Chapter 26
Brooke decided to call the gang and told them to meet her at the café. She got up and got dressed and made her way to the café. She was the first one there; she grabbed a seat and waited for the others.
"Hey Brooke what are you doing here so early?" Karen asked.
"I'm waiting for the others to get here so we can discuss going to Florida." Brooke said.
"Oh ok. Why are you all going to Florida?" Karen asked.
"To get Haley back and to get Naley together again." Brooke said.
"Who's Naley?" Karen asked confused.
"Nathan and Haley." Brooke said in a duh tone.
"Oh, well I have to know when you guys are going and who you are staying with before I say if Lucas can go or not." Karen said.
"Ok." Brooke said.
"Do you want anything now or are you going to wait for the others?" Karen asked.
"I'll wait for the others, but can I get some coffee?" she asked.
"Sure, no problem." Karen says as she gets a fresh pot of coffee and pours some in a mug for Brooke.
The others finally came strolling in one by one and sat down, as Karen brought them some coffee.
"Ok, Brooke I love you but why did we have to get up so early to come here, and how are you up so early?" Lucas asked.
"Well, I think it's about time we intervene first things first." Brooke said as she slapped Nathan upside the back of the head.
"Ow, what the hell was that for?" Nathan asked as he rubbed the back of his head.
"That was for being an idiot, but because I love you and tutor-girl I along with P. Sawyer, Taylor and the other girls are going to help you get Haley back." Brooke said.
"You are, why?" Nathan asked.
"Because you make her happy." Peyton said.
Nathan smiled and thought about Haley.
"So what's the plan?" Lucas asked, as Nathan and Peyton nodded in agreement.
"Well I say we pay Haley a visit and somehow get her and Nathan alone so that he can explain things to her." Brooke said.
"I'm in." Nathan said.
"Me too." Peyton said.
"I would have to ask my mom, but I'm in too." Lucas said.
"When do we leave?" Nathan asked.
"How does tomorrow sound?" Brooke asked.
"Brooke as exciting as that sounds, how are we going to get money for the plane tickets in that short space of time?" Nathan asks.
"We won't need tickets. I'll just call up daddy and ask him to use the jet." Brooke said.
"I guess I should ask my mom then." Lucas said as he got up.
"Ok, so I'll talk to my dad and get his permission and then I'll call you guys with details." Brooke said as Lucas came back.
"My mom said I can go." Lucas said.
They decided to get some breakfast and then head out. When Brooke got home she called her dad and she explained everything and he told her she could use it. She then called Taylor.
"Hello."
"Hey Tay, its Brooke." she said.
"Hey Brooke, what's up?" Taylor asked.
"Nothing, I just wanted to let you know that we will be coming to Florida tomorrow, but you can't tell Haley." Brooke said.
"Ok, what time?" Taylor asked.
"Not sure yet, but if I can I'll call you to let you know." Brooke said.
"Ok, you guys need directions or do you know where to find our house?" Taylor asked.
"Nathan should remember, if not I'll call." Brooke said.
"Ok then I guess I'll see you guys tomorrow." Taylor said as she hung up.
"Who are you going to be seeing tomorrow?" Haley asked as she and Lydia walked into the kitchen with groceries.
Taylor nervously laughs "Just some friends, need some help with those groceries?" she asked.
"Sure." Lydia said as she and Haley shared a look.
After they put away the groceries away Haley and Taylor were heading to their rooms when Taylor was stopped by Lydia.
"Hold it Taylor." Lydia said as Haley laughed and headed to her room.
"Yes mom." Taylor said as she turned around.
"What's up with you?" Lydia asked.
"What do you mean?" Taylor asked innocently.
"You normally don't offer to help put up groceries, so what's going on?" Lydia asked.
Taylor sighs and whispers "Brooke and the others are coming tomorrow." She said.
"So that's who you were talking to." Lydia said as Taylor nodded.
"But it's a surprise." Taylor said.
"Ok, my lips are sealed." Lydia said.
Taylor left and headed upstairs, she heard Haley singing and playing her guitar, she walked into Haley's room and sat down.
"Something new?" Taylor asked after Haley had stopped playing and singing.
Haley sighs "Yeah."
"What's the inspiration?" Taylor asked.
"My relationship with Nathan, well the relationship we did have. Can I ask you a question?" Haley asked.
"Yeah." Taylor said.
"Do you think that he did cheat on me? I mean I know he used to play girls before he met me, but he did seem like he had changed." Haley said.
"First of all how do you feel? Do you think that he cheated?" Taylor asked, hoping that Haley said no.
