Chapter 3
"Peyton what if I'm not ready to get married yet? You know us girls we love to party and mess around with other guys. We like to start drama, but if I get married there won't be any drama."
"Haley your marrying Nathan there is always going to be drama."
"Yeah I guess." Haley laughs. "I just don't want hurt to him you know."
"Yeah I know girl, but it'll all be ok after this is all over with. Your going to get married and realize you made the right decision."
"I hope so." Haley says patting her dress down trying to straighten it all out. "Is my dad here? He said he wasn't going to come, cause he didn't approve. For some reason he still hasn't found it in him to forgive Nathan for hurting me the first time."
"I don't know let me go check." Peyton runs upstairs and looks inside the church door's and looks all around, but doesn't see her dad. She runs back down to Haley. "Nope. I didn't see him."
"Then who's going to walk me down the aisle?"
"I can't believe this Peyton I am actually getting married can you believe it?" Haley says twirling around in her dress.
"No I really can't. Are you sure your ready to make this commitment official at age 18?"
"Peyton I am so in love there is no possible way I can wait any longer."
"Ok."
"Is Nathan ready?" Haley yells to her mom.
"Almost." She yells back.
"OMG I am so nervous. You look beautiful by the way."
"Thanks so do you."
"Nervous yet tutor girl?" Brooke says walking up to her.
"Oh yeah we have 20 more minutes. Are all the bridesmaids here?" Haley says looking around.
"Who all are bridesmaids?" Peyton asks.
"It's you, Brooke, my 2 cousins, and Nathan's cousin and Aunt."
"How about groomsman's?"
"Lucas, Jake, Tim, and his cousin and another guy from the team I forget his name."
"Ok girl you ready to get married?" The wedding planner asks Haley while she fixes the back of her dress.
"I thought we had 20 more minutes?" Brooke says to Haley.
"Maybe I was wrong." Haley says with the worried voice. "OMG this is it."
"Ok guys let's walk outside and around to the front doors." They all grab their flowers and walk around. "First Peyton goes, then Brooke, then so on and so on you know how it goes." The wedding planner instructed. "The flower girl will walk in front of the bride."
Haley hears the song playing. "OMG daddy here we go." Haley says to her dad.
The bridesmaid start down the aisle.
Oh, why you look so sad?
Tears are in your eyes
Come on and come to me now
Don't be ashamed to cry
Let me see you through
'cause I've seen the dark side too
When the night falls on you
You don't know what to do
Nothing you confess
Could make me love you less
I'll stand by you
I'll stand by you
Won't let nobody hurt you
I'll stand by you
So if you're mad, get mad
Don't hold it all inside
Come on and talk to me now
Hey, what you got to hide?
I get angry too
Well I'm a lot like you
When you're standing at the crossroads
And don't know which path to choose
Let me come along
'cause even if you're wrong
I'll stand by you
I'll stand by you
Won't let nobody hurt you
I'll stand by you
They then start playing the wedding song as Haley walks down the aisle. She looks up through her vials and sees Nathan and her bestfriend up their waiting for her. Tears began to fall when she found that Nathan had tears too.
"Who will be giving them away?" The preacher asks.
"Her mom and I." Haley's dad replies then he sits down.
"We are gathered here today to unite these two into marriage. Marriage should never be treated with abuse, but to be treated like it was fragile. Cause marriage is very fragile. If you mess with it, it could break and ruin your whole life. It can even leave scars. Love can bring some really joyful memories and it can make you so happy. Now after all said and done Haley and Nathan has written their own vowels. Please if you would Haley proceed to read them."
"Nathan I know we have had our ups and our downs. We have cried together so many times together, but I am so glad I had you to help me out and to wipe all my fears away." Nathan wipes her eyes with his hand. "I feel very fortunate to have you in my life. You have actually waited for me and that's what makes all this so much more special. Your my life and my hero. I never had someone care about me as much as you do and I never felt so beautiful the way I do when your around. Nathan Scott I am going to love you from this day forward and that will never change. Till death do us apart I do take you Nathan Mitchell Scott to be my lawfully wedded husband."
"Now you have heard her vowels you may say yours."
"Haley I know we had such a horrible start to our relationship. Us always fighting. Us fighting obstacles of people not wanting us to be together, but we fought though all the negative things and stayed together. I am so glad we did, cause I would go crazy if we ever broke up. I always said I never would cry, but for some reason you always find a way to make me" Nathan wipes a tear away from his eye. "You are such a blessing form god and I..." Nathan stops. "And I can't do this to you." Nathan storms out the church.
Peyton runs out after him.
Haley just stands there so shock.
"OMG Lucas I told you. I told you I wasn't worth loving." Haley runs down to the basement.
"WTH are you doing Nathan?" Peyton yells out at Nathan as she grabs his arm and turns him around.
"I can't do this Peyton I can't!"
"Why not? You wanted to get married. Nathan you can't do this to Haley. She's in there waiting for you to come back for her and your not."
"Yeah I know, but I don't want to get married at 17. It's too young. We're not even seniors yet. I love that girl to death enough to not screw her life up with marriage."
"Yeah I know. I mean it won't last and no I'm not saying that cause I am still in love with you."
"What?"
"OMG." Peyton says embarrassed walking away.
"Wait Peyton. Your still in love with me?"
"I don't know anymore. My feelings for people are so messed up."
"Why didn't you tell me this?"
"Cause I don't want to ruin it for Haley. She's finally in love for the first time."
"I still remember when I invited her to my first game she sat in the crowd yelling out my name and cheering for me. She was so beautiful, but I had you at the time and you was on my mind all the time till we broke up."
"Yeah and it didn't take you long to move on did it?"
"No it didn't cause I knew Haley was the one and she is the one for me, but I don't think now is the time to be getting married you know."
"Yeah."
"I'm sorry Peyton."
"It's ok. Lucas asked me to be with him again last night."
"And..."
"I told him I didn't know."
"Why?"
"Cause I really don't know. I don't know if I can trust him again. I don't know if he is all of a sudden going to wake up one day and tell me he is leaving again I don't think I can go though that again."
"Peyton give him another shot I know he won't do that to you again."
"This is so freaky. What happened between you two to make yall so buddy buddy again?"
"Reality."
"What do you mean?"
"I realized that it was never me who hated him it was my dad wanting me to hate him."
"Yeah. Your dad put so much BS in your head."
"Yeah I know. I guess that's another reason I'm scared. Dan married Karen when they were 17 just like me and haley. I don't want to turn out like him. I don't want to hit her everytime I feel like she wasn't doing stuff right and I don't want to cheat on her when I feel like her love isn't enough."
"Don't Nathan. Don't compare yourself to Dan."
"I can't go back in there and tell the love of my life that I can't marry her now."
"You want me to do it?"
"Yeah will you?"
"Of course."
"Thanks Peyt. And please tell her I'm sorry and tell her we will someday just not now."
"Ok. So are you leaving."
"Yeah tell her I went back to the apartment to change that she can come by if she wants to still talk to me."
"Ok bye."
Nathan gets in his car and leaves. Peyton walks back into the church t find just Lucas in there sitting down on one of the pughs.
"Where did everyone go?"
"They all went down into the basement."
"Oh ok." Peyton says sitting down beside him. "I've been thinking alot about last night and what you asked me."
"Really?"
"Yeah and I do Lucas want to be with you again. I don't know what I was thinking when I said I didn't know cause I did. I knew all along. My feelings for you are so clear and they are true. Your the one for me and I can't wait till it's our turn to come in here and get married."
"It's going to be great."
"I know." Peyton says taking his hand into hers and resting her head on his shoulder.
