Epilogue
"Home Sweet Home." Haley said as she stepped in her house. It was Tuesday morning and her family had just picked her up from the hospital. After her family had left the previous day from the hospital, she had instantly fallen asleep. When she woke up in the morning she noticed that the flowers on her nightstand had been changed during her sleep. Again.
"Haley, you hungry?" her mother yelled from the kitchen. Haley made her way towards the kitchen with the crutches.
"Yeah." She said when she got there. Her mother turned to look at her.
"Honey, what are you doing standing there? Go lie on your bed." Her mother ordered.
"Mom, I've done nothing but lie on a bed for over a week now. I need fresh air." Haley complained.
"Then open your window."
"Mom-"
"Haley, the doctor said you need at least 3 days of rest."
"You can't expect me to stay in my room for three days straight." Haley argued.
"Of course not, honey." Lydia said and smiled while making her a sandwich. "You may use the bathroom."
"Very funny." She said. "Fine, I'll stay home for three days but I'm inviting friends here."
"Which friends?" Matt asked as he, Brian and Chris came to the kitchen. Haley smiled at Matt.
"Well, Peyton and Brooke." Haley said. The guys smiled at that. But their smile faded when Haley continued. "And Lucas and Nathan and Jake."
"Haley..." Brian warned while Lydia handed the sandwich to Haley.
"Oh, and let's not forget the guys from River court: Mouth, Skills, Fergie and Junk." Haley said and took a big bite from the sandwich.
"Mom, if you want me to stay home for three days, you make sure that the twins and Matt stay away from my friends." Haley said to her mom. "From all of my friends." The boys looked at their mom expecting her to disagree.
"Deal." She said smiling.
"Mom!" the boys whined at the same time.
"Boys, you will leave Haley's friends, especially Nathan and Lucas, alone. You understand?"
"Yeah..." they mumbled not liking the idea at all.
"Fantastic. Now, carry her upstairs." Her mom ordered.
"What?" they asked confused.
"Do you want her to walk the stairs by herself with her crutches and then fall down and break her other leg and stay home even longer? No? Then carry her upstairs!" she ordered. The guys lifted a grinning Haley and started to walk towards the stairs. They carried her to her room.
"Oh, I could definitely get used to this." She said grinning. Her brothers lowered her down on her bed.
"Oh, stop grinning, will ya." Brian said a bit irritated. Haley just laughed at that. The guys started to leave.
"Wait, where are you going?" Haley asked.
"We're gonna play ball in the backyard. Too bad you can't leave your room." Chris said laughing.
"What am I supposed to do here?" Haley asked. Her brothers just smiled. "You guys suck!" Haley looked around the quiet room. She hated quietness. "Taylor!" Haley yelled as loud as she could. Soon Taylor opened the door.
"Yea, what's up?"
"I'm bored." Haley said.
"Already?" Haley just nodded. "What do you wanna do?"
"I don't know. Just entertain me." Haley said.
"Well, you wanna play cards?" Taylor asked when she saw the deck of cards on Haley's table.
"Yeah, totally." She said. "Viv! Quinn! Come here!" Haley yelled.
"What's up?" Quinn asked when she got to the room.
"Let's play cards." Taylor said excited.
"Cards? I'm in." Vivian said from behind Quinn.
"Alright. Let's play poker." Haley said.
"We playing for money?" Quinn asked.
"Do birds fly? Of course we're playing for money, stupid." Vivian said while shuffling the cards.
"Well actually there is one bird that doesn't fly, stupid." Quinn said irritated.
"Q, no one cares!" Taylor said laughing.
"Penguins." Haley said. Vivian and Taylor looked at her like she was crazy.
"Did you just call me a penguin? Do I look fat? 'Cause I looked hot on that white dress, don't even try to-"
"Tay, chill. I just meant that penguin is a bird and they don't fly." Taylor said. Quinn smiled at her and Vivian and Taylor looked bored.
"Whatever. Let's play." Vivian said and delt the cards.
--------
"Full House, baby!" Quinn yelled few hours later while throwing her cards on the floor so everyone could see. She started to collect the quarters. Vivian put her hand on top of Quinn's to stop her.
"Not so fast." Vivian said grinning. She showed her cards to the others. "Royal Flush!" she screamed happily and took the quarters from a very sullen looking Quinn.
"I don't like this game anymore." Quinn said.
"That's because you've lost over 20 bucks." Haley said laughing. Suddenly Taylor got up and ran out of the room. The other sisters looked at each other with weird looks on their faces. Taylor came back a few minutes later holding something in her hand. She stood in front of the girls while grinning madly.
