Chapter 38

It was a couple of days after Christmas and the kids had just arrived in NYC, none of them could wait to see the ball drop the next day. Brooke using her parents' money rented them the whole top floor except for on of the suite rooms that was already taken.

"Hi I have a reservation for Davis." Brooke said sweetly to the man at the front desk.

"Ah yes Miss. Davis we have been expecting you. All of the rooms are ready." The man said handing her the keys.

"Sir I was told that there was someone else staying on the floor as well are you able to tell me who it is." Brooke asked.

"All that I can tell you is that he is a musician and is going to be playing at the new years bash." The man said quietly.

"Thank you so much sir."

"You kids have a nice night now."

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

When they got upstairs they saw that it was actually a huge suit in which all of the rooms were connected through the main lounge area.

"Guys this means that we will actually see and be able to hang out with this musician guy." Brooke squealed.

"Hey don't you already have a boyfriend." Molly asked pointing to Lucas.

"Hey we can look just not touch." Peyton laughed.

"Amen to that sister." Haley said giving her a high five.

"Yeah ok you guys go me there." Molly said laughing.

Everyone had put there stuff in their rooms and had gone downstairs to get some food, except for Haley and Molly who weren't really hungry. It was a little while later that Molly heard the main door shut.

"Oh my gosh, you're the musician who is staying here. I saw you here last year. You're amazing." Molly gushed.

"Well thank you little lady. You don't look so bad yourself." He said licking his lips. Wow this girl in going to be one easy score.

Just then Molly turned around when she heard Haley's voice.

"What the hell do you think you're doing here?" Haley asked.

"Haley." He asked startled.

"Yeah Chris it's me, now tell me why the hell are you here."

"Well didn't you hear this is where I am staying? Oh of course you heard you're here for some Keller action."

"I wouldn't want anything from you even if you were the last jackass alive." Haley spat.

"Haley you guys know each other." Molly asked

"Oh yeah sweet thang Haley and I go way back." Chris said

"You know what your kind of an ass and the name is Molly."

"Chris you really need to leave." Haley said stepping away from him.

"OH really and who is going to make me Haley you, I don't think so you never have before." Chris said inching closer to her as well.

"Ok look buddy you are way out of line I suggest that you leave before I get my brother up here." Molly said.

"Don't worry Haley and I are just going to have a little bit of fun." Chris said grabbing her by the wrists."

"Chris come on let me go."

Molly quickly texted her brother.

"I suggest that you let her go now before I do some damage to you." Molly spat.

"Sweet thang you don't scare me at all." Chris said beginning to pull Haley towards a room.

Just then the door swung open.

"Hey leave her alone you bastard." Nathan said ripping Chris away from Haley.

"Ok let me guess you're the brother of that sweet thang over there." Chris said pointing to Molly.

"Yeah I am. But I am also Haley's boyfriend."

"Oh how sweet Haley finally decided to move on."

"I suggest that you leave before I rip you to pieces. I know all about the way that you treated Haley and you're lucky that I don't just kill you right now." Nathan spat.

"Whatever she said it's a lie. I never forced myself on her. She is just a whore who couldn't get enough of me."

Nathan immediately punched him in the face.

"Well Haley hadn't told me about that part but now I'm really going to beat your ass." Nathan said punching Chris again.

"Nathan, come on stop that's enough." Haley said trying to pull Nathan off of Chris.

Nathan got up furious. "Why are you defending him after everything that he did to you Haley?" Nathan yelled at her.

"I'm not I just don't want to get kick out of the hotel or worse see you get sent to jail." Haley reasoned.

"You know what Haley this is bullshit and I'm not going to stay around to watch you go back to him." Nathan said slamming the door behind him.

"Aww looks like your boyfriend isn't as great as you thought huh." Chris said getting up from his spot on the floor.

"Haley you should go after him." Molly said.

"And leave you here with this jackass no way."

"Haley trust me everything will be fine I'll even call Lucas ok." Molly said dialing the familiar number.

"Look no need ladies. I have some clubbing to do anyway but I will see both of you later." Chris looked over at Molly "I'm looking forward to seeing a lot of you sweet thang."

"Oh stuff it you fucking pig. I'm not some slutty ass groupie. Oh and by the way you were off key in three of your songs." Molly said glaring at him.

"Bull shit Chris Keller is never off." Chris said walking out the door.

"Now go Haley." Molly said.

"But what if he won't listen to me. Why can't you talk to him first?"

