growing back, slowly, but it was growing back.

"Did too." She told him.

"No he didn't." Nathan argued back.

"He did."

"Did not."

Haley let out an aggravated sigh, "You're infuriating."

Nathan winked. "Only for you." He then turned to look at the TV and let out a sigh. "There's nothing on, can I at least come through into the living room."

"No." Haley said stubbornly, she wasn't having him getting up and walking about to only have him fainting on her. It had been a little over a week since Nathan had gotten home from the hospital and they'd decided Haley would stay at his place. Obviously she didn't really have any other place to stay but Nathan wanted her to stay with him, and Haley could look after him this way. The operation had been successful, they managed to get the entire tumour, and Greg had made an appointment for a couple of weeks for Nathan to come back. Just to check how he was doing and to make sure he wasn't experiencing headaches or nausea and that he was all around okay.

"Hey, where're you going?" Nathan called out as Haley began to walk out of the bedroom. She didn't answer him though and he pouted slightly. He seriously loved her for taking care of him but she was driving him crazy!

"I'm so glad we decided to do this." Brooke smiled perkily, taking a sip from her large coffee cup.

"Me too." Rachel replied.

"I miss you too." Both their heads turned towards the third member of their little group.

"Haley!" They shouted together.

She looked up startled. "What?" She covered the mouth piece of her phone.

"We're supposed to be having some girl time and you're talking to Muscle McMusclesin." Brooke pouted.

Haley gave her a weird look before rolling her eyes with a small smile. "I gotta go." She laughed. "No. Have fun with the guys, but no moving." She told him sternly, giggling when he groaned, and both her friends rolled their eyes. "Love you. Bye." She hung up quickly before turning to her two friends. "Sorry." She flashed them a large unapologetic grin.

"What?" She asked when Rachel and Brooke continued to stare at her. "Do I have something on my face?"

"No." Rachel laughed.

"So what were we talking about?" Haley asked, lifting her large cup to her mouth and taking a long sip of the hot liquid.

"How sickeningly sweet you and Boss man are." Brooke giggled when Haley threw a sugar packet at her.

"We're not that bad." She defended.

Rachel scoffed giving her friend a teasing grin. "You're worse." She told her.

Haley rolled her eyes, scratching at her arm.

"Stop it." Brooke told her sternly.

Haley pouted. "But it hurts!"

"We know honey," Rachel smiled sympathetically. "Have you been putting the cream on it?" She asked.

Haley nodded, pulling up her shirt sleeve to show both girls the healing burns on her arm.

"How's your stomach?" Brooke asked, wincing slightly at her friends blistered and burnt skin.

"It's getting better. Not as painful." She smiled. "And the burns on my back and legs are healing well."

"And Nathan?" The red head asked.

"He's good. He's been taking his pills everyday and I put on the cream for him, so he's getting better." She smiled lovingly thinking about her boyfriend.

"How're things with you and Jake?" Haley asked, before taking a bite from her bagel.

Rachel tried to hide her grin behind her large coffee cup. "They're good." She told them, taking a sip of the hot drink.

Brooke and Haley exchanged looks. "Riiiiight." They both drawled.

"They are!" She giggled. "Okay, they're really good."

Her best friends smiled. "Good, you deserve to be happy Rach." Brooke reached over the table and gave the red heads hand a squeeze. Rachel had never really had a serious relationship, she just slept around. She wasn't a slut, no. She just genuinely liked men and sex. So to have her find a guy she liked? Well it was great, but to have her find a guy she liked that was Jake? Well that was awesome!

Rachel sent the two brunettes a smile she only saved for them. "What about with you and shower boy?" She giggled, and Haley soon joined her. Haley had told Rachel all about the whole shower incident.

Brooke pouted. "Shut up you guys!" She felt the sides of her mouth twitch upwards. "Yous suck." She took a bite from her bagel, chomping on it.

"Was he big?" Rachel turned to Haley, making them laugh even harder as Brooke huffed.

"Guys!"

"Pretty big." Haley answered, ignoring her friend. "But not nearly as big as Nathan."

"Haley!" Brooke exclaimed.

"Really?" Rachel smirked. "Shoe size?"

"Fourteen." Haley grinned.

"Jake's a thirteen." Rachel told her while licking her lips.

"Yous are mean!" Brooke huffed, folding her arms across her chest.

Rachel chuckled. "We were only joking Davis, stop being such a grouch."

"I'm not." She stated then sighed. "Okay I am, sorry girls." She smiled at the apologetically.

"Brooke." Haley spoke softly, as the taller girl stirred her coffee with her spoon, ignoring her two friends questioning stares. "Honey," She lay her left hand on her arm, stopping Brooke's movements. "Talk to us." She urged.

Rachel sent her an encouraging smile too; putting her hand on Brooke's other arm.

The brunette sighed, looking up at her friends. "It's just… I've been thinking about the apartment lately, all our memories are in that place. All our photographs." She felt her eyes gloss over. "And we can't get them back, not ever."

Haley and Rachel instantly moved closer to the distraught girl.

"It's okay B."

"No it's not Rach, it's really not." Brooke sobbed, a couple of tears falling down her cheeks. "All our memories were in that place."

"You're right Brooke." Haley said softly, "But we can make knew memories, take new photos. And we're all here, alive. I think that's worth something, don't you?" She asked teasingly which earned her a smile from the crying girl.

"Can I get yous anything?" A waitress asked, concern showing in her hazel eyes.