"Tay? Why are you grinning?" Vivian asked when Taylor didn't say anything.
"You all owe me 25 bucks!" she yelled and showed them the digital camera that had a picture of Haley standing next to Nathan on the night of the Weast. And she was wearing a dress.
"Oh my god." Vivian and Quinn said at the same time while looking at the picture.
"Did you photoshop this?" Quinn asked with narrowed eyes. "You know, Haley's face to someone else's body?"
"You wish." Taylor said laughing.
"Haley, you look very beautiful." Vivian said.
"I agree." Quinn said.
"Thanks girls." Haley said blushing a bit. Taylor snatched the camera from their hands.
"Alright, ladies. Cash out." She said and grinned when Quinn and Vivian gave her 25 dollars. Their mom came to the door.
"Haley, Nathan's here. You feel like seeing him?"
"Yeah, of course." Haley said. Vivian, Quinn and Taylor looked at each other and got up from the floor at the same time.
"You don't have to go." Haley said even though she didn't mean it.
"Yeah, right." Taylor said and winked. "Mom, wait up! Check out this picture!" Taylor said while closing the door. Haley started to get up from the floor but it seemed to be harder to do than she imagined. She was in the middle of trying to pull herself on her bed when Nathan walked in.
"Need some help?" he asked but didn't wait for answer. He picked her up from the floor and laid her down on her bed.
"Thanks. So, what's up?" Haley asked while patting the bed for Nathan to sit there.
"Not much. I went to school today." Nathan said. Haley looked at him surprised.
"You did? That's really good, Nathan." Haley said smiling. Right that moment Nathan's own cell phone started to ring.
"What's up, Tim... I'm at Haley's..." Nathan put his hand on top of the speaker and looked at Haley. "He wants to come here." Haley nodded her head in approval and Nathan spoke to Tim again. "Yeah, sure. You can come... You know where she lives?... See you soon." Nathan said and closed the phone.
"So, you went to school today?" Haley asked again. Nathan took Haley's cell phone out of his pocket and handed it to her.
"I just went to get this from Mrs. White. She wanted to remind us to do our homework before we return to school." Nathan said.
"Oh god, school. I'm so behind in every class." Haley said stressing out.
"Me too. But we can study together. Just like old times." Nathan said smiling. Haley smiled back. Maybe it won't be so bad, after all. She thought.
"Just like old times." Haley said too. Haley saw the cards on the floor. "Hey, you wanna play some poker?" Nathan took the cards from the floor.
"Sure." He said and shuffled the cards before dealing them. They had played few games when they heard a knock on the door. Haley's mom opened the door.
"Sorry to interrupt kids but Lucas and Brooke are here."
"Yeah, that's cool. Let them in." Haley said. Lucas and Brooke came in.
"Hales, how you feeling?" Lucas asked while hugging her.
"I'm good. Mad that I'm stuck in this room for the next three days." Haley said.
"Why?" Brooke asked confused.
"Doctor's orders were 3 to 5 days rest. I'm surprised I managed to get mom to settle for the three."
"Well, at least you'll have time to do your homework." Lucas said.
"Yeah, I guess." Haley said.
"We called Jake and Peyton on our way. They should be here any minute." Lucas said.
"Good. You guys didn't have to come here though. It's not like there's anything to do here." Haley said.
"Aw, we don't care." Lucas said. "We can always watch a movie."
"Do you want me to call Peyton and tell her to rent a movie?" Brooke asked. Lucas smiled and got up from Haley's bed. He opened a door that Brooke and Nathan thought was the door to her closet, but it was filled with DVD's and videos.
"Oh my god." Brooke said and started to go through the movies there. "How many movies do you have? 200?"
"257." Lucas said without thinking. Everyone but Haley looked at him with a weird face.
"He likes to count them and alphabetize them when he's bored." Haley said smiling. Brooke turned to look at Lucas while laughing before turning back to check out Haley's movie collection.
"I love 'Stand by Me'... And you have McGyver season 1. And Laguna Beach! You are officially my favorite girlfriend." Brooke said and turned back to the dvd's.
"So, you've ditched me?" Peyton faked hurt from the doorway. She and Jake were standing there with Tim behind them.
"Haley, so good to see." Jake said and hugged her fiercely. He took a step back and looked at her with a guilty face.
