Recap:
"Do I get a goodnight kiss?" Nathan asked, flashing his charming smile.
Haley laughed. "I don't know," Haley said, taking her time to answer. After a short pause she answered, "I suppose."
Nathan and Haley at each other for a few moments before laughing for no reason at all. Haley was wearing his varsity jacket. Nathan leaned down and kissed Haley.
"I'll call you tomorrow," Nathan said happily.
"You better."
With that, Haley leaned up on her tip toes and kissed him once more. She smiled at him and went inside. "Good night," she whispered before closing the door.
Part 14:
Haley awoke early the next morning with a bounce in her step. She got into the shower and got out early. It was about ten. She started work at twelve today. Thanks for Karen deciding to open. Haley smiled. She pulled on a pair of jeans and dark blue and light blue stripped sweater. She blow dried her hair and left it down. She pulled on Nathan's Varsity jacket and raced down the steps.
"I got to go to work mom," she said, bursting into the kitchen. She saw her mom and her dad sitting at the kitchen table. They looked like they had been discussing something.important.
'Oh no,' Hales thought. She wasn't sure what this was all about. All she knew is whenever something good happened to her (ie: her date with Nathan) something bad shortly followed.
"Haley can you sit down for a minute?" her mom asked her, and Haley obeyed. She pulled out a chair and slipped into the seat.
Haley looked from her mom to her dad. "What's going on?" she asked. "What's wrong?" she prompted, noticing tears on her moms face.
"Haley, we got a call this morning. We got some bad news," her father announced.
Haley's breath caught in her throat as she waited for the news.
"Your grandmother passed away this morning," her mother broke the news to her.
Tears welled up in Haley's eyes. "What? When? How?"
"This morning when your Aunt Kara went to check on her, she couldn't wake her up. She passed away in her sleep," Hales' mom explained.
Haley was forcing herself not to break down and cry. "So when's the funeral? Are.are we going?"
"It's Wednesday of this week," her father said. "They are flying her up to Tree Hill to bury her where she grew up."
Hale closed her eyes and took a deep breath.
"And until Aunt Kara and Brianna will be staying with us until they can find a place in Tree Hill."
Haley was glad to have her cousin and her aunt around again, but for this reason. She was supposed to go visit her grandmother this Christmas. Her heart felt like it had fallen. Broken to be exact.
"I uh.I have to go to work," Haley announced, standing abruptly. She pushed in her chair and headed for the door.
"You don't have to go to work this morning," her mother told her. "I'm sure Karen would understand."
"No mom, it's ok. I want to. I'll uh see you later."
Haley walked out the front door and let the tears freely fall as she started her walk to Karen's Café.