"Because Haley you guys are never going to get anywhere if you don't talk to each other. Now go before you can't find him."

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

Haley began to walk around the city wondering where Nathan could have gone when she saw him sitting alone on a bench in the park.

"You know you can't keep running away." Haley said sitting next to him.

"I'm not running I'm just trying to calm down."

"Nathan I don't understand what happened back there."

"You lied to me." Nathan said looking down.

"What are you talking about I never lied to you."

"Why didn't you ever tell me that he forced himself on you?"

"I just didn't think it was that important."

"NOT IMPORTANT, HALEY I'M YOUR BOYFRIEND OF COURSE THAT IS IMPORTANT." Nathan yelled.

"Calm down Nathan it was a long time ago it didn't mean anything."

"Right and that's why you came to his defense in there."

"Nathan I wasn't defending him."

"You know what Haley I thought that I could trust you but this is just bullshit. If you can lie to me about something like that then what else are you lieing about?"

"Nathan I'm not lieing to you." Haley said beginning to cry.

"Save the tears Haley they aren't going to get you anywhere this time."

"Nathan what am I going to do tonight." Haley asked since they were supposed to share a room.

"I don't know, you can stay with Chris for all I care." Nathan said walking away from her.

"Nathan come on you can't really mean that." Haley said grabbing his hand. "Nathan I love you please don't do this."

"I love you too but that doesn't change the fact that you lied to me. I've had enough people in my life that I couldn't trust I don't need another Haley."

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

Haley got back to the hotel and began pounding on Molly's door.

"Haley, hunny what the heck happened." Molly asked taking her friend into a hug.

"I think Nathan just broke up with me." Haley said sobbing.

"Oh hunny, come on in here I think that we need some girl talk."

"What am I going to do without him Molly I love him so much."

"Haley sweetie what is he mad about."

"Well I had told him that Chris used to hit me but I just left out the part about how he kind of forced himself on me."

"Haley oh my gosh, Chris did that too you."

"Yeah and I guess that I just didn't want Nathan to have to worry about it." Haley said crying louder.

"Haley honey how could you have kept something like that from him." Molly asked softly as not to upset her more.

"I don't know. I was scared that he would think less of me. That he would think that I was dirty."

"He could never think that about you, he loves you so much Haley."

"Then why is he leaving me." Haley asked with pleading eyes.

"This is Nathan's way of dealing with things. As soon as things get hard he pushes people away."

"All that I want is for him to just understand, I mean it was just a mistake."

"Oh my gosh Haley I have an idea." Molly said.

"What do you mean?"

"We are going to a club tonight."

"Molly I don't think that is going to solve any problems."

"Haley just trust me you know the song that we were working on."

"Yeah."

"We're going to finish it and you are going sing it tonight."

"Molly how is that going to fix things with Nathan and I."

"Haley just trust me ok."

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

Molly and Haley had finished working on the song and were getting ready to go out along with the rest of the gang. The only person who wasn't getting ready was the one that needed to be there.

"Molly he's not even going to go."

"Oh yes he will." Molly said knocking on Nathan's door.

"Go away."

Molly opened the door anyway.

"What part of that didn't you understand Molly." Nathan asked her angrily.

"Don't you dare even talk to me like that. I didn't do anything to you." Molly said using the same tone.

She knew that with Nathan you had to fight fire with fire.

"Fine, what are you all dressed up for."

"We are all going out to a club now get your ass ready."

"Is Haley going?"

"Of course she is going."

"Well then I am going to stay here."

"That's it Nathan you have no reason to be mad at that girl. I have spent all afternoon with her and from what she has told me you are being really insensitive."

"Oh so now then your siding with her. Great I can't even trust my own sister." Nathan said turning away from her.

Molly went and sat on the edge of the bed next to Nathan.

"Nathan you know that I love you and I have always told it to you straight. And the truth is that right now you are being an ass."

"Thanks cause that's what I really needed to hear."

"Well sometimes the truth isn't what you want to hear."

"I just don't know why she didn't tell me."

"Nathan I'm sure that she has her reasons but you're not going to solve anything by sitting in here and sulking."

"If I go I'm not talking to her Molly, I just need a night to think."

"That's fine you don't have to say a word to her just come."

"Alright give me a couple of minutes."

Molly began to walk out. "Oh and Nathan I know that a lot of people have disappointed you but don't put Haley in a position where that's all she can do."

"What are you talking about?"

"You'll understand later."

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

It was around 11 when they got to the club and Haley was more nervous then ever. It had been decided that Molly would accompany her on the piano and thanks to the sound board that skills had gotten her they had the rest all laid down.