"Emm." Rachel squinted her eyes at the small girl's nametag. "Gigi, is it?"

She nodded.

"Can we get that chocolate cake?" The red head pointed to the large desert behind the glass at the counter. "To go." She added and Gigi nodded, walking away quickly.

Both girls cuddled into Brooke's sides, wrapping their arms around her shoulders, so they were cheek to cheek with the tall brunette.

Haley glared at a couple of woman, who looked about thirty, who were giving them disapproving looks.

"What?" She barked and the two women instantly went back to their conversation.

"Dude, that is nasty."

"I think I'm gonna throw up."

"That is so cool; will it leave like a scar?" Tim asked, eyes widening.

Nathan smirked at his friend's faces, before pulling down his t-shirt and sitting back on the couch. "Probably."

"Guys, I seriously think I'm gonna throw up." Skills told them, he never did have a strong stomach.

"It's not that bad." Nathan defended his burnt back. "Plus, it helps when you have a beautiful girlfriend to put the cream on for you." His smirk grew.

"You have it bad." Lucas commented, with a smirk of his own.

Nathan shrugged, not denying it.

"So how are things between you and Haley?" Mouth asked, before taking a sip of his water.

"They're good, really good." He grinned.

"I know what ya mean man." Jake smiled thinking about Rachel.

"Ditto." Lucas added.

Skills sighed. "We need to get girlfriends." He told Tim and Mouth who nodded in agreement.

"Talking of girlfriends." Mouth spoke up. "Didn't Haley tell you not to leave your bed?" He asked with a chuckle.

"Yeah. I love her for taking care of me and for been concerned, but I just," He groaned. "She's driving me crazy."

"Brooke's the same." Lucas stated. "Ever since we had that fight she's been like… I don't know, but it's as if she's worried about what she says to me." He sighed.

Suddenly they heard muffled voices outside the door.

"Shit!" Nathan exclaimed. "Guys help me into the bedroom." Lucas and Jake instantly helped Nathan up, making sure to be careful of his burns, they ere half way down the hallway when a voice stopped them.

"Nathan Scott." Haley tried to hide her smile. "What do you think you're doing?"

Jake and Lucas helped him turn around, and it was then they noticed the three girls tear stained faces. The two boys quickly rushed over to their respective other half's.

"Whoa." Haley commented, quickly rushing over to Nathan's side as she seen him tipping slightly. "Come on." She put one of her arms around his waist while he put his around her shoulder.

"You okay?" Haley asked softly as she helped Nathan lie down on the bed.

The raven haired boy closed his eyes, as the room started to spin. "A bit dizzy." He admitted.

"I'll get your tablet." She kissed his cheek before leaving the room.

"Hales you have to try this." Brooke exclaimed as she watched her friend walk about in the kitchen. "It's so good." She moaned, taking another large forkful of chocolate cake into her mouth.

Haley laughed at the heavenly look on Brooke's face. "I will." She told them, then grabbed the glass of water and made her way back to the bedroom.

"Here ya go." She smiled, climbing onto the bed beside her boyfriend. She watched as his face scrunched up in disgust as the blue pill entered his mouth and he quickly took a drink of the water, washing it down. "Better?" She asked after a couple of minutes and he nodded.

"Much." He smiled. "What's wrong?" He asked, wiping at her tear stained cheeks.

Haley shook her head laughing slightly. "We just got a bit emotional at lunch, thinking about the apartment and stuff." She shrugged.

"Knock knock." A voice spoke form the doorway and their heads snapped up to see all their friends standing with bog smiled on their faces. "Can we come in?" Brooke continued.

"Sure." Nathan laughed, as they all scuttled into the room, Mouth and Brooke sat on the bed whereas Lucas Skills and Tim sat on the floor and Jake sat with Rachel in his lap beside them.

"So did you get your pill Nate." Tim asked, saying 'pill' in a funny way.

"Dude, I'm not on drugs." Nathan told him slowly.

"Well you kinda are." Lucas told him.

"Yeah," Haley agreed.

"Whatever." He chuckled. They continued to laugh and joke around when Rachel suddenly noticed the time.

"We better get going." The red head told the group, standing up and entwining her fingers with Jakes. After saying their goodbyes everyone finally left over the course of half an hour.

"Tonight was fun." Haley commented, as she sat beside Nathan in their bed later on that night.

"Yeah." He said, his voice hoarse as she continued to softly rub cream for his burns up and down his back.

"Is that okay?" She asked, not wanting to hurt him.

"You have no idea." He told her truthfully, moaning slightly. She seriously had magic fingers.

"I love your hair like this." Haley admitted.

"Really?" Nathan smirked, looking at her over his shoulder as he lay on his stomach. "Enough to dress up in a nurses costume? Owe!" He exclaimed as she pinched one of his butt cheeks.

Haley smiled teasingly at him. "That's what you get." She then moved so she was lying on her side and she kissed him softly on the lips.

Nathan moaned. "God I missed you today." He admitted and moved onto his side, pulling her to him so he was spooning her, and he nuzzled his nose into the crook of her neck, blowing a raspberry there, grinning as she let out a loud giggle.

"Love you." He whispered into her ear.

Haley let a dazzling smile overtake her face at his words. "Love you more." She giggled at how cheesy they sounded.

Nathan shook his head with a smile and whispered into her skin. "Impossible."

So this chapter was light and fluffy :D Review please!