"We gotta talk, Hales. I'm so sorry I yelled at you and said it was all your fault when in reality I was the one to blame. It wasn't your fault and I'm so sorry to make you feel like it was-"
"Jake, stop." Haley said smiling. "It's ok. It was kinda my fault how it got out but I hope you don't regret it." Jake looked at Peyton who was smiling at him.
"Absolutely not."
"So, Tim. Good to see you too." Haley said and turned to watch him. Tim looked at Haley but as soon as their eyes met, he looked at the floor.
"Yeah, good to see you too." He mumbled. Haley raised her eyebrows and looked at Jake.
"We found your brothers talking to Tim when we got here." Jake said smiling. Nathan gasped in horror.
"Tim, listen to me." Haley started. "They were just messing with you. They will not kill you if you look at me, alright?" Haley said in a gentle tone. It was like she was talking to a child. And in a way, she was.
"You sure?" Tim asked and looked at Haley briefly.
"Yes, I'm sure." She said.
"Good." He said and sighed in relief. Nathan patted him on the shoulder.
"I know the feeling buddy."
"Brooke, found anything you wanna watch?" Haley asked. Brooke turned to look at them with a huge grin on her face.
"B. Davis? Whatcha got there?" Peyton asked with narrowed eyes.
"Desperate housewives, season 1." Brooke said. The girls and surprisingly also Tim cheered, while Jake, Nathan and Lucas groaned.
"Hey, you can always leave if you don't like the show." Brooke said while putting the dvd on the Haley's player and turning the tv on.
"Yeah, we've got Tim." Haley said grinning. Jake, Lucas and Nathan sighed and took a seat from Haley's room.
The first episode of Desperate Housewives started.
"How the hell did I get myself into this situation?" Nathan mumbled.
"Word." Jake and Lucas said at the same time.
"Shhh!" Brooke shhh-ed them.
Few seconds later.
"Whoa! Did she just shoot herself?" Lucas asked in amazement.
"Yeah." Tim said like it was the most obvious thing.
"How come I haven't watched this show before?" Jake asked.
"Because you never listen to me. Now shut your pie holes." She said and turned her attention back to the screen.
The seven of them spend most of the next three days with Haley. They spend their nights at home, but only because Haley's mom thought that Haley needed her rest. They went to school in the morning but right after that they came to Haley's to watch movies, play cards and help her with her homework. Not that she needed any help. In fact, it usually ended up with Haley helping them with their homework. They usually stayed at Haley's till about midnight when they went to sleep in their own homes. Haley loved the company but she was starting to feel like she didn't have any alone time. Alone time with Nathan.
It was Friday morning and it was Haley's first day of school after her accident. She had done all the homework she had missed and she was ready to go to school again. The whole gang came to the house in the morning. All morning she tried to get a few seconds alone with Nathan but someone was always there to interrupt. Luckily she was able to get Tim to ride with Jake so she could be alone with Nathan.
"So, Hales. You ready for your first day?" Lucas asked. They were sitting on the porch waiting for the rest of the gang to finish their breakfast and come outside.
"It's not exactly my first day. I've only been gone less than two weeks." Haley said.
"I gotta warn you, Hales. Tree Hill High is a small school and half of the students actually saw your crash. They will talk about it." Lucas said.
"I think I can handle it." Haley said and smiled. "And if not I'm just gonna beat them with my crutches." She said waving them in the air.
"I have no doubt about it." Lucas said and looked at Haley who was still waving the crutches in the air probably thinking of different ways to hit people with them.
"I'm glad you're ok, Hales."
"Me too, Luke. Me too." The door opened and the rest of the gang came outside.
"See you at school, Hales." Jake said while he, Peyton and Tim went to Jake's car.
"Luke, let's go. We still gotta go to my house and get my books." Brooke said. She turned to look at Haley. "See you later."
"Bye Brooke. Luke." Haley said and started to get up from the porch floor. She was about to take the first step when Nathan stopped her.
"What?" Haley asked confused. Nathan turned his back on her and lowered down a bit.
"Hop on." He said.
"What?" Haley asked laughing.
"Hop on."
"You want to give me a piggyback ride?" Haley asked grinning.
"Yeah, hop on." Haley rolled her eyes, took her crutches and started to slowly walk towards his car.
"I'm not gonna hop on your back." She said laughing. Nathan looked at her for a second, shrugged his shoulders and threw her over his shoulder while making sure he didn't hurt her broken leg.
"Nathan, let me down!" Haley yelled laughing while hitting his back. Nathan looked at her ass on his shoulder.
