Chapter 27
Authors note : My readers i thank you.
This is the verison of haley i've been looking forward to writing. She is no longer the haley Nathan is used too.
She's gone through alot.
Talkin' 'bout, "Girl, I love you, you're the one"
This just looks like a re-run
And don't tell me you're sorry 'cause you're not.
"You settled for me didn't you.?" Haley asked. The question tossing and turning in his head as he entered the home.
"We have to make it quick this morning. Who's driving to school with me.?" Haley asked. As she entered the kitchen.
"I am. I have practice after school. Dawn said she'll stay after and bring me home." Nadia announced.
"That's nice. So why are really staying after.?" Haley questioned.
"To make sure my sister gets home safe. And i got detention." Dawn announced.
Haley glared at the teenager. "Seriously Dawn you just got finished having to stay after school to make up work you forgot about or didn't do and now another detention."
"I don't go looking for problems. They just find me." Dawn replied.
"You're grounded 2 weeks. School and home. That's it." Nathan proclaimed. Entering the kitchen.
"You know what no you keep the car and you're allowed to use it to take Dawn and Austin where they need to be." Haley added in.
"If no one else is coming along. I'm leaving now." Haley said. Handing the girls plates of breakfast she had set aside.
She then handed Austin his plate.
"I'll ride with dad. Bye momma." Austin said with a smile.
"Bye baby." Haley said.
"You should get something to go. I didn't make you anything." Haley announced.
Looking to Nathan before leaving the home.
"Are you and mom okay.?" Austin questioned. Picking up on the tension between his parents.
"We're better then ever." Nathan said. Leading the way out of the home.
...
Haley took a breath and watched the video again.
She knew it word for word at this point. Yet she couldn't stop watching it. How did being talk of the town happen again.?
What was her life becoming.?"
Seeing an incoming video call from Chris Keller made her smile.
The two had remained their friendship throughout the years.
"Why are you calling.? You're a big time singer and song writer." Haley teased.
"I'm calling in to check in with you. And let you know the chance to tour is never not open." He said.
