Sorry I took so long to update but I had a writer's block. I wasn't sure
exactly were to go with this, but I kind of an idea now. this chapter
probably doesn't explain too much, but don't worry it will soon. And, don't
be to mad at me when you find out what happens. It is just to add to the
drama.
WHAT DO WE DO NOW- Chapter 4
Nathan hated his new tutor. He, yes it was a he, wasn't patient like Haley was. When he didn't understand how to solve a problem, his new tutor would get irritated and say things like 'It's really not that hard' and roll his eyes. Nathan wanted to just sock that stupid little smart kid, but did his best to contain himself. He would rather flunk math then spend more time with this dork, but he didn't want to be kicked off the team.
He hadn't seen Haley in over a week. Either she was doing and excellent job of avoiding him, or she wasn't at school. He decided to confront Lucas on the subject. Nathan spotted Luke standing by his locker, where he would usually be talking to Haley, but she was no where in site.
"Hey man. Have you seen Haley around lately?"
"Oh. umm. I guess you haven't heard."
"Heard what?"
"Haley's parents sent her away to live with her grandparents. It's about an hour drive from here; I don't really know where it is though. They had her transferred to another school that was only 5 minutes away from her grandparents' house."
"What?! Why?"
"I'm. umm. not really sure."
Nathan could tell Lucas was lying. He knew the reason and was holding back from him. "Dude, Luke tell me the truth. I need to know what happened."
"I can't. But I wouldn't go looking for her. She's really upset right now, and she doesn't want to talk to anyone. She won't even answer my calls or return my messages."
"Damn it!" Nathan cursed, a little louder then he intended to.
"I'm sorry man."
Nathan didn't respond. He just turned and walked away. He couldn't leave school; he already had too many absences and was afraid that he would be kicked off the team. He pulled out his cell phone and tried calling her. He instantly received her voicemail, which only meant that she didn't have it on. He was going to do everything he could to find her and talk to her.
After school he went to her house. He tried talking her parents into letting him know where she is, but they refused. After about two minutes of begging he told him he had to go. He tried the phone book but they weren't listed under James, so he figured it must have been her mom's parents. He had no idea what her maiden name was. He decided to go talk to Karen, because he knew she would know why. But, again, he was shot down for the truth. Luke, Karen, her parents, the phonebook, he didn't know what else to do. Again he tried calling her, but only to receive the voicemail. He listened to the whole message, longing to hear her voice again. When the beep finally came on he left a message:
"Hey Hales, it's me, Nathan. Lucas told me you left, but don't worry he didn't tell me why. I tried talking to you parents but to no avail, and your grandparents weren't listed in the phonebook. Even Karen wouldn't tell me, you must really not want anyone to find you. I miss you very much. I can't believe you didn't say by to me or even tell me you were leaving. Call me back, please! I need to talk to you, I'm begging you. Bye."
He hung up and decided there was nothing more he could do, so he headed home. When he got there, he just laid on his bed staring at the ceiling, his cell phone sitting close to him, waiting for her to call.
