Chapter 13
"Come on Hales we're gonna be late for our flight. Everyone is out waiting by the elevators." said a slightly exasperated Peyton. She understood that Haley didn't want to leave Nate but she didn't wanna leave Jake either.
"Sorry Peyt. I was just spaced out. I'm ready." and they walked out of the room and met the gang at the elevator.
Haley was taking the whole being away from Nathan thing really hard and was silent in the car while she held on to Nate. They had only been goin out for a week but they both felt the chemistry and realized that they had something special, and Nathan was content just holding Haley. He knew he would see her before break was over - actually everyone but Haley knew about his surprise.
When they got to the airport the Luke and Brooke took the girls suitcases out of the trunk and brought them to the check in line, so that the couples could bond a little more, no one wanted to ruin the surprise for Haley. Nathan stood behind Haley with his arms around her waist as she got out her license to show the baggage handler. When she was all checked in he moved to her side with one arm still around her waist and they walked behind the rest of the group. Before she got in line to go through security he stopped her and handed her a small bag.
"Here Hales, I want you to have this."
"Aww Nate I thought we were doing presents when I got back from break I don't have yours yet."
"Its not a Christmas gift Hales. It's just a little something for the flight and well break in general. But don't open it until after you go through security and you're waiting for to bord."
Haley stared at him in disbelief with tears in her eyes.
"Do you know how awesome you are?"
Nate just laughed in response and bent down and kissed her.
"Have a safe trip babe and call me when you land."
"I will. Do me a favor?"
"Anything for you."
"Don't stay here while me and Peyt stand in line. I don't wanna leave and knowing your waiting here watching me stand in line I..."
He cut her off with a kiss.
"No need to explain. I'll miss you. Be safe. Merry Christmas."
"I'll call when I land."
With that everyone hugged and said good bye.
"You ok Hales?" Peyton asked as they sat down in the waiting area.
"Ya" Haley replied dismally.
"Whats in the bag?"
"No clue but he said I could open it while we waited to bord."
With that she pulled the object out of the bag and untangled it from the pink tissue paper. It was his tarheels basketball sweatshirt. With a little note
Hales-
I know how you love to wear my sweatshirts. Keep warm on the Cape over break. I wish I could be there to keep you warm but the sweatshirt will have to do. Miss you already babe.
