Chapter 19: What Did You Do? Part 2

Lucas sat next to Brooke holding her hand praying for a miracle. He had wanted her to be okay and if it was up to him he would have left her at home and come to comfort Deb alone.

Lucas began to cry. The tears dripped down his face slowly as he whispered prayers to save her.

"Hey boyfriend…" Brooke whispered as Lucas looked into her eyes. His over flowed with tears as he pulled himself close to her.

Jake and Peyton walked into Nathan's room. His parents had gone in just before them since they had gone to see if Brooke was okay now it was just them and Haley left. Deb hadn't stopped crying for so long and Peyton hoped that being with Dan she would be okay plus her best girl friend Karen was coming back into town to comfort her and she was bringing her husband Keith.

"Hey Nate, you know what buddy I really don't have much to say. Please just wake up Nathan. You know what my mom is leaving Tree Hill and she wants all of her kids to be with someone if you don't wake up who's going to be with Haley?" Jake said.

Jake was pail and seemed scared of being in the hospital room. His body language was awkward and plain. He took Jenny into his arms and hugged her close taking her out of the room.

"Peyt I'll wait for you in the car okay?" Jake asked. When Peyton just nodded along he wondered if he should stay but he knew she wanted to talk to him alone.

Peyton sat at the side of the bed looking at him. She had once been in love with him. She would always be if she was honest with herself it was just a new kind of love. She loved Nathan but she was in love with Jake. She and Nathan had had a mutual break up and he had asked her if they could still be friends. When she had agreed they became closer then they had been when they were in the relationship and now he sat in front of her like a dead corpse and she couldn't help but cry.

Peyton covered her mouth to muffle the cry's holding Nathan's hand all she wanted was for him to wake up. He had always been strong he could pull out of this he just had to be strong. Peyton heard footsteps and assuming it was probably Haley she lifted Nathan's palm and kissed it.

"I love you Nathan Scott. You're like the baby brother I had always wanted. I will always love you Nathan but it's just not the same anymore and I think I like you better when were just friends." Peyton said as she smiled to herself taking in her own words she had always wanted to tell him that so he would feel like she still was stuck on him but she hadn't known why telling him while he was conscience had been so difficult. She had heard that when people were in states of unconscious such as his they could still hear they just couldn't respond.

Haley walked into the room and rubbed Peyton's shoulder.

"Are you okay?" Haley asked in genuine concern she had seen Jake and Jenny walk out without Peyton she had to make sure she was fine.

"I'm fine…You take care of my little brother okay?" Peyton said exiting the room after giving Haley a hug.

Haley Sighed deeply what would she do now. She had over heard all of Peyton's secrets and realized that Peyton had believed that he could hear her. What should she do. She wanted so bad to explain her decision to him but she had wanted to do that while she was sure he could hear her and this way well she just couldn't be certain. She began to cry and walked out of the room. Thump. Haley had bumped into Lucas and then fallen to the ground.

"Lucas what are you doing over here?" She asked wiping the tear off her face.

"What's wrong Hales? Oh I just came to check on Nathan while a nurse runs some test on Brooke. She woke up a little while ago, but they say they got to keep her over night so I guess I wanted to see if there was progress with Nathan." Lucas said rubbing his sisters face.

"Luke I did this to him. He's here because of me." Haley said looking down at the floor feeling guilty.

"No you didn't Hales Nate hit his mom's house and he ended up here. Why would you say that?" Lucas asked holding his baby sister close.

"Luke let me tell you what happened." Haley said realizing her answer had brought him to this place.

Flashback: To Naley Proposal

Nathan stopped abruptly and looked at Haley. She gave him a confused look as to why he had stopped.

Nathan starred deep into Haley chocolate brown eyes. He wanted to ask her right then right there. He wanted to know what her answer would be, he just wanted her to say yes. He took a deep breath and replayed the seen in his head maybe twenty times he would ask, she would scream, and then they would kiss and it would be perfect. Although now in the situation it seemed a whole lot harder then in the daydream.

