Haley burst into the office building causing all sorts of pandemonium around her. After quickly stopping by her apartment to greet Peyton and Brooke and drop off her bags, she immediately rushed to the office, in hopes that she wasn't about to be fired. Ignoring everyone's questions around her Haley managed to get into her boss' office where he was calmly waiting for her.

"Haley! I wasn't expecting you so soon. Come in, take a seat. We need to discuss what best plan of action to take from here. And have I told you congratulations? I don't think I have." His tirade ended there and Haley wearily took a seat in front of his desk.

"Sir?" Haley began confused by his different reactions. "I don't really underst–"

"Oh, yes, the initial shock of it. Incredibly sorry for lashing out at you like that." He paused momentarily to take a breath. "It is quite unpredictable though. And you really should have told us sooner. Not that anyone would have given it away. Now for the plan, I arranged for Nathan to have an interview with Entertainment Tonight later today. It's best to react quickly."

Haley almost rolled her eyes at him, as if she didn't know how to handle this kind of situation. Just then her cell phone rang and her hand immediately reached for it. "It's Nathan," she said, smiling softly and Mr. Jameson nodded for her to take the call. "Hey, I'm at work right now. Is everything all right?"

"Yeah, yeah. Brooke called me for you but I just wanted to make sure that you were okay." Nathan was sitting in his hotel room yet another tabloid in hand that one of the guys had spotted while out doing something.

"I'm fine, but you should know that you have an interview tonight. To clear things up. Mr. J will call you later with the details." Finally Haley added since Mr. Jameson kept making wild gestures for her to tell him.

"Um...about that," he guiltily began wincing a bit. "After you left, well, we had kind of drawn a crowd, and I kind of admitted the truth." She didn't respond and he was worried that she was mad at him. "Haley? Are you there?" Nathan heard some muffled talking and figured that she was just telling Jameson what he had done.

"Hey, Nate? Don't worry about it." Even a couple states over she could sense his hesitancy to accept her reassurance. "And I'm sure. I've got to go so just have fun with your interview. I'll see you tonight on TV. Love you."

"Love you, too," he replied and heard some fumbling around before the dial tone. Nathan leaned back onto his bed for a moment, grateful for the way things seemed to be going. a second after he closed his eyes he realized that he was going to have to tell his coach about the interview and sprinted for the door.

"Coach!" he yelled pounding on the door. The even more disgruntled coach opened the door and glared at Nathan. "I have to do an interview tonight." The coach nodded and slammed the door in Nathan's face. "Thanks again, Coach," he added to the closed door.

"I can't believe this," Peyton said as she handed each of the girls a drink. They were sprawled out in Haley's living room waiting for ET to come on. "Nathan's first interview and you're the topic of discussion. Girl, you've got him whipped."

Haley almost spit out her drink at the suggestion. Brooke laughed and decided to input, "I have to agree with her there. You know, you're probably the only woman who controls everything her man says and does. After all, you are his publicist."

She was about to respond but the show came back from commercials and opened with a clip of Nathan slam dunking. "And here we have, Nathan Scott. One of the hottest basketball players on the market today and the very new subject of a tried and true celebrity scandal."

"Before we jump straight to the burning question that I'm sure every single girl in America wants to know, let's get your take on this. How does it feel to finally be in the spotlight? Plenty of NBA stars have made their own debut into the world of scandal but none made quite the same impact you have." The camera finally flashed to a shot of Nathan, sitting on the other side ever so cockily though he was completely nervous.

"Let's just say...of all things for the media to get wrong, who I am marrying was the least expected. But, honestly, I was just shocked that people would make assumptions like that. It sounds really naive but for a while I've been living the perfect life. A great career, friends that I would do anything for, and most importantly the woman that I love. How it all came crashing down on me was really a shocker." Brooke just had to 'aw' at some parts of his mini speech while Peyton nudged Haley lightly.

"Okay, that was really sweet. And kind of makes my other questions useless. But what do you have to say about Peyton Sawyer? Lots of people were convinced that she was your fiancé."

Nathan shifted uncomfortably. "Well, Peyton's a really good friend of mine...and of my fiance's. We went to high school together and we did date for a little bit. But I can honestly say that I wasn't expecting her to be the girl, she's like a sister to me now. I just feel really horrible about the problems this might have caused between herself and her own fiancé."

"Hey, he got it right!" Haley exclaimed at the TV, causing Brooke and Peyton to look at her confused. "His grammar. He finally got it right."

"Wow, you're just like a giant teddy bear. Is there anything else you wanted to say before we get to the real reason why you're here?"

"I want to thank my coach for his great advice, both on and off the court. And I love you, mom," Nathan threw in a small smirk tugging at his lips.

"How could anyone make up rumors about you? Now it's time for the burning question. Who is your fiancé? Will America recognize her?"

"They should since she's such an amazing person, but for now I'd have to say 'no'. I am happily and proudly engaged to a one Haley James. She's my high school sweetheart and I wouldn't have it any other way. I love her with all my heart." As he was finishing up Nathan had the hugest smile on his face, having finally revealed the news to everyone.

"Okay now that was amazing. How come he didn't act like that when we were going out? I totally wouldn't have let you around him," Peyton commented after a moment of jaw dropped silence from the girls, Brooke included.

"Oh my god, are you tearing up?" Haley exclaimed as Brooke turned away grabbing a tissue. "Is Brooke Davis getting emotional?"

Brooke spun around and glared. "When hell freezes over!"

"Hell is frozen over. Well, at least according to the book on it," Haley responded, departing some of her random knowledge.

"Well, screw you Haley James. Too smart for us commoners any ways," Brooke yelled before leaving the room. Peyton and Haley looked at each other confused until Brooke popped her head back in and said, "Just kidding."
