Chapter 8 Forbidden Feelings

Haley is outside drinking coffee with Lucas when Nathan pulls up. They say goodbye and Lucas leaves because him and Nathan are still in a fight about some silly basketball game. Haley runs out to the car and greets Nathan with a big hug. " What was that for?" he exclaimed. " What, I'm not allowed to hug you. I've missed you," Said Haley with a smile. " Gosh, I should go more often if I'm greeted like this all the time. So, how is Peyton?" asked Nathan " She's okay, She is really hurting from the contractions. The doctors say she going to have a C-section in a couple of hours. The hard thing is we can't see her because of some stress reason," Explained Haley. " So, we just stand and wait and hope everything is okay?" " Yes, it has been so hard on everyone because we want to see her." " I can't believe this happened how are you holding up?" asked Nathan. "I'm doing fine." Haley says this trying not to break out in tears. " Haley, that is the biggest lie I have ever heard you tell." " I really feel like my world is caving in. I just want to escape and get away from things." " I understand, I just went on that vacation to get away from my father and him pushing me around all the time," Nathan says with a smile. " Look, after this whole thing is over, I want to take everybody out to my beach house. I just want everybody to smile and relax," said Nathan. " That well be a good recovery state for Peyton," said Haley.

Meanwhile Lucas and Brooke were watching Haley and Nathan talk from inside.
" I don't get it that is the only time I've seen Haley smile ths whole day." Said Lucas
" Why, are you jealous?" said Brooke.
" Why would I be jealous? It is not like Haley and Nathan like each other," Lucas says this as he turns his head to Brooke expecting a response and there was none.
" She doesn't like Nathan does she?" asked Lucas one more time.
" Lucas look don't get your hopes up, but there might be a couple in the future," said Brooke. Lucas was shocked and confused. He never realized how much Haley liked Nathan how could he be so blind.
