Chapter 17
Nathan's POV
I went home broken hearted. I knew a part of Haley still loved me, but that wasn't enough. She had too many hesitations and I knew she viewed a future with me full of uncertainty.
My whole being wanted to fight for her, but my mind stopped me. I wanted to do what was right and what was good for her. I've always known that Chris would be good to her. Chris loves her, he'll be faithful to her…..he'll be able to do something I failed at…
They'll have a wonderful life together, a number of children, and a big and beautiful house. Haley will be happy. She'll be happy with him.
I went to my room and started to pack. I don't really know if I'm gonna sell this house but I'd have to talk to Lucas about it. I looked over my table and saw a framed picture of me and Haley when we got married.
She was so beautiful that day, she still is. Her curly brown hair was in a loose bun and the wink kept blowing the loose curls. We were so happy back then, I love her so much.
I heard my phone ring. It was my agent telling me that I have to go back to LA soon. I told him I could go right now. I straightened things out and I left Lucas a message telling him to follow.
The weather wasn't good but I'll take the risk. I wanted to leave…. every minute I stay here the more I hurt.
It was raining pretty hard when I reached the airport, didn't really matter though. I don't care if my plane goes down with the rain. I lost Haley. I've lost my reason for being.
I watched as the tall buildings became smaller and smaller, eventually I fell asleep. I was awakened by the sound of a man. It was the pilot, telling us to calm down and that we will soon reach our destination.
Geez this people are wimps. A little turbulence wouldn't kill anyone. That's what I thought before the turbulence became stronger…..
An old lady behind me was praying, a baby was crying. The pilot's voice came again, he told us that we were gonna have a rough landing.
There was nothing wrong he said, the weather was just bad.
A thought played in my mind, another damned what if.
What if my plane crashed? What would Haley do? What would she say?
I immediately shook my head. I'm supposed to be getting over her, not hoping we'll still get together.
Besides, it's not as if my plane was gonna crash. The pilot was right, we landed pretty roughly. I was a bit dizzy but over all I was okay.
I was going to be all right but my heart will never be because no matter what I do Haley will always be the one for me.
