[b]~Chapter 9~[/b]

Nathan was on his way to his last class in which he had with Haley. As he was walking he couldn't get what his father said out of his head. It just made him doubt his relationship with Haley even more. He loves Haley with all his heart, but he doesn't think he could be with her anymore. It was there and then that Nathan made the most painful decision of his life. He was going to break up with Haley.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Haley arrived in her 9th period class. She looked around the room to see if Nathan was there but he wasn't there yet. Haley just walked to her seat in the back of the class waiting for the teacher. A minute later in walked Nathan. Haley looked up at him and when she saw his face he had this look in his eyes that she had never seen before. But the best she could make out was that he looked kind of sad and kind of hurt but every other expression she couldn't read. Then, Nathan looked up and he looked Haley in the eyes for a quick moment and then he turned and walked out the door. And all Haley could think of was 'What the hell?!'

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

I had finally arrived at my 9th period class after making my painful decision about Haley. I still had time before I was late for class. While I was walking I was trying to figure out how to end it with Haley without hurting her. But even I know it's going to hurt both of us very much. When I opened the door and walked into the classroom I saw her. She looked up at me a second later and she looked at me for a quick moment. As, soon as I saw her look me in the eyes like she did I couldn't take it knowing I was about to her. So, I just opened the door and ran. I ran as fast as I could and found myself looking at a sign that said "Basketball canceled until further notice." That's when I knew I was at the gym. I opened the door praying there was no one in there. When I opened the door it was empty. And I for one was glad.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

After Nathan ran out of the classroom I waited a moment then asked Ms. Caprio if I could go to the bathroom. She told me to write out a pass. When I left the class I started to check everywhere tutoring center and all. I didn't find him anywhere and he didn't leave school because his car was outside. I was just about to give up and go back to class. As, I was walking I heard a sound come from the gym. I thought it was weird because there weren't any 9th period gym classes. So, I walked up to the door and looked through the little window and I saw him; Nathan. I opened the door and look ant him for a few minutes before calling out his name.

"Nathan."

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

I was in the gym shooting basketballs, but I just kept on missing the basket because I had so much on my mind I couldn't put my mind into shooting the ball. I was busy thinking how I was going to break it off with my Haley. I was about to shoot another ball but I had a feeling some was there but shook it off. I was about to shoot again and I heard someone call my name and I froze. I knew it was her. It was Haley I know her anywhere. I slowly turned around and then I saw her and then said her name.

"Haley."

"We need to talk." Haley said