Haley starred at Nathan confused more than anything in the world; he just wouldn't stop starring. He was starting to scare her 'What if this was his way of ending things?' She wondered. Haley felt her heart beat begin to accelerate now not only was she scared but she was nervous.

"Marry Me. Now today at this moment in time." Nathan said hoping all his daydreams would just be true.

Haley looked at Nathan and laughed on the inside then looked at his serious eyes as one single solitary tear strolled down her face.

Haley starred at Nathan dumbfounded. 'YES!!!' Her head screamed for her to answer him. She wanted to jump in his arms and yell yes and kiss him deeply. She had always wished to lose it to Nathan Scott and now she'd even get the opportunity to be married to him.

"Nathan…I…I…" Haley barely stuttered out.

Nathan had felt his heart begin to pound what had he done? He wondered. Here they were in a great place feeling completely in love and he couldn't contain himself from asking. He wanted her to say yea, he was even ready to get down on his knees and beg her to say yes. Now she was just starring at him stuttering and stammering scarred to answer she had said she loved him what else could she possibly have to think about.

"Haley I love you and I'm always going to love you and I promise you that you can say yes and I'll take care of you and promise to love you from now until ever I would never stop loving you Haley James." Nathan said hoping it would be what she needed to jump in his arms and say yes.

"Nathan I think…That you are…Well I just…I mean what do…I just I think I need time to think." She stuttered out as her eyes filled with tears and they burst right over onto her face. She crawled out from under him and sat at the foot of the bed.

Nathan starred at her with his heart shattered it had felt as if someone had ripped it right out of his chest and threw it at a fan. He could feel tears burning at his eyes he wanted to scream to yell to completely break down but not at her at himself he pushed her she had felt vulnerable already and now she had just wanted to feel safe and he as always was good at ruining those moment. He wiped his face quickly and sat next to her pulling her into a tight hug.

Haley began to sob into Nathan's bare chest.

"I'M SO SORRY NATHAN. I'M REALLY REALLY SO INCREDIBLY SORRY. THIS ISN'T EVEN YOUR FAULT I JUST…WELL YOU KNOW WHAT HAPPENED. I JUST NEED TO THINK." Haley said through tears and muffled cries. Her heart was breaking ever so slowly she wanted to marry him so bad but trust was so hard for her and with no trust how were they going to have a successful marriage but he had tried so hard done everything she asked even if she didn't have a trust issue she had never believed she deserved Nathan and now here he was giving himself to her why couldn't she just say yes.

"Haley I love you and I mean if you don't feel the same way that's okay but I'm not going to stop loving you. I just I don't know how and I guess that sucks for me." Nathan said rubbing her back softly every so often kissing the temples in her head. Haley cried louder into his chest.

"Nathan it's not like that I'm just not sure I'm ready to be a wife. Your wife I mean Nathan I'm not even sure I deserve you. Please understand that I do love you but I'm just…I'm just not ready." She said as she jumped out of his arms and ran into the bathroom slamming the door behind her.

Nathan sat there still in shock. Had she just said no? he wasn't ready for her to say no. He felt tears burn like fire in his eyes how could he be so stupid of course she would have said no she was only eighteen. He felt his heart re-shatter and he felt weak. He had no idea where he got the strength to get off of the bed and walk to the bathroom door. He knocked three times and felt the tears began to drip out of his eyes. God even crying hurt him.

"Hales…It's…Okay…I just…Well come on…Haley open…The door please." Nathan barely stuttered out. How was he suppose to live when she hadn't wanted him he then realized at that moment that she had to be his soul mate god that sucked his own soul mate didn't even want him.

Haley fought through tears not speaking at all she laid he head on the door hearing Nathan barely speak and continue to knock god she was some kind of bitch she hurt him pretty bad and yet he still wanted to help her she knew she didn't deserve him. She cried harder and crawled into a ball next to the door as her eye lids became very heavy

The next morning Nathan woke up feeling extremely uncomfortable realizing he had fallen asleep asking Haley to come out of the bathroom. What would he do now he had bought a ring, had muttered up the courage to ask her, and she had still found courage to say no to him. He knocked softly

"Haley are you still in there." Nathan asked.

