Chapter 7

So far the day was passing slowly. By lunch time to Haley it seemed like every girl in the school had asked her about her date with Nathan.

"Can you sit with me at lunch today?" Nathan asked coming up behind Haley.

"Sorry, but I have to spend time with my friends, I promised them I would eat lunch with them today."

"Please."

"I can't but I'll see you later ok." Haley said walking into the cafeteria.

"Say one word about my date with Nathan and I will kill you." Haley said sitting down at the table where her friends were sitting at.

"Why, what happened?" asked Emily.

"Nothing, just every single girl in the school has been asking me about it."

"Oh, so I heard you and Nathan were making out during first period." Taylor laughed.

"Yea, until Peyton came in and broke us apart." Haley laughed. "But everyone was starting to ask us about our date. God people are so annoying!"

"Hey can I sit with you guys?" Nathan asked.

"Um..." Haley started

"Sure." Emily said cutting Haley off surprising both Nathan and Haley.

Nathan sat next to Haley as Lucas came over and asked;

"Yo, Nate are you going to come and sit with everyone or are you going to stay over here and sit with Haley?"

"I'm gonna stay here." Nathan said looking over at Haley.

"Ok, do you guys mind if I join you? Tim is being annoying as all hell."

"Sure." Haley replied.

Soon enough most of the people from the "jock cheerleader" table had migrated over to where Nathan was sitting.

The rest of the day past by slowly. After school Haley went home to get ready to cheer at the basketball game. When she got there her phone was ringing.

"Hello?" Haley asked picking up the phone.

"Hey Haley, it Nate.

"Oh hey Nate. What's up?"

"I was wondering if you needed a ride to the game and if you are going to the party afterwards and if you are would you like to go with me?"

"Yes I need a ride, and I would love to go to the party with you."

"Ok so I'll pick you up at six."

"Ok see ya then."

After Haley hung up the phone she went to get ready. After she was finished getting ready the phone rang again.

"Hello?"

"Hey Haley its mom., I just want to let you know that I am coming home tomorrow."

"Ok well I got to go finish getting ready for the game."

Haley hung up the phone and checked how she looked. She made sure she had everything that she needed and when she was finished, Nathan was knocking on the door.

"Hey you ready to go?" Nathan asked as Haley opened the door.

"Yep lets go."

When they got to the school they walked into the gym hand in hand.

"Can I get a good luck kiss?" Nathan asked before they went into the separate locker rooms.

"Sure." Haley said kissing Nathan. "Now go win the game." Haley laughed.

The ravens ended up winning the came with Nathan scoring the winning point. After the game Nathan and Haley headed to the party, which was filled with people making out, drinking, most halfway drunk by the time the go there, and others just hanging out.

"Hey guys! What took ya so long to get here?" Brooked asked as she saw Nathan and Haley come into the kitchen.

"Nathan, he kept messing with his hair." Haley laughed.

"I was not." Nathan said.

"Whatever you say Nate." Haley laughed.

The party was over and Nathan and Haley were hanging out at the docks. Haley was sitting there staring off into space.

"What are you thinking about?" Nathan asked noticing Haley staring off into space..

"Nothing."

"Oh? It doesn't seem like nothing."

"You're right, its not nothing. My mom called earlier she's coming home tomorrow."

"Isn't that a good thing?" Nathan asked confused.

"Well it would be but my mom, well we don't get along at all, we fight about everything, mainly stupid stuff. But she is away a lot so I don't see her unless she is home."

"That sucks."

"Yea and the worst part is she will be home tomorrow and I have noting to do so I will be stuck at home with my mother."

"No you won't. Tomorrow we are going out." Nathan said.

"Oh really? Since when?"

"Since now."

"Well then what are we going to be doing?"

"Well we are going to the movies and then, I don't know what but we will figure it out."

"Ok." Haley laughed.

"So then it is settled. I'll pick you up tomorrow at seven ok?"

"Ok."

"Well its getting late we better start getting home."

"Yea, lets go."

Nathan took Haley home and then drove to his house.

The next day Haley's mom didn't get home until around three thirty. Haley walked downstairs to find her mother in the kitchen making herself something to eat.

"Hello Haley."

"Hi."

"What are you doing today?"

"Well I am going on a date."

"With who?"

"Nathan Scott."

"No."

"What?"

"You are not going out with that boy."

"What?! Why not?!"

"I have my reasons but you are not going out with that."

"That? He is a person mother! Not a thing! I can go out with whoever I want! Why do you care anyways, its not like you are ever here to have a say in what I do."

"YOU ARE NOT GOING OUT WITH HIM BECAUSE ALL HE WILL DO IS END UP HURTING YOU! HE IS JUST LIKE HIS FATHER! DAN SCOTT HURT ME AND HIS SON WILL ONLY END UP HURTING YOU ALSO! THE APPLE DOESN'T FALL FAR FROM THE TREE HALEY! MY WORD IS FINAL! YOU ARE NOT GOING OUT WITH HIM!"

"YOU DON'T KNOW HIM MOTHER! JUST BECAUSE HIS FATHER ENDED UP DOING SOME SHIT DOESN'T MEAN THAT NATHAN WILL, NATHAN IS HIS OWN PERSON HE IS NOT LIKE HIS FATHER!"

"YOU ARE NOT GOING OUT WITH HIM!"

"Whatever." Haley said storming out of the house.

After the fight with her mother Haley had tears streaming down her face. She started off towards Nathan's house. When she got there she knocked on the door having Nathan answer.

"Hey Hales what are you doing her?" Nathan asked surprised to see her. "What happened?" Nathan asked pulling her into his arms when he saw Haley's tear stained face.

"My...my mother, came home...and...and we got into a fight. She doesn't want me to go out with you." Haley cried into Nathan's chest.

"Sh it'll be ok, we will work it out, don't worry."

Nathan and Haley walked up to Nathan's bed room and laid down on his bed. Haley laid there in Nathan's arms and cried into his chest. After a while she started to calm down.

"Do you want to tell me what happened?" Nathan asked.

"I came down stairs and she asked me what I was doing tonight and then I told her I had a date with you and she said that I am not allowed to go out with you. Then she said that you would end up hurting me and her word was final and I'm not allowed to go out with you, then I stormed out and came here." Haley said as a fresh batch of tears started.

"Sh, don't worry Hales, we can still go out, we will just have to keep it from your mom. Brook and Peyton will help, so will Luke and you can see if your friends will, don't worry we will make it through this." Nathan said kissing her forehead.

"Promise?"

"Promise. You want to stay here tonight? My parents are not home."

"Sure, I'll just my mom that I am over Peyton's, even though she wont care."

"Do you just want to stay here tonight and watch movies and hang out?"

"Yea."

Nathan and Haley spent the rest of the night hanging out and watching movies. Haley thought hiding her relationship with Nathan would be easy since her mother was never home, but little did she know, it would harder then she thought.
