Chapter 2 "Party Time"

The doorbell rang at the Scott house and Nathan threw on his varsity jacket and headed to the door. He answered it to see Tim with a six pack of bears dangling it at the door. Nathan looked behind him to make sure no one saw then pushed the door closed behind him.

"Are you crazy man, all I need is my mom hassling me right now, take the alcohol to the car. I have to tell my dad I'm going out...Then we can go pick up Haley." Nathan noticed Tim unusual expression towards the mentioning of Haley name but ignored it. He went back in and his dad was right at the door as if waiting for him.

"I'll see you dad...I'm going to a party with Tim and Haley" As Nathan started to walk off Dan stopped him.

"Haley? Now son you are with Haley for the reasons I believe you are right" Dan face started to tighten and Nathan began to boil. He didn't like letting his dad control his life...he had all the anger inside him to win...but when it came down to it he always lost.

"What do you think Dad" Nathan smugly said getting a very satisfied expression from his dad. Nathan walked over to the car and they drove to pick up Haley which was sitting on the steps of her porch waiting for him. She smiled at the sight of his car and hopped in.

When they arrived at the party it seemed to have already been going on for hours. Before they went up to the door Nathan held Haley back so he could tell her something.

"Remember what I said? we can leave whenever you want" Nathan said waiting for the approval nod. She gave it to him, he still looked unsure still but entered the party with his arm around her shoulder. The party was loud, music banging and more than half the people Haley had never talked to....Their was only about 15 to 20 people there, most in couples... some not. But she made herself blend in. Half the night she spent on the couch with Nathan listening to everyone share their crazy drunken tales. Nathan had a few beers, so now he was kind of tipsy. Haley avoided alcohol all night before getting put in the spotlight to drink. The same cheer leader from lunch which Haley found out name was Stacy had decided to offer Haley a drink.

"Haley you look kind of...Dry over there, why don't you just take a little" Stacey eyes zoomed in on Haley as if sending her messages through her eyes. Nathan looked over at Haley as well as everyone else.

"No thanks" Haley said while brushing her hair behind her ear avoiding anymore eye contact.

"Hey Nathan why'd you bring her to the party....she's obviously not ready to hang" Stacy went gladly pointed out. Nathan gave Haley a sympathetic look and picked up a cup of beer. He leaned towards Haley ear to talk..

"Here just take a little bit, it won't hurt. Stacy is a btch, just shut her up" Nathan pushed the cup more into Haley hand... Haley looked around at the crowd who was obviously waiting and drunk the cup of bear... Stacy let out a devious smirk and turned back to her friends. Haley eyes squinted a little because of the bitter taste. Nathan smiled and the night went on. it was coming to about 11:30pm and one of the guys went over to the light switch and dimmed the lights... also lightening the music...

"You know what time it is...." The guy said joining one of the fellow girls at the party on the couch... Haley looked around nervously and confused...that is all Stacy needed to notice before standing up and walking over to Haley.

"Haley....this is the part when you prove just how much you like Nathan..." Stacy said making everyone make ohhhhh sounds throughout the room. Stacy went back over to her guy and began making out....as well as everyone else at the party. Nathan sat there twirling his fingers...waiting for Haley to say something.

"You want to do this don't you" she asked shyly. Nathan turned to her and began to look at everyone else.

"Not if you don't want to" Nathan took hold of Haley hand. Haley looked over at Stacy who seemed to be looking at her every move while she was making up....which was kind of creepy...Haley looked back at Nathan then started kissing him. Stacy rolled her eyes at the sight of this. Nathan was took by surprise but soon got into it. Nathan began to lean himself back on the couch which lead Haley to be on top. He started to kiss her neck and slipped his hand up her back.....Haley jumped up at the feel of his hand against her skin...

"I want to go" Haley said loud enough to brake the romance in the air. Everyone stopped what they were doing and looked over. Nathan gave her a confused look and then tried to kiss her again but she pushed him off.

"You said I can leave when I want, I want to go!" Haley said...Nathan didn't move... Haley looked at him in disgust and left through the crowd. The people around her started to laugh and as she walked by she could hear Stacy tell her "I hope you know where you belong now" In a snotty tone. It made Haley more upset and sad, she was heated inside and a single tear fell from her left eye as she disappeared out the door. Nathan sat on the couch 5 minutes before deciding to go outside. He walked until he found Haley sitting next to his car with her head down and knees up. He didn't know what to say but he made his way over there.

"Haley"...He said softly enough not to scare her. "I'm sorry...about tonight, about how I acted about how they acted...I, I didn't mean to hurt you." Nathan began to walk closer before kneeling down next to her. She looked up with teary red eyes and began to speak.

"I just want to go home"

"Okay I'm to wasted to drive but I'll call a cab and we can leave I don't want to be here anyway..." Haley stopped him from talking and began to speak

"No...I said that I myself want to go home...(starts to speak lightly) Tell the cab to meet me on the next block." and with that Haley stood up and started walking away leaving Nathan sitting there on the curb. He felt like he was in a bad dream he couldn't escaped as Haley body became less and less visible... He decided to do what she wanted...and called a cab. He watched to make sure she got in the cab safely and then decided to take a walk...leaving the party behind.
