Chapter Seventeen-
Nathan Scott was playing the game of his life and him returning was the biggest thing people saw at Tree Hill. Haley was proud to see him back out there playing like he used to and enjoying every moment of it. There were some plays where she wished he wouldn't have to show boat but that's who he was. A guy who loved for people to watch him do what he loved to do. Haley waited for him by his car to congratulate him a terrific game.
"Hey you" Haley said
"What are you still doing here" Nathan asked
"I knew you would still be here" Haley said
"This felt right. I've never felt so alive in my life before" Nathan said
"I saw you tonight. You played like you never have before" Haley said
"Lets pray I have more games like this" Nathan said "Look I wanna talk to you about the prom" he said
"And the argument begins" Haley said
"I trust you" Nathan said
"You do" Haley said
"I love you, Hales. I have faith that I'm the guy you want to be with but I never gave you a chance to find your way back to me" Nathan said
"What are you saying" Haley asked
"I'm saying that I want you to love me because you want to love me" Nathan said
"Your confusing me" Haley said
"I want you to go to the dance with Joey" Nathan said
"But whats the catch" Haley asked
"If you kiss him that night than good, you want to be with him. But at that night you choose to be with me then it was meant" Nathan said
"This is unfair" Haley said
"No its just what the heart wants" Nathan said before he walked past her
"And what if I don't choose" Haley said
"Then its up to you" Nathan said before he go into the car
"Scott why do you always have complicate things" Haley said before he drove off
Nathan had met his brother at the café for breakfast so they could spend a little time with each other before the big game. Eating in complete and utter silence for a couple of seconds before Lucas broke.
"So your scared, huh" Lucas said
"Of what" Nathan asked
"That you might lose Haley" Lucas said
"I'm not worried" Nathan said
"Who knows, she might have a thing for Joey" Lucas said
"That's not funny" Nathan said seriously
"Just admit" Lucas said
"All right I am terrified that I might lose her for good" Nathan said
"You know there is possibly one thing you could do to get her" Lucas said
"Whats that" Nathan asked
"Marry the girl" Lucas said
"What" Nathan said surprised
"That's all she wanted to begin with" Lucas said
"There is no way that I am going to do that" Nathan said
"You love her. You guys will never be friends, you will never be just another couple, you'll always be high school sweethearts that are made for each other" Lucas said
"But ruining what we might have with marriage is not what I want" Nathan said
"Tell me one thing then" Lucas asked
"What" Nathan asked
"Do you love her" Lucas asked
"Yes" Nathan answered
"You'd do anything for her" Lucas asked
"Yes" Nathan said
"She is the first thing you think about and the last thing before you go to sleep" Lucas asked
"Yes" Nathan said
"Marriage is exactly the next step" Lucas said as he went onto eating
Haley, Brooke, and Peyton stood in the mall shopping for the perfect prom dresses to wear on the big night of all events in their lifetime. Haley confused on the whole matter with Nathan and her at that moment was not in the right state of mind.
"Whats wrong" Peyton asked
"Nathan" Haley said flopping onto Brooke who was sitting in a chair
"What did he do this time" Brooke asked
"He wants me to go with Joey" Haley said
"Oh, he's playing the I don't care card" Peyton said
"No, he was dead serious. He even said it would be a test for our relationship" Haley said
"What type of test" Brooke asked
"Who I want to be with" Haley said
"So is he like purposely trying to get rid of you" Brooke asked
"I have no idea but apart of me isn't sure either" Haley said
"Sure of what" Peyton asked
"Of who I really want to be with" Haley said
"Why don't you talk to Joey" Brooke suggested
"And say what" Haley asked
"Tell him how you feel. Better yet, find out how he feels" Brooke said
"What if he still likes me" Haley asked
"Then that's where your heart comes into handy" Peyton said
"Its said easier than done" Haley whined
