Chapter Twelve-
Nathan lay in bed in his hospital room hoping to get one ounce of sleep seeing as the patient next door kept up a lot of ruckus. Closing his eyes getting about one second of shut eye until Haley came busting through.
"Wake Up" Haley said as she walked over to the curtains
"Oh, God. What are you doing here" Nathan asked
"I'm here to help you" Haley said
"I don't need your help" Nathan said flopping the pillow over his face
"You have said that quite often and I very often ignore you" Haley said
"Haley, I don't want to see you. I don't want to hear your name. I don't want to talk with you. I don't want anything to do with you, so just leave me alone" Nathan yelled
"I know you don't and for some reason I understand why but I can't let you be alone" Haley said
"Why not" Nathan asked
"I all ready told you" Haley said
"Look, it is sweet that you want to do this stuff for me but I don't need you anymore" Nathan said
"Do you remember when you took me snowboarding" Haley asked
"Do I have to say yes" Nathan asked
"I remember how sweet you were. No matter how many times I fell you stayed by my side, all though you were laughing, but you stayed by my side" Haley said
"Oh, that took me down memory lane. Can you please go now" Nathan said
"Look here you jackass, I am staying whether you like it or not. So get your ass out of bed and lets go" Haley demanded as she caught Nathan off guard.
Down at the river court Jake and Lucas were playing one on one trying to endure a good work out before the season would begin for the team. All they had to worry about is how they would do without Nathan.
"I don't know what to tell you man but not having twenty three is going to kill us" Jake said
"Tell me about it. But if we work hard we could at least manage" Lucas said as he shot a air ball
"Yeah, if all our shots were like that then we would be in good shape" Jake said as they walked over to the bench
"Dan isn't exactly taking this so lightly" Lucas said
"That's his son" Jake said "If that were to happen in Jenny I would act somewhat the same" he said
"But he only visited him once in the hospital" Lucas said
"Its hard to see his son like that" Dan said
"I just don't understand the guy" Lucas said
"Maybe that's why your mom made you go stay with him" Jake said "Maybe so you guys can finally spend quality time together" he said
"Yeah, but that kind of time is just having us argue more" Lucas said
"It will get better believe me" Jake said
"Whatever" Lucas said
"How is Haley holding up" Jake asked
"You mean with Nathan" Lucas asked
"Yeah" Jake said
"I think she is taking this harder than anyone. She thinks the reason he is hurt is because of her" Lucas said
"That's not true" Jake said
"Tell me about it" Lucas said
"Do you ever think...nevermind" Jake said
"What. Tell me" Lucas asked
"I think that maybe this whole deal might help the two of them" Jake said
"How so" Lucas asked
"Haley is going to be there for him, you and I both know that. This will force them to be together" Jake said
"Meaning they will finally talk" Lucas said
"This will be good for all of us" Jake said
"How" Lucas asked
"Because then we don't have to worry about the Haley and Nathan drama anymore" Jake said
"Either they will work it out and be together or just be friends for once and for all" Lucas said
Haley had finally reached the destination that she planned for her and Nathan to be. Rolling him along the sidewalk of the park where they could be at the basketball courts to see the kids play.
"So we came here to look suspicious of stalking kids" Nathan asked
"No, I came here to show you something" Haley said
"I see" Nathan said trying to gain control of his wheelchair
"I wanted to show you the game, Nathan" Haley said
"I know the game. I don't need you to show me" Nathan yelled
"Do you really" Haley said
"I should seeing as I play sports rather than you" Nathan said
"Then why are you so eager to just throw it away" Haley asked
"You have no idea what your talking about" Nathan said
"You don't go to physical therapy to better yourself instead you just mope around" Haley said
"I don't need therapy" Nathan yelled
"Your right you don't but it goes hand in hand. If you don't you lose something far greater than that. You lose your love for the game" Haley said
"You think this is easy for me" Nathan asked
"No, I don't" Haley said
"I was at my prime. I was going to get places, but now I have to depend on this stupid chair to get me places" Nathan said
"You can get better" Haley said
"No, I can't. You heard what the doctor said" Nathan said
"I did but I know you Nathan. People told me that you were a bad person but I saw past that when it came to you. You turned out to be the guy I will forever love. My first time, was with you. Learning to snowboard, with you. Getting wasted, with you" Haley said
"I know what your doing" Nathan said
"I just want to help you get back to the person you use to be" Haley said "And if I become the most annoying person to you then so be it" she said before she began to walk away
"Haley, wait" Nathan asked
"What" Haley asked
"I do need you. I will always need you" Nathan said
"Like I have said before. I will be there for you" Haley said
"I know that now. So how about it. You and me again" Nathan asked as he held his hand out to her
"Yeah, I like the sounds of that" Haley said
Joey walked into the Karen's café hoping to run into his girlfriend who he had rarely even seen now in the past two weeks. When he came in he had noticed Amanda sitting at the table alone so he went to go join her.
"Amanda, hey" Joey said sitting down
"Hey Joey. What are you doing here" Amanda asked
"I just came by to see if someone was here. But since you're here" Joey said
"Oh, boy. You have question now" Amanda asked
"Look I don't want to hound you on anything but why the hell are you not spending your time with Nathan" Joey asked
"I just can't" Amanda said
"I don't care why you can't but if you don't start then you will lose him" Joey said
"To who" Amanda asked
"My girlfriend. I would like it if they were just friends but they will never be just friends. They will always love each other unless we do something" Joey said before he left
