Chapter 20
After leaving Haley's house, Nathan decided to walk around to clear his head. Currently walking around the docks, he couldn't believe what he'd just heard. Had she really just said that she could have loved him? And why was Rachel here?? He'd never had any sort of regard for her so why had she followed him all the way to Tree Hill? How had they managed to get to this stage when all they'd ever been about was sex?? And then there was Haley, damn she was perfect in every way possible yet because of him she was so hurt, because of him tears had fallen out of her gorgeous eyes and onto her beautiful face, unintentionally he had hurt her and now all he wanted to do was hold her in his arms. He just wanted to be able to feel her with him, just wanted to be with her.
No longer able to face the thoughts running through his head he decided to make his way back to the house and get as drunk as possible. It was the day to do the honors and take a leaf out of his dear old mother's book; drown your sorrows in booze!!
Jake was on his way home when he was stopped by an unfamiliar voice calling out to him, turning around he saw one of Lucas' friends making his way over to him. Racking his brain he tried to remember the guys name, luckily by the time he was in front of him he had it.
"Hi, Chase isn't it?"
"Yeah that's right. So how are you doing? Liking Tree Hill?"
"I'm good! And yeah everyone loves it here, I don't actually think any of us want to go back once the summer is over!" he replied good heartedly causing Chase to laugh slightly.
For a few seconds the two were silent before Chase began once again.
"That's good. Sooo... err... I was well... wondering, if you have time I kinda needed to talk to you about something."
"Yeah sure go for it," Chase encouraged.
"Errm ok yeah basically I was wondering if you knew about Nathan and Haley?"
"HUH? What about Nathan and Haley?" Chase asked looking slightly confused. "Are they ok??"
"Err... yeah, yeah its nothing like that, you see... well err... did you know that they knew each other from before we came here?"
"HUH? WHAT? HOW?"
"They met on the Internet," Chase sighed.
"WOAH!! You're KIDDING ME RIGHT??" Jake could not believe what he was hearing.
"No, afraid not, though I wish I was... apparently they became really close, she even began to have certain feelings for him... he asked her out last night but today his girlfriend from New York showed up in Tree Hill, at the beach house."
Jake stayed quiet for a while until the last bit of what Chase had said properly registered, and then he burst out laughing.
"NATHAN'S GIRLFRIEND HAHAHA PULEASEEEEEEEE NATHAN Doesn't HAVE A GIRLFRIEND!"
However his laughter cut short when a certain fiery red head appeared out of nowhere, she came right close to him and rubbed her forefinger down the side of the cheek before saying,
"Miss me much Jagelski?"
Here it was only two in the afternoon and Nathan was already smashed. He'd lost all sense of coordination and was finding it difficult to even stand upright. Singing Haley's name at the top of his voice he stumbled around until he heard a knock at the door. Barely making it to the door, needing the assistant of the walls and furniture, he wondered who it could be. Opening it he looked up at the tall dark haired figure in front of him in utter shock.
"Hello son," smirked the devil.