"Nice view." He said laughing.
"Nathan!" she said and hit his back some more.
"Haley!" Nathan mimicked her voice and laughed.
"Nathan! Put me down." Haley giggled. Nathan opened the front door of his car.
"Sure, whatever you say babe." He said and lowered her down to the car and put her stuff on the back seat. Haley sat on the seat and waited for Nathan to walk to his side of the car.
"So, you thought that was fun?" Haley asked and smiled a little when Nathan turned the engine on and started to drive towards the school.
"Yes, I did." He said remembering Haley's ass on his shoulder. He looked at Haley for a second and smiled before turning his eyes back on the road.
Haley looked at Nathan at the corner of her eyes. He was wearing a black wife beater with some shorts. Haley couldn't help but notice how muscular and tanned his arms looked. She looked to her right and saw that they were about to drive by River court. Haley licked her lips and turned to look at Nathan fully.
"Pull up." She said calmly without taking her eyes off of him. Nathan looked at her on confusion.
"What?"
"Pull up. Park the car." She said and grinned.
"Ok..." he said and turned right and drove next to the basketball court. He parked the car close to the water and turned to look at her. The look on her face was a mixture of happiness, cunningness and... was that lust?
"So, what's-" Nathan got cut off by Haley's lips. With a cat-like move, Haley had jumped on Nathan's lap (yes, with a broken bone, don't ask how) and started to kiss him fiercely. Nathan automatically wrapped his arms around her.
"Whoa... whoa!... what are you!...oh... so good..." Nathan mumbled between kisses. When Haley moved the kissing to his neck, he was able to talk.
"Haley, what are you doing?" Nathan mumbled with his eyes closed. Haley stopped kissing him but didn't move from her position. She wrapped her arms around his neck and looked at him in the eyes.
"These past few days I've had a lot of time to think. About us." Haley said.
"And...?" Nathan asked.
"And like I said to Lucas, I think that staying mad forever is no fun. And I wanna have fun." Haley said and smiled that cunning smile.
"Ok, so are we like back together or...?" Nathan asked.
"We only get one life, Nathan." Haley said and smiled a genuine smile. "And I want you in it." Haley said and gave him a small, sweet kiss on the lips. Nathan returned it.
"That's a yes, by the way." Haley said grinning when she ended the kiss.
"You have no idea how happy that makes me." Nathan said and smiled widely. He felt like a huge weight had been lifted from his shoulders.
"Why don't you just show me how happy you are?" Haley said grinning. She licked his earlobe lightly and grinned when she felt Nathan shiver a little bit and tighten his hold on her. Haley started to pull his shirt over his head.
"You serious about this?" Nathan asked when he noticed he wasn't wearing a shirt anymore.
"Yeah." She said simply and smiled while continuing to kiss him.
"But school's starting in a minute. And we're in a car. At River court." Nathan said trying to make some sense to Haley. He wanted to be with Haley but he just wanted to be sure that she was.
"We're in a deserted basketball court in an SUV which means there's a fuck-friendly backseat not to even mention tinted windows and I really don't care about missing first period." Haley said while slowly taking her shirt off, revealing her black bra.
"Wait, why am I against this?" Nathan asked mostly from himself while staring at Haley's shirtless body on top of him. Haley laughed and shrugged her shoulders. Nathan grabbed her waist and smoothly moved them to the backseat.
About an hour later an SUV with tinted windows stopped at the Tree Hill High parking lot. Two persons, a guy and a girl, came out. The girl leaned on the car and put her messy hair up in a bun. The guy adjusted his shirt and belt and took both of their stuff so the girl didn't have any extra weight on her broken leg. They started walking towards the school. As soon as they opened the main doors of the school, the bell which signaled the end of first period, rang.
The whole student body watched as Nathan Scott and Haley James made their way towards her locker. It was the first time either of them had been seen after the infamous accident. They watched as Haley opened her locker, put a bunch of books in her locker that Nathan had been holding and took a few out. Haley slammed the locker shut and kissed Nathan hungrily who was more than willing to respond. They saw Nathan lean on Haley so her back was against the lockers and Haley's hand creep up his shirt.
Who knows how far they would have gone if their friends hadn't stopped them.
"What the hell are you doing?" Lucas asked a bit annoyed. Sure, he was ok with Nathan now but it didn't mean he wanted to see him practically have sex in the middle of the corridor with his best friend.
