"Tim, you got married? To who?" Everyone was buzzing with questions and whispering what they thought.

"Hey everyone!" Theresa said walking in the door and putting her hands around Tim's waist.

"Tim did you get married to Theresa?" Lucas asked

"Well, yea. It started off as a drunk Vegas thing but then I kind of liked the idea of having free se..."

"Tim, there are kids in the room." Lucas said raising his voice.

Everybody was talking at once and Brooke stood up and tapped her glass for attention.

"While we are on the subject of surprises as a result of an accident. I have one myself. Well... I'm pregnant!" Again the yard was full of whispers and gossip.

"I guess I should share my surprise too," Nathan said, "Abby slept with another guy." This time the room wasn't loud but it was silent. Nathan had said that thinking it was in his head. At the point when no one talked Nathan realized he had said it out loud. Nathan was frozen in his place until he broke down into tears and left the room.

Lucas and Haley both ran inside the house after him. They got to the door that Nathan had ran into when Lucas turned to Haley.

"You should just go back outside, Hales. I don't think he needs to see you right."

"No. I think that I can help him. In case you have forgotten I used to be the one that stopped his fears and helped him through tough times."

"The key word was "used to " Haley."

"Lucas, just trust me. I know what to do."

"All right but Haley remember you broke his heart to and he's vulnerable right now."
"I know." Haley said and knocked on the door.

"Whoever it is I don't need your sympathy." Nathan said coldly.

"Nathan listen to me. I know how it feels to lose someone you love. I lost someone that was very close to me and I loved very much. I lost my husband. Logan didn't deserve to die. And believe me losing someone in a car accident is the same as having them cheat. He stabs you right in the heart. So you may not want to believe it but I know very well what you're going though." Haley wiped away a few stray tears and looked at Nathan. He hadn't moved the whole time she talked.

"OK well just if you need someone to talk to I'll always be there for you Nathan." Haley said and walked out of the room.

"I'm getting worried about Nathan." Jake said to Peyton.

"He's strong. I know he can get through it but he needs to know that he is strong."

"Hey guys," Brooke said walking over to them.
"Oh Brooke. Congratulations! I'm so happy for you." Peyton said, happy for the change of mood.

"Thanks, but to tell you the truth. I don't know if I can handle another child. It's hard enough with one."

"You'll do great. But what do you think about the whole Tim getting married to Theresa. How long do you think it will last."

"I give it a month before they both cheat on each other." Brooke laughed.

"Really. I give it to the end of the week."

"Haley can I talk to you." Nathan said a little unsure of himself.

"Yeah! Um... Lets go inside where there's less people."

They walked silently until they got inside to the comfort of the living room.

"I have a confession," Nathan started, "I...Well I... OK I'll just say it. I like you."

"Nathan you don't really mean that. Right now you're just a little insecure."

"No, I'm not. I mean it. Do you like me or not because if you don't I know that your a lying Bitch."

"What is your ego that big that if someone doesn't like you that they're lying. Your pathetic."

"Oh I'm pathetic. Fine I'll walk my pathetic ass out that door and show you what pathetic is not." Nathan Yelled leaving the room and to the backyard where everyone was. He went straight up to Bev and kissed her like he had never kissed before. Mainly because he had never kissed someone he didn't like.

"Oh two can play that game." Haley said to herself. She walked straight up to a guy she recognized from the Tree Hill High old basketball team and started grinding with him to the music. She looked straight at Nathan with a smirk on her face as she grinded.

"Mom. What are you doing." Carson came up to her.

"Oh shi... I mean shot. Um...Nothing Carson just playing a game called "jealousy." Haley said backing off of the guy and walking out of view of Nathan.

"Well, I still have homework so can we go home."

"Why didn't you do it Friday? Nevermind OK lets go home let me just say bye to Brooke, Lucas Jake and Peyton." Haley said frustrated.

"Brooke I have to go. But thank you so much for inviting me. I had a great time." Haley lied.

"Oh Tutor mom, us girls are having a slumber party like old times tomorrow night because Luke is taking Nate, Tim, Mouth and Jake to he bars. He figures Nate needs it. But then they are going come back and we are going have a party so they won't get to drunk. We figure that if we have one night with no kids lets do everything. But anyways do you want to come. Karen's baby-sitting for us all."

"I don't know if I can," Haley protested

"Please Haley please Haley please. I even called you Haley."

"OK OK I'll come. What time?"

"6:00"

OK I'm so sorry that was a really slow and boring chapter but I just needed to put that stuff in sometime for later use of the conflicts. So yes I'm really sorry. Please forgive me and keep reading my story.
