Nathan stared into his father's eyes. They were dark brown like his own, but Dan's had something more. Something that Nathan, deep down, wished he had too. It was as if Dan's eyes were tougher and wiser and stronger. They didn't have the empty look that Nathan found in his own.
His father often spoke through his eyes. And at that moment Nathan saw the question that had tormented his childhood. The question that didn't ask for an answer but assumed it. Are you scared?
'I'm not scared.' Nathan told himself. 'I'm not!' But how could he lie to himself? How could he convince himself that he wasn't what he was? Nathan was scared. He was scared that Haley would hate him for this, that all hope of ever having a good relationship with his brother would be ruined because he broke that girl's heart. And that his life itself would be ruined because of that.
Nathan looked up into his Father's eyes that pierced through him like a needle diving into the human flesh. "What? Are you scared?" Dan asked with a confidant chuckle.
Nathan turned his back on his father. "Get away from me." He said disgustedly. Nathan stomped across the hardwood floor, open the door and stood in the doorway. "And stay AWAY from Haley." Taking his turn to pierce through Dan, Nathan glared at him for only seconds before slamming the door shut.

That night Nathan went back to Drew's place and continued what he had begun the night before. But somehow, everything was more relaxing than scary, as it had been the first night. Nathan began to find it pleasant to sit in Drew's dirty living room and take puffs at the beloved joints.
So he continued going, every night.

One day, a few weeks after the "incident" with his father, Nathan lay on his bed staring up at the ceiling, until there came a knocking at his door. "Come in!" he yelled, sitting up and rubbing his eyes.
Haley walked across Nathan's empty apartment, trying not to step on his clothing that was scattered across the floor. "Nathan?" she yelled out. Her voice echoed in the big room.
"I'm right here, baby." He said, approaching her and pulling her into his body. "What is it?" he asked.
Haley tried to pull away but Nathan gripped her sides and held her close to him. "Nathan!" she protested as he kissed her neck up and made his way down the strap of her black tank top. "Nathan!" His tongue ran its way over her left breast and through to the center of her chest.
"Nathan stop!" she yelled. Haley put her hands on his bare chest and pushed him back into the wall. Readjusting her shirt, Haley glared bitterly at Nathan.
"What's your problem?" he asked angrily. "I thought you liked that." Nathan approached her again this time gripping her wrist as tightly as he could.
Haley pulled on his arm with her free hand. "Let go of me. My God, Nathan, what's wrong with you?" she asked furiously as she dug her nails into his strong arm. Nathan let go, leaving Haley to back away.
"What the hell Haley?" he yelled as he drew back his hand and whipped it across the young woman's soft cheek. Watching her grab at her hurting face, Nathan began to apologize. "Haley, look, I didn't mean to hurt you. I'm"
"Yes you did!" She cried painfully. Haley's glare was like his father's. Tough and harmful.
Nathan smirked at her. "You two are in on this together, aren't you? Together to make my life miserable! And to believe I was worried that you would hate me. Pfff..." Nathan turned away from her shaking his head. "To believe, I thought you liked me."
Haley grunted and marched around Nathan grabbing his shoulder. "Nathan! I came over here because you weren't at school today. I thought you were sick so I came to see how you were. And I don't think its me that's ruining our relationship." Haley stopped speaking abruptly when she saw the venomous look on Nathan's twisted face.
"What's that supposed to mean? Huh?!" Nathan stuck his face into Haley's and she began to back away.
Step by step she made it closer to the door, but she hadn't taken very many steps and she was still at the opposite side of the room. Nathan growled as the two glared at each other. Nathan let out a scream of impatience and once again whipped his hand across her face but this time, with more force sending her back.
Haley's head fell back and her foot stepped back onto Nathan's silk boxers and she slipped. Her whole body lifted off the ground before falling on the hard floor. Nathan bent down over the unconscious Haley with his spirit flaming with anger towards her and towards himself.
As Nathan kneeled on the floor, there came another knocking at the door. Nathan looked up to see the door open and the older Scott standing in the doorway.
Seeing Nathan over her like a hungry vulture, the young man yelled at his brother. "Get away from her!"
