Chapter 22
"What are you doing here?"
"Can't a father come see how his son is doing?" Dan asked walking over to where the gang was sitting.
"Yea a father could, but you are in no way a father. You were never there when I was growing up all you did was pressure me with basketball and tell me that I would never be good enough. That not what a father is supposed to fo, he is supposed to love their child and support them not make them feel like crap or push them so far that they use drugs." Nathan said angrily.
"I gave you everything you ever wanted. I pushed you to do better. I MADE YOUR DREAMS HAPPEN!"
"No I made my dreams happen, I played hard, I practiced, you just pushed me too hard and told me that I would never be good enough."
"What are you doing here Dan?" Karen asked coming into the front of the café when she heard yelling.
"I just came to see my son."
"Well from what I've heard he doesn't want to see you."
"You don't know what you are talking about Karen."
"Oh I believe I do Dan, now get out of my café you are disrupting the customers."
"Whatever Bitch." Dan said leaving the café.
"Are you ok Nate?" Haley asked.
"Yea I'm fine."
"So Hales, what were you saying before you were so rudely interrupted?" Brook asked.
"Well we picked the baby's name."
"Aw! What is it?!"
"Jordan McKenzie Scott."
"Aw! That's so cute!" Peyton said."
"Hey Nate, I'm tired can we go home?" Haley asked seeing that Nathan was lost in his own world, she knew something was wrong and knew he wouldn't talk about it in front of everyone else.
"Yea sure, come on Hales, lets go."
They walked out of the café and to the car. When they got into the house, Nathan walked into the kitchen.
"Nate are you ok?" Haley asked again.
"Huh? Yea I'm fine."
"Nate don't lie to me. I've always been able to tell when you lie, what's wrong?"
"My dad, he just...he never acted like a father to me, he's pushed me so much that I used drugs, he told me I would never be good enough, and then he comes back and tells me that he made my dreams happen, that...it pisses me off that he said they made them happen, I worked my ass off yo get to where I'm at. All he did was tell me that I'd never be good enough."
"Nate don't listen to him. You know your dad he is an ass and he is full of crap. You are the one who did all the work all he cares about is basketball and winning and you and I both know that, don't listen to anything he said because none of it is true ok?"
"Yea, thanks Hales." Nathan said kissing Haley's forehead. "Come on lets go to sleep." Nathan said as they started to walk up stairs to go to sleep. "I love you Hales."
"I love you too Nate."
"What are you doing here?"
"Can't a father come see how his son is doing?" Dan asked walking over to where the gang was sitting.
