Chapter Five- Temptation Island

"Okay", Haley began standing up and dusting her shorts off. "We need to get water, food and shelter built before nightfall. We should divide up the duties so everything can get done."

"Alright", Nathan said. "Let's get to work!"

"Okay", Haley began. "What about Nathan and Cailey go get some water?"

Nathan and Cailey nodded approvingly.

"And Carly and Tim go see if there's anything in the ocean or near the water to eat…you know mussels, clams, whatever."

"Like from the ocean?" Carly asked rolling her eyes.

"Yeah", Haley said with an unbelieving look on her face. "And Amy and Lucas why don't you guys go look for food in the forest and Peyton, Brooke and I will stay here to work on the shelter."

"Sounds good", Amy said. "Let's go Luke." The two walked off into the forest looking for food while Tim and Carly headed down the beach and Nathan and Cailey went off in search of water.

"Do you think that was smart?" Brooke asked. "Letting the guys go off with them?"

"I wouldn't worry about it", Haley said picking up some stray palm leaves. "I don't think we have anything to worry about!"

"She's right Brooke", Peyton said joining Haley in gathering palm leaves. "Those girls aren't even their type."

Haley and Brooke stared at Peyton skeptically.

"Okay, well maybe they are their types but still!" Peyton said. "The guys are too smart to fall into the trap of some pretty girl they met on an island."

"Lucas might be", Brooke said. "But do you remember when Tim saw Haley in that outfit before we went to the club?"

Peyton nodded slowly.

"There's your answer", Brooke said.

Haley rolled her eyes. "You worry too much Brooke. The guys care about us and nothing could change that."

Brooke shrugged and started picking up leaves.

"I hope you're right Haley", Peyton whispered to herself. "I hope you're right."

"So, Cailey", Nathan said as they walked through the forest looking for any sign of a water source. "What do you want to do?"

"Be a teacher", Cailey said ducking under a branch. "No doubt. I love helping people, especially with school stuff."

"Really", Nathan said with a chuckle.

"Yes, really!" Cailey said. "Is there something wrong with that?"

"No", Nathan said. "It's just, you remind me a lot of Haley. She tutors at our high school. That's how we met actually…through tutoring."

"Really?" Cailey said. "She seems like a really great girl."

"Yeah, she's the best", Nathan said.

"You must really love her", Cailey stated.

"Yeah, I couldn't imagine being without her", Nathan said.

"It must be nice", Cailey said as they continued to walk.

"What?" Nathan asked.

"Having someone you love that much", Cailey said. "All through high school I never once found someone that I truly loved. Yeah I dated guys and had boyfriends but no one that I ever really, really cared about."

"It took a lot of mistakes and a big cry for help, for me to find Haley", Nathan said. "Don't worry. I haven't known you that long, but I can tell you're a great girl Cailey."

"Thanks Nathan", she replied. "You're not so bad yourself."

Nathan smiled. "Hey I think I hear water!" He said running ahead to the sound. Cailey followed behind.

"I knew it!" Nathan said as they approached a rushing stream.

"Good job!" Cailey said as she took off her red shirt, revealing her floral print bikini.

"What are you doing?" Nathan asked.

"Taking a bath", Cailey said slipping off her capris and stepping carefully into the cool water. "Come on in. The water's great!"

"Uhh…that's okay", Nathan said. "We should really just fill these cans and get back."

"Oh come on!" Cailey said. "How long has it been since you've actually washed up?"

Nathan thought for a moment. The thought of fresh water did sound pretty good.

Nathan shrugged, why not? He slipped off his tee shirt and waded into the water.

"So, Lucas Scott", Amy asked as they walked into the forest. "What's your story?"

"Well, what do you want to know Amy Ashton?" Lucas said.

"Well, anything", Amy said. "Give me an insight to your life."

"Well, my mom and Nathan's dad got together in high school, she got pregnant with me and then Nathan's dad abandoned me and my mom and married Nathan's mom in college and in turn got her pregnant."

"Wow, you're seriously more disturbed then me!" Amy said shaking her head. "So you and Nathan are like brothers?"

"Technically", Lucas began. "Yes. In reality…no. Although since this trip things have been going a lot better, but Nathan and I used to HATE each other. I mean we would really go at it. We would fight, pull pranks, we even got suspended from a basketball game once because we ended up fighting on the court."

