A/N: Thanks for the reviews, you guys ROCK! Enjoy!


A cynical laugh from the bathroom door caught his attention, "I made some of your pain go away, well I'm happy that us almost fucking felt that good to you, but all you are to me is a warm body in the cold dark of night," Taylor's silky tone caressed him, ripping his heart into more pieces, each word that she spoke, shattered a little bit more of his sanity.

Ripping his hands through his disheveled hair, he stared from one girl to the other. One clad in black and blue, sexy as a goddess telling him that he was a just another fuck buddy and the other one wet and rumpled acting like she loved him when she'd left him.

"I can't take this anymore," broke from his lips, he started shaking from the impact of what was hitting him emotionally and psychologically.

"Nathan-" Haley moved to touch him.

"Don't touch me," he howled in pain, moving away from her. Grabbing his car keys, he stood in the door, the wind and battering rain embraced him. "If I never see the both of you again, it won't be too soon. Haley just stay away from me please, I can't take any more of your games. Taylor, you're the same as you were before when you took my virginity on the beach, both so beautiful are the James women, but deadly to my sanity." He disappeared from the doorway into the shadows of the night.

"Why did you say that?" Haley yelled at Taylor as she listened to the pealing of Nathan's car tires as he left.

"Because he's married to you and that's all that I could say," Taylor said cryptically.

"What's that supposed to mean?" Haley asked.

"Figure it out for yourself, now would you mind leaving, I just want to be alone right now," Taylor turned her back on her sister, moving back into the bathroom.

"Wait Tay, I need somewhere to stay tonight, my ride left already, he's coming back to pick me up tomorrow night, please can I stay with you?" Haley pleaded.

"Fine," Taylor replied tightly, her throat thick with emotion, "I'm going to have a shower," closing the door, she left Haley to her demons and emotions.


Taylor stripped off her clothes, tears choking her throat as she struggled to keep her crying under the noise of the shower so that Haley wouldn't hear her. Ever since Nathan had come back into her life, she'd felt more alive than ever. She'd always had a thing for him, he was like a male version of her, but he was married and unavailable, even though she'd brought him back to her motel room.

I only planned on kissing him a bit and then cuddling with him for the night, it's been so long since someone has held me without using me for the sex, it would feel so good, I've been so alone.

It broke my heart to say what I said to him, but I had to, for the sake of his marriage, if he wasn't married, I would have fought for him, I wish…

Collapsing against the wall of the shower, Taylor closed her eyes, rivulets of tears streaked down her cheek as she traced her lips,tender from his kisses, a memory that would fade with time, but which would be burned on her heart forever…


Haley rolled over on the bed, the mussed sheets reeked of Taylor's musk and Nathan's sweat, how could they?

How could I had left him? I love him, but I'm too young to be in this kind of relationship, I need freedom, independence, time to find myself, time to live, I need, I want..

She'd tell Nathan the next time she saw him that they just needed to put their future on hold for a year or two, so she could try and be whatever she would be in the world of music, that would allow Nathan to pursue his basketball if that's what he wanted.

We'll both be getting what we want, soon I'll see him, soon I'll tell him, soon…

Closing her eyes, she drifted off to sleep. The bathroom door and Taylor saw the lump under the bedspread, silent and motionless.

Sliding into the left side of the bed, Taylor turned out the bedside lamp and huddled under the blankets, looking out at the moon through the slatted blinds, she wondered where Nathan was and if he was ok?


Ok, I know it seems like I'm making this a Tathan story, but I'm not, you have to read on to find out, but a lot more is in store for Nathan before he finds happiness again, hence the title "heart break". Plz Read and Review. You'll get more soon.
