Chapter
Nature's Deadly ways
Authors Note:
This chapter is going to revolve around flashbacks. I plead temporary insanity while writing this; after all it's going to be confusing. It should answer any thoughts in your mind of the past and maybe a little more. Hope you enjoy it and please review.

"Remember when Tim laughed so hard that he farted loudly?" Nathan laughed and Haley exaggerated, throwing her hands up in effect. "At a wedding!"
Nathan's stomach hurt, he was laughing so hard. "You might want to stop, speaking of deadly ways." He chuckled, "I feel my own combinations of natures deadly ways, making it's way through my body."
Haley scrunched up her nose and smiled, slapping his arm. "Some good times." A sigh.
He gave a nod and looked in her eyes; suddenly remembering how fond he was of them. "Your still beautiful." He spit out, a playful grin creeping over his lips.
"And your still." She laughed, looking for the word. "Um? You?"
"Why thank you Ms James, you're very intuitive." He said in mock professor. "Remember Professor Liquorish?"
"He spit when he talked." Haley chuckled, nodding in response.
Nathan smiled, "He caught us making out in the tutorial room."
Haley grinned and pointed her finger at him, a scowl crossing her features. "Your fault mister."
"Hey," He threw his hands up in defense. "You came on to me, Ms innocent tutor girl."
She frowned, chuckling. "Well if you weren't doing that little pout you always did."
He smiled, "What this one?" He said, a frown and puppy dog eyes overcoming his face.
She sighed, smile almost permanently attached to her face. "Yeah, that one," she grinned, "You better stop, wouldn't want me jumping on you Nathan Scott."
He sighed, "I don't know Haley James, that doesn't sound like such a bad punishment."
They chuckled, which as always ended in awkward silence.
"I wonder when they'll get back." Nathan disturbed the silence.
"I know." Haley arched her eyebrow, lips curving into a frown. "They've been gone for a while."
" We should have never let Peyton Brooke and Luke go do something together." He chuckled and shrugged. "Especially when it evolves asking around to see what's happening with the threat. It's even worse now, since the power went out and all." He sighed, looking over to the candles that dimly lit the room and chuckled. "They probably got stuck in an elevator."
* * * * * * * * * * * * * *
"Explain to me again how we managed to get stuck --," Peyton frowned, aggravation making its way through her body, "In an elevator?"
Lucas shrugged, he was done with trying to pry open the doors, he sighed and slid down to the floor. "I hope Brooke is alright."
Peyton bit her lip and fell beside him against the cold elevator floor. "I hope so too." She pushed her falling curls behind her ears. "It's weird how she just disappeared."
Lucas arched his eyebrow, "It is." He flipped his cell phone open and sighed again, still no signal. "What's the point of a fucking cell phone, when it cant be used in emergency?"
"Well, the power is off. I wonder if there might be a problem with cities connection." She shrugged. "How long do you think we'll be stuck in here?"
"Until someone actually cares."
"Damn that long." She sighed, crossing her arms to her chest. "I'm hungry."
"You just ate." He shook his head, reaching in his pocket and handing her a Twinkie.
"Do you always carry Twinkies around?" She smiled, taking of the seal and biting into it.
He ignored her question, closing his eyes. "I'm tired," he muttered.
She looked at him, chuckled and turned to face him. "Here." She beckoned, patting the floor. "Lay your head on me."
He thought for a moment and sighed, wearily sliding across the floor, closer to Peyton. "Only for a little." She smiled; he relaxed into her form and closed his eyes. "You better not drop Twinkie crumbs on me missy."
She grinned at his sleeping form, slowly bringing her hand to his face and touching it lightly. It's funny how things change.

After the annoyingly long ceremony and Lucas answering softly, Happiness, commitment lay in his eyes, also a little bit of fear. The priest turned to Peyton.
'Peyton Sawyer, do you take Lucas to be your husband?"
The rest of the words fell short, or at least from Peyton's current state of mind. She squinted and looked around, gasping at the vast amount of people that showed up for the big day. Her wedding. She was so young, only almost twenty and wanting to get married? Did she really want this? She looked at Lucas and realized he was asking her a question or telling her something. Oh yeah. She was supposed to be answering the priest. She searched deep in her husband-to-be-s eyes, after taking a quick glance at the priest; saw confusion and sadness. She panicked, biting her lip and running out of the church. Running out on her groom.

"It's so dark." Brooke chuckled, "And cold."
The tall, dark and handsome guy that she was currently locked inside a room with shrugged, sliding out of his jacket and handing it to Brooke. "Here take my coat."
"Charmer." She studied him sexily, smile caught on her lips.
He smiled, "I can't believe we walked into a facility room."
"I know." She laughed, "Didn't you say this was the exit?"
He shrugged, chuckling. "I'm sorry. It is dark."
"No problem, but hey for as long as were locked in here you have to put up with me." She shrugged, "I guess that's enough pay back."
A smiled played on his lips, while he shook his head and laughed. "Payback? More like thank you god!" He mocked prayed, "its about damn time you sent me an angel."
She laughed, raised and eyebrow and said, "Cute? Who taught you that line?"
"A friend." He grinned.

"Haley you lost the baby." The words echoed to her, first she lost of Nathan and now their child. The one that had just found her heart and wasn't even fully developed within her stomach. She hadn't really lost Nathan, not yet at least, but she could feel him drifting away.
"How?" The tears swelled up in her eyes.
The doctor sighed, placing a hand on her shoulder. "Large amounts of stress."
* * *
Lucas sighed, looking at his brother "Nathan she lost the baby."
He looked at his brother, for a sign of a prank, to have Lucas confirm that he was loosing sanity. Unfortunately, found no such comfort, Lucas's eyes were apologetic and distressed. "W-what?" The eldest brother remained silent and Nathan tried catching his eyes. "Is-," He paused. "Is she okay?"
"Are you okay?" He ran his hair through his rigid hair, a sigh leaving his mouth. "She's fine. As fine as a soon to be mother could be, after hearing that her baby was killed due to stress." The sarcasm wasn't supposed to be there, but it flowed from Lucas's tongue. "Man, I'm sorry." He looked at his brother, who frowned, tears fighting in his eyes. "I know you didn't want this to happen."
"She must think I'm happy," was all Nathan could say, single tear rolling down his cheek.
[Memory over] * * * * *
"This is kind of weird." Nathan looked away, avoiding smiling eyes. "Us." He looked at their position, they lay on his bed, talking and reminiscing of past times. "Awkward."
Haley sighed in relief, "I was hoping you would say that."
"I missed you over the years." He blubbered the words out and felt stupid for not catching himself.
A light crimson rose on her cheeks, "I would have thought you would be happy to get away from me." She chuckled softly, bringing her hand to her face and leaning on her elbow.
"Listen Haley--," Nathan started, turning in the bed and facing her.
"No." Haley cut it, small smile forced on her lips. "I know what you're going to say and how about we don't go there? The past is the past; leave it at that. I mean I know that we didn't get to talk about a lot of things, but if we were meant to talk about it, then it would have happened and it didn't."
"Maybe we just needed time." He shifted uncomfortably, avoiding her gaze. "Maybe now it's time to talk about it."
The words that came out of Nathan's mouth surprised Haley and she had to check him over once more, Making sure that it was him, not some freak look alike.
"It's been years Nathan."
"Yes but--,"
"So long."
He chuckled dryly, "That makes it sound easier now. Doesn't it?"
She shrugged; what the hell could it hurt? "I guess it does."
