Author's note: As before anything in Italics is a flashback scene

"Come on guys, If I could tell you about Rick, then you can confess all your secrets too" Peyton said.

The remaining four wished it was that simple. No one responded so Peyton picked someone to go.

"Nate, you're up."

"What? Why?" He stammered

"Because I went last so I get to pick. Its basic Truth or Dare rules." Peyton told him

Nathan just sat there. He quickly looked over at Haley who was still by Peyton's side. He knew he couldn't confess. He had already lost Haley once and he didn't want to lose her again.

"I can't tell her this." He thought to himself.

"What are drinking, man?" The bartender asked Nathan

"Just a beer, Thanks" he replied

Nathan was at a bar thinking about his relationship with Haley. He was confused as hell.

"She doesn't make any sense. She's into me enough to get a damn tattoo, but she still won't sleep with me." He thought to himself

A young woman approached him at the bar.

"You're Nathan Scott, aren't you?" She asked

"Yeah, do we know each other?" He asked

"Sort of. I graduated from Tree Hill last year. I used to see you in the halls and at games." She said "I always thought you were pretty hot"

"Really?" He said with a smile. "How come you never did anything about it?"

"What do you think I'm doing now?" She replied. "I'm Natalie by the way."

Nathan just smiled and took another sip of his beer.

"Do you want anything?" He asked "Like a beer or something?"

"Or something" She whispered in his ear.

Nathan again took a sip of his beer. Natalie had began rubbing his thigh. Then, she kissed him.

"What?" She asked after the kiss

"Uh, nothing." He replied as he kissed her again.

The two kept making out for about a half hour. Natalie eventually broke the kiss.

"So, do you want take this further? I got my car we could do it there or we could drive somewhere." She said.

Nathan just there staring at Natalie for a few moments. He hadn't been with a woman in so long and wanted too so badly. But then he thought of Haley and how hurt she would be if he did this and how much the thought of hurting her hurt him.

"I can't." He told her as he got up and left the bar.

"So, Nate are you gonna tell us?" Brooke asked

He took a deep breath.

"A couple of years I go I cheated on…" He looked over at Haley. He still couldn't bring himself to say it. "Peyton" He said

"Dude, you cheated on me?" She asked "When?"

"Uh, well remember when all those players got suspended for stealing the bus? Well I was sorta there. Actually, I was driving and I kinda made out with one of the cheerleaders." He said

"You weren't going to say Peyton, were you?" Haley asked with tears in her eyes

"Haley," He whispered "I'm so sorry".

"When?" was all she could say

"Right after I found out about your tattoo. I was confused…"

"So you slept with someone else?"

"No, I didn't sleep with her. We just made out."

"Before of after you told me that you loved me?"

"Before, OK. I didn't sleep with her because I realized I could never hurt you and that I loved you."

"You've been hiding this all this time?"

"Hales…" Nathan said quietly

"Just stop talking Nathan, Let me think about this for a while, OK?" Haley told him

"Well, are you mad" He asked

"Can we do this later? Maybe when we're alone?" She asked

"Sure." Nathan said, not wanting to fight anymore.

"OK" Brooke said, trying to break the tension "Who are you gonna pick Nathan?"
