Chapter Eighteen-
Haley was ready for the night of her life and was ready to reveal what she really wanted out this moment in her life. She knew that tonight could possibly change everything in her life for some reason but she knew even good or bad things would go along smoothly. Joey arrived at her house looking finer than she had ever seen him, especially since he was in a suit which she never saw that much when they were dating.
"Hey" Joey said shyly as he slipped the flower onto her hand
"You look handsome like always" Haley smiled
"It is the prom" Joey said
"Of course" Haley said
"Are you ready to go" Joey asked
"Yes" Haley said as he lead the way to the limo. When they had gotten into the limo it took awhile for either one of them to speak up and talk.
"So how have you been" Joey asked
"Doing good. A little nervous but good" Haley said
"Why are you nervous" Joey asked
"This is my first prom" Haley said
"Don't worry its like a dancing party" Joey said
"Except everyone remembers this party" Haley said
"And the after party" Joey said
"Don't remind me" Haley laughed
"Look I'm really glad that I'm going with you on my arm" Joey said
"Me too" Haley said
"I hope that tonight will be a fresh start for a relationship between us" Joey smiled sincerely
"We'll see" Haley said
Nathan had paced his apartment trying to survive the prom hours that were going on. He knew at this very moment Haley was off with Joey probably being wisked under the moonlight if it were up to Joey. Joey took any chance to stick it to Nathan but going after Haley was his all time low. Whose to say that that's how it was with Lucas and Nathan but it was different. Nathan actually fell in love with the girl and dated her for two years. During the pacing of the apartment Deb had managed to walk in on her son during his actions.
"Aren't you suppose to be at the prom" Deb asked
"I didn't want to go" Nathan said "What are you doing" he asked
"I usually come in and clean your place up a bit" Deb said
"No need. I practically wore out the four o nine bottle" Nathan said flopping on the sofa
"So where is Haley" Deb asked
"She went to the prom" Nathan said
"Oh, that's right you two broke up" Deb said
"Actually we're back together" Nathan said
"Then why is she there and you here. Did you two get into a fight" Deb asked
"No" Nathan said
"Then explain this to me" Deb asked
"I told her to go with her ex to see if it is really over between them" Nathan said
"And that's why your pacing the floor" Deb laughed
"Yeah, and you want to know the funny thing is that I can't get what Lucas said off my mind" Nathan said
"What did he say" Deb asked
"This is a picture perfect moment" Brooke laughed. The girls were all out on the dance floor dancing to every song that came on the speaker. Lucas and Jake were truly enjoying how the girls were getting loose on the floor because it was rare that they did have a good time at school. Joey and Haley were deffinantly acting more like a couple causing people to talk.
"You wanna sit this one out" Joey asked
"Sure. Lets go to the balcony" Haley said leading the way
"Its beautiful out here" Joey said looking at the scenery
"Its hard to believe that this is Tree Hill sometimes" Haley smiled
"We have our moments" Joey said
"Yeah, we do" Haley laughed
"You know I still can't get over you" Joey said
"You can't" Haley asked
"If it was up to me I would have never let you go" Joey said
"Why did you" Haley asked
"Because I could see Nathan was what you were concerned about at the time" Joey said
"You mean when he was injured" Haley said
"Especially that time" Joey said
"I just felt that I was obligated to him" Haley said
"I know that now. I should be lucky to have had a girl who would have done that for me" Joey said
"You should have" Haley said
"Its just something that I felt was right at the time" Joey said
"What about now" Haley asked
"It was the dumbest thing I ever did"
"You want to marry her" Deb asked shocked as her son had told her what he was thinking about. Lucas was deffinantly impacting him at that moment.
"I don't know" Nathan said as he pacing had picked up
"Your tearing a hole into your carpet just thinking about her" Deb said
"I know" Nathan said
"Haley James. The girl that made you so soft" Deb laughed
"I remember when I just lived day to day not even caring what I did or said. But with her I have to actually think about what I say and what I do. I find myself sharing thoughts that I normally wouldn't share with anyone whom actually knew me. With any other girl I would have cheated on but I never did on Haley. So yes, this Haley James has made the use to be rude, arrogant, Nathan Scott a better person" Nathan rambeled
"You two have been through a lot" Deb asked
"We have" Nathan said
"Why did you two break up in the first place" Deb asked
"I give you our king and queen of Tree Hill High 2005" the girl said as Haley and Joey stood proudly on the stage with there crowns upon their heads like natural leaders. Grabbing her hand and leading her to the dance floor, Haley had felt something that she never felt that whole night.
"Who would have thought" Joey whispered
"Yeah" Haley said as she rested her head on his shoulder
"This is so right" Joey said looking her in the eyes
"Yeah" Haley said losing eye contact with him
"It's a good thing Nathan didn't show up" Jake whispered to Peyton who was comfortably in his arms watching the king and queen share their dance
"Yeah" Peyton smiled
"I think he would have punched Joey by now" Jake said looking onto the floor not so pleased
"Would you stop being so overprotective" Peyton laughed
"I'm not its just that that's Nathans' girl" Jake said
"You say it as if that she was his property" Peyton said
"She isn't but still" Jake said
"Good save because you would have been in the dog house if you would have said otherwise" Peyton said
"I know which is why I will shut up now" Jake said as the noise of dishes being knocked over had been heard from the kitchen. Nathan came bursting through the doors of the kitchen causing the biggest scene ever. Everyone just looked at him seeing how drenched he was.
"Nathan, what are you doing here" Haley asked pulling away from Joey
"I have to tell you something" Nathan said out of breathe
"Hold up. We're on a boat about a couple feet away from the docks how did you manage to get here" Joey asked
"I so don't like you" Nathan said finally catching his breath
"How did you" Brooke asked
"I swam" Nathan said
"Your crazy" Joey laughed
"I am. I think we all know that. But Haley I have to tell you something very important" Nathan said
"What is it. Seeing as you swam to tell me this" Haley said
"I know that I could never be the guy you want me to be or I hate to say like Joey. I'm a complicated person and you dealt with me even when most people left. I have never been in a serious relationship like the one we have. You're the one thing I need, and want. I've never experienced that in my life but I love to want you and need you" Nathan said
"So what are you trying to say" Haley asked as he walked closer to her
"I'm trying to say what I should have said a year ago. Haley James will you marry me ?"
