Quote of the day: LIKE ONE OF MY FAVORITE NALEY SENCES
Deb: The two of you are driving us crazy.
Haley: The two of us?
Nathan: I might have called a couple of times.
Deb(to Nathan) 6 times.
Haley: You crazy obsessive parent.
Deb(to Haley) you called 8.
"Heartbeats"
One night to be confused
One night to speed up truth
We had a promise made
Four hands and then away
Both under influence
We had divine scent
To know what to say
Mind is a razor blade
To call for hands of above
To lean on
Wouldn't be good enough
For me, no
One night of magic rush
The start a simple touch
One night to push and scream
And then relief
Ten days of perfect tunes
The colors red and blue
We had a promise made
We were in love
To call for hands of above
To lean on
Wouldn't be good enough
For me, no
To call for hands of above
To lean on
Wouldn't be good enough
And you, you knew the hands of the devil
And you, kept us awake with wolf teeth
Sharing different heartbeats
In one night
To call for hands of above
To lean on
Wouldn't be good enough
For me, no
To call for hands of above
To lean on
Wouldn't be good enough
For me, no

The next day went by pretty slowly. That morning after breakfast, Nathan had showed up and asked all the guys if they wanted to go do something so they all left. Peyton, Brooke, and Haley decided to stay in and watch a movie. About half way throw the movie Haley had gotten a call from her mom. They had been talking on the phone a lot, ever since she found out Haley was alive. Lydia made her daughter promise that she and James would go visit them as soon as Lucas and Peyton's wedding was over with. After Haley finished on the phone she returned to the movie. When it finished the girls decided to all go for a swim, in the backyard.
"So let's go swimming," Peyton said looking up from the floor to see Haley and Brooke's face.
"Sure P. Sawyer, my perfect body could sure use a little more sun," Brooke said smirking. She was very confident about herself and her looks. Both of the other girls started laughing at her.
"Okay, sounds like fun, I'm in, lets go," Haley said as she got up and walked towards her room.
"Hey Hales, do you have a swim suit that I could wear," Peyton asked as she followed her up the stairs. Haley just stopped walking and turned around smiling at Peyton.
"WHAT!" Peyton said wondering why she was smiling.
"I don't know, remember that I don't remember," Haley said laughing. Of course she didn't think that it was funny, she just thought that it was funny that Peyton would ask her something like that, knowing that she didn't remember.
"Oh, sorry Hales, it just came out," Peyton said holding a hand over her mouth.
"Good one, Goldilocks," Brooke said laughing as she walked pasted her. "You can wear one of mine." They all went change and then headed to the back yard. Ten minutes later they were all laid out on their stomachs, trying to get a tan.
"I love swimming," Brooke said laughing.
"Yeah, me too," Haley said. She had been thinking about Nathan all night last night, and all day. She was a little upset that he had left last night without telling her goodbye. No, he just sent James up to her room and left, with not so much as a goodbye. How can you be thinking about someone you just met she thought. It's really not even fair because he knows me and what I like, and I don't know him. Good going Haley, finally you get a great guy and then you don't even remember him. "What do you think that the guys are doing?" Haley asked turning over.
"I uh, called Luke before, we came out here, to tell him that we were going swimming," as she said swimming she threw up air quotes which made all three girls laugh. "I asked him what they were doing and guess what he told me?"
"What?" Brooke asked intrigued, as she turned over and looked at Peyton. "Spit it out P. Sawyer."
"Anyways," Peyton said as she rolled her eyes, and smiled. "He said that he could not tell me," Peyton said frowning.
"What a load of crap," Brooke whined. She hated secrets, and she really wanted to know what Chase was doing.
"But…"
"There's a but, hell yeah," Brooke said getting excited.
"He did mention that Nathan made him promise not to say what they were doing, and that it was kind of a secret," Peyton said as she and Brooke turned their attention to Haley.
"What?" Haley said when she noticed that they were both staring at her. "He um….might of mentioned something about a secret last night in the bathroom."
