Yay!! Fourth chapter!! This is the fourth chapter right? Oh well I lost count of how many chapters I wrote. How long have I not updated? I can't keep track. I was gonna start writing last Friday but I had a band concert I needed to go to…not exactly needed but wanted because I wanted to see this dude that likes my friend.

All Sorts of Things

CHAPTER 4

------------------------------**********************------------------------------

RECAP: "So you never answered my question, what made Nathan such an ass?"

"Why? Did you keep him in tact while you were here?" Peyton said as sarcasm filled her voice.

Ty smiled at this, "I guess you can say that."

"I guess it was the way he treated Lucas and everyone else at the time," Peyton said, recalling what happened when she went out with Nathan.

Ty listened as Peyton told her everything Nathan did, all she did was nod.

------------------------------**********************------------------------------

Nathan walked up the stairs on his way to his room; he closed the door as he walked in. After he closed the door, someone lightly tapped him on the shoulders.

Nathan jumped slightly and swiftly turned around to only see a smiling face of Ty.

"Did I scare you?" Ty asked while laughing.

"What do you think?" Nathan said seriously.

"Sorry," Ty apologized, rolling her eyes.

"How did you get in here anyway?"

"The way I always got into your room, by climbing that thing that leads up to your window."

"Oh, so why are you here?" Nathan asked impatiently.

"I talked to Peyton today…"

Peyton, "What'd she say?" Nathan asked a little worried. Knowing Peyton, she probably made Nathan look bad.

Ty turned around, "She told me about your behavior when you found out Lucas was your half-brother and you were really threatened by him."

Nathan let out a breath of relief, "So what about it?"

"Ok, I'm just…gonna go ahead and use big words. After Peyton told everything that happened before I came, I find your behavior back then, very……atrocious. Nathan, what were you thinking?!" Ty said, raising her voice.

Nathan scoffed, "Ok, whatever I did back then, means nothing now. I don't even act that way towards Lucas anymore."

"I don't care how you act now, but I do care about how you acted back then. Whatever you did back then, affects your life now. I'm surprised you haven't scarred Lucas for life now," Ty said, practically yelling.

Nathan started to get angry, "Look I don't need this right now. Okay I thought my life had already gone through all the lecturing about my attitude. You have no idea about the hell I went through, and I don't need you here teaching me how to act the right way, Haley already does that, not that I mind but I don't need someone doing that. Whatever we had back then means nothing now!"

Ty couldn't believe what she just heard, she felt tears build up in her eyes but he didn't deserve her tears……at least not anymore.

Nathan, however, couldn't believe what he just said. They have been for almost……forever and now he just said that 'it means nothing'.

Ty looked away, "You know you're right, you don't need me here to tell you to act. It's your decision, so if you like decide to jack a car and get arrested for it then go ahead, it's your choice I had nothing to do with it," she said walking to the door.

Nathan let out a sigh, "Ty, you know I didn't mean it that way," he said trying to stop her from leaving.

He grabbed her arm and turned her around so she was facing him, "Really? Because I'm pretty sure you did," she said glaring at him.

She pushed him away and opened the door and came face-to-face with Haley who was about to knock.

"Haley! Hi," Ty said, as she put on a fake smile.

"Hi," replied Haley, looking at the tension between Nathan and Ty.

"I was just leaving, I'll see you tomorrow," Ty said, not even looking back at Nathan.

Haley waited to hear the door slam and the engine of Ty's bike to start before walking in to Nathan's room.

"What happened?" Haley asked.

------------------------------**********************------------------------------

Sorry this is kinda of a short chapter. Not as cryptic as it was supposed to be anyway…like it, hate it? Tell me so I know how to improve it.

Coming up in the next chapter: Nathan explains to Haley about what he said to Ty earlier, how will Haley react to this?