Tears began to fall down her face "No, I don't think that he did." She said.
"To be honest I don't think that he did either but you need to talk to him." Taylor said.
"I know I'm just scared and then when I see him I feel that hurt again and I close my heart and put up my walls against him." Haley said.
Taylor just hugged her sister and let her cry all of her pain out. She hoped that everything worked out for her sister and Nathan.
It was the next day and Haley decided to get up early, shower and dress, then get some breakfast and go into the studio located in their house. she wanted to record some of the new stuff she wrote.
"Morning mom." Taylor said as she walked into the kitchen.
"Morning baby." Lydia said.
"Where's Hales and dad?" Taylor asked.
"Downstairs in the studio, and your dad should be on his way to work or still in the studio." Lydia said.
"Oh, ok. What are your plans for today?" Taylor asked as she got some coffee.
"Nothing really, why?" Lydia asked.
"Want to help us get Nathan and Haley back together?" Taylor asked.
"Sure, I would love too." Lydia said.
The doorbell rang and Lydia got up to answer it since Taylor was eating breakfast.
"Well, well what do we have here? Come on in." Lydia said as she opened the door.
Brooke, Lucas, Peyton, and Nathan all walked into the house and Lydia closed the door behind them.
Lydia hugged each one of them and asked who Peyton was.
"Who's this?" Lydia asked.
"This is Peyton, she's our good friend." Brooke said.
Lydia nodded "Well come this way." She said as she headed into the kitchen.
"Hey guys." Taylor said as they walked into the kitchen.
"Hey." They all said in unison.
"Well we all know you guys didn't come to see Taylor and me, so follow us." Lydia said as she and Taylor grabbed their coffee cups and took them downstairs.
"Hey Jimmy and Drew. Jim look who's here." Lydia said.
"Hey what's up everybody and blonde girl I don't know." Jimmy said.
"Hey." They all said.
"This is Peyton she's a good friend of ours." Brooke said.
They all sat down as Lydia sat next to Jimmy.
"How's she doing?" Lydia asked referring to Haley.
"We are just about to start a new song she just wrote." Jimmy said.
Lydia nodded and then turned to their guests "Ok, so Haley's going to kill me, but it's time more people heard her." She said.
"Ok bub you ready?" Jimmy asked into the booth, as Haley nodded.
Haley walked up to the mike and breathed deeply she hadn't noticed her friends were in the studio. Jimmy started playing the beat for the song as Haley started to sing.

"Haley you have company." Jimmy said as Haley finished the song.
Haley looked behind her dad and saw Brooke and the others, when her eyes landed on Nathan she couldn't help but stare at him, she had missed him so much, she quickly looked away and then realized that they heard her sing, she could see her mom smiling and she glared at her.
"I'm ready again." Haley said.
Taylor went to answer the door and came back with Brittany, Beth, Amy and unfortunately Damien. Taylor walked up to her dad and whispered in his ear, he turned and he felt the anger boil up in him when he saw the boy who broke his daughters heart. He pressed the button so Taylor could talk to Haley.
"Hey Hales you have more visitors, why don't you do the song." Taylor said.
Haley looked and saw the girls and Damien; she knew her dad still wanted to hurt him for hurting her. She smiled at her sister and nodded to her dad. The music started up and Haley began.

"Mr. James looks like he wants to rip Damien in half." Lucas said.
"At least it's not Nate he wants to rip apart." Brooke said.
"Gee thanks Brooke." Nathan said sarcastically.
"Your welcome." Brooke said with a smile.
After Haley finished that song Damien left and she felt free, she chose her next song and the music was put on.
When the rain When
the evening shadows I know you I'd go hungry The
storms are raging I could make you happy
Is
blowing in your face
And the whole world
Is on your case
I
could offer you
A warm embrace
To make you feel my love
And the stars appear
And there is no one
there
To dry your tears
I could hold you
For a million
years
To make you feel my love
Haven't
made
Your mind up yet
But I would never
Do you wrong
I've
known it
From the moment
That we met
No doubt in my
mind
Where you belong
I'd go black and
blue
I'd go crawling
Down the avenue
No, there's
nothing
That I wouldn't do
To make you feel my love
On the rolling sea
And on the highway of
regret
Though winds of change
Are throwing wild and free
You
ain't seen nothing
Like me yet
Make
your dreams come true
Nothing that I wouldn't do
Go to the
ends
Of the Earth for you
To make you feel my love
Haley decided to stop so that she could hang out with her friends. Brooke and Peyton immediately dragged her away to talk to her as the others went upstairs to the kitchen with her parents.
