Chapter 18- goodbye to you
"Tim that was awesome" Kim said not noticing the hurt faces of the group
"Does anyone want refills" Haley said standing up
"No" Brooke said looking at the whole group
Haley walked into the kitchen and let out a deep breathe she decided to clean because that's what she did when she felt hurt; to Haley keeping busy meant not dealing with the issue at hand. before when she was hurt she would walk into the kitchen and start cleaning Nathan would sooner or later follow her in the kitchen and put his hands on hers and hold her tight and tell her that everything was ok, and it would all go away soon, she had nothing to worry about; but ever since she left she held it all inside of her.
Nathan didn't wait soon after Haley left to get up and run upstairs he went straight to his room to his night stand next to his bed looked in the top drawers he scrambled through paper "where is it I know I put it here" Nathan went through all of his dresser drawers but couldn't find it so he went back down stairs when he reached the bottom of the stairs he yelled "Haley" he moved to the tables in the living room messing up the papers on the table "Haley get in here"
"Nathan baby what are you looking for" Vicki sad grabbing his arm
"What" Haley said she looked different she had her hair pulled into a messy pony tail and her sleeves were rolled up and she had an apron on
"Where is my letter?"
"What letter" she said looking at him as if he were a crazy man
"That letter you sent me"
"How the hell should I know you probably threw it away" she said putting her hands on her hips
"No, no I know I kept it. It was in my top dresser drawer and now it's gone" Nathan said standing straight giving his total attention to the group
"I know where it is" Brooke said looking at Vicki smirking
A moment of silence poured over the group
"Well where it is" Nathan said looking at Brooke suspiciously
"Why don't you ask your girlfriend?" Brooke said everyone's eyes now fixed on Vicki.
Nathan cocked his head to the side looking at Vicki Haley just crossed her arms with disgust "Vicki" Nathan said
"In my coat pocket"
"what is it doing in your coat pocket" Haley said creeping closer to Vicki as she stood up Nathan moved to her coat reached into her right pocket and got it from out of there Vicki was still silent "I asked you a question" stepping closer to Vicki with each comment made.
"I…was curious?" she tried to use as a excuses
"Nope" Haley said
"I wanted to know more about you" she tried with a smile
"Try again" Haley said now so close to Vicki that she could touch her.
"Ok ok I wanted to get dirt on you"
"Dirt huh I'll show you dirt" Haley said getting in Vicki's face "so you read it"
"Yeah"
"So now you know everything don't you"
"What's your problem can't handle the fact that someone knows your past"
"Oh look who's talking" everyone is looking at the two of them battle it out
"What are you talking about" Vicki said crossing her arms
"Oh yeah I did a little homework too" Haley said a smirk on her face Vicki's eyes widened
"Like what" Vicki said hoping she was bluffing
"Do you really want me to say it here now?"
"Say what" Vicki said stepping a few feet back
"oh I don't know" she said turning around walking away a bit "lets see if these ring a bell" she said still walking but now only circling around her "matt, Joe, Dave, Chris, Sean, Max, and Steve" she stopped circling her and stopped right behind her and whispered "those help you remember honey" in her ear Haley can be quiet the sneaky one when she needs to be. Vicki's eyes were now so big it looked as if they were going to pop out "yeah that's right I know about all of you" she looked around them room and moved towards Nathan "I had to make sure you were the right people for my boys to be hangin' with and come to find out everyone's slate is clean except for our little pest over here" she said pointing to Vicki "go a head tell him" she said still smirking
"Oh you mean those are the names of the guys she brings home all the time" Nathan said handing Haley the letter
"Are you guys in like cahoots" Brooke said growing confused
"Nope just smart enough to see through her" Nathan said looking at Vicki again
"So you knew all along that's why you wouldn't…"
"Yeah pretty much" Nathan said interrupting her truth was that Nathan and Vicki hadn't had sex since that first night.
"I suggest you leave before you cause any more trouble"
"Who do think you is you can't just come in here and change everything you think you can tell me what to do"
"Honey this is my town"
"So is that why you left or was it because you thought you were pregnant"
That was the last straw Haley couldn't let this bitch walk in here and talk to her like that she had to something….
So she did 'whap' and just like that with one swing Vicki was on the ground Haley punched her right in the face.
Just like that it was done and she was back the old Haley had come home to tree hill for the first time since she left. "And that's what it's like to mess with my town" Haley said walking back into the kitchen with a big smile on her face.
Everyone ran to Vicki to help her except Nathan he just turned around and went to his room to gather her things from his room when he came back down Vicki was at the door with Brooke talking.
"Nathan I don't think I should stay here tonight so I'm gonna go home"
"Good then you can stay there" he gave her the box of her stuff she looked at him suspiciously "were done your not welcome back here" he said she stepped back a few steps and he slammed the door in her face.
