All Sorts of Things

CHAPTER 5

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

RECAP: "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.

 

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

"I'll say it again, what happened?" Haley repeated.

Nathan tried to look away but he couldn't, not to Haley.

"I said some things," Nathan replied, reluctantly.

Haley let out a sigh and ran her hand through her hair, "What did you say?"

"I told her our relationship meant nothing," Nathan said, looking at the ground.

"Nathan, do you know what you just did? Those words hit a girl's mind harder than guys."

"I think it hit her a lot harder than you think."

Haley looked at Nathan, "What do you mean?"

Nathan returned her look, his eyes filled with regret.

"You guys were……?"

Nathan nodded.

"If you guys were…what happened?"

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

Ty started to speed; she raced inside the garage and locked up. She ran into the house, trying to hide the fact she had been crying. She ran passed Julie who had been eating ice cream and reclining on the sofa.

Julie took a quick look at Ty and ran after her but stopped at the foot of the stairs, "Ty, what happened?"

"Nothing, it's just my contact lenses!" she yelled, entering her room.

"But…" Julie heard the door slam, "You don't wear contact lenses anymore. Nathan, what did you do?"

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

Ty slammed the door and leaned against it. She buried her face in her hands and cried. She walked over to dresser and opened the fourth drawer and took about a black book which looked a lot like a photo album.

She sat down near the side of her bed on the floor facing the wall. She opened the book and started looking at the photos she had taken with Nathan while she still lived in Tree Hill. She flipped through the pages and finally got the page where a silver necklace with a heart pendant was clinging to the page. Ty traced her finger along the chain of the necklace. She looked away from the page and leaned back. It was all just a big mistake.

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

"Hey Julie, I'm going over to Nathan's for while," said a 12-year-old Ty.

"You gonna tell him?" Julie said, raising her eyebrow at her little cousin.

"I have no choice, I mean I am leaving in a week, might as well before I just leave without notice," Ty sighed, crossing her arms over her chest and leaning over the counter.

"Good luck with that," said Julie, giving Ty a weak smile.

"Thanks, I think I'll need it."

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

Ty stood in front of Nathan's front door, she was about to knock when the door opened, revealing a blonde haired woman with a bobby haircut.

"Mrs. Scott! Hi," Ty said, showing a fake smile.

"Tyline! How are you?" said Mrs. Scott.

"I'm great, is Nathan here?"

"Oh yeah, he's in his room, you can go right up. By the way, can you tell Nathan I'm off to a business meeting and I'll be back later?" asked Mrs. Scott.

"Sure."

Ty ran up the stairs to Nathan's room.

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

"Come on Nathan, get a grip," Nathan said to himself, glancing at a small square box on top of his dresser.

He heard the door open; he looked back and watched Ty in.

"Nathan? Who are you talking to?" Ty giggled.

"Nobody…I need to tell you something," he said looking away.

"Yeah……me too, but you go first," Ty said, uneasily.

Nathan swiped the small box off the dresser and handed it to her.

"What this?" Ty asked, giving Nathan a questioning look. She took the box, opened it, and gasped. She pulled out a silver necklace with a heart pendant. "Omigosh, Nathan."

He took the necklace from her and started to put it on her.

"Thank you," she said, smiling at him.

Nathan looked at her, before he knew it; he grabbed her arm and pulled her into a deep embrace. He nuzzled against her neck.

"Nathan? What's wrong?" Ty said, wondering why he was hugging her so tightly.

Nathan brought himself up to her ear and whispered, "I love you." Without warning, Nathan kissed her.

Ty stood there wide-eyed for a moment, trying to grasp the fact if this was really happening. She tried to pull back but she couldn't move since Nathan's left arm slid itself around her waist and other tangled in her hair. She had no choice but to return his kiss, hoping he would let go.

They finally pulled apart, both breathing heavily. Tears started to well up in the corner of her eyes and threatened to spill. He gently wiped away the tears and started to pull her into another kiss but she pulled back all too quickly.

She looked at him, this time tears started to spill. She was about to tell him the truth but couldn't instead she whispered, "I'm sorry you can't," walking backwards towards the door.

