Lost in the Past
Chapter 11
A/N - Thanks a bunch for all the reviews I've been getting. I'm gonna try for the weekly updates now. I think if I set a deadline then I can really get moving so be looking on Mondays and Wednesdays for the weekly updates. This chapter should be good and there will be some Leyton sort of getting together, but not really. I know it sounds confusing but you'll like it. Here it is:
We last left off as the stewardess showed up at Nathan's house with Will. Remember he doesn't know about Will. Peyton also asked Lucas to dinner to sort a few things out.
Nathan stood with an expression on his face that the stewardess was puzzled by. The information she had said that Nathan knew that Will was in England with his mom and had everything ready for him to come back. Yet here Nathan Scott stood in disbelief that his son was standing on his doorstep. The only girl he'd been with in the past three years was Haley. When did Haley have a kid?
"Sir, here is all the information you'll need. I hope you enjoy his stay and he was so excited to meet his dad," she said trying to act like she had no other information. A minute later she got in the cab and was gone.
"What am I supposed to do?" he asked looking down at the little boy. He had a blanket clutched in his hand and looked like he wanted to cry.
Lucas had rode around town all day trying to figure out what Peyton really wanted with this dinner thing. He wasn't sure what to wear or where they were going. Nonetheless he was excited to spend time with her. It had been nearly 3 years since they had really talked. Their last real conversation was the night he told her he had cheated on her. He pulled up in his own driveway to find his younger brother sitting on the steps with a kid in tears.
Peyton sat at home looking over old yearbooks and photo albums. "What did I do wrong that he didn't love me?" she asked when Nate came down.
"What's a matter mom?" he asked. She looked at the now 6 year old and smiled.
"Nothing, just lookin at some old yearbooks and things," she replied seeing more of Lucas in him everyday.
He was wearing one of Keith's sweatshirts and jeans. It reminded her of Luke in high school. Nate sat down next to his mom and looked at pictures of his dad and mom together and apart. He laughed unaware that his mom and dad were going to be together in only a few hours.
Lucas walked up to Nathan and Will. Will was still in tears asking for his daddy to play and Nathan didn't know what to do. He hadn't even looked at any of the information he'd been given.
"What happened?" Lucas asked genuinely concerned for the 2 year old standing in front of his brother.
"He's my son," Nathan said shyly. "I guess he's mine and Haley's but I haven't talked to her in a while and when I called she was with some other guy. I don't know for sure if he's mine and I haven't even looked at the birth certificate," he answered unfolding the piece of paper.
He looked at it and the father's name and mother's name were clearly stated. Under Mother's Name: Haley James. Under Father's Name: Nathan Scott. Nathan continued to read to find out his son's name was William Joseph Scott. He looked down the little boy and was inundated with pride and love. The next thing he did was unfold the note that someone had written. It was definitely not Haley.
Chris had taken Haley to his house. He was planning to buy her all new clothes and get her accustomed to him. He was gonna marry her and have kids with her. Then he would just do whatever he wanted from there. She woke up the next morning in the bed next to Chris. To her relief she was still fully clothed and he was laying the other way. She went into the bathroom and stood, looking in the mirror. 'Something's missing' she thought to herself. She was having a hard time dealing with the fact that she basically had no identity, and from the looks of it she had no friends. Little did she know Peyton was at home looking at pictures of her at that very moment.
Nathan unfolded the note carefully and looked at it intensely. It basically told about the things he ate, what he liked to do, some of his favorite toys, and that his favorite sport was basketball. Nathan was in awe when he handed Will the little mini basketball. He started trying to dribble and for only being two he was good. Luke too stood there in shock of his nephew suddenly appearing.
"So, I guess I'm Uncle Luke now?" he asked with a smirk.
He knew Nathan's kid was gonna be awesome at basketball and now Nate would have a little friend even if they were 4 years apart. Liz would also have someone to play with because they were basically the same age. He was gonna be the uncle to break up all the fights between the kids too. He was also gonna be the uncle who helped raise Will because from the looks of it Haley wasn't on her way anytime soon. He took Will inside to make him his favorite food, as listed in the note. He popped easy mac into the microwave and sat him down. He walked upstairs to get ready to go out with Peyton.
Peyton felt as nervous as in high school in the bathroom. She had on a skirt that wasn't too long or too short. It fit her nicely and she liked that. She didn't want to be flirtatious, this was her ex-husband. She had a tight t-shirt that matched the black skirt and some dressy shoes on. She thought she looked just good enough but not tempting. Then again this was Luke and she could've had sweat pants on and it would've tempted him. "Why am I so nervous?" she said to the mirror. "If someone would've come up to me sophomore year and said 'hey you're gonna marry Lucas Scott and then divorce him while you have two kids' then I would've said 'where's the nearest mental institution you escaped from?' and ran away. I probably would've sworn I'd marry Nathan because I'd never get the courage to break up with him. What happened?" she asked again to the mirror. No one answered because she was all alone.
Lucas was feeling just as nervous. He stood in his bedroom with a pair of loose fitting khakis and a nice light blue long sleeve shirt. He had his hair spiked just enough (A/N - picture Chad's hair like in Teen People's top 25 under 25) and he thought he looked nice if they were going somewhere nice, but just casual enough if not. He heard a knock on the door and he felt that familiar feeling in the pit of his stomach. He opened the door and looked at his former wife. She looked beautiful and there was a glow about her. She looked happy to see him and like she was in a good mood.
