And again I do not own any rights or characters to this show.
(Lucas and Nathan)
(Lucas slowly walks towards Nathan)
Lucas: How ya holding up?
Nathan: I... I don't know anymore.(Lucas shakes his head understanding) I cant even remember why this all really started to be honest. I keep going over everything in my head but I can't seem to find an answer.
(Lucas nods sympathetically)
Nathan: A few weeks ago she came to see me to tell me she wanted us to work things out but I was so angry at her I didn't give her much of a chance to say anything.
Lucas: How do you know why she came?
Nathan: Peyton came by to remind how much of an ass I was.
Lucas: Damn. I really wish I knew what to say to you but I don't. (Pauses) You know she really does love you. She just needs that push.
(Nathan nods)(Lucas slaps Nathan on the arm)
Lucas: Good luck.
Nathan: Thanks.
Lucas: (Nods) Anytime little bro. (Nathan smiles as Lucas leaves)
(Switched to Haley locking up at the café)
(Haley turns around to see Nathan who startles her and she screams)
Haley: God Nathan you scared me.
Nathan: Sorry I didn't mean to.
Haley: (Looks around) What are you doing here anyways?
Nathan: I was hoping we could talk.
Haley: Right now's not a good time.
Nathan: Come on Hales you don't even have to saying anything if you don't want to.
(Haley nods)
Nathan: Why didn't you tell me you came to see because you wanted us to work things out?
Haley: Who told you?
Nathan: Doesn't matter.
Haley: I was but you changed my mind with everything that you were saying to me. Nathan please don't do this.
Nathan: Do what?
Haley: This. No matter what you or I say it still doesn't change anything.
Nathan: It doesn't have to be this way.
Haley: (Shakes head) I have to get up early.
Nathan: So this is what you want to do?
Haley: What's that?
Nathan: Throw what we have away.
Haley: I'm done playing this game.
Nathan: What game Hales? I'm trying my hardest to push aside my pride and fix this because it's not everyday that I fall in love.
Haley: (A tear rolls down her cheek) Are you done yet?
(Nathan shakes his head no)
Nathan: Do you love me?
Haley: Do you have to ask that?
Nathan: Just answer the question.
Haley: (Hesitates) Yes Nathan are you happy?! Now can I go?
(Haley turns and starts to walk away from Nathan)
Nathan: If you walk away now then you're walking away from us (Haley stops walking)(Pauses) for good.
(Haley puts hand on her mouth and tears run down her face still not facing Nathan but continues walking slowly)
Nathan: We took vows doesn't that mean anything to you. (Haley keeps walking) It was worth every second.
(Haley stops)
Haley: What was?
Nathan: Us (Pauses) even the fighting. (Haley walks over to Nathan)
Haley: Do you mean that?
Nathan: Yes. Haley I love you. I can't begin to imagine waking up one day and you not being there to share my life with.
(Haley nods)
Nathan: Stop doing that?
Haley: What?
Nathan: Stop comparing me to him. Haley I'm not my dad. When I said I do I meant it.
(Haley smiles and hugs Nathan tightly)
Haley: (Whispers and quotes a poem in Nathan's ear) Love me now, Love me never but if you love me, Love me forever.
Nathan: (Whispers as he pulls Haley to look at her face) Always.
Haley: But seriously Nathan I have to get up early.
(Nathan and her look at each other and laugh)
Nathan: Okay come on I'll give you a ride home.
(Get in his car and drive off)
(Lucas and Brooke)
(Lucas walks uncomfortably to Brooke)
Brooke: Hey I've been meaning to come see you.
(Lucas leans in to kiss Brooke; Brooke backs away fighting it)
Lucas: (Confused) Is something wrong?
(Brooke nods)
Lucas: What?
Brooke: Me and you. (Lucas looks at Brooke more confused) Who are we fooling Lucas? We already tried this and it didn't work out. What's so different now that'll make this work?
Lucas: I ah...(Tries to say something but cant get the words out)
Brooke" I'm sorry but I can't do it again. You were the only guy that could see past everything and that I tried to fight not to let in but you got there anyways and you broke my heart. I'm not willing to let that happen again.
Lucas: I'm sorry. I understand though.
(Lucas turns to walk out)
Lucas: You cant keep shutting people out because you're afraid to get hurt Brooke.
Brooke: No but I can push the one who can break my heart away.
(Lucas shakes his head and leaves)
Brooke: Damn it! (Lays on her bed crying)
(Back to Nathan and Haley)
(Haley hugs Nathan biting her lip and then gets out of his car)
Nathan: (Looks into Haley's eyes) Goodnight Haley James.
Haley: Goodnight Nathan Scott. (Nathan winks)
(Nathan pulls away from her house)
Haley: (Yells) By the way it's not James it's Scott!
(Back to Nathan driving; he smiles at what Haley just said))(Fade out)