"Whoa, tutor girl, back up," Brooke said smiling. "What were you two doing in the bathroom together?" Haley started to blush a little.
"Yeah, Hales, what happened?" Peyton said smiling also.
"Nothing really, I was just getting ready for dinner, and he um….kind a told me I looked beautiful and uh….that was it," Haley hoping that they would buy it.
"Wait a minute, I remember someone being late to dinner, and you were acting a little strange," Peyton said laughing, knowing that there was more to the story than Haley was telling.
"Tutor girl, pleasssssse," Brooke whined.
"We kind of had I don't know like a moment," Haley said softly.
"Feel free to continue, are we are going to talk about sex, again." Brooke said laughing.
"God alright, you two don't quit, do you?" Haley said getting a little annoyed. "It was nothing really he just sort of came up right behind me and started kissing my neck, happy now," Haley said. "Also when I asked him what he did yesterday, he said it was a secret."
"Um, I so know what he is doing," Peyton said laughing.
"Feel me in Goldilocks, I'm dying here," Brooke whined.
"Yeah, what the hell are you talking about?" Haley said getting really annoyed.
"He's so trying to make you fall in love with him again," Peyton said smiling at Haley.
"He is not," Haley said embarrassed. Truth was it was freaking working, he was driving her crazy.
"Judging by your behavior, last night and today, I would say that it is working," Brooke said laughing.
"Tigger please stop," Haley begged. They both stopped laughing a just stared at her.
"What?" Haley asked with a softer tone than before. She really didn't like when people just stared at her. It really bugged her. Man, what the hell are they staring at she thought.
"You um….just called me Tigger," Brooke said stunned. Haley and James were the only ones that called her Tigger, and if Haley couldn't remember her then why was she using her nickname for her.
"Do you remember something Hales," Peyton said looking at her seriously. "Tigger is your nickname for Brooke."
"It just came out," Haley said trying to figure out why she had said it, but she couldn't remember.
Peyton could see that Brooke was a little upset, so she went back to the Nathan talk. "It's okay Hales, he's your husband, he knows everything about you, like what you like, basically he knows how to drive you crazy, if ya know what I mean," Peyton said as she wiggles her eyebrows and laughing trying to break the tension. Lucky for her Brooke liked talking, and being nosy.
"Come on tutor girl, tell me that you don't want him, he's sexy," Brooke laughed with Peyton.
"Brooke!" Haley yelled getting jealous. She didn't know why but she kind of wanted to kick Brooke's ass for saying that, not that it wasn't true, he was totally sexy. "I don't want him." Peyton saw Haley's face and she could tell that she was really getting annoyed.
"Look Hales, all we are trying to say is that you wanting to be with Nathan wouldn't be wrong," Peyton said.
"Yeah Hales, sorry I didn't mean to hurt your feelings," Brooke said apologetically. She loved Haley and she just wanted her to be happy, but as her best friend she knew that only Nathan could make Haley happy.
"No, I'm sorry, it's just, I wish that I could remember, that's all," Haley said sincerely. She felt bad when she saw their faces. They were her friends, even if she didn't remember them, and they deserved to be treated better than that. She then knew what would make them a little happy.
"And, also, I sort of think that maybe…..I want him," Haley said softly with a smile on her face.
"I knew it!" Brooke yelled laughing hysterically.
"I so knew that you were lying before, you never could resist that Nathan Scott, charm," Peyton said causing all of them to laugh.
"Please don't say anything," Haley said with a worried expression.
"Hey tutor girl, you're our best friend, we got your back," Brooke said smiling at Haley as if telling her that they would not say anything.
They all turned when they saw Lucas and Chase walking up with there swim trunks on. Haley didn't see Nathan, are James.
"Where's James?" Haley said looking at Lucas.
"We had stopped by the café and James asked Nathan if he could stay and play with Katlin, my mom said that she would watch them," Lucas said looking at Haley. "You're not mad are you, because we can go pick him up?"