"Ok, tutor-girl first of all you have an amazing voice, secondly when are you going to talk to boy toy?" Brooke asked.
"Brooke, I don't know if I am ready to face him as yet." Haley said.
"Ok, Haley listen to me, that boy loves you and he didn't cheat on you with that red-headed whore." Peyton said.
"Yeah, take it from the girl who used to date him; he was never like this with her." Brooke said.
"You changed him to be a better person." Peyton said.
"I just don't know what to do, but when I'm ready I'll talk to him. I promise." Haley said as they all hugged, and then headed to the kitchen.
Haley was in the corner talking and laughing with Lucas as Nathan looked at her from where he stood. He sighed and wondered how he would get her to at least listen to him.
"Hey Nate, how you doing buddy?" Brooke asked as she stood next to him.
"I just wish she would talk to me or at least let me explain things." Nathan said.
"Yeah, I'll be right back ok." Brooke said, as she walked over to Taylor, Lydia and Peyton.
"Hey Brooke." Taylor said.
"Hey is there a closet or something where we could lock Nathan and Haley in so that they could talk?" Brooke asked.
"Yeah, there is actually." Lydia said as they made plans.
"Hey Nate, Lydia wants you to get her two containers out of the closet under the stairs." Brooke said.
"Ok, are you sure?" Nathan asked.
"Yea." Brooke said.
Nathan walked out of the kitchen and to the closet, as Brooke walked back over the Taylor and the others.
"He just went to the closet." Brooke said.
"Hey Hales, can you do me a favor?" Lydia asked.
"Sure mom what's up?" Haley asked.
"Go into the closet in the hall under the stairs and get me some of the photo albums please." Lydia said.
"Ok." Haley said as she went to the closet.
She walked inside and wondered why the light was on already. She just shrugged it off and went into the boxes to search for the photo albums, when she heard a noise.
"Nathan, what are you doing in here?" Haley asked.
"Um your mom wanted me to get something for her." Nathan said.
"Oh, my god!" Haley exclaimed as she went to the door and tried to open the door.
"What's wrong?" Nathan asked.
Haley sighed and sat down "The doors locked. Let me guess Brooke told you my mom needed something right?" she asked.
Nathan nodded and sighed.
"Great, I would take it, that they are working together and locked us up in here together." Haley said.
"Look Haley I had nothing to do with it, but I'm glad that they did, I really need you to hear me out." Nathan said as he sat down in front of Haley.
"Nathan I…" but she was cutoff by Nathan.
"I only need you to hear me out and then I'll leave you alone and I will tell them to drop it." Nathan said.
Haley sighs "Ok, fine I'm listening." She said.
Nathan told Haley everything that happened that night.
"I didn't cheat on you; I wouldn't do that to you. I don't want to risk losing you, I love you so much and I know how much you were hurt before." Nathan said.
Haley let the tears she had been trying to hold in fall. Nathan wiped the tears away from her cheek with his thumb.
"Now that you know what really happened I hope that you can forgive me, and if you don't want to be with me I understand, but I hope we can be friends." Nathan said as he pulled out his cell phone and called Brooke.
"Hello." Brooke said.
"Brooke, can someone come and open the door?" Nathan asked as he hung up.
Brooke came and opened the door Nathan and Haley walked out.
"Brooke, whatever plans you have to try and get Haley and I back together just drop them ok." Nathan said as he walked out of the house.
He would give Haley space and he would give her time, it hurt him to not be with her but he knew that he did bring that on himself. But he also knew that he was going to do everything he could to get her back.
Haley ran upstairs to her room and closed the door. She lay on her bed and began crying uncontrollably. She couldn't believe that Nathan had given up on her on them, although she knew that he was just giving her space, she still wanted him to fight for her.
Brooke, Peyton and Lucas said their goodbye's and left, heading back to the hotel.
"Nathan what are you doing?" Brooke asked as they got back to the hotel.
"I'm leaving." Nathan said.
"What, why I thought you two talked?" Brooke asked.
"We did, but I don't know if she believes me or not, but I'm giving her space and I can't be here right now, knowing that it could be over for us." Nathan said.
They packed up their stuff and checked out. Brooke called her dad and they were picked up and flown back to Tree Hill. They were all wondering if Nathan and Haley would ever get back together again, especially Lucas who could see that his best friend and brother were happy together.
Taylor walked into her sister's room and sat down next to her.
"Are they still here?" Haley asked.
"No, they left Brooke called they went back to Tree Hill." Taylor said as Haley nodded and continued to sob.