"PDA much?" Brooke asked laughing while casting a warning glance to Lucas' direction. She didn't want Lucas to start a fight. Nathan and Haley snapped out of their own little worlds and turned to look at an annoyed Lucas and a grinning Brooke.
"Oh, hey guys." Haley said. Brooke looked at Haley's shirt and laughed.
"Hi Haley. And the James twins." Brooke laughed and pointed at Haley's cleavage. Apparently her top had fallen a bit and she was showing a lot of cleavage.
"My eyes! I'm going blind!" Lucas said while holding his hand over his eyes. Haley was like the little sister he never had and he definitely didn't wanna know anything about her sex life.
"Oh, grow up Luke." Haley said laughing while letting Nathan adjust her shirt. "It's not like I said anything when I walked in on you making out with that Molly girl last year."
"Who's Molly and more importantly is she hotter than me? No wait, richer than me?" Brooke asked grinning.
"We both have an open hour now, right? Why don't we talk about it over a cup of coffee at the caféteria?" Haley said grinning. Brooke linked her arm with Haley's.
"Sure, I have a bunch of stories about Nathan too." Brooke said smiling. She tiptoed to give Lucas a kiss.
"See you at lunch." She said. Haley gave Nathan a quick kiss too.
"And the same goes for you." Haley said before leaving with Brooke. Lucas and Nathan looked at the two girls who made their way through the crowded hall.
"This can't be good." Nathan muttered.
"Yeah, tell me about it." Lucas said trying to think of all the embarrassing stories Haley might tell Brooke. Nathan and Lucas started to walk towards their lockers.
"So, you and Haley are together again?" Lucas asked while opening his locker. Nathan did the same to his.
"Yeah, you got a problem?" Nathan asked.
"No but you should know that if you hurt her, she won't be the only one with a broken leg." Lucas said.
"Gotcha." Nathan said and took his physics book out.
"I'm serious, Nathan. Haley's like my little sister. Don't mess with her." Lucas said.
"Don't worry." Nathan said and slammed his locker shut. "See you at lunch."
"Yeah, you too." Lucas said and went to his class.
-------------
It was the end of the school day. As Lucas and Nathan had feared, Brooke and Haley had told all the embarrassing stories about the guys to each other. Peyton had joined them and together they had come up with the master (or monster, like the guys said) idea of tripple date. Jake, Nathan and Lucas had been against the idea, saying it was the second most stupid thing ever, after naming a pet bunny Bunny. Haley had hit them with her crutches.
They decided to do the classical dinner and a movie –date, with the guys paying everything, of course. Nathan drove Haley home, after a quick stop by the River court.
Haley got home and was surprised too see the whole familly sitting in the living room.
"What's going on?" Haley asked when she got to the living room.
"Please, sit down. We need to talk." Her mother said. Haley took a seat next to Matt on the couch.
"Who died?" Haley asked joking.
"You almost did." Lydia said. Haley looked down at her foot that had the cast. It was a constant reminder of the accident.
"I know." Haley said and sighed.
"Your mother and I have decided that from now on, we will stay home with you." Jimmy said. Haley looked up with a hopeful look.
"Really?"
"Yes, and if for some reason we can't be here, one of you sisters or brothers will." Lydia said. Haley looked at them.
"I appreciate this but I don't need a babysitter." Haley said. She wanted more than anything to have her parents home but she didn't want them to feel like they had no choice.
"We know that, honey. We realized that we have been unfair to you. It is not alright that we leave you on your own. We know that you can take care of yourself and you're more mature than most of your sisters." Lydia said while looking at Vivian and Taylor.
"Hey!" they said in annoyance.
"You don't have to worry about us leaving you alone. We're not going anywhere." Jimmy said. Haley smiled widely.
"Thank you." Haley said.
"There's something else we wanna tell you." Matt said.
"What is it?"
"We gotta leave." Quinn said with a sad face.
"To your homes?" Haley asked.
"Yeah. But we would stay longer if we could." Vivian said.
"I know and I understand." Haley said smiling. "When are you leaving?"
"Tonight." Taylor said and looked down.
"Ok." Haley said.
"Haley, we don't wanna go but-"
"It's ok, I understand. Besides, it's not that long till Christmas." Haley said smiling.
"True." Taylor said. "So, why don't we all promise that we're gonna spend Christmas here?" Quinn said.
"Sounds good." Vivian said. Taylor nodded and the twins and Matt agreed too.
"So, anything else?" Haley asked smiling.
"No, that's it honey." Lydia said smiling.
cough "Curfew!" cough Brian coughed. Haley turned to look at him.
