AN: I know that I've made you wait a long time. So here it is. Oh, and for
those who still are confused, I understand. I don't even think my
explanation made any sense. Hehe. So HALEY is pregnant with NATHAN'S child,
but Haley thinks it's LUCAS'S. Lucas hates his brother and so for obvious
reasons he is pretending to be the father. We good? Hehe email me with
questions @ dancerbabe988@yahoo.com
Disclaimer: Naw, don't own nuthin. Still. Lol.
Discription: Haley speaks her mind....FINALLY! How does Nathan react? Will Haley tell him about her pregnancy? And that it's his half-brother's child (It isn't really, but that's what HALEY believes.)
Just for today: by grace
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
The classroom echoed with a dull, bored clapping and Haley's heart began to race. She clutched the paper in her hand, and she waited for Ms. Colmon to call her name. She heard it distantly, and stood.
Holding her head high, and determinedly not looking at Nathan, she walked to the front of the class and stood there before all of the expectant faces. There was a giggling from the back, and Haley could only imagine that they were talking about her growing stomach.
She felt Nathan's eyes boring into her, and she cleared her throat bravely.
"Go on, Ms. James." Ms. Colmon said. Haley's hands shook but her voice was mostly steady as the words poured from her heart.
"The wind is your breath,
tickling my neck,
and whispering words only I can hear . . .
encircling me with strong arms,
blocking out the rest of the world,
making leaves dance magically for me,
and running your invisible fingers
through my hair . . .
and suddenly
you are gone,
leaving the leaves dead,
the noisy world thriving,
and I,
so raw and cold,
without you." Silence rang out and some students looked at her with semi-interest, although most looked bored. Still, it was encouraging that she received the most applause of the afternoon. Nathan caught her eye as she went to sit down, and Haley caught her breath. The honesty reflected there...she averted her eyes and sat down, her heart still pounding. The fact that she pregnant and hadn't told her recent ex-boyfriend made the fact that he had actually looked at her seem both meaningless and full of promise. She couldn't believe that he didn't know by now, her stomach seemed huge to her. Still, she sat down and didn't move a muscle.
After class, Haley hurried out of the classroom and to her locker. Quickly she grabbed her books and was about to slam the door, when she saw a figure approaching that made her freeze. Nathan sidled up to her and leaned against the locker. "Thanks for my poem." He said simply, beautifully. The first words he had said to her in months. The words rushed over her, his familiar scent was overpowering to her, too real to be a dream.
"It-it w-wasn't you. For you." She stumbled. Nathan smiled, seeing through the lie immediately. He took a step closer and cupped Haley's face in his hands.
"I miss you too." He told her sincerely.
But before Haley could say another word, he cut her off with a sweet kiss that sent Haley's mind spinning. Her books fell to the floor, unnoticed as Haley's world came back into focus.
She grinned as they parted, the first real smile she had in months. She reached up for another kiss.
"I'm so sorry, Hales." Nathan started. But Haley held a finger to his lips.
"You think I waited this long for an apology?" She whispered, the sparkling of happy tears in her eyes. He hugged her, enveloping her into the warm surroundings that she had grown so accustomed to.
Haley left for 6th hour with a huge smile on her face that couldn't be broken. That was, until she heard a snide remark from behind her.
"Well, at least we know who the father is," Came Brooke's cool voice, who had obviously been watching her.
Haley hurried off, the smile fading slightly. She hadn't told Nathan about the baby. She couldn't bear to start their relationship up again with that news over his head. It would end before it had begun.
Just let me be for today, Haley thought. I just want to have his love for today.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Haley wasn't the only one who couldn't stop smiling. Nathan entered the locker room, readying himself for practice with almost indecent delight. Haley. Beautiful, smart, lovable Haley.
His again.
The thought made his heart soar. Tim sat down on the bench beside him, taking off his shoes.
"Hey, man."
"Hey Tim."
"What's with all the smiles? You'd think you had just won the lottery or something."
"Naw. Just figured things out with my girl, is all."
"Cool, cool." Tim said, not really listening.
Lucas came from the coach's office with a grim smile on. He fled past them with only a curt nod to Jake, who was sitting a little ways down the bench. Jake nodded.
"Where are you goin, Scott?"
"Doctor's." Said Lucas, grabbing his bag and heading out the door.
"Doctor's?" Said Jake, bewildered. "I wonder what's wrong with him? He's been goin to a lot of appointments lately."
"They're not for him, I don't think." Said a guy named Charlie from the corner with a solemn nod towards the door Lucas had departed from. "Rumor is, he knocked up that smart chick."
Nathan's heart stopped. He stood suddenly. The talking in the locker room stopped.
"What smart chick?" He asked him, his eyes glowing dangerously. Charlie looked frightened.
"Uh...I dunno man, jeez. Some Hannah girl, or something. Brown hair, getting big?"
Nathan stepped up to Charlie, who shrunk with fear.
"Haley? Haley James?"
"Yeah, that's it."
Nathan grabbed his bag and fled from the room without another word, the smile gone from his face.

Much luv!