"Hey...um...you ready to go?" he asked a little more shy than normal. The truth was that he was so nervous he could feel his sweaty palms and was having a hard time keeping it together.
"Yea, are you sure Nate is ok with the kids?" she asked apprehensively. She didn't want to leave Nate with the kids but she also didn't know about Will.
"Well, he's technically got three kids including his own, but I can tell you about that on the way to wherever we're going, but he said he'd be fine with them," he replied.
She was a little confused, but then again the whole Scott family confused her. They got in the car and ended up at a small little restaurant right near the end of town. Lucas smiled realizing he had surprised her by taking her there once. She knew what he was thinking and smiled to herself. They sat at a small table for two and looked at the menus in an awkward silence.
"So...um...what did you want to talk about?" Luke asked almost scared of the answer.
"Well, I just wanted to spend some time with you. Maybe we could get to know each other again and just get along a little better than we have been. I think we're hurting the kids and I don't want to do that to them anymore than you do so maybe we could just try to be friends again," she reluctantly stated. He grinned the famous Scott grin and her heart melted all over again. This was dangerous territory she was stepping into.
Haley once again walked around the house she was living in still not feeling like herself. Chris trailed behind her only a minute later and put his arms around her waist. She felt so uncomfortable in his arms and tried to squirm out of them.
"What's wrong," he asked very annoyed that she didn't want him.
"I just don't feel right and I don't mean to be rude, but none of this feels right," she said rudely. She was scared of his reaction seeing his face redden a little.
"Well, then why don't you just go crawling to your mommy...wait...you don't have one!" he screamed throwing her backwards into the wall. She pulled her knees to her chest as the tears fell. She slowly pulled up the strength to get to her bedroom where she locked the door after Chris left. She laid in bed and slowly drifted off into a restless sleep.
Peyton and Lucas had been at the restaurant for almost two hours laughing and being in serious discussion about everything. Peyton was feeling that old high school feeling and hating it. He had been a perfect gentleman all night. He always let her talk first and asked her questions. He pulled her chair out when she went to go to the bathroom and even got flowers for her in between. She was falling for that smile and personality and the way he talked. Truth be told she was falling a little too hard and a little too fast for her taste. He looked at her with that face he had and politely started talking.
"Any chance you wanna dance Ms...Sawyer?" he asked calling her by her maiden name. She was even a little shocked by his choice of words but after a few minutes she agreed. They stepped onto the dance floor that was located outside the restaurant and he slipped his hands around her waist as she snaked hers around his neck. The perfect song was suddenly playing as she laid her head on his shoulder.
Oceans apart day after day/And I slowly go insane/I hear your voice on the line/But it doesn't stop the pain
If I see you next to never/How can we say forever/Wherever you go/Whatever you do/I will be right here waiting for you
She felt it. She felt her heart fall all over. She saw him in a different light just as she had after so long. She saw him as the man she loved. It was dangerous and she knew it, but it was too late and she couldn't stop it.
Whatever it takes/Or how my heart breaks/I will be right here waiting for you
I took for granted, all the times/That I though would last somehow/I hear the laughter, I taste the tears/But I can't get near you now/Oh, can't you see it baby/You've got me goin' CrAzY
Haley was asleep for almost an hour before a dream really set in. She floated back to a time with a dark haired man, but his name wasn't revealed. They were at a house while this dark haired man threw stones at her window. She saw herself walk up and then she abruptly jumped from her bed waking up. Something was peculiar about that dream and she knew it.
Wherever you go/Whatever you do/I will be right here waiting for you/Whatever it takes/Or how my heart breaks
I will be right here waiting for you
I wonder how we can survive/This romance/But in the end if I'm with you/I'll take the chance
Oh, can't you see it baby/You've got me goin' cRaZy
Nathan sat in the house after finally getting all three kids to bed. He laid on the couch as his thoughts brought him back to Haley. Something was wrong.
Wherever you go/Whatever you do/I will be right here waiting for you/Whatever it takes/Or how my heart breaks
I will be right here waiting for you
Lucas smiled as Peyton looked up into his deep blue eyes. They both knew it was coming and it was going to make things harder. He leaned his head down as she closed her eyes. It was like a crash of lightning when their lips met and they knew it was only going to get more intense as the night went on.
SO THAT'S IT. THAT WAS THE FUN CHAPTER. THE NEXT CHAPTER WILL BRING MORE DRAMA AND I THINK YOU'LL LIKE IT. I HOPE ALL YOU LEYTON FANS LIKED THAT ONE. IT WAS SPECIALLY FOR YOU. ANYWAY IT DOES NOT MEAN THEY ARE TOGETHER AGAIN, IT'LL BE A WHILE LONGER BEFORE THEY'RE REALLY TOGETHER. THANKS FOR THE REVIEWS AND READING. MORE REVIEWS THE FASTER I'LL TRY.
Spoilers - Haley confronts Chris about her dreams/Luke and Peyton get a little more intense/Nathan deals with Will/Chris continues with the cruelness/Will be jumping a few months.
I know Naley wasn't major but I needed that chapter to add the Leyton plot in. The song was by Richard Marx: Right here waiting. I would like to thank him for a great song. I have quite a few more songs I want to incorporate so I hope you don't mind them.
Will update soon!!
