"Waking Up"
I yawn and turn over hitting something. I slowly open my eyes to see what I hit when I notice I'm not alone in my bed. It's actually not my bed at all. I 'm in Nathan's bed with Nathan. I slowly pull my arm out from under him and sit up trying to remember the night before. I look around the room and see both of our clothes thrown all around the room. I quickly remember having a couple drink at the club, dancing, the cab ride home, kissing him, taking off his clothes. I quickly take a deep breath trying to digest all that happened the night before. I get up and walk across the hall changing into clothes and grabbing my purse.
I enter the kitchen and grab a piece of paper to leave a note for Nathan so he won't worry where I am.
Nathan,
Sorry, I don't mean to just leave and have you wondering where I am but I needed to get out. I'm really sorry, last night wasn't a mistake and I know that in my heart but I feel I need to sort some things out and clear my head. I will be home some time later on today.
Always,
Haley
I quickly call a cab. As soon as I get into the cab I retrieve my cell phone from my purse and search through my phone book. Peyton ...No her and Jake just got back last night and they probably want to spend time with the kids I realize. Brooke...that's it. I'll call Brooke and talk to her. She might know what to do.
I quickly dial her number and listen for her to answer. "Hello?" she says into the phone. I can till she just woke up. I look at my watch and realize it's only 8am. I feel bad for waking up for her but it's done. "Brooke, hey. It's Haley. Um I've sort of got a problem, anyway we could meet, or talk?" I ask her. "Haley, of course come over here and we'll figure something out from there." she replies before I hang up. I give the address to the driver and wait until we get there.
I knock on Brooke's door, I feel bad that it is early, I didn't even bother to look at the clock before I left the house I just kinda left. "Haley," she says as she opens the door. She quickly wraps her arms around me in a hug and pulls me inside. "So I was thinking lets go up into my retreat room and we can talk. I'll get the cook to make us some breakfast and bring it up to us. I left a note for Lucas to watch the kids and that we would come down by dinner time." she stated as she pulled me up the stairs towards her retreat room.
"Ok so what happens?" Brooke asks as soon as we are comfortable on the couches in her room. "I don't know. I mean it just happened." I replied. "Ok Haley start from the beginning and tell me exactly what happened." she replied.
"Ok so yesterday morning while I was making breakfast Nathan asked if I wanted to go out to celebrate the fact that we kept our insanity for the two weeks with the kids. I agreed and once Jake and Peyton left with the girls, we got ready and left. Well it turns out he took me to Loutis, and we had a good time. Had a couple of drinks, dance, talked and had fun. Well then once we got home we were talking and then well." "You didn't Haley!" she replied realizing what I was about to say. It's not like I planned it Brooke. We were having a good time and then we just did. It wasn't that I was drunk cause I wasn't. And Brooke I wanted it to happen, I know I did. If it wasn't what I wanted I would have never have let it happen. But just waking up in Nathan's bed, with Nathan, his arm around me. I just couldn't take it. I had to leave. I just needed to sort everything out.
"Does Nathan know you left?" she asked once I was finished explaining what had me so upset. "I left a note. He looked so peaceful sleeping and I knew he would want me to stay and I just couldn't stay there any longer."
"Makes sense, but there's something I've got to know." Brooke said, her eyes gleaming. "How was it?" She asked, waited for my juicy detail. "You really haven't changed have you Brooke." I asked starting to laugh. "Nope, same old sex obsessed as I have always been. So..." "I don't know, it was...perfect. Ok, it was perfect." I replied.
"Yay! My Naley is back together!" Brooke giggled. "You're what?" I asked looking at her wondering what crazy thing she has come up with now. "Naley, Nathan and Haley. Get it, Naley." she replied as if I was Tim. "First of all where is the world did you come up with that. And secondly we are not back together Brooke I still need to fix everything that went wrong with Clark." I reply.
"Haley you slept with him, how are you not back together." she replied now munching on the food the cook brought up. "Brooke if you were together with everyone you slept with in High School you would have had a new boyfriend every hour of the day." I reply with a smile. "Ok so I so was like that back then but not anymore and it's different Haley. You and Nathan are kind of married you know. I mean you have history. You're in love." she replied.
I think about everything she has said, it's true I do have history with Nathan and I did love him and we are married but the real question is if I still love him. "Brooke why don't we just forget about Nathan and do something. Just anything ok. Something to not let me think about everything I need to be thinking about." I tell her hoping she understands what I want. "Can do bestest friend." she replied with a smile.
Ok so I know that this chapter is totally short and not too interesting but I've got a big chapter coming up and a lot should happen. This was just sort of a filler chapter before the next one. Don't worry I have a whole time line worked out for this story so I have everything spaced out. 3 chapters after this one.
