Through My Eyes
Chapter 51
Sooner or later we all choose a path. Sometimes you never look back, and sometimes life forces you to."
Looking out at the view in front of him. He thinks back to when him and Lucas were younger and the camping trips they used to take with their uncle Keith. Keith always made their time together full of fun and good memories even a life lesson or two. But as he and Lucas got older they lost interest in going out there spending so much time with him. Keith never held it against them. Laughing as he said "Go on. Be young. This place will always be here." Looking in his pocket he looked around to make sure he was alone then he through it watching as it washed into the water. There the last piece of Haley was gone from him. Aside from Debra. Who he saw loved with his entire being. But couldn't help but notice the parts of Haley she had in her that made his heart ache. Because she would never have her mother and the traits she reflected were the ones he loved the most about her. If he could be so wrong about Haley who knows what else, he could be so wrong about. He thought himself.
Sighing as he tried to get out of his own head. Feeling a hand on his shoulder.
"Hey there stranger. I think we've met before. I wrote your number on that napkin. You never called me back." Millie said as she sat beside Nathan.
"Millie why are you here.?" Nathan asked.
"Well I haven't been to a Scott event in a while. And I was hopeful that I would see you." She said looking into his eyes. "I've reached out calling and texts." "Since we reconnected at the wedding you've been radio silent." "And I'm just curious as to why." "Did I come on to strong or give you some indication that I'm not interested." "Or make you feel uncomfortable.?" "I've been racking my brain trying to figure this out." "I've heard what happened." "But I would like to talk to you about it and here your thoughts and feelings." "I'm a good listener." "Not judging you at all." "I would love the chance to spend some time with Debra." "She is just heart melting." "Just so you know for a fact." "I like you Nate." "I've cared about you for a long time now." "If you don't feel the same way that's okay. We could just be friends." Millie said to him looking away.
As Nathan turned to her. "So you feel sorry for me." "And my complicated life." "I don't need you or your charity." "Go find someone who can give you what you're looking for." He said looking at her. As he started to walk down the trail.
"What is your problem Nathan.?" "I keep myself out there for you and you keep rejecting me." "If that's how you want it." "Fine." Millie said to him as she started to walk away. "You seem to be really trying to live your life all alone." "And will succeed in pushing everyone away who cares about you." "So in the end Haley wins because you will end up just as bitter and miserable as she was." "Give me a call when you want to start living again." Millie said wiping her eyes. As she took a breath and got into her car driving away.
Nathan continued to walk on the trail getting farther away.
"This couldn't get any more perfect." Karen said smiling as she looked around at the secluded area Keith and her had walked to. With birds chirping and ducks in the pond.
"Actually you could make it the best day of my entire life." Keith said as he started to get up.
"How would I do that.?" Karen asked smiling as she looked at him.
"Marry me Karen." "Let's spend the rest of our lives just like this loving each other and being around our family. "As I fall more in love with woman you've always been and continue to be." Keith said kneeling down on one knee.
"Yes Keith I will would marry you every day." "Forever is just the beginning." She said kissing him. As he slipped the ring on her finger. Holding her in his arms. In disbelief that she was his.
"I was wondering if you would like to spend an evening with me." "Like on a date?" Lucas asked looking into Olivia's eyes.
Smiling. As her eyes lit up.
"I would really like that." "I will go on a date with you." She said smiling taking his hand as he kissed her gently.
Prison
"I'm not keeping the baby." "I'm giving it to a woman named Samantha Walker." Carrie said touching her stomach.
