A/N: Thanks for all the reviews!

PEYTON'S HOUSE, KITCHEN

"Haley, why didn't you tell me you were pregnant or better yet just run away right after you said that you'd marry me?!" Nathan and Haley were both talking, or a little louder than talking, in the kitchen of Peyton's house while Lucas and Brooke talked in Peyton's room. Everyone who was there- which basically was everyone-couldn't help but over hear.

"Wait, Nathan proposed to Haley?" Jake asked Peyton but Peyton just put her finger over her lips motioning Jake to be quiet.

"Look Nathan. I'm sorry. I really am but I was scared that you wouldn't want this baby with me. I was scared and I'm sorry about everything. And-"

"First of all, why wouldn't I want to raise Kayla with you? Haley, I'm not that stupid. I knew that you'd get pregnant because I know didn't use a condom and I know that you weren't taking any birth pills or anything. And second of all, I know you're sorry but that's not what I'm asking you. What I'm asking you is why did you run when you said yes to marrying me? What, were you too scared to say no to me? And I'm sure that's not the answer because you wouldn't be wearing that ring right now unless it's just to impress me. Haley please tell me why. That's all I'm asking." At this time Haley, Peyton, and Jenny started to have tears coming down their cheeks. Haley then sat down on a stool that was in the kitchen and looked at Nathan who was breathing hard and looking right back at Haley.

"I still can't believe Nathan proposed to Haley." Jake said, making Peyton and Jenny say, "Shh!"

"Well?" Nathan asked, still looking at Haley.

"I-I-" Haley struggled.

"You see? You don't even know. I bet you even forgot that I proposed to you when you ran." Nathan nodded his head and walked out while Haley sat there, alone. Jake, Tim, Peyton, and Jenny ran back to the living room and pretended to act normal when they heard Nathan coming. Of course Nathan didn't know but he felt tension in the room though he didn't feel like saying anything so he just walked out of the house, slamming the door closed. A few minutes later, Haley came into the living room still crying. She walked over to Peyton, sat down, and laid her head down on Peyton's shoulder while Peyton comforted her. Everyone else just sat their, thinking about what they just overheard. They have questions and they want answers. But how could they get answers when there's so much trouble? After about 10 minutes, Brooke and Lucas walked into the room with angry faces.

Hey guys! I know, I'm so sorry that it took me a long time and that this is a short chapter. Please review!!