Nathan had been sulking all night and hadn't so much as looked at Haley. When he heard an announcement come over the speakers.

"And now ladies and gentlemen we have Haley James accompanied by Molly Scott."

Nathan looked up and saw Haley standing nervously on the stage just staring back at him. The music began to play and her voice filled the room, speaking the words to only Nathan.

I never promised you a ray of light
I never promised there'd be sunshine everyday
I'll give you everything I have
The good. The bad.

Why do you put me on a pedestal?
I'm so up high that I can't see the ground below
So help me down, you've got it wrong
I don't belong there

One thing is clear
I wear a halo
I wear a halo when you look at me
But standing from here
You wouldn't say so
You wouldn't say so if you were me

And I.. I just wanna love you
Oh, oh I.. I just wanna love you

I always said that I would make mistakes
I'm only human and that's my saving grace
I fall as hard as I try
So don't be blinded
See me as I really am
I have flaws and sometimes I even sin
So pull me from that pedestal
I don't belong there

One thing is clear
I wear a halo
I wear a halo when you look at me
But standing from here
You wouldn't say so
You wouldn't say so if you were me

And I.. I just wanna love you
Oh, oh I.. I just wanna love you

Why, you think that you know me
But In your eyes
I am something above you
It's only in your mind
Only in your mind
I wear a..
I wear a..
I wear a Halo

One thing is clear
I wear a halo
I wear a halo when you look at me
But standing from here
You wouldn't say so
You wouldn't say so if you were me

And I.. I just wanna love you
Oooh I.. I just wanna love you

I just wanna love you
Haaaa halo, hah-ay, hay halo (repeat x9)

All that Nathan could do was just stand there and look up at the girl who had just sung her heart out. Her voice had been so beautiful, so very different from anything that he had ever heard before. The room became flooded with applause and that's when he came out of his trance. He saw that Haley was looking at him and in an instant he too was clapping.

"See I told you it would work." Molly whispered to Haley as she took a bow.

"And that's why you are one of my best friends." Haley said hugging Molly.

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

Nathan walked over to the two girls and hugged his sister first. He just stood there looking at Haley for a moment trying to figure out what he felt when he heard someone calling her name. And there he was Chris Keller.

"That was amazing babe." Chris said grabbing Haleyand kissing her before she could say anything.

"Chris what the hell do you think your doing." Haley asked pushing him away.

Nathan was ready to punch Chris before he spoke.

"It's ok Haley I think that it's time you tell Nathan." He smirked

"Tell me what Haley." Nathan asked putting his arm down.

"I have no idea what he is talking about." Haley said to Nathan.

"Haley come on, you need to just tell him. I mean at this point I feel kind of bad for the guy."

"Haley tell me right now, what is he talking about." Nathan almost begged.

"Nathan I swear there is nothing to tell." Haley pleaded back.

"Haley you guys just started dating and already with the lies." Chris spat.

"Chris shut up you have no idea what you are talking about." Haley yelled causing people to begin to stare.

"So you mean to tell me that you don't think it's important for Nathan to know that you're leaving soon." Chris said with a smile.

"Haley what does he mean your leaving." Nathan asked.

"Haley here has been offered a record deal by my manager." Chris said.

"Chris I just talked to him, I haven't even thought about what I am going to do." Haley said.

"You see Nathan he wants Haley and I to work together you know like a couple." Chris said putting his arm around Haley.

"Is this true Haley." Nathan asked too hurt to even notice her discomfort.

"Nathan I was going to tell you, I swear I was right after I decided what I was going to do." Haley said putting her hand on his arm.

"Get away from me, god you know I thought the song was a sign you know, the truth of how you felt and then you go and do this. Why do I feel like your always lieing to me Haley." Nathan said pushing past her and leaving.

"What is your problem Chris you had no right to say anything." Haley said walking away.

Just then Molly stepped out from the shadows.

"You are a real ass you know that, Why can't you just except that she is happy with out you." Molly asked.

"She will never be without me, do you really think that I am just going to let her go."

"Well you better knock it off because right now you're fucking with my family. And trust me no one gets away with that." Molly glared at him.

"Speaking of fucking when are we going to hit the sack sweet thang." Chris flirted.

"I'm serious stay the hell away from Haley and the rest of us."

"And what are you going to do if I don't?" Chris asked stepping towards her.

"This." Molly said as she kneed him in the balls. "I mean it stay the hell away."