"Yikes", Amy said. "I don't know how anyone could hate you Lucas, you seem like a really cool guy."

Lucas smiled.

"I bet you get all the girls", Amy said with a smile.

"Ha!" Lucas said laughing. "Peyton's actually the first real relationship I've ever been in."

"You and Peyton?" Amy asked. "I thought I saw a spark between you two when you nearly clobbered me with a log."

"Ah, sorry about that", Lucas said. "So…what's your adolescent trauma?"

"Ah…", Amy said. "Me. Well, my dad's druggie who's currently in jail in God knows where. My mom is off backpacking through Europe with her current husband, I think he's number five. My sister Anna is an alcoholic in rehab and me…well I'm off to college this fall."

"No I definitely think you're more messed up", Lucas said playfully.

"Hey that wasn't funny!" Amy said playfully hitting him on the shoulder.

"Alright, alright!" Lucas said putting his hands up in surrender. "Look there's some coconuts up there", he said pointing up to a tree. "I'll try and climb up and knock some down and you try and catch them okay?"

"Okay", Amy said as Lucas began to climb.

"I'll try not to hit you in the head", Lucas said with a wink.

"You try it Scott", Amy said pointing an warning finger at Lucas. "And you'll be sorry."

"We'll see", Lucas said as he continued to climb.

"Carly!" Tim stated. "You know you're going to have to actually come near the water, if we wanna find some food."

"I think not Captain Crayfish!" Carly called from the beach.

"Would you at least hold the bucket for me!" Tim called up to her.

Carly walked down to the ocean where Tim was. "Fine", she said grabbing the bucket out of his hand. "As long as I don't have to touch those icky fish."

"They're not fish Carly!" Tim said getting annoyed. "They're mussels!"
"Whatever!" Carly said. "It all comes from the same guck-filled water source, we call the ocean."

"Oh would you can it!" Tim said throwing a few mussels into the bucket. "God, just like Brooke!" Tim muttered under his breath.

"What?" Carly asked defiantly.

"I said that you are exactly like Brooke!" Tim yelled. "A self-centered brat!"

"Well, I wouldn't say you're the model of a great human either!" Carly retorted.

"Oh really", Tim stated moving closer.

"Oh really", Carly said.

The two suddenly rushed into a fiery kiss, dropping the bucket of mussels, not caring where they went. They broke after a minute and stared at each other harshly and then they rushed into another kiss.

"Get off my boyfriend!" Brooke yelled approaching Carly and Tim.

"Brooke!" Tim said stepping away from Carly immediately.

"And stay off him!" Brooke yelled at Carly, who was standing at the side her arms crossed in defiance.

"For your information little girl", Carly said stepping closer to Brooke. "He's the one who kissed me."

"Is this true Tim?" Brooke asked Tim, staring at him furiously.

Tim remained silent.

"Tim!" Brooke yelled. "I want an answer!"

He remained silent.

"Well, I guess I got my answer", Brooke said.

"Brooke, come on…" Tim said pleadingly.

"No", Brooke said. "Just stay away from me! Both of you!" She said as she stomped off into the distance.

"I wonder what's taking Nathan so long?" Haley asked setting down the palm leaves that she was covering the roof of their shelter with.

"Yeah, Lucas has been gone a while too." Peyton replied.

"I'm gonna go try and find him", Haley said.

"Yeah me too", Peyton said. "I'll see ya later Haley."

"Okay", Haley said as the two of them went off in separate directions.

Haley wandered through the forest ducking over and under branches looking for her boyfriend. "Nathan? Nathan!" She called. She heard running water up ahead. "Maybe him and Cailey needed some help with the water", she said heading toward the sound of rushing water.

"Nathan?" Haley said as she approached the water. Her eyes widened at the sight before her. Right in front of her eyes was her boyfriend, Nathan Scott splashing around in a more than playful manner with Cailey.
"Nathan", Haley asked tears in her eyes. "What are you doing?"

Nathan stopped laughing and looked up at a very upset Haley. "Haley, it's not what you think!" Nathan said.

"Oh really?" Haley said with a smug laugh. "So you're not practically making-out with a girl you barely know right in front of me?"

"Haley", Nathan said getting out of the water. "This is not what it looks like."

"Yeah", Cailey said. "It's not what you think Haley really."

"I don't want to hear anything from YOU!" Haley screamed at Cailey.

