I stood there, almost frozen. There she was, Haley James-Scott, or now, just Haley James, singer and songwriter. How could she do that, just come back and simply say "hi", it wasn't fair. After the annulment, we aren't married anymore. At this point she decides to come back! It's not fair dammit!

"Nathan?" She looked up at me, hopeful, in tears, I couldn't let her do this, I couldn't let her get to me, and I wont. "Nathan, please, just say something."

I slammed the door in her face.

"Nathan" My mother ran down the stairs, looking worried; she crossed her arms and stared me straight in the face. "Was that Haley?"

"Yes" I starred back at her.

"Nathan, I know I was never really supportive of you two, but she came all this way, don't turn her away now." She looked up at me, I know she was right, but Haley deserved to suffer like I did, didn't she?"

I head a knock on the door, followed by loud bangs.

"I'm going to head tomy room and turn in, goodnight Nathan" My mother nodded to me and walked back up stairs.

I took a deep breath I walked back over to the door and opened it again. She wasn't wearing any makeup, dressed plainly in a tank top and jeans, and yet, she was the most beautiful girl I have ever seen in my life.

"Nathan, I'm so sorry, I just got caught in the music and, I don't wanna lose you, I know we aren't married anymore, but I still wanna be with you"

"Haley, you can't just come back here, it's not fair to, why now?"

"I, I don't know, I saw the big poster that had my name and picture on it, this was everything I always dreamed about, but I found myself wanting something else."

"And what's that Haley?

"I wanna be with you"

"It's not that simple Haley, you gotta give me something more than that!"

"I, I wanna be good enough to be with you"

"Well you've done a great job so far, Haley I kept putting myself out there for you, I married you, I got you a very expensive keyboard, I came after you on your tour, and you shot me down, I would have stayed with you all the way. There' nothing you can do to change my mind now"

She looked at me, determined, I didn't know why. All of a sudden she kissed me, it was a swift kiss, but a good kiss nonetheless. She shouldn't have done that, I looked down at her.

"You shouldn't have done that Haley."

"I wanted to." She looked up with a hopeful smile, I looked down at her, I smiled too.

"Yeah." I took her into my arms, kissing her passionately with all my love.

As we pull away and stare at each other I remember our first kiss, how she took a chance on me. It was my turn to take a chance on her. And so like the first time, we laughed, hugged, smiled, and I kissed her again, knowing that eventually, everything will be just fine.