Haley's eyes sprang open quickly she had been surprised she hadn't realized that she had fallen asleep.

"Yea." She barely said over a whisper. She wanted the world to swallow her whole she didn't know how she could be such a bitch.

Nathan listened transitively and when he heard her voice his heart broke a little more.

"Hales do you want to go get something to eat or got out…Or do you want me to take you to Lucas's or what?" Nathan said slightly hoping she would at least come out and talk to him.

The door opened slowly and Nathan took a step back to look at Haley.

"Can you take me to Peyton's apartment?" Haley asked knowing Lucas probably wasn't even home.

"Yea." he said as he got off the carpet and took her outside. He gave a helmet and they got on his bike the ride was pretty long but very quiet so quiet that Haley began to fall asleep and her grip had become weak. Nathan felt her falling so he stopped and once again put her in his lap as he drove to Peyton's. When they arrived Nathan pulled over and woke her up slowly.

"Alright I'll see you later Haley." Nathan said looking at the floor.

"Nathan do you still love me?" Haley accidentally blurted out then immediately threw her hands over her mouth and was about to leave when he reached out for her.

"Of course I still love you Haley. I just don't think you were ever sure if you loved me." Nathan said and before she could respond he kissed her then got on the bike and drove to the jewelry store.

End Of Flashback

"See Luke then I realized on his way home he probably went to see his mom and now he's here because of me." Haley said finding breathing difficult since she couldn't stop crying.

Lucas pulled his sister in close holding her tight trying to muffle her cries.

"Shh Hales it's okay. Nathan couldn't blame for not being ready to get married Haley your only eighteen years old, I'm sure he could understand plus after everything that happened to you with dad he couldn't expect you to be trusting and ready for that kind of relationship." Lucas said rubbing his sisters back softly.

Lucas's heart broke slowly for her. He had given some much to keep her safe and even with all his efforts he could do nothing to protect her fragile little heart that was full of fear and nerves. He knew she would have said yes to Nate if she was sure but knowing her she had convinced herself that she just wasn't to his standards and no matter how hard he tried to convinced her of otherwise it didn't work. He felt bad for Nathan he knew he loved his sister more than anyone in the world could ever and there she was telling him that Mr. No commitment himself was willing to marry her and she said 'no'. In a way he was angry at her and in a way he was angry at him.

"Talk to him Haley Peyton is right when someone is in the state that he is in they can't respond but they can hear. Tell him what's in your heart Haley you love Nathan tell him that he deserves to know that and you owe it to him and you to let him no why you couldn't marry him. Talk to him as if he would respond Hales believe that he will. Now get in there and say something." Lucas said walking his sister to the door.

Haley looked up at Lucas when he wouldn't walk in and then realized he was trying to tell her she had to this one alone and though she was afraid she knew he was right.

She sat down next to Nathan and watched Lucas walk away.

"Hey Nate." She whispered softly.

"Guess what I love you. Nathan when we talked and you said I didn't have to love you back I ran to the bathroom because I couldn't stand the idea of crashing down and telling you that I could never love anyone the way I love you Nathan Scott. When I'm near you I'm whole but you consume me and I just don't want to be away from you but I take you away from the rest of the world and I just don't know if I'm ready to accept that. You make me different and I'm a different person with you and I'm not sure how to become that person completely. I don't want to be different with you. I'm use to being confident and smart and reliable, and I get nervous and scared and I feel like a mess with you and I don't know if that's normal, but it's what happens." Haley said taking a breath and rubbing away the tears that had begun cascading down her face.

She had missed a tear when she rubbed her face and it ran down her face slowly. The tear left her cheek and fell onto his slowly making a small splash.

