I don't really want to go through the whole funeral thing, because that
will take away the Naley time plus it's too sad, so lets pretend that the
funeral has already taken place.
Chapter 10
By the time Haley got back to Karen's house, it was half past midnight. She knew everyone would be sleeping, so she walked in the front door without knocking. The sight she saw when she walked into the living room made her laugh. Lucas and Peyton were sprawled out on the floor, Peyton's head resting on Lucas chest with Lucas' arm protectively around her. Lucas' was snoring loudly and she was surprised that Peyton could sleep through that. The sight she saw next, surprised her more than Luke snoring, it even scared her a little. Nathan was lying on the couch with Jeffery's back right up against his chest with Nathan's arm around his waist. She could totally see the father/son resemblance between the two, and she couldn't decide if that was a good thing or a bad thing. She didn't want to pick Jeffery up, because she knew she would wake up Nathan, and she didn't really want to talk to him right now. She knew she would have to do it sometime, but that time was not right now. So, instead of going to pick up her son, she went into the guest bedroom to get some sleep.
She woke up the next morning with the feeling of being watched. Her eyes fluttered open, and saw Nathan sitting on a chair next to her bed.
"Nathan?"
"Good Morning."
"What are you doing in here? What time is it?"
"I'm here to talk to you, and it's almost 10:30."
"What? Oh my gosh, I need to go get Jeffery some breakfast and get him changed."
"It's already been done. Lucas got him up and changed and took everyone out to breakfast. It's just you and me. We are going to talk."
Groaning, Haley knew she had to get this over and done with. "What do you want to know?"
"Everything. Why didn't you tell me? Why did you run away and make me miss four years of my son's life. You know how much I don't want to be like my father, never knowing his son, never spending time with him, but you made my worst nightmare come true."
"I know I'm sorry. What was I suppose to do? You were going off to play basketball in Duke then probably the pros. I didn't to be hurt and left in the dust."
"Am I in the pros right now? No, you know why? I lost my inspiration for the game. I had no reason to play anymore. You were the reason I kept going as long as I did. I loved for you to come and watch me tear up the courts. I loved when you would run up and kiss after winning a great game. I missed that, so I just stopped playing. If you would have told me you were pregnant, I would not have left you in the dust, ever. I loved you so damn much, I wanted to die when you left." Haley was now crying.
"What do you want me to say; I'm sorry that I hurt you? I'm sorry that I left with out telling you? That it's my fault you aren't in the pros today? Well then I'm sorry. I don't know what else to do, I was 18 and pregnant and scared. I made a decision and I can't change the past, but I am terribly sorry." She put her hands up to her face and sobbed into them. She wanted to run away but she had no where to go, and she was still in her pjs.
Nathan stood from his spot in the chair and pulled Haley out of the bed for a much needed hug. "Haley," he said while he ran his fingers through her hair, "I didn't mean for it to sound that its your fault I'm not in the pros, because it's not. Really, I just lost the love my life, and along with that went my love for everything else in the world. You were the only thing that mattered."
Haley pulled back slightly and looked into his eyes to see if he was telling the truth. All Haley saw was pure love and sincerity. "I'm sorry," she managed to squeak out.
"I know. You said it yourself, we can't change the past, but we can change the future. We need to figure what to do, because I am not going to let you leave, and I never get to see my son again. Fours years is four years too long, and I have major catching up to do."
Haley didn't know what to say. She had a life in New Jersey, a restaurant, a house, new friends. But she knew that her life in New Jersey is nothing compared to the one back in Tree Hill with Nathan would be. Haley just stood there caught the blue sea he calls his eyes. Suddenly, she felt the familiar taste of his lips on hers. She immediately started kissing him back and granted him more access as he slid his tongue inside her mouth. He put his hands on the small of her back and pulled her even closer as a moan escaped her mouth.
They stood there for about five minutes making out, ignoring the outside world. Haley reluctantly pulled away and stared into his eyes once more.
"I love you." Nathan whispered as he looked down on the girl he has loved for so long.
She groaned, "Damn it."
Now he was confused, "What?"
"This makes it a lot harder to go back to New Jersey, because guess what. I love you too." Nathan smiled and pulled her into another passionate kiss.
