Don't worry, I am not going to pull a Mark and take a 3 month break before letting you know if Haley picks Chris or Nathan. You can know right now! Review, and enjoy!
"Haley! Haley, wait up!" Chris ran after Haley as she went backstage.
"No, Chris, stay away from me!" Haley said angrily as she walked behind the couch in the room backstage, trying to put distance between them.
--
Brooke, Peyton, Lucas and Nathan stood outside the door to the room where Haley and Chris were in. The door was opened a crack, and the group could hear everything.
--
"Did he take you back?"
Haley, who had her back to him, turned around. "Excuse me?"
"You obviously left the tour to salvage your marriage- which, by the way, was a mistake."
Haley glared at him. "My marriage was not a mistake, Chris! I can't believe you would say that! I can't believe you'd even come!"
Chris took a step closer to her, and she took a step back. "We want you back, Haley."
--
"I'm sure he does." Brooke said under her breath.
--
"You and I were going to strike it big. You want that, I know you do."
Haley walked away from him to the other side of the couch. "You don't me! You don't know me at all! I don't want that!"
"You do."
"You're wrong. I did want that. Now I just want you to leave me alone!"
"Haley-"
"No, you know what, Chris...The only guy I will ever want is Nathan. I love him, and….if you came here to get me to go back with you, then forget it. It's over."
Chris narrowed his eyes. "Which one- your career….or your marriage?"
Haley glared at him again. "The music. In case you haven't noticed, Nathan and I are back together." She flashed him her wedding ring, "I'm not leaving him again."
Chris picked up his guitar case. "You're making a mistake."
Haley was unshaken. "The mistake was listening to you in the first place."
Chris glanced at her. "I'll be awaiting your call."
"Don't bother. I'm done, Chris. Just done."
He shook his head in disgust. "I'm out of here."
Haley stood with her arms crossed as he walked out the door.
--
Chris turned to Nathan as he walked past him. "I didn't believe it at first…but she really does love you," he smirked, "Who would've thought?"
--
Haley looked at her group of friends. "Did you guys hear all of that?"
"Yeah." Peyton said guiltily."
"'Kay."
Nathan walked to her and pulled her to him. She hugged him tightly, tears escaping her eyes. Her hands were holding onto him, and he drew her closer. Only Lucas saw the single tear that ran down his cheek.
Review, please! I hoped you liked it. I needed to get the Chris confrontation out of the way. Maybe we'll see him later…maybe not. I'm not sure yet. Not positive what's up next, but it'll be good! Promise!