"Come on Haley it wasn't her fault", Nathan said pulling on his shirt.

"Oh so now you're defending her!" Haley yelled tears streaming down her cheeks.

"No Haley…"

"Save it Nathan!" Haley said as she ran off into the forest.

"I have to go after her!" Nathan said.

"No!" Cailey said grabbing Nathan's arm. "Let her cool off. Trust me! I'm a girl, I know how they operate!"

"Are you sure?" Nathan asked. "She was really upset. I've never seen her like that! I have to go find her!"

"Let's just head back", Cailey said. "I'll bet that she's just gone back there. She'll be fine."

"Whatever", Nathan stated. "Let's just go."

"Lucas! Oh my God!" Amy yelled grabbing her head. "That one just landed on my head!"

"Oh…I'm so sorry Amy", Lucas said quickly climbing down to see if she was okay. "Are you okay?" He said touching her forehead delicately.

"Yeah", She said bringing her hand up to Lucas'.

"Good", He said as she bent her head up to his and she placed a kiss lightly on his lips. It caught Lucas totally by surprise.

"Lucas what are you doing?" Peyton asked coming up behind them.

"Peyton!" Lucas said pulling away from Amy immediately. "This was so not…"

"Anything?" Peyton said. "So your lips weren't just against hers?"

"Peyton it wasn't like that", Lucas said rushing up to Peyton. "It wasn't like that at all. She kissed me."

"And you did nothing about it Luke!" Peyton yelled. "That's just as bad Lucas! I'm done! Just get away from me!" She said as she turned around and walked back to the camp.

Brooke stomped back onto the beach furious and upset at Tim and that girl!

"Peyton!" Brooke said as she saw her best friend. "You will not believe what just happened!"

"Oh, I bet I can!" Peyton said. "I just caught Lucas and our new friend Amy kissing!"

"No way! Tim and that bitch Carly were doing the same thing!" Brooke yelled.

"God! What's happened to all of us?" Peyton said sitting down on the sand, as Brooke sat beside her.

"I dunno Peyt", Brooke said leaning against her best friend. "I don't know."

"Brooke!" Tim called running up to Brooke and Peyton with Carly trailing behind.

"Stay away from me Tim!" Brooke yelled.

"Peyton come on listen to me!" Lucas yelled approaching them.

"I don't want to hear it Luke!" Peyton screamed.

"Guys?" Nathan yelled as he ran up to the group with Cailey behind him.

"WHAT?" They all yelled.

"Have any of you guys seen Haley?" He asked.

"No, why?" Peyton asked.

"She saw me and Cailey and got the wrong idea", Nathan said.

"Well, didn't all of you just screw up today!" Brooke said. "Not only did all three of you cheat on the one person you say you care about the most, but you all did it within then span of four hours."

"What?" Nathan asked confused.

"Let's just say Lucas and Tim had their own fun, with their respective girls as well", Brooke replied.

"Just…", Nathan said wondering how these girls had tempted them all. His thoughts returned to Haley. "We have to find Haley! It's getting dark and we have to find her!

"Okay", Lucas said. "Let's split up and find her."

"I have to get to her", Nathan whispered to himself. "I just have to."

Haley James ran through the darkening forest, her ankle throbbing in pain. She ran as fast as she could, over logs and branches, limping the entire time. Wet tears streamed down her face, how could Nathan do this? Haley thought as the forest continued to darken with the night. She could barely see in front of her, not to mention her tear soaked eyes blurred her vision further.

"Ah!" Haley let out a cry as she tripped over a log, falling onto the earth below, hitting her forehead on a sharp rock, as everything went black.

"Here are some flashlights from the First Aid box", Peyton said throwing flashlights to each group. "Nathan and Lucas", she stated. "You two go together. And Tim and Brooke and I will go in a group."

"What can we do?" Cailey asked.

"You three!" Peyton said shooting an accusing look Cailey's way. "Can stay here and do nothing! You are the cause of this, so just stay put!" Peyton yelled. "Come on guys, let's go", she said to the others.

Nathan and Lucas ran through the forest each holding flashlights.

"Haley!" Nathan screamed running through the forest. "Haley!"

"Haley!" Lucas called. "It's Lucas! Answer me! Haley!"