She turned around, walking towards the door. She was about the open it when an arm shot out and grabbed her arm. Nathan turned her around and pushed her against the door. He wrapped his arm her waist and leaned his other arm against the door for support.

He brought his face close up to hers and asked "Seriously, can't you tell me what's wrong?"

"If I told you, you'd probably hate me afterwards," sniffed Ty.

"There's nothing you could possibly say for me to make me hate you."

"I'm moving to New York in a week," Ty said, trying to find her voice.

Nathan pulled back, "You're not serious?"

Ty looked at him then looked away.

"How long have you known about this?"

"Three weeks," Ty said quietly.

Nathan turned around in frustration, "Just go."

"Nathan please," Ty pleaded, as she reached out to him but he pulled away as soon as she placed her fingers on him.

She walked away from him, "I'm sorry," with that she walked out the door.

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

The next day Ty returned to Nathan's house with a bag of stuff that belonged to him. She knocked on the door. No one answered; she knew Nathan was home since he was blasting his music through the house. Obviously his parents weren't home; she looked to the bushes and found the extra house key. She let herself in and made her way to Nathan's room.

She opened the door slightly and slid inside. Nathan saw her and got up off his bed and walked towards her.

She handed the bag to him, "This is all the stuff I ever borrowed from you."

"Thanks."

"Yeah," Ty said, looking at the ground, "I'm sorry, you know that right?"

Nathan nodded, "Yeah," then turned away.

Ty saw this; tears started to spill. She turned away to the door hoping Nathan hadn't seen her crying. She started opening the door to leave, when a hand shot out and slammed the door.

She turned around to only see Nathan hovering over her. "Nathan, what is it?" Ty asked.

He didn't answer her; instead he planted a gentle kiss on her forehead. He pulled away and looked at her, then kissed her on the lips. He pulled away again and looked at her again; there he saw that she was crying. He led her to his bed and motioned her to sit down. She moved to the middle of the bed and sat down. He sat down in front of her. He brushed away her hair and gently kissed her forehead again. Ty sat there silently and wept till she couldn't take it anymore, she leaned into his chest and buried her face into his chest.

Nathan wrapped his right hand around her nape and his left hand, cupping and stroking her hair. "Shhhh…it's okay," he whispered trying to comfort her. She pulled back and looked at him; he brushed away her tears, and kissed her.

Still kissing her, he gently started to lower her so she laid flat on her back. Ty saw where this was going and gently pushed him away. She used her arm to support her as she got up slightly and gave Nathan an uneasy look.

"It's okay, I won't do anything you don't want me to do," Nathan said, reassuring her. He lowered her back down and leaned in for a deep kiss. His tongue ran under her bottom lip; she opened her mouth and let him in. His tongue slowly crept into her mouth, coaxing hers to play. He ran his right hand up and down her thigh causing her back to arch while is left was intertwined with her right hand. He moved to her to neck, planting gentle kisses on her neck.

She caught his hand that was on her thigh and brought it up to the buttons of her shirts. Nathan lifted his head from her neck and looked at her questioningly before getting what she wanted him to do. "Are you sure?" he asked. Ty flushed slightly and nodded. Nathan started to undo her buttons of her shirt and removed her shirt. She shivered slightly when Nathan removed her shirt. He moved her under the covers trying to keep her warm.

Ty got up a little and asked, "Nathan, can I stay the night?" Nathan smiled and nodded. She grabbed Nathan's phone and dialed Julie's number, "Julie, I'm spending the night at Nathan's. Okay…I won't," she clicked the phone off and put it down.

She turned back to Nathan to only find him lying next to her under the covers; he had taken off his shirt. He took her hand and kissed the inside of her palms; he kneeled over her and kissed her again before drifting off to sleep.

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

'I shouldn't have stayed there that night. I shouldn't stayed there at all,' Ty thought to herself.

Ty heard a knock at the door and heard Julie's voice, "Ty, telephone, it's Lance."

"Okay, thanks Julie," she replied, answering the phone.

"Hello?"

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

Yay!! I finished it before Christmas. That's the longest chapter I've ever wrote.

Now there's a side of Nathan you've never seen before…well maybe we will in the next couple of episodes with Haley.

Here's the DISCLAIMER since I forgot to put it in the last chapter: I don't own One Tree Hill.
