"So what do you want," Nathan asked as he and Lucas sat at a corner table
in the hospital cafeteria.
"Well I figured since Haley doesn't think you're full of crap, then it's my job to find out what you're really doing with her," Lucas stated tactlessly.
Rolling his eyes Nathan replied, "She's my tutor."
"I understand she's tutoring you and I'm glad you brought her to the hospital but that doesn't explain what you're still doing here. She said you've been here with her all day so what I want to know is why?" Lucas asked.
"Well man who said what me and Haley's got is about grades?" Nathan asked cockily. (Sorry, I totally loved that quote!)
Taking a deep breath so as to not lose his cool Lucas looked at his little brother. "You know you're really starting to piss me off. Was that the plan? Are you just using her to get to me?" Hesitating Nathan looked down at the table. "Well I'll take the lack of an answer to mean yes," Lucas spit out angrily.
Banging his fist on the table Nathan looked up at Lucas, "You know it's none of your damn business what's going on between Haley and I. She's a big girl and can decide for herself who she wants to be friends with and for some unexplainable reason she wants to be friends with me. Besides she's just my tutor," Nathan half yelled trying to believe what he had just said.
Noting the uncomfortable look on his little brothers face Lucas knew there was more to the story then that. Looking him in the eye Lucas saw the answer. "You fell didn't you?"
Startled Nathan glanced around the cafeteria, "I don't know what you're talking about."
"It started out as a prank. You'd use Haley to get back at me but between now and last Friday something changed didn't it? You actually like her, maybe even care about her, if the great Nathan Scott can even care," Lucas replied waiting for him to deny it.
Turning red Nathan stood up, "You know what I don't need you psycho analyzing me. You don't know anything about me and you certainly don't know anything about how I feel so just stay the hell out of it" With that said Nathan started to walk away.
Standing quickly Lucas followed him out to the hall. Watching Nathan punch the number for the elevator Lucas started for the door for the steps. Before walking through Lucas turned back to Nathan. " Be careful with her. She hides behind her sarcasm but she's not as strong as she seems."
Glancing over at Lucas Nathan replied, "Well then I guess we have something in common then." Walking into the elevator Nathan punched the number for Haley's floor. While Lucas proceeded into the stairwell and up the two flights of steps to the lobby, he left the hospital leaving his best friend in the care of his little brother.
Using the only good thing his father taught him Nathan charmed Haley's nurse into letting him stay the night with her. Settling into the chair next to her bed Nathan looked at her sleeping peacefully. 'She looks like an angel' Nathan thought. ' God when did this happen. Yesterday I'm telling Tim how the plan is working and today I'm spending the night in her hospital room.' Rolling his eyes Nathan realized he was now psycho analyzing himself. 'Just let things happen' was his last thought as he drifted off to sleep.
Feeling the sun on her face Haley slowly opened her eyes. Remembering the events of the day before Haley opened her eyes wider and looked around. Startled she noticed the boy sleeping on the chair next to her. 'He looks so young' Haley thought. Sitting up straighter Haley had one question. 'Why is he here' her mind kept screaming. Reaching over Haley gently stroked Nathan's face until she saw his eyes start to open.
Nathan had been dreaming and damn was it a good dream. Until his dream was disturbed by a soft feather like touch against his cheek. Slowly coming out of his dream his weary eyes focused on the angel in front of him. "God you're beautiful," Nathan whispered.
Pulling her hand back as if he had just burnt her Haley stared wide-eyed. "What did you just say?"
Sitting up straighter Nathan realized he had actually said that thought out loud. Debating on whether or not to lie Nathan decided that if he and Haley were going to start something it had to be different then him and Peyton. "I said that you're beautiful."
"Well I figured since Haley doesn't think you're full of crap, then it's my job to find out what you're really doing with her," Lucas stated tactlessly.