"No not at all, I just miss him that's all," Haley said. Lucas, Peyton, Chase, and Brooke had all gotten in the pool. Haley stood up in her navy blue bikini and turned so that she could face the pool. She heard a voice behind her and it brought a smile to her face.
"Do you know how sexy you look right now, Hales?" Nathan said as he walked right behind her. She blushed when he said this, man he's totally driving me crazy she thought, and don't even get me started on the way he says my name. Before she had a chance to respond he grabbed her, picking her up and he jumped, throwing both their bodies into the pool.
"What the hell?" She said as she reached the surface of the water. Everyone else was laughing at them, even thought they were all on the other side of the pool.
"Sorry," Nathan said holding up his hands. "It just looked like you were about to go back inside, and I didn't want you too," Nathan said smiling at her.
"You could have just asked me to stay," Haley said smiling as she splashed water at him.
"Now that wouldn't, have been any fun, now would it," he said as he got closer too her. She thought that he was going to kiss her, but instead he started splashing water on her.
"Nathan, stop," she screamed in laughter.
"No way, not until you admit that you are having fun," Nathan said laughing still splashing water in her face, following her as she tried to back away.
"Okay, I'm having fun," Haley yelled defeated. He stopped splashing the water at her, and just stood in front of her smiling and laughing at her. They both looked to see what the others were doing only to see them making out. Nathan smiled as he looked towards them, but Haley could tell that something was bothering him.
"What's wrong?" Haley said as she stared at him worried. He looked at her for a second, happy that she could tell that something was wrong with him.
"Just um…..jealous, I guess," Nathan said nodding towards the couples making out, and then began swimming away from her. She knew what he meant, and she felt really bad.
"Let's play some volley ball, girls against the boys," Nathan said trying to get everyone's attention. "You ladies on that side of the pool, Luke help me set the net up." Nathan and Lucas got out of the pool and started setting the net up. When Haley saw Nathan in just his shorts, with water falling down his body, she was so happy that someone said let's go swimming. She couldn't help but stare, he was sexy.
"Like what you see?" Brooke said laughing at Haley as she swam up to her. Haley just continued to watch Nathan flex his muscles as he set the net up.
"I like a lot," Haley said not even looking at Brooke. They finished setting and got back into the water, and started the game. Of course the guys were kicking there asses. It had been an hour that they had been playing and Peyton and Lucas decided to barbeque for everyone, so they got out of the pool and started cooking in the back yard. Brooke and Chase were making out again. Haley and Nathan just laughed as they saw them.
"How old are we again?" Haley said laughing at them. "So what did you do today?" She said swimming closer to him.
"I already told you that it was a secret," he said smiling at her. He knew that she would want to know what the secret was. He just smiled at her, man she is the most beautiful woman in the world he thought.
"Please, just tell me," she said with a pout. He looked at her for a moment. "Would you like to go out with me tomorrow night," he said looking into her eyes.
"That depends; will you tell me your secret?" She said smiling at him.
"I'll do better than that I will show you," he winking at her.
"Then I would love too," she said smiling at him.
Nathan turned his back towards her, looking for Lucas but he wasn't outside anymore. Brooke and Chase were still making out on the other side of the pool. Haley noticed the tattoo on Nathan's back.
"Always & Forever," Haley said reading it. Nathan turned around when he heard those words from her mouth with an, oh my god expression.
"What?" He said wanting to hear her say it again.
"The tattoo on your back, it say's always & forever," Haley said softly. She saw the hurt in his eyes when she had said this. It must really mean something to him she thought. "What does it mean?" He looked at her for a minute with a sad expression on his face, but that faded, then he just smiled at her for like another minute.
"That's how long I'm gonna love you," he said looking into her brown eyes. She blushed and her heart started racing as he said this. "It was in my wedding vows," he said softly. He didn't even give her a chance to say anything; he turned, swam away, got out of the pool and walked to the house.
