Haley: Your beach house? Isn't that like 3 hours away from Tree Hill?

Nathan: Yeah Haley it is, but there nobody will no you or be pressuring you to do or say things that you're not ready to say. And if that's where you want to go than that is where we will go.

Haley: You know what Nathan, I think that I will go. I mean what's there left in Tree Hill for me anyway?

Nathan: I'm in Tree Hill for you Haley Ok how bout I go to Lucas's house and get your stuff, and then we can hit the road?

Haley: Ok, I really don't want to see Lucas or Karen right now, so I'm gonna stay in the car ok?

On the highway to Nathan's beach house.

Nathan is sporting a nice new shiner, courtesy of Lucas. Lucas did not like the idea of Nathan taking a newly hurt and very venerable Haley away ALONE for the weekend to a place nobody knows. (Nathan did not tell Luke where they were going) Haley had heard all the commotion from the car and came running into the house, she saw Nathan slumped up against the wall and totally went nuts. She yelled at Lucas calling him every name under the sun, she even got a few good punches in before Nathan came to his senses and got her out of the house, and away form doing some very real harm to her friendship with Lucas.

They are now riding down the highway going 110 km/h in total silence, except for the occasional sniffle out of Haley

Nathan: Are you Ok Haley??

Haley: (sniffles) Yeah I'm just sorry that Lucas hit you, he had no right to do that.

Nathan: (unconsciously takes Haley's hand and kisses it, then not letting it go) No problem, I don't want you to even think about it, I've gotten worse and I've survived.

Three Hours later

Haley has fallen asleep, on Nathan's shoulder.

They are at the beach 'house'—More like mansion

Nathan: Wake up Haley, we're here. Haley? Come on we're at the beach house…

Haley: Uh? Mommy 10 more minutes……Nathan……a nice guy……could fall in love with him……Beach house……BEACH HOUSE?!? Nathan!! OH MY GOD! Nathan!!

Nathan: Yeah, Hi, Haley, come on we're here. A nice guy? Could fall in love with him?? Man this is going to be an interesting weekend…

Author's Note: Sorry about how short this chapter was. It was sort of a filler, until I decide what's gonna happen between Nathan and Haley. I have definite ideas, I just don't know how to go about making them into the story. Please take the time to review, and tell me what you think. If you have any suggestions, that would really help me a lot. Ciao!
