Letters To My Heart ch21
The day had finally arrived Nathan and Haley were going to get there first chance at meeting face to face. Nathan had been so excited since he received Haley's letter letting him know that she was coming to the family weekend. He also knew that he needed to stay focused as this weekend was important and a final chance for all the guys at the camp to show the scouts what they could do.
Matt came back in the room for getting of the phone with Haley, "How you holding up?" he questioned to Nathan seeing that he was nervous.
"Honestly, im more nervous about meeting your sister than I am about the scouts coming," he commented jokingly to Matt.
"Don't be nervous, I think Haley is nervous enough for the both of us. Just from talking to her there now, I know that she is really excited. You have nothing to worry about," he replied trying to reassure Nathan that everything will be okay.
"I just want to make a good impression on your family. Matt, can you do me one favour though?" he asked a little more nervous.
"Yeah sure what is it?" he asked a little curious.
"Can you keep Haley away from seeing me until my game is over, I need to focus on doing well for the scouts. As much as I want to meet your sister, getting into college for basketball. Is the only real chance I have of getting away from my dad," he commented to him.
"Yeah I can do that for you," he commented as he finished putting his trainers on.
"Thanks man and good luck today," Nathan spoke before leaving.
Haley had been up from the early hours of the morning. After their shopping trip yesterday Brooke insisted that she stay over and help Haley get ready for meeting Nathan. She was so tired that she had fallen asleep in the back of the car. Only woke up when her father had to quickly slam the breaks on, "What the hell was that?" Haley groaned having been woke for her sleep.
"Sorry sweetie, a dog ran out in front of the car," he father replied to her explaining the sudden breaking.
"Okay, so are we nearly there yet?" she questioned looking out the window.
"We still have about another hour to go," he r mother spoke answering her question.
"Well in that case, I'm going back to sleep," she spoke trying to make herself comfy again.
"Before careful sweetie you don't want to mess up your hair and your nice outfit," her mother commented trying to be funny.
"You're not funny mom," she replied before nodding off back to sleep.
Back at the camp Matt had his set of games up first. He had a quick look around the crowd to see if his family had arrived. They won't anywhere to be scene yet, he did see Nathan talking to a guy he seemed to know from somewhere. He would had to look into that later, as now he needed to focus and show the scouts just how well he could play.
Hey Nathan, how's it going?" the guy spoke to him.
"It's going well Lucas, I'm actually glad you could make it down this weekend," he commented to his cousin.
"Well mom didn't need my help in the café this weekend, lily is helping instead. So it meant I had the free time to be here. Anyways enough about me. What about this girl you're meant to meet today?" he questioned to him wanted to know more details.
"I was actually just looking around to see if she was here yet. She doesn't seem to be," he commented looking through the crowd again.
"Well does this girl have a name?" Lucas asked looking for more information.
"Yeah it's Haley James," he commented back smiling.
"I know that name, I think my girlfriend Brooke has a best friend of that name," he commented back to Nathan.
"Oh cool, well that's her brother over there. Number 12," he commented to Matt on court.
"Nathan you do realise that I know this family, I live in the same town as Matt," he replied once he realised who Matt was.
"No I didn't know that, I guess it really is a small world then. Haley is the one I have been writing and I get to meet her for the first time today" he commented explaining everything to Lucas.
"Hey Nate, have you spotted her yet?" he questioned referring to Haley.
"No not yet. This is my cousin Lucas and I believe you know each other," he commented to Matt.
"Yeah I know your face, your mom own Karen's?" He questioned to him.
"I love that place and so does my sister Haley and her best friend Brooke," he commented to him.
"Yeah actually I'm dating your sister's friend. Its only starting, so maybe Brooke hasn't had a chance to tell her yet," he replied to them.
"Oh well that exciting, stop to be rude guys I just saw my family walk in. So I better go say hello," Matt spoke excusing himself from the conversation.
Hearing that Haley had just arrived had Nathan really nervous, he knew he needed to stay focused for his games coming up, "Nathan don't worry and Dan isn't here so you can focus," Lucas spoke to him before going off to find a seat.
"Hey guys," Matt spoke walking over to his family.
"Matt," Haley spoke all excited putting her arms around him for a hug.
"Hey baby sis, I missed you," he commented while hugging her.
"Yeah I missed you too," she spoke back softly pulling away from the hug.
"Well son your looking great," his mother spoke also giving him a hug.
"So son have you played yet?" his father asked him.
"Yeah actually my games are just over, so Nathan is playing now," he commented to his family.
"Oh well let's find a seat and watch this guy that has your sister all happy," Lydia commented while looking for a place to sit.
"Actually he doesn't want Haley watching so he can stay focused for the scouts," Matt commented to his family.
"That's a smart guy," jimmy commented seeing the sad expression on Haley's face,
"Mom and Dad why don't you find I seat and watch the game. Haley and I will go for a little walk and catch up with each other," he suggested to them.
"That sounds like a good idea," his mother commented pulling jimmy away to find a sit.
Outside it was a beautiful day and they both just walked around the campus. Knowing that Matt couldn't go too far in case scouts wanted to speak to him. "So hales, how you been doing?" he commented to his sister.
"Honestly since writing Nathan and getting back into my music I'm starting to feel like my old self again. It feels good and I like talking to Nathan. He really has helped me through a lot and I find it easier to talk to him since he does know me," he commented explaining how she was feeling to her brother.
"I'm glad your in a better place now Haley. I'm still your big brother, so I wont you to be careful sand I will still have my eye on Nathan," he commented to her.
"I understand that Matt. I do. This times will different we are getting to know each other first as friends. We haven't even talked about developing it any more than friendship, so there is no need to worry," she commented reassuring her brother.
"Do you want it to develop into something more?" Matt questioned to her.
"I don't know I need to actually meet the guy first Matt. I promise if any feelings develop between us, you will be one of the first people to know," she replied giving him a reassuring smile.
Lucas came running out, "sorry to interrupt, Matt one of the scouts is looking to talk to you inside," he commented to the pair.
"Thanks Lucas, Haley will you be okay to find your way back inside," he commented to her.
"Yes go on I will be fine," she replied ushering him to go in and find the scouts looking for him.
"Hey I'm Lucas," he spoke to her.
"Hey I'm Haley," she spoke back softly.
"So your Matt's sister and the girl Nathan is meeting today," he commented to her.
"Since you know so much about me, I'm guessing you must be Nathan's cousin," she commented jokingly.
"yes that would be correct and I am also boyfriend to your best friend. According to the conversation bi had with your brother earlier, Brooke hasn't told you that yet," he commented seeing the shocked look on her face.
"No she hasn't looked me and please don't let on you told me either. I think it's time I had my fun with her," she commented to Lucas with laughter in her voice.
"Okay I won't say a word, so you ready to head in an d meet Nathan," he commented to her.
"I think so," she replied as she took a deep breath before they headed back into the sports centre to find everyone.
