Chapter 3
Haley had noone to talk to about what she should do with Nathan's feelings for her. Obviously if she went to Lucas he would get angry cause Nathan's his worst enemy. She couldn't go to Peyton cause that would be just wrong. She thought about going to Brooke, but she would spread it all though school.
'I guess I got to deal with this by myself.' Haley says to herself walking over to Nathan's house.
Caren answers it.
"Hey is Nathan home?"
"No he's down at the basketball court practicing for his game tomorrow."
"Oh ok thanks."
"Your welcome."
Haley walks down to the court and watches Nathan from a tree nearby. The same tree she use to watch him and Lucas battle each other on everyday. They actually enjoyed each other's company. She just doesn't understand how one man has enough power to drive two brothers so far away from each other. She watches him and sees how he strives to be a really good player for his dad and how he tries to be better than him.
"Hey." Haley says walking over to him slowly.
"Hey." Nathan says shooting again and making it.
"Your really good."
"Thanks."
"Yeah......" Long silence. "Look Nathan I've been thinking alot about what you said to me last night."
"Oh really and what you come up with?" Nathan says grabbing the ball and holding it.
"I like you to."
"It's just Peyton trusted you so much to be there for her when her mom died and when Lucas left her. She was so heartbroken and then you cheat on her. How do I know that you won't do the same thing to me?"
"Haley I need you to let me prove myself. To prove to you and Peyton that I have changed."
"Nathan I liked you before you and Peyton ever thought about dating, but I just wanted to see if you were good enough for me. And I thought you were. Up until now."
"Haley don't do this to me."
"Don't do what Nathan? Don't turn you down? Unlike some people I don't have a problem doing that."
"What's that suppose to mean."
"You really just don't get it do you Nathan."
"No actually I don't."
"If you really wanna prove me and Peyton wrong that your not a jerk then do it with some other girl."
"Well Haley if that's the way you want it then I guess I gotta be ok with it."
He starts to walk away, but then he turns back around.
"You know what I finally open up my heart and tell someone how I truly feel about them and I get burned. That's pretty sad Haley."
"No what's sad is I come down here to tell you I like you to and it ends in a big argument."
"Are you serious? You came down here to tell me that?" Nathan says with a half smile.
"Yes, but Nathan if we argue like this now then how do you know it's going to work?"
"Cause I have faith in us. Don't you want us to be together?" Nathan says sliding his arms around her waist.
"Yes, but what about Peyton?"
"We will just wait a while to tell her." Nathan says leaning down and kissing her.
Nathan walks Haley home.
She goes to her room changes into her pajamas adn gets online.

THRavens03: Well when I came back it wasn't like everyone ran up to me and gave me a hug. Def. Peyton she didn't smile or anything when she saw me.
TreeHillGirl06: Yeah I know, but she really did miss you and she tried so hard to find someone to refill your spot that you left in her heart, but it didn't work. She ended up getting hurt again.

TreeHillGirl06: Your such a sweetheart Lucas. You always were.
THRavens03: I try to be as sweet as I can.
TreeHillGirl06: I think Caren did a great job raising you.
THRavens03: haha yeah. I think Peyton is starting to forgive me. We're not together again yet, but I think we will be soon.
TreeHillGirl06: That's cool congrats.
THRavens03: Well I got a game tomorrow so I gotta get to bed. Night
TreeHillGirl06: Night.
Haley decides to get off to and goes to bed.
The next day Haley decides to go with Peyton to the game. Peyton dropped out of the cheerleading squad when Lucas left, because she said she couldn't cheer for a team that lost the best player. Plus she said she would do more crying than cheering. When Lucas came back Brooke let her rejoin so she did.
They walk into the gym and Peyton goes to the locker room to change into her cheerleading uniform and Haley walks over to Nathan who was on the bottom bleacher by himself and Lucas was on the other side of it while the other ones were out on the court practicing.
"Shouldn't you and Lucas be out there?"
"No, Whitey doesn't want us to throw out our arms, because tonight me and Lucas is the one playing most of the plays."
"Oh cool, can't wait to watch them."
Nathan smiles at her.
"Now don't be trying to show off cause I'm here."
"Can't help it."
Lucas keeps looking over there and he sees Nathan put his arm around her. Peyton walks out of the locker room and walks over to Lucas.
"It feels so weird to be in a uniform again."
"I bet. Look over at Haley and Nathan."
Peyton turns her head and sees Nathan with his arm around her waist and Haley's arms around his neck.
"OMG Lucas."
"Yeah Tim told me he liked her, but I would hope that she doesn't like him."
"Yeah I know."
"Lucas and Nathan come on. Here comes the people." Whitey yells as people pile on the bleachers.
"Wait for me after the game to take a shower and get changed and I will give you a ride home."
"Ok great."
Haley walk up the bleachers to Caren and watches her future boyfriend that she has finally fallen head over heels for play the game. Everytime he would make a shot he would look at her and smile.
After the game Nathan runs straight into the locker room. Peyton walks over to her.
"Haley you need me to take you home?"
"No I got a ride."
"Nathan."
"What?"
"Let me guess Nathan's taking to you home."
"No." Haley said trying her best to lie though it.
"Don't be a backstabber Haley." Peyton says walking away.
Haley stands there for a minute confused on what she was talking about.
She sits back down and waits for Nathan to come out. He was finally the last one. He walks out sits his bags down and gets his wallet out. Haley runs over to him.
"Whatcha doin' babe?"
"Looking for a ticket I thought I lost."
"Oh."
He sticks in back in his back pocket. Haley pushes him against the wall and kisses him.
They makeout for like a minute.
"Let's go back to my place." Nathan says.
"Ok." Haley says with a smile.
Haley had noone to talk to about what she should do with Nathan's feelings for her. Obviously if she went to Lucas he would get angry cause Nathan's his worst enemy. She couldn't go to Peyton cause that would be just wrong. She thought about going to Brooke, but she would spread it all though school.