Nathan felt his heart skip faster he would know that feeling anywhere it was wet and soft the feel of tears on his face but they weren't his. He began to fade in and out of consciousness he could feel a soft voice then her words began to fall into his ears he heard Peyton's voice then it was quiet really quiet for a long time then it was like the voice of an angel. It was soft, loving, pure, and it had a sincere innocent tone someone who's heart was breaking. His eye' began to flutter open and then she was there his angel she had her face buried in her hands and she seemed so destroyed he just looked at her through his fluttering eyes. She was sad but oh so beautiful pure and sacred she said it herself that she was scared.

Haley hadn't realized Nathan was beginning to wake up so she muffled the last thing she had to say managing to get as strong as voice as possible with the fallen tears and heart breaking feelings.

"I love you Nathan Scott and if you were awake I'd tell you that scared, nervous, and any other emotions I realized something if you're not there with me life no longer has meaning. Nathan if you can hear me I wanted to tell you that I realized a lot of things but one that got drilled into my head is that I do Nathan. I really want to marry you." Haley said then she buried her head into her lap raising her knees on the chair crying softly.

Haley felt something touch her softly and slowly it was running up her arm.

"I love you too Haley James." Nathan whispered softly.

"Nathan you're awake." Haley said she walked over to his face and took it between her palms.

She kissed him softly but when she was about to pull away he put his hands on her cheeks holding her to him. Nathan's tongue ran eagerly over her practically prying her lips open the moment he did their tongues slammed into each other. Haley let out a muffled moan into Nathan's mouth. She could barely breath but it was worth it everything was worth it when it had to do with Nathan. Nathan's hand rubbed down her neck he lightly tugged on her arm using all his strength to pull her on top of him.

"Nathan!" Haley said giggling and breath harshly while seated in his lap. "What I've missed you" He said sweetly sitting up a little while she leaned down he let his tongue poke out of his lips and lick hers.

"I'm sorry I said I needed to think about it Nathan and end up having you questioning my love for you." Haley said noticing a smile on his face. Her heart flew at his look it was so caring and innocent. Nathan reached up and pulled her down onto him and began to kiss her.

"Hey Hales I just figured something out…" Lucas said looking up from a paper that had scribbled doodles on it and random chicken scratch that he considered writing.

"What's going on here?" Lucas questioned giving them a rather disgusted yet still worried look.

"Luke what are you doing in here?" Haley asked getting off of Nathan's lap and hopping onto the floor.

"I could ask the same question." He said rather angrily.

"We were just talking Lucas." Nathan said in a small whisper as he reached his hand down to the side of the bed and connect it with Haley rubbing one finger in her palm. He sensitively rubbed his finger back and forth seeing her look at the ground blushing redder than a cherry.

"Two questions. Nathan when did you wake up? An why was my sister on top of you if you guys were just talking?" Lucas asked in an almost caring voice.

"I woke up a couple minutes ago and you know Hales Luke she's so quiet I needed her in my lap coming down my face to whisper in my ear so I could hear her." Nathan said with a guilty smirk that gave him away completely, as he spoke he softly rubbed his finger in her palm 'God that feels good.' Haley thought uncomfortably shifting in her seat trying to bring her body heat back to normal.

"You know what never mind with your sense of persuasions and my innocent minded little sister you can come up with more than a million illusions of what she can be doing in your lap in a hospital bed." Lucas said as he walked toward the bed.

"Are you okay?" Lucas asked clasping hands with Nathan.

"Yea I'm fine." Nathan said as they broke fists.

"Is Brooke okay? I could have sworn she was in here but then she was hot and she felt weak then she was gone." Nathan said still weak.

"Yea she was just feeling a little light headed so they put her in a separate bedroom to relax and cool down. They say they just need to run a few test but her and the baby are going to be fine." Lucas said as Nathan nodded along.

"WAIT WHAT!!?? HER AND HER BABY!!!" Haley practically screamed in Nathan's ear.

"Damn Haley I actually planned on using my ears for something other than hearing you scream." Nathan said receiving glares from both of them.
