Who I Became
Chapter 52
Guess it's true
I'm not good at a one-night stand.
But I still need love
Cause I'm just a man.
Weeks Later
"Sir. Your all set". "The attendant says as he's given back his passport."
"Thank you very much." "He says as he walks toward the gate."
"Walking onto the plane finding a seat near the back with a window view."
"Looking out the window." "Then down at his phone." "Going through his contacts." "Finding Haley's name." "As he deletes it." "Taking a breath."
"While he turns off his phone." "Closes his eyes." "And drowns out the sound."
"Putting in his headphones." "Just as he hears the loudspeaker's announcement."
"You are now leaving Tree Hill".
"Hales you look like you've got a bunch of things going on in that pretty head of yours." "Peyton remarks."
"I do." "Haley says smiling." "And we'll get to that." "How is family planning going with Anna.?" "Haley asks curious."
"Great we are looking into profiles for donors and looking into adopting." "We're trying to figure out which is the best path for us." "The more we dig into things the realer it feels." "Peyton says smiling."
"you both will figure it out." Whichever way you go." "Your child is going to so lucky." "To have two incredible mothers." "Haley says."
"Thanks". "Peyton says tearing up." "Now let's get back to you." "What's up?"
"Peyton asks.?"
"Well you know how close Nathan and I have gotten over these months." "Well we decided to take advantage of a night alone." "And we slept together." "He gave his heart to me before then but especially that night." "And in the morning."
"I told him what a good friend he was." "As if nothing had happened." "Between us at all." "Haley said shaking her head lightly."
"Why do you think you reacted that way to him and what happened between you two."? "Peyton asks curious."
"I love him." "But I'm scared of going there with him." "Of letting him in on all of my past." "Haley says wiping her eyes."
"Haley Nathan loves you. he's never judged you for your mistakes. And he's stood by you. Waited for you." "You can trust him." "You have nothing to fear." " Tell him what you're hiding." Let him and yourself be loved." "Peyton said."
"Your right." "he deserves to know the truth." "I'm going to call him and ask him to come over and talk."
"Good for you." "Brooke had told me once." "love does not knock often when it does you have to let it in." "Let me know how it goes." "Peyton says as she waved goodbye."
"Of course I'll tell you everything." "Haley says waving back."
"On the way home." "Haley knew how hot and cold she was being and it needed to stop. "For the sake of herself and everyone else she loved."
"Once inside she got out her phone and started to dial."
"When she noticed 3 envelopes and was stopped in her tracks."
"All from Nathan. Hers was on top." "So she opened it and started reading."
Haley. I've given myself to you in as many ways as I can think of and it seems like all of my attention, patience, love, and devotion. Adds up to us just being friends.
And I can't do that Haley. Not anymore. I'm in love with you. But friendship is all you can give. So I'm taking myself out of it.
I'm leaving Tree Hill for good.
Please give Mathew and Karen my letters
They meant so much to me.
Nathan.