"Did you just curfew-cough me?" Haley asked.
"Mom, Haley needs a curfew." Chris said.
"What? Why?" Haley asked.
"We don't want you hanging out all night long with that friend of yours, Nathan." Brian said.
"Boyfriend." Haley corrected.
"What?" Brian and Chris said at the same time.
"Nathan and I are back together. He's picking me up in about an hour, actually. And if any of you make him feel uncomfortable in any way, I will never speak to you again." Haley said smiling sweetly.
"Where is he taking you?" Matt asked calmly in a very Godfather-like voice.
"We're gonna have dinner and watch a movie with Brooke, Lucas, Jake and Peyton." Haley said.
"A tripple date?" Quinn asked smiling.
"Yep."
"And the guys are paying for everything?" Vivian asked.
"Naturally."
"What are you wearing?" Taylor asked.
"Tay, I'm not having this discussion with you." Haley said and got up from the couch.
"Where are you going?" Brian asked.
"Upstairs." She said. "You gonna carry me or what?" she asked grinning. The twins and Matt got up from the couch and carried her to her bedroom. The girls followed them. Lydia and Jimmy stayed in the living room.
"Do you think we should set up a curfew for Haley?" Jimmy asked.
"No, she's a mature girl. We didn't set up a curfew for any of the other kids and they turned out just fine." Lydia said. "I can't believe our youngest one is so big already."
"Don't you just miss the time when they were still unable to walk?" Jimmy asked.
"Or talk back." Lydia said. "I do miss that."
"What do you say we go and try to have another?" Jimmy said and winked.
"Very unlike to happen." Lydia said. "But we can always try."
--------
"Mom and dad still in the basement?" Quinn asked when Matt and Vivian came back to Haley's room after getting them all something to drink from downstairs.
"Yep." Vivian said and shuddered. Matt gave Haley her glass of ice tea and sat down next to her bed.
"So, Matt. How's Sheila?" Taylor asked.
"She's good." Matt said smiling.
"Any chance on setting up a date for the wedding, let's say, before the end of the year?" Taylor asked and looked at Haley. They had made a bet which one would get married first, Matt or Quinn.
"So, Quinn! You and Brandon doing ok? Still engaged? Getting married soon?" Haley asked. Quinn turned to look at Matt with a quizzical look on her face. Matt just shrugged his shoulders.
"What's going on?" Quinn asked.
"Nothing, we just wanna know which one gets married first." Taylor said.
"No one is getting married." Matt said smiling.
"Damn." Haley said laughing. She looked at the clock on the wall.
"Shit, Nathan's coming any minute. Gotta get ready." Haley said and started to get up from the bed.
"Just sit back and we'll clothe you." Taylor said and grinned. Haley rolled her eyes but leaned back on the pillow.
"Ok, guys out!" Vivian ordered and opened the door. The guys left and Vivian slammed the door shut.
"Alright, let's see what we have here..." Taylor said and started to go through Haley's clothes.
"So, how far have you and Nathan gone?" Vivian asked casually. Haley almost choked on her ice tea.
"What?" she asked while wiping her mouth.
"Have you and Nathan had sex yet?" Vivian asked.
"Of course they haven't." Quinn said laughing. Haley suddenly found the pillow on her lap very interesting. Vivian and Taylor started laughing and screaming at the same time.
"Oh my god, you have!" Vivian said. She, Taylor and Quinn sat down on her bed around her.
"So, the three W's. Where, when and which position." Vivian asked grinning.
"How was it?" Taylor asked.
"Did you use protection?" Quinn asked worried.
"You nosy bitches." Haley said smiling. "It was this morning, in his car and yes, we did use protection. Happy?" Haley asked and tried to get up. She still hadn't changed.
"No, which position?" Vivian asked. Haley grinned at her.
"That's for me to know." She winked.
"And us to find out?" Taylor asked.
"Nope. Just give me some clothes, please." Haley said. She distantly heard a doorbell ring but couldn't be sure because of the noise downstairs. Apparently her brothers had turned the music on to block the disturbing noises from the basement.
"How about this top?" Taylor held a piece of clothing in the air.
"That's a shirt? Thougt it was a bra." Quinn muttered.
Meanwhile downstairs
The doorbell really had rang. And unfortunitely for Nathan, it was Brian and Chris who opened the door.
"What do you want"? Brian asked.
"I came to pick up-"
"Yeah, you came to pick up our baby sister." Chris said.
