Chapter Twenty-
The news of Nathan and Haley's engagement at prom was the biggest thing ever in Tree Hill High School. But to their friends it was only a matter of time before the big question would be asked. Haley loved the fact that not only would she be with Nathan after high school and so did Nathan. The week was deffinantly the biggest week because the Ravens were entering the second round of the playoffs with Nathan Scott back on the team. Other teams had no idea what would hit them when they would they would him return.
"Hey" Haley said as to Nathan as she came in the gym to find him working out
"Hey you" Nathan smiled
"I had some idea that you would be here" Haley said
"This is the big week, Haley" Nathan said
"I know" Haley said
"This could determine my future, our future" Nathan said
"Just on one game, Nathan" Haley asked
"That's usually how it goes" Nathan said
"I don't believe that" Haley said
"Basketball is like my only ticket to college" Nathan said
"You just have to have faith in yourself" Haley said
"Sometimes that's a little harder" Nathan said
"Well what has your dad said about it" Haley asked
"My dad. What does he have to do with this" Nathan asked
"Believe it or not Nathan he does love you" Haley said
"My dad is not exactly the person your run to for help" Nathan said
"But when you think about it, your in his shoes" Haley said
"That's the last place I want to be" Nathan said
"I figured you would say that" Haley laughed
"I don't get what your trying to point out" Nathan asked as he passed the ball to her
"Not to long ago he was in your shoes probably so I'm saying don't repeat what he didn't do, repeat what he did do and just run with it" Haley said
"We never really had a relationship. I mean I look at Lucas and him now and just think why couldn't we be like that" Nathan said
"You still can" Haley said
"No, we can't. Because apart of me still blames him for who I am today" Nathan said
"Well don't blame it entirely on him because I kind to like the way you are" Haley said
"You should" Nathan laughed as he lightly kissed her
"Talk to him" Haley said before she kissed him on the cheek then left him to wonder about what she said
Brooke and Peyton were tearing up the malls east from west splurging for ideas for Haley's wedding. They were excited for their friend that they soon started to act like they were the brides in this situation.
"I can't believe she is getting married" Brooke laughed
"This is like a fairy tale ending to the long dramatic season" Peyton said
"Looking at all these dresses just makes you wonder about your own wedding day" Brooke said
"Yeah, I mean I hope that it would be here in Tree Hill" Peyton said
"I would have mine in New York" Brooke said
"Haley is going to make a beautiful bride" Peyton said
"I know. Nathan and her have been through a lot" Brooke realized
"And still they feel the way they do about each other" Peyton said
"Makes me wonder about Lucas" Brooke said
"How so" Peyton asked
"I mean we had our thing and its over. But there was a time where I thought we would be like them" Brooke said
"It took time for their relationship to get to where it is" Peyton said
"I know" Brooke said
"Come on lets go look for shoes" Peyton said
Nathan walked through the doors of his father study at the beach house to find him sitting behind a desk saling and doing paper work like it was second nature to him. Nathan was still quite worried that at this moment he would finally reveal to his father what he had been feeling for so long.
"Hey Nathan" Dan said
"Working" Nathan asked
"Oh, no. I have some time" Dan said taking off his earplug
"I just wanted to talk to you" Nathan said
"Your knee is getting better" Dan said
"Its back to normal but still aches a little" Nathan said
"Working hard will do it good" Dan said
"I'm sure it will" Nathan said
"So the big one is tomorrow" Dan said
"Yeah, the game is" Nathan said
"You should put up big numbers against this team" Dan said
"Yeah" Nathan said
"I looked into the records on this team and they are..." Dan went on before Nathan stopped him
"Stop it" Nathan yelled
"Is everything all right" Dan said
"I don't want to talk about basketball" Nathan said
"Then what do you want to talk about" Dan asked
"I want to talk about why you made my life a living hell when mom left you" Nathan said
"I did what was best for you" Dan said
"You did what you thought was best for me but in the long run made me feel like shit" Nathan said
"I was only trying to push you to want to score and work" Dan said
"I tried my hardest for you to just say good job son or played one hell of game. But I never got that from you" Nathan said
"Well here. Good games son" Dan yelled
"Save it because obvisously you don't care" Nathan said
"I helped you get to the status your at today" Dan said
"No, I did that on my own. My wife will be happy and I will be a good father to my kids" Nathan said
"Wife, what wife" Dan asked
"I'm marrying Haley James, dad" Nathan said
"When" Dan asked
"We're going to get married a month after graduation" Nathan said
"Way to throw your life away" Dan said
"No, she's the best thing in my life" Nathan yelled
"So I'm to blame. What about your mother" Dan said
"What about mom" Nathan asked
"You'd be surprised by how much she has kept from you" Dan said
"What are you talking about" Nathan asked
"You have a lot to learn kid" Dan said
"What the hell are you talking about" Nathan yelled
"Ask her about Jamie" Dan said
"Who the hell his Jamie" Nathan asked
"Your sister" Dan said
