Lost in the Past
Chapter 13
A/N - Wow...I've taken forever to update but as you know, summer just started and I've been really busy with different things so the updates won't be so frequent. I hope you'll continue to read the story even if I can't update that often...but here's chapter 13:
Suddenly the phone rang where Haley laid on the bed. She slowly picked it up and very sadly spoke into the receiver.
"Hello?" she said into the phone waiting for some kind of response.
"Haley?" a deep voice answered. He hoped with all his heart that was his Haley and not a wrong number again. He sat and waited for an answer, he knew she was there. He'd heard her beautiful voice when she answered. Where was she now?
Peyton couldn't bring herself to forgive him earlier that night. So there she laid in her bed late that night, pondering over her decision. Could it have possibly been the right one? She began to look back on the events from earlier.
FLASHBACK
He just poured his heart out. He sat waiting and searching her hazel eyes for some kind of response. Her eyes looked blank as she looked at Lucas.
"I'm so sorry. I have to go, Luke," she said as she got up and walked away. This time he didn't try to go after her, he just sat down and cried. He let himself go and he cried his heart out until he realized they were divorced and he couldn't reach her heart any longer. It was time to let her go.
END OF FLASHBACK
"Hello, who is this?" Haley replied. Nathan felt his heart break into a million pieces, this was his Haley. The girl who he spent his happiest times with. She obviously didn't recognize him.
"Look, is this Haley James or not?" In his heart he knew the answer, but he didn't want to know. He didn't want to face the reality of the fact that she didn't know who he was.
"This is Haley James, but who is this?" 'How does this guy know me?' She wanted answers. She wanted truth. His voice sounded familiar. Then 'CLICK' was heard over the phone line. There was no one there. The strange man was gone. The only sound she heard was the thumping of boots in her house. Then glass crashed and she heard her own footsteps. She was running through the house to get away from her insane fiancee.
She ran and made it to her bedroom. She locked the door and he came running. The door suddenly flew open while fragments of wood went everywhere. His face was red as anything, and he looked furious. She knew trouble wasn't far behind.
"Chris, before you do anything can I please just ask you a question?" she asked uneasily. She was doing everything to save herself. He didn't look very responsive. She decided to continue on and not even wait for his answer. "Well, see lately I've been having these weird dreams. I didn't know if I possibly had any friends that I haven't seen in a while. These dreams have this guy in them and he's like 6' 1'' and he has dark hair. I was wondering if you might know who he is or just any friends I may have had," she rambled very nervously.
He knew who she was talking about. This was going to be a problem because he wanted her thoughts of Nathan to be erased. His face flared and he threw the bureau across the room. She shrieked and sunk back into the corner of the bed. He slammed the door and ran out of the house. He needed a new plan.
Nathan sat on the couch with his thoughts strewed about the room. He had no address to her, but this was it. If she couldn't even remember him then their relationship was over. He walked into the bathroom for the second time that night. He picked up the metal blade and debated what to do with it. He'd already done this earlier. He hadn't yet touched his wrist, but he sat in the bathroom for an hour earlier. He didn't have anything to live for or anyone. What was keeping him alive now? She was his reason to get up in the morning, his reason to live and now she was gone. He worked for months with Lucas and Peyton to get better. They supported him and loved him for who he was and helped him work past his problem. All of that was going down the drain if he struck his wrist with the razor blade. He slowly put the blade down and walked into his room to sleep. Yet, sleep didn't come that night and he laid awake for hours staring at the fan in his ceiling.
Lucas returned to the house late that night. To say his heart was broken would be the understatement of the century. He crawled into bed, but he also didn't let his eyes close. No one really got any sleep that night. He had the kids the next day so he knew he needed sleep, he couldn't take his frustrations out on them. So he got up at 6 the next morning to get in the shower. There were dark circles under his eyes and he had 3 cups of coffee trying to wake himself up. It didn't do much for him, but at least when the kids came down he looked presentable.
"Hi daddy," Nate said to Luke. Luke plastered a smile on his face while he watched his 6 year old get milk for his little sister. Nate did take very good care of her, and Luke watched with pride that his kids got along for the most part. Liz came down a minute later and kissed Luke on the cheek when she crawled up in his lap. She was only 2, but she was smart and loved her daddy even if she didn't see him much.
Nathan came down about a half an hour later with Will in his arms. The poor kid didn't know what was going on. Luke saw the look on the 2 year old's face and he wanted to help. He got up and got a bottle for Will.
"Here ya go buddy." Will took it graciously and drank till he was content. Nathan had no idea of how to take care of a two year old. It was going to take a lot of teaching.
"Nate, I was thinking we could take a little trip with the kids," Luke said stifling a yawn. "Ya know you need to bond with Will. He is your kid and if he's gonna grow up right then he's gotta have a good father."
Nathan nodded and looked at his son. Will was walking around with his bottle and looking at pictures that were on the lower shelves. His eyes grew wide and he started jumping up and down. He was giggling and screaming at the picture.
Luke and Nathan jumped out of their chairs and ran to see what got Will so riled up. They looked and saw a picture of Haley on the shelf. Nathan gave a sad smile watching Will.
"Mommy! Mommy!" he yelled. Lucas and Nathan finally knew for sure that Will was Haley's and something was wrong if she was gonna give up her little boy. Nathan told Luke about what happened with Haley and Lucas was upset. He decided he had to try in a few days to reach her. For now the kids were his main priority and he had to help Nathan with Will. He also had Peyton on his mind. He was trying to let her go. He was doing all he could but he knew that when she came to puck the kids up the next day that it was going to be a hard task to complete. In fact he didn't know if he even wanted to try.
WELL I HOPE YOU ALL ENJOYED THAT!! I FIGURE THE NEXT CHAPTER IS JUST GOING TO BE FUN BCUZ THE GUYS ARE GOING TO TAKE THE KIDS OUT!!
NEXT: Will and Nathan are going to become closer/Lucas is trying to reach Haley/Chris continues to be evil/Haley's dreams still continue/Luke and Peyton drama and secrecy.
Well I tried to put some Naley, but I want to keep holding out a little. Nathan and Haley were the main people in this chapter and I hope you're all looking forward to Nathan having some fun with his little boy. The more you review I'll keep trying. Will update soon!!