"Yeah..."
"So, what are your plans for tonight?" Brian asked.
"We're tripple dating with Brooke, Lucas, Jake and Peyton."
"Oh really, where are they now?" Chris asked.
"Waiting in the car." Brian and Chris looked behind Nathan and saw his black SUV parked there. They could see four persons waiting outside the car.
"So, what are you doing tonight?"
"Dinner and a movie."
"Matching stories... Very good." Chris said.
"It's not a story. It's what we're doing." Nathan said.
"That's what you say."
"Look, can you please just get Haley?"
"What, you don't wanna hang out with us anymore?"
"Are we boring you?"
"You don't like us?"
"Good, because we don't like you eather."
"Whatcha gonna do now, big boy?"
"Chris, Brian. Get inside." The twins turned to see Matt standing behind them. The twins smirked to each other and mouthed 'you're dead' to Nathan.
"Nathan." Matt said after he closed the door.
"Matthew." Nathan said back.
"So, I understand you and Haley are seeing each other again?" Matt asked.
"Yeah, we are."
"And you're taking her out tonight?"
"We're tripple dating with Brooke, Lucas, Peyton and Jake."
"That's what I heard. So, I see you all are driving together." Matt said when he saw the people outside Nathan's car.
"Yeah, we though it would be more convenient."
"I see. So, it's your SUV?"
"Yeah, I'll be driving."
"I probably don't have to tell you to drive carefully."
"No, you-"
"But I'm gonna do it anyways. Drive carefully."
"I always do."
"Because if she gets into another car accident, I will personally drive over you, got it?"
"Yeah, got it." Nathan said. Something about the calm way Matt was talking assured Nathan that he was not joking.
"I don't trust you, Nathan. I will never trust any guy who's with her or any of my other sisters. But I do trust you to take care of her."
"I will."
"Good. Now, as her oldest brother it's my duty to tell you this. And this is from the whole family."
"What is it?" Nathan asked.
"You break her heart, I break your neck." Matt said with an icy glare. Right that moment the front door opened. Taylor looked at Matt and Nathan.
"Oh, good. You're here." Taylor said and turned to yell upstairs. "Hales! Nathan's here!" Taylor turned to look at Nathan. "So, what's up Nate."
"Nothing, just chatting with your brothers."
"Oh god, did they hit you? Kick you? Hurt you in any way?"
"No, nothing like that." Nathan said smiling. Taylor turned to glare at Matt.
"If you smashed his windshield with a sledge hammer like you did to that one guy-"
"Relax, I didn't do anything. We just chatted."
"Good, go get Haley. I need to chat with Nathan too." Taylor said. Matt left to get Haley.
"So, Nathan. How's it going?"
"Why don't you just skip to the part where you tell me you will kill me if I hurt your sister?" Nathan said smirking.
"If you hurt her, I will tell Matt that you had sex with his baby sister. Twice." Taylor said. Nathan looked at her with a panicked look.
"She told you?"
"Oh, please. She tells me everything." Taylor said. She looked behind her and saw that Matt was carrying Haley downstairs.
"Listen to me Nathan. I'm sure my brothers have warned you about hurting her and all."
"That's an understatement."
"I have the same warning as they do. Hurt her, we hurt you. But also and this is only from me, if you ever have sex with her again on the back seat of some car, I will hunt you down and chop off your balls. Haley deserves a five-star hotel."
"Got it."
"Good." Taylor said and turned around to see Matt lowering Haley to the ground. Taylor looked at the jeans and the black shirt Haley was wearing.
"You didn't wear the skirt I suggested."
"It was leather."
"So?"
"And you can't bend down with it without showing your ass."
"Awesome, huh." Vivian said from behind them. The twins and Quinn also came to the porch.
"Hales, I'm gonna miss you." Quinn said and hugged her.
"I'm gonna miss you too." Haley said and let go. She then turned to hug Vivian and then the twins.
"Matt, c'mere." Haley said and opened her arms. Matt took a step forward and hugged her.
"Take care, lil' one."
"Always, see you at Christmas Matt. Say hi to Sheila for me."
"I will." He said and let him go. Taylor looked at Haley with a smile.
"My hot bitch." Taylor said while looking at Haley.
"My ho." Haley said smiling. Taylor smiled and gave Haley a big hug.
"Thanks for taking care of me, sis." Haley whispered to Taylor.
"Anytime, hon. I'm just so happy you woke up."
"Me too."
"I did tell you I was gonna make you sleep one week straight, didn't I."
