Smoke And Mirrors

Chapter 10

Nathan sighed deeply. Knowing he couldn't keep this secret from his wife any longer.

"I want the whole story Nathan. The truth." Haley insisted.

"I found out when you were away from the tour."

"I was isolating myself. I was in a dark place."

"She had helped me through it. She had gone through her own turmoil filled period. I learned."

"Through those months. We became friends."

"It was only then did she reveal to me that she had a child."

"Which turned out to be my child."

"This happened during freshman year. I was all over the place."

"Controlled by dad and his blind ambition."

"After i got DNA proof."

"I met her and i felt an instant connection."

"I see her and spend time with her whenever she's able too."

"You and Rachel hate each other."

"I thought it would be for the best if you never knew she existed."

"That's everything." Nathan explained.

Haley wasn't sure how to take or process this news.

Her and Nathan hadn't met until junior year.

This girl was created long before they ever crossed paths.
