Chapter 15- Dangerous Truth
"What!" He did not just ask me to marry him, I must be hallucinating. I cannot believe this. We are only 17, and are only juniors in high school. We can't get married.
"Haley-"
"We cannot get married, were only 17, and in high school. Are you completely crazy." I was pacing around the room at this point, and Nathan and Brooke were look in at me like I was a complete psycho.
"Haley, I am not crazy. We don't have to get married right away. We can wait as long as you want. I am just asking that you marry me eventually, and move in with me now. It can be after high school, or even after college if you want. I just wan to know if you will marry me." I look at him as I slowly stop pacing and walk over to him.
"Nathan, you are completely crazy, but I love you, and I would love to marry you." Nathan slid the ring onto my finger and pulled me into a huge kiss. While Brooke was cheering and screaming, like a true cheerleader should. It was perfect.
Ring, Ring,
"That's my cell, it's probably my parents." They just always have to ruin everything good. "Hello."
"Haley it is your mother, I want you to come home right now. You have to finfish packing. See you in a few minutes." Then she hung up.
"It was my mom, I have to go. But you guys should come with me. Now is as good a time as any to tell them that I am moving out and engaged." As the three of us walked out the door, I said a silent prayer to myself that everything would be okay.
The four of us were now sitting on my living room couch. Brooke had went home, saying that she though this was something me and Nathan should tell them alone. I take a depp breathe before beginning. I look to Nathan who looks back and squeezes my hand.
"Mom, Dad, me and Nathan have something very important to talk to you about." My parents look uninterested, which hurts me a little, even though I don't want it to.
"Haley, your father and I have a lot of packing left to do so please just cut to the chase. Besides, you need to pack also."
"Actually I don't. Mom, I m not moving with you guys, I am moving in with Nathan." Silence filled the room, no one made a sound, or even moved until my mom started shaking her head.
"Haley Elizabeth James, what makes you think that I will let you do something like that? I am your mother, and even though we don't get along, I am not letting you move out at such a young age." I cannot believe this; I thought that they would love to get rid of me.
"Mom, I love Nathan, and we are engaged, it will be a long engagement but I want to live with him, not you guys. At least he loves me."
"Haley, I know that I am a horrible mother and that I don't show it how you want me too, but I do love you. I'm sorry Haley but you cant live with him. Living with us is what is best for you." I am pissed and so I do the only thing that I can think of to show her how wrong she is.
"Your what's best for me? Are you completely psycho? You are never home, say how you regret my existence, and throw money at me to make it all better." I am standing up and reach to roll up my sleeve. Nathan notices and tries to stop me.
"Hales hun, just calm down."
"No Nathan, this is something I have to do." My mom looks confused, she is ignorant as always. She never even noticed that she was ripping me apart inside, that everytime she left I broke just a little more. I want her to experience that pain, I want her to understand and feel guilty. I need her to finally do what is really best for me, and not her.
I roll up my sleeves exposing the cuts, the cuts that I made because she didn't love me.
"Is this what you want for me mom, huh, is this what you consider to be the best thing for me, because I don't think it is. You say you love, but if that were true, you would do what was best for me and let me stay, because it's your fault that I cut. You did this. It was the only way I had to help relieve the pain that you cause by never being there. You should have been there. But you never cared enough for that. Nathan cares, he really loves me and will do anything for me so I need to be with him, and not you, so please just let me stay, because other wise I will die on the inside and hate you forever for it."
I look over at her unreadable expression and wait for her answer, she opens her mouth to talk, this is it, and whatever she says here determines my future. I have done everything that I can.