"You did." Haley said when she remembered Taylor's words before the race. "I gotta go now." She said and let Taylor go. "See you all at Christmas." Haley said.
"Yeah, see you at Christmas." Matt said. Haley turned to look at Nathan.
"How about that piggyback ride?" Nathan smirked and turned his back on her.
"Hop on." He said. Haley hopped on his back and turned to wave goodbye to her brothers and sisters. They watched her sit on the passenger side seat while Nathan went to the driver's side. The rest sat on the back seats. They saw Nathan reverse from the driveway and start to drive away. The James kids watched Haley open the window and wave them one last time. They watched the car drive away. Taylor looked at the driveway.
"What the hell did she do to the mailbox?"
-----
"What's with the waving?" Lucas asked when Haley closed the window.
"I just said goodbye to them." Haley said.
"They're leaving?"
"Tonight." Haley answered.
"You ok?" Nathan asked.
"Yep." She said and smiled. She turned around to look at the others.
"So, where's Jenny?"
"With my parents. I promised to go home early. They said hi, by the way."
"Thank your mom for the cookies, they were delicious." Haley said to Jake.
"I will." Jake said.
"So, how are you, Peyton?"
"I'm good. Excited about tonight."
"Really?"
"Well, we haven't really gone out as a group yet." Peyton said.
"That's right. We haven't." Brooke said. "This is the beginning of a beautiful relationship." Brooke said and they all laughed except for Nathan.
"Yeah, if we just make a pact that you don't tell any embarrassing stories about me to Haley." Nathan said.
"Oh, come on. I told her nothing." Brooke said grinning.
"So, you didn't tell her about the time when I drank too much and puked on your washing machine?"
"No." Brooke said and grinned widely. "But you just did." Haley started to laugh out loud.
"Brooke only told me about the time when you farted while doing sit-ups." Haley said and the whole car started to laugh, except for Nathan.
"Peyton died her hair green." Nathan said and everyone looked at a blushing Peyton.
"It was an accident! And it was light yellow!" Peyton said but everyone still laughed. "Brooke wet her pants at cheerleading practise." Peyton said and laughed at the shocked look on Brooke's face.
"You made me laugh! Haley threw an ashtray at Jake and he has a scar from it."
"Oh, everyone knows that." Haley said.
"Well, Lucas likes to sing after sex." Brooke said and everyone laughed even harder.
"Haley can't park!"
"Lucas!" Haley yelled.
"What!" Nathan asked not believing. "But you race!"
"That's right, but she just can't park." Lucas said.
"It's not that easy!" Haley defended.
"Have you seen her mailbox?" Jake asked grinning.
"Shut up, Scarface." Haley said but Jake just laughed harder.
"Oh, look at your own face." Jake said grinning. Haley rolled her eyes while laughing.
"What about her mailbox?" Nathan said. "Wait, she didn't hit her own mailbox, did she?"
"Yes, she did." Lucas said. "And she also smashed her side mirror to her garage wall."
"What!" Nathan asked. "Girl, you ain't never driving my car."
"Afraid I would drive faster than you?" Haley asked with a smirk. Brooke, Lucas, Jake and Peyton "ooh"-ed in the backseat.
"What's that supposed to mean?" Nathan asked.
"Nothing. Except that I'm a better racer than you." Haley said.
"What?" Nathan asked like it was the stupidest thing.
"Well, I would've beaten you."
"No, you wouldn't have."
"I was ahead of you right before the finish line."
"But you never crossed the finish line."
"Neither did you."
"Well, technically I did. When I went to get my car from there, I drove over the finish line."
"That was like one week after!"
"But it counts."
"No, it doesn't."
"Oh, yes it does."
"I'm smarter!"
"And prettier!" Brooke yelled grinning.
"And prettier." Haley said to Nathan.
"That you are." Nathan said and winked at her. "But I'm better at sports."
"Oh, you haven't seen me play soccer yet."
"But I'm still better at basketball than you are at soccer."
"Do you want Nathan to park the car and us to get out so you and Nathan can come to an agreement on the back seat?" Brooke asked smirking from the back seat and winked at Haley. She turned to look at Brooke.
"No, Brooke. That's not necessa- Nathan! You keep this car on the road!"
THE END
Don't forget to review! Oh, and I have a weird question for all of you. :) I'm working on my new Naley fanfic and I need to know if 'Colgate' means something other than the tooth paste. :) English is not my 1st language so I don't know if it has a meaning or not.
-Fes-