Nathan shone his flashlight on the ground. "Luke get over here now!" Nathan screamed, seeing Haley lying on the ground, a bloody gash on her forehead from a rock. Nathan kneeled down by his girlfriend and rocked her in his arms. "Haley, come on baby", He said tears streaming down his face. "I'm sorry! God, I'm so sorry!" He screamed throughout the forest.

"Nathan, what…" Lucas said running up to them. "Haley!" He yelled seeing an unconscious Haley lying in Nathan's arms.

"Lucas what's happening!" Peyton screamed running up to him, with Brooke and Tim not too far behind. "We heard you guys screaming…what", Peyton stopped short. "Oh my God, Haley!"

"She's gotta be okay", Nathan said rocking Haley back and forth sobbing. "She has to be."

"Okay", Lucas said kneeling next to his younger brother, putting a supportive hand on his back. "Let's take her back to the beach where she can rest, then we'll go from there okay?"

Nathan nodded and picked Haley up in his arms, cradling her carefully. They made their way back to the beach where Nathan sat Haley down softly on the sand. Lucas took off his sweatshirt and covered Haley's arms with it.

"Oh my God!" Amy said approaching the group.

"Get away from her!" Lucas yelled at her. "All three of you. Just leave us alone!"

"I'm so sorry Nathan", Cailey pleaded. "I didn't mean to…"

"Save it Cailey", Nathan said. "Maybe we'll talk when Haley gets better, but for now just leave!"

Amy, Cailey and Carly left the group to tend to Haley. "Can I have…" Nathan started. "I want to talk to her."

"Of course", Peyton whispered. "Lucas and I have some things to discuss anyway."

"Us too", Brooke said nudging Tim in the ribs. The two couples went off in their separate directions, leaving Nathan alone with Haley.

"Haley", Nathan said taking her hand. "I am so sorry for everything. I should never have gotten into the stream, I'm sorry. I love you so much Haley! I can't imagine being without you! Please just wake up and talk to me!" Nathan said tears running down his face, sobbing uncontrollably. "Please, I love you more than anything Haley."

Suddenly, Nathan felt Haley's hand squeeze his, very gently though.

"Haley?" Nathan asked wiping his eyes.

"Nathan?" Haley whispered her eyes fluttering open.

"I'm right here baby", Nathan said. "I'm sorry Haley, I'm so sorry for everything. Cailey means nothing to me, nothing."

"I believe you", Haley choked out. "I believe you." She said trying to sit up. She sat upright, Nathan cradling her in his arms. "I was so scared running through that forest. I just kept seeing you and Cailey. I know you love me Nate. I know that Cailey came onto you."

"I would never do anything to hurt you Haley", Nathan said softly. "I thought we were just getting cleaned up in that stream. She came onto me."

"I know", Haley with a smile, lifting her hand up to Nathan's cheek, wiping away his tears.

"I thought I lost you tonight", Nathan said.

"You didn't", Haley said looking into his eyes. "I love you so much Nathan, more than you will ever know."

Nathan lifted Haley's face to his and placed a soft kiss on her lips. "I love you, I want to spend forever with you."

"You can", Haley whispered.

"Then", Nathan said. "I want you to marry me."

"What?" Haley asked pulling back in surprise.

"I want you to marry me." Nathan repeated.

"You have got to be kidding me!" Haley said. "Nathan we're not even out of high school!"

"I am fully serious", Nathan said looking straight into her eyes.

"Nathan", Haley said taking his hands. "I would love nothing more then to spend the rest of my life with you. But you know we can't get married! Not now at least!"

"If not now", Nathan began. "Then will you marry me after we graduate. After high school's over and we're on our own. Will you marry me?"

Haley smiled at Nathan's persistence. "Yes!" Haley said. "Yes I'll marry you!" She said wrapping her arms around his neck.

"I love you", he whispered into her ear.

"I love you too", she whispered back.

Nathan took Haley's right hand, that she wore the ring he gave her on. He took it off her right hand and slid the ring on to her left ring finger. "Now it's official."

"You're amazing you know that?" Haley said with a smile.

"Only because I have you", He said kissing her on the lips.

A/N~ I know I know really couply! But I love Naley scenes and I couldn't go a chapter with them being mad at each other. :) I didn't think that Nathan and Haley getting engaged was too unusual, because I know that there are some seniors at my high school that are engaged, so I thought it would be okay :) Remember to review! Thanks :)
